Thinking of this, Qiao Yingzi took a deep breath and picked up her phone again with a determined look.

It's been two weeks since we last chatted. I wonder how you're doing? Have you returned to China yet?

Qiao Yingzi finally mustered up the courage to send the message.

the other side.

Xia Ze, who was lying on the table, really curious about where Xia Xue and Lin Miaomiao were, suddenly had his phone buzz.

He opened his phone and noticed a message from a netizen named "The Girl Who Dreams of Nanjing University".

Upon seeing that familiar name, Xia Ze almost forgot that he hadn't chatted with her for several weeks.

[I've missed you a lot these past few weeks, you little crybaby.] Xia Ze replied with a message.

Qiao Yingzi, who was pacing anxiously back and forth in the dormitory, heard the familiar special care notification tone and excitedly picked up her phone.

Upon seeing the above words, Qiao Yingzi's tense heart calmed down.

When Xia Xue and Lin Miaomiao saw that the other person had replied to their message, they rushed over immediately to see the contents of the phone.

"Little crybaby?"

The two men glanced at Qiao Yingzi with some surprise, and Qiao Yingzi couldn't help but blush when she noticed their gazes.

"This...this title!"

"No need to explain, we both understand." Without giving Qiao Yingzi a chance to explain, Xia Xue and Lin Miaomiao gave her an expression that said, "We understand you."

As for nicknames, that's normal; couples often have special nicknames for each other.

Seeing the misunderstanding between the two, Qiao Yingzi was both amused and exasperated.

This nickname "little crybaby" isn't a term of endearment between lovers; it's simply because she used to cry whenever she felt wronged.

That's why he calls himself a little crybaby, just like I always like to call him a big bad guy.

Seeing her best friend's oblivious descent into infatuation, Xia Xue quickly interrupted her from reminiscing about those beautiful memories.

"Let's not worry about the way he's addressed. Shouldn't we get him to the point? He hasn't said whether he's gone back to China or not."

"Oh right, he didn't seem to answer us." Lin Miaomiao stopped teasing Qiao Yingzi at this point, almost forgetting the important matter.

Qiao Yingzi sat back down on the bench, with Lin Miaomiao and Xia Xue standing behind her like two bodyguards.

[Wow! That's so cheesy! Oh, and you still haven't said whether you went back to China or not?]

Xia Ze saw the message on the other end of the phone and, having nothing to hide, told her.

I returned two weeks ago.

Upon receiving the news that Xia Ze had returned to China, Qiao Yingzi felt a strange sense of joy.

"Since he's in the country, let's ask him which city he's in," Xia Xue then instructed Qiao Yingzi.

That's great! Which city in the country are you from?

I'm in Kyoto.

Upon seeing this message, Qiao Yingzi's eyes widened slightly, and she was shocked for a moment.

Kyoto!

He's also in Kyoto. Is this fate?

If she was delighted just now, Qiao Yingzi's current mood can only be described as excitement.

He's in Kyoto too, so will I finally be able to see him? Thinking of this, Qiao Yingzi couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

However, Xia Xue, who was standing to the side, was a little dissatisfied. This person was also in Kyoto. Could it be that he was just making things up because he only knew that Yingzi was also in Kyoto?

“Yingzi, I remember you said he’s the same age as us. He should be studying now since he came back from abroad, unless he’s not doing well in school and has to drop out.”

Xiaoxue suddenly realized that if it were someone of the same age in China, that person would basically only have two paths.

One group consists of students like them, and the other group consists of those who have already entered the workforce. Regardless of which group they are in, they are probably all busy right now.

Chapter 43: One punch and I'll embed you in the south wall.

But the other party now has time to reply to messages.

This suggests that the other person is either taking a break from their busy schedule or is simply someone with nothing to do.

Another possibility is that he is indeed the same age as someone in high school, but he is a student who violated school rules by bringing a cell phone into the school.

That was Xia Xue's thought at that moment.

Anyway, she always thought the other person was not a good person, after all, how could a good person pick up female students online?

