"I'm not so sure about that."
“You know, Xinghe is an excellent student. He was first in the grade in the last midterm exam, but the second place was only three points behind him.”
"Teacher Qin, your coffee... So, what does Teacher Qin mean by this?"
"I hope you two will date, but don't let it affect your studies."
"Teacher Qin, I don't understand whether this is your idea or the school's idea."
"The dean asked me to find out why Xinghe's studies have declined, so I came to find you."
"Teacher Qin, you and Xinghe are friends in private. Do you think our relationship is affecting our studies?"
"There might be some, for example, missing several classes."
"But he's still number one in the grade, Ms. Qin. Although he might not be as dazzling as he was in high school, I don't want him to be so stressed. In high school, he was just a study machine, you know?"
"But since he has a talent for learning, he shouldn't waste that talent, should he?"
"If someone gets first place in the grade but is considered to have regressed because the score difference with the second-place student is too small, then I have nothing to say."
"Liu, I may have been a bit too harsh just now. Let's calm down first." Qin Xueying's tone softened.
"Teacher Qin, let's wait for Xinghe to arrive before we talk about it."
When Wang Xinghe rushed back, he saw the two sitting face to face, neither of them speaking. One was looking at his phone, and the other was looking out the window.
"Sister Xueying, is there something you need from Mengmeng?"
"Do you remember what I said when you asked for leave last time? You can't take leave again this semester."
"Sister Xueying, I really have something to do today. I thought I could make it back to class, but I didn't. I'll go to class now."
Wang Xinghe glanced at the time and realized that class had already been going on for an hour.
"You're an hour late, sit down first."
"Excuse me, Sister Xueying, a friend of mine is going abroad to study today, and I'm seeing her off."
Qin Xueying glanced at Liu Qingmeng and found that Liu Qingmeng was engrossed in playing on her phone and didn't look up.
Do you know why I came to see you today?
"Sister Xueying, just tell me directly."
“Your studies have slipped, and you’re frequently taking leave; you even skipped class today.”
"Sister Xueying, I know I may have been a bit busy lately, but I've always been able to keep up with my studies. However, now that I'm in university, I want more than just academics. Nevertheless, I will study hard and live up to your expectations."
"Alright then, I hope you can keep your word. You can come to me to catch up on the lessons you've missed."
"Okay, if I have any questions, I will definitely ask Sister Xueying for help."
"Then I'll be going now. Just one more thing, don't let dating affect your studies."
"Tch! You say dating affects studies? You make it sound so serious." After Qin Xueying left, Liu Qingmeng repeated the same thing in a sarcastic tone.
"Alright, Mengmeng, let's go back. Sister Xueying is only thinking of me."
"So you mean she's right, our relationship is affecting your studies, right?"
"No, how could that be? With Mengmeng by my side, I'll definitely study even harder and earn lots and lots of money to support my wife!"
"What did you just call me?"
"It's Mengmeng."
"Oh no, no, what did you mean by 'what am I to you' at the end?"
"I said I need to make money to support my wife."
"Then who is your wife?"
"My wife is my wife."
"Tell me! Who's your wife? If you don't tell me, I'm going to get angry!"
"Mengmeng, Mengmeng is my wife."
"Then call me."
"What did I call you?"
"Wang Xinghe! Stop pretending to be stupid, shout it out!"
"Wife."
"Hehe, let's go back then, boyfriend."
"I've called you my wife, so you should call me your boyfriend."
"Of course! You're my boyfriend now. You haven't confessed your feelings to me, let alone proposed. Calling you my boyfriend is giving you more face, okay?"
"Yes, yes, let's go back first."
"By the way, you sent your Luo Xi away?"
"Yes, Wu Luoxi is gone."
"Didn't you hug me?"
Seeing Wang Xinghe's hesitant expression, Liu Qingmeng pinched his arm.
"She's already gone, am I that petty? Did I even hug her?"
I gave him a gentle hug.
"Okay! Hug me again! Hug me again!"
"I was wrong, Mengmeng, I know I was wrong."
"Tch, you jerk! Go home and wash your clothes properly, okay? Otherwise, I'll make you take them off in front of everyone and throw them in the trash."
"Then the news will definitely be about some male college student running naked at Kyoto University. I'll never be able to face anyone again."
"That's perfect, I'll keep you as a caged bird and make you my canary!"
Are there any male canaries?
"Of course I have one. I'll feel at ease if I keep you at home."
As New Year's Day approached, Liu Qingmeng discussed with Wang Xinghe whether they should spend New Year's Eve with Xia Shishi and the others.
"Have you and Shishi already made up your minds?"
"Oh, wouldn't it be more lively with more people? It would be great if the four of us could be together, all in pairs! Let's go together. Shishi and I spend New Year's Eve together every year, we're used to it."
"Okay, okay, it's perfect since we're all acquaintances. I haven't seen Rongxu much since I went to university."
"Okay, it's settled then. Where should we go to celebrate New Year's Eve?"
"Just let me know the location in advance if you decide."
"OK, then I'll discuss it with Shishi."
"So, so, Mengmeng, does Wang, the top student, agree to go together?"
What do you think?
"Okay, then we besties have to part ways. I'll miss you, Mengmeng." Xia Shishi sobbed and prepared to snuggle into Liu Qingmeng's arms.
"Shishi, did I say he was unwilling?"
"He agreed? Wang, the top student, agreed! That's great!"
"Of course! With me in charge, would he dare to disagree? What about your partner?"
"Same here. If I ask, would he dare to disagree? He's away playing in a competition lately, so we only see each other once in a long while."
"Then go see him, go watch his game."
"He didn't invite me, so why should I go?"
"You're just being stubborn. Boys who play basketball are the most popular. Just imagine, after a game, several girls bring him water, plus the admiring looks they give him, tsk tsk tsk."
"Oh! Mengmeng, stop talking! I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it!"
"Now that you're together, don't be so shy. You can take the initiative."
"I understand, Mengmeng."
"Don't be shy, I know that whenever there's a live broadcast of a match, someone always turns it on in advance to watch it."
"Oh dear, Mengmeng, stop talking! It's so embarrassing."
