Chapter 1, if you want me to go with you, then I will go with you

Ji Shuqing waited as scheduled at the school gate

Ji Shuqing's expression became even more exaggerated, and she pretended to be displeased as she said: "Zhi Yan, are you cursing me?"

Thus, timid girls indeed cannot bear such panic

The bright sunlight silently flows over that striking face, with elegantly curved, slender eyes, a high and chiseled nose, lips of a rosy hue, brows that are sharp yet carry a hint of tranquility, and long, thick eyelashes. The features, exuding a cold elegance amidst their delicacy, are such that even the finest painter would find it impossible to fully capture them.

The sweet smile on the girl's face is captivating

However, in reality, she did not genuinely wish to follow in his footsteps and become better; rather, she wanted to remain by his side, as this gave her a sense of carefree bliss. He would always scold her while simultaneously cleaning up her mess, almost indulging her to the point of being unruly

Under the bright sunshine, the students who were originally gathered in groups tacitly made way for a path.

Ji Shuqing's heart trembled slightly

She firmly believes in Xi Zhiyan's words, as she had experienced the college entrance examination in the same way before

A few days later

"Given that you are so good-looking, I shall reward you with a little something," Ji Shuqing said with a bright smile, breaking off a piece of bread and holding it to its mouth. It did not hesitate to bite down and swallowed it in one go.

"Wait a moment." Zhuo Lieyang suddenly called out to her

And her final words echoed in his mind...

She quickly replied to him with a text message: "I am already on my way." Then she started to run forward.

When Ji Shuqing woke up, Xi Zhiyan had already vanished without a trace, and even the books on the desk had disappeared. She stood up in confusion and looked around the library in search of him, but she did not see him.

The Tibetan mastiff continued to look at her in that manner, merely extending its tongue to habitually lick its lips

It is said that many girls, when passing under the wisteria trellis, cannot help but fantasize that perhaps at some moment, a prince dressed in white will gracefully walk towards them from the end of the sea of wisteria flowers

The direction to the library passes through the fountain square of the school. Usually, there are quite a few people in this square, but when Ji Shuqing walked by today, she felt that there were noticeably more people than usual. Everyone was gathered together, as if they had discovered something astonishing, and soon after, someone in the crowd let out a scream

Ji Shuqing walked down the steps, pouting and feigning anger, saying: "You despicable Zhiyan, why didn't you wake me up when you left? Aren't you afraid that I would be taken away by someone while sleeping there alone?"

Zhuo Lieyang glanced at Anas, who was obediently squatting in front of her, and saw its pair of eyes eagerly fixated on the ham sandwich in her hand, nearly drooling.

However, gazing at the charming smile at the corner of the girl's mouth in the photograph, his hand gripping the newspaper could not help but tremble slightly...

This person is truly strange! Her previous fondness for Anas has also been extinguished because of its owner

Xi Zhiyan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing her say this, "Silly girl, taking care of you is already troublesome enough for me, I won't go looking for another trouble."

The bicycle carried two people under the wisteria trellis, with the youth in the front seat dressed in white, his attire fluttering in the breeze, while the girl in the back seat wore a radiant and bright smile, almost causing the vibrant wisteria flowers to pale in comparison.

Xi Zhiyan smiled gently and said: "Since you also know this is a misunderstanding, why bother with so much? The more you explain a misunderstanding, the more it seems like there is something to it."

Xi Zhiyan smiled gently, his eyes filled with a tender light. He reached out to ruffle her hair and said, "Little girl, don't worry. With me here, I will definitely ensure that you graduate with me. I have already marked the important parts in this book. You just need to review the content I have highlighted, and you will surely pass the exam."

Ji Shuqing stood in place, staring blankly at the Tibetan mastiff, unsure whether she was overwhelmed by its imposing presence or captivated by its snow-white fur

She blinked and pondered for a moment, then suddenly revealed a clean and bright smile, saying: "Zhi Yan, do you think you are living happily?"

Ji Shuqing looked at Anas and said in a pretentious manner: "So, your name is Anas, right? Remember, my name is Ji Shuqing. Remember my name, okay? I have given you all my breakfast, so we can be friends from now on, right?"

