She knew Qin Xuan wouldn't tell the truth and was about to give up when Qin Xuan suddenly spoke again.
"Actually, it's because I already knew your true identity at that time."
Not long after he transferred to No. 1 Middle School, Ye Qian told him that his long-lost sister had been found.
He knew from a young age that Ye Qian had a younger sister who had been missing for many years, and Ye Qian had always been bothered by this, showing him many photos of Ye Zhizhou when he was a child.
Ye Zhizhou was taken aback; so that's how it is.
"At the time, I didn't know we were engaged; I just treated you like my best friend's sister."
Seeing that she was still lost in thought, Qin Xuan continued slowly.
"From now on, I'm going to treat you seriously as my fiancée."
Ye Zhizhou's eyes were full of surprise, and her heart was beating fast. She had to admit that she, an old auntie who was just a cannon fodder female supporting character, was tempted!
"But we're still young, how about we wait until we graduate from university?"
Ye Zhizhou silently told herself to stay calm. Qin Xuan had only just turned eighteen; she couldn't be so heartless!
Qin Xuan smiled faintly, "If we're going to get married, then at least a college degree is required."
Ye Zhizhou: ? ? ?
"We haven't even dated yet, and we're getting married already?" she muttered. Everyone else goes from acquaintance to dating, but she's going straight to marriage. Isn't that inappropriate?
Qin Xuan pretended to think for a moment, then after the college entrance examination, would you be willing to be my girlfriend?
Ye Zhizhou felt a chill run down her spine; Boss Qin was confessing his love to her!
"Miss, Creamy's cat bed is cleaned."
Zhang Ma's voice rang out from the doorway.
Qin Xuan frowned, thinking to himself that Zhang Ma had come at the wrong time.
Ye Zhizhou didn't have time to answer Qin Xuan's question. He first opened the door for Zhang Ma, brought in the cat bed, and put it on the floor for Cream.
Standing at the door, Zhang Ma suddenly felt Qin Xuan's gaze turn cold. Her neck trembled, and without saying a word, she closed the door and left.
"You haven't answered me yet." Qin Xuan's gaze locked onto Ye Zhizhou.
Ye Zhizhou paused, his fists clenched. "Why do you like me?"
Qin Xuan smiled and said, "I don't know what 'like' means, but my fiancée can only be you."
Is this how a master confesses their love? It's so incredibly amazing!
"How about we grab some barbecue with your future girlfriend?"
Qin Xuan maintained her smile, "...Okay."
Ye Zhizhou exhaled, her face already burning red. She thought to herself that she was useless. How could a dignified supporting female character fall for a mere young man?
Half an hour later, the two of them appeared at a barbecue restaurant in the city. Not only the two of them, but also Lin Qiqi and Lu Qing were there.
After school, Lin Qiqi found that Ye Zhizhou was not there. She sent him a message and found out that they were going to eat barbecue at this restaurant. Without thinking much about it, she came over to freeload.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Lu Qing at the school gate. She and Lu Qing hadn't spoken much since returning from the hot spring resort, but Lu Qing insisted on following her there.
"Lu Qing, why did you come?" Lin Qiqi looked at Lu Qing sitting opposite her and couldn't stand the sight of him.
Lu Qing stared with wide eyes, "Why can't I come? Sister Zhou and Qin Xuan have no objections."
Ye Zhizhou had no objections, but Qin Xuan had a lot to say. He had just confessed his feelings and hadn't even had half an hour alone with Ye Zhizhou.
However, seeing that Ye Zhizhou was happy, he didn't make a scene.
"Qiqi, don't be angry. Barbecue is all about having lots of people. Hurry up and order. I've already ordered everything I want."
Ye Zhizhou had been craving barbecue for a long time but never had the chance to eat it, so he took the day off today.
Actually, she felt it was a bit difficult to be alone with Qin Xuan, but it wasn't because she was shy. Shyness was something that absolutely didn't apply to her. She was just afraid that she wouldn't be able to control herself and would make a move on the future mathematics professional.
She might then be recorded in the history of mathematics: a mathematical genius whose studies were ruined by the misfortune of Ye Zhizhou.
Lin Qiqi was angry as she ordered food, and Lu Qing deliberately ordered the same things as her, which successfully angered Lin Qiqi.
Because it was a weekday, the restaurant wasn't very crowded, and the dishes were served quickly.
Ye Zhizhou picked up the tongs to grill the meat, but Qin Xuan took the tongs from her hand and said, "I'll grill it, you just eat it."
Ye Zhizhou pursed his lips and nodded.
Lin Qiqi and Lu Qing continued to sulk, sitting in their seats glaring at each other.
"This piece isn't fully cooked yet, please wait a little longer."
While the two of them were sulking, Qin Xuan had already put the grilled meat into Ye Zhizhou's plate, while the raw meat continued to grill on top.
After a while, they realized that Qin Xuan had given all the meat on the plate to Ye Zhizhou!
"Qin Xuan, why aren't you serving me any food? Are we still brothers?" Lu Qing questioned Qin Xuan, holding up his chopsticks and looking at the empty baking tray.
Qin Xuan remained calm and composed, saying, "Xiao Zhou likes to eat it, so if you want to eat it, you can grill it yourself."
Lu Qing: ? ? ?
So love can disappear, right? Oh, he forgot, Qin Xuan didn't love him at all!
Ye Zhizhou then realized that she had eaten all the meat that Qin Xuan had grilled. She had been playing on her phone while Qin Xuan fed her, and she thought he had put some on everyone's plate.
"Order a few more plates of meat for you and Qiqi."
She called the waiter over and ordered three more plates of meat for Lin Qiqi and Lu Qing.
Lu Qing didn't have time to argue with Lin Qiqi. He quickly put the meat on the plate to grill. When it was done, he was about to put some in his own bowl when he saw that Lin Qiqi hadn't eaten much, so he put the first piece of meat in Lin Qiqi's bowl.
"Just eat it as is, as long as it's cooked through."
Looking at the meat in the bowl, Lin Qiqi suddenly felt that Lu Qing wasn't so bad after all.
After finishing the barbecue, Ye Zhizhou wanted some ice cream, so Qin Xuan got up and went with her to buy some.
“Lin Qiqi, there’s something fishy going on between them,” Lu Qing said confidently. “If last time it was just the beginning, this time it’s definitely solid evidence.”
Lin Qiqi agreed with him, "Absolutely, it's a woman's intuition."
A short while later, Ye Zhizhou returned with two durian-flavored ice creams, one for her and one for Qin Xuan.
While enjoying his meal, Ye Zhizhou suddenly noticed a flash of light and covered his face with his hand.
Qin Xuan looked over and saw two girls, about the same age as him, taking pictures of him. Even after being discovered, they didn't stop.
He walked straight over.
"Please delete the photos you just saw."
The two girls, who were also high school students, thought Qin Xuan was so handsome that they couldn't help but want to take a picture of him.
When Qin Xuan discovered them, they didn't think they had done anything wrong.
"I took pictures of the mall to show my friends, why should I delete them? It's not like I took them specifically for you guys."
The woman taking the photos was very confident.
Ye Zhizhou frowned, threw the ice cream into the trash can, and walked towards the two girls.
"They were shoving the flash in my face, and you still claim it's filming a shopping mall? Can't you use your brain?"
Ye Zhizhou didn't hold back at all. She was in a good mood because she was eating ice cream, but this sudden revelation ruined it. If she didn't speak up, she would become depressed.
