Chapter 88

In the evenings, Qin Yuchuan usually sent over porridge and pastries, occasionally accompanied by some light, nourishing soups.

Though simple, the food was a feast for the senses. Feng Qingyi felt this was truly the treatment of ancient nobility.

Eating the warm porridge while watching the snowy scene on the screen, Feng Qingyi thought this moment was truly beautiful.

If only the person on the other side could be by her side, it might be even more wonderful.

Feng Qingyi didn't know why such a thought suddenly occurred to her, though it vanished as quickly as it had come.

"Why are you spacing out while eating? What are you thinking about?"

The camera suddenly switched, and the snowy scene on the screen changed to Qin Yuchuan's handsome face.

Feng Qingyi shook her head, "Nothing, I wasn't thinking about anything."

"That look on your face seems rather guilty."

Having spent a lot of time with Feng Qingyi, Qin Yuchuan occasionally teased her, finding her flustered reactions utterly adorable.

Feng Qingyi glared at him, "I'm not! I don't want to look at you, I want to see the snow."

"Am I not more pleasing to look at than the snow?" Qin Yuchuan's voice carried a hint of seduction.

"How can you be so narcissistic?" She hadn't realized before that he was this kind of person.

"Narcissistic?" Qin Yuchuan often heard new phrases from Feng Qingyi.

Feng Qingyi explained, "Narcissistic means being excessively confident and self-satisfied."

"How interesting. I recall someone admiring herself in the mirror just a few days ago. That term seems more fitting for that scenario."

Feng Qingyi was speechless. A few mornings ago, she had forgotten to hang up the phone and had indulged in a moment of self-admiration in front of the mirror.

She had even specifically asked him if he had heard anything, and he said he hadn't heard a thing. She had actually believed him!

"I don't want to talk to you anymore. You're so annoying!"

Knowing Feng Qingyi was irritated, Qin Yuchuan stopped teasing her. "Go study after you finish eating, but don't stay up too late."

"I know, hanging up now." After ending the call, Feng Qingyi finished her dinner at a leisurely pace.

...

After half a month of gloomy weather, the skies in the Capital City finally cleared up.

"Then it's decided!" Shen Hanyue agreed.

Feng Qingyi already knew about Feng Qingci's plan to confess to Lou Xi on the evening of the 24th.

To keep the secret for Feng Qingci, Feng Qingyi hadn't mentioned anything to Lou Xi.

As for how Feng Qingci planned to confess, Feng Qingyi wasn't quite sure.

However, she had already provided him with some reliable information, and the rest was up to him.

The day before Christmas happened to be a Friday. Feng Qingci, having no classes, left early in the morning to prepare for his long-planned confession.

Accompanying him were his three roommates, Shi Yuan, Luo Zhou, and Bu Huan. Feng Qingci took them to a Western restaurant.

Shi Yuan, looking at the empty restaurant, asked, "Ci-ge, why is there no one here?"

"I spent a fortune to book the entire place for a day, so I'm now penniless. That's why I need you brothers to help with decorating the restaurant!"

"I still need to prepare the ingredients for tonight's dinner. I've already got the flowers and balloons ready, so please set them up according to this diagram."

Feng Qingci shamelessly directed his three roommates.

Luo Zhou, looking at the diagram Feng Qingci had given them, hesitated.

Shi Yuan took the diagram from his hand, "Good grief, he thinks we're miracle workers. This looks like he's planning a wedding scene!"

"He's prepared quite thoroughly. Although I'm not sure if we can pull it off, let's do our best!" Bu Huan said.

Feng Qingyi had just finished class when she received a message from Feng Qingci requesting backup, saying the project was enormous and urgently needed support.

So she called Shen Hanyue and Qu Jingqiu to join her, thinking that more hands would make light work.

When Feng Qingyi arrived at the restaurant with Shen Hanyue and Qu Jingqiu, she only saw the three male students inflating balloons, with no sign of Feng Qingci.

"Hello, do you know where Feng Qingci went?" she asked.

Shi Yuan saw Feng Qingyi and said, "Ci-ge said he went to prepare the ingredients. He also mentioned that when you arrive, he'd like you to help set up the venue."

"Here's the diagram Ci-ge gave us. We're supposed to decorate according to this."

Feng Qingyi took a look at the diagram and remarked, "I'm afraid it would take us all day to set this up, even with all of us working together."

"Doesn't he consider the practical aspects? Usually, for this kind of event setup, they'd hire professionals to handle it."

Shi Yuan chimed in, "While Ci-ge has these grand ideas, unfortunately his wallet doesn't agree. So we're left to do the heavy lifting ourselves."
