"Is it porridge? Is there only one bowl …?" She wasn't filled to the brim yet. Her heart was stifled. She was now extremely hungry.

Qimu looked at the still steaming porridge. There seemed to be stars twinkling in her black eyes, making her seem exceptionally bright.

The fragrance of the food even lifted Qimu's spirit. She ordered Xue Libin to bring her to the small coffee table in the corner and put her on the bed. She then used the table in front of her as a modern bed desk to "make do" with it.

Eating now was her top priority. Qimu was too busy to care about the price of this small mahogany tea table. To be "favored" by her was the good fortune of this small tea table.

"Also, I brought an egg and some vegetables. They are all warm."

Seeing Qimu's slightly disappointed tone, Xue Libin quickly took out another small dish from the food box. The dishes were exactly as he said; there was only a poached egg and some cabbages. There was really no smell of meat at all.

Seeing this, Qimu pursed her lips. After being hungry for half a day, she really wanted to eat meat. However, it was already good enough for someone to give her porridge. One had to be sensible and not ask for too much.

Qimu smiled as she thanked him and slowly ate, her stomach rumbling with hunger. This was a good habit she had gotten from the lessons she had learned in her previous life.

Back then, she had been in a hurry because she hadn't had a proper meal. It was rare for her to eat in a slow manner and focus on her meal. The years of accumulation had unknowingly broken her own stomach.

Qimu had to thank the heavens for the gift of the plane crash that had given her a new lease on life. Otherwise, in her past life, when she had been released from her post due to cancer, even if she was untouched and the sky was wide and the sea was free for me to fly, there would still be some shadow of sickness in her heart and she would not be truly happy.

Thinking about it carefully, it turned out that the heavens had placed all of her hardships before her. After she had experienced the cold and warmth of the human world, the hardships and unchangeability of the world, that hidden sweetness, slowly appeared and blended into her daily life, melting away the warmth sealed in her heart.

Xue Libin, who was standing at the side, was secretly surprised when he saw Qimu's actions, which was as graceful and demure as before, not at all like someone who had been starved for half a day.

This was not the first time he had served food to a student who had won the 'Order'. He had told Qimu that he was the one who had helped her up when she fell into the grass. That was why he knew this.

That morning, he helped others up in the morning, but in the afternoon, he was teased by his classmates to "send Buddha to the west", so he half-jokingly brought food to the person he met by chance.

That person was like Qimu, groaning and groaning on the bed, but the way they ate was very different.

That person wolfed down his food, completely losing the light that his Poetry Competition emanated, and losing his demeanor as the leader of the new generation of students in the Enlightenment Academy.

Qimu, on the other hand, was very orderly. Her every move was very good-looking, as if … Just like a woman in a bed.

Xue Libin stared at Qimu quietly, but was shocked by his own thoughts. Ye Qi was the most talented student, how could he be a girl?

He smiled awkwardly. On the contrary, he felt embarrassed to look at Qimu. However, since he had nothing to do, he could only stand to the side in embarrassment.

"Student Xue, why did you bring me food?"

Qimu's mind was meticulous. She soon noticed the awkwardness of Xue Libin standing aside with nothing to do, as well as the unnatural look on his face.

In order to ease the heavy atmosphere, she smiled at Xue Libin and pointed at the edge of the bed, telling him to sit down before she chatted with him.

"When I passed your lecture hall today and saw that you weren't there, I thought that you probably hadn't gotten up yet, or perhaps you hadn't even eaten, so I went to the cafeteria and ordered some porridge and side dishes for you."

"It was just a coincidence that I managed to make it in time. Didn't you just wake up?"

After Xue Libin had rejected Qimu's offer, he carefully sat on the corner of the bed. Although he looked a little shy and shy, not daring to look at Qimu, he still answered Qimu's question with a serious expression.

"It's like this, but, you're from the inner sect, I'm from the outer sect, it's only the first time we've met Poetry Competition, why are you so bold as to bring me food?"

"Also, on that night, you actually opened your mouth to urge me to drink less wine. This really surprised me."

"It doesn't suit your personality at all."

Qimu might have been immersed in the business circles for a long time in her previous life, but she still thought of the phrase "there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world" every once in a while.

Of course, Xue Libin's help was not the real reason for Qimu's surprise and confusion. The reason was:

Firstly, Xue Libin helped her refuse the alcohol. This was the first time she spoke to him, and it was directly related to her. As an introverted person, his motive for doing this kind of behavior was really thought-provoking.

Second, although there were no clear rules governing the area of operations of the inner and outer rooms, the inner and outer rooms were outside. Before this, if there was nothing between the two, there would be no intersection.

How should a student from the inner sect go about "passing by" the outer sect? This question was definitely not as simple as the modern high school Arcanum. It was also worth pondering over.

Hearing that, Xue Libin lowered his head even more. Seeing this, Qimu suddenly felt that she had made a mistake. She was also kind, why would she think so much? He was also stunned that he could speak so plainly to a shy introvert.

Just as Qimu was about to change the topic, Xue Libin suddenly raised his head. His face was blushing, but his eyes were shining brightly. With a hint of shyness, he said honestly:

"Fellow student Ye Qi, actually, it was during the poetry meet. I really like the poems you wrote …"

"In particular, the phrase 'to the only love lotus out of the mud, clear and clear, not evil, straight, do not spread out, fragrance, clean and clear, can be seen in the distance but not to play with.'".

"Because I like him, I'm very curious about what kind of person Ye Qi is. "And what kind of people would need to produce such a noble poem …"

Qimu looked at Xue Libin's embarrassed expression and couldn't help smiling. Her laughter was a little hoarse, but it was pleasant to the ear due to the pure joy that came from the bottom of her heart.

She looked at Xue Libin as the dark clouds scattered and sunlight shone. She had underestimated the allure of a famous poem to a scholar. Qimu had taken away a large part of her guard as she joked,

"So that's how it is. I thought Student Xue had recognized the wrong person and mistook me for someone else. That's why you treated me like this."

"Or perhaps, you have some hidden motive!"

Xue Libin followed the voice and wanted to explain that he really had no other reason. It was just that he felt that Qimu was someone who shared the same goals as him and wanted to get to know him.

When he raised his head, he inadvertently saw Qimu's simple yet moving smile. Her clear and bright eyes instantly grabbed onto his eyes and his heart.

He had never seen such a person. He was disheveled, he was in a sorry state, and what he was eating was not the delicacies of a mountain and a sea, yet he was smiling so innocently.

Although she was gifted by the heavens and had astonishing talent, she wasn't even ten years old, and was indeed a child.

As Xue Libin thought about this, he suddenly looked into Qimu's eyes. He didn't know what to say and stammered as if he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"I... No... "It's not …"

Upon seeing this, Qimu bent forward and lightly patted his shoulder. It could be considered a friendly consolation and goodwill. Staring at him with a smile on her face, she said in a clear voice:

"I'm just joking, Student Xue."

"Student Xue, I'm also very happy to meet you."

"You are only … "Hmm …" Zhu Xu... My first friend outside of Nessus. "

"Sort of?" We have a favor to offer to you and a meal to you, right?
