noon.

Su Mingxi did not come to work part-time at the cake shop.

Her parents came back from out of town and changed the locks on their house. If Su Mingxi didn't go back, they wouldn't even be able to get into their own home.

After lunch, Ling Ziqian dialed Dou Xiaorong's number.

The phone rang for a long time, and Dou Xiaorong was reluctant to answer it.

Ling Ziqian recklessly rushed up the library to save Su Mingxi. What does this tell us?

When they were on the fifth floor, although there was smoke making it difficult to see clearly, Dou Xiaorong saw that Su Mingxi hugged Ling Ziqian and kissed him.

The man is affectionate, and the concubine is interested.

In the end, I'll just have to grant their wish.

Having made up her mind, Dou Xiaorong did not answer Ling Ziqian's call.

In the future, I should go to the cake shop less often and try to avoid contact with Ling Ziqian to prevent Su Mingxi from getting jealous.

After a while, the phone stopped ringing, and Ling Ziqian didn't call back.

See? He doesn't care about me at all. He gave up after not answering my calls even once.

Dou Xiaorong felt a pang of sadness. She lay down on the bed, rolled up in the blanket, like a wounded animal hiding away to lick its wounds alone.

A sound came from outside the room.

"Ziqian, have you had lunch?"

"Auntie, I've already eaten. Where's Xiaorong?"

"She's in her room. I guess the fire at the school must have really scared her. She's been listless ever since she got back."

"Then I'll go check on her."

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

Dou Xiaorong was already standing at the door, and she gently opened the door to the room.

Seeing Dou Xiaorong looking at him strangely, Ling Ziqian wasn't stupid; he naturally knew why.

Dou Xiaorong must have felt terrible about recklessly running to the fire scene before.

Of course, there are some things that cannot be said aloud; even if you understand them, you must pretend not to.

"What, you won't let me in?" Ling Ziqian scratched his head and smiled.

"What are you doing here?" Dou Xiaorong pouted and opened the door.

Ling Ziqian walked into the room and closed the door behind him. "We have an agreement, have you forgotten it?"

Dou Xiaorong thought for a moment, remembering what happened yesterday, "Give me a head massage? No thanks, you have ulterior motives!"

Well, I've been misunderstood quite a bit, but it's not exactly a misunderstanding.

Ling Ziqian scratched his head awkwardly, "I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about helping you lose weight."

"Hmm?" Dou Xiaorong was puzzled. Last time, Ling Ziqian said he would help her find information on weight loss, but to be honest, Dou Xiaorong didn't pay attention.

"Well, I have a friend I met online, he's abroad..." Ling Ziqian told a well-prepared lie.

"An online friend?" Dou Xiaorong asked curiously, "Male or female?"

“It’s a man.” Ling Ziqian nodded affirmatively.

Dou Xiaorong became curious again, "What do you two guys talk about online?"

Ling Ziqian was speechless, feeling as if an arrow had pierced his heart.

"Ahem, don't worry about the details!" Ling Ziqian coughed and pulled out a bottle from behind his back. "I asked him about some weight loss methods from abroad, and he sent me this."

"What is this?" Dou Xiaorong looked at the transparent plastic bottle filled with some murky liquid, and her scalp tingled.

Ling Ziqian revealed a mysterious smile, "This is a kind of slimming potion from abroad, you can't buy it even if you have money!"

Dou Xiaorong was speechless. "Ziqian, I think you've been fooled!"

"Absolutely not! I bought this for you at a high price. Just drink a small sip every day, and I guarantee you'll see results in a day. In a week, you'll become a slender lady!"

"No, if it were that effective, it would already be famous. What brand is it? Let me search it online."

Ling Ziqian felt a chill run down his spine, unsure how to explain.

Huan Yue chuckled, "I already told you, don't make it so complicated, just give her a glass of water."

Ling Ziqian was very troubled. "I said these things beforehand because I didn't want her to suspect anything, after all, the effect was too amazing!"

Taking a deep breath, Ling Ziqian smiled at Dou Xiaorong, "If you're worried about the danger, I'll take a sip first, and then you can drink, okay?"

Dou Xiaorong nodded; she still believed that the bottle was counterfeit.

Unscrew the cap of the plastic bottle and poured the beverage, which looked like an unregistered product, into his mouth.

The taste was strange, and Ling Ziqian frowned.

Huan Yue started complaining again, "I already told you not to mix all sorts of random drinks together."

Ling Ziqian swallowed the murky drink with a heavy heart. "I already said I didn't want to arouse suspicion!"

"You even put laxatives in there, huh? What will happen later..." Huan Yue chuckled, "I think I'll just go into hibernation first."

"...To avoid suspicion!" Ling Ziqian felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

Seeing Ling Ziqian reluctantly take a sip of the murky beverage, Dou Xiaorong felt a chill run down her spine.

