"If... if I brought my boyfriend home, my aunt would definitely put him through all sorts of tests. She's my only family, and naturally she wants me to find a good partner..."

"Testing him in every way..." Jiang Tang nodded, agreeing with Liu Qingqing's statement.

In that case, I need to pay more attention to Lilith's mother's behavior and the hints and implications in her words.

It feels like I'm going for a job interview... Ugh... It's troublesome, but it's an unavoidable part of life.

Jiang Tang understood this very well.

As long as his feelings for Lilith are genuine, he will share all the troubles that come his way for the rest of his life, or rather, stand in front of her and shield her from the storms.

Jiang Tang began to let his thoughts wander, and Liu Qingqing also fell into a fantasy.

"..."

What would Chu Yun's mother's reaction be if she brought her boyfriend home...?

Liu Qingqing had never thought about this question before. Very few boys could catch her eye, and her usual social circle consisted mainly of her best friends and female classmates.

But Jiang Tang's reminder made her suddenly realize that girls her age had never been in a relationship...

It seems to be something that is not quite normal, or rather, something that is too far behind what other girls do.

Is the sky still a clear blue when you're a sophomore in college, at twenty years old?

As we all know, in school, girls who are left alone usually have two characteristics: either they are not very good-looking, or they are... too good-looking.

For humans whose genes are ingrained with a preference for good looks, the former makes them lose interest in pursuing something, while the latter makes them lack the courage to do so.

Without a doubt, Liu Qingqing belongs to the latter category.

An Hongdou could be considered one of the people who had similar experiences to her, but her mind was busy with the student council and school, which made her seem a bit naive and immature in her romantic feelings.

Liu Qingqing was the only one who was stuck in the middle, serving as the vice president of the student union. In reality, her daily work consisted mainly of supervising and slacking off; she didn't need to do anything substantial. When it came time to vote, it was her friends who encouraged her to sign up, and somehow, she ended up being elected.

It seems that as long as you have good looks, you can succeed anywhere.

This is yet another frustrating reality of human existence.

Having been alone for many years, Liu Qingqing must have thought that someone could be by her side.

This kind of fantasy has become especially frequent recently.

It seems that ever since she went to Yun Ma's house and saw her on a date with her boyfriend, Jiang Tang, this inexplicable thought began to entangle Liu Qingqing's heart.

At the same time, for some reason, Jiang Tang's image began to linger in his mind.

If I bring my boyfriend to meet Yun's mom, what will her reaction be...?

Perhaps she would be very happy. Yun's mother has always been very open-minded in this regard. From junior high school to college, she has asked herself many times if there were any boys in school who liked her. As long as she knows how to respect herself and be reserved, it is not a bad thing to have a pure love during her student days.

Whenever this topic comes up, Liu Qingqing always has a shy expression that says, "Who, who would think about such a thing?"

At that time, she really didn't think about it, because none of the boys in school could attract her attention. Whenever she saw her best friends or classmates walking hand in hand with their boyfriends on campus, she didn't feel envious at all.

But recently she has started to notice the numerous couples on campus, some of whom even openly kiss downstairs in the dormitory!

"How shameless!" Liu Qingqing thought. "If I had a boyfriend, I would definitely make a pact with him to keep myself pure..." Wait! Why am I suddenly fantasizing about having a boyfriend again?

Even more surprisingly, at this moment, a thought suddenly popped into Liu Qingqing's mind, leaving her momentarily stunned.

This thought was so terrifying that even Liu Qingqing dared not imagine it appearing in her mind.

If I were to take Jiang Tang to meet Aunt Yun, how would Aunt Yun react?

267 He belongs to me.

This is a very bold, even somewhat terrifying, idea.

But just as the most dangerous flower is also the most beautiful, it seems to sway gracefully there, waiting for someone to pick it, and one cannot refuse.

Putting aside the rights and wrongs between myself and Jiang Tang, regardless of whether our relationship remains as distant as ever or has become much closer because we are sitting at the same table today.

Whenever Liu Qingqing thought of the concept of "her boyfriend," she tried to give him a face, but no matter what she did, it remained a blur.

Even when using the faces of male leads from some of my favorite American or Japanese dramas, there's still a strong sense of incongruity.

At this moment, a chance thought, like fireworks igniting the night sky, rose brightly in Liu Qingqing's heart.

What if we tried Jiang Tang's face instead?

This idea had been lingering in Liu Qingqing's mind for a long time, but she just wouldn't go through with it.

Because Liu Qingqing was somewhat resistant, whether it was because of her past relationship with Jiang Tang or his ambiguous relationship with her aunt.

But if you dawdle for too long, even the thickest wall will develop cracks, giving someone an opportunity to slip through.

For a fleeting moment, Jiang Tang's image forcefully occupied the face of Liu Qingqing's "fantasy boyfriend." If anyone else's face were replaced, it would look like a mask, creating a strong sense of incongruity.

Jiang Tang's return was as if he were his true self, and Liu Qingqing was deeply shocked by his return.

You... how come you're so suitable?!

So what if you have a boyfriend-like face?

