Yi Congwen explained, but the more he spoke, the more Yang Qichao felt that this was regional discrimination.

"Senior Yi, this is not something you can talk about. Shanghai may have some strange imported goods, but most of its people are normal. Who has the time to participate in this event? Do you think you can get paid for taking a photo?"

"How is that possible? You have to pay to join."

Yang Qichao's pupils shrank when he heard this. He felt that what Yi Congwen said was a bit magical.

Wang Da kept looking back in the rearview mirror. As a native Shanghainese, his family had been in Shanghai before the founding of the People's Republic of China, but he still felt strange when he heard what Yi Congwen said.

But as a cyberdragon like Lao Shanghai, his family didn't have much money, at least not much to spend, otherwise he wouldn't be driving a car like the Emgrand, which costs less than 100,000 yuan. He had no interest in CityWalk or pour-over coffee, and even the clothes he lent Yang Qichao were ready-made from a clothing store.

But he had seen a lot of random things, and suddenly thought of the documentary he had watched before. Looking into Yi Congwen's eyes through the rearview mirror, Wang Da spoke.

"Senior, do you know Sapp?"

"Sapp? What's that?"

"I watched a documentary on a website a while ago about a strange street culture in Congo, Africa. Some people, though so poor they can't even get enough to eat, still take out loans to buy expensive, exquisite clothes. Their shoes must be polished to a shine, their scarves must be neatly folded, their hair must be perfectly done, and they dress themselves up every day before going out. They don't do anything else when they go out, just get together with other saps, like it's some kind of strange ritual."

"Aren't they working? Just sitting there watching?"

Yi Congwen had never heard of this and asked.

"No jobs. What kind of jobs are there in Congo? With those Ni guys' intelligence, what else can they do besides picking bananas? Do they have any real industry? Even if they do, what's left after removing the banana wine industry? You wouldn't even want to burn the garbage as fuel."

Yang Qichao frowned. He couldn't imagine such a strange idea and spoke in a less polite manner.

"You don't understand. Sapp has a philosophy. I dress up for life. They believe that dressing up is a responsibility to themselves. Compared to others who earn money to buy a house, they think their elegance is not just about appearance. Showing grace should come from within, or, as the saying goes, live today and enjoy life today."

“How to show it?”

"I'm going to dress up, but how else can I show it?"

“Isn’t that CITYWALK?”

"Well, that's about right. The spirit of living for the moment is very common in many tropical and subtropical countries. If you go to America, you'll find that most people with this trait are black and South Americans."

Yang Qichao just wanted to laugh.

In a short period of time, he accepted two things he couldn't understand. Both of them were worlds apart from his life and values, as if there were invisible mountains blocking them. He felt a deep sense of discomfort when looking at either of them individually, like some kind of uncanny valley effect on a spiritual level.

But when Yang Qichao discovered that this was not some strange isolated case, he quickly accepted it.

The car arrived at the affiliated ENT hospital, and Yi Congwen got out. The vibration of the car door closing slowly woke Qin Zhixin. She had just drifted off to sleep, and although her eyes were open, her mind was still unclear. Her almond-shaped eyes were half-lidded, her gaze blurry. Qin Zhixin turned her head and saw Yi Congwen get out of the car, waving at her from across the car window.

Qin Zhixin didn't move. She turned around, sat up straight, and spoke to Yang Qichao through the rearview mirror.

"Chaozi, do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

Before Yang Qichao could say anything, Wang Da got excited first. He keenly noticed the word "we" in the topic and thought Qin Zhixin was asking for his opinion, so he quickly replied.

"Classmate Qin, it's nothing. Brother Chao and I are both in exam month and have no classes. I'm just hanging out in the dorm, and Brother Chao might be going to the library."

Qin Zhixin ignored Wang Da.

She had just woken up and her mind was still not very clear. She was too lazy to flirt with the extras.

"How about we go to your library? I'm also in exam month and haven't finished reviewing for today's assignment yet."

Qin Zhixin yawned.

"That's fine, but I'm not sure if there's room."

"It's just memorizing, why do you need to sit down?"

Wang Da was a little anxious when he saw that these two people actually got on the same wavelength.

