This should be right… She had indeed died once before getting a chance to be reborn. It’s best to speak mysteriously so Yan Jin doesn’t understand…
“…”
Yan Jin was stunned for half a minute, seemingly sighing and nodding, with an inexplicable light flickering in his eyes.
So in this girl’s heart, Yan Qing’s existence was equivalent to her life? Looking at it this way, she wasn’t so bad…
…Maybe he should observe for a while?
Yan Jin inexplicably felt a bit uncomfortable… From childhood, women who approached him or Yan Qing would, after observation, reveal their various purposes, which led him to establish the first hurdle – “tempting with money”.
Not many passed this hurdle…
They were either truly thinking nothing, or… incredibly scheming…
Yan Jin’s mind flashed with thoughts, and his gaze at An Xi became more interested…
Yan Qing, watching from the side, naturally knew what his second brother was up to… But he was afraid his brother’s tricks wouldn’t work on An Xi.
Who knew, the next second Yan Jin would tenderly say to An Xi—
“An Xi, I’ve fallen in love with you.
Yan Qing, senior, that… Mr. Yan Jin was just joking, you… don’t get impulsive, it’s not good to hurt someone…” An Qi said nervously, knowing Yan Qing’s “inner nature” and feeling helpless… It would be bad if he really erupted.
“No, he’s just like that, don’t mind him.”
Yan Qing answered calmly, confident in his actions… He naturally wouldn’t want to hurt his own people and would throw precisely.
“Oh! Hehe… Speaking of which, Senior Yan Qing’s dart skills are really good.”
An Qi, seeing the matter was settled, quickly tried to change the subject. Strangely, their atmosphere seemed to be getting more and more familiar, as if they had known each other for a long time… Of course, An Qi had indeed known him for a while.
“Just so-so… If An Qi wants to learn, I can teach you.”
Yan Qing was answering when his phone rang. He quickly glanced at the text message and looked at An Qi beside him, “Are you free the day after tomorrow afternoon?”
“The day after tomorrow? Yes,” An Qi nodded and replied.
“Come with me to a small gathering! Yue Zijun’s, you know him, you can bring friends,” Yan Qing put away his phone and continued.
“Oh… okay. By the way, Senior Yan Qing, wait a moment, I’ll buy a tiramisu for Xiao Xin…” An Qi answered while seeing a dessert shop by the roadside and ran over…
Actually… she didn’t really have a reason to meet Yan Qing.
But now that he had invited her, she would naturally agree.
The next day, An Qi sat on her bed feeling troubled.
She had good girlfriends before college… but Ding Yu was studying abroad and couldn’t be called back, Dai Xue wasn’t local, and Ye Ling was too shy, so there weren’t many good options to accompany her.
After struggling for a long time, An Qi still called Ye Ling, who naturally and nervously refused without thinking…
For Ye Ling, attending a gathering was less appealing than reading a couple of science fiction books at home.
Two days later, on the day of the gathering.
An Qi’s clothes were spread out on the bed… but looking again and again, she suddenly discovered her clothes were quite childish… She hadn’t paid attention before, but now it was truly embarrassing.
According to her current aesthetic, most of her clothes were pink-pink or blue-pink… Looking from her current perspective, they were truly… unbearable.
She found a down jacket without messy lace, wore a white cashmere sweater underneath, a black fluffy skirt and warm tights… An Qi nodded, okay, she’d tie her hair in a bun… she’d go for the cute route! No… she could only go for the cute route…
When she went downstairs, she saw Yan Qing, which wasn’t much of a surprise.
He was wearing a black coat, leaning against the wall below her house. Before An Qi came down, his eyes were lowered, and in the winter sunlight, his tall figure was coated with a soft golden light, like… an angel who had mistakenly entered the human world.
However, no one would know that the other side of this angel would be more ruthless than a demon.
He wouldn’t be a good knight, he wouldn’t naively give everything until the end, watching the princess be with the prince… In his previous life, he had already made a mistake, a ridiculous one… So in this life, he would be the prince himself.
An Qi slowly walked to his side and gently tugged his coat sleeve.
“Good afternoon.”
He looked An Qi over and seriously commented while touching his chin: “Suits you well.”
“Th-thanks.” She felt the atmosphere was strange…
This conversation between a senior she’d known for half a semester and a junior seemed weird… An Qi thought, covering her face.
The destination wasn’t far, and walking there was just right.
Yue Zijun naturally had great social connections, with around 20-30 people scattered at the gathering. Among them, An Qi unhappily saw Chen Ye and Mu Rou. Mu Rou clearly saw An Qi, but neither seemed interested in greeting the other.
They bought some random snacks and drinks at a supermarket, and Yue Zijun’s group entered a KTV and opened a large private room for the gathering.
The big room could be divided into two halves, with those wanting to sing going to the left, and those not wanting to sing could sit at the large table on the right to play games.
An Qi, who didn’t often participate in such activities, sat a bit nervously at the game table. She hadn’t expected the relatively cool Yan Qing to chat so openly with people around him, with several girls even surrounding him and talking, which made An Qi feel frustrated.
Biting a potato chip viciously, An Qi stared at the curly-haired girl closest to Yan Qing. She was practically pressed up against him! Yan Qing had clearly invited her to accompany him to the gathering… Looking at this, she absolutely didn’t need to come!!!
“Come, let’s play a game!”
A tall, thin boy with freckles raised his hand. An Qi looked carefully and realized he was Zhang Yang, the student who had helped her carry her luggage when she first enrolled… The world was indeed small.
“What are we playing? Werewolf?”
A girl suggested.
“Ah, we always play Werewolf, can’t we suggest something different!”
Zhang Yang waved his hand and directly vetoed the suggestion.
During the conversation, Yan Qing had already “broken through multiple obstacles” and sat next to An Qi, but the curly-haired girl had also sat down next to Yan Qing.
An Xi looked at Yan Qing with a grievance, turning her head away to avoid looking at him. Yan Qing smiled and glanced sideways at the curly-haired girl beside him, then leaned close to An Xi, whispering in her ear: “You’re quite a failure as a protector…”
“…”A glare…
How dare you… protector? Are you a flower?! An Xi was about to respond this way, but suddenly realized Yan Qing was way too close… His slightly curled eyelashes were practically brushing against her face…
The curly-haired girl behind her changed her expression, glaring hatefully at An Xi.
Of course, An Xi herself, who was being glared at, didn’t notice this at all.
All these small movements did not escape Mu Rou’s eyes. She subtly curved her mouth and raised her hand: “Senior Yue Zijun, why don’t we play a King’s Game version of Truth or Dare?”
