Jin... what Mei?!

After hanging up the phone, Yu Mingyi was still pondering whether he had just misheard, or if his father had really said that?

Impossible, right?

But among the great works of world literature, past and present, it seems there’s only one book with that name. Why would Dad want him to read it?

Completely confused...

Mr. Yu thought today was truly an inexplicable day; everyone seemed so strange. All these bizarre reactions happening at once left him clueless about what was going on.

As he pushed the door open, he saw a bundle on the bed.

Qian had wrapped herself up in the quilt.

"Are you asleep?"

"No..." Qian’s muffled voice came out from under the covers.

Her face was practically on fire now.

Actually, Mrs. Yu didn’t say anything over the top to her. Given her status, she couldn’t teach the kids too explicitly, needing to maintain a scholarly dignity. During the hour-long conversation, about 58 minutes was spent on small talk. It was only in the last 2 minutes that she subtly implied she wouldn’t mind having another grandchild, boy or girl, and that being busy with work wasn’t a problem; Mrs. Yu could help take care of the child.

But next time they get intimate, they should be a bit gentler. Backs are troublesome if they get injured...

Even though it was just a hint, it was enough to make Qian blush furiously and feel immensely awkward.

Why is everyone encouraging things between her and her brother?

If she had no such thoughts, everything would be natural. But now, the atmosphere felt awkwardly tense.

Her brother didn’t notice Qian’s thoughts. He just felt she seemed uncomfortable hiding in the quilt, so he sat by the bed and reached to peel back the covers.

If she had no such thoughts, they usually interacted this way—it was all very natural.

But ever since everyone was pushing her in that direction, even this simple move could make her heart race and cheeks flush.

"What’s wrong?" he asked, puzzled, noticing her slight tensing up.

"Auntie said, my back will be fine by tonight."

"That’s great." Yu Mingyi wasn’t surprised. His mom was an expert in this area, so it was a small matter.

"By then, I can exercise." Her face turned redder.

"Oh, then do a few less abdominal exercises today—actually, don’t do them, just rest."

"..." The saddest thing in the world is that while she wants to exercise with him, he just wants her to kneel and work on her abs!

But it doesn’t matter, Qian said, undress!!!

Qian secretly resolved that tonight, she would definitely use Qian’s secret method.

Do exercises? Okay, then use Qian’s secret!

Not for other reasons, but because of his promise to marry her once they graduate. Without family, she hoped to build one with the man she loved.

Of course, there was another reason solidifying Qian’s resolve.

Qian’s broken window theory.

Qian admired Qian and treated her words like holy commands.

So if Qian knew that around her, everyone was breaking through, all because of her, she would probably want to hit her head against a wall.

Is there no justice in this world!

Why is everyone joining in on the chaos!

Strictly speaking, the matter with Shi Tou and Qiao Zhen was also due to Qian’s fruit juice that hit the wall.

But Qian had no idea that the silly girl from the rich family next door had already shed her innocence.

She was stimulated by the call with Qian.

She thought she could rely on her sister Xiaoyu.

Just thinking of escaping Mr. Yu’s distractions, planning to run to the adorable, silly girl of the rich family, the silly girl called her first.

She started with a feeble voice.

"Qian... save me..."

"What happened?!" Qian immediately tensed up. What happened to Xiaoyu?!

"I’m in so much pain... can you buy me some painkillers? I can’t move!"

"How could this be?" Did something happen last night that hurt Xiaoyu?

Although Qian often teased she was the foolish girl of the rich family, the bond was extraordinary. They were super close friends who had faced hardships together from the countryside.

Hearing Xiaoyu so pitiful, Qian got intensely worried.

"I accidentally twisted my back, it hurts bad. Get me some painkillers, and also bring some rat food for my Matchmaker and Cupid."

"...Matchmaker? Cupid?" What the heck is that?

The fat hamster pair Shi Tou raised, weren’t they named Boop and Beep?

Did they get renamed overnight, and what does "jostle" mean? It couldn’t be what she thought, right?

From the other end of the line, Shi Tou’s shy voice came, "Yeah, they got new names. Because of them, my brother Qiao and I made progress, now we’re like you—we’re women, oh hohoho~"

Qian decisively hung up the call.

Taking a deep breath and silently looking at the sky.

Whom exactly did she offend, why is everyone succeeding while her long-prepared plan repeatedly fails?

Truly, there’s no way to be friends, especially with Shi Tou’s remark about everyone being the same, along with that coquettish laugh—really makes one want to break ties for five minutes!

But the rich family’s silly girl didn’t empathize with Qian’s heartache from all the teasing, calling her again.

"Qian, why’d you hang up? Was it a slip of the hand?"

"I don’t want to talk to you."

"Come on... I know, you’ve taught me that girls should maintain self-respect, but isn’t this a rare chance? I thought he was serious. When we were together last night, he even cried, you know? I just couldn’t control myself."

Shi Tou still didn’t get it. Qian hung up because she was starving, overwhelmed by others having hearty meals—it was too stimulating!

For Shi Tou and Qiao Zhen’s long-hidden feelings to find a breakthrough and explode wasn’t surprising, but what she couldn’t stand was why all her roommates were ahead of her?

So, Qian mischievously hung up again.

When Shi Tou called the third time, she was almost pleading, "Qian, don’t be mad, I didn’t mean it, it was him—"

"Shut up!" No more listening to people boasting about their romances, it was heartbreakingly annoying!

In the end, she couldn’t bear to stay mad at Shi Tou. Though that girl had changed, in front of Qian she was still the silly girl. Qian sometimes felt like she was raising a child, watching her evolve from a sweet, silly girl to her current self—like watching a dark little girl grow up.

"Alright, tell me where you are. I’ll come find you later."

Sigh, what kind of fate is this, not only being force-fed friends’ romance stories but also having to deliver painkillers and hamster food. This life...

Qian felt a bit melancholic.
