Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

The weather is getting colder day by day.

As the end of the semester approached, time gradually came.

Winter in Wuhan is not gentle.

When the wind sneaks in through your collar, it always instantly makes you a bit more awake.

There's a saying that goes like this:

Northern winters are characterized by physical attacks, while southern winters are characterized by magical attacks, and they even come with armor-piercing properties...

When Zhou Lian returned to his dormitory that evening, he casually hung his backpack on the back of his chair and said calmly:

"Cheng Yue dropped out of school."

The dormitory was silent for a second.

Lin Yuanzhou turned around in his chair.

"Drop out?"

Zhao Lin was lying on the chair playing on his phone when he heard this, and slowly raised his eyes.

"So decisive?"

Zhou Lian nodded.

The official explanation given is that he voluntarily withdrew from school for personal reasons.

"But the school must have put a lot of pressure on us."

Lu Xing simply smiled faintly upon hearing this.

Voluntarily withdrawing from school?

It's probably just a way to save face for him at the end.

With Cheng Yue dressed in designer brands, even if he dropped out of school, he wouldn't really be unable to make a living.

If you behave yourself after returning home and inherit the family business, you shouldn't have a bad life.

……

As the end of the semester approached, the atmosphere in the dormitory changed.

Lin Yuanzhou bought a bunch of notebooks and highlighters, and every day he sat at his desk, highlighting important points while groaning:

"Now I understand!"

"It's not that no one cares about you in college; it's that they settle all your sins at the end of the semester!"

Zhou Lian, on the other hand, has had far fewer part-time jobs during this period.

He used to come home very late, but now he tries to make time to study.

Compared to the other people's studying, the things on his desk looked much more outrageous.

Legal documents, textbooks, and printed materials.

Stacks and stacks of documents marked with colors.

The messy pile of things was almost forming a mountain on his desk.

Lu Xing glanced at it as he passed by and couldn't help but ask:

"Zhou Lian..."

"Are you preparing for finals or for a court appearance?"

Zhou Lian looked up, his eyes showing signs of fatigue, but he still managed a smile.

"I feel there's no difference."

After that rumor incident, Zhou Lian became quite famous in the courtyard.

Law school seniors sometimes deliberately come to him for help.

The teachers would also introduce him to some odd jobs related to legal aid, which is a unique form of work-study program in law school.

With some part-time jobs, he's now able to save a little money after deducting his daily expenses.

However, this extra money didn't come easily.

Because the daily tools section has finally entered the final stage of the first version.

After Lu Xing and Zhao Lin finished the most crucial part, the two who were originally busy working together became Lin Yuanzhou and Zhou Lian.

Lin Yuanzhou was in charge of operations and publicity, as well as some other miscellaneous instructions.

Zhou Lian was responsible for perfecting various terms and conditions and disclaimers.

When Lin Yuanzhou first opened the disclaimer written by Zhou Lian, he fell silent.

"Holy crap..."

Zhou Lian looked up.

"Um?"

Lin Yuanzhou spoke earnestly.

"I'm afraid to use your disclaimer."

Zhao Lin leaned over and took a look.

"Doesn't this look pretty good?"

Lin Yuanzhou pointed to one of the sections.

"Look at this sentence..."

"Users shall bear all consequences arising from the use of this tool, such as account abnormalities, device malfunctions, psychological disappointment, and emotional fluctuations."

"..."

Zhao Lin fell silent.

What exactly are psychological gaps and emotional fluctuations?

To prevent them from blaming us for the pity system after we pull a gacha pull, right?

Lu Xing smiled and shook his head.

Unfortunately, artificial intelligence is currently still at the stage of voice assistants from various manufacturers.

If AI rises in a few years, Zhou Lian won't need to go through all this trouble to investigate.

Many terms, statements, and agreements are essentially just a matter of giving a sentence to artificial intelligence.

even……

Lu Xing sighed softly as he thought about this.

By then, how much manpower will be needed for all of this?

Lu Xing snapped out of his thoughts and focused his attention back on the screen.

The competition was over, and the tool development was temporarily put on hold, which suddenly freed up a lot of his time.

However, Lu Xing was not truly idle.

While preparing for his final exams, he also took on many outsourcing jobs online.

The work isn't big, but it's profitable.

He could easily tell his family now that he no longer needs living expenses.

But after thinking about it, I felt it wasn't appropriate.

Firstly, the source of income is not stable.

Secondly, if they suddenly say they don't need living expenses anymore, the couple is unlikely to be pleasantly surprised, but rather worried to the point of losing sleep.

So Lu Xing didn't say anything in the end, and continued to receive his monthly living expenses as usual.

Even when his family was in financial difficulty, he could still afford to give them money.

……

That afternoon, neither Lu Xing nor Shen Qingyi had classes.

So the two of them agreed to have lunch outside the school and wander around a bit.

After the weather turned cold, Shen Qingyi put on the scarf.

She was wearing a light-colored sweater today, with a scarf loosely wrapped around her neck, and she looked neat and tidy.

When Lu Xing saw her walking towards him while standing at the school gate, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Shen Qingyi walked up to him and blinked.

"Lu, why are you staring at me like that?"

Lu Xing coughed.

"Look how pretty my girlfriend is."

Shen Qingyi was slightly taken aback, then her eyes curved into a smile.