In his opinion, this beautiful girl, whose beauty surpassed that of a fairy, had finally come to Shanghai, and her saying that she and Brother Chao were going to the library was purely out of courtesy, but Brother Chao, a straight man, actually took her seriously. He glanced at Yang Qichao in the rearview mirror with a bit of resentment, as if Yang Qichao had ruined his beautiful day.

"Brother Chao, it's not easy for my sister-in-law to come here, can you at least show some hospitality? Classmate Qin isn't from Shanghai, so why don't you take her to the library when she comes?"

Yang Qichao finally realized what was happening. He had always been emotionally insensitive, but that was only because he was emotionally insensitive. Otherwise, if he had acted like a fool a few more times, Qin Zhixin would have considered him a stranger. But he had been living a repetitive life in Shanghai for the past few years, and the city's prosperity was nothing more than a few more lights shining at night.

He suddenly became speechless, but somehow thought of what Yi Congwen had just said.

"Qin Zhixin, how about I take you around the area? Do you know there's a popular place called CITYWALK in Shanghai? I'll take you for a walk around."

"Don't give me that. I just heard you guys talking, and it sounds stupid. I'm exhausted from the plane ride, who has the time to hang out with you on the street? Also, don't call me sister-in-law."

Qin Zhixin's tone was flat. When she wasn't pretending, her voice was still the same as before, a little childish, but with a hint of coldness.

This tone made Yang Qichao feel a little unfamiliar.

Qin Zhixin was still as beautiful as ever, as beautiful as a fairy from heaven, with a flawless beauty that was flawless and impeccable. But she had changed compared to the little girl she had been a few years ago. He couldn't tell exactly what was different about Qin Zhixin, but Yang Qichao felt that the beauty before him was a little unfamiliar.

It was gentle and familiar, distant and strange, like a spring breeze, clearly blowing in his face, but he couldn't catch it at all.

"Chaozi, what are you staring at? I haven't seen you for a few years. Why are you thinking about all these random things? And CITYWALK, you're quite fashionable."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Qin Zhixin turned her head, her pretty face showing both anger and joy.

"Ah? I didn't think anything of it. I just heard what Senior Brother Yi said."

"Don't listen to his bullshit. He's a complete wimp. He was telling me a ghost story in the lab and scared himself. Give me my backpack."

Qin Zhixin turned around, her voice tinged with laughter. Yang Qichao handed her a gray canvas bag from the back seat.

This bag doesn't weigh much, there's not much in it.

"What's in here?"

"Just review the materials. I'm not kidding, I have an exam too."

Qin Zhixin opened her schoolbag, revealing a stack of bound A4 papers.

"That's all? You're a biology major, I thought the test would be super difficult."

"It's difficult, but they'll make it easy. Combined with your regular scores, you only need to score 30 or 40 to pass. Just memorize the key points before the exam."

Qin Zhixin sat in the front, her smile soft, but it came from the heart. This was her favorite thing about college. High school was truly a case of hard work pays off, but college was different. College left a lot of room for fun for a slacker like her.

"Wait until Aunt Tang finds out about your grades and see if she'll be angry."

"Come on, I didn't fail the course! Besides, I've already been admitted to graduate school, so what if I just had some fun?"

"What about classmate Qin? I'm taking you to the library now. How about we go out and play together in the evening when you're tired of studying? The Bund is still very beautiful at night. At least take a photo to commemorate it."

Wang Da just felt a little embarrassed. Although these two seemed to have completely different lifestyles, they were surprisingly compatible, especially Qin Zhixin. She was actually serious when she said she was going to the library.

"Ah."

Qin Zhixin responded without even opening her mouth.

…………

Arriving at school, Wang Da hurried back to his dorm to look for review materials. No matter who came, he would go to the library to study hard today. Yang Qichao didn't wait for him and took Qin Zhixin to the library first, introducing them as he led the way.

Qin Zhixin looked at it with interest. The library in Fudan’s Handan community was a little shabby.

It wasn't a high floor, and the plasterboard outside was mottled and dirty, but it had a distinct sense of age. Most libraries at good universities in China look old. It was a little after eleven in the afternoon, lunchtime, and the area was bustling with students going out for lunch. Qin Zhixin and the other person stood at the library entrance, attracting glances of amazement or envy from everyone passing by.

