“Where is Mount Qi?”


  Qin Shu’s answer seemed to be within Jun Li’s expectations. Jun Li’s expression did not change. He only paused for a few seconds.

  “It’s quite far.”


  Jun Li’s voice was soft and had a trace of sadness.

  Qin Shu glanced at Jun Li curiously.

  Jun Li asked casually, “Are you going to Imperial College?”


  “Mmm,” Qin Shu answered. From his tone, it seemed like he already knew her test results.

  Jun Li didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he stared at the people on the track like he was looking at the scenery. But he also looked as if he was deep in thought.

  Qin Shu also looked towards the track field and saw that Ye Xue had already made it to Jiang Yu.

  Fu Tingyan and Jiang Yu couldn’t play basketball because they were both injured, so they were wandering around the field.

  Even so, a group of fangirls was looking at them from afar.

  Jiang Yu saw Ye Xue when she was walking over. He looked at her curiously as she walked in front of him. But she didn’t look up at him and didn’t say anything.

  Ye Xue tugged at the hem of her clothes. She didn’t know how to ask the question. She was struggling so much that her face turned red.

  Because Jiang Yu could not smile, he asked with a cold expression, “Do you have something to say?”


  When Ye Xue heard Jiang Yu’s impatient tone, she thought that he was in a bad mood. She raised her head and hurriedly asked, “Are your injuries serious? Yesterday, I saw that the corner of your mouth was bleeding. During your examination, did the doctor say anything?”


  After Ye Xue asked the question, she lowered her head again and continued tugging at the hem of her clothes.

  When Jiang Yu heard the question, he endured the pain from his wounds, waved his hand, and said, “I’m fine. How serious can my injuries be?”


  Fu Tingyan, who was standing at the side, thought back to the morning. Jiang Yu had said that his injuries were quite painful. But now he was putting on a brave front. Fu Tingyan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

  When Jiang Yu heard Fu Tingyu’s laughter, he glared at Fu Tingyan. “What are you laughing at? Don’t expose your best friend like that!” Jiang Yu thought.

  “I’m sorry, I couldn’t hold it in.” Fu Tingyan made a gesture to admit his mistake and turned around to continue laughing.

  Ye Xue looked at Jiang Yu and thought that his expression and words were somewhat inconsistent.

  Jiang Yu was afraid that Ye Xue would feel guilty, so he said, “Don’t think too much. Even if it were to be someone else, Xiao Qi and I will help regardless.”


  “I, I didn’t think too much. I just wanted to thank you guys. I really don’t have anything else.”


  Ye Xue thought that Jiang Yu had misunderstood her, that she might have ulterior motives. so she hurriedly explained.

  Jiang Yu said, “That’s good. There’s no need to thank me.”


  Qin Shu, who was sitting on the steps, looked at Ye Xue, who was on the field. When Qin Shu saw how Ye Xue kept her head down, she couldn’t help but sigh. If Ye Xue continued to act like that, other girls may steal Jiang Yu away. Ye Xue was not making any moves. She was slow like a turtle.

  Jun Li suddenly asked, “That girl, does she like that boy?”


  Qin Shu nodded. “Mmm.”


  “Is she confessing?”


  “No.” Qin Shu shook her head and didn’t elaborate.

  Jun Li looked curiously at the two people on the field and didn’t ask any more questions.

  After a long silence.

  Jun Li suddenly turned his head to look at Qin Xue. She wore her hair down. So from Jun Li’s angle, he only saw a little bit of her side profile besides her hair. “Do you have candies?”


  His voice was still very soft like a stream in a mountain, like the sound of water flowing slowly.

  Qin Shu turned her head to look at Jun Li. Jun Li’s purple eyes were filled with anticipation.

  Qin Shu recalled the hard candy in her jacket pocket. Fu Tingyu gave it to her this morning before she left.

  During this period of time, she had to beg him for candy.

  Moreover, she was allowed one candy a day. She was not allowed to buy candy on her own. If Fu Tingyu found out, she would be punished.

  Sometimes, he would give her candy at night.

  But he’d always be the one who ate the candy in the end.

  One candy a day. Qin Shu was a little hesitant.

  This was different from the last time. She didn’t have a whole bag of candy. So every single piece counted.
