Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

Chapter 49 Is this an invitation to a date?

When the military training ended, a layer of red still lingered on the horizon.

Lu Xing disbanded with the group, went back to the dormitory, took a shower, and changed his clothes.

When he arrived at the cafeteria entrance, Shen Qingyi was already standing there.

She was wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt and light-colored trousers, her hair was tied up, and she was holding a mobile phone in her hand.

When she saw Lu Xing approaching, she looked up and smiled.

Lu Xing paused for a moment, then walked over naturally.

"Have you been waiting long?"

"no."

Shen Qingyi put away her phone:

"Just arrived."

The two went into the cafeteria together, bought food, and found a seat on the side.

As soon as I sat down, people from the next few tables started looking over.

Lu Xing is used to it now.

However, unlike at the beginning, the reaction from the new students has calmed down a lot now.

People would at most steal a glance, then lower their heads to eat.

It's no longer news that Shen, the school beauty from the School of Foreign Languages, waits for a boy from the School of Computer Science to have dinner with her every day.

Within the newly formed social circle, it was generally accepted that the two were a couple.

However, the upperclassmen in their second and third years often looked over with a puzzled expression.

Some were simply curious, while others recognized Shen Qingyi.

Some gazes fell upon Lu Xing, carrying a hint of inquiry.

It's said that some people are even running betting pools on when he'll be dumped.

When Lu Xing heard this news from Lin Yuanzhou, he remained silent for a long time.

He couldn't understand...

Let's not even talk about how I was used for a public offering.

Where did Lin Yuanzhou find out about this?

"What are you thinking about?"

Shen Qingyi's voice brought him back to reality.

Lu Xing looked up and saw her eating her meal in small bites.

She always eats very slowly.

He picked up a small amount of food with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it thoroughly, and then swallowed it.

At first, Lu Xing thought that she ate so politely because of her image.

Beautiful people might have some concerns about their image.

It was only later that we realized that this was truly the only way she could eat.

If you eat too quickly, you'll choke and cough, and your eyes will turn red.

Shen Qingyi blinked when she noticed him staring at her.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Xing was caught peeking, so he scratched his face.

"It's nothing."

"I just feel that you always eat very politely."

After he finished speaking, he added:

"That's pretty impressive."

Shen Qingyi paused for a moment, then laughed.

Her smile held a hint of helplessness, yet also a touch of indulgence:

"What's so great about that?"

Shen Qingyi picked up a piece of meat from her plate and placed it on Lu Xing's rice.

The movements were so natural, as if they had been done many times before.

"You should also chew your food slowly and carefully, you know?"

Shen Qingyi said softly:

"Otherwise it's bad for your stomach."

Lu Xing paused, looking at the piece of meat on his rice.

Shen Qingyi then placed a small piece of meat on his plate.

"Also, I have too much food; I can't finish it all."

"Can you eat some for me?"

Lu Xing didn't speak, but images from his dream flashed through his mind.

Shen Qingyi, who was wearing pajamas, immediately called him a lazy pig.

Her tone was nothing like it was now; it was even a bit fierce.

"Traveling by land?"

Shen Qingyi looked at him, her eyes filled with a hint of probing.

"What's wrong?"

She tilted her head slightly, her tone tinged with a smile.

"You don't like my food?"

Lu Xing immediately came to his senses.

"no."

He picked up the piece of meat and put it directly into his mouth.

"It smells so good..."

"How could I possibly complain? I'll eat as much as you give me, okay?"

Shen Qingyi looked at him, a smile curving her lips.

As Lu Xing chewed on the meat, a thought popped into his mind.

Looking at it this way, he really does look quite like a pig.

She has never been a picky eater since she was little, and she will eat anything given to her. She is very easy to raise.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Shen Qingyi saw him smile and asked:

"What are you laughing at all now?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Lu Xing lowered his head and ate his rice.

"I just think this meat tastes pretty good."

