You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Hearing this, Jiang Che smiled helplessly and reached out to poke her head.

"What, you're going to go to the library on a date just because she's going? Are you some kind of elementary school genius?"

Su Qinghe gently nuzzled her head against Jiang Che's palm, and asked him in a very coquettish and soft tone, "Is it not allowed?"

"Sure, sure, it's just a date at the library, what's wrong with that?" Jiang Che shrugged.

Su Qinghe then smiled contentedly and skipped up to her bedroom.

Halfway down the stairs, she suddenly remembered something, stopped, turned around, and looked down at Jiang Che.

"Ah Che, you still haven't answered my question. What should I wear tomorrow?"

Jiang Che followed Su Qinghe upstairs, replying as they went, "It's just going to the library, anything will do, right?"

"no."

Su Qinghe shook her head seriously, then counted on her fingers and said earnestly, "This is our first date at school. It's different from going to class, so of course we have to dress up nicely."

Jiang Che was both amused and exasperated.

This girl would turn her wardrobe upside down for anything related to the word "date".

"How about I wear a little dress tomorrow? You know I really like wearing little dresses." Su Qinghe blinked, seeking his opinion. "And for the clothes, I can just wear any jacket with it, um... wouldn't that be too casual?"

"No, it looks great."

Jiang Che's answer was quite formulaic.

Because he knew very well that giving any specific advice at this time would be tantamount to suicide.

When a woman asks you "Does it look good?", what she really wants is not your opinion, but your approval.

"Then it's settled!"

Su Qinghe clapped her hands happily, then seemed to remember something, quickly walked down the stairs to the shoe cabinet, squatted down and started rummaging through it.

"So, which shoes should I wear tomorrow? White sneakers? Or these loafers?"

Jiang Che followed her to the entrance and stood behind her.

Seeing his girlfriend squatting on the ground, looking at the shoe cabinet with a troubled expression, his tough guy heart instantly softened and filled with pink bubbles.

How can she be so cute?

"Ah Che, what are you thinking about?"

Su Qinghe looked up and found Jiang Che staring at her blankly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"It's nothing."

Jiang Che stepped forward and reached out to rub her head: "I was just thinking, how can my girlfriend be so cute?"

"Hehe, you should be secretly happy to have such a cute girlfriend."

Su Qinghe narrowed her eyes, thoroughly enjoying Jiang Che's touch.

She finally settled on a pair of white canvas shoes, then stood up and patted the wrinkles on her skirt.

"Let's go upstairs and pick out some clothes!"

Su Qinghe grabbed Jiang Che's hand and ran up to the second-floor bedroom. After pushing open the door to the walk-in closet, she slipped inside.

For the next half hour, Jiang Che sat on the edge of the bed, watching Su Qinghe go in and out of the dressing room.

One moment she'd come out holding a cream-colored pleated skirt and ask him if it looked good, the next she'd come out wearing a light blue knitted cardigan and ask him if it matched.

Jiang Che's answer was always just two words—"Beautiful."

Because it really does look good.

This girl has a face that looks like it's been blessed by God; she looks good in anything, and even if she came out wearing a burlap sack, he would genuinely say, "Absolutely stunning."

In the end, Su Qinghe settled on a beige A-line mini skirt, paired with a slightly loose white thin sweater.

The outfit is simple, but its strength lies in its clean and refreshing look.

"I'll wear this tomorrow."

Su Qinghe hung the clothes neatly on the clothes rack by the bed, then clapped her hands in satisfaction.

……

The next day, Tuesday.

There are no classes in the morning.

Su Qinghe got up earlier than Jiang Che.

When Jiang Che opened his eyes, the seat next to him was empty, and only a faint scent of shampoo remained on the pillow.

He rubbed his eyes as he went downstairs and saw Su Qinghe had already changed into the outfit she had carefully chosen the night before, and was standing in front of the dressing mirror in the entryway, repeatedly examining herself.

Her thick, jet-black hair cascaded freely over her shoulders, and her beige skirt fell just a hand's width above her knees, revealing a pair of straight legs beneath the hem. She wore white canvas shoes that she had chosen yesterday.

She was as clean as a gardenia that had just been picked from a branch.

"You're all ready so early?" Jiang Che leaned against the stair railing and yawned.

"Hmm~"

Su Qinghe glanced at him in the mirror. "Why are you so late? Hurry up and wash up and change your clothes. If you dawdle and make us late for our date, I'll beat you up."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Jiang Che helplessly raised his hands in surrender, then turned and went upstairs to wash up.

An hour later, the two arrived at the Kyoto University Library.

Su Qinghe looked up at the building in front of her, her mouth involuntarily forming an "O" shape.

"Wow, it's huge..."

The Kyoto University Library has five floors and a modern gray-white exterior. Two huge stone pillars support the entire glass curtain wall at the main entrance.

Sunlight streamed through the curtain wall, illuminating the hall brightly.

Su Qinghe led Jiang Che through the gate, her head turning left and right like a radar, her eyes filled with curiosity and amazement.

Sunlight streamed down from the glass dome at the top, casting bright patches of light on the off-white marble floor.

The four walls are lined with mahogany bookshelves that stretch from floor to ceiling, crammed full of books, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of paper and wood.

"Ah Che, look, there's a self-service parcel locker over there."

"That spiral staircase is so beautiful."

"My goodness, this row of bookshelves is so long! I can't see the other end from one end to the other."

Jiang Che watched her from the side, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turning upwards.

This girl is usually aloof and distant in front of others, as if she doesn't want to be approached, but she's like a completely different person in front of me.

Hopping and chattering, like a kitten that has wandered into new territory, wanting to see everything, touch everything, and making a fuss about everything.

"Alright, alright, we're not here for sightseeing." Jiang Che shifted his gaze from Su Qinghe's face and gestured towards the reading area. "Let's go, let's find a seat."

Su Qinghe reluctantly withdrew her gaze from looking around and obediently followed Jiang Che inside.

The two bypassed the front desk service area, passed through two rows of tall bookshelves, and found a two-person table by the window in the innermost corner of the reading area.

Outside the window is a ginkgo tree, its leaves now completely golden yellow, and sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the table.

Su Qinghe put down her schoolbag, took out an iPad, a notebook, and a black pen, and neatly arranged them on the table.

Jiang Che followed suit and placed the copy of the "Company Law" in front of him.

Then the two of them began their respective "studies".
