"Hmph, how boring!" Jiang Jiahan glared at Lin Chen, turned and left, leaving Lin Chen standing there in a daze.
...
After calming down a bit, Lin Chen decided to go to the library of Haizhou University. As one of the top universities in China, Haizhou University's library not only has a rich collection of books, but also first-class facilities.
Lin Chen still had many questions in his mind, and he hoped to find the answers in this sea of books. So, he selected several books about music and stood by the bookshelf to study them carefully.
This was perhaps the least crowded place in the library, utterly silent except for the sound of Lin Chen turning the pages. He was so engrossed in the world of books that he forgot the passage of time.
Although he has already made considerable achievements in composing, he still needs to practice playing the piano continuously, and improving his academic studies is even more urgent.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang, breaking the tranquility of the library. All eyes turned to him, and Lin Chen quickly gave an apologetic look. Just then, he noticed that the girl sitting not far from him was incredibly beautiful.
Her beautiful hair was casually tied back, and she wore gorgeous but slightly flamboyant clothes. Her snow-white skin was even more dazzling in the sunlight, and her heroic and dashing temperament was impossible to ignore.
It's Yang Mei-hee again!
To his even greater surprise, sitting next to her was a little girl who looked even more childlike than her—his good roommate, the "Rampaging Lolita" Jin Songzhu!
The name Yang Meixi evoked mixed feelings in Lin Chen's heart. Not long ago, he had had a "close encounter" with Yang Meixi's second older sister, even touching her feet and ankles. Lin Chen wasn't surprised by Yang Meixi's existence, but what surprised him was why Jin Songzhu was sitting next to her!
How could these two girls with such different personalities have gotten together? Lin Chen was filled with doubt. Every time he saw Yang Meixi with another girl, he felt a pang of anxiety. First Lin Ruoyue, then Ning Jiaqi, and now Jin Songzhu…
Is this "lace little witch" planning to "turn every girl she meets gay"?
The thought of Jin Songzhu living so calmly in the boys' dormitory filled Lin Chen with an ominous premonition. Could it be... she's already...?
No! He absolutely cannot allow this to happen!
However, since he was in the library, it wasn't appropriate for him to directly cause trouble for Yang Meixi. So, he could only take his phone and leave the library to answer the call.
"Jiaqi, I was at the library just now and it wasn't convenient for me to answer the phone," Lin Chen explained. Ning Jiaqi's slightly reproachful voice came from the other end of the line.
"Oh, the library? I was just about to go there too," Ning Jiaqi said softly.
"That's great! Come quickly, I have something important to ask you!" Lin Chen said eagerly.
He waited outside for nearly half an hour, but still didn't see Ning Jiaqi. Just as Lin Chen was about to call and ask, Ning Jiaqi finally appeared in his sight from around a corner.
"I'm sorry, Master, I've kept you a little late. You're not angry, are you?" Ning Jiaqi pouted slightly, her watery eyes looking at Lin Chen, her words full of apology.
"What did you call me?" Lin Chen asked, seizing the opportunity, not intending to let it slip away easily.
Ning Jiaqi rolled her eyes at Lin Chen, seemingly having already seen through his little scheme. She glanced around to make sure no one was nearby before speaking, "Master! What's wrong?"
Lin Chen suddenly felt something was off. Although he and Ning Jiaqi hadn't officially confirmed their relationship, the way they addressed each other as master and disciple still made him feel strange. Ning Jiaqi seemed to sense Lin Chen's thoughts as well, chuckled, and said, "What's wrong? Do you really want me to call you 'darling'? Hmph, dream on!"
"Isn't that just a matter of time?" Lin Chen joked.
"Sooner or later, my foot! Master, I think it's better if we address each other as master and disciple," Ning Jiaqi said earnestly.
Lin Chen put those aside for the time being; he was eager to know about Yang Meixi and Jin Songzhu.
"Jin Songzhu? You mean that cute little girl?" Ning Jiaqi obviously knew her too. "I've heard Meixi mention her. What, are you close to her?"
Are we that close? Lin Chen didn't know how to answer. Anyway, they slept almost side-by-side every night, no more than thirty centimeters apart…
"Jiaqi, just a friendly reminder. You'd better not get too close to Yang Meixi." Lin Chen genuinely couldn't imagine Ning Jiaqi being "turned gay" by Yang Meixi. If it really happened, he swore he would settle the score with Yang Meixi!
Ning Jiaqi's big eyes darted around, and she asked with a mischievous glint in her eyes, "Why? By the way, what's the relationship between my handsome master and Meixi? How did you two meet?"
How should Lin Chen explain this? Should he tell Ning Jiaqi that Yang Meixi is his "soon-to-be brother-in-law"?
"In short, you better stay away from her, you hear me?" Lin Chen's tone was unquestionable.
"Hmph, I won't!" Ning Jiaqi's stubbornness flared up, her cheeks puffing out slightly, making her look exceptionally cute. "By the way, Meixi has been getting so close to that little loli named Jin Songzhu lately, and she hardly talks to me anymore! I'm so jealous! No way, I have to get my Meixi back!"
"Jealousy..." Lin Chen felt a buzzing in his head, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Had he stopped her too late? Yang Meixi had acted far too quickly!
"Forget about them for now." Ning Jiaqi changed the subject, a sly glint in her eyes. "Master, do you know why I called you out here?"
Lin Chen was still agonizing over the "jealousy" and muttered to himself.
"Hey! Are you stupid?! Master, what did you promise me in the first place? I've been calling you Master for so long, you should at least teach me a thing or two, right?"
So that's what Ning Jiaqi was referring to!
Lin Chen didn't mean he didn't want to teach Ning Jiaqi his mysterious qigong; it's just that he learned it himself in a daze and had no idea how to teach it to others.
But that didn't stop him from making a big promise to Ning Jiaqi. So Lin Chen said mysteriously, "Jiaqi, it's not impossible for me to teach you Qigong, but you have to agree to one condition."
"Stay away from Yang Meixi, huh?" Ning Jiaqi pouted, seemingly having already seen through Lin Chen's thoughts.
"As expected of our Princess Ning! So clever!" Lin Chen chuckled, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"I'm also puzzled. I could barely understand you telling me to stay away from a man. But Meixi is my best friend and roommate. Why should I stay away from her? Are you alright, Master?" Ning Jiaqi stared wide-eyed at Lin Chen with an innocent look on her face.
Looking into Ning Jiaqi's pure and innocent eyes, Lin Chen really couldn't tell she was lying. He sighed and explained, "What I mean is, you should stay away from Yang Meixi and Jin Songzhu. They're both troublemakers!"
