The school beauty's four boyfriends 13
Qi An'an walked in and habitually hung her key on the hook on the wall. As she was about to change her shoes, she subconsciously glanced at the vase on the shoe cabinet.
That bunch of hand-woven sunflowers had been there for several years, and she could tell at a glance that it had been moved.
At the same time, Xiao Hei reminded her, "An'an, someone has installed surveillance cameras in the house!"
Qi An'an didn't stop moving, asking as she changed her slippers, "How many? Where?"
Xiao Hei: "One sunflower vase, one above the TV, and one on the bedroom desk."
Qi An'an frowned slightly, unable to figure out who could easily enter her room and install surveillance cameras.
Those four... don't seem like people capable of doing this kind of thing, could they be from her mother's side?
But Wang Ruoyun had no reason to do that.
Qi An'an didn't linger in the living room, but headed towards the bedroom. She tidied up her things at the desk and, sure enough, saw several fingerprints on the dusty bookshelf.
The camera was installed inside a model car on the bookshelf.
She thought about it and decided not to cover it up.
The desk was next to her bed, and the camera was filming the wardrobe, not the bed.
This camera was clearly meant to spy on her, but it wasn't purely intended to film her privacy; otherwise, the person behind it could have easily installed it in the bathroom.
Qi An'an couldn't figure it out, so after tidying up the table, she turned around, grabbed her clothes, and went to take a shower.
[Hey Blackie, can you figure out who planted the camera?]
Xiao Hei became dejected. "No, but the target is downstairs right now..."
Qi An'an: "Hmm?"
A moment later, Xiao Hei said again, "He's left again now."
Qi An'an: "..."
She closed the bathroom door and immediately sent a message to Yan Xingcun: Have you returned?
Yan Xingcun: Hmm.
Qi An'an: "..."
This person is always lying through their teeth.
She put down her phone and locked the door.
After Xiao Hei was blocked, she still felt a little creeped out by the thought of those three cameras.
After all, someone could easily get into her place...
She quickly finished showering, climbed into bed, turned off the main light, and left only a bedside lamp on.
She pulled the blanket over her head and curled up to scroll through her phone.
Yan Xingcun had sent her a message not long ago.
It's a picture of a cat wiggling its two pert buttocks as it walks away.
Very cute.
Qi An'an replied: I saw the egg!
She saw Yan Xingcun's contact name change from "The other party is typing" to his name, then back to "The other party is typing", and so on.
She smiled slightly and exited the chat.
For some reason, she was suddenly added to a newly created chat group.
There is no group name; only a few familiar nicknames are displayed.
Five people.
Then she saw that the four of them had each posted their location...
According to location data, all four of them were at home.
But this situation left Qi An'an somewhat confused. What exactly was going on with their group sending out location information?
Should I let her know I'm safe?
Mo Sinian: Why are there five people?
Yan Xingcun: I accidentally dragged her into this.
Ji Yu:......
Wei Lin: ...
Qi An'an: ...
How incredibly careless of you!
"..." Qi An'an wanted to send more messages to ask them what was going on, but then—
She was kicked out of the group.
The person who kicked someone out was the group owner, Mo Sinian.
They formed the group just to keep an eye on each other so that no one would secretly go to see her.
Yan Xingcun saw her reply just now, but couldn't think of how to reply to her for a moment. In a moment of madness, he accidentally added her to the group as well.
Qi An'an looked at her phone, blinked, and didn't pursue the matter any further.
Boys have lots of little secrets.
But she quickly created a group and added four boys to it. The group name was "Qi An'an's Ex-Boyfriends".
Mo Sinian: ?
Yan Xingcun: ?
Ji Yu:?
Wei Lin: ?
The screen was flooded with four question marks.
Qi An'an held her phone, beaming with joy.
Qi An'an: Goodnight~
After sending that message, she disbanded the group.
You can imagine how bewildered those four must be right now, just like she was a moment ago.
Meanwhile, Mo Sinian quietly changed the name of another group to "Qi An'an's Ex-Boyfriends".
Ji Yu: I'll have to leave the group sooner or later.
Wei Lin: Hehe
Mo Sinian:
Yan Xingcun remained silent.
Qi An'an was just about to go to sleep when she suddenly received a video call from Yan Xingcun.
This is the first time.
During their ambiguous relationship, they never video chatted; they were both quite reserved people.
She was still in bed, but she still answered the call.
It was a bit dark on Yan Xingcun's side, like he was in a garden, with streetlights and trees in the background. Only half of his face was visible as he was walking.
"Yan Xingcun..."
The girl's voice was very soft, as if she didn't want anyone to hear it.
Yan Xingcun happened to be wearing Bluetooth headphones, and after hearing it, he felt a slight tingling sensation in his ears.
He glanced down at the screen and saw the blurry, dark image on her end. He then deliberately leaned closer to look. "Didn't you say you were going to finish reading the borrowed books in the next couple of days?"
"I want to sleep, I'll watch it tomorrow." The screen on Qi An'an's end went completely dark, and you could see that she turned over in bed.
Yan Xingcun walked slowly along the cobblestone path, his mind suddenly filled with that image, and his ears burned.
"Hmm." He uttered a single word and looked back at his phone screen.
I still couldn't see what was happening on her end, but her voice was getting lower and lower, "You're home?"
"Um."
Are you very busy during winter break?
"Um."
Qi An'an didn't want the spy camera to catch her talking, so she kept speaking in a low voice. After speaking for a while, she felt a little itchy, so she hung up the video call.
