After browsing the world chat channel for a while, she found all sorts of strange theories.
Some people said that the former member of the Star River Grove was originally from the Lucky Fortune guild but was kicked out. Later, he founded the [Blue Wave Court] to oppose Lucky Fortune.
Others claimed that, in fact, the people from Lucky Fortune never took a fancy to him. He just used the name of Lucky Fortune to deceive others. He was chased and beaten by [Golden Coin] for two months before he calmed down, and now he's causing trouble again.
Unable to resist her gossipy nature, she privately messaged Qin Chengyao.
[Private Message] Reach for Oysters: Master, what's his relationship with you?
[Private Message] Fried Oil Cake: No relationship.
[Private Message] Reach for Oysters: If there's no relationship, why is he treating you like this?
[Private Message] Fried Oil Cake: Exactly because I don't know him. He wanted to join my team before, but I didn't agree. Then he bullied others in my name. I'm really annoyed by him.
[Private Message] Reach for Oysters: Oh... okay...
Next, Tea Egg and the others gave all the equipment and materials they got from the dungeon to Ji Siyue. It was just enough to help her leveling up her alt, so that it wouldn't be so difficult for her to play dungeons in the future.
After logging off, Ji Siyue logged in to her main account. She set it as a private account, not allowing anyone to add her as a friend or view her profile.
Somehow, she thought of Qin Chengyao again.
Ji Siyue took out her phone and opened the chat interface with Qin Chengyao, but she still didn't dare to send a message. Finally, she closed it and went to bed.
The next day.
Ji Siyue had no classes in the morning, so she carried her books to the library.
The library was crowded. After looking around for a while, she didn't seem to find an empty seat. Just as she was thinking about whether to go to the school's paid self - study room, her phone suddenly rang.
"Pikachu ——!"
The sound immediately attracted many dissatisfied looks.
She quickly covered her phone, lowered her head and apologized, then looked at her phone.
It was a message from Qin Chengyao.
Senior: Come to the sixth row in Area G. There's a seat here.
Huh? How did Qin Chengyao know she was looking for a seat? Did he see her when she passed by just now?
She walked over suspiciously with her phone in hand. Sure enough, she saw Qin Chengyao waving to her from afar.
When she walked over, Qin Chengyao picked up the backpack on the seat next to him and put it on the table. Then he pointed to the chair and motioned for her to sit down.
Ji Siyue looked around. It seemed that only here had two empty seats. There were none in other places.
After a brief moment of hesitation, she sat down. Then she took out a notebook and wrote a small note for Qin Chengyao.
"Did you come here very early? I couldn't find a seat just now."
Seeing the small note timidly pushed in front of him by Ji Siyue, Qin Chengyao couldn't help smiling.
After opening it and reading, he also wrote back to Ji Siyue with a pen.
"Yes, I came at seven."
His handwriting was very elegant, and there was a strong intellectual air between the lines. A fake top - student and real under - achiever like Ji Siyue could never write such beautiful characters.
Putting the two kinds of handwriting together, it was like the handwriting of a primary school student and a college student.
She felt so self - abased that she took out her phone and typed in the memo.
"You came so early? Did you save a seat for someone and got stood up?" After typing, she showed the phone to Qin Chengyao.
In such a crowded library, the only people who could save two seats were probably those who were saving seats for their friends.
After Qin Chengyao read it, he reached out as if he wanted to type, but then withdrew his hand halfway.
Just when Ji Siyue was curious if he didn't want to answer, he suddenly leaned his head over and whispered in her ear.
"I've been waiting for you."
For a moment, Ji Siyue felt that all the blood in her body was about to freeze.
Waiting for her? Was she sure she didn't have auditory hallucinations just now? How did he know she was coming to the library? Why did he save a seat for her?
A series of doubts filled her mind, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
"Th - th - "
Just as Ji Siyue wanted to ask something, Qin Chengyao suddenly put his long and slender finger on his lips, and then pointed at the others.
Ji Siyue understood that he wanted her to be quiet. She almost immediately wanted to type on her phone, but Qin Chengyao had already taken the phone to his right - hand side before she could, preventing her from using it.
There was nothing she could do, so Ji Siyue had to study hard.
Ji Siyue didn't have good academic performance. She just barely got into the school. She couldn't keep up with the others, so she had to come to the library on weekends to study more and stumble along to keep up with the learning pace of others.
Seeing that Ji Siyue quickly got into the learning state, Qin Chengyao also quietly stared at her.
He knew what question Ji Siyue wanted to ask just now.
It wasn't a guess. He had asked Bai Yu to ask Jin Zhiyan, and then he learned that Ji Siyue didn't have good academic performance and would come to the library on Saturdays and Sundays. That's why he came here early to wait.
Unconsciously, it was already noon.
Some people had gone to have lunch, but Ji Siyue was still immersed in a higher - mathematics problem.
Although she had cursed the difficulty of the higher - mathematics problem as "abnormal" several times, she still frowned and tried to solve it.
Since it was already noon, it was okay to speak in a low voice.
"Look here."
Qin Chengyao stretched out his pen and marked a key data on her scratch paper: "Try using this. Don't look at the other interference items for now."
Ji Siyue was fully immersed in her studies. Hearing what Qin Chengyao said, she subconsciously started to solve the problem with the data he marked.
Unexpectedly, it actually worked!
Ji Siyue was extremely happy. After throwing away her pen, she looked at Qin Chengyao in surprise.
Seeing his look of "the pupil is teachable", she was so happy that she couldn't help but hug his arm.
God knows how long this problem had stumped her. He just took a quick look and knew the solution! Wasn't that amazing?!
No... Why was she hugging Qin Chengyao's arm?
Wait, did she just hug him without even thinking?
— Which meant that she had acted like a hooligan again?
Ji Siyue was stunned. She slowly raised her head and just bumped into his smiling eyes. Once she got lost in them, it seemed that she could never get out.
She saw Qin Chengyao slowly lower his head and get closer to her.
Getting closer and closer. It seemed that he was about to be right in front of her face.
Ji Siyue didn't know how to dodge, and there seemed to be an impulse in her heart telling her not to dodge...
Just as she was about to slowly close her eyes, she suddenly heard a scream from afar.