He stared intently at the handsome and delicate young man and woman on the screen, suddenly overwhelmed by an impulse to tear apart and destroy this scene

A scene of a flower-season girl being dragged away by a giant Tibetan mastiff is indeed somewhat bizarre and also a bit comical

Ji Shuqing took a bite of the egg tart, savoring its flavor: "I feel the same way! The girls in our class all yearn for love, but I don't. I think this is great as it is; having you as a friend who is both a mentor and a companion is enough for me. If only I could remain carefree like this forever, how wonderful it would be! I really can't imagine if one day a girl suddenly appears and becomes my sister-in-law..." I really can't imagine if one day a girl suddenly appears and becomes my sister-in-law..."

Xi Zhiyan could not help but smile: "Seeing you sleep so soundly, I truly cannot bear to wake you. Moreover, I only intended to come and go... Here, this is for you."

"That is how others are deceived by its appearance." Ji Shuqing said with a smile, as she playfully touched Anas's fur, "It is actually very well-behaved and adorable, isn't it?"

Because in the latest issue of the school newspaper, there are photos of you and Xi Zhiyan, and you both look sweet and happy, everyone is filled with various feelings of envy and jealousy

A cool breeze swept by, causing her light green chiffon dress to dance gracefully. The sunlight fell upon her at an angle, casting a faint sheen on her fair skin. Beneath her long eyelashes, a pair of eyes resembled the stars of the night, clean and bright.

She became even more puzzled, as Zhi Yan had never left her alone.

Anas seemed to understand his master's intention and immediately pounced on Ji Shuqing in a hunting posture

Zhuo Lieyang did not speak, but quietly stared at her lips. The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to smile, yet in the end, he still did not smile.

There is a hint of helplessness and a touch of sweetness in Xi Zhi Yan's smile. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Actually, I don't know why I am so good to you, this confused little girl. Perhaps it is a habit I have developed since childhood."

"I never had anyone pursuing me anyway, so it doesn't matter whether it affects me or not!" Ji Shuqing blinked, speaking as if it were a matter of course.

"Are you very concerned about what they said?" Xi Zhi asked lightly.

She wanted to push Anas away, but seeing his fierce expression at that moment, she immediately did not dare to confront him directly

He said lightly: "The exam is next week, you must study a bit, after finishing this book, you can read novels."

She looked at it with a cheerful smile, feeling very happy inside, and couldn't help but extend her slender, fair hand to gently stroke its snow-white fur a few times

I have heard that they grew up together since childhood; it must be a case of feelings developing over time

However, the girl before him did not evoke such a feeling of disgust in him

Zhuo Lieyang's handsome face was tense, glaring at Anas with a look of frustration as if he were lamenting the wasted potential. Every day, he pampered it with delicious food and drink, yet it turned around and was deceived by a piece of ham bread...

Ji Shuqing couldn't help but glare at him in both anger and embarrassment: "Why should I go with you?"

Although Ji Shuqing had only seen him once, that single encounter left an indelible impression on her, especially with the pure white Tibetan mastiff by his side

"Why do you feel that way?" Zhuo Lieyang squinted his eyes and gazed at her intently

She stopped in her tracks, gazing into the crowd with a look of confusion

As her words fell, she fed the last small piece of bread in her hand into Anas's mouth, and then affectionately stroked its snow-white fur

Why be good to her

Ji Shuqing curiously speculated about which special person could command such a grand presence that classmates would voluntarily make way for him

Thus, she stared intently at the path that had been cleared, eager to catch a glimpse of the grandeur of this prominent figure

Oh..." Ji Shuqing responded, but still appeared somewhat distracted.

Ji Shuqing glared at him disdainfully and said, "Are you using me?"

The surrounding classmates all watched with astonished gazes, yet not a single person dared to step forward to offer help

Ji Shuqing jogged over with a smile and unceremoniously sat down in the seat opposite him. In front of her were several books that were clearly her favorites, as indicated by their covers.

His entire body is either black or white, and his aura appears sharp and cold

It is easy to say, but if you have the ability, go pursue him and see if he pays you any attention

However, will this affect your future prospects of finding a girlfriend? Those outstanding girls will surely be hesitant to approach you if they know you have a rumored girlfriend

well-behaved and adorable

No wonder some female classmates can't help but scream; this Tibetan mastiff really does resemble a small lion at first glance. Moreover, with each step it takes, there is a sense of conquering the entire scene. Although it walks slowly and steadily, everyone feels that once it gets angry, it could definitely tear a person apart.

