The woman nodded, still quite surprised.

Ling Ziqian handed the gift in his hand to the old lady.

"No, no..." the woman waved her hand in refusal.

"Auntie, you must accept this. Thank you for taking care of my two younger sisters," Ling Ziqian explained.

"This is my job," the woman said somewhat embarrassedly. She also liked the gift in Ling Ziqian's hand. "Then I'll accept your gift with my own respect."

"Can I go upstairs now? I'll register."

"No need, no need. Registration is to prevent those with ill intentions. I trust you, young man. You should go up now!"

Su Mingxi and Dou Xiaorong smiled and thanked the older woman, then quickly went upstairs with Ling Ziqian in their arms.

Upon entering the dormitory, the air was filled with a pleasant fragrance. This is typical of girls' rooms, especially since this is a room shared by two girls.

Shen Qiaoyan was already looking around curiously.

Su Mingxi closed the door, and Dou Xiaorong hugged Ling Ziqian again, "Waaah, it's been so long, I missed you so much!"

"I want to wrap you guys in red bean paste buns too!" Ling Ziqian lowered his head and kissed the red bean paste bun's hair.

"Hehe, what gift did you bring?" Dou Xiaorong asked curiously, taking the bag from Ling Ziqian's hand.

Ling Ziqian smiled and handed her the bag.

Ling Ziqian put down his backpack and started moving around.

Outside are a balcony and a bathroom. On the balcony, the two people's clothes are hanging to dry.

Ling Ziqian looked up, trying to figure out which clothes belonged to Su Mingxi and which belonged to Dou Xiaorong.

This action made Su Mingxi both anxious and angry. She pulled Ling Ziqian into the dormitory and scolded him in a low voice, "You bad guy, don't look around like that!"

Seeing Su Mingxi like this, Ling Ziqian couldn't help but smile and pat her head.

The unused beds in the dormitory were piled high with books, showing that these two guys were working very hard.

Ling Ziqian sat down at the table and opened some notes. (The following appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-translated text: "Giant Pit, Ping-Pong Death.")

Worried that Ling Ziqian might see something strange, Su Mingxi hurriedly came over and quickly tidied up her notes.

She pulled Ling Ziqian to sit down on the bed, preventing him from getting near the table.

"You have a little secret?" Ling Ziqian looked at her with a smile.

"No, I didn't." Su Mingxi lowered her head in embarrassment.

Dou Xiaorong, having unwrapped her gift, jumped over.

She laughed as she betrayed Su Mingxi, "Mingxi writes in her diary every day. I secretly looked at some of them and found that she wrote about Ziqian and other things quite a few times."

"Dou Rong Bao, you're asking for it!" Su Mingxi was so ashamed she almost died. She waved her hands at Dou Xiaorong, ready to fight her to the death.

"I'm just stating the facts!" Dou Xiaorong giggled, hiding behind Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian quickly stopped the two of them from fighting and started chatting with them.

Shen Qiaoyan also sat on the bed, listening to Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi talk about their college life.

This conversation lasted all afternoon.

When they came to their senses, everyone was clutching their stomachs and complaining that they were hungry.

It was still drizzling outside, but no matter what, this was a girls' dormitory, and Ling Ziqian had to leave.

Shouldering their bags, the four of them went downstairs and left the dormitory, intending to find a hotel to stay in before going out for dinner.

There are numerous hotels outside the school.

Where there is demand, there is a market. It seems that many people are living a paradise-like life in university.

Having found a relatively large hotel, Ling Ziqian chose a family suite.

Now that they've made it through, Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi can't possibly still be living in the dormitory.

Upon entering their room upstairs, Ling Ziqian and Shen Qiaoyan put down their backpacks.

Ling Ziqian walked towards the restroom, and Dou Xiaorong, that audacious girl, followed him in.

After being apart for half a year, she was going crazy missing Ling Ziqian.

She embraced Ling Ziqian and kissed him passionately...

Chapter 415 We'll be siblings for life!

Red bean paste buns are such a tempting devil.

After giving her a passionate kiss, Ling Ziqian pushed her out of the bathroom.

When Ling Ziqian finished and came out of the bathroom, he saw that Shen Qiaoyan and Su Mingxi didn't look too good.

What those two just did? Even an idiot could guess!

Ling Ziqian blushed slightly. He scratched his head, smiled blankly, and led them downstairs to eat.

After sitting down in the restaurant and ordering their food, Dou Xiaorong told Su Mingxi something.

"Actually, Nanako also went to university in China." Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi both blushed a little when they said this.

When Nanako is mentioned to Ling Ziqian, both of them will recall that last night in Japan, when Nanako's voice never stopped.

Upon hearing this news, Ling Ziqian was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed, "I'll go see her when I have time."

