Jiang Qiuyi Doesn't Know Her Mother Already Knows

Jiang Qiuyi sat up abruptly, her black hair falling over her shoulders. She was wearing a pink camisole, and her fair legs were exposed from beneath the covers.

She and Chen Wen exchanged a look, staring at each other blankly.

Yesterday, they had been pretending to be ordinary childhood friends. Now, they were caught in bed together. It was going to be so awkward…

It wasn't that their parents absolutely couldn't know, but Jiang Qiuyi had been planning some elaborate moves for the summer. It would be a shame if everything was exposed prematurely.

"Hello? Why isn't anyone talking?"

Her mother's confused voice came through the phone.

"Ah, I'm here…" Jiang Qiuyi responded, her mind racing as she quickly came up with an excuse. "I'm in Chen Wen's room, waking him up."

As she spoke, Jiang Qiuyi got out of bed, quickly took off her pajamas, and grabbed the tracksuit next to her, pulling it on.

Dressed, Jiang Qiuyi looked at Chen Wen on the bed and beckoned him to get up quickly.

But Chen Wen, seeing Jiang Qiuyi with only her undergarments on after taking off her pajamas, was clearly stunned.

"You're waking him up? Really?"

"Can't I?" Jiang Qiuyi's eyes darted around as she quickly added to the logic of the situation. "You said yesterday that Chen Wen was responsible for the morning runs, so shouldn't I prove myself?"

"I see." Lu Fangmei's voice came from the other end, followed by the sound of a door opening. "Then I'm coming over. Open the door."

"Ah?" Jiang Qiuyi tensed up, but maintained a calm tone, pretending nothing was wrong. "Wait a moment, I'm coming."

She hung up the phone and hurriedly changed into her tracksuit for the morning run. She tossed her pink camisole onto the bed, and it landed right on Chen Wen's head.

"I'll go open the door," Jiang Qiuyi said as she walked out of the bedroom. "Hide my pajamas, then get up quickly. I'll try to stall Mom in the other room."

Chen Wen instinctively took a breath, removed the pajamas from his head, and seeing Jiang Qiuyi had already left, he sprang up from the bed.

He stuffed Jiang Qiuyi's pajamas into the closet, changed into his tracksuit, and then heard Aunt Lu's voice at the door.

"Where's Xiao Chen?"

"He just got up," Jiang Qiuyi replied. "I haven't brushed my teeth yet, I'll go back and do that first."

With that, Jiang Qiuyi closed the door, not giving her mother a chance to enter.

Chen Wen walked out of the bedroom and looked at the empty living room before finally heading into the bathroom to wash up.

As he squeezed toothpaste onto his brush, Chen Wen subconsciously reached for the Blue Rabbit toothbrush, only then realizing that Jiang Qiuyi wasn't brushing her teeth with him today.

After washing his face, Chen Wen walked out of the room and went to the door of 902, pressing the doorbell.

Lu Fangmei opened the door.

"Xiao Chen, good morning."

"Good morning, Aunt Lu."

"Qiuqiu is still in the bathroom, please wait a moment." Aunt Lu turned and walked towards the sofa, picking up a blanket to take it to the balcony to wash.

Chen Wen didn't say anything and followed, helping Aunt Lu lift the blanket and place it on the balcony.

While helping, Chen Wen observed Aunt Lu's expression. It was normal, with no special reactions.

It seemed that what happened this morning hadn't been exposed.

"Xiao Chen must have a lot of girls chasing him at school, right?" Aunt Lu asked casually, as if making small talk.

"Um… I guess so."

"Do you have anyone you like?"

"At school… no."

"Boys at your age, third year, you can start dating someone," Aunt Lu said with a smile. "I see other kids dating in their first or second year."

Chen Wen didn't know how to respond, so he just nodded.

Fortunately, at this moment, Jiang Qiuyi finished applying sunscreen and came out of the bathroom, calling out to Chen Wen, "Let's go, time for our morning run."

"Okay," Chen Wen followed, and as they were leaving, he asked from the balcony, "Aunt Lu, have you eaten breakfast yet? Should I bring you something back later?"

"Yes, yes, I forgot." Aunt Lu replied. "Thank you for your trouble, Xiao Chen."

"It's nothing."

Watching the door to the apartment close, Aunt Lu sighed with some emotion.

Although she hadn't seen any direct evidence this morning, the bed where Qiuqiu slept was as clean as could be, not even a single strand of hair.

Who would believe that she had just woken up?

However, based on this alone, Lu Fangmei couldn't be completely sure.

But when she saw Jiang Qiuyi earlier, she had specifically glanced at her daughter's right hand and found a dark blue ring.

The netizens didn't know the relationship between Jiang Qiuyi and Chen Wen in their daily lives, but how could Lu Fangmei not know?

With the ring confirmed, coupled with various small details, Lu Fangmei had already guessed their relationship with about eighty to ninety percent certainty.

Since Qiuqiu wanted to keep it a secret, she would let her. Lu Fangmei had no intention of exposing them.

After all, she had watched Xiao Chen grow up since he was little, so she wasn't afraid of him messing around. It was Qiuqiu who was more likely to cause trouble.

Even for the small matter of buying breakfast just now, her own daughter never asked like that, but Chen Wen thought of it first.

If these two kids really got together, Lu Fangmei felt that she would probably be more happy than not.

"What did my mom say to you?" Jiang Qiuyi asked curiously as they walked out of the elevator.

"Nothing much, she just asked if I had a girl I liked at school and said I could find one."

"Why is Mom like this?" Jiang Qiuyi pouted, "Hmph!"

"Don't hug me, you can see from the balcony."

"Oh, right."

Half an hour later, after their morning run, the two sat down at Aunt Liu's breakfast shop by the entrance.

"Speaking of which, what are you planning to do during the summer vacation? You have to keep it a secret from us," Chen Wen asked while taking a sip of sweet soy milk.

"It's nothing much," Jiang Qiuyi said coyly, "It's just one of the plans for my alternate account's videos."

Ever since they got their joint Bilibili account, Jiang Qiuyi had been frequently using her camera to film their daily lives.

Although not a single video had been released yet, a large pile of related footage had already been accumulated.

Now that the exams were finally over, Jiang Qiuyi had time to edit the videos.

Of course, this was all contingent on her mother upstairs leaving.

Otherwise, if that footage were to be seen, the whole thing would be exposed in an instant.

After breakfast, the two returned to their rented apartment and handed the breakfast they bought to Lu Fangmei.

After a simple meal, Lu Fangmei changed all of Jiang Qiuyi's quilts, sheets, and pillowcases, gave the place a thorough cleaning, and left around nine in the morning.

Back at the hotel, Lu Fangmei couldn't help but feel a strange mix of emotions when she thought about her daughter dating.

Finally unable to resist, she took out her phone and found Chen Wen's mother's number.

"Hello, Xue Jing, I have something to tell you..."

[Pu Jie Ri Ji]: After much deliberation, I decided whether or not to let the relationship between the two be exposed first. In the end, I decided to go for a more dramatic route, which should be more interesting than the original plan.

Also, please give me a recommendation ticket~ I know that my current update schedule of two chapters a day, occasionally one, is a bit lackluster, but sweet, dog-food style novels like this are rare. I've also been looking for similar books to recharge myself and avoid any toxic plot points... The previous He Ran plot was like this; writing too fast tends to cause problems. If I go slower and get timely feedback from you all, I can still make adjustments. Please bear with me. At the start of a new book, the opening plot is crucial for the overall performance of the book, and I hope to make it as good as possible
