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

After lunch, Lu Xing escorted Shen Qingyi back to her dormitory.

The distance from the cafeteria to the girls' dormitory is not far; it takes at most five minutes.

But every time the two of them walked this stretch of road, they would subconsciously slow down.

Shen Qingyi walked beside Lu Xing with her hands behind her back and her steps were light.

The bow in her hair swayed slightly with her movements.

She seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on her lips and humming an unknown tune.

Lu Xing initially listened quietly.

But as he listened, he felt that the melody sounded somewhat familiar.

Lu Xing couldn't help but turn his head to look at her:

What song are you humming?

Shen Qingyi paused slightly.

But soon, the girl smiled and turned to look at him.

"It's just me humming randomly."

"What kind of song is this?"

Lu Xing was taken aback.

"Just humming nonsense?"

"Yes."

Shen Qingyi nodded with a smile, her tone light and cheerful, showing no sign of anything amiss.

Looking at her expression, Lu Xing didn't press her further.

He simply nodded somewhat helplessly.

"I thought it was some popular song recently, since it sounds pretty good."

Shen Qingyi's lips curled up again.

"Then just consider it my original work."

Lu Xing thought for a moment and said seriously:

"That student, Shen, is quite musically talented."

"Thank you for the compliment~"

She gently shook her head, like a happy little kitten.

Shen Qingyi turned to look at Lu Xing, and suddenly remembered something:

"Oh, right."

"Um?"

The girl asked:

"If you're going to participate in a computer competition, have you bought a computer yet?"

Lu Xing paused slightly in his steps.

"I haven't bought it yet."

"But it's not a big problem, I can practice at an internet cafe."

He spoke of it casually, as if it were a trivial matter:

"The qualifying rounds shouldn't be too complicated. If you need to practice or look up information, an internet cafe is sufficient."

"Once I win the prize money from the later competitions, I can buy a computer."

At this point, Lu Xing, wanting to lighten the mood, added with a grin:

"When I get the bonus, I'll treat you to a big meal, how about that?"

Shen Qingyi simply looked at him quietly.

Could it be that the lack of computer practice led to the loss in the competition...?

Then did you start to slack off in your studies?

Shen Qingyi's thoughts raced through her mind, but on the surface she merely gave a soft hum:

"I don't want you to treat me."

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment.

"Why?"

Shen Qingyi raised her chin and said with a touch of arrogance:

"I haven't even treated you to the meal I was supposed to treat you to last time."

Lu Xing then remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

After Shen Qingyi finished speaking, she raised an eyebrow.

She moved a little closer to Lu Xing and gently bumped his shoulder against him.

"If Lu really does get a ranking after the competition..."

She looked at him with a smile:

"How about I treat you to a fancy meal?"

Lu Xing did not answer immediately upon hearing this.

He turned his head to the side and raised his hand to scratch his cheek.

As soon as this action was made, Shen Qingyi knew something was wrong.

She squinted slightly and wrinkled her nose.

"what?"

"You don't want to have dinner with me?"

Lu Xing quickly shook his head and waved his hands.

"No way!"

"How could I not want to..."

Shen Qingyi stared at him.

"Then why aren't you saying anything?"

Lu Xing opened his mouth.

He hesitated for a few seconds before tentatively asking:

"only……"

"The mystery reward you mentioned earlier, it's not just a meal, is it?"

Shen Qingyi was so angry at these words that she laughed. She knew that this fool was up to no good.

She raised her hand and patted Lu Xing's shoulder in an annoyed tone:

"That's right."

Shen Qingyi deliberately put on a stern face:

"You found out! The mystery reward is a meal."

She looked up at him, her tone deliberately tinged with danger:

"What, you don't want to?"

Lu Xing shook his head, but then laughed.

"How could I possibly refuse?"

"I'd be very happy if you treated me to a meal."

He paused for a moment, then added:

"But let's not have anything fancy to eat, okay?"

"Anything will do."

Shen Qingyi's smile faded slightly, and she stopped walking.

Then she turned around and stood in front of him.

Lu Xing also stopped.

The girl just watched him quietly.

Those eyes no longer held their usual cunning, nor did they contain any mischievousness intended to tease him.

Lu Xing subconsciously touched his nose.

"What's wrong?"

"It stopped suddenly."

Shen Qingyi did not answer the question.

She simply looked at him and asked softly:

"Land travel..."

"If you were to treat me to a meal, where would you like to take me?"

Lu Xing didn't know why she suddenly asked this question.

But seeing the girl's serious expression, he honestly began to think about it.

After a while, he said:

"We'll probably go eat grilled fish, right?"

"Or barbecue, buffet, or something like that."

"If there's anything you particularly want to eat, we can do what you say."

Shen Qingyi took a small step forward, and the distance between the two of them suddenly became much closer.

She asked again:

"What if you go out to eat alone?"

What do you eat?

Lu Xing vaguely sensed that the girl seemed a little unhappy.

But for a moment he couldn't figure out where he had gone wrong, so he could only continue to answer carefully:

"If I were alone..."

"They'll probably just eat noodles or something like that, right?"

He thought for a moment:

"For example, that beef noodle soup from last time was convenient, delicious, and filling."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyi suddenly raised her hands.

Before Lu Xing could react, she cupped his face in her hands.

Immediately afterwards, the girl used her slender, soft fingers to gently squeeze his cheeks together.

Lu Xing: "ber..."

His voice was somewhat muffled from being squeezed out.

"Qingyi?"

Shen Qingyi rubbed his face expressionlessly.

"Student Lu."

"Do you know that what you're doing is very wrong?"

Lu Xing's face was cupped in her hands, his eyes looking innocent and bewildered.

"What?"

Shen Qingyi gave a soft hum and began to lecture him:

"When you treat me to a meal, all you think about is grilled fish, grilled meat, buffet, all kinds of delicious food."

"When I eat alone, a bowl of noodles is enough."

"It wasn't a big deal anyway..."

She paused, then pinched Lu Xing's cheek.

"But--"

When it's my turn to treat you, just say you'll want to eat anything casually.

"That's not good."

Lu Xing was stunned.

Shen Qingyi released her hands and put them behind her back.

She stood there in front of him, her skirt fluttering gently in the breeze, her eyes serious.

"Lu Xing, you are my boyfriend."

Her voice was soft, yet every word was clear:

I want to give you the best of everything.

Lu Xing stood there blankly.

This is just a very simple sentence.

But he was at a loss for words.

Lu Xing remained silent for a while before scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"I was wrong."

He frankly admitted:

"I wasn't thinking that much about it just now."

Shen Qingyi stared at him for two seconds, and the seriousness on her face gradually faded.

The next second, she was all smiles again.

The girl stepped forward and naturally took Lu Xing's hand.

"The ability to admit and correct one's mistakes is a sign of good character."

Shen Qingyi's voice softened:

"Here's a reward for you."

Another soft touch landed on Lu Xing's cheek.

"Pop~"

The familiar scent vanished as soon as it was touched.

Lu Xing immediately turned his head to look around.

really……

Students passing by nearby stopped to look.

Some boys had blank expressions, while some girls had shining eyes.

Several people had already walked past, but couldn't help turning back for another look.

The boys' gazes toward Lu Xing were particularly complex.

I have this resentful urge to tie him to a frame and set him on fire...

Lu Xing's ears turned red little by little.

no……

How could she be so bold?

We're on the road!

However, when he turned his head to look at Shen Qingyi, he found that the girl was completely oblivious to the stares of those around her.

Sunlight filtered through the treetops and fell into her clear eyes.

And in those eyes, his image was reflected.

From beginning to end, only his figure was visible.
