Ji Siyue entered Qin Chengyao's room and hid behind the door.
"First move the camera to the side," she said.
Hearing this, Qin Chengyao obediently did as she asked.
Then Ji Siyue walked over and turned off the live stream with a very strange expression.
Throughout the process, Qin Chengyao looked at her with a particularly teasing expression, making Ji Siyue wish she were blind.
After turning off the live stream, Qin Chengyao observed Ji Siyue's expression. "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Siyue covered her face and pouted. "I'm afraid that when I go live next time, my fans will keep harping on today's incident."
You know, after Ji Siyue lost to Qin Chengyao back then, for a whole month, she was ridiculed every day. Although most of the people teasing her were her own fans, she didn't quite like this feeling.
Qin Chengyao hooked his lips. "Just think of it as a bundled hype. It's not a bad thing for you."
Bundled hype?
Ji Siyue quickly shook her head and changed the topic. "Let's go. Aren't we going for dinner?"
After leaving the company, a gust of wind blew, and sand got into her eyes.
Ji Siyue instinctively dodged backward and happened to fall into someone's arms.
She looked up and met Qin Chengyao's deep, dark eyes.
For a moment, both of them froze.
Their gazes lingered, and the atmosphere became extremely ambiguous. Ji Siyue suddenly turned around and ran forward in a hurry. She randomly ducked into a Western restaurant.
When it was time to order, Ji Siyue felt embarrassed.
It was too expensive...
Even a simple steak cost over a hundred.
Although she was already a somewhat well - known streamer, she was now paying for her tuition and other expenses on her own...
As if seeing Ji Siyue's embarrassment, Qin Chengyao's voice, like an angel's, rang out in good time. "I'll pay."
God knows how touching this sentence was.
Then, Ji Siyue witnessed Qin Chengyao's extravagance. He casually ordered a whole table of dishes. Ji Siyue couldn't help but look around. Who ate Western food like this? People who didn't know better might think it was a table of street food...
Ji Siyue resigned herself to burying her head and eating. Suddenly, she heard Qin Chengyao call her name.
"Siyue."
"Huh?" She looked up blankly.
Qin Chengyao said, "You haven't changed at all. That's great."
Ji Siyue was even more confused.
Not caring about Ji Siyue's daydreaming, Qin Chengyao suddenly reached out his hand, elegantly picked up a tissue, and gently wiped the corner of Ji Siyue's mouth.
In an instant, Ji Siyue's face turned as red as a cooked crab.
She suddenly buried her head and continued cutting the steak and stuffing it into her mouth.
But her heart was pounding non - stop.
However, this flutter of the heart was still no match for Ji Siyue's forgetfulness. After the two finished eating and left the restaurant, just after saying goodbye, the next second Ji Siyue turned around and forgot what he looked like.
Ji Siyue was not convinced. She turned around and called out.
"Senior!"
Hearing this, the man's back paused slightly.
Then, he turned around and smiled.
"Hmm?"
"Never mind. Be careful on the way."
"Okay."
Ji Siyue turned around herself.
Tsk!
She still forgot.
Actually, it wasn't her fault. When she graduated from high school, she had a car accident. Her head was injured. Her memory wasn't damaged, but she developed face blindness. She basically recognized people by their clothes and Tian Cheng's reminders.
That night, Ji Siyue didn't go back to the dormitory. Instead, she went back to her rental house, logged into a new account, and practiced the operations of the warlock and the alchemist over and over again. She didn't go to sleep until two o'clock in the morning.
The next day.
"Ah!!! I'm late!!!"
Ji Siyue got up and washed up in a terrifying ten minutes. Without even having breakfast, she rode her electric bike and rushed towards school.
She had practiced too hard last night and didn't pay attention to the time.
This morning's Russian class was an open class with a lot of people. If she was late, there would be no seats left. And if, by bad luck, the teacher called her name, she would lose all the credits for this course for the whole semester!
Just as she ran to the door of the large classroom, she heard that bald Russian teacher shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Ji Siyue! Is Ji Siyue here!"
She quickly pushed open the door, stretched out her arm, and shouted.
"I'm here! I'm here, teacher!"
For a moment, Ji Siyue felt as if the gazes of all three hundred people in the room were fixed on her.
This feeling was even more terrifying than when she woke up this morning and found she was going to be late.
The Russian teacher put down the attendance register and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't come so late next time. Come in."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm sorry, teacher. You've worked hard."
Ji Siyue bowed and scraped, apologizing all the way as she walked. Some people were laughing on the way.
Her face turned red.
Another consequence of being late was that there were no seats.
She took a quick look. There were almost no empty seats.
Just when she was worried about whether she should go and sit on the steps at the back to listen to the class, she saw someone stretching out their arm.
"Siyue!"
Huh? Was that person calling her?
At the same time, Ji Siyue noticed that after that person called out, most of the female students in the room were staring at her, and their looks were not very kind.
Ji Siyue squinted and saw that there seemed to be an empty seat next to the person who stretched out their arm. So, without hesitation, she walked over.
When she got there, she found that this person was actually Qin Chengyao!
Although she couldn't recognize faces, Qin Chengyao's bag was so easy to distinguish. It was clearly a high - end brand, but there was a dirty, vintage Pikachu hanging on it.
For a moment, she hesitated whether she should sit down or not.
The Russian teacher was urging.
"Hey, you who were late! Are you going to listen to the class or not!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
There was no way. Ji Siyue had to sit next to Qin Chengyao.
She rummaged through her bag absent - mindedly and then found that she might be in trouble again.
The books in her bag were for yesterday's class. Since she didn't go back to the dormitory yesterday, she didn't get the books for today's class.
Qin Chengyao noticed Ji Siyue's predicament and voluntarily reached out his book.
"Let's share it."
"Thank you, senior."
Because Ji Siyue was a bit uncomfortable, she stiffened her neck while reading. Soon, her neck became sore.
Moreover, she found that when Qin Chengyao was beside her, she simply couldn't concentrate on the class! She always unconsciously paid attention to him!
Qin Chengyao pushed his book a bit closer to Ji Siyue and at the same time moved his body closer. His hot breath blew on her ear.
"Can you see clearly like this?"
Ji Siyue: "!!! "
Ji Siyue: "Yes, I can! "
Don't get any closer, please!
At such a close distance, Ji Siyue was afraid that he would hear her pounding heartbeat!
It took her half a class to listen to the class haltingly and get a general idea. Then, Ji Siyue finally got used to Qin Chengyao being beside her.
Suddenly, a very faint fragrance wafted into Ji Siyue's nose.
This smell... She seemed to be very familiar with it.
Faint sage, plus a bit of mint. It was very refreshing and would make people unconsciously think of a forest after the rain.
She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have smelled this smell in high school, but she hadn't smelled it for the next two years. Now that she suddenly smelled it, she felt quite nostalgic.
However, this smell was very faint, and she couldn't smell it very clearly.
So, she turned her head and sniffed all the way, moving closer in the direction of the smell.
A light - blue sweatshirt came into her sight, with a Pikachu painted on it.
Pikachu? There also seemed to be a Pikachu on Qin Chengyao's bag?
Wait, Pikachu?
Ji Siyue suddenly raised her head.
Her thoughts were suddenly pulled back many years ago.