Upon seeing this text message, she finally remembered that she had made an appointment with Zhiyan to go to the library to study together in the morning. He must have been waiting for her there for quite some time.

Then I really cannot see what is attractive about Ji Shuqing

She is familiar with the breed of this "little lion"; it is a Tibetan Mastiff. When she was younger, she had seen such a Tibetan Mastiff at her uncle's house, but that one was nowhere near as large as the one before her, nor did it possess such a powerful presence

The sweet flavor spread across her taste buds, and a look of utmost satisfaction and enjoyment appeared on her delicate face as she sincerely exclaimed, "It’s really delicious! Would you like to have a piece?"

Ji Shuqing stood under the wisteria trellis, gazing blankly at the beautiful scenery before her, as if her soul had been captivated by the enchanting flowers

Ji Shuqing did not know that her words would bring about a tremendous change in her future life, for although Anas did not understand, its master Zhuo Liyang was deeply moved by her remarks

Zhuo Lieyang did not find her dazed expression unfamiliar; throughout his life, countless people had been captivated by his appearance upon first meeting him. He despised such shallow infatuation.

At this moment, from within the crowd, a snow-white "little lion" emerged, walking leisurely yet exuding an air of elegance and authority, its pure white fur reflecting a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight

Xi Zhiyan, riding a bicycle, smiled but did not speak

He was still wearing his favorite white shirt, sitting at the desk flipping through books. His quiet and ethereal demeanor seemed to isolate him from the world. The sunlight silently streamed through the window, casting a faint glow upon him, making him appear even more like an angel who had just descended from heaven

The girls around the Tibetan Mastiff all kept a distance of more than 3 meters, timidly gazing at its massive body, while only Ji Shuqing stood still in place without moving

She instinctively squinted her eyes; although the boy before her was surrounded by a strong light, it gave her the impression that he seemed to be from hell

"Anas?" A hint of confusion flashed across Ji Shuqing's face. When she caught sight of the Tibetan mastiff beside her, she suddenly understood and smiled as she said, "So its name is Anas? Why should I be afraid of it? Look how gentle it is, and it feels so nice to touch!"

"To put it bluntly, you are even closer to me than my own brother." She sat on the back seat of the bicycle, savoring a delicious egg tart while expressing her thoughts.

Under the bright sunshine, riding a bicycle, he, dressed in white, resembled a dazzling ray of light, creating a beautiful scene in the school

Seeing her staring at him unabashedly without responding, Zhuo Lieyang pursed his lips and gently cleared his throat, lowering his voice to say: "Did you not hear what I said?"

In a hidden corner of the wisteria trellis, a school reporter capturing news material in the school timely snapped these beautiful scenes. He then looked at the results of his photography through the camera, a satisfied smile curving at the corners of his mouth

"To speak frankly!" Ji Shuqing called out to him from a distance.

Ji Shuqing and Xi Zhiyan sat in a corner of the restaurant, having lunch while enduring the scrutiny of the onlookers. The gazes of those people varied: some were curious, some envious, some jealous, and others indifferent

However, what initially attracted Ji Shuqing to this school was not the beautiful wisteria flowers, but a boy named Xi Zhiyan

As Ji Shuqing was being pulled along by the Tibetan mastiff, she turned her head back with each step, yet she nearly gazed through the school gate, and Xi Zhiyan's figure never appeared.

She immediately beamed with joy, her eyes sparkling with brightness. She quickly took the egg tart box from his hands, pulled out a delicate egg tart, and began to eat it in front of him without any regard for her image.

Observing her reaction, Zhuo Lieyang's eyes dimmed slightly. He gazed at her and asked in confusion, "What would it take for you to be willing to come with me?"

She walked out of the library in confusion, and before she could descend the steps, she saw Xi Zhiyan riding a bicycle from a distance, heading towards the library.

However, disappointment was merely a fleeting moment; she quickly opened her pair of clear eyes, resembling black pearls, and affectionately asked, "Do you also like to eat ham bread?"

Such a presumptuous tone is truly difficult to accept

Ah ... ...