Ling Ziqian, with a stern face, handed the plastic bottle to Dou Xiaorong and forcefully shouted, "Drink!"

Now that things have come to this, there's no escaping it. So be it. Ling Ziqian has already taken a sip anyway, so let's die together!

With a suicidal mindset, Dou Xiaorong squinted her eyes and drank a mouthful of extremely disgusting, murky liquid.

"Cough cough..." Dou Xiaorong coughed desperately after accidentally choking.

"It's okay, it's okay. You might feel a little uncomfortable, just like a caterpillar has to work hard to break out of its cocoon to become a butterfly." Ling Ziqian gently patted Dou Xiaorong's back.

He took the opportunity to use up 100 points of ambiguity, allowing Dou Xiaorong to successfully lose weight within a week.

"Who are you calling a caterpillar?" Dou Xiaorong glared at Ling Ziqian.

"Hehe..." Ling Ziqian laughed awkwardly, "My stomach might feel a little uncomfortable later, so I'll go back first. You should get some rest."

After saying that, Ling Ziqian left in a flash, of course, he didn't forget to take the strange drink with him.

When he got home, the first thing he did was go into the bathroom.

Ling Ziqian felt a churning in his stomach and was filled with resentment. It seemed he really shouldn't have disguised the slimming pills as something so complicated!

in the afternoon.

Leaving home for school, Ling Ziqian encountered the frail Dou Xiaorong at the entrance of the residential compound.

Dou Xiaorong is physically weak, and I estimate she suffered a lot this afternoon.

Ling Ziqian felt a little guilty. "Um, if you're feeling unwell, you shouldn't go to school this afternoon. I'll ask for leave for you."

Dou Xiaorong gave Ling Ziqian a resentful look, nodded, and turned to enter the residential area.

Huan Yue's laughter rang out, "I'm telling you, you're really too clever for your own good. You've made Xiao Rong suffer so much, she probably hates you to death!"

Ling Ziqian was embarrassed. "You have to think before you lie. I was actually worried about you and Cupid. If others discover my ability, you and Cupid will be in danger!"

Huan Yue stopped laughing. "I see. I was saying you were being unreasonable. I didn't expect you to think so far ahead. I'm truly sorry about mocking you!"

This guy actually apologized! Ling Ziqian was in a good mood. "Don't make fun of me all the time in the future!"

"That's hard to say. You're a total shut-in, a virgin, and you're full of flaws. I can't help but criticize you!"

"Hey, hey, hey..." Ling Ziqian was speechless. "Stop bringing up my virginity and girlfriend stuff to hurt me, okay?"

"Okay, I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm just trying to keep you company. Look at you, you don't even have a girlfriend, let alone a gay friend, so..."

Ling Ziqian collapsed to the ground, truly not wanting to talk to Huan Yue anymore.

Upon arriving at the school, Ling Ziqian went into Cui Qiuzhen's office and asked Dou Xiaorong for leave.

When Cui Qiuzhen saw Ling Ziqian because of what happened that morning, she smiled brightly.

The teachers in the office all cast complicated glances at Ling Ziqian.

After hearing about Ling Ziqian asking Dou Xiaorong for leave, Cui Qiuzhen nodded.

She smiled and said, "Ziqian, I'm very grateful for what happened this morning, but the school can't award you a certificate for bravery because you're still a student, and the school doesn't recommend that other students follow your example."

Ling Ziqian nodded, indicating that he understood; he hadn't rushed upstairs for the award certificate.

"Also, I'll pretend I don't know anything about your relationship with Mingxi, but you two shouldn't let it interfere with your studies. Keep a low profile, understand?"

"what?"

Chapter 66 No, the dream hasn't come true yet!

What does it mean to pretend you don't know, not to let it interfere with your studies, and to keep a low profile?

After a while, Ling Ziqian realized that Cui Qiuzhen had misunderstood!

Could she have thought that he recklessly ran up to the library to save his girlfriend, Su Mingxi?

Hey, hey, hey, this is a huge misunderstanding!

He did try to save Su Mingxi, but it wasn't because she was his girlfriend. It was because of the fire or something that had something to do with him!

Of course, this explanation cannot be spoken aloud!

Who spread this news?

Ling Ziqian suddenly remembered that when he ran upstairs and entered the library, Su Mingxi threw herself into his arms!

At that time, besides Cui Qiuzhen, there were three women and one man!

Even Cui Qiuzhen misunderstood, let alone those four classmates!

In addition, he had fought with Xu Jiachen for Su Mingxi, so it was hard for others not to misunderstand!

Seeing Ling Ziqian looking dejected, the old man with gray hair walked over and gently patted Ling Ziqian's shoulder.