Liu Qingqing still refused to admit that perhaps it was for some other reason that Jiang Tang's face looked so suitable.

Instead, they stubbornly believed that Jiang Tang simply had a face that could be paired with any boyfriend.

More importantly, once Jiang Tang's face was on it, it seemed like it could never be taken off.

From then on, whenever Liu Qingqing thought of her future boyfriend, the first image that popped into her mind was Jiang Tang's face.

And if I continued to fantasize, what would my aunt Liu Chuyun's reaction be if I brought home a boyfriend who looked exactly like Jiang Tang?

Anger, hatred, sadness? Open... no, it's impossible to be happy no matter how you look at it!

Just imagining that scene is enough to make one feel heavy-hearted and breathless.

Liu Qingqing licked her dry lips and returned to reality with a slightly pale face.

Fortunately, this was all done in my imagination, and no one could know about it.

Since that's the case, I can bury it deep in my heart, and as long as I don't bring it up again, I can pretend it doesn't exist at all.

Jiang Tang glanced at Liu Qingqing with some concern.

"Are you... alright? Your breathing has been a little rapid since just now, and you don't look too good."

"Do you need to go to the infirmary? I... can help you."

Jiang Tang did hesitate. The plot of taking a girl to the infirmary has been portrayed so much in various works that it's become tiresome. In addition, it basically requires a couple who are mutually attracted to each other to go to the infirmary together.

Therefore, Jiang Tang had to hesitate because of Liu Qingqing's reputation at school and her impression on others.

He was worried that his "scumbag" status might affect Liu Qingqing's image.

In addition, his relationship with Liu Qingqing wasn't exactly good.

At most, they've become ordinary people who can talk to each other now. Before that, when Liu Qingqing faced him, she would glare at him with her beautiful big eyes, wishing she could get rid of him, the "male vixen" who had bewitched her aunt.

Therefore, contact between them naturally requires caution and a sense of distance.

If you're asking why Jiang Tang knew this, yet still sat down with Liu Qingqing...

I can only say that I didn't think that much about it at the time; I just went over to see a "familiar face".

"...It's nothing, thank you."

When Liu Qingqing spoke to Jiang Tang at this moment, her tone was unusually gentle.

Her eyes were dark and unfathomable, and for a moment she didn't dare to look at Jiang Tang or meet his gaze.

"Okay, the teacher is back. Let's continue watching the anime."

Jiang Tang caught a glimpse of the teacher returning to the classroom door out of the corner of his eye; it shouldn't be long before class started.

"Um... Jiang Tang, do you have any good anime recommendations for me?"

For some reason, Liu Qingqing suddenly took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Jiang Tang and asked him a question.

"Wow, you've become a two-dimensional person so quickly. This joy of harvest came a little too fast," Jiang Tang said with amusement.

"Ah? What joy of a bountiful harvest?"

"It's nothing, it's just a suggestion..." Jiang Tang thought about it carefully, considering that since Liu Qingqing liked anime like "Chibi Maruko-chan" and "King's Ranking" which were a bit heartwarming and touching, and since she was a girl, "Natsume's Book of Friends should be quite suitable for you to watch."

Putting everything else aside, this anime series has a really wide female audience, since everyone loves a gentle boy.

"Natsume's Book of Friends? I think I've heard of it. Hmm, I'll check it out."

The school bell rang as expected just as Liu Qingqing finished speaking.

The class also passed quickly. Watching anime was a fulfilling and interesting activity, and Jiang Tang and Liu Qingqing both enjoyed it immensely, accompanied by frequent discussions.

Liu Qingqing was surprised to discover that Jiang Tang was actually a rather warm and interesting person...

Of course, she had not forgotten his impressive domineering and assertive behavior when she arrived at her aunt's house and barged into his date with her aunt.

In short, the statement that the same person can have two faces in different situations is absolutely true.

get out of class was over, and it was time for the two strangers to part ways.

"If we meet again, it should be next week."

Jiang Tang said with a smile.

"Aren't you and my aunt going on a date this week?" For some reason, Liu Qingqing felt a bitter taste in her mouth as she asked curiously.

"Even if we're on a date, it's impossible for you to run into us every time."

Jiang Tang's response, however, was somewhat forced and helpless.

What kind of "attracting bees and butterflies" constitution does Liu Qingqing have? You're always at the "crime scene"!

Jiang Tang's words were no longer just veiled; he was practically telling Liu Qingqing directly not to come to the wrong place at the wrong time, but to see the right person and do the right thing!

Liu Qingqing was inexplicably angry, but she knew that her anger had nothing to do with the excuse she would give later.

"My aunt's house, the place I've lived for so long... Why can't I come here when you're here!"

“…That’s not the same thing.” Jiang Tang muttered to himself, but then he noticed that Liu Qingqing’s expression seemed a little off, so he quickly added.

"Alright, alright, don't be so upset. You're a grown woman, why are your eyes red so easily? I don't usually fight with your aunt, okay?"

Jiang Tang was also quite helpless. Seeing Liu Qingqing with her red eyes and biting her lower lip, other students might think that he had done something to the most beautiful girl in the School of Foreign Languages.
