[You're not going to talk anymore, are you.]

[I left you half of the noodles.]

[After we break up, let's not see each other again.]

[I'm leaving.]

As Jiang Qiuyi waited with her eyes tightly shut for Chen Wen's response, she heard the voice of the female lead reciting lines from a movie.

Didn't they say it was a romance film?

Why is it so ominous?!

Jiang Qiuyi's heart trembled, a bad feeling creeping in.

She didn't know how much time had passed. Still hearing no response from Chen Wen, she opened her eyes with a gasp.

She saw Chen Wen looking around as if searching for something.

"Wh-what are you doing?" Jiang Qiuyi asked, her mind blank. The blush on her face was particularly endearing in the dim light.

"Uh..." Chen Wen replied, stunned. "You're filming a video, right? I'm looking for your camera."

Jiang Qiuyi: "???"

"Could it be a hidden camera?" Chen Wen asked, confused. "Or did you just lose a game of truth or dare?"

"..." Jiang Qiuyi couldn't help but cover her face. "Why can't it be real?"

"...Who confesses their feelings while watching a breakup movie?" Chen Wen scratched his head, completely bewildered.

"How was I supposed to know the plot would be like this!" Jiang Qiuyi said, a little annoyed. She clenched her fists and pressed them against her knees, her face full of regret.

Seeing his childhood friend's adorable expression, Chen Wen was silent for a moment before asking:

"So, was that for real just now?"

The confession had already exhausted all of Jiang Qiuyi's courage. Chen Wen's question made her so shy that she turned her head away.

But to not waste this opportunity, she mustered the last shred of courage from her heart and whispered, "It was real..."

The movie ended, and the lights in the theater came on.

Chen Wen and Jiang Qiuyi stood up in silence and followed the crowd out of the cinema, not saying a word.

Jiang Qiuyi walked beside Chen Wen, half a step behind, carefully observing his expression. Her heart sank lower and lower.

The thought that their relationship might plummet to rock bottom after a failed confession filled her with regret.

Her emotions grew heavier, her eyes misting over. She pursed her lips, holding back tears.

At this moment, they had already left Wanda Plaza and were at an intersection, waiting for the light to change.

Chen Wen watched the red light turn green, then glanced sideways. He silently reached out his right hand and took the girl's soft hand beside him.

When she felt her hand being held, Jiang Qiuyi was startled. When she saw it was Chen Wen's hand, she felt as if she had been struck by immense joy, her head swimming.

"Couples hold hands when they walk, right?" Chen Wen asked, his face serious.

Jiang Qiuyi turned her head, covered her mouth, and giggled. She tightly gripped Chen Wen's calloused, thick palm, her heart filled with joy as she said, "Of course!"

Having confirmed her confession was successful, Jiang Qiuyi happily leaned closer to Chen Wen's arm.

At 168cm, she already stood out among girls, but leaning against the 185cm Chen Wen, she still appeared petite and lovely.

"Do you know what day it is today?"

"Huh?"

"May 20th!"

"...520?"

"So you know too? I thought you were a complete blockhead."

"I didn't think that much about it."

"The couple's seats were chosen specifically too~ so we wouldn't disturb anyone during the confession."

"So the movie was chosen specifically too?"

"...This was the only romance film available at this time! How was I supposed to know there'd be a breakup scene!"

After saying this, Jiang Qiuyi quickly spat on the ground, "We just got together, let's not talk about such ominous things."

The apartment they rented was very close to Wanda Plaza. Within a few minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the residential complex.

They entered the building, took the elevator, and went to the ninth floor.

That's right, their rented apartments were here, but they weren't living together or sharing. They were facing each other.

901 was Chen Wen's, and 902 was Jiang Qiuyi's.

"At the beginning of the year, when I argued with my dad at your place, it was actually planned."

"What do you mean?" Chen Wen was stunned.

"I was the one nagging about wanting to move out, but my dad was worried it was too dangerous for a girl living alone. This way, I can bring you along naturally~"

Jiang Qiuyi hugged Chen Wen's arm, tilting her small face up, her innocent big eyes blinking.

Chen Wen was speechless and silently took out his keys to open the door.

As they entered, Chen Wen noticed Jiang Qiuyi still hadn't let go and asked in surprise, "Aren't you going back to your room?"

"You still have videos to edit, right? Then, as a million-follower UP主, I naturally have to help you check them." Jiang Qiuyi walked into Chen Wen's room 901 as if it were the most natural thing, then turned to look at Chen Wen, who was still at the door, and chuckled, "Come in quickly~"

Chen Wen walked in.

Click.

The door closed.

A man and a woman, alone in a room late at night.

Looking at the beautiful and youthful Jiang Qiuyi standing in the living room, Chen Wen's emotions were a bit complicated.

Honestly, before being confessed to today, he had never even considered dating.

Although Jiang Qiuyi often asked him out, he had always thought it was just pure friendship between childhood friends.

He never expected that Jiang Qiuyi had actually been lusting after him all this time?

If, in the past, Chen Wen viewed Jiang Qiuyi more from the perspective of an older brother looking at his sister, Then at this very moment, perhaps it was the first time he was looking at Jiang Qiuyi from the perspective of a potential romantic partner.

So, even though Jiang Qiuyi had entered Chen Wen's room at night before, this subtle feeling he had at this moment was something he had never experienced before.

Shaking his head, Chen Wen walked into the bedroom and turned on the computer at his desk, opening the video editing page.

Jiang Qiuyi clearly knew Chen Wen's apartment like the back of her hand. She poured two cups of milk in the kitchen and brought them into the bedroom. She placed one cup on the desk and held the other in her hand, sitting on the edge of the bed to watch Chen Wen edit.

