Chapter 41
The end of June is a time for learning.
Normally, Ren Qiao'an wouldn't go to the library during review week; after all, it was hard to find a seat at the library during that time. But these past few days, Ren Qiao'an couldn't concentrate on his studies, relying on the library's sacred atmosphere to "force" himself to study without any hesitation.
The only benefit of anxiety is waking up early. Ren Qiao'an, already unable to sleep, arrived early to secure a seat in the library. He chose a window seat, where the sun was still mild and the curtains were unnecessary. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see a small milk tea shop next to the library. It wasn't open yet, but around 9 or 10 a.m., students who hadn't secured a table would flock to it. Ordering a drink and settling in for a few hours, quietly studying or reading a book, was a great option.
This small shop is also the place where Ren Qiao'an and Gui Qulaixie agreed to meet a girl.
"Huh..." Ren Qiao'an sighed softly. She thought that she would not keep the appointment.
The library gradually became bustling with activity, and the seat Ren Qiao'an had chosen seemed less "popular." After a while, Ren Qiao'an vaguely sensed that the desk across from him had also been occupied.
"Tsk, Ren Qiao'an, it's so hot, why don't you choose a seat by the window." Wu Nianzhi, who arrived late, came to the library and saw Ren Qiao'an who came out early in the morning, so she got a seat with a good view.
"Where are the two of them?" Ren Qiao'an glanced at Wu Nianzhi, lowered his head and continued studying.
"Still in the cafeteria." Wu Nianzhi pulled out a chair and sat down next to Ren Qiao'an. She was surprised by the two figures slowly approaching in front of her. Wu Nianzhi subconsciously glanced at Ren Qiao'an. Obviously, the other party didn't notice, but someone seemed to be more "surprised" than her.
It seems that it is not just a single arrow.
"Wow, we finally found you." Yan Yiyi and Qian Baoer arrived late.
Ren Qiao'an was still absorbed in her studies, completely oblivious to what was happening. It wasn't until she glanced up that she realized something was amiss. Why was Jin Xi sitting across from them?! With her boyfriend?!
What is going on? !
Ren Qiao'an stared at Jin Xi closely, as if trying to find the slightest trace of the image of Gui Qu Lai Xi that matched her imagination. Perhaps because Ren Qiao'an was looking too hard, Jin Xi also raised her eyes, and the two pairs of eyes looked at each other, and then separated immediately.
"..." It was Jin Xi who lowered her head first. Although it was only briefly, Ren Qiao'an saw the panic in Jin Xi's eyes. In that instant, Ren Qiao'an seemed to understand something, and something suddenly became clear. It turned out... someone had known this for a long time.
Ren Qiao'an glanced at Gao Yu again. Haha, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. So what did Jin Xi take her for?
"Nianzhi, can I ask you a question?" Tang Mu appeared behind Ren Qiao'an and the others at some point and patted Wu Nianzhi on the shoulder.
"Ah, there are still questions that you, Tang Mu, don't know how to answer?" Yan Yiyi expressed her surprise. Tang Mu is a well-known college bully in their college.
"..." Wu Nianzhi frowned. She knew what Tang Mu was trying to do even if she used her toes to think about it.
"I can't compare to Nianzhi in terms of big things. She was the only expert who got a perfect score last semester."
Well, it seems that's the case. Having said that, how could Wu Nianzhi refuse? "What's the topic?"
Tang Mu leaned over and pushed the problem set in front of Wu Nianzhi, briefly explaining his confusion. Wu Nianzhi took a look and realized it wasn't a simple problem. However, it didn't seem particularly difficult either. Wu Nianzhi had a general idea, and she was pondering Tang Mu's true purpose.
"Qiao An, could you please sit in my seat for a while? Nianzhi and I may need to discuss this for a while."
"..." Ren Qiao'an looked at Wu Nianzhi in confusion. If he asked her to go to Tang Mu's seat, wouldn't that mean she would sit next to Jin Xi?
Well, that's exactly what happened. Under normal circumstances, Wu Nianzhi would definitely not agree with Tang Mu. "Right, Ren Qiao'an, this question is a bit difficult. We need to discuss it for a while. You should go over and sit for a while so as not to disturb your review."
“…Okay.” Ren Qiao’an responded softly. No one noticed the depth in Ren Qiao’an’s eyes. Only Ren Qiao’an herself knew that the dark emotions in her heart were spreading and growing uncontrollably.
After successfully sending Ren Qiao'an away, Wu Nianzhi didn't want to be hypocritical with Tang Mu, "What do you want?"
"Whatever you want is what I want." Tang Mu sat in Ren Qiao'an's seat and closed the distance between him and Wu Nianzhi. The two of them put their heads together intimately, as if they were really discussing a problem.
In fact, the two of them were indeed solving the problem seriously, but they were "plotting" in a low voice while discussing the problem, "Uh, you are not trying to bring them together, are you?" Wu Nianzhi could not have imagined that Tang Mu also had a heart of a matchmaker.
Tang Mu raised an eyebrow, "Don't you think they are a good match?"
“…But Jinxi has…” Wu Nianzhi had thought so before, but when her current boyfriend suddenly appeared, Wu Nianzhi felt that the two of them were no longer suitable.
