"Thanks?"
Ye Qifeng was slightly taken aback. He pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to Qian Renxue, a tender look suddenly filling them.
Just as Qian Renxue grew faintly flustered under his gaze, he suddenly thanked her sincerely:
"Thank you, Xue'er."
"That's it? Just one sentence of thanks?"
Several black lines immediately appeared on Qian Renxue's forehead. Speechless, she inwardly complained, What the hell? You built it up for so long and looked at me so tenderly, only to say thank you?
"Haha, just kidding."
Ye Qifeng laughed, then quickly reined it in and said seriously, "Xue'er, how do you want me to thank you? Tell me."
"Oh? Anything is fine?"
The black lines on Qian Renxue's face instantly vanished, and she suddenly smiled happily.
"Yes. As long as it's something I can do." Ye Qifeng nodded affirmatively.
Qian Renxue frowned in thought. After a moment, she said with a bright smile:
"How about this? Just promise me one request."
"Alright." Without giving it much thought, Ye Qifeng immediately nodded in agreement, then asked, "What request?"
"I haven't decided yet. I'll tell you once I have."
A smile curved Qian Renxue's lips, and her gaze turned somewhat subtle, as though it carried a hint of triumph.
At that moment, Ye Qifeng suddenly spoke:
"By the way, Xue'er, when we sparred in the Secret Room last time, didn't I win a bet that allowed me to make one request of you?"
"Yes." Qian Renxue froze for a moment, then asked blankly, "Are you going to use it now?"
Glancing around at the empty, quiet, secluded academy grounds, her heart trembled slightly. She could not help thinking, What if Xiao Feng makes some inappropriate request right now? I'm not prepared yet...
Qian Renxue was overthinking things a little at that
