Xia Lin was completely stunned. Then, when he heard the system tell him that Qi Shang's affection value had directly soared to 65, the joy in his heart was about to overflow.
Qi Shang was still pretending to be calm, waiting for Xia Lin's answer. Xia Lin walked up to Qi Shang, stroked his head, and said, "I like you too."
Qi Shang gently removed Xia Lin's hand. "Don't touch my head. I'm not a kid." But the smile on his face couldn't be hidden. Qi Shang was really happy.
"From now on, we're lovers. Since I'm your boyfriend from now on, Xia Lin, you have to be more careful. Got it?"
Xia Lin asked knowingly. He found that he really liked to tease Qi Shang. Maybe it was because among these worlds, Qi Shang was the only villain younger than him. Although it was due to a wrong timeline, Xia Lin still couldn't help but regard Qi Shang as a junior. But from now on, they were lovers, and he couldn't treat Qi Shang like a child anymore. Moreover, in a few months, Qi Shang would turn 18 and become an adult.
Facing Xia Lin's teasing, Qi Shang still got angry easily. "You should know it yourself! You have to be loyal to me. Got it?"
Xia Lin nodded. "Yes, yes, I know. I'll be devoted to you. I won't have any thoughts about others. I'll only love you!"
Qi Shang stood up, his face blushing. "You're so cheesy when you talk. Really!"
Seeing that Qi Shang was about to go to school, Xia Lin shouted at his back, "We're already lovers. Why are you still so easily embarrassed?"
"Stop nagging. I'm not embarrassed! I want to eat barbecue tonight. Hurry up and buy the ingredients!"
"Don't worry. I'll go to the supermarket this afternoon!"
"Humph!"
Two days later, it was time for Xia Lin to start school. As Xia Lin's new boyfriend, although Qi Shang didn't say it, Xia Lin knew that he wanted to go with him to register at the university.
Longhu University was the best university in the city. Although it wasn't ranked very high nationwide, it was still a good key university.
"At least with your current scores, it's a bit difficult for you to get into this university."
Qi Shang looked up. "Who said I want to get into this university? Besides, even if I do want to, with my progress speed, not only can I get in during the college entrance examination, but I can also choose a good major."
Xia Lin nudged Qi Shang with his elbow. "What about choosing the same major as mine? My major ranks among the top three in this university and is quite good nationwide. You have to score 45 to 55 points above the key - university admission line to get in. Do you think you can do it?"
"Of course I can! Just wait and see. It's only one year and four months away!"
When Xia Lin went to register, he met some classmates he knew. After they greeted Xia Lin, they asked who Qi Shang was.
"He's my good friend. He came with me to register today."
After the friends left, Qi Shang was waiting for Xia Lin with an unhappy face. "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"
Qi Shang said, "We're clearly lovers, but why did you say we're just friends?"
Oh my god, little Qi Shang. I know you hardly go anywhere except to school, and you often ask for leave even when you're at school. But... "Don't you know that if I say we're lovers, I'll become a campus celebrity? After all, we're both guys. We'd better keep it a secret from those we don't trust!"
