If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

"I'm not short of money, you can have as much as you want."

Xia Ningqi frowned. "I'm not that kind of woman."

Ye Anran lightly licked the corner of her lips with the tip of her tongue. "Classmate Ye, I'm a girl, not a stinky man. You can rest assured."

This statement has absolutely no credibility.

"Miss, please stop making a scene."

Just then, a tall, well-built man followed behind. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked very refined, but his eyes and brows carried a hint of coldness.

"Qin Shiyu! I'm just here to make friends, can't you give me some personal space?"

"This is not a reason for you to harass others, and the head of the family has also said that you should pay attention to your image when you are out in public."

"Ugh, what a hassle."

Ye Anran didn't seem to like the man beside her, and her attitude towards him wasn't very good.

"You annoying brat! I'm going to fire you one of these days!!"

Men remain silent, even when scolded, their expressions unchanged.

Seeing that he didn't react at all, Ye Anran gritted her teeth in anger, then looked at Xia Ningqi and said, "Goodbye, Xia classmate. I will come to see you again tomorrow. I will treat you to a meal then."

"Um... I don't need to eat."

"That won't do. Now that we're friends, it's normal to have a meal together, isn't it?"

Before she could reply, Ye Anran waved her hand, "It's decided then. I'll go first, so this annoying person won't get in my way any longer."

Ye Anran is gone.

The man named Qin Shiyu bowed slightly to Xia Ningqi and her companion, saying, "I apologize to both of you. Our young lady was rude just now. Please forgive her and don't hold it against her."

"It's nothing..." Xia Ningqi waved her hand.

Seeing this, the man nodded politely, then turned and followed Ye Anran.

Only Xia Ningqi and Xia Ningqi remained around.

Qi Nan's teasing voice rang out at this moment, "Ye, you smell so good."

"Get out of here! Are you sick?"

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. But I didn't expect you to be so charming that even girls are so captivated by you."

Do you think I wanted this?

Even she herself didn't expect to suddenly encounter this situation.

I'm still a little surprised.

"But tonight finally ended perfectly," Qi Nan said, rubbing his stomach. "But I'm so hungry, I want to eat something."

"Let's go then."

"But there seems to be a Best Performance Award and a Popularity Award later, what if you get nominated?"

Xia Ningqi said casually, "I'm not interested in that title."

"Then all that effort was wasted?"

Xia Ningqi muttered, "I think it's enough that it wasn't a complete waste of time."

Qi Nan smiled faintly, "It's okay. Although I'm very hungry, I still have time to wait."

Xia Ningqi glanced at the time.

"There's still a long time before it ends, and I'm hungry. I don't want to wait. If you're not leaving, I'll leave by myself."

"Fine, I'll go with you then. After all, you're a girl, all dressed up so beautifully, it's not safe for you to walk alone at night."

...

at this time.

Lin Xiaoxiao witnessed the two's synchronized performance from the corner and felt like she couldn't breathe properly.

Just then, Ye Fan ran up to Lin Xiaoxiao with a bouquet of flowers. "Xiaoxiao, I prepared flowers for you to celebrate your successful performance."

"Brother Ye Fan...why aren't you going on stage to perform?"

I was completely taken aback by the question.

Ye Fan forced an explanation, "You know I've been very busy lately, how could I have time to perform?"

"Can you play the guitar?"

"Guitar...?" Ye Fan asked with a forced smile. "I learned some in elementary school, and I should still be able to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

Isn't that practically the same as not knowing how at all...?

Lin Xiaoxiao sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. By the way, hasn't your secondhand platform started making a profit yet?"

"Um... there's a slight problem..."

"A minor issue?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled. "What minor issue?"

"Today I originally wanted to do some formal promotional work, but I didn't expect that our project already has competitors, and they even started taking over the students on campus two weeks earlier than us."

"Then...won't that mean we'll lose money?"

This news was like a bolt from the blue for Lin Xiaoxiao.

The thought of losing the 100,000 yuan she had painstakingly scraped together instantly plunged her into despair, making even breathing feel incredibly difficult.

"It's okay... It hasn't officially started operating yet, has it? We still need to have some hope for our project."

"Really?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was almost in tears.

He spoke so casually, but he was the one who actually lost money...

"Don't worry, everything is in God's hands."

Even now, Ye Fan remains very calm because he has never considered that the project might lose money. This is the confidence of someone chosen by heaven.

Of course, the most important thing is that he himself didn't put in much effort, so he didn't feel much pressure.

"Hey, isn't this the Bragging Guy?"

"The campus belle of Lin University actually accepted flowers from the braggart? This is big news! I have to take a picture quickly and post it on the school forum. It'll probably be a hot topic tomorrow."

A few students passing by took out their phones and quietly took pictures of the two of them.

After preparing the copy, I posted it directly on the school forum.

...

On the way out of the school gate, Qi Nan slowed down considerably to match Xia Ningqi's pace.

The heels tapped on the floor, making a "tap-tap" sound.

Xia Ningqi still can't get used to wearing pointed high heels.

Although it looks nice, it's too hard on my feet. Every step I take makes my toes ache.

Qi Nan asked, "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"Anything is fine."

"Let's go to the food street nearby then."

Xia Ningqi did not refuse, but simply nodded.

The two left the school gate.

"Let's go, take my car."

"But it's only one kilometer, it's actually quite close..."

"Normally you could just walk over, but you probably aren't feeling well right now, are you?"

Xia Ningqi didn't argue back.

Going to the food street and then back to the apartment, a three-kilometer journey, would probably rub her feet raw.

"I should have brought a pair of flats..."

Xia Ningqi was unaware that she rarely wore high heels.

"Okay, you can wait at the school gate, I'll go get the car."

"understood."

"Good girl."

"The word 'you' is a bit redundant..."

Qi Nan took off his guitar bag and then put it around Xia Ningqi's neck. "Please keep this for me. I'll be there in a few minutes."

He didn't say much.

Xia Ningqi stood straight outside the school gate, becoming a rare sight.

In the waiting period.

Several boys across the street also noticed her presence.