“She’s back in China for the Chinese New Year now,” Su Mingxi explained. “In Japan, they celebrate the Gregorian calendar New Year. They celebrate the New Year around New Year’s Day.”

"I see. Then I'll go see her another day." Ling Ziqian nodded, feeling a little embarrassed, but he still said it.

When the three of them mentioned Nanako, they all blushed slightly.

Shen Qiaoyan sensed something was wrong and felt that something must have happened between them and Nanako.

But she didn't ask any questions and quietly drank her tea to the side.

After chatting for a few minutes, the waiter brought the food to the table.

During the meal, Ling Ziqian secretly observed Su Mingxi.

According to Yu Meiren and Cupid's descriptions, due to the disordered timeline, they encountered Su Mingxi from the future.

That guy was also a genius scientist who abandoned his emotions and spent all his time working in his research lab.

Judging from the current situation, Ling Ziqian is genuinely afraid that Su Mingxi will go down that path.

Ling Ziqian once expressed his ambition to Su Mingxi, saying that he would not allow her to get close to other boys when she went to university.

At the time, Su Mingxi said that she would study very hard so that she wouldn't have time for anything with boys.

Thinking back to those words from back then, Ling Ziqian feels a little scared.

Ling Ziqian took out his phone and sent a message to Dou Xiaorong, who was sitting next to him.

He told her to go back to the hotel with Shen Qiaoyan first, as he wanted to talk to Su Mingxi.

Dou Xiaorong once said that she wouldn't care about Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi being intimate, which is why Ling Ziqian was so bold.

Upon receiving the message, Dou Xiaorong smiled at Ling Ziqian, making him blush slightly.

He quickly sent a message to explain that it wasn't like that.

After dinner, while Ling Ziqian went to pay the bill, Dou Xiaorong told Shen Qiaoyan that Su Mingxi wanted to talk to Ling Ziqian.

Hearing these words, Su Mingxi was immediately confused. When did she ever want to talk to Ling Ziqian?

Shen Qiaoyan nodded in agreement, and the two of them picked up all the umbrellas and ran towards the hotel in a flash.

Su Mingxi was speechless. When Ling Ziqian returned after paying the bill, she punched him resentfully, knowing it was his idea.

Those two guys actually took the umbrellas! Ling Ziqian was both amused and exasperated.

It was raining at night, and there were no shops selling umbrellas around, but there was a coffee shop next to the restaurant.

The two entered the coffee shop and sat down in a corner.

The coffee shop was dimly lit, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was a misty, brightly lit night market.

At times like this, in such situations, it's a perfect time to sit down and chat.

Su Mingxi stirred the scalding hot coffee, adding sugar continuously.

She remained silent, waiting for Ling Ziqian to speak.

Ling Ziqian felt a little embarrassed and didn't know where to begin.

If Su Mingxi were changed now, and she wouldn't be doing research in a remote mountain city in the future, would Yu Meiren still meet her in the future?

Huan Yue reminded Ling Ziqian, "This kind of problem can be explained by parallel worlds. For example, if you go back in time and kill yourself, will your future self disappear? Obviously not. If your past self dies, how can there be a future self? If there is no future self, how could your past self die?"

"To put it simply, every time period actually exists in some parallel world. If you could go back to the past, you would actually be going back to a parallel world of a certain time period. The universe has countless parallel worlds, and there are countless versions of you and me..."

The theory of the Illusionary Moon made Ling Ziqian feel a little dizzy.

If we continue to dwell on this kind of thing, we'll probably end up exploring the fundamental questions of the universe.

Ling Ziqian interrupted the guy, saying that now was not the time to discuss such things, as long as it was certain that Yu Meiren would not die.

Su Mingxi was still stirring her coffee when Ling Ziqian reached out and grabbed her slender, fair fingers.

"You bad guy, don't grab my hand!" Su Mingxi raised her small spoon and glared angrily at Ling Ziqian. She was still upset about what happened between Ling Ziqian and Dou Xiaorong in the bathroom before dinner.

"Mingxi, you don't need to study so hard. Don't put yourself under so much pressure. You can go shopping or travel when you have time. Don't tire yourself out," Ling Ziqian said shamelessly.

Su Mingxi said with a straight face, "I'm not tired."

This guy is making it impossible for me to continue.

Ling Ziqian had a headache. He gave Su Mingxi an awkward smile, still holding her small hand tightly.

Feeling that he was a bit too far away from Su Mingxi, Ling Ziqian got up and sat down next to her.

Su Mingxi was extremely embarrassed by Ling Ziqian's shameless behavior.

She reached out to push Ling Ziqian away. There were many people in the coffee shop, and Ling Ziqian's erratic behavior made her very embarrassed.

Seeing Su Mingxi like this, Ling Ziqian gestured for her to wait a moment.
