Chapter 6

Ji Yanxin's driving posture is quite casual, with one hand resting on the window ledge and only the right hand gripping the steering wheel. Although it is not the correct posture, it is unexpectedly pleasing to the eye

Qi Nian let out a sound of "Eh," somewhat doubting his own ears

"J Province's J University." Qi Nian scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed: "My original first choice was Z University, but my father was reluctant to let me go to university in another region. However, during my senior year..."

Next comes the daily submission

After getting off the overpass and driving for a short distance towards the main street, I arrived at Professor Shen's home

Turn on Bluetooth and connect

After finishing a comic, Qi Nian often takes a long period of time to simply draw short sketches, allowing himself to rest and recuperate, and he rarely rushes to start a new project

City Z, located in the humid south, experiences somewhat unpredictable weather as autumn sets in

After changing seats, Qi Nian became even more reserved

Qi Nian nodded: "Yes. I have been admitted back to University Z for my graduate studies."

Should I place my hands in front of me, or should I awkwardly rest them on my knees, or just casually lay them on my legs

Her heart raced like a little deer, pounding wildly, driving her somewhat mad

Due to the fact that the pen name "Seven Cubs" is rather unrefined, the book titles went through several iterations, including "The Love Teapot of the Comic Master," "The Male God Pursuit Chronicles," and "A Love Story of a Seven Cub." In the end, it was Qi Nian who made the final decision to title it "A Beauty Should Cultivate Herself"

The car drove into the community and stopped in front of the building.

Just as she was tirelessly smoothing the hem of her skirt for the fifth time, Ji Yanshin, who was intently focused on the road conditions ahead, glanced sideways at her, casually picked up the phone that was on the console, swiped the screen, unlocked it, and then handed it to her

Liu Xia, you definitely cannot imagine whose car I am in now

She clicked the link, and a few seconds later, a crisp notification sound indicated that the connection with the car's Bluetooth was successful

"When bored, one can listen to music." He lightly tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, and the red light ahead began its countdown

When the phone in her pocket vibrated, she was so focused that it startled her

The interior of the vehicle is too quiet

It really is ... ...

The pit has been dug

Qi Nian touched her ear, lowered her head, and couldn't help but curve the corners of her lips— in the future...! ... in the future, she would also be able to see Ji Yanxin wearing a white lab coat, personally demonstrating experiments!

Qi Nian rubbed his arm, and every time he reminisced about the past, he always felt a chill in his heart

Qi Nian's gaze fell upon the meticulously fastened button on his cuff, and further down, it rested on his bony, well-defined hand

Well, the beauty is Ji Yanxin... she is the one who chased after the man in the桂舟...

Qi Nian: "... ... Oh."

"You have potential." Professor Shen chuckled twice and comforted, "It is not regrettable to study at University Z for graduate school."

I have not been hurt by anything; I have simply encountered my ideal man

Upon returning to the room, Qi Nian finally opened Liu Xia's text message

Only one signal is detected in the Bluetooth connection search.

After seeing off Professor Shen, Ji Yanxin did not hurry to turn around and leave. He held the steering wheel with both hands in a loose grip and turned to look at her: "Come sit over here."

Qi Nian, just imagine the scene of your male lead with his long, strong, and fair hands, intently observing a test tube... doesn't it make your heart race instantly?

By the time Qi Nian returned from cooking instant noodles, the Penguin account had already been poked to exhaustion by the support group's Seven Bears

Her sudden stop caused Ji Yanshin to be distracted, and he glanced at the rearview mirror.

Considering the context, it is not difficult to guess. The only person who can make Qi Nian, who is usually so composed, feel such youthful excitement at the moment is undoubtedly Professor Ji

Qi Nian watched as the changes in light slowly passed over Ji Yanshin's face, his eyes gradually becoming bright and profound. It was as if something had intruded into her heart without any warning.

She held the instant noodles, biting into the warm noodles, feeling a warmth in her heart.

Qin's mother caught sight of Liu Xia's name flashing across the phone screen. She tucked Qin Nian's loose hair behind her ear and asked, "Liu Xia hasn't been to our home for a long time. When will you bring her and Li Yue back for a visit? I will prepare a nice meal for them... They keep eating at the cafeteria, and they have turned into bean sprouts."

It is a text message from Qi Nian, consisting of two consecutive messages

At the red light ahead, Ji Yanxin slowly came to a stop, for the first time, gazing at her earnestly

The dark clouds obscured the sky and blocked the sun, and the golden sunlight was perfectly gathered behind the layers of clouds.