Qin Zhixin was probably feeling hungry, so she interrupted Yang Qichao's interest in pretending to be a tour guide.

"Chaozi, let's go to your cafeteria. I'm hungry. Let's make a deal. You're the one who treats me to dinner. I don't have your school meal card."

Yang Qichao smiled.

"I'll take you to the North District. Of the three cafeterias here, only the North District has good food, but it's a bit far."

Qin Zhixin came closer and stood beside him coquettishly.

The two had a vastly different physique. Yang Qichao was tall and muscular, and with his stern face, he looked old even just standing there. Qin Zhixin, though 1.65 meters tall, had a slender figure. Even with her playful, chubby figure that always attracted attention, she still looked fragile and slender. Compared to Yang Qichao, she looked even smaller.

"Aren't you going to college and buying a bicycle?"

"That was a long time ago. I haven't ridden a bike for a long time. Let's walk over. There's still a lot to see on the Fudan campus. The sea pinks and pansies are blooming in front of the cafeteria now. They're very beautiful."

Qin Zhixin followed Yang Qichao toward the North District cafeteria. She walked with her elegant, effortless catlike gait, her hands wrapped around her backpack, holding her bunny down. This gait, paired with her charming, cheerful face, gave her a lazy yet intellectual air, like a precious Persian cat.

Chapter 106: I Want to Say Something

The English test in the evening was nothing to Qin Zhixin.

After all, at a very young age, she was already engaging in personal attacks and racial slurs with white people across the ocean on Reddit. Reading long English novels was no problem for her, let alone a high school entrance exam.

But the aftereffects of the math exam were truly overwhelming, especially after Yang Qichao revealed his estimated score that evening. This only reinforced Qin Zhixin's conviction that she was doomed. After she finished her English exam, there was still over half an hour before the papers were due. Too lazy to review, Qin Zhixin simply dozed off on the table. She drifted off to a dream in which she dreamt Tang Yuyu was about to spank her because she had failed the test, and she was startled awake again.

After a day of exams, Qin Zhixin felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and she didn't even have the heart to play games.

When she got home, she first went to the bathroom to run the water, threw her towel and bath ball into the bathtub, and then took off all her clothes in the bathroom and threw them into the washing machine.

The temperature in Nanling City was already quite low in late September. Qin Zhixin couldn't help but hunch her shoulders. She put on the shirt that had been thrown in the washing machine, turned on the bathroom heater, and headed to the bedroom in her slippers. This girl didn't care about exposing herself at home at all. She casually walked into the living room in her slippers. After all, she was alone at home, so she could dress however she wanted. If it weren't for the chilly temperature inside, she would probably be naked right now.

She first retrieved her phone from its charger in the living room, then hurried to the bedroom, pulling the tangled quilt aside to reveal the fleece sheets beneath. Qin Zhixin carefully removed her watch and placed it on top of the sheets. She continued to chuckle, gazing at the lifelike yellow bird on the cloisonné enamel dial for a moment, then lying on her back again, holding the watch up to the incandescent light. Through the light, she noticed a few scratches on the platinum case.

Qin Zhixin was stunned. She rubbed it hard, but the tiny scratches were still there. These scratches were even more obvious under the light. She turned the watch slightly, and these fine silver-white scratches danced on the mirror like velvet.

[Look, I've only worn it for a month and it's already scratched.]

Qin Zhixin lay on the bed, her mind empty, her drool flowing out inadvertently. She wiped it casually on the pillow, then raised her butt and drooled a few times on the bed.

How hard is platinum? You're using your watch like brass knuckles, you idiot!

[No way! I'm very careful!]

【Just touch it a few times with a silver polishing cloth. 】

Qin Zhixin continued to rub the scratch, carefully hiding her treasure under the pillow. Grabbing her phone, she rolled over and burrowed into the pile of quilts like a cricket pupa, her butt exposed. The quilt was still cold, and Qin Zhixin shivered as soon as she entered, but she kept her butt sticking out and playing with her phone.

First, she opened Penguin and logged into her "student account". As soon as she entered, she saw the messages Yang Qichao sent her, and there were several messages in a row.

