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

The next morning.

Lu Xing was awakened by the sunlight.

When he groggily opened his eyes, he only felt a little dizzy.

Last night, everyone was quite drunk and exhausted, so no one remembered to draw the curtains on the balcony.

Lu Xing raised his hand to shield his eyes.

My head feels heavy, with that dull feeling that's typical after drinking alcohol.

He lay in bed for a while before slowly sitting up.

The dormitory was very quiet.

Lin Yuanzhou was wrapped in the blanket, with only a tuft of messy hair showing.

Zhao Lin's sleeping posture remained carefree, with half of the blanket hanging off the edge of the bed and his feet sticking out.

Zhou Lian was much more tidy, but his breathing was also very steady, so he was obviously still asleep.

Lu Xing rubbed his temples and quietly got out of bed.

He glanced at his phone.

"..."

It's only a little past six?

Lu Xing paused for a moment.

He felt like he had slept for a long time...

But soon, Lu Xing's attention was drawn to the unread messages.

Lu Xing's heart skipped a beat.

After he told Shen Qingyi he was safe last night, he seemed to go straight to bed.

Lu Xing immediately unlocked his phone and opened WeChat.

In Shen Qingyi's chat box, several messages were neatly displayed.

Shen Qingyi: [It's good that I'm in the dorm. I was just washing up.]

Shen Qingyi: [Have you washed up yet?]

Shen Qingyi: [Are you sleepy?]

The first few points were quite mild and normal...

But as you look further on, the art style starts to change.

Shen Qingyi: [Lu Xing?]

Shen Qingyi: [Are you really asleep?]

Shen Qingyi: [You didn't drink too much again, did you? Didn't you say you only had a few drinks?]

Shen Qingyi: 【How dare you ignore me!】

Shen Qingyi: [Hmph, even if you're asleep, you're still wrong!]

The last one was accompanied by an angry emoji with hands on hips.

Lu Xing looked at the screen.

Let's not even talk about whether it's over or not.

He drank too much again...

What does that mean?

Something jumbled through Lu Xing's mind, and images from last night's dream suddenly flooded back.

"..."

His mind cleared instantly.

It felt like someone had poured a bucket of ice water on the top of my head.

After a long while, Lu Xing slowly raised his hand and covered his face.

Even if it's a dream...

How could I be so shameful?

Lu Xing closed his eyes, trying to erase the memory from his mind.

But the more I think about it, the clearer it becomes.

Oh no, I can't take it anymore, should I really dig a hole and bury myself?

Alcohol is definitely not a good thing; I must try to avoid it in the future.

He took a deep breath and replied to Shen Qingyi first.

Lu Xing: [I was so tired last night, I just put my phone down and fell asleep.]

Lu Xing: [I really didn't mean to ignore you.]

Lu Xing: [I didn't drink that much last night, I was just too tired after a long day.]

After thinking for a moment, he added another sentence.

Lu Xing: [I'll try to drink less in the future.]

After sending the message, Shen Qingyi did not reply immediately.

It's only a little past six o'clock, and she's still sleeping.

Lu Xing put down his phone, glanced at his clothes, and couldn't help but frown.

I went straight to bed when I got back to my dorm last night without even washing up.

I still smell faintly of alcohol and cooking oil on my body.

Lu Xing was somewhat disgusted.

He took out a change of clothes and a towel from the closet and tiptoed into the bathroom.

He felt a little dazed when the cold water hit his face.

The woman in my dream seemed to be my wife?

Lu Xing looked down as the water slipped through his fingers.

That sense of familiarity grew stronger and stronger, to the point that he could no longer explain it as "just a dream."

If it's not a dream, then what is it?

……

Noon, outside the school.

Lu Xing sat across from Shen Qingyi at the small table, watching her eat the steamed dumplings one bite at a time.

She was wearing a knitted cardigan today, and her hair was neatly draped over her shoulders.

Her beautiful eyes and eyebrows seemed to brighten up the entire store.

The way the girl ate clearly showed a hint of sulking.

Pick up a steamed dumpling.

Take a bite.

He glanced at Lu Xing again.

Take another bite.

Looking at her like this, Lu Xing inexplicably felt like laughing.

Shen Qingyi noticed his gaze and looked up at him.

Why are you staring at me?

Lu Xing quickly lowered his head and ate his noodles.

"It's nothing."

Shen Qingyi gave a soft hum.

"It's best if nothing happens."

She picked up another steamed dumpling and took a small bite.

In fact, Shen Qingyi did not really mean to make things difficult for the boy.

Lu Xing reported back to the dormitory last night that he was safe and sound, so I'm glad to know he's back.

Not replying to messages isn't really a big deal.

However...

She understands the道理 (principles/reasoning), but she doesn't care.

So Shen Qingyi took the opportunity to extort a meal from Lu Xing at a Shaxian Grand Restaurant.

"Since the steamed dumplings are so delicious, I'll let bygones be bygones for what happened last night~"

Lu Xing nodded immediately.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Shen."

Shen Qingyi looked at him and smiled gently.

You big idiot, she was just being unreasonable.

He spoils his girlfriend in everything, what if she turns out to be a bad woman?

Humph……

"Student Lu."

"Um?"

Lu Xing, with noodles stuffed in his mouth, looked up at her.

