Tall sycamore trees are planted on both sides of a cement brick road at the Imperial Capital Normal University. The leaves of the sycamore trees are rustling at the moment, and occasionally small birds stand on the branches and hide under the leaves to cool off.

Under the sycamore trees, there were many students walking on the road. They were in groups of two or three, talking and laughing in a harmonious atmosphere. Some of them even held books and chatted about everything as they walked towards the dormitory building.

Qin Nianqing and Lin Yuexin walked side by side on this road. Qin Nianqing was holding Lin Yuexin's books in his hands. He wanted to help her move the books to her dormitory building.

Then I called Uncle Wu and went back to move my books back to the small apartment. Then I came to school again to familiarize myself with various places on campus so that it would be easier to find the classroom for class later, otherwise it would be terrible.

"Brother Nianqing, what does it feel like to be with Brother Qingji?" Lin Yuexin was holding two or three books, looking up at Qin Nianqing with gossip as she walked, with a gossipy smile on her lips, "Have you ever kissed?"

Qin Nian listened to Lin Yuexin's words, and felt his old face blush, his eyes shyly dodging. He changed the book in his arms to his left hand, raised his right hand and rubbed Lin Yuexin's head, "You are not tall, but you are quite gossipy. Don't ask about your brother's affairs casually."

“Tsk, Brother Nianqing, you are just shy,” Lin Yuexin pulled Qin Nianqing’s claws away and rescued her hair, then glared at him, “You messed up my hair.”

"Boss! Angel!"

Seeing this, Qin Nianqing was about to say something when he heard a clear male voice sounded not far from them. He was slightly stunned and looked over with Lin Yuexin who was also a little stunned.

As soon as they looked up, they saw Qi Xiangyang walking towards them with his arm around Zhang Ruchen's shoulder. Qi Xiangyang smiled wildly and flamboyantly, which attracted the attention of many girls in just a moment, but he himself did not notice it.

"Hey, isn't this your sweetheart?"

Qin Nianqing quickly came back to his senses, waved to the two of them, then turned his head to look at Lin Yuexin and said this in a teasing manner. Lin Yuexin's ears turned red when she heard it. She couldn't help but turned her head and glared at him, whispering, "Brother Nianqing, if you keep talking nonsense, I will be angry."

Seeing that Lin Yuexin was anxious, Qin Nianqing smiled and didn't continue talking to her. As soon as he raised his head, Qi Xiangyang, the stupid guy, hugged his shoulders.

"Boss, you are so miserable. You are in the same school with Lin Yuexin, a violent girl. I mourn for you for three seconds." Qi Xiangyang hugged Qin Nianqing's shoulders and looked at Lin Yuexin, who was dressed very ladylike, in amazement. "I really didn't expect that Lin Yuexin, a violent person, would look so real after dressing up."

"Qi Xiangyang, do you want to die?!"

Lin Yuexin was so angry when she heard what Qi Xiangyang said that she slapped his strong arm and wrinkled her pretty face in pain, "Qi Xiangyang, are you a stone? It hurts so much, I'm going to beat you to death."

"Hey! You hit me yourself, and now you blame me for the pain. Don't you know that force is mutual? I feel very wronged."

Qi Xiangyang saw Lin Yuexin holding up the thickest book among her books and hitting him, so he quickly jumped to the side. Seeing this, Lin Yuexin stuffed the books into Zhang Ruchen's arms and chased after him with the thickest book, "Asshole, you are still quibbling, stop and don't run, I will beat you to death today!"

"Do you think I'm a fool? If you tell me to stop, I'll stop. You can't hit me, little bastard! Come and chase me, little bastard!"

Qi Xiangyang turned back to tease Lin Yuexin while laughing and mocking her. Lin Yuexin became angry and chased after him fiercely. Qin Nianqing and Zhang Ruchen, who witnessed everything, looked at each other, then walked to the bench on the side of the road in tacit understanding, sat down and watched the show attentively.

Zhang Ruchen handed Qin Nianqing a handful of melon seeds, "Don't you think these two people are tired of fighting each other since they were young?"

Qin Nianqing took the melon seeds and cracked them casually, "Hey~ It's just a little trick played by a stinky couple. Didn't you see Xiangyang's sparkling eyes when he looked at Angel just now?"

Zhang Ruchen spat the melon seed shells into the tissue, sighed, and said speechlessly, "I think if he continues to be so childish and stupid, he will lose Sister Angel sooner or later, and he will give Sister Angel to his love rival with his own hands."

