The benefits of a standard room suddenly became apparent that night. After they made a mess of one bed, they took a shower and went straight to sleep on the other bed. If they had stayed in a king-size bed room tonight, they would probably have to clean up until midnight.
Chu Qing slept until almost noon, and before she opened her eyes, she felt the pain in her body. She groaned and opened her eyes reluctantly, and saw that the bed next to her was bare, with nothing on it. She paused, propped herself up in confusion, and heard the sound of washing in the bathroom.
"Qi Weichen?" She called out, only to realize that her voice was hoarse.
The sound of washing in the bathroom stopped immediately, and the next second Qi Weichen came out. His ears turned red when he looked at her.
“… Stop pretending to be innocent. I will never trust you again.” Chu Qing thought about what happened yesterday and almost wanted to bite him.
Qi Weichen sat down beside her nervously and poured her a glass of warm water: "Drink some."
Chu Qing let out an "ah", a smile flashed in Qi Weichen's eyes, and he obediently handed the water to her mouth. Chu Qing drank the water from his hand without hesitation.
After feeding him a glass of water, Qi Weichen asked in a low voice: "Does it still hurt?"
"What do you think?" Chu Qing gave him an unpleasant look. She was in pain all over her body, especially in a place that was difficult to talk about. It was so painful and sore. She thought he would be gentle, but he turned out to be a beast, a beast without any rules at all.
Qi Weichen knew he was in the wrong, and after a moment of silence he said guiltily, "I will pay attention next time."
“… Don’t do it again. This has only happened once.” Chu Qing was still in pain, and she instantly resisted when she heard his words.
Qi Weichen knew it was not the right time to bring this up, so he stood up and said, "I've already asked for leave, you can sleep a little longer, and I'll take you to dinner after I hang up the sheets."
"There's no washing machine in the room, can't you just pay to wash your clothes? Don't tell me you wash them by hand." Although Chu Qing was angry that he would not be gentle with women, she still felt sorry for him.
Qi Weichen paused, and the tips of his ears turned even redder: "There's some blood on it, it's not suitable for others to wash."
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and she gritted her teeth even more: "Why does it hurt so much? If you have good skills, you shouldn't bleed."
"I was too anxious yesterday, I'm sorry." Qi Weichen tried hard to calm down, but his muscles were so stiff that they were sore.
Chu Qing lay down silently and glanced at him for a while: "Well, have you taken all the measures?" Her mind was a mess yesterday, and she didn't know whether he had done those things. She only knew that when she woke up, she saw an opened box of family planning products.
"It's done. I'm very careful." Qi Weichen said hurriedly.
Chu Qing was relieved after hearing this, and covered herself with the quilt with a red face, looking like she refused to communicate. Qi Weichen looked at her hesitantly, and said nothing for a long time, pursed his lips and went to the bathroom.
The two stayed in the hotel for a day and returned to school the next day. Chu Qing was afraid that others would make fun of them. Fortunately, Qi Weichen asked for leave because he was going out to eat with his family, and his classmates didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After that night, Chu Qing did not go to the hotel with Qi Weichen to review, but stayed in the dormitory honestly. Occasionally, when she encountered something she did not understand, she would ask him via video. Qi Weichen was very obedient, and whatever she said was what Chu Qing could not help but sigh that part of what her roommate said was still correct. After two people really had a relationship, men would indeed be much more obedient.
With the help of Qi Weichen, Chu Qing successfully completed the exam, and was even lucky enough to get into the top three and get a scholarship.
After checking her grades during the winter break, Chu Qing couldn't believe it. When she was chatting with her roommate on the phone, she said, "How did I do so well in the exam when I was such a poor student?"
"What exactly do you mean by 'bad'?" asked the roommate casually.
Chu Qing immediately said, "I don't understand a lot of things. When Qi Weichen was teaching me, I really felt that I wouldn't pass."
“… If you must use the academic genius as a reference, then we are all trash.” The roommate was speechless.
Chu Qing thought so too. After getting used to seeing Qi Weichen's grades, she couldn't help but compare herself with him. After the comparison, she felt like a loser. But she didn't expect that when she looked back, a large group of people were not as good as her.
Chu Qing happily ended the conversation with her roommate, and then sent a message to Qi Weichen: There is a new restaurant opened near your house, let's go eat.
Qi Weichen quickly replied with an "OK", and Chu Qing went to find him happily.
The two of them sat down in the corner of the restaurant. Chu Qing chattered to him, and Qi Weichen listened quietly with a smile on his lips.
"I've come to a conclusion. From now on, I will not only look at people like you who are so capable, but also look at those who are not as good as me, so that I won't get an unbalanced mentality over time." Chu Qing chattered.
