June 13th, Friday.
The morning was shrouded in mist. Jiang Qiuyi got up, stood by the window, and stretched. Her pajamas rode up, revealing a slim, alluring strip of waist.
"Mmm~" After stretching, Jiang Qiuyi pounced on Chen Wen, who had just gotten up, and held out one side of her face. "Kiss me~"
Perhaps he already had some experience, and Jiang Qiuyi was simply too clingy, so Chen Wen did not hesitate for long before lowering his head and kissing her left cheek.
Just as Chen Wen was about to get up, Jiang Qiuyi presented her other cheek. "This side too~"
Smack.
After stamping both sides, Chen Wen finally left the bedroom. Jiang Qiuyi skipped along behind him as they entered the bathroom together to wash up.
As he squeezed out toothpaste, Chen Wen glanced through the mirror at the fair, glowing face of the girl beside him and unconsciously pursed his lips.
It felt a little sweet.
After washing up, they went out for a morning run. Then, with their backpacks on, they parted ways at the entrance to the residential complex and headed to their respective schools.
Today was the last day of Jiang Qiuyi's final exams this semester.
Once she finished the last two exams that morning, she would be completely free.
After entering the school, Jiang Qiuyi took out her phone while heading toward her exam room.
Jiang Qiuyi: You don't have classes this afternoon, right?
My Silly Idiot Blockhead: Yeah.
Jiang Qiuyi: Then shall we go see a movie?
My Silly Idiot Blockhead: Okay.
Jiang Qiuyi: Then I'll come find you at your school at noon! Let's have lunch together in your cafeteria~
My Silly Idiot Blockhead: Sure.
Jiang Qiuyi: (nice~.JPG)
At noon, Chen Wen stood at the entrance to the University of Finance and Economics.
Jiang Qiuyi: I just got off the subway. I'll be there soon!
Chen Wen: Yeah, I'm at the East Gate.
The moment he put down his phone, Chen Wen heard several voices calling out beside him—
"Chen Wen?"
Turning around, Chen Wen saw that it was his three roommates from his freshman and sophomore years, so he nodded at them.
"What are you doing here by yourself? We're planning to see a movie. Want to come with us?" one of the more outgoing roommates asked as he stepped forward.
Although Chen Wen was usually quiet, he treated people well. Since he was handy, he had personally installed things like the router and washing machine in their dorm back then.
Whenever someone in the dorm had computer trouble, asking Chen Wen would usually solve it.
So even though they did not keep in touch much normally, the three roommates all thought highly of Chen Wen.
"I'm waiting for someone. You guys go ahead," Chen Wen said.
"Waiting for someone?" The three roommates were a little surprised.
At school, Chen Wen had always been a loner. They had never seen him with any friends.
Now that they suddenly heard he was waiting for someone, they were naturally curious.
Just then, a pleasant voice rang out from outside the school gate.
"Chen Wen~" A lovely figure ran over from outside and threw herself straight into Chen Wen's arms.
Jiang Qiuyi nuzzled against him in his arms, then wrapped herself around his arm and curiously looked at the three boys beside them. "Hello, I'm Chen Wen's girlfriend, Jiang Qiuyi~"
The three single roommates stared blankly at the pretty girl in Chen Wen's arms, instantly sinking into inexplicable sorrow.
"H-Hello..."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
"Ahem... We won't interrupt you two. We'll get going first."
Watching the three roommates' dejected, miserable backs fade into the distance, Chen Wen lowered his head and looked at Jiang Qiuyi, whose face was brimming with delight. "Happy now?"
Jiang Qiuyi hugged Chen Wen's arm as she walked into the University of Finance and Economics campus, smugly swaying her head without saying a word.
She had no idea how many times she had rehearsed scenes like suddenly revealing their relationship in front of people Chen Wen knew.
Today was the first time she had actually put it into practice.
Honestly, it had felt really great just now.
Thinking that, she secretly rejoiced. Ignoring the attention of so many people along the way, she clung tightly to Chen Wen's arm, looking utterly intimate with him.
To everyone else who saw that scene, it dealt who knew how many devastating blows.
After entering the cafeteria, they lined up. Chen Wen looked over the menu on the screen and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Sweet and sour pork ribs~ Spicy chicken~"
"Okay."
When it was their turn, Chen Wen ordered at the front while Jiang Qiuyi secretly took off the dark blue ring on her hand and waved it back and forth over the card reader's sensor.
Naturally, there was no response. After all, Chen Wen had already deactivated the chip inside it.
After paying by card, they carried their trays to a window-side seat.
"Why did you order nothing but vegetables?" Only after sitting down did Jiang Qiuyi notice that Chen Wen had ordered cabbage and winter melon stir-fried with bamboo shoots.
"All the meat is on your tray." Chen Wen picked up his chopsticks, put a piece of sweet and sour pork rib into his mouth, then took a bite of rice.
Jiang Qiuyi rolled her eyes at him, but inwardly, she was thrilled.
Halfway through the meal, Jiang Qiuyi could not help taking out her phone to browse Bilibili. Her eyes immediately lit up. "That video where you took apart the Silver Play Button has passed a million views."
"Yeah." Chen Wen kept eating, clearly not taking it too seriously.
That video had not involved much technical skill. It was purely carried by the gimmick of the subject matter.
So even if it performed well, Chen Wen would not be especially happy.
Rather than spending time on that, he might as well go home and finish the final steps of Dark Repulser. Then he could start preparing the reward for reaching one hundred thousand followers.
But for Jiang Qiuyi, as long as Chen Wen's videos blew up, she was happy. She did not care what the content was.
If she had not been worried about exposing herself, she would have long since used her main account to snag a top comment.
With the explosive hook of dismantling a Silver Play Button, the comment section for Chen Wen's video was absolutely wild. Even Bilibili's official account had joined in.
[Bilibili Customer Service]: S-So shocked! (Little TV Stunned.JPG)
The replies underneath were filled with "Official spotted, capture it!" and the occasional amusing comment like "Oh no, the Up Host has caught the official's attention."
[Bilibili Up Host Deacon]: Go ahead, take it apart.
"Make him take it apart!"
"Make him take it apart!"
"..."
Led by the official account, not only was the comment section like this, but even the bullet comments at the beginning of the video had been completely taken over by walls of "Make him take it apart."
The engagement was perfect.
[Ri Dangwu de Chuhe]: Boss Rui: Next time, when you hit a million followers, we'll just mail you the parts for the Gold Play Button directly—without the instruction manual!
[Mou Kaopu Chengnian Feizhai]: The reason it passed review and even got recommended was probably because Bilibili was afraid other Up Hosts would take theirs apart too, so they figured they might as well let everyone see what was inside.
[Wind Dusk]: A fifteen-hundred-thousand-follower account. What a pity. (doge)
Jiang Qiuyi read through the comments again and still could not help bursting into laughter. She kept laughing until Chen Wen tapped on his tray, at which point she obediently put down her phone and continued eating.
"Check the movie tickets at nearby theaters," Jiang Qiuyi said as she ate. "I remember a pretty good one just came out recently, called Dying to Survive."
"Yeah." Chen Wen took out his phone and searched, quickly finding the movie.
Just as he was about to buy the tickets, Jiang Qiuyi kicked him.
"Get the couples' seats, dummy."
