Although Liu Mengyao and Su Qinghe did not speak, their expressions revealed a hint of fatigue.

Jiang Che reached out and patted Wang Kai on the shoulder, smiling as he comforted the others: "Alright, don't let these scumbags ruin your mood. We've achieved our goal anyway."

"How about this, let's move the celebration party from noon to the evening. Everyone can go home and rest to recover. I'll treat you to dinner tonight, and you can choose the place."

"Okay! See you tonight, Che-ge!"

After saying goodbye to Wang Kai and Liu Mengyao, Jiang Che took Su Qinghe's hand, hailed a taxi, and drove straight to the place where the two lived together.

When I got home and opened the door, a familiar and warm feeling immediately greeted me.

Jiang Che changed into slippers and stretched as he walked into the living room.

After running more than 40 kilometers, coupled with dealing with a bunch of messy things after the race, his physical and mental energy were completely exhausted.

"Go sit on the sofa and rest for a while. I'm going to take a shower; I'm covered in sweat and feel terrible," Jiang Che said to the girl beside him.

"Um……"

Su Qinghe nodded obediently, went back to her room to change into a fluffy set of pajamas, and then sat on the sofa in the living room with her knees drawn up to her chest.

The girl's bright eyes followed Jiang Che's retreating figure until he entered the bathroom and she heard the sound of running water. Only then did she reluctantly turn her gaze away.

Ah Che was really amazing today...

Recalling the moment Jiang Che crossed the finish line on the track, the girl's heart involuntarily quickened.

If it weren't for some disgusting people causing trouble, today would have been a perfect day.

Not long after, the bathroom door was pushed open.

Jiang Che came out wearing a loose set of casual pajamas, casually wiping his still dripping hair with a white towel.

Before he could even reach the living room, Su Qinghe, who had been sitting on the sofa, came running over in her slippers like a nimble kitten.

"Ah Che!"

The girl suddenly had a pink hairdryer in her hand. As she walked over, she waved it at Jiang Che, her eyes crinkling as she looked at him. "Shall I dry your hair?"

Jiang Che paused for a moment, then casually draped the towel over the back of the chair. "No need to bother, I'll just wipe myself down, it'll dry in a bit."

"No!"

Su Qinghe quickened her pace and approached Jiang Che, tilting her head slightly to meet the boy's gaze. Her eyes and tone revealed a stubbornness that left no room for refusal.

"Every time I wash my hair, you're the one who blow-dries it for me... I'm going to blow-dry it for you today!"

Jiang Che couldn't persuade her otherwise, "Alright, alright, then I'll leave it to you."

He smiled helplessly, and then, under Su Qinghe's "coercion," obediently walked to the sofa and sat down.

Once Su Qinghe was certain that Jiang Che had sat down and there was no way to escape, her pouting lips relaxed, and the corners of her eyes curved back into beautiful crescent shapes.

Then, carrying the hair dryer, she nimbly walked around behind the sofa, skillfully plugged it in, and turned it on.

The warm breeze, carrying the faint fragrance unique to the girl, gently caressed Jiang Che's scalp, gradually relaxing his tense nerves that had been taut all morning.

Su Qinghe's fingers were fair and slender, moving back and forth through Jiang Che's slightly damp black hair.

Blow-drying hair is a very simple and ordinary thing, but the girl looked very serious and moved her hands very gently, as if she was afraid of hurting Jiang Che if she was not careful.

Neither of them spoke; the only sound in the living room was the hum of the hairdryer.

As Jiang Che focused on enjoying his future girlfriend's attentive service, he silently remarked to himself, "This girl is getting better and better at taking care of people..."

If we can enjoy hair styling services now, then after the college entrance exams and officially becoming a couple, will we be able to enjoy even more...?

Jiang Che's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

With Su Qinghe's meticulous work, Jiang Che's hair was quickly dried and fluffy.

Su Qinghe unplugged the hairdryer, put it away, and then naturally sat down next to Jiang Che.

Two little hands naturally linked with his arm, and she rested her fluffy little head on his shoulder.

Jiang Che casually picked up the remote, turned on the TV, and randomly selected a comedy variety show to watch.

It's a popular outdoor variety show recently. Several celebrities fell flat on their faces in the mud while fighting for props, which made the guests on set laugh out loud.

Jiang Che put his arm around Su Qinghe's slender and delicate shoulders. Although his eyes were fixed on the screen, his mind was not on the content of the TV at all.

After a morning of life-or-death struggles on the track, coupled with the tense confrontation with Liu Wei in the infirmary, his mind was somewhat tired, but he couldn't calm down and was still thinking about many things.

Take Liu Wei, who suddenly appeared today, for example. Even without conclusive evidence pointing to him, Jiang Che still harbors deep suspicion and vigilance.

Of course, Jiang Che was thinking more about his future life path at this moment.

"Qinghe..."

He gently squeezed the girl's fair and delicate hand, preparing to get down to business.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Che?"

Su Qinghe was nestled in Jiang Che's arms, engrossed in watching TV, when she heard the boy beside her suddenly call her name. She turned her small face slightly to look at him.

Her clear eyes were filled with deep affection.

Jiang Che couldn't help but raise his hand and ruffle her hair, then lowered his eyes to meet her gaze. "We had planned to go to Peking University, and today I came in first in the marathon. So, the ticket to Peking University is pretty much in my pocket now."

Upon hearing Jiang Che mention this matter, Su Qinghe's mood, which had calmed down considerably, became excited once again.

She nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with joy. "Yes! A-Che was amazing today! I knew no one could stop you!"

In her mind, there was absolutely no reason why Jiang Che couldn't accomplish something he was determined to do.

Even if she is maliciously plotted against, her A-Che will definitely be able to turn the tide in the end.

"Yes, we got the special admission spot..."

Jiang Che reached out and smoothed the stray hairs falling from the girl's temples. "But I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I still feel that we need to reconsider our future plans."

Su Qinghe blinked, somewhat bewildered. "Reconsider? A-Che means... I understand, it's because of what happened on the track today, right?"

"Are you worried that you'll run into bad people in the capital? It's okay, we can just not go to the capital, find a quiet little place where no one can find us, and live a peaceful life."