"Haha." Tang Mu chuckled and motioned Wu Nianzhi to look at Gao Yu, "Look."
Following Tang Mu's gaze, Wu Nianzhi met Gao Yu's gaze. Gao Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled at the two of them, somewhat meaningfully. Then he went out with his mobile phone, as if he had received some important news.
"..." Wu Nianzhi seemed to understand something. No way, she looked at Tang Mu in disbelief, "The two of them?" Are they still a fake couple?
Tang Mu did not give a direct answer, but just smiled. She was not familiar with Gao Yu, but Tang Mu had seen how Gao Yu and Jin Xi got along with each other. These two people seemed to be a perfect match, but in fact there was no spark at all.
Ren Qiao'an and Jin Xi were feeling extremely "awkward" at the moment, and they were not as "harmonious and friendly" as Wu Nianzhi and Tang Mu.
Jin Xi had originally adhered to the strategic principle of "I won't move unless the enemy moves," intending to remain silent until Wu Nianzhi and Tang Mu finished their discussion. But after waiting and waiting, they didn't finish, and Gao Yu left instead? God knew how much Jin Xi wanted to escape.
Jin Xi sensed a dangerous aura. Ren Qiaoyuan was surrounded by low pressure!
"Scum."
"Hmm?" Jin Xi responded subconsciously, feeling uneasy while pretending to read seriously.
"..." Her pretty face looked a little dull at the moment. Using a math book to solve physics problems was really silly. Ren Qiao'an curled his lips and asked, "Where's your boyfriend?"
"Hmm?" Why was Ren Qiao'an smiling so gently? She was clearly feeling quite depressed just now. Jin Xi was confused. Boyfriend? Who? Suddenly, Jin Xi realized, "Oh, Gao Yu, what's wrong?"
"I heard that he is very good at studying. I want to ask him a question." Ren Qiao'an said with a smile.
Jin Xi suddenly felt that Ren Qiao'an's smile was a bit dazzling. What was the expectation that was about to overflow in Ren Qiao'an's eyes? Jin Xi frowned unconsciously. When did Ren Qiao'an know Gao Yu? Were they familiar with each other? "What's the topic?"
"English questions." Ren Qiao'an picked up her homework book and gestured. God knows how much information she secretly knew about Gao Yu. Very good, a talented man and a beautiful woman, they are well-matched, a perfect match!
"Let me see." Jin Xi grabbed the notebook and asked, "Which question?"
"..." In that case, Ren Qiaoan stood up, walked behind Jin Xi, bent down, and supported himself on the table with one hand, holding Jin Xi in his arms at the most ambiguous distance. "For this question, I don't quite understand why the answer is C. I think A will also work."
!!!
The warmth and tingling sensation in her ears made Jin Xi's mind go blank. Jin Xi had always known that she could not resist Ren Qiao'an's scent, and she even naturally liked it. But, but, why did he have to get so close to ask a question?
"Wait, let me take a look." Jin Xi couldn't think about the question anymore. She just wanted to escape from Ren Qiao'an's arms! "How about you ask Tang…" Mu. Before she could finish her words, Jin Xi realized that the people across from her had disappeared. Not only Tang Mu and Wu Nianzhi, but even Yan Yiyi and Qian Baoer had vanished?! Jin Xi had no choice but to continue studying the questions. The questions weren't difficult, and Jin Xi stammered to explain them.
"Return home..."
"What?" Jin Xi, who was concentrating on solving a problem, heard something. Did she hear Ren Qiao'an calling her online name? What did Ren Qiao'an mean by this? Jin Xi's heartbeat quickened, and she turned around and asked, "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Ren Qiao'an stood up straight and looked down at Jin Xi. "I just suddenly remembered Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Countryside."
After leaving Ren Qiao'an's "confinement", Jin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still beating fast. She didn't know what Ren Qiao'an wanted to say.
Compared to Jin Xi's seriousness, Ren Qiao'an's expression was relaxed, even a little smiling. "Oh, right, another line from Tao Yuanming's poem suddenly popped into my mind."
Suddenly, Jin Xi seemed to understand what Ren Qiao'an wanted to say, but she was afraid. She was not even prepared. "What?"
Ren Qiaoan looked into Jinxi's eyes and said calmly, "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, I leisurely see the southern mountains."
"..." Why, Jin Xi didn't understand Ren Qiao'an. Why did he suddenly tear off the last disguise between the two of them? Without this layer of veil, how would Jin Xi face Ren Qiao'an in the future? "What... do you mean?" Jin Xi was still making her final "struggle". "Why did you suddenly think of this... Haha."
Ren Qiao'an just looked at Jin Xi quietly, then she sighed softly. Ren Qiao'an decided not to give each other the chance to pretend to be stupid anymore.
Ren Qiaoan bent down and said softly, "Remember to keep your appointment this weekend, my dear couple."
She didn't want to guess or beat around the bush anymore.
If it is impossible for two people to love each other, then please end the relationship as soon as possible and end it clearly.
This was Ren Qiao'an's revenge with a bad taste, and also Ren Qiao'an's attempt to put the final "period" on the relationship between the two.