His gentle voice is filled with confidence and certainty

Xi Zhiyan could not help but exclaim: "Silly girl, your mind is filled with all sorts of whimsical ideas!"

Ji Shuqing blinked her eyes and said matter-of-factly: "If one day you have a girl you love, then you will only think about taking care of her and will no longer take care of me."

A series of purple flower spikes dance gently in the breeze, appearing from a distance like wisps of ethereal mist, dreamlike and surreal

Ji Shuqing gazed intently as he stopped his bicycle at the steps of the library. For some reason, just by looking at his figure, she felt an inexplicable sense of fulfillment and security in her heart

It is truly unexpected that the genius from the psychology department, Xi Zhiyan, would actually be fond of a girl like her

Even though Ji Shuqing was quite thick-skinned, she gradually began to feel uncomfortable under his constant gaze. She blinked and said, slightly embarrassed: "Is there something on my face..."

It must be that Ji Shuqing is pursuing him, as the saying goes, a woman chasing a man is like a layer of gauze...

"On what basis?" Zhuo Lieyang seemed to ponder for a moment, then said, "I would like you to accompany me."

Ji Shuqing was aware of the gap between herself and him, yet this time, she surprisingly got accepted into the same university as him, which was the most proud achievement of her eighteen years.

Anas did not know whether he understood her words; he simply stared at her intently, extending his tongue to lick his lips as if savoring something.

Although Xi Zhiyan had already highlighted the key points for her, she appeared to be several times more relaxed. However, she truly did not have an affinity for this type of book; after reading for a while, she began to feel drowsy.

"Aren't you afraid of it?" The one speaking to her was not the Tibetan mastiff before her, but rather a somewhat cold voice, devoid of any emotion, yet it caused a sudden tremor in her heart.

She was solely focused on teasing the Tibetan mastiff, completely unaware of a young boy in black who had stepped out of the crowd, squinting slightly as he observed her and the mastiff.

Ji Shuqing turned her head back with some impatience and stared at him, saying: "No way!"

Zhuo Lieyang let out a slight sigh, crouched down in front of Anas, stroked its fur, and in a low voice that revealed no emotion, said: "Anas, she said she wouldn't go with me, so I can only leave it to you."

Everyone who knows Xi Zhiyan will envision an exceptionally handsome face when they think of him, with exquisite features, beautifully defined contours, and a pair of eyes that are crystal clear without a hint of impurity. The corners of his lips are always adorned with a subtle, elusive smile, and he exudes a warmth akin to the first rays of sunlight in the morning.

After school in the afternoon

Ji Shuqing stared blankly at him, her pair of dark and clear eyes unblinking, with her hand holding the ice cream frozen at her lips

He never knew that a person could laugh so innocently, so beautifully

Zhuo Lieyang did not speak, but simply stared at her in a daze, his eyes shifting rapidly, seemingly filled with a mix of joy, surprise, and confusion

She set the book aside, feeling both sleepy and hungry, and leaned on the desk with a vacant gaze fixed on the tabletop, murmuring to herself: "I really want to have a cream tart..."

Ji Shuqing looked at her in surprise: "Is there a photo of me and Zhiyan in the school newspaper?"

Xiao Shuang nodded slightly

His attitude made Ji Shuqing feel increasingly uncomfortable. She furrowed her brows and simply turned her head away to ignore him

Ji Shuqing glared at that figure in anger, realizing that pleading with him was futile. She then shifted her gaze to the Tibetan mastiff that was biting her skirt and said tremulously: "Anas! I, I did give you a piece of ham bread, didn't I? For the sake of that piece of ham bread, please let me go, I beg you..."

No!" Zhuo Lieyang uttered two simple yet unrefusable words

Ji Shuqing pouted and said: "Are you using both kindness and power? You just said you understand me, and now you are giving me the book I dislike the most..."

He quietly gazed at her, standing before her in a manner that was so casual and natural, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world, while the majestic Tibetan mastiff wagged its tail and circled around his legs

As Zhuo Lieyang pressed the accelerator from the driver's seat, the luxurious yet understated silver charm gracefully sped away from the sight of the crowd, carving a dazzling and striking scene under the sunlight

In his hand, a delicate box suddenly appeared as if by magic. Upon seeing the packaging, Ji Shuqing immediately recognized that this was her favorite egg tart!

