The female protagonist's character was completely ruined after transmigrating into a book and b

"Awesome, bro, you're the best."

Ji Xiangchen gave Qin Yizhu a thumbs up, then got up and left.

He genuinely thought Qin Yizhu was awesome.

Of course, it would be even more awesome if the boat didn't capsize.

But this is a good thing.

Given the current situation, Su Xixi definitely won't continue being with this person. I'll take advantage of Su Xixi's sadness and comfort her wounded heart.

As the saying goes, if you keep licking, you'll have everything you could ever want.

"Are you two restraining a prisoner?"

Qin Yizhu looked at the two people holding her hands on either side, feeling somewhat helpless.

"You two."

Su Xixi looked at Qin Yizhu and Chi Lingyuan.

You were so focused on guarding against Shang Suci that you forgot to guard against you, weren't you?

My house was robbed.

"Don't get agitated, I'm just asking Qin Yizhu to help me reject some people."

Chi Lingyuan released Qin Yizhu's hand.

"She did this on her very first day of high school."

Qin Yizhu said to Chi Lingyuan.

Su Xixi snorted.

"But I'm not sure if anything will happen in the future."

After taking a sip of juice, Chi Lingyuan added another sentence.

"ha?"

She kept provoking me.

This was Su Xixi's first reaction.

However, Qin Yizhu knew that Chi Lingyuan was only stating a possibility.

There was no intention to provoke them.

"snort."

After gritting her teeth for a while, Su Xixi finally gave up.

"Hate."

She muttered something under her breath, then vented her anger on Qin Yizhu's waist.

"I'm telling you, at least consider my reputation."

Qin Yizhu propped his chin up, his voice sounding somewhat drunk.

"If this gets out, I'll be seen as a scumbag who tried to have his cake and eat it too, and then things went wrong."

"Not that little."

Chi Lingyuan continued.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Su Xixi snorted, not wanting to look at Qin Yizhu.

Hate.

"Besides, this is actually quite good. By then, everyone will know you're a scumbag, and you won't have to go around messing around with other girls."

Qin Yizhu smiled but didn't say anything.

"It seems like nothing's happened anymore, shall we go back?"

After the group lingered around the small round table for a while, Su Xixi yawned listlessly.

She'd already seen the farce she most wanted to watch, and now she just wanted to go home, wash up, and go to sleep.

"Let's go."

Chi Lingyuan also stood up.

"I still need to go find my roommate."

Su Xixi muttered.

Damn it, I should have known better than to buy a two-seater sports car.

The three of them stood outside the door on the first floor. Chi Lingyuan was texting Chen You on her phone, telling her that they were leaving.

Outside was a lawn with several benches, and behind the benches were shrubs and trees of some unknown species.

No one usually wanders around in a bunch of bushes at night unless they're up to something bad.

But some people do sit on the benches and chat.

"That looks like your roommate."

Su Xixi spotted Fang Beichen and... Zhou Wei on a bench on the lawn not far away at a glance?

"Is he fucking insane?"

Qin Yizhu was getting really anxious.

He had created so many opportunities for Fang Beichen and Chen You, but this guy turned around and sat with Zhou Wei enjoying the evening breeze.

He was genuinely scared.

After all, judging from Fang Beichen's behavior, this kid has never let go of Zhou Wei.

He even said things like he was willing to be swindled by Zhou Wei, which shows that he was seriously ill.

Fang Beichen could very well repeat the same mistake.

"Ahem, you two, aren't you curious?"

Su Xixi's mischievous ideas have come up again.

Qin Yizhu's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Because he knew that no matter how curious he was, he would eventually become curious.

"Not curious."

Chi Lingyuan was naturally not curious, as she had no connection with these two people.

And even if there is some overlap, she isn't curious.

"No, you're just curious."

Su Xixi said seriously.

Qin Yizhu sighed.

"Don't you want to know what those two are talking about right now?"

"I don't want to know."

"No, you want to know."

As Su Xixi spoke, she stood directly in the middle and grabbed the wrists of the two people.

"Just do it for my sake, go and eavesdrop."

Don't say the word "eavesdropping" so confidently.

Qin Yizhu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Fortunately, Chi Lingyuan was the type to accept things as they come—only among close friends—so she didn't object and followed Su Xixi around.

The three of them circled around for a long time before sneaking behind the low bushes behind the two of them.

Thankfully it's already autumn, otherwise the three of them would be feeding mosquitoes.

"To talk about resentment, there's no way I would say so."

The three of them crouched behind, eavesdropping on the two's conversation.

It was Fang Beichen who was speaking at this moment.

"I know that people have different pursuits, but I still hope that you can find someone you truly like in the future."

"I used to like you, a pure and simple liking."

silence.

Fang Beichen remained silent.

Qin Yizhu really wanted to jump up and say, "Don't repeat the same mistake."

But before that, he was stopped by Su Xixi.

A long silence.

Qin Yizhu felt that about thirty seconds had passed—but in reality, only ten seconds had passed. After that, he heard Fang Beichen's soft laughter.

"Thanks."

How dignified!

Clearly, Zhou Wei hadn't expected Fang Beichen to suddenly thank her.

"But why did you become like this?"

Have you ever heard the saying?

Isn't their relationship a bit too bland? Is that right?

Su Xixi really didn't expect that the two of them could communicate so calmly.

"Poverty-stricken couples face a hundred sorrows."

Zhou Wei gave a bitter smile after she finished speaking.

"My parents divorced after our college entrance exams."

This phenomenon is not uncommon. In fact, many couples have been unable to get along for a long time, but they are afraid of affecting their children's studies, so they insist on waiting until after the college entrance examination to get divorced.

After all, the college entrance examination is a major event in life.

"We couldn't make ends meet anymore. You can probably sense that. My family's situation isn't just average; it's really bad. My mom always complained that my dad didn't earn enough money, and in the end, they divorced. Not having money wasn't the direct cause, but..."

Zhou Wei did not continue speaking.

But they all knew what Zhou Wei wanted to say.

"I'm not making excuses for myself, Fang Beichen. I'm just answering your question. I'm terrified of being poor. Really, I don't want to end up like my parents. That's all."

Zhou Wei continued speaking.

"But you're at Shanghai University now, and you'll have already achieved a leap in social class after you graduate."

Fang Beichen couldn't understand Zhou Wei, just as Zhou Wei couldn't understand why Fang Beichen was so low-key in high school.

"Maybe, but I'm still scared."

Zhou Wei continued speaking.

A person's life will inevitably go through three stages.

看山是山，看山不是山，看山还是山。

Zhou Wei had a crush on Fang Beichen before, although that period may not have been long, but she ultimately liked him as a person.

However, after her family's misfortunes, she felt that material things determined everything.

Poor and humble couples are sad.

What about after that?

"That's settled then. I hope you and that girl have a long and happy relationship."

Zhou Wei stood up and said to Fang Beichen.
