Ji Qing glanced at Chu Boyang, not knowing what to say.

However, there was nothing wrong with Ji Fengmian after that.

They ate cake and drank coffee. Occasionally, they would ask about the two of them.

Other than the stinging words she said at the start, she was so normal that no one could find fault with her.

If there was anything to say, it would be that she had put down her phone a few times.

However, both Ji Qing and Chu Boyang felt that something was amiss.

You come here often?

Chu Boyang looked at the cake in front of her and said calmly.

Ji Fengmian pursed his lips. Yes.

This place is indeed not bad.

Ji Fengmian took a sip of coffee and leaned back in his chair. Yes.

Chu Boyang pursed his lips and the atmosphere fell silent.

Ji Qing looked at him worriedly.

All these years, he had always been the one who disdained others, let alone taking the initiative to talk to anyone.

She could tell that he had been actively trying to find a topic to talk to Ji Fengmian in an attempt to ease their relations.h.i.+p.

Although Ji Fengmian was sitting with them now, how many people could know her thoughts?

The misunderstanding that happened back then seemed to have been resolved. The two of them were still the same as usual, but Ji Fengmian had yet to forgive her.

Just like now, she was sitting in front of them, but they felt like they were worlds apart.

She was really curious if Ji Fengmian would really like someone.

If there was, what would she be like and what could she do?

She really wanted to see it.

She just didnt know who that person would be.

Ji Fengmians phone rang. She didnt answer but got up first.

You guys continue. I have something on, so Ill get going.

She pulled out a chair and answered the call.

Chu Boyang stood up and grabbed Ji Fengmians wrist.

Ji Fengmian pressed his phone to his ear and looked at Chu Boyang. Is there anything else?

Chu Boyang stared at her for a while. Where are you going?

Lets go home.

Chu Jings figure landed beside her.

He watched as Chu Boyang held Ji Fengmians hand and turned his gaze to him. Is there anything else?

She subconsciously tightened her grip on Ji Fengmians hand.

Ji Fengmian retracted his hand and put down his phone.

He should be fine.

Ji Qing only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Ji Fengmian get into the car and leave.

Shes still the same.

Chu Boyan said nothing.

Ji Fengmian sat in the car with a calm expression.

Chu Jing glanced at her more than ten times in less than five minutes.

Do you want to go to the ophthalmology department?

Chu Jing looked at the road ahead with a constipated expression. Dont you have anything to say? You havent spoken for two months and you suddenly want to have dessert and coffee today? What are you thinking?

Ji Fengmian lowered his head and swiped his phone screen. Theyre treating.

The corners of Chu Jings eyes twitched. Youre doing this just to take advantage of me?

She said, Am I that cheap?

Then tell me your reason.

Annoying.

Chu Jing nodded. This reason was very similar to Ji Fengmian.

Back then, they were all children who had just turned ten years old. There was no need to be calculative with her or them

Ji Fengmian was a little impatient. If you continue to spout nonsense, why dont you jump out of the car and commit suicide?

Chu Jing gripped the steering wheel tightly. That wont do.

She went to school as usual and did not deliberately keep a distance from Chu Boyang.

She didnt mind, but Chu Boyan wouldnt allow it.

Chu Boyang stared at her intently.

Any boy who approached her would be killed by him without her noticing.

Over time, the two of them gave everyone the illusion that they were already together.

When such rumors reached Ji Fengmians ears, the first thing he felt was absurd.

Dating Chu Boyang?

When they arrived at the canteen for lunch, Ji Fengmian ignored Ji Qing and said to Chu Boyang,

I heard that were dating?

Ji Qing was stunned for a moment. She turned to look at Chu Boyang and stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth.

Chu Boyang looked at her calmly. Isnt your reflex a little too long?

Ji Fengmian paused. When did this happen?

Ji Fengmians gaze landed on Ji Qing. Its obvious that this is a misunderstanding. Dont think too much.

She didnt have that much time to deal with a love rival.

Ji Qing opened her mouth to say something, but Chu Boyang put down his chopsticks.

Ji Fengmian stared into his eyes for two seconds before standing up.

I suddenly feel a little nauseous. You two eat slowly. Ill get going first.

Chu Boyans face darkened.

Before Ji Fengmian could take two steps, he was pulled out of the restaurant.

It wasnt until they reached the basketball court beside the canteen that Chu Boyang let go of Ji Fengmian.

The atmosphere between them was silent. No one spoke.

After a long while, Chu Boyang took a deep breath and said, You wanted to escape just now?

Ji Fengmian frowned. Escape? Why should I?

You know very well now.

