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

Lu Xing kept his head down, pretending to be very focused on his breakfast, but in reality, he kept stealing glances at her.

But the more he acted like that, the more adorable Shen Qingyi found him.

very nice.

My beloved is right in front of me, healthy and safe.

that's enough.

Lu Xing finally couldn't help but look up at her.

Why are you staring at me and grinning like an idiot?

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head again and muttered something under his breath:

Am I really that stupid?

Shen Qingyi blinked and gently shook her head.

No.

Lu Xing looked at her with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Shen Qingyi rested her chin on her hand and said with a smile:

"Of course I'll be happy to see my boyfriend."

"People laugh when they're happy, what's wrong with that?"

Lu Xing: "..."

It seems to make sense, but something also seems off.

"That's what they say..."

Before he could finish speaking, the girl produced a tissue from somewhere.

Before Lu Xing could react, she had already leaned closer and gently wiped the corner of his mouth with her hand.

"Stop overthinking, the meat bun's juice is still on your lips."

He stared blankly as Shen Qingyi wiped the corner of his mouth clean, and then saw her fold the tissue and place it on the table.

The whole process felt so natural, as if I had done it many times before.

Lu Xing's ears belatedly started to feel hot.

The girl in front of me had a strange, gentle aura about her.

It wasn't the kind of thoughtfulness that was deliberately shown.

It's a natural and familiar kind of care, a feeling that occasionally gives me a sense of being a "wife".

He had a vague feeling about this before when he ate noodles outside of school.

Lu Xing touched his nose and said in a muffled voice:

"……Thanks."

Shen Qingyi smiled.

You're welcome~

------

After breakfast, it was almost time.

The School of Computer Science and the School of Foreign Languages ​​have different focuses.

After leaving the cafeteria, the two could only walk along the school road to the fork in the road and part ways.

Shen Qingyi, carrying her schoolbag, had only taken a few steps toward the School of Foreign Languages ​​when Lu Xing's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Shen Qingyi".

She stopped and turned around.

Lu Xing stood at the crossroads, his expression more serious than before.

"If any more upperclassmen or similar people come looking for you..."

He paused for a moment before continuing:

"Just call me."

Shen Qingyi looked at him and blinked.

Lu Xing thought she hadn't heard him clearly, so he added:

"I mean, if someone keeps bothering you—"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Qingyi wrinkled her nose, turned around, and walked back.

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

The next second, Shen Qingyi raised her hand and quickly poked his waist.

Lu Xing was so startled by her poke that he almost jumped back.

"hiss--"

He instinctively clutched his side, his face full of bewilderment:

What are you doing?

Shen Qingyi looked up at him, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction:

"What did you just call me?"

Lu Xing was even more confused.

"Shen Qingyi?"

Shen Qingyi looked at him and continued to ask:

"So what is our relationship now?"

Lu Xing answered blankly:

"...romantic relationship."

Shen Qingyi's displeasure vanished instantly, replaced by a smiling expression.

She nodded, her voice light and cheerful:

"You got it right!"

Lu Xing suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Shen Qingyi slowly followed up with the next sentence:

"So, what are you going to call me now?"

Lu Xing: "..."

Now I understand why she was unhappy earlier.

So that's why...

Lu Xing raised his hand and scratched his ear, attempting to employ delaying tactics:

"I promise I won't use your full name next time."

Shen Qingyi refused to comply.

She took another step closer to him, looking at him with her eyes crinkling.

"no."

Lu Xing took half a step back.

Shen Qingyi also took half a step forward.

I want to hear it now.

Lu Xing: "..."

Shen Qingyi taught him to read the words one by one, just like teaching a child to read:

"Come on, repeat after me, Qing-yi."

Lu Xing suddenly felt that her name was a bit too hot to pronounce.

He glanced at Shen Qingyi, then looked away and confessed:

"I... I can't quite make that sound right now."

Shen Qingyi tilted her head.

Why?

Lu Xing lowered his voice:

"I feel a little embarrassed."

Shen Qingyi was taken aback for a moment, then the smile in her eyes became even more obvious.

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Lu Xing pursed his lips and remained silent.

Shen Qingyi looked at him like this and gave a soft humph:

"Quickly call out."

The girl leaned closer to him, her voice low but carrying a blatant threat:

"Otherwise, I might kiss you!"

Lu Xing's eyelids twitched.

What kind of threat is this?

This is clearly a reward, isn't it?

But if you don't call out at this point, it would be as if you were deliberately asking for a kiss.

Bad woman!

They had him completely figured out.

Lu Xing remained silent for a few seconds, then a blush slowly rose to his face.

He turned his head slightly away from Shen Qingyi, his voice so soft it was almost blown away by the wind.

"Qingyi".

Shen Qingyi was finally satisfied.

She nodded, her eyes crinkling with a hint of triumph in her voice:

"That's a good boy/girl."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the School of Foreign Languages.

Her backpack swayed slightly with her movements, and her silhouette exuded a light and carefree air.

Lu Xing stood there, sighed deeply, and walked towards the Computer Science Department.

Halfway there, he ran into Zhao Lin, who was also on his way to class.

Zhao Lin had messy hair, one hand holding bread, the other covering his mouth as he yawned.

She looked like she had been forcibly dragged out of bed.

Lu Xing leaned closer and sized him up:

"Is the software engineering department also at 8 AM today?"

Zhao Lin nodded weakly:

"Um……"

He dragged out his words and yawned again.

It looked as if it had burned out completely.

Lu Xing looked at him, a thought flashing through his mind.

"Zhao Lin".

Zhao Lin's eyelids were almost closed.

"Um?"

How good are your basic computer skills?

Zhao Lin took a bite of bread and chewed it slowly.

He seemed to think about it seriously for a moment before giving a vague answer:

"It should be pretty good."

Lu Xing raised an eyebrow.

"Not bad?"

Zhao Lin nodded.

"I know a little bit of all sorts of random things."

Looking at his sleepy appearance, Lu Xing couldn't immediately tell whether what he said was reliable or not.

He continued to ask:

"What specifically will happen?"

"Programming? Or something else?"

After asking the question, Lu Xing silently complained to himself.

Is he just someone who plays video games?

Zhao Lin stuffed the last bite of bread into his mouth, then looked down and sipped the soy milk from the bag.

After a few seconds, he slowly spoke:

"I don't know what level I'm at."

Lu Xing looked at him.

Zhao Lin scratched his messy hair, his tone still lazy:

"However, I was forced to participate in a competition during high school."

Forced?

Lu Xing paused slightly.

"and then?"

Zhao Lin yawned and said:

"I was lucky and got first place."

Lu Xing: "..."

Where did this Versailles master come from?

"First place?"

Zhao Lin nodded, his expression completely calm.

"Um."

Lu Xing asked curiously:

"Aren't you going to participate in the freshman competition at the academy?"

Zhao Lin shook his head:

"I'm not very interested, and..."

He yawned again.

"I'm lazy~"

Lu Xing remained expressionless.

Row.