Qin Nianqing paused, looked back at him, and nodded without comment, "Don't tell me, Xiangyang is really capable of doing such a thing."

Zhang Ruchen sighed twice and said with emotion, "Brother Xiangyang is awesome. I really admire him."

Qi Xiangyang: "..." Although I don't know what you are talking about, I feel like you are scolding me.

Qi Xiangyang and Lin Yuexin quarreled for a while and finally felt tired. Qi Xiangyang stopped as if begging for mercy and let Lin Yuexin hit him a few times. Then he returned to the two people who were eating melon seeds and watching the show. Lin Yuexin also came over, panting, and it seemed that she was really tired from running just now.

"Hey, the young couple are not making trouble anymore?"

Seeing the two people standing in a row and breathing heavily, their movements were quite similar, Zhang Ruchen suddenly crossed his legs, smiled obscenely and said something. As soon as he said this, Lin Yuexin's face turned red. Qi Xiangyang looked at Lin Yuexin nervously for an instant, then reached out and pinched Zhang Ruchen's neck with a little annoyance.

"Chaochao, you little brat, what nonsense are you talking about!" Qi Xiangyang pinched Zhang Ruchen's neck and shook it hard, trying to make him shut up. He looked at Qin Nianqing and shouted, "Boss, look at this guy, doesn't he deserve a beating?"

Zhang Ruchen grabbed Qi Xiangyang's hand and said, "Brother Xiangyang, let me go. I'm suffocating."

Qin Nianqing calmly finished the last melon seed, then stuffed Lin Yuexin's book into Qi Xiangyang's arms, "I don't care about you so much, come, since you are here, help Angel carry the book back to the dormitory building, I still have to get my book back to the apartment to put it away, if you have nothing to do later, call Doudou and Yueyue, we will go have lunch together."

"Oh, okay." Qi Xiangyang let go of Zhang Ruchen, hugged the book Qin Nianqing stuffed over, glanced at Lin Yuexin unconsciously, and then said, "Boss, do you need my help to move the books or something?"

"No need. One of you can be in charge of delivering the books while the other can be in charge of calling people. When everyone is gathered, wait for me at the school gate. I'll be back after I put the books away."

Qin Nianqing waved to Qi Xiangyang, then turned and walked towards the classroom. Qi Xiangyang and the other two didn't say much. They waited until he was far away before doing what Qin Nianqing had said.

"Qi Xiangyang, you must protect my book. If even one corner of my book is damaged, I will skin you alive."

"Oh my god, auntie, I'm very careful, okay? Can you not be so mean to me? You're mean to me all day long. Be careful that you won't be able to get married."

"What did you say? Do you want a beating?!"

"How could that be?"

Qi Xiangyang and Lin Yuexin started quarreling again on the road. Zhang Ruchen, who was contacting Gu Qiyao and Zheng Zhiyue behind them, saw this and shook his head with a bit of amusement, "What a pair of happy enemies. They obviously had a good relationship when they were young. I remember it. It's really puzzling."

-

Qin Nianqing came out of the classroom holding a pile of books and walked down the stairs slowly and carefully. He had already called Uncle Wu, and Uncle Wu was on his way. He just had to wait at the school gate with the books.

Qin Nianqing was thinking about whether he should call Mu Qingji to tell him about his request to have lunch with Qi Xiangyang and the others. Just as he turned the corner, he accidentally bumped into someone's arms. He staggered and was supported by someone, and the book in his hand fell to the ground.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I didn't hurt you, did I?" Qin Nianqing ignored the mess of books on the ground and looked up at the person he bumped into. When he saw Lin Yu, he was stunned for a moment, then said, "Hey? It's you."

"Do you know me?"

Lin Yu didn't expect that he just came out of the office and was about to have lunch, but he met a reckless little guy at the corner of the teaching stairs. He was stunned unconsciously, and when he found that the other party seemed to know him, complex emotions surged in his heart.

"I know him. He was the second place winner in the Mathematical Olympiad." Qin Nianqing smiled politely at Lin Yu, then apologized to him a little embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you coming this way."

"No, I'm the one who's sorry."

Lin Yu didn't expect that Qin Nianqing still remembered him, and many emotions surged in his heart, but he tried hard to restrain himself. After apologizing to Qin Nianqing, he squatted down to help him pick up the book. Qin Nianqing also squatted down to pick up the book. The two were a little close. Qin Nianqing was purely picking up the book, but Lin Yu was different.

