However, just as she was about to click to send the friend request, she suddenly remembered something and quickly logged out of her original WeChat account, then logged into an old alternate account she had used before.

Using the alternate account to add him...

Yang Qiange slammed the door shut, and Qi Ran, remembering what she had just said, explained to Xia Ye with an especially red face, "Act, actually he’s not yet my boyfriend... That’s why I didn’t tell you..."

Xia Ye’s lips curved attractively, "Don’t mind that jerk, nobody’s going to blame you for this kind of thing."

Qi Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but she still rubbed her phone back and forth in her hands, taking the opportunity to tell Xia Ye about how she had met Zheng Xingxian.

Xia Ye found the way Qi Ran’s face was flushing red very adorable and listened with great patience.

Zheng Xingxian and Qi Ran had been high school classmates for three years, and he was the genteel and scholarly type of guy.

Qi Ran had been study committee head for three years while he had been the class president.

Zheng Xingxian didn’t study as well as Qi Ran and hadn’t made it into a university in Capital City, but fortunately, he had been admitted to a university nearby, and it was only a bit more than half an hour by bus to Capital City.

It was a departure from their small hometown.

In high school, Zheng Xingxian was considered a campus heartthrob—an affable and handsome class president with great popularity, too easily attracting the attention of girls.

Qi Ran was no exception, but given her personality, she would rather die than confess it.

Like many other young girls, she would secretly watch him joking harmoniously with the other boys, while she only dared to write his name in her diary followed by a plump and red little heart.

Although Zheng Xingxian was very popular and often received love letters from girls, he had always kept to himself, rejecting every girl who confessed to him on the grounds that ’students should prioritize their studies.’

Qi Ran had never thought about confessing her feelings, finding it nice enough just to be classmates with him, but when the college entrance examination results were released, she was the top scorer of their little town and even their entire province. As good things come in pairs, the next day, she received a WeChat message from Zheng Xingxian, who wanted to meet her before they submitted their university choices.

To this day, she still remembered that day; it was scorching hot in the summer, and the branches of the big plane trees lining the small road grew wildly. The bright sun filtered through the dense and chaotic leaves, casting a dazzling and mottled pattern of light spots on the ground.

She met him in the shadow of the plane trees, stepping on the patches of light on the ground, walking step by step, then she heard Zheng Xingxian’s voice drift in the wind beside her.

He asked, "Do you know why I never accepted those girls’ confessions?"

Qi Ran shook her head, saying she didn’t know.

Zheng Xingxian’s smile was as warm as uncarved jade, his voice as soft as the touch of a jade stone, as he said, "Because I was waiting for you, Ranran."

Qi Ran couldn’t believe what she was hearing and felt her ears burn up from his words.

The most popular guy in school was actually confessing to her.

She was so ordinary and he, so bright and dazzling...

She was so nervous that for a long stretch afterward, she wasn’t able to say a word.

When it was time to part, Zheng Xingxian reached out his hand to her; he wanted to hold her hand.

But Qi Ran hesitated for a long while and ultimately didn’t place her hand in his; she was someone who warmed up to people slowly.

From choosing their universities to starting college, the two maintained the relationship they have now. Qi Ran wasn’t talkative, but texting on WeChat was much smoother for her.

Zheng Xingxian often checked in on her, and she gradually opened up to him.

Xia Ye listened to her story, interjecting with an "Oh" from time to time.

But this reaction was not very enthusiastic; to be honest, when she was in the temple before, she had heard too many such girlish matters.

Qi Ran brought up something and seemed a little excited, "Oh yes, we’ve planned to meet next weekend. He’s coming to Capital City to see me, and we can all have dinner together, how about that?"

The new term was nearly halfway through, and they had all adapted well to the new school, new environment, and new classmates.

Zheng Xingxian had always wanted to come to Capital City to see the scenery of the big city, so they had agreed on next Saturday.

Xia Ye remembered the Cordyceps still in Qi Ran’s cabinet and realized she would be going home for a meal next week. She could take the Cordyceps home, so she extended an invitation to Qi Ran.

"Next week I’m going home. How about you bring him over to my place? You haven’t been to my place yet either."

Qi Ran was delighted to receive the invitation, but even more embarrassed, "The first meeting should be my treat since I’m the one bringing him to meet you..."
