Feng Qingyi's attention was caught by Feng Qingci and Lou Xi, and she quietly took out her phone to sneak a picture.

After taking the photo, Feng Qingyi turned to the side and found that Song Jingyuan was looking at her with a strange expression.

"......"

Should she explain?

Feng Qingyi hesitated for a while but didn't speak; after all, they were in a library.

Having taken the photo, Feng Qingyi put her phone away and resumed reading.

She spent over an hour in the library, then checked the time and realized she needed to go to class.

However, the person next to her showed no sign of getting up – did he not have a class in the afternoon?

"Excuse me, senior!"

Song Jingyuan put away the book on his desk, "Sure."

As Feng Qingyi reached the library exit, she noticed Song Jingyuan was right beside her.

"Senior, do you need something?"

Song Jingyuan: "I'm going to class."

"Oh!" Awkward. Why did she have to say something? Wasn't that a bit presumptuous?

Song Jingyuan spoke to ease Feng Qingyi's embarrassment, "I'm heading to Building 5, what about you?"

Feng Qingyi: "Me too."

Song Jingyuan looked at Feng Qingyi, "Let's go together."

"Okay."

Feng Qingyi and Song Jingyuan walked in silence to Building 5 before parting ways.

After arriving at the classroom, Feng Qingyi was surrounded by a group of people with a few minutes to spare before class started.

"Qingyi, are you and Song Jingyuan together?" a classmate boldly asked.

Feng Qingyi shook her head, "No!"

"We're in college now, there's no need to hide if you're dating. You two were flirting in the library, we all saw it."

Feng Qingyi was bewildered, "Where did you see that? Flirting? I just sat with him, that's all."

"Don't hide it, we noticed something was off last time. Today, a few of us were studying in the library and saw it with our own eyes."

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about, admit it boldly, are you shy?"

This was not a matter of shyness; she barely knew him.

However, it was clear that there was no reasoning with them, they were just stirring things up.

"I really don't know him well, we've only met a few times. Don't make things up."

Is she being too pragmatic? He's not trying to get something for nothing, is he!

[Qingyi: Who paid for lunch when you ate with her?]

[Feng Qingci: Xi paid. She said she has money.]

She originally thought the worst-case scenario would be splitting the bill, but it turned out that the girl paid for their meal.

Can he really win her over like this? Feng Qingyi had some doubts!

[Qingyi: Are you comfortable with spending her money? If you're really broke, I can support you a bit.]

[Feng Qingci: You don't understand, that is, no one is willing to spend money on you.]

[Qingyi: ......]

[Qingyi: Look at you, so full of yourself! Be careful!]

Feng Qingyi sighed, wondering if Xi would dump him once the trial period was over.

Feng Qingyi glanced at Lou Xi. When Lou Xi met her sympathetic gaze, she was a bit confused.

"What's wrong?"

Feng Qingyi shook her head, "Nothing, just looking at you."

Lou Xi: "......"

What's so interesting about her?

...

In early November, the ginkgo trees in Capital City became the most beautiful scenery of the season.

Even with constant sweeping, the fallen leaves in the campus seemed to never be completely cleared away.

Without the sun, the entire sky was foggy.

The lights in the morning classroom were already on, the gloomy weather heralding the arrival of a storm.

The howling wind outside the window nearly drowned out the teacher's lecture.

Feng Qingyi has always disliked this kind of gloomy weather, which also brought her mood down.

After a hard struggle to the end of the class, a heavy rain blocked everyone's way to the cafeteria.

"Did any of you bring an umbrella?" Feng Qingyi asked.

Shen Hanyue shook his head, "It seems that no one brought one. We can wait until the rain eases a bit, or find someone to bring us an umbrella."

A large crowd of students squeezed at the entrance of the first-floor staircase.

At this moment, Feng Qingci, holding a super-sized umbrella, walked over.

"Xi, let's go eat!"

Feng Qingyi saw Feng Qingci walking straight to Lou Xi, took her hand, and prepared to leave.