Send a message to Yan Xingcun: I'm sleepy, go to sleep, goodnight.
Yan Xingcun stared at those words, his steps abruptly halting, his expression shifting dramatically, his handsome features tinged with melancholy in the night.
She hung up on him so impatiently.
But when he recalled their brief conversation, he felt he deserved it; he really was quite boring.
Qi An'an was unaware that her actions had plunged an innocent young man into a state of mental contemplation and reflection. She put down her phone and went to sleep.
Xiao Hei sighed deeply beside her pillow, wondering if she was too relaxed; how could she fall asleep like that!
It rolled around and around until it finally became drowsy.
——
Qi An'an naturally didn't do well on the final exam this time.
Although Ji Yu and Yan Xingcun missed the exam along with her, their scores were about the same as last time.
Ji Yu has made progress, while Xing Cun is clearly controlling the score.
When the rankings came out, Qi An'an's declining grades inevitably attracted attention again.
But since no one had classes back then, the topic quickly faded away.
During winter break, with the weather cold and three unidentified security cameras in her home, Qi An'an rarely went out, hoping something might happen.
These closely packed buildings were extremely dilapidated and had no surveillance cameras, so she had no way to investigate. Of course, she wanted to wait for the other party to slip up on their own.
But nothing happened until just before the Spring Festival.
Wang Ruoyun would take Qi An'an out to play every week, and Xu Zihan would occasionally be there too, with a mean look, probably like his father Xu Zhi.
During the spring cleaning, Qi An'an removed the car and sunflowers, leaving only the camera on the TV, which she covered with a dust cloth.
She thought this would force the person behind the camera to come out.
On New Year's Eve, Qi An'an received many New Year's greetings. She replied to each one while also busy preparing her own New Year's Eve dinner.
Hearing the knock, she saw Wei Lin standing in the doorway.
Wei Lin was wearing a khaki scarf today, which made him look as gentle as the winter sun. However, he looked away slightly when he met her eyes.
Qi An'an invited him in.
Wei Lin is a typical example of someone who says one thing but does another, and the two of them still haven't been able to have a proper talk.
So she was quite surprised that he was here.
"Are you cooking?"
Wei Lin's voice was muffled.
He glanced at the direction of the small kitchen, and couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
The small living room was very tidy, clean, and warm, with festive red paper-cut window decorations. However, she was all alone there...
Wei Lin quickly glanced around, his gaze landing on Qi An'an's face. He saw that she looked calm, as if she had long been used to this quietness.
He couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart; it was a bittersweet, throbbing sensation, and he had an urge to take her away from here.
She's Qi An'an, after all. She should be surrounded by admirers, and she should be accepting everyone's kindness with a smile...
Instead of spending the day when everyone else is reunited, she is left alone in this small, quiet house, preparing her own New Year's Eve dinner.
Qi An'an: "Okay, I'll just make two dishes."
Wang Ruoyun was going to attend the Xu family's banquet, so she sent Qi An'an a large red envelope, which she used to buy groceries.
"Can we add one more? I'll make it." Wei Lin said this without looking at her, as if he were making a decision unilaterally, rather than asking a question.
Qi An looked at him quietly, her clear eyes filled with complex and vulnerable emotions. After a long while, she said, "You know, I'm actually very selfish..."
"So, are you going to invite me to dinner or not?" Wei Lin interrupted her self-deprecating words.
She was very selfish and manipulated them.
He held a grudge against her, but he also forgave her.
She's a little selfish, and that's not wrong.
She appears optimistic on the surface, but she must be very lonely and insecure inside.
If he were in her situation, he might not have been as patient as she was; he would have definitely made those irresponsible parents lose all face.
All she wanted was even the slightest bit of attention from her mother.
"good."
Qi An'an replied with a single word. Wei Lin handed her the paper bag in his hand and said, "This is your New Year's gift. I saw someone selling it on the roadside and just bought it."
Qi An'an looked at the logo on the bag, but didn't expose his lame excuse. She simply said, "Thank you."
It is a diamond necklace, with angel wings, and tiny diamonds sparkling with a holy radiance.
Although it's a bit cliché, when Wei Lin saw the brand's new themed necklace, the first person he thought of was her.
Qi An'an didn't know the exact price, but after accepting it, she said, "Then I'll also prepare a New Year's gift for you, and you'll have to accept it then."
"Mm." Wei Lin nodded, a smile spreading across his lips, and the tension in his heart instantly dissipated.
Qi An'an seemed to see warm sunlight radiating from him, and she smiled too, "What dishes can you cook?"
She had barely finished asking when there was another knock on the door.
"Huh, who is that?"
"I'll go open the door."
Wei Lin's smile gradually faded as he slowly opened the door.
"An'an, Xin—"
At the doorway, Mo Sinian's deep voice abruptly stopped, his expression becoming even colder.
One had a forced smile, the other's face was covered in ice; when their eyes met, it was as if icicles were colliding and shattering with a clang.
"I'm going to cook New Year's Eve dinner with An'an, what are you doing here?"
Wei Lin spoke first, a smile playing on his lips, but frost in his eyes.
Mo Sinian pushed him aside and squeezed in, saying, "I can cook."
Wei Lin replied firmly, "I don't need you."
Mo Sinian turned to the dumbfounded Qi An'an, his dark eyes deep and his tone earnest, "An'an, would you like to try my cooking?"
Qi An'an: "..."
I can't refuse even a little bit.