Shen Qingyi said earnestly:

"You really need to try to drink less in the future."

"It's very bad for your health, you know?"

Lu Xing nodded quickly.

Because his mouth was still full of noodles, he could only mumble two "uh-huh" sounds.

Seeing how he was wolfing down his food, Shen Qingyi helplessly reached out and pushed the clear soup next to her over.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

Lu Xing swallowed the noodles in his mouth, took a sip of the soup, and then scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Well... I'm used to it."

When I was working, I was always in a rush to eat.

Lunch break is limited, demands are coming in from all directions, and online issues still need to be addressed.

Over time, one's eating speed naturally increases.

Shen Qingyi, of course, knew why he had this habit.

She glanced down at the steamed dumplings in the bowl, a fleeting emotion passing through her eyes.

But soon, the girl returned to her usual relaxed demeanor.

"You only need to change things once you've gotten used to them."

She gave Lu Xing a reproachful look.

"Be careful, you might get stomach problems later, and then you'll be screaming in pain."

Lu Xing took another bite of noodles and said very seriously:

"Even if it hurts, I definitely won't scream."

Shen Qingyi glanced at him, her lips curving slightly.

"That would be best."

……

After finishing their meal, the two walked out of the store.

As soon as I opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew in my face.

Shen Qingyi subconsciously shrank her shoulders and raised her hand to touch her arm.

"Wow, it's so cool."

She sighed softly:

Winter is coming again.

Lu Xing nodded.

Autumn is more than halfway over, and the weather in Jiangcheng is always unpredictable.

Lu Xing glanced at the girl.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"If possible, you should wear more layers normally."

Shen Qingyi turned her head to look at him.

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Lu Xing scratched his cheek.

"I was just worried you'd be cold."

"Wearing more clothes will keep you warm, won't it?"

The jumble of memories flashed through Shen Qingyi's mind.

The girl's eyes gradually curved into crescent moons.

"OK."

She nodded gently.

"I wear thicker clothes in winter."

Lu Xing nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, that's good."

But less than two seconds after he was satisfied, Shen Qingyi suddenly leaned closer.

She tiptoed and whispered in his ear:

"But then, all those thermal stockings I just bought will be useless."

Lu Xing paused in his steps.

Shen Qingyi acted as if she hadn't seen his reaction and returned to her original position.

As she walked forward, she counted on her fingers and said:

"There's a white one."

"There are black ones."

"And Rei..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Xing hurriedly reached out and covered her mouth.

"Stop talking."

He lowered his voice, but his ears were already red.

"These are definitely not things you should wear out."

Shen Qingyi looked at him with her eyes crinkled as he covered her mouth.

She didn't say anything.

But her clear eyes were full of smiles.

Lu Xing felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze.

He released his grip, turned his head, and coughed lightly twice.

"certainly."

"It's not like you can't wear this at all."

Shen Qingyi raised an eyebrow.

Lu Xing tried to make his tone sound more serious.

"You can wear it casually, right?"

"I can also help you see if it's suitable for you."

Shen Qingyi turned her gaze back to the road ahead, her voice light and airy.

"A repressed pervert."

Lu Xing: "..."

He opened his mouth, as if to explain.

But what can that explain?

Land-based companies ultimately gave up completely.

"...You chose to be a repressed pervert too."

Shen Qingyi gave a soft hum.

"Who chose you?"

Despite saying that, the girl naturally took his arm.

The two of them walked slowly along the street.

Not long after, Shen Qingyi suddenly stopped and tugged at Lu Xing's arm.

"Walk."

Lu Xing looked at her.

"Where to?"

Shen Qingyi pointed to a milk tea shop next door.

"I'm in a good mood right now, let me buy you a milk tea."

Lu Xing had no reason to refuse and could only be dragged into the milk tea shop by her.

The milk tea shop is brightly decorated, with several potted green plants next to the counter, and the air is filled with a faint aroma of tea and milk.

The shop assistant's eyes lit up when she saw Shen Qingyi come in.

Wow, she's a beautiful lady!

"Hello, what would you like to drink?"

The shop assistant immediately flashed a warm smile.

Shen Qingyi glanced at the menu and quickly said:

"I want a cup of Bo Ya's Broken Strings."

The shop assistant nodded.

"OK."

Shen Qingyi then added naturally:

"Another lemon tea, 50% sugar, less ice."

The shop assistant quickly placed the order.

"Okay, the total is..."

Shen Qingyi scanned the code to pay, and then pulled Lu Xing to sit down in a corner by the window in the store.

After Lu Xing sat down, he looked at the girl with a strange expression.

She was looking down, adjusting her cuffs, her expression natural.

Lu Xing finally couldn't help but ask:

"Qingyi..."

Shen Qingyi looked up.

"Um?"

Lu Xing stared at her.

How do you know my favorite flavors?

"I don't think I told you, did I?"

Shen Qingyi glanced at him, her face showing no sign of panic.

She seemed to have anticipated that he would ask that question.

The next second, she smiled and waved to Lu Xing.

"Come a little closer."

Lu Xing was a little confused, but he still obediently moved closer.

Shen Qingyi also moved slightly closer, her voice very soft:

Actually...

Lu Xing listened attentively.

Shen Qingyi's eyes curved into a smile as she whispered:

"I'm a fortune-telling genius who can predict the future!"
