Partie 1

Some people, simply by standing there, become a beautiful picture, requiring neither movement nor words

Determined, she forced out a smile that appeared very kind, dragging her suitcase towards the boy. "Brother—" she tugged at his sleeve, calling sweetly, "I finally got to see you, brother. I was worried you wouldn't come to pick me up, but it seems I was just being overly anxious."

"You..." Chu Wei wanted to explode in anger, but upon reflection, he indeed had not claimed to know the location. "Then why did you... why did you take my suitcase?"

Chen Yihang quickly arrived and, upon seeing Qin Fei standing next to Chu Wei, was slightly taken aback: "Qin Fei?" He looked at Chu Wei in disbelief, then glanced at Qin Fei again, wondering how these two completely unrelated individuals could be standing together.

Absolutely not, on such a hot day, having him come out to help carry luggage would surely tire him out. When he is tired, he is likely to be in a bad mood, and a bad mood would lead to a negative impression of her. This would create a chain reaction, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, it is better to exhaust oneself than to let him lower his fondness for her

Qin Fei smirked and retorted, "Are you talking about yourself?" He cast a glance at the suitcase that had just been in his hands, and the implication was clear

The early autumn, ravaged by the "autumn tiger," continues to experience high temperatures, showing no signs of "slackness" even though today marks the new students' enrollment. The heat waves surge through the air, and before long, beads of sweat have formed on Chu Wei's forehead

Seeing Chu Wei take out her phone, Qin Fei smiled and asked, "Didn’t you say your phone was lost? It seems I have witnessed a new way of flirting today"

Is that so? Then I really need to think it over carefully, Qin Fei said suddenly after pondering for a while

As a promising young person of the twenty-first century, Chu Wei was absolutely unwilling to accept this fate. She deeply understood that if she were to drag this suitcase to the girls' dormitory, the consequences would be dire.

Qin Fei has never been a talkative person; even when he was fiercely glared at by Chu Wei several times, he still did not say a word. He simply stood there with his hands casually in his pockets, waiting for Fang Che to come over

You can understand it as my desire to have more time alone with beautiful women, which I greatly enjoy said Qin Fei

Is it really necessary to choose this person as a laborer? Chu Wei felt a bit reluctant; generally speaking, princes are only suited to live in fairy tales, and it would be better to spare them from being laborers

Chu Wei still felt a bit hesitant. What if he was waiting for his beloved? What if he rejected her? ... What if ... To bolster her courage and confidence, Chu Wei gazed affectionately at the suitcase several times, took a deep breath, and decided to make a brave sacrifice

After wandering around the vast campus for nearly an hour, she finally could not smile anymore, and the sweet call of "brother" could no longer escape her lips

Is she saying that this boy is a feast for the eyes

"Cut." After saying this, Chu Wei pulled Chen Yihang and left

In fact, this is not the time to discuss this; the crux of the issue is... She glanced down at her 26-inch suitcase, feeling a sense of despair. When she left home, her mother had advised her not to bring so many useless items, but to take only what was necessary. Yet, she insisted on bringing a whole pile of novels. At this moment, the old saying "Heed the words of the elders, or suffer the consequences" truly rings true.

Entering a prestigious university that many people look forward to is indeed a matter of great joy

Elder brother?" Qin Fei stiffly tugged at the corner of his mouth, unsure of how to respond

As the saying goes, "A woman pursuing a man is like a layer of gauze in between." Regarding the matter of pursuing someone, Chu Wei believes it is essential to take a slow and steady approach. Once the right moment arrives, when the conditions are just right, one can then indulge wholeheartedly.

Qin Fei smiled without speaking

Confucius said: Regret comes too late, regret comes too late indeed

She glanced at her suitcase, then looked at the hurried people around her, as if only he were idle. If trying to look cool and impressive counts as something, he must be very busy

"Alright," Qin Fei said dismissively as he scratched his ear, "If you think this is okay, I have no objections. Just know that if Roni calls me in the future, I won't lie and I won't help you cover up any lies. I've heard that she has been collecting information about you at a 'high price' lately. Why don't I make some extra money too? Tsk tsk, I really envy you for having such a loyal admirer."