"Yang Qichao: I have seen the reference answer here"

"Yang Qichao: Given by the teacher"

Qin Zhixin felt uncomfortable again when she saw this and didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

"Qin Zhixin: Silly roe deer, your father won't watch!"

"Qin Zhixin: The screen resolution is low, it has been deleted."

"Qin Zhixin: If you post something like this again, I'll fuck your mother!"

Qin Zhixin felt a bit irritated. Her bottom felt a bit cold, probably because it was exposed. She pulled the covers back up. She glanced at her phone. Yang Qichao hadn't replied to her message, and she had no idea what he was doing. She didn't bother to guess, so she sent him a few links to Japanese movies and then went offline to browse Tieba.

Estimating the time, the bathtub should be almost full. Qin Zhixin got up and went to the bathroom. She stretched out her foot to test the water temperature. The water was a little hot, but bearable. She was too lazy to wait and sat down.

Under the orange light of the heater, the rising mist made her silhouette in the water hazy. The water was warm, and her jade-like skin, as white as jade, was tinged with a seductive pale pink. After taking a deep breath, she pinched her nose and dove into the water, holding her breath.

"You should do some reading tonight. You have a test tomorrow. Don't get a B in chemistry."

Before the reform of the college entrance examination in Jiangsu Province, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, history and politics were not counted in the scores. Only the grade was considered. Many universities required a minimum of AB in the college entrance examination. If it was a 985 university, most of them required double A.

[What are you afraid of? My worst score this time is an A-!]

Qin Zhixin felt that she could no longer hold her breath, so she stuck her head out of the water and gasped for air. A pair of big fat rabbits that had turned pink from the heat rose and fell on the water with her breathing, and the bright red dogwood teased the water surface. A vague feeling of something strange came over her.

[So what are you doing tonight? Don't tell me you're going to play games again.]

Qin Zhixin grabbed the soap box. Inside were goat milk soap, sandalwood soap, and honey soap. She hesitated a bit, her tender white fingers touching each of the three soaps before finally picking up the honey soap.

"I've already failed the exam, so my vacation is going to be a disaster anyway. I need to make up for it in advance. What's wrong with giving myself a day off?"

After giving up, she felt much less pressure. Qin Zhixin was used to being beaten anyway. The worst that could happen was that Tang Yuyu would spank her a few more times, which was no big deal to her.

After soaking for a while, Qin Zhixin finally remembered Yang Qichao.

She shook her hands to dry them, then grabbed her phone from the edge of the tub and called Yang Qichao. She put the phone on speakerphone, afraid it might get wet, and placed it far away. The slightly warm water gave her face an unnatural flush, like the color of a woman after sex. She gently rubbed her watch with the yellow honey soap, her delicate hands working up a fine lather that evenly rubbed against her snowy skin.

The call was connected. Yang Qichao didn't say anything. After several seconds, the person on the other end spoke.

"What are you doing? I'm reviewing."

Qin Zhixin sat up, a pair of plump, white breasts emerging from the water. She gently slid honey soap over them, rubbing every part of her skin. She returned the soap to the dish and rubbed it with her delicate hands. The delicate lather was no match for her snowy, smooth skin, which appeared even more hazy in the orange light.

"How can you talk to a girl like that? It's okay, I'm just here to stop you from reviewing. I'm harassing you~"

The little witch's voice was slightly hoarse, and her tone was lingering and alluring, sounding lazy and seductive. She folded her hands, scooped up a handful of water, and sprinkled it on the rabbit that had been washed with soap. The foam was washed away, and the jade-like skin, smooth as jade, became even more enchanting under the moisturizing water.

Yang Qichao fell silent again.

"Chaozi, you're pretending to be dumb with your dad, right?"

Even though Qin Zhixin's voice was a little distorted through the low-quality microphone, it still made people think about it.

But Yang Qichao wasn't buying it. He'd been toyed with by this girl countless times since he was a child, and he'd already gotten the hang of it. Yang Qichao couldn't help but feel his back teeth itching. This little witch had first sent him a link to the reed, and then suddenly called him. Who knew if she was recording it?

"If nothing else, I'll hang up."
