142: The news got out in Chapter 142: Zhao Qingyan went to pick up her boyfriend.

He had to leave.

He absolutely had to leave.

The rental apartment had become a place of trouble; staying any longer would surely lead to someone getting killed.

Seven in the morning.

Shen Weiyue woke up on time, acting as if nothing had happened, and stretched comfortably.

Feng Jiayue had prepared a refreshing and delicious breakfast, and for the first time ever, Feng Jiaxin had also woken up early to eat with them, her face flushed red.

"Alright, you two go back to sleep in a while. No need to see me off; there's a car coming to take me to the airport," Shen Weiyue reminded them proactively.

"Oh, then safe travels, Brother Shen. Come back and visit us often." Feng Jiayue leaned her face over. Shen Weiyue understood what she meant and gently pinched her cheek.

"Brother Shen, safe travels. We... we will miss you." Feng Jiaxin actually mimicked her sister's action and leaned her face over as well.

Shen Weiyue was slightly stunned. He smiled with mixed feelings, but without much hesitation, he gently patted her head.

Feng Jiaxin lowered her head, satisfied, looking as sweet as if honey were about to spill out.

Feng Jiayue watched this scene in surprise, but she didn't suspect that Shen Weiyue had done anything. She decided to have a proper talk with her sister after the man had left.

When Shen Weiyue left, the sisters reluctantly saw him downstairs. Feng Jiayue was fine, but Feng Jiaxin was teary-eyed and on the verge of crying.

"What are you crying for? The car is already gone. Let's go back."

"Sister, Brother Shen left again. Last time he left, you cried for a long time. How come this time you're not only not crying, but you're actually smiling?"

"Are you stupid? He's already partnered with people here to start a company, so he'll definitely come back often in the future. Before, there was no special reason, but now with this business, there's no need to worry about him not coming back."

"Really? That's great!"

"What are you so excited about? If anyone should be excited, it should be me." Feng Jiayue sneered and patted her sister's bottom. "Come on, go back with me. I have things to ask you!"

Feng Jiaxin rubbed her sore spot and followed behind, feeling anxious. She felt that in the short three months since arriving in Shenzhen, her sister had changed a lot.

Not only had her temper grown, but her figure had also grown.

Following behind her was truly nerve-wracking.

Nine in the morning.

Shen Weiyue boarded the plane from Shenzhen to Beijing. Looking at the buildings outside the window, which were shrinking like ants, he felt mixed emotions.

Not to mention the unexpected gains from this trip—getting a two-million investment from Brother Crow for nothing, and starting the entry into the mobile phone accessories R&D field ahead of schedule.

Just considering this muddled romantic relationship, it also seemed to have become unexpected.

In the morning, he had only pretended to be asleep; he hadn't actually been asleep. That warm, soft touch and the fragrance—what lecher could resist that?

You can't blame Director Shen for not being a saint; you can only blame the younger sister for being too tempting. Director Shen wanted to be a saint too, but someone wouldn't let him be one.

It was only a few minutes, and they didn't do anything like "swimming in the river with a lifebuoy." The young girl was very innocent and had a kind of green, youthful beauty.

Since he was pretending to sleep, the young girl surely couldn't wake up someone who was feigning sleep.

"Sigh, 'Once whipped a fine horse while drunk, fearing that too much affection would burden a beauty.' This kind of thing is really beastly, but why am I not resisting it?"

"Since my rebirth, my moral standards have ultimately slipped..."

Shen Weiyue closed his tray table, pulled down the window shade, and closed his eyes to catch up on sleep.

Two hours later, he would see Zhao Qingyan, the most beautiful little fox. His subconscious told him that he must maintain his best mental state. As for why? Director Shen didn't know either.

On the other side.

Zhao Qingyan had woken up very early in her dormitory. That was her habit: early to bed, early to rise, and reading books whenever she had nothing to do.

But today she had something to do; that Stupid Donkey was coming to Beijing, so she couldn't read.

After a simple wash, Zhao Qingyan changed into a casual, sporty outfit: a white long-sleeved knit sweater on top, a pair of gray casual trousers on the bottom, and as usual, her hair tied in a high ponytail.

As for why she wasn't wearing a skirt, it was because October in Beijing had already turned cold; the autumn chill was strong.

During the National Day holiday, one roommate had gone home, one had gone out to play, and one remained at school with her.

This roommate was named Liu Qiyu. Seeing her dressed so neatly so early in the morning didn't surprise her; after all, everyone at Qingbei University was very studious.

But when Zhao Qingyan left without a backpack, Liu Qiyu hurriedly called out to her: "Qingyan, you didn't take your backpack."

"Oh, I'm not going to the library today," Zhao Qingyan replied.

Liu Qiyu was greatly surprised. This roommate, who had indisputably taken the title of Qingbei's most beautiful School Beauty as soon as she enrolled, had spent every day since arriving over a month ago doing nothing but eating and studying. Her backpack had never been more than a meter away from her.

Getting up so early, dressing up slightly to look breathtakingly beautiful, and yet not going to the library? This was the first time she had seen this, and it was hard not to be curious.

"Ah? Then where are you going?" Liu Qiyu asked subconsciously.

After the words were out, she felt it was presumptuous to ask someone with Zhao Qingyan's personality such a question, so she added: "I'm just asking casually, you don't have to pay attention to me."

"A friend is coming, I'm going to pick him up." Zhao Qingyan wasn't offended; she had always been open and straightforward in her actions, with nothing she couldn't say to others.

"Is it a man or a woman?" Liu Qiyu couldn't help but ask, regardless of whether it was presumptuous. After asking, she revealed her usual awkward yet polite smile.

"A man," Zhao Qingyan replied calmly.

Liu Qiyu's eyes widened, and she blurted out: "Didn't you say you don't interact with men? Senior Qiu, Chairman Chen—those excellent guys asked you out, and you ignored them. How come this time..."

"What do they have to do with me?" Zhao Qingyan said with a tone of disdain.

Are people all the same? What level are they on? Do they even deserve to be compared to my Stupid Donkey?

She walked straight out the door, leaving Liu Qiyu in shock.

Good heavens, Zhao Qingyan actually went to pick up a male friend!

She really couldn't extinguish her gossiping urge, so she simply sent a message to the other two roommates on QQ.

"Wanlu, Lingge, do you know that Qingyan got up early this morning to pick up a male friend?"

Li Wanlu: "What? She went to pick up her boyfriend?"

Liu Qiyu: "Not boyfriend, male friend!"

Zhou Lingge: "Wow, the cold School Beauty went to pick up her boyfriend?"

Liu Qiyu: "It's a male friend, a male friend! Read my words clearly, hey, male!"

Got it. Spread the word: the School Beauty went to pick up her boyfriend. Whether it's "male" or not isn't important now; that only matters between couples. Anyway, Zhao Qingyan has a suspicious boyfriend. This is big news.

Li Wanlu and Zhou Lingge started gossiping excitedly, even coming up with a bad idea to have Liu Qiyu play Sherlock Holmes, secretly following behind Zhao Qingyan to scout out the enemy situation.

To see which lucky dog of a man actually managed to snatch away the most beautiful School Beauty in the history of Qingbei.

How could Liu Qiyu dare to do that? She kept explaining that she was going to see a male friend, not a boyfriend.

The two instigators wouldn't listen. Sister Qiyu was finally enraged:

"You two jerks, stop talking! I'm begging you, at least don't say it was me who said it. Qingyan could freeze me to death..."

"Hehe, Sister Qiyu, why speak like that? Sister being so angry is our fault..."

"Ahhhh, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"