Moreover, he started hooking up with Yingzi from junior high school all the way to high school. What's worse is that he never asked her to meet in person; he just kept her hanging on online.

"Xiaoxue, aren't you being too decisive?" Lin Miaomiao pondered for a long time before understanding the meaning behind Xia Xue's words.

She had a different opinion. What if the other person really was a handsome and considerate high school boy?

There are people like that, aren't they? Her crush and deskmate Xia Ze is one of them.

Xia Xue rolled her eyes: "Not all boys are my brother."

Qiao Yingzi sat silently to the side, listening to the two talking. In fact, what they said made sense.

She already has some difficulty making decisions, and now she really doesn't know what to do.

Xia Xue could tell that Qiao Yingzi was in a bad mood.

She knew she shouldn't say anything more, but to prevent her best friend from being deceived, she had no choice but to play the bad guy.

"Yingzi, I know this person is your ideal man, but ideal men aren't necessarily good people."

Faced with Xiaoxue's comforting words, Qiao Yingzi naturally understood that her best friend was doing it for her own good.

“Actually, I don’t think it’s necessary to go through all that trouble. Since he’s in Kyoto anyway, why can’t we arrange to meet him?” Lin Miaomiao said from the side.

Why go through all that trouble? Wouldn't meeting once solve all the problems?

Once you meet them, you can tell whether they are an old man in the guise of a high school student or a real high school student of the same age.

If they are indeed high school students of the same age, then start by being friends, and gradually get to know each other in real life to see if they are worth getting to know better.

Upon hearing Lin Miaomiao's suggestion, Xia Xue and Qiao Yingzi exchanged an awkward glance. It was surprising that these two, who called themselves top students, had never even considered arranging to meet each other in real life.

"Um... if the other party really is a scammer, wouldn't it be safe for Yingzi to go see him?" Xia Xue's sense of security was quite good.

What should they do if, as girls, they arrange to meet someone, but the person turns out to be a bad guy or a scammer?

"We can arrange to meet him in a crowded place, and then we can observe him from behind without showing ourselves."

Lin Miaomiao really couldn't understand why Xia Xue and Qiao Yingzi, who were usually so smart, were acting so stupid at this moment.

It's not that the two of them are stupid, but rather that they can't compare to Lin Miaomiao when it comes to clever and quirky ideas.

"This is a good idea. We'll go with Yingzi then." Xia Xue really wanted to expose Ze's identity.

At the same time, I also wanted to make Qiao Yingzi realize that eight out of ten people on the internet are scammers.

Why not pursue the outstanding Xia Ze who is right beside you, instead of getting involved in an online romance with someone whose appearance and age you don't even know?

……

At this time, Xia Ze in the class was unaware of Qiao Yingzi and the others' decision.

Instead, she held her phone and waited silently for the little crybaby to reply.

After waiting for ages, I finally received the news.

Did you come to Kyoto because I'm in Kyoto?

Xia Ze was stunned when he saw the message.

When did this crybaby become so narcissistic?

In his memory, the little crybaby was a girl whose personality was sometimes strong and sometimes soft.

This is the first time she has ever made such a narcissistic statement.

Actually, this wasn't Qiao Yingzi's original intention; Xia Xue had asked her to send it to test Xia Ze.

If Xia Ze says yes, then it's certain he's a smooth talker.

[I never expected you, little crybaby, to be so narcissistic.] Xia Ze didn't answer directly.

"See! I told you he would say that," Qiao Yingzi said, spreading her hands, clearly knowing beforehand that Xia Ze would say that.

Xia Xue frowned in disbelief upon seeing this answer; it wasn't what she had imagined.

It's often said online that "scumbags" are particularly good at sweet talk.

Shouldn't he have said that he came to Kyoto for Yingzi's sake, since he was giving her points?

"I think he's playing hard to get." Xia Xue thought for a long time before finally coming to this conclusion.

This is a master.

He's definitely a master of romance, able to flirt with countless women without ever getting attached! He's truly mastered the art of playing hard to get.

"So what should we ask next?" Qiao Yingzi was completely at a loss for words.