Habit?" Ji Shuqing furrowed her delicate brows and said thoughtfully, "You are accustomed to it, and I am accustomed to it as well. So what if one day our habits are broken?

He had just snatched this school newspaper from a boy without a word, as his gaze inadvertently glanced upwards, only to discover a familiar figure.

When she sat down in her seat, she heard the whispers of her classmates around her

She picked up a book that caught her eye and was about to read it, but just as she opened the first page, the book in her hands was snatched away by Xi Ziyan, who replaced it with a textbook.

Indeed, Zhi Yan understands me the best

He clenched a newly released school newspaper in his hand, gripping it tighter and tighter

After finishing their meal, the two individuals walked out of the cafeteria, agreed to meet at the school gate after class, and then waved goodbye as they headed to their respective classrooms

It intended to pull her to a place, and that place, without a doubt, was where its owner parked.

She screamed in terror, her face losing all color in an instant

Xi Zhiyan looked at her and smiled helplessly, his eyes still shimmering with a tender light of affection

She raised a face that was almost in tears, looking at the black silhouette not far away, and shouted loudly: "Hey! You despicable guy, quickly tell Anas to let me go!"

Ji Shuqing instinctively turned her head back and looked at him, asking: "What’s wrong?"

Ji Shuqing felt somewhat ashamed, as Xi Zhiyan seemed to be even more aware of her course schedule than she was herself

The students coming and going at the school gate seemed to have vanished, and in an instant, the entire world was left with just the two of them

Upon recalling that she had just eaten ice cream, she instinctively raised her hand to wipe the corners of her mouth, yet a small residue of ice cream remained in the middle.

Is that so? Ji Shuqing immediately responded with a smile as radiant and bright as sunlight, "Actually, I think you are the same. Although you appear cold on the outside, but... never mind, I will take my leave now!"

Only another figure in the photo appeared particularly striking; he slightly squinted his eyes, and a trace of a chilling aura flashed beneath his gaze

"No need, you keep it for yourself." Xi Zhiyan smiled as he glanced at the rear seat of his bicycle, signaling her to say, "Get on quickly, you have a class to attend soon, and you cannot miss this class."

There is no way around it; who could blame her for having a special fondness for furry animals since childhood? The moment that soft, fluffy fur glides across the palm, it truly evokes an indescribable sense of comfort and wonder

Indeed, Xi Zhi Yan is a very likable young man, regarded as a prince charming by most girls, and he is also her childhood friend. In contrast to her often confused demeanor, Xi Zhi Yan can almost be described as "perfect" in every aspect, whether it be appearance, intelligence, or character. His excellence is truly astonishing

Junmou slightly narrowed his eyes, and Zhuo Lieyang said in a deep voice: "I ask you, why are you not afraid of Anas?"

Zhuo Lieyang seemed unable to bear it any longer, and he extended a finger, gently brushing across her lips, then took out a handkerchief to wipe his finger.

Ji Shuqing looked at him, and the expression on her face could no longer be concealed. She smiled broadly and nodded at him, saying, "I know, I will watch carefully!"

Ji Shuqing suddenly felt a bit hurt, as it turned out that what attracted it to her was the breakfast she had not yet had the chance to eat

Upon hearing the myriad of discussions, Ji Shuqing's feelings became somewhat complicated. During class, her deskmate, Xiao Shuang, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "So you and Xi Zhiyan are really a couple. You used to tell me that you were just friends and like siblings. You really kept it under wraps, didn't you? Were you afraid that such an outstanding boyfriend would be taken away by someone else?"

At the same moment, under the wisteria trellis

Anas approached and took a sniff, then walked away with a lack of interest

Such a scenario had occurred before, but today, Ji Shuqing noticed that the atmosphere in the classroom was somewhat strange. As soon as she entered the classroom, everyone's gaze instantly shifted to her, and the expressions on their faces were quite peculiar

The corners of her mouth always held a faint smile, subtle and pure, as if no matter how dark the things around her were, they could not taint her.

However, he did not stop even for a moment, continuing to walk leisurely forward.