"Oops~"

She deliberately dragged out her words and reached out to take Lu Xing's arm.

"Now she knows how to say nice things."

Seeing the girl happy, Lu Xing forced a calm expression.

"Just telling the truth."

Shen Qingyi reached out and poked his arm.

"Then tell me more."

"..."

Seeing Lu Xing fall silent, the girl shook his arm and said in a soft voice:

"Oh, tell me already~"

Lu Xing couldn't resist her coquettishness and immediately started brainstorming.

"This outfit is beautiful and suits your style perfectly today."

"Anything else?"

"Wow, she's also very beautiful, the epitome of a female celebrity!"

Shen Qingyi nodded in satisfaction and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Hmph, you pass!"

……

The moment the shop door was pushed open, steam and the aroma of soup rushed out together.

At the same time, many eyes instinctively looked up.

Although almost all those gazes were fixed on Shen Qingyi.

Shen Qingyi had already gotten used to it completely, and simply followed Lu Xing inside with a natural expression.

Although Lu Xing felt somewhat helpless, he gradually began to get used to it.

You can't block a 360-degree, all-seeing gaze on your own.

We can't expect girls to wear masks like celebrities every time they go out, can we?

Besides...

What if wearing a mask actually makes you seem more mysterious?

After ordering their noodles, the two found a seat against the wall.

Perhaps it was Shen Qingyi's presence that had an effect, because the owner quickly brought over their noodles.

"The noodles are here!"

The boss specifically reminded Shen Qingyi:

"Be careful, beautiful lady, it's hot!"

Shen Qingyi gave a polite smile and nodded.

"OK."

Lu Xing picked up his chopsticks, ate a bite of food, and drank a sip of soup.

Why didn't they just say, "Handsome guy, watch out, it's hot!"

When it comes to him, he becomes like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water...

Recalling his previous experience at the beef noodle shop, Lu Xing couldn't help but feel a little angry.

You bunch of vulgar people who only care about looks...

Damn, I'm never coming to this store again!

Meanwhile, at that moment, several guests at the next table were talking about a movie, and their voices drifted over intermittently.

"I'm telling you, that movie was really good."

"Is it that horror movie we talked about last time?"

"Yes, my partner held me the whole time."

"Anyway, you can't go wrong taking your girlfriend to see it."

"Are you really watching the movie?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xing's heart suddenly stirred.

It seems that he and Shen Qingyi have been dating for so long, but they haven't even watched a movie together yet.

"Qingyi".

Shen Qingyi's cheeks were bulging from eating.

She raised her eyes and mumbled a "Hmm?"

Lu Xing was charmed by her appearance.

Ok……

My girlfriend is just so adorable!

He coughed lightly.

"Should we go see a movie this afternoon?"

Shen Qingyi blinked.

She swallowed the noodles in her mouth, with a little soup still on her lips.

Lu Xing took out a piece of paper and handed it over.

Shen Qingyi took the tissue, wiped her mouth, and nodded with a smile.

"OK."

She tilted her head.

"So, what movie should we watch?"

Lu Xing took out his phone.

"Let me see what's available lately..."

He opened a kangaroo, just about to search.

Shen Qingyi suddenly remembered something and poked the back of his hand with her finger.

"Land journey".

"Um?"

"Do you see if there's a movie called 'Be With You'?"

Lu Xing looked down and searched.

A few seconds later, the page popped up.

"have."

"Although it's been out for a while, it's still showing in several nearby cinemas."

Shen Qingyi leaned closer to look at the screen, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.

Lu Xing noticed the pause in her expression.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips and shook her head.

"It's nothing."

She paused, then whispered:

"Well... I heard this one is quite tear-jerking."

Shen Qingyi raised her eyes, her tone slightly relaxed.

"What if I cry while watching this, and you laugh at me?"

Lu Xing couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Shen Qingyi immediately narrowed her eyes.

"See! You're smiling now!"

Lu Xing quickly waved his hand.

"No, no!"

He said helplessly:

"Sigh, you're already crying, why would I laugh at you?"

"If we really did that, even Satan would have to pull strings to get into my lectures."

Shen Qingyi was taken aback.

The next second, she burst out laughing.

"Then let's watch this movie!"

Lu Xing looked up and glanced around.

The nearby customers were all focused on eating their noodles, and clearly no one was paying attention to what was happening on their end.

So he lowered his voice and complained:

"What do you mean watching porn... this is called watching a movie, okay?"

Shen Qingyi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

She just stared at him with a smile, without saying a word.

Lu Xing endured her gaze and reluctantly finished booking the tickets.

Payment successful, ticket collection code popped up.

But Shen Qingyi was still looking at him.

After a while, Lu Xing finally couldn't take it anymore.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Shen Qingyi nodded obediently.

"Then I won't watch it."

She lowered her head and obediently ate a bite of noodles.

Seeing how honest she was, Lu Xing felt a sense of wariness.

Wait, are we just going to stop watching?

Could it be... that he's angry?

Lu Xing glanced at her a few times, somewhat suspiciously.

A few seconds later, the girl swallowed the noodles softly.

"Land journey".

Lu Xing's heart skipped a beat.

"Um?"

Shen Qingyi said slowly:

"satyr."

Lu Xing strutted up with a smug look on his face.
