"It's six-thirty in the evening. No one's home, and Wang Ge is sleeping soundly on my bed."
Listening to Wang Ge's steady breathing, Chen Yanxi wrote this sentence in her diary.
She stared at the sentence quietly for a while, feeling like there was some ambiguity to it.
Then, a faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she closed the diary again.
Ambiguous or not, it didn't matter, as no one else would see it anyway.
She picked up the English original of To Kill a Mockingbird again and began to read it carefully.
By the time Wang Ge woke up, Chen Yanxi was already doing her homework.
"Why aren't you reading anymore?" Wang Ge sat up in bed, stretched lazily, and asked.
"I finished it," Chen Yanxi replied while writing.
"It's good to do something else after finishing a book. It's rare to have some downtime, so it's a waste of time to use it for homework."
"I have a part-time job tomorrow, so I don't have time to do my homework," Chen Yanxi answered.
Wang Ge nodded understandingly, then asked curiously, "Your parents don't mind you going out for a part-time job?"
"They don't know about it," Chen Yanxi shook her head. "Tomorrow was supposed to be a full day of cram school, but I explained the situation to the teacher, and they agreed to let me skip it and keep it a secret."
"I see."
Wang Ge glanced at the time, got out of bed, and sat in the chair next to Chen Yanxi.
"Your mom should be back soon. I'll sit here to make it look like I'm studying, so she doesn't come in for a surprise inspection," Wang Ge said cheerfully.
"Okay."
"Speaking of which, the walls in your room are a bit bare."
Wang Ge looked around. "You don't even have any celebrity posters or anything?"
"I don't follow celebrities, and I don't have time to," Chen Yanxi shook her head.
"My parents don't follow celebrities either, but they still have lots of posters of handsome young idols in their room."
"Oh?"
"It's mostly my mom who put them up. She always complains that my dad is old and greasy and doesn't like washing his feet," Wang Ge shrugged.
Chen Yanxi chuckled softly.
Ever since the fake girlfriend incident, Chen Yanxi had decided not to push Wang Ge away, and their relationship had naturally become much closer.
So, since then, when they studied together in the library at night, if Wang Ge got bored, he would often ramble on about random things like this. It was usually Wang Ge talking, and she would listen, occasionally responding.
She actually quite enjoyed listening to Wang Ge ramble like this. It was all about trivial but interesting things, things she had never experienced, and it was very relaxing.
—If Wang Ge didn't suddenly go off the rails.
"Wait, I just remembered, I don't seem to have any posters in my room either. It's pretty bare too."
Hearing this, Chen Yanxi suddenly had a premonition: Wang Ge was about to go off the rails.
(Note: "Going off the rails" means to suddenly act crazy or lose one's mind, switching from one topic to another while doing something.)
Sure enough, the next second, Wang Ge pulled out his phone and took three quick photos of her face.
"What are you… doing?"
"Just getting some posters for my room," Wang Ge said matter-of-factly, holding up his phone. "Come on, Xixi, strike a pose! Give me a heart, or a peace sign is fine too…"
Chen Yanxi: "…"
Wang Ge continued talking to himself, "I'm going to make posters out of your photos and stick them on my room walls. Yep, cover the whole wall!"
"…Won't I be considered a pervert?"
"How could that be? I'm a fan, not a stalker. At most, I'm just overly enthusiastic. Calling me a pervert is too much, don't you think?" Wang Ge retorted seriously.
"A fan?"
"Exactly!" Wang Ge said with a solemn expression. "Xixi, from today on, you are my idol, and I am your fan—an overly enthusiastic and brainless one!"
What idol, what fan… Chen Yanxi rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
"A true fan should have a title. Let me think… IXi! Yes, from today on, I am iXi!"
Wang Ge clenched his fist tightly. "Xixi, fly high, iXi will always follow!"
Chen Yanxi: "…"
If the person in front of Wang Ge right now were Gu Panyan instead of Chen Yanxi, Gu Panyan might have mocked him or scolded him:
"Are you addicted to role-playing? Just a moment ago you were a teacher and student giving after-school tutoring, and now you want to play idol and fan?"
"Are you going to ask me if I know how to 'fry fans' next?"
Unfortunately, Chen Yanxi didn't have Gu Panyan's strong assertiveness.
She just pursed her lips and chose to continue her homework, ignoring Wang Ge.
Wang Ge chuckled and didn't say anything else, quietly playing on his phone.
The room fell silent for a moment, with only the rustling sound of a pen tip scratching against paper.
Chen Yanxi was diligently doing her homework, while Wang Ge had set his phone to silent.
It wasn't that he was particularly thoughtful, but rather because he was chatting with Gu Panyan.
Don't ask, if you ask, he's feeling guilty.

Gu Panyan: "How do I do this problem?"
Wang Ge slowly typed, sending her the answer sentence by sentence.
Just as he was sending the fourth sentence, Gu Panyan seemed to find it troublesome and sent a video call request.
"Buzz~"
Wang Ge had set his phone to silent, but forgot to turn off the vibration, causing the buzzing sound to break the room's tranquility. Startled, Wang Ge quickly hung up on her.
Although he hadn't officially started dating either of them, Wang Ge felt very guilty.
Hearing the sound, Chen Yanxi glanced back at him, "Why did you hang up? You can answer, don't mind me."
This was a video call, if I answered, wouldn't it just be a pure love triangle... Wang Ge muttered to himself, then smiled and said, "It's fine, it's nothing important, no need."
Chen Yanxi nodded slightly and didn't say anything more, turning back to continue her problems.
At the same time, Wang Ge's phone received a message from Gu Panyan after he hung up:
"Is it inconvenient? What a shame, I was going to show you some special content."
Special content?
Wang Ge's eyes lit up, and he immediately typed back, "What special content?"
Gu Panyan: "My mom found out I started Learning Skill recently and got a bit excited, so she bought me a lot of clothes."
"The clothes she bought me seem to be the kind you like, various dresses and the like, and also some stockings of different styles."
"I was going to wear them for you to see, but since it's inconvenient for you, then forget it."
Wang Ge stared intently at Gu Panyan's messages on his phone screen for a full minute.
Then, he suddenly reached out and clutched his chest.
His expression was as if he had suddenly lost a hundred million, filled with pain.
But immediately after, he narrowed his eyes, recalling the last 'leg touching' incident, and felt a bit suspicious.
Is this woman painting a pretty picture for me again?