Zhuo Lieyang chose a secluded spot to sit down, while Anas lay at his feet in a feigned slumber, his snow-white fur dancing gently in the comfortable breeze

Ji Shuqing stared blankly at the young man before her, feeling an inexplicable aura emanating from him that instilled a sense of fear. It swept towards her like a chilling breeze, making her almost shiver.

At that moment, her phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. She recognized it as a text message notification, so she took out her phone and opened the message: "Shu'er, have you arrived?"

"But why are you so nice to me?" she asked curiously, tilting her head slightly

This is quite evident. Ji Shuqing said sincerely, blinking her clear eyes, "When everyone sees Anas for the first time, they are likely to be frightened by its appearance, as it creates a terrifying first impression. As a result, they become afraid of it and do not attempt to understand it or get close to it, thus missing out on knowing its merits."

Xiao Shuang was just joking, but Ji Shuqing couldn't help but furrow her brows: "Zhi Yan and I are just very, very good friends! He lives next door to my house and has taken care of me like an older brother since we were little! By the way, why are the classmates always discussing us?"

Ji Shuqing came to her senses, blinked her eyes, and said in a daze: "What did you just say?"

Ji Shuqing's eyes widened in terror as she instinctively stepped back, but how could she evade this Tibetan mastiff? She could only watch helplessly as it lunged forward and bit onto the hem of her skirt

However, she was completely unprepared for the fact that what awaited her was not a profound statement, but rather a young boy dressed in a black shirt

At the very moment she got on the vehicle, her heart, which held a glimmer of hope, was completely extinguished

A sense of oppression emanated from his body, while clusters of wisteria blossoms gently swayed in the breeze

It was not until the ice cream began to melt at the edge of her lips that she came to her senses, moved the ice cream away from her lips, and greeted somewhat shyly: "Hi, it's you, we meet again"

Xi Zhiyan looked at her face full of grievance and couldn't help but chuckle: "Although you have fortunately gained admission to this school, if you are unwilling to study, you can forget about graduating for the rest of your life"

For a moment, she forgot her words

After the Tibetan mastiff quickly devoured the bread in its mouth, it licked its lips and continued to gaze longingly at the bread in her hand

Anas is clearly a Tibetan mastiff that does not understand the concept of cherishing beauty, biting her skirt and continuously pulling her in a certain direction

These four characters placed on a large canine animal resembling a lion ... are truly bizarre

Ji Shuqing was eating ice cream, occasionally glancing in the direction of the school gate to see if that familiar figure had appeared.

At this moment, Ji Shuqing looked at Anas, and the more she looked, the more she liked him, her eyes filled with laughter. However, she had to speak up and say: "But I have to go now, my friend is still waiting for me at the library. I hope we have the chance to meet again in the future, goodbye"

Wisteria Academy

In fact, on that iceberg-like handsome face under the sunlight, a fleeting touch of warmth appeared, and then he slowly said, "You are the first person who thinks Anas is cute, just like I do."

Ji Shuqing gradually understood its meaning

However, when she clearly saw his face, a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes

"Break? Who can break it?" Xi Zhiyan couldn't help but be taken aback.

Ji Shuqing's smile grew increasingly radiant, resembling the blossoms bursting forth on trees in spring. As she fed it bread, she remarked, "You truly are a gluttonous Tibetan Mastiff. Has your owner not given you breakfast?"

She stood under the wisteria trellis, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath of the faint fragrance in the air, her lips unknowingly curling into a radiant smile

Alas, the sleep bug within her ultimately triumphed over the craving bug, and she soon fell asleep on her desk...

Xi Zhiyan, having no classes in the morning, accompanied Ji Shuqing to the classroom door. After watching her enter the classroom, he turned and left.

While waiting for others, she did not feel bored, for at that moment she was holding a fruit ice cream and enjoying it with great delight

Ji Shuqing took a deep breath, deciding that as a lady, she would not struggle with the dog, allowing it to pull her forward. Meanwhile, the young man in the black shirt had already opened the car door for her, waiting leisurely.

Ji Shuqing was completely frozen, staring at him in astonishment, and the ice cream in her hand suddenly fell to the ground

"If you want me to go with you, then I will go with you." Ji Shuqing slowly calmed her emotions, but her tone remained rather unfriendly, "I am waiting for someone and do not have time to go with you."