Chu Wei finally understood what it meant to "lift a stone only to drop it on one's own foot" and inwardly cursed Qin Fei, asking, "Who is your wife?"

The answer is self-evident, it is certainly the case

Pfft, how is this possible? This boy has made her wander under the scorching sun for over an hour. She harbors nothing but deep resentment towards him. If she could, she would definitely transform into Sadako and crawl out of the television to scare him to death, no, it would be from the computer.

It is no longer important whether the child has said this sentence, because Qin Fei has already boarded a pirate ship from which there is no escape

In fact, you are tempted by beauty, which is why you are reluctant to let go. A small voice in Chu Wei's mind was shouting. She looked up at the boy she had captured, and his profile was incredibly handsome, resembling the perfect male lead from a romance novel. She suddenly thought of a phrase: the boy I love has the most beautiful profile in the world. This boy was not the one she loved, but his profile was indeed perfect. She suddenly recalled the phrase again: the boy I love has the most beautiful profile in the world. This boy was not the one she loved, but his profile was indeed perfect. If it weren't for Chen Yihang in front of her, she might have immediately opened her arms and said to the handsome guy before her, "Come on, hero"

"Hey, Qin Fei, say something! You're being really scary. Hurry up and give me a tongue-lashing, come on!" Fang Che kept calling out behind Qin Fei, "Qin Fei, don't be like this, I was wrong, I really was wrong. Qin Fei, slow down, you're going the wrong way, go east, east, no, turn left."

Following Qin Fei's line of sight, Chen Yihang? When did this guy change his orientation

"Put away your lewd gaze." As soon as Fang Che moved his eyes slightly, Qin Fei could tell what he was thinking, "And while you're at it, put away your lewd thoughts."

"Qin Fei, I swear that next time you get lost on campus, I will definitely not come to find you. You can fend for yourself on campus!" Fang Che threatened.

"Are you going to the girls' dormitory?" The other party accepted the suitcase without refusal and asked expressionlessly

Oh, then let's go back. Qin Fei did not refute this either

She has liked Chen Yihang since childhood; she has always had a fondness for the boy from the old Chen family upstairs. As she grew older, her feelings for Chen Yihang gradually transformed into affection and dependence. A significant reason for her admission to this university in the south is that it is the school where Chen Yihang studies.

Oh, I apologize. Chu Wei then realized that she was still intimately holding onto the other person's arm. She had been too engrossed in the moment and had not managed to pull away in time. Her face turned bright red, and feeling somewhat embarrassed, she stood beside Qin Fei, momentarily at a loss for words

"Hehe, brother, I know this is a bit heavy, but you are mighty and strong as an ox, so it should be no problem, right?" Chu Wei said with a hint of embarrassment, fanning Qin Fei with her hand like a sycophant, following closely behind him, her facial muscles having stiffened from smiling several times.

Such an explanation is utterly feeble. Chu Wei does not believe that she possesses the beauty to make the handsome man before her fall in love at first sight, nor does she consider herself the beauty he speaks of. The truth is simple: the handsome man is merely teasing her after realizing her intentions

Fang Che deeply regretted that if Qin Fei spoke a few more words with you, it indicated that there was still a chance for the situation to turn around; once he said nothing at all, it meant that the situation was very serious

Is there a brother in this world who wanders aimlessly under the sun with his sister and wife, refusing to reach their destination? Chu Wei cried inwardly

In comparison, Qin Fei is superior to Chen Yihang, but due to his lack of social skills, he is still somewhat lacking in popularity

So, is this a success

When leaving, my mother repeatedly instructed me: "Once you arrive, call Brother Hang and ask him to help you more. I have already spoken to him about this, and from now on, you two will help each other. Your father and I will be at ease."

"Yes, yes, I cannot find the location of the dormitory." She nodded quickly

After that moment, Qin Fei's thoughts returned to reality, and he felt that he had made a very wrong decision, which was that he had taken the junior girl's suitcase, attempting to take her to the girls' dormitory

Half an hour later, Chu Wei felt a bit dizzy. Although Q University is quite large, it shouldn't be so big that it takes half an hour to walk to the girls' dormitory, right

"No need, thank you." Qin Fei politely declined, his tone distant

Thus, she decided to find a "coolie"

She couldn't help but shiver, hurriedly turning her head away from him, surely she must not have had breakfast, which is why she was fixated on a boy.

