Chapter 66: The Secret of Being Eavesdropped On

No wonder girls like Tong Ya and Luo Yueli are captivated by him…

Su Yichen must be the protagonist; only he is worthy of being the main character.

When Mo Qingqiu heard Su Yichen praising her, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her eyes involuntarily lifted.

She appeared to be somewhat happy.

The young girl felt a rare sense of pleasure from those few simple words of praise because…

She and he were very much alike.

From just the few lines of dialogue between Su Yichen and Shen Ran, Mo Qingqiu could tell…

He was of the same kind as her.

The praise of ordinary people was, in the end, merely mundane; she had heard too much of it.

He was very similar to her, but not entirely.

Mo Qingqiu’s beautiful peach-blossom eyes, which had curved into crescents from her smile, slowly opened. The enchanting curve at the corners of her eyes shallowly vanished. *Snap!*

The glasses frame she had been playing with in her hand was snapped in two by her.

Her fair, jade-like fingers, as beautiful as green scallions, formed a sharp contrast with her violent actions.

She had heard a sense of detached elegance in Su Yichen’s tone… along with an unparalleled, unrestrained freedom.

How could a boy who was of the same kind as her…

How could he be so free and easy?

How could he live so wantonly?

He should… be locked in a cage just like her.

He should be well-behaved, never seeing the light of day.

Mo Qingqiu quietly lowered her eyelids. Under the white, warm light, those shimmering eyes flickered with colors of an emotion so complex it was difficult to describe.

Just then, Su Yichen’s voice came through the earpiece: “Shen Ran, during the time I’m helping you, you…”

“Must absolutely not fall in love with me.”

*Pfft…*

Mo Qingqiu’s eyes widened suddenly. She was dazed for a moment, then she abruptly burst out laughing.

‘You even thought of that…’

‘Su Yichen…’

‘It seems… although we are very similar, there are still some differences.’

‘I’m looking forward to your performance.’

‘Su Yichen.’

‘Please, don’t let me down~’

‘Finding one of my own kind…’

‘It’s just too difficult.’

Jinyue City, Baiyue North Road.

The first meeting between girls… was nothing more than shopping, eating, drinking milk tea, and watching movies.

This was also the case for Luo Yueli and Mu Qianqian, two girls who had met online through a game and developed into best friends.

The two had already finished dinner and were now in the middle of their shopping and milk tea time.

Through meeting and chatting with Luo Yueli, while admiring her friend’s talent and beauty, Mu Qianqian became even more longingly interested in Qingyue University.

Looking at the milk tea in her hand, she couldn’t help but think of the first time she met Su Yichen… He had also treated her to milk tea, and he hadn’t even finished his own cup.

In the end, he had given it to Mu Xia.

At the time, Mu Qianqian didn’t think much of it, but thinking back on it later…

Mu Qianqian felt more and more that Su Yichen was delicate and gentle. He likely hadn’t drunk that milk tea himself because he had considered the situation that might happen afterward.

‘He is a boy as holy as an angel. His looks, speech, and temperament are the most outstanding and transcendent I’ve ever seen in my life.’

‘Could it be that all students at Qingyue University… are like this?’

Mu Qianqian felt…

That probably wasn’t the case.

Even in a place like Qingyue University, Su Yichen should be the most outstanding boy, right?

‘A boy like that… is actually sharing a rental with me.’

Just as the girl’s thoughts were drifting, a sudden pull on her arm made her footsteps falter.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Luo Yueli asked with concern. “Qianqian, if you’re tired, should we find a place to rest?”

Mu Qianqian finally snapped out of it, realizing she had almost walked into a roadside railing.

“I’m fine, I’m fine. I just feel like this is all a dream.”

“I didn’t expect us to actually meet.”

“And that I’d get to know such a good friend like you~”

“Heehee…”

“I didn’t expect my online friend to be such a cute girl either~” Luo Yueli reached her hand around the girl’s waist, hugging her intimately.

“Working in a nightclub and being this pretty…”

“Are there… many temptations from people every day?”

“Um… there are some.”

Mu Qianqian poked her tongue out playfully and lightly pinched the flesh on Luo Yueli’s waist.

Accompanied by Luo Yueli’s bashful groan, the girl escaped from her “evil” clutches.

“But I don’t like that kind of thing.”

“Stay strong, Mu Qianqian. The temptations will only get bigger and bigger.”

“Mm.”

Mu Qianqian responded softly. When she heard the word “temptation,” Su Yichen’s figure couldn’t help but surface in her mind.

She always felt that he was so tempting.

‘Bah…’

The girl secretly spat in her heart.

‘Qianqian, you really are blinded by lust!’

“Lizi, I’m a proper girl!”

Mu Qianqian puffed out her chest, speaking with great momentum.

“Is that so~”

“A proper girl wouldn’t share a rental with a boy. Do you have a crush on him?” Luo Yueli looked at her with a half-smile, her words filled with playful suspicion and teasing.

“Are you going to come out and meet me hand-in-hand with that boy next time?”

“No way…”

The girl’s cheeks burned; her words were a bit lacking in confidence.

After all, she had just been thinking about Su Yichen.

No matter how she looked at it, she did have a crush on him.

Fortunately, they were on the street and the surroundings were quite noisy, so Luo Yueli didn’t notice the hesitation.

“I’m serious. Besides, who would like a girl who works in a nightclub? Once they hear that, they’ll definitely think I’m the kind of…”

“Um…”

“Don’t pay attention to those kinds of people. Mm~ I also think you’re a proper girl.”

Luo Yueli blinked, then suddenly changed the subject. “Qianqian, I have a childhood friend. How about I invite him out another day so you two can get to know each other?”

“Huh?”

Mu Qianqian was stunned, completely not expecting Luo Yueli to jump the topic so much.

“It’s just… to make another friend.”

“He’s also from Qingyue University, a classmate of mine. Since I’m introducing you, you don’t have to worry about the job thing; he won’t get angry.”

“He’s handsome and excellent, with better grades than me. He has a gentle personality and never loses his temper.”

“Perhaps you two could become very good friends. You’re single, and he’s single too.”

As Luo Yueli spoke, her picturesque brows and eyes gradually curved, resembling the bright moon in the sky.

Mu Qianqian stared blankly at Luo Yueli. She discovered that this friend of hers… had a smile as brilliant as the break of dawn.

‘Does Lizi like her childhood friend?’

‘But if she likes him… why would she talk about introducing him to me…’

“Lizi, you… if you introduce him to me, won’t you be jealous?”

“I won’t.”

Luo Yueli smiled faintly.

The colors reflected in those shimmering eyes were the city lights and the glow from ten thousand homes behind Mu Qianqian.

“How could I be jealous? You’re my good friend.”

“And he is my…”

“Childhood friend.”

No matter how many girls Su Yichen knew, he was her childhood friend alone.

Su Yichen was hers…

He was Luo Yueli’s childhood friend.

No matter what happened, Su Yichen was, and could only be, hers.

His childhood friend… could only be her.

Su Yichen, between us…

It’s until death do us part.