The vehicle has already entered the elevated road

Qi Nian watched as the number gradually decreased and let out a soft "Oh"

Professor Shen squinted his eyes, curious: "I just heard you say you are a graduate student in ancient literature?"

Out of sight, out of mind

What is wrong with bean sprouts ... ... '' Qi Nian pinched her little belly, glanced at the half-eaten cookie in her hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally stuffed the last bite into her mouth

The hand holding his phone remained stiff, yet his thoughts surged and churned, seemingly endless

He is afraid of being bored

In the past, when Qi Nian was still unaware of Ji Yanxin's existence, Liu Xia would almost flood the screen every day: "Qi Nian, our professor's fingers are so beautiful that they could be hand models, yet he has become a professor at the Z University School of Biochemistry, what a waste of talent..."

Well, compared to before when I couldn't even speak, this progress is indeed a significant breakthrough

Professor Shen maintained silence for a moment, but soon could not hold back. He turned to glance at Ji Yanxin, who was staring straight ahead, and then looked back at the quiet Qi Nian in the back seat, deciding to speak with Qi Nian to relieve the boredom

Liu Xia is staring at the petri dish

So I handed her the phone and let her listen to music through the car audio system

Where did you attend university before?

Therefore, after having dinner at home, Qi Nian did not have the time to fully enjoy the warmth of the harbor and boarded the last bus back to school to sleep

Then, Qi Nian posted a Weibo in the tone of an artistic youth, leaving readers in a daze for dozens of days afterward

Qi Nian did not know what he was thinking, but he nodded heavily and said: "Hmm, no regrets"

The air conditioning in the car is set to change the airflow, as it is autumn and the temperature is not very low

Wah wah wah, my girlish heart is bursting, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do. Covering my face and burying my chest.

She quietly glanced twice, feeling her ears heat up again

Qi Nian paused for a moment

Professor Shen cleared his throat: "Xiao Qi, where are you from?"

Qi Nian sat in the back seat, diagonally opposite was the silhouette of Ji Yanxin.

Liu Xia: "... ..."

Thus, the little angels were caught off guard by such a sudden attack from their big boss, not only the reader group and the support team, but the entire Weibo has already exploded

Although it is not like summer, on a hot day, there is bound to be a thunderstorm the next day to relieve the heat

Qi Nian sent a smirking emoji: "So it is, I was waiting for the bus, and then Teacher Ji was giving Professor Shen a ride back, and it happened to be on the way, so I hitched a ride... Then, Teacher Ji dropped me off at the entrance of the community and went back."

After some thought, Liu Xia reminded: "Do not become so engrossed in enjoyment at home that you forget your responsibilities. There is class tomorrow morning, and Teacher Ji does not appreciate tardiness"

Ji Yanxin withdrew his gaze, his hand resting on the windowsill grasped the steering wheel, and with his right hand, he turned off the air conditioning

After all, being cute is much easier than digging a pit

How was it taken out

Recently, when Qi Nian was reading, he happened to come across this line: "Beauty should be delicate and refined, I shall ride on a fragrant boat."

Liu Xia: "What is the situation with the picture book?"

Qi Nian had long since arrived home, lying in the embrace of his mother while eating cookies

Qi Nian suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing that he almost forgot about this matter

Liu Xia took off her gloves, said a word to Li Yue, and went straight to the living area to reply to Qi Nian's message, while also probing the situation.

Ji Yanxin paused for a few seconds before repeating: "Come sit in the front, I don't know the way."

Qi Nian bit her lower lip, feeling as if her heart was melting from the sweetness

She concealed the frustration and disappointment in her eyes and continued, "While everyone was diligently preparing for exams in the second semester of the senior year, I became infatuated with painting and somewhat neglected my studies, so I could only go to J University"

Qi Nian was momentarily taken aback, and only then did she realize that the "Little Qi" mentioned by Professor Shen referred to no one else but herself

More often than not, a sunny day will suddenly turn into a cloudy one

Qi Nian is someone who struggles with naming; just looking at her pen name "Seven Cubs," which she pondered over for a long time, one can tell. Therefore, after thinking for quite a while about a name, she ultimately had no choice but to seek help from the omnipotent little angels on Weibo.

Qi Nian unexpectedly glanced at him, her hand trembling slightly as she took the phone. She cradled it in both hands and, following his instructions, opened the Bluetooth settings.

I am a local of City Z, and apart from attending university in another location, I have never left City Z since I was a child

By the way, she can post some of the sketches she has accumulated on Weibo tonight, officially starting the serialization

She averted her gaze, unable to meet his eyes

The Yimeng Community is somewhat far from Z, and taking the bus is estimated to take at least 45 minutes, not including the waiting time for the bus