"Indeed, brother," Chu Wei said sweetly, subtly wedging the suitcase between the two of them, ready to hand it over at the right moment. "I lost my phone and couldn't call you, but mom said you would definitely be waiting for me at the school gate early in the morning, and it turns out to be true. I knew you were the best brother." She was completely unaware that, in order to achieve her goal, she had uttered a grammatically incorrect lie.

Chu Wei did not know what words to use to describe her feelings. Did she want to see him? The answer was affirmative; she very much wanted to see him. Should she see him now? She was somewhat uncertain again. Did he really want to see her? Would he be willing to take care of her? Chu Wei did not know when she had become so fussy; it seemed that whenever it came to matters concerning Chen Yihang, she became very strange.

Upon hearing this sweet address, Qin Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, and a strange smile appeared on his face. He lowered his head to prevent Chu Wei from seeing his expression, and simply took out his phone to send a text message to his roommate Fang Che, which was straightforward: "Library."

Brother Hang

She regretted it

Qin Fei did not know what was happening, feeling a bit confused

Chu Wei turned her head to glance at Qin Fei. Despite being drenched in sweat and looking dirty just like her, he still stood there like a little prince untouched by dust, as if everything that had just happened was nonexistent. His eyes looked at her, bright and twinkling, resembling the morning star on the horizon. She had always found it disgusting to use such words to describe a man, akin to the clichés of a romance novel. At this moment, she could think of no other words that would fit better than these.

Indeed, indeed. Chu Wei nodded like a cute little pug

Is this a sugar-coated bullet? Chu Wei was uncertain, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Qin Fei, her hands clasped in front of her, simply hoping that he would not refuse

Aren't you my sister? With such a heavy suitcase, as your brother, I certainly have to help you carry it. Moreover, you even said that I promised to marry you, my future daughter-in-law. How could I possibly let you carry such a heavy thing? Qin Fei felt no sense of wrongdoing at all, and the smile lingering at the corner of his mouth appeared quite infuriating to Chu Wei

Is regret useful? The answer is no, she can only bear it alone

"Hmm, I understand," Qin Fei said lightly, nodding his head, his eyes glancing at the hand that was tightly gripping his arm. "Could you please remove your hand now?"

Is this Chen Yihang

"You are indeed going to the girls' dormitory, aren't you?" Qin Fei said this with a noticeable lack of confidence. He glanced around the school, roughly determining the location of the girls' dormitory. As he dragged his suitcase and prepared to set off, he furrowed his brow and cast a sidelong glance at the obsequiously smiling Chu Wei beside him. He finally understood why some junior girls would actively rush over and sweetly call someone 'brother'; it was all about the sugar-coated shell.

She has been deceived! She has fallen for a trick! Appearances are all deceptive! The more handsome someone is, the darker their heart; this statement is the truth

Qin Fei, do not think that using Roni can threaten me; let me tell you, it is useless! Upon hearing Roni's name, Fang Che trembled slightly, but as the saying goes, "Might cannot be subdued"; this time, he must regain a victory in front of Qin Fei

Looking at that smile, Qin Fei was momentarily lost in thought

However, Chu Wei felt very frustrated. She declined her parents' arrangement to personally take her to school and instead took a two-and-a-half-hour flight alone from City C to City Q, a distance of over 1,600 kilometers. This was her journey to pursue her dreams, and it was also...

The resources he painstakingly accumulated on his computer, the magazines he diligently collected by his bedside, he...! ... Qin Fei has never done anything wrong by his own hand, truly, all he needs is a glance, and it is over for him

She seems to be enjoying calling him "brother" from the side! Chu Wei lamented inwardly, "If you can successfully take me to the girls' dormitory, I would be willing to call you 'brother' a hundred times, but is it revenge that you keep making me spin in circles? Is it? Is it?"