Chen Wen filmed the process of making rings every day and did the initial editing that same night.

So, the workload today wasn't large. After two hours, the editing was complete, and with Jiang Qiuyi's suggestions, appropriate background music was added to different segments.

Then, Chen Wen needed to record the voiceover according to the script he had written beforehand.

"Can... can you go out and sit for a while first?"

The thought of someone sitting next to him while he recorded made Chen Wen incredibly uncomfortable.

"Got it~" Jiang Qiuyi said understandingly, got up, and walked out of the bedroom.

However, just as Chen Wen was about to start recording, Jiang Qiuyi's head popped back in, instantly silencing him.

"Are the clothes in the bathroom meant to be washed?" Jiang Qiuyi asked, tilting her head.

"...Yes."

"Then I'll wash them for you. You continue recording."

Chen Wen: "?"

If he remembered correctly, there were some personal items in that pile of clothes...

But before he could say anything, the bedroom door was already closed.

In the bathroom, Jiang Qiuyi held a pile of clothes and walked to the balcony, her small face flushed. Her eyes kept stealing glances at a pair of boxer briefs, filled with a mixture of curiosity and shyness.

It should be normal for a girlfriend to help her boyfriend with laundry, right?

And it should also be normal to check the clothes for anything before washing them, right?

Finding a reasonable justification in her mind, Jiang Qiuyi extended her tentative little paws...

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, despite the interruption from Jiang Qiuyi's actions, Chen Wen quickly got back into work mode, finished the voiceover, and added subtitles.

When Jiang Qiuyi returned to the bedroom, her face slightly flushed after finishing the laundry, Chen Wen's video was completely done and just needed to be uploaded.

He logged into his Bilibili account, "Ill-informed Wen," entered the creator center, and selected "Upload Video."

He entered the title: "Transforming a Meal Card into a Ring."

He then entered the description: "Besides transforming meal cards into rings, they can also be embedded into bracelets, necklaces, or earrings. You just need to control the thickness."

After confirming, Chen Wen loaded the video and was about to click upload when Jiang Qiuyi stopped him.

"No, your title and description aren't engaging enough." Jiang Qiuyi patted Chen Wen's shoulder. "I'll 'beautify' them for you."

Before Chen Wen could even get up to give her his seat, Jiang Qiuyi quickly sat down on his lap.

"Wait..."

"Wait for what? Sit still and don't fidget." Jiang Qiuyi grabbed Chen Wen's hands and wrapped them around her waist before happily starting to type on the keyboard.

This was the first time he was this close to a girl, and Chen Wen's mind went blank. He didn't dare to move at all.

The girl's toned legs under her jeans pressed against his thighs.

Because she had sat down, the hem of his shirt that was tucked into his waistband had come loose.

As Jiang Qiuyi leaned forward to type, a patch of fair skin flickered into view beneath the hem of his shirt, full of youthful elasticity.

And Chen Wen's hands were resting on Jiang Qiuyi's waist.

The rhythmic sound of keyboard typing echoed in the bedroom.

After Jiang Qiuyi finished with the new title and description, she got up with a blush and returned to sit on the edge of the bed, putting on an innocent expression, though her heart was racing.

"Check it out, this title and description are definitely more attractive than your previous one~"

Hearing Jiang Qiuyi, Chen Wen finally shifted his gaze back to the computer screen.

Title: [Modifying a Meal Card into a Ring] What should I give for 520? The UP主 teaches you the correct way to confess~

Description: I don't know if you guys can do it, but I've already succeeded (≧ω≦)/

After Chen Wen finished reading, he pondered for a moment and asked, "520 is almost over today, isn't this a bit of a post-mortem?"

"That's the point!" Jiang Qiuyi gave a cute, mischievous smile. "If even you think it's a post-mortem, other viewers will definitely complain too, and that'll get us a lot of comments."

"Uh..." Chen Wen wouldn't do something like that himself, but he wasn't entirely against the idea. He changed the subject and asked, "What about the description? It wasn't me confessing today, was it?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand~" Jiang Qiuyi put on an innocent expression. "The description means you don't know if the viewers can successfully make the ring, but you've already succeeded~"

Chen Wen was momentarily speechless after hearing Jiang Qiuyi's explanation.

Putting the title and description together, it was too easy to make people jump to conclusions. The first reaction for most people would be that the uploader had successfully confessed, right?

However, since Jiang Qiuyi had successfully argued her point, Chen Wen didn't press the issue further.

He operated the mouse and clicked upload. The video immediately entered the review stage.

"It's almost 11 o'clock," Chen Wen glanced at the time, then turned to the girl on the bed and said, "Let's go wash up and sleep."

"Mhm," Jiang Qiuyi obediently got up, grabbed Chen Wen's sleeve, and looked down as she said, "Walk me."

"...Okay."

Chen Wen took Jiang Qiuyi's soft, boneless hand and walked out of 901, arriving at the door of 902.

Jiang Qiuyi held Chen Wen's hand tightly with one hand while fumbling with her keys with the other, opening the door.

They let go of each other's hands. Jiang Qiuyi stepped through the doorway, then turned back in the next second. Without a word, she threw herself into Chen Wen's arms.

They stood embracing in the hallway for who knows how long, the voice-activated lights turning on and off, off and on.

Chen Wen's hands were initially stiff at his sides, but eventually, he also quietly wrapped his arms around Jiang Qiuyi's slender waist.

After a long while, they reluctantly separated.

The door was gently closed, leaving only the lingering echo of "Goodnight" in the hallway.