Qin Nianqing held the book in her arms and shook her head at Lin Yu, "No, no, I didn't hurt you, did I?"

"It's okay," Lin Yu shook his head, his words were full of calmness, but his heart was beating restlessly. After quickly picking up the books, he stood up and said, "Are you going to move these books to the dormitory or..."

"Ah, I'm moving back home," Qin Nianqing said calmly as he sorted out the books in his arms, "My family has a small apartment nearby, which is only a ten-minute drive from here, not far."

"Then shall I help you move to the school gate?"

Lin Yu nodded to Qin Nianqing, thought about it and finally asked the question. After listening, Qin Nian looked up at him and waved his hand, then reached out to take the book back from his arms with a polite smile on his face.

"No, no, I can do it myself. These are not too heavy." Qin Nianqing put the pile of books in order, looked at Lin Yu and said with a smile, "Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Qin Nianqing said this and turned to leave. Lin Yu looked at his back and before he could say anything, he saw Qin Nianqing turn around and walk towards him again. He put the book on the balcony temporarily, took out his cell phone and smiled at him.

"I almost forgot just now. I can't invite you to dinner without your contact information. Let's add WeChat."

Lin Yu looked at Qin Nianqing's calm expression and warm smile, and despised himself in his heart, but he still took out WeChat and added Qin Nianqing as a friend.

"I didn't do anything, so it's not nice to ask you to treat me to a meal. How about this? I'll help you move some books to the school gate, so that when you treat me to a meal, I won't feel guilty. What do you think?"

Lin Yu wanted to spend more time with the person he had liked for many years, even if it was just to walk together from the teaching building to the school gate. His little thoughts should not be exposed.

"That's fine too," Qin Nianqing thought for a moment, then nodded and stuffed half of his book into Lin Yu's arms, "Let's go, Lin Yu."

"Do you still remember my name?" Lin Yu didn't expect Qin Nianqing to even remember his name. He was stunned for a moment, "I thought you wouldn't remember me at all."

Qin Nianqing hugged her books and walked downstairs while saying, "How could that be? When we competed, there was only a five-point gap between you and me. You are a worthy opponent. We should compete with each other some other time when we have time."

"You recognized me on the balcony that day?" Lin Yu suddenly thought of Qin Nianqing who waved to him that day, and couldn't help asking, "Is that why you waved to me?"

"Yes, I'm very good at recognizing people, and you don't seem to have changed much since you were twelve years old, so you're easy to recognize."

"Really?" Lin Yu couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly when listening to Qin Nianqing's words, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Then I'm sorry for not surprising you the first time."

"Hahaha, what are you talking about?"

Qin Nianqing laughed out loud at Lin Yu's words. Lin Yu looked at his smiling face and his mood became very good. The two walked and chatted along the way. Qin Nianqing even had a feeling that he regretted meeting each other too late. This feeling of finding a confidant was the second time he experienced it. The first time, of course, came from his brother Mu Qingji.

After saying goodbye to Qin Nianqing, Lin Yu went to the cafeteria. Xu Qi and Zhang Jiang, who were waiting for him to eat in the cafeteria, found it very strange that he had just come and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Lin Yu, did you find five million? Why do you look so happy?"

Seeing Lin Yu sitting down, Zhang Jiang couldn't help but teasing him. Lin Yu ignored him and took out his mobile phone. He looked at Qin Nianqing's avatar on the WeChat chat interface. He felt that the avatar looked familiar, so he clicked on it immediately. Then he saw the picture of the young boy Mu Qingji lifting the little boy Qin Nianqing. The two looked at each other, which made him feel complicated.

"Shut up and leave if you want to eat."

Lin Yu turned off his phone and put it on the table. His good mood disappeared in an instant. He shouldn't have clicked on it and ruined his perfect mood.

Is this the legendary gap between reality and fantasy? Lin Yu sighed in his heart. It was probably true, but it seemed not bad to be able to be friends with him and see him happy.

What else could he do? Compete with Mu Qingji for her? He was not stupid. Not to mention whether he could get her over the top, even if the other party moved a finger, he could crush his whole family to death. He was a secret admirer, not a retard.

Xu Qi and Zhang Jiang were surprised when they saw Lin Yu's moody expression. This guy is still as moody as ever.