Shen Qingyi looked at him and didn't ask any further questions.

The two ate at the same pace as usual.

The girl ate slowly, and Lu Xing, influenced by her, also slowed down his eating speed.

Occasionally, Shen Qingyi would put the leftovers of her food on his plate, and Lu Xing would accept them without hesitation.

He'll eat whatever she gives him.

If someone is willing to serve him food, and he still acts coy and hesitant, then that's really abnormal.

Others want to eat it but can't get it.

After finishing their meal, Lu Xing carried their two plates to the recycling area.

Shen Qingyi waited for him beside her.

By the time the two of them came out of the cafeteria, it was already dark.

The campus streetlights came on, and the atmosphere of the military training coming to an end became increasingly apparent.

Many freshmen were discussing the bonfire party tomorrow night. Although it had the word "bonfire" in its name, there was absolutely no way there would actually be a bonfire.

Some people said they wanted to take photos to remember the occasion, while others were planning where to have dinner together after the party.

Lu Xing listened to these sounds and glanced at Shen Qingyi.

She walked beside me, her expression calm.

They seemed uninterested in those trending topics.

Lu Xing didn't speak immediately; he escorted Shen Qingyi to her dormitory building.

The two of them had walked this road many times before.

When she got downstairs, Shen Qingyi stopped.

"Then I'll go up."

She raised her hand, ready to wave goodbye to him.

Lu Xing spoke up at this moment:

"...Shen Qingyi".

"Um?"

She looked at him.

Lu Xing paused for a moment and asked:

Are you interested in the party tomorrow night?

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Qingyi's eyes.

"A party?"

"Um."

Lu Xing nodded.

"Isn't there an activity in the evening on the last day of military training?"

Shen Qingyi thought for a moment.

"well enough."

She spoke very seriously.

"The program for the gala should be pretty much the same."

"Singing, dancing, games, and interaction with the host."

She paused for a moment at this point.

"Well... the main reason is that I don't really like crowded places."

The last sentence was spoken very softly.

After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Lu Xing.

It was as if they were observing his reaction.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xing felt somewhat at ease.

He was initially wondering if it would seem too selfish to simply ask someone to leave the party.

It seems there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Then tomorrow evening, after military training..."

Lu Xing looked at her and said:

"Would you like to take a walk in the little garden behind the library?"

Shen Qingyi did not answer immediately, but just looked at him quietly.

Lu Xing continued:

"There are fewer people there, and it's quieter. It should be more comfortable than the party."

Shen Qingyi blinked.

The next second, she suddenly moved closer.

The distance between the two suddenly shortened.

She bent slightly and looked up at Lu Xing.

"Student Lu..."

Her voice was tinged with laughter:

"Are you asking me out?"

The faint fragrance drew near, and Lu Xing's breath caught in his throat.

He instinctively wanted to step back a little, but then felt that would be too cowardly.

Lu Xing was somewhat overwhelmed by her gaze.

He thought for two seconds, and finally said:

"I guess so?"

After saying that, he added:

"If you'd like."

Shen Qingyi's lips slowly curved into a smile.

She stood up straight, put her hands behind her back, and swayed gently.

"all right."

Lu Xing felt relieved.

But before he could completely relax, Shen Qingyi said again:

"But what if I get found out if I don't attend the party?"

The girl's eyes were clearly smiling.

On the last day of military training, the instructors were about to leave after the evening party.

The party that night was, frankly speaking, just a way for the freshmen to release stress.

If two people are missing, no one will really hold them accountable.

Lu Xing thought for a moment and said:

"Then you can just pin all the blame on me."

Shen Qingyi raised an eyebrow.

"Should I just dump it on you?"

"Um."

Lu Xing was very serious.

"Just say... that I forcibly abducted you."

"If the instructor wants to punish me, then let me bear the storm alone."

Shen Qingyi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Well, you're quite loyal."

"Absolutely."
