Before the words had even settled, a nauseating and grating roar came from behind.

"My Qi!"

The melodramatic tone... the lazy voice... Qi Yang's first reaction was to protect the box of fried sausages by holding it in his arms, and he also stuffed several pieces into his mouth before turning around peacefully to look at the source of the sound.

"Hey, handsome, you're here too." After a second-long pause on Wei Ying, Qin Yu shifted his gaze towards his ultimate goal. He ran over and hugged Qi Yang from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder, and started murmuring, "Qi, I'm so bored, come play games with me."

"Huh? Uh... " Awkwardness instantly filled his mind, and Qi Yang tilted his head to look at Qin Yu, who was rubbing against his shoulder, then glanced at Wei Ying sitting beside him. He gradually narrowed his eyes, as if arrogantly waiting for his response...

This...

"I have class tomorrow!" Qi Yang quickly put on an innocent expression, glancing at the person beside him, hoping that the tacit understanding they had developed over the past two years would alleviate the awkward situation they were currently in.

Qin Yu also turned around, seemingly trying to understand the meaning in Qi Yang's eyes.

After a minute of silence, Qin Yu finally fluttered his eyelids and lifted his chin towards the plate in front of Qi Yang. "Hurry up and eat! What are you waiting for? Weren't you the one who stayed up all night and went straight to class?"

'The wind howled through the desolate mountains, carrying with it an eerie chill. The moon hid behind dark clouds, casting an ominous shadow on the barren land below. A lone figure stood at the cliff's edge, their silhouette blending into the darkness. They looked out into the vast expanse before them, contemplating the mysteries of life. The night was silent, broken only by the occasional rustling of leaves and the haunting call of a distant owl. The figure took a deep breath, as if inhaling the secrets whispered by the night. With determination in their eyes, they took a step forward, embarking on a journey into the unknown.'

Just kill you, you idiot!

Qin Yu gave a disdainful look to Qi Yang. Qi Yang let out a sigh of relief, turned around and shrugged his shoulders. "Let me go... I'm going to have a meal. We can talk after I finish eating."

"Mmm~" Qin Yu obediently let go and moved to sit opposite Qi Yang.

Holding the hot box in his hands, Qi Yang stuffed several sausages into his mouth, cheeks bulging. He lowered his head and silently prayed that the person sitting beside him would remain silent...

"I'll be heading off now! Let's meet up another day."

Suddenly hearing this sentence, Qi Yang was somewhat surprised and lifted his head. He saw Wei Ying slap his thigh and pursed his lips, standing up from his position. There was a smile on his face, showing no trace of dissatisfaction whatsoever.

Before leaving, Wei Ying turned around and gently rubbed Qi Yang's head with his large palm. He said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I have to go back to the dormitory. Don't refuse me next time, okay~"

"Oh, definitely, definitely... Goodbye." Overwhelmed by a sense of guilt, Qi Yang hurriedly mumbled a reply, hanging his head while biting on his chopsticks, stealing glances at the tall figure of the departing male student from the corner of his eyes.

Until she saw him return to his friends, she raised her hand without hesitation and gave Qin Yu a flick on the head, saying, "Why are you so dumb! I told you what that meant, didn't I!"

"What is it?" Qin Yu innocently raised an eyebrow, supporting his head with a perplexed expression on his face.

"Stupid...," Qi Yang let out a long sigh, shaking his head helplessly. He had forgotten that Qin Yu completely disregarded superficial relationships between people. Hoping for him to cover up this lie for himself was like hoping for a little dog to do it.

"Hurry up and eat, after eating, we'll go into battle!"

"...Stop nagging me!"

(Note: The original Chinese sentence does not have a clear context, so the translation may vary depending on the specific context in the novel.)

As soon as Qi Yang stepped into the entrance of the internet cafe, he was filled with a heavy heart.

Openly lying, and then being exposed by one's own useless brother. Even a fool can understand that it was intentional avoidance that caused the rejection! How come Qin Yu just can't comprehend the hidden meaning in words!

Thinking about this, Qi Yang secretly glared at Zheng Bian, who was leaning on the front desk while chatting with the boss, Qin Yu. Qi Yang walked over and poked his back firmly, saying, "If you happen to encounter Wei Ying, don't go up and greet him, okay?"

"What's wrong? Don't you like him?" Qin Yu was chatting excitedly, turning her head with a smile, still speaking loudly. "Xiao Qiqi, I told you it's fine if you don't have a girlfriend. But at least you can have multiple boyfriends, right? Don't cling to me every day!"

Wang Ge, the owner of the internet cafe, held his ID card up high behind the front desk. His hand froze in midair upon hearing this.

Qi Yang's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out three words, "Big Brother!!!"

"Ah…" He covered his mouth with his hand and patted it lightly. It took Qin Yu a while to realize that what he had just said was a bit strange. He turned around and climbed onto the front desk, earnestly looking at Wang Ge. "Ge, what I mean is, a male friend. Not a boyfriend. I misspoke!"

Wang Ge snorted and burst into laughter, holding onto his beer belly. "Hahaha! Just as I expected! It's no big deal, I don't care about these things! I just wanted to see you being fooled!"

"You're really something..." Qiyang squeezed his temple, which had started to go numb, and took his ID card from the table. He gave Wang Ge a bitter and helpless smile. "Thanks, bro..."