Are you going to find Chen Yihang

She glanced up at the handsome man, who was silently walking under the sun while dragging his suitcase, not uttering a single complaint. Chu Wei thought for a moment and continued to walk silently behind him. Since he, as a laborer, said nothing about his hardships, she seemed to have no reason to complain or feel tired first

Struggling to drag the suitcase to the shade of a tree, she surveyed the surroundings and finally fixed her gaze on the nearest boy to her.

The call was connected, and upon hearing the gentle male voice on the other end, Chu Wei immediately changed her tone, speaking softly to the person on the line: "Brother Yihang, I am lost on campus, could you come and pick me up? ... ... Okay, I will wait for you in front of the library building, thank you, Brother Yihang"

Of course, this is all a matter for later discussion

It is a pity that there are no "what ifs". Thinking of Chen Yihang, Chu Wei's lips curled up slightly. Although the boy she liked did not have the most handsome profile in the world, he was still the one she liked.

This new junior has a gaze "like that of a wolf or a tiger"; she does not seem to be an ordinary person. Did he really not mistake her for someone else

The moment she saw Chen Yihang, she forgot the fatigue and irritation brought on by Qin Fei; having someone she liked by her side felt like a gentle spring breeze, as the spring wind blew and blew

It is often said that not all who ride white horses are princes, but they do not mention that those who resemble princes may turn into demons at any moment! Had she known this saying earlier, she certainly would not have been momentarily deceived by beauty and placed her suitcase into this boy's hands!

It is difficult not to know about a single-minded person.

"Do you want me to take you back first?" Chen Yihang asked Qin Fei as he took over Chu Wei's luggage.

Chu Wei shot a displeased glance at Qin Fei and said, "Hmph, my taste is not so poor as to flirt with someone like you, okay?"

Hmm. Qin Feiyan nodded succinctly, which could be considered a greeting.

Qin Fei raised an eyebrow and turned her head, changing her expression as she asked her, "Why aren't you calling me brother anymore?"

After returning to the original place for the Nth time, Chu Wei weakly tugged at Qin Fei's shirt corner and asked feebly, "Senior, do you really know the way to the girls' dormitory?" If she remembered correctly, this was already the third time they had passed by the library building. If she didn't hold him back, would there be an unknown fourth time?

After several exclamation marks, Chu Wei glanced at the carefree Qin Fei and completely abandoned the idea of continuing to rely on this boy. With tears of frustration, she took out her phone and dialed Chen Yihang's number

"Qin Fei, do you know that your smile is quite disgusting?" Fang Che, who had rushed over under the scorching sun, was already repulsed by Qin Fei's smile before he could even steady himself.

Some people, simply by standing there, become a beautiful picture, requiring no movement and no words

"Brother, do you not recognize me anymore? I am Weiwei, we used to play together often when we were young. You even said that when we grew up, you would marry me and take me as your wife." Who hasn't been silly in their childhood? Who hasn't had one or two childhood sweethearts? Following the usual romantic tropes, there is always a line that can fit.

"Do you know what I am thinking?" Fang Che asked

Hearing this, Chu Wei felt somewhat displeased. Chen Yihang was clearly well-meaning, but why send a man back? Chu Wei cast an annoyed glance at Qin Fei and said, "Hmph, a dog biting Lü Dongbin."

She was already at a loss for tears, her sweat had long soaked through her clothes. "Brother, are you really sure you know the way to the girls' dormitory?" She fixed her piercing gaze on the boy in front of her. Under the scorching sun, his hair was matted together, sticking to his forehead, looking no less uncomfortable than herself. Chu Wei began to dismiss the thought that he was doing this on purpose.

"Did I say that I know?" Qin Fei retorted

Qin Fei and Chen Yihang are two extremes in this campus. Both are excellent students who are highly favored by their mentors; one is enthusiastic and sociable, while the other remains in his own world, indifferent to everyone, earning the title of "Ice Prince" from female fellow citizens. Qin Fei is not particularly concerned about this title, as he believes that others can call him whatever they like, and it is none of his business. Instead, his few "friends" often use this title to tease him, and they never miss an opportunity to compare him with Chen Yihang.

At present, Chu Wei is still unaware that she will eventually be stewed by others