Xi Zhiyan's face was always adorned with a smile as she looked at her and said: "In fact, having a rumored girlfriend is not a bad thing; it should help reduce some troubles, and I won't have to rack my brains to reject those suitors anymore"

Ji Shuqing was taken aback for a moment, then raised her head to look in the direction of the sound.

Her voice paused for a moment, as if she felt she had said a bit too much, so she did not continue speaking. Instead, she smiled at him again and turned to leave once more

Xi Zhiyan stared at her blankly for a few seconds, his face filled with an amusing yet helpless smile. He picked up his chopsticks and tapped her on the head: "You little girl, really—why don't you worry about yourself first?"

When Ji Shuqing arrived at the library, there were not many students inside, and she quickly found Xi Zhiyan sitting by the window.

Seeing her look of utter shock, Zhuo Lieyang, however, appeared completely unfazed, looking at her with remarkable composure and saying: "Come with me to a place."

Ji Shuqing did not connect his words together for contemplation, but rather pondered over the two words "trouble" that he had uttered, her expression somewhat distressed as she mumbled, "Where have I caused trouble..."

In that moment, Zhuo Lieyang felt that her joyful figure running away was like a beam of light, the first ray of brightness to appear in his dim world

Ji Shuqing looked at his calm demeanor with some disbelief, as if nothing could affect him. She couldn't help but ask, "Don't you care? It seems we have been misunderstood by them..."

Xi Zhiyan was momentarily taken aback, then smiled slightly, and said with a hint of intrigue: "Now is just right"

Yet Ji Shuqing merely pouted in a feigned display of anger to express her protest, and the intimate interaction between the two appeared to outsiders more like the playful banter of a couple in love

Upon hearing her evaluation, the onlookers exchanged glances, almost wondering if there was something wrong with their ears

His movements are so natural and fluid

His hair, as dark as black jade, swayed gently in the breeze, with a strand of bangs casually falling across his forehead, exuding a sense of natural and unrestrained beauty; the unadorned black shirt accentuated his slightly slender figure, rendering it quite alluring, while he wore black casual pants on his long legs, with the only exception being the pair of white shoes on his feet

Xi Zhiyan found it somewhat amusing yet exasperating, and affectionately tapped her forehead with his chopsticks: "Silly Shu'er!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she withdrew her hand and stood up to walk towards the library. As she passed by Zhuo Lieyang, she gave him a slight smile and quickly ran in the direction of the library

Accustomed to taking care of her, accustomed to tidying up all her messes, accustomed to watching her smile, watching her make a fuss, watching her act cute

Is it because of her pair of clear and bright eyes? Or is it due to her recently affectionate and harmonious demeanor with Anas? Or perhaps it is her smile, which is even more radiant than the sun?

Noon

Ji Shuqing was clearly a bit restless, eating without any taste, feeling extremely awkward under the gaze of so many people

After speaking, he patted it three times on the back of its neck, then stood up and turned to walk in the direction where he had parked.

A tall figure stands against the light

She stared unblinkingly at the Tibetan mastiff as it slowly approached her, then stopped in front of her, slightly raised its head, and fixed its round, glistening eyes intently on the ham sandwich in her hand

Xi Zhiyan raised his handsome, fair face, smiling as he gazed at her standing on the steps, "Shu'er, are you awake?"

At that moment, she unexpectedly had the thought of wanting to reach out and touch it, but she restrained herself, as the Tibetan mastiff seemed to be quite interested in her as well, and was walking straight towards her

Xi Zhiyan turned his head upon hearing the voice, looking at the girl standing at the door, her smile radiant like blooming flowers. A gentle light shone in her light blue eyes, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly as she spoke in her usual soft tone: "Shu'er, come here."

So you went to help me buy egg tarts! Thank you, Zhi Yan

In contrast to her extreme discomfort, Xi Zhiyan remained as calm and composed as ever. He carefully placed a piece of her favorite braised fish into her bowl and smiled, saying: "Do not worry about those irrelevant people, just focus on your meal."

His gaze returned to Ji Shuqing, and he said somewhat uneasily: "No one dares to touch Anas"

As the name suggests, this is a college renowned for its wisteria. Every year in April and May, a splendid array of wisteria blossoms envelops the entire campus, transforming it into a vibrant and lush picture.