Ji Fengmian fell silent for a while before nodding. Back then, I suddenly had a younger sister Ji Qing and she almost killed me. Now, I have a boyfriend for no reason and a love rival. Chu Boyang, do you think my life has been too good these few years or do you think Im not dead enough?

Whos your love rival?

Ji Fengmian tapped his temple with his index finger and exhaled. Alright, I was thinking too much.

Ji Fengmian, arent Ji Qing and I

Stop. Ji Fengmian reached out to stop Chu Boyang. Your relations.h.i.+p with her has nothing to do with me. As for the rumors, its fine as long as we know whats going on. I dont think theres anything wrong. If youre troubled, please let me clarify

Ji Fengmian!

Chu Boyan finally interrupted her sternly.

He stared at her deeply. Are you sure youre not playing dumb with me?

Ji Fengmian fell silent for a while before leaning against the railing and smiling.

Im pretending to be confused? Whats wrong? Are we really dating? Why dont I know? Am I being pursued by you openly, confessed to by you, or kissed by you?

Chu Boyang took two steps closer to her and stared at her intently. So after doing all of this, its considered a real relations.h.i.+p, right?

Ji Fengmian paused and went silent for a moment before continuing, When I first heard the rumor, I felt that it was ridiculous. Just the rumor alone made me feel that it was ridiculous, so I couldnt accept that it was true.

Why?

Ji Fengmian shrugged. Theres no reason. If I have to say it, its probably because Im too narrow-minded and cant really let go of the fact that we had a rift in the past.

After all if it werent for the fact that you insisted on connecting our childhood together, I would have severed all ties with you. I think Ive already been magnanimous enough to let bygones be bygones. If I were to get involved with you again, it would be hard on me

Chu Bo raised his eyebrows and his eyes darkened.

Clearly, Ji Fengmians words were not likable.

Also, I have to remind you not to use your guilt towards me to compensate me in this way. Dont think that we spent so many years together when we were young. The relations.h.i.+p between childhood sweethearts and those so-called love

Ji Fengmian was really honest.

She was so honest and confident that no one could resist her. She killed all the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

If these words were really a misunderstanding, it might become a joke.

However, the look in Chu Boyangs eyes in the canteen confirmed her confidence.

Chu Boyan was serious.

She didnt want to respond to his seriousness.

Who knew what was mixed in his seriousness?

In the end, when he reacted, she would be the real joke.

Moreover, she had no reason to respond to him unconditionally.

It wasnt that he could do it.

Do you want to continue?

Chu Boyang spoke.

Thats all. I think you understand what I mean.

Chu Boyang took a deep breath and closed his eyes in silence for two seconds. Then, his lips curled into a smile.

At the end of the day, youre still blaming me.

Ji Fengmian nodded. Yes.

Chu Boyang smiled faintly. Your personality is really not likable.

Indeed.

I understand.

Ji Fengmian looked at him. What did he know?

After that, he didnt say anything else, let alone how they should interact in the future.

But later on, he acted as though nothing had happened.

He was everywhere around her.

Their relations.h.i.+p had not been clarified, but it had not been confirmed either.

There was no difference from before, but both Ji Fengmian and Chu Boyang received confessions one after another.

There were all kinds of forms. Love letters, text messages, phone calls, and even confessions in person. Perhaps there was even a sense of ceremony. The methods of pursuit were dazzling, and the venue of the confession was determined

Chu Boyang had always rejected everyone who came.

Ji Fengmian was the same, but his patience wasnt good.

This time, Ji Fengmian was stopped in the canteen.

Looking at the bouquet of bright red roses in front of her, Ji Fengmians patience began to run out.

Chu Boyan stood beside her and asked calmly,

Are you planning to date now?

Ji Fengmian frowned impatiently. No.

Neither do I. But they dont seem to be obedient.

Ji Fengmian gave him a cold stare.

How many times had he said that he had no plans to fall in love?

These people seemed to be on steroids. The more they suffered, the braver they became.

Chu Boyang revealed a rare smile and pulled her to his side.

Weve been friends for so many years. Should we help each other now?

Ji Fengmian looked up at him and probed, How can we help each other? I dont think I can help you.

I have an idea. The success rate is above 99%. Do you want to give it a try?

Ji Fengmian narrowed his eyes and scrutinized him. What?

Chu Boyang glanced at the man standing not far away. The roses in his arms were dazzling.

Since youre curious, Ill take it that youve agreed.

Annoyed by his beating around the bush, Ji Fengmian raised his hand to get rid of him.

In the end, his other hand wrapped around her waist and held her tightly. A pair of cold lips landed on hers