Qi Weichen poured her a glass of water: "When you were looking at me before, did you feel unbalanced?"
"Of course not. You're so great. I can't be more proud of you." Chu Qing replied immediately.
A hint of smile flashed across Qi Weichen's eyes: "So, don't look at others, just look at me."
Chu Qing paused for a moment, speechless: "When I say 'look', I don't mean to stare at someone, but to find someone for reference. Are you jealous too?"
"I'm not jealous, I just know that becoming excellent will make you happy, so I want you to be happy all the time." Qi Weichen said gently.
Chu Qing snorted: "How do you know I'm happy? I'm under a lot of pressure?"
"You've told me about the scholarship seven times since you sat down." Qi Weichen exposed her.
Chu Qing tried to hold back her laughter, but couldn't help laughing. "That's because I've never won this thing since I was a child. You don't know, I told my mom about the scholarship, and she went on a trip with her best friends early this morning to celebrate. She looked happier than me."
Qi Weichen moved his fingertips: "How long will she be gone?"
"About four or five days, going to the beach." Chu Qing said casually.
Qi Weichen lowered his eyes: "I remember... Dad went on a business trip two days ago?"
"Well, I'm the only one at home now." Chu Qing said while eating.
Qi Weichen stopped talking immediately. Chu Qing was halfway through eating when she realized his silence and looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Do you... want to stay at my house for two days?" Qi Weichen asked in a low voice.
Chu Qing was about to agree, but when she saw his red ears, she was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that what he said about staying at his house for two days was definitely more than just "staying" for two days.
Actually, since the first time, the two of them have never done it again. One reason is that they are very busy with exams, and the other is that Chu Qing can't help but avoid it when she thinks of the pain. She actually looked up information and knew that it wouldn't hurt anymore, but she just resisted it a little.
There was silence at the table for a moment, Qi Weichen lowered his eyes and said, "It's okay if you don't go. I'm just asking, don't feel burdened."
Chu Qing: "...Are you pretending to be pitiful now?"
"No." Qi Weichen said, turning his face away silently.
Chu Qing glanced at him and said, "Stop pretending. I won't fall for it now."
Qi Weichen pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Chu Qing took a deep breath, put a piece of braised pork into his bowl, and said angrily after a while: "Eat quickly, and then go to my house to get two sets of clothes, and then go to your house."
Qi Weichen paused and picked up the chopsticks silently.
Chu Qing raised her eyebrows: "If you want to laugh, don't hold it back."
Qi Weichen could no longer restrain the corners of his lips from rising, and he expressed his happiness implicitly.
Chu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Who did you learn this trick of pretending to be pitiful and coquettish from?"
Qi Weichen pondered for a moment: "I was originally going to follow you, but after thinking about it, I decided to use Qi Muyang's method. After all, he seems to have more experience in dealing with you."
Chu Qing: “…”
After the two of them finished their meal, they took their clothes and went back to Qi Weichen's house. Before going upstairs, Chu Qing suddenly asked, "Did you buy that thing?"
"… Um."
Chu Qing narrowed her eyes: "When did you buy it? Could it be that this was planned for a long time?"
"No, I just ordered it online and it's hanging on the door now." Qi Weichen said calmly.
When Chu Qing heard that thing was hanging on the door, her face turned red and she urged him to go back, lest any neighbor saw them and thought they were perverts.
Fortunately, the merchant paid great attention to privacy. Those things were packed in black gift boxes. From the appearance, you really couldn't tell anything. Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, took the things off the door handle, opened the door and went in.
Qi Weichen followed her silently, and after they entered, he closed the door and hugged her from behind.
Chu Qing instantly felt something pressing against her. She was stunned for a moment and then became nervous: "Now, now?"
"Is it okay?" Qi Weichen kissed her neck from behind.
Chu Qing swallowed her saliva, and suddenly her legs went weak: "I, I'm a little scared."
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment, then he stood up straight and pulled her over, staring at her calmly: "I have changed everything."
"Um?"
"I've read a lot of tutorials recently, and I've corrected all the things I did poorly before." Qi Weichen's ears were red, but his tone was unusually calm. "Can you trust me again?"
Facing his dark eyes, Chu Qing suddenly felt less scared and responded softly. Qi Weichen relaxed his shoulders slightly, pinched her chin and kissed her, whispering between his lips: "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me and I will stop."
Chu Qing: “…” What familiar words. I wasn’t nervous at first, but now I’m scared again.
Qi Weichen noticed her tenseness, but he was not in a hurry for a moment. He patiently carried her to the sofa until she became soft like a puddle of water, then he started the next step.
Chu Qing's consciousness gradually became blurred, and she was completely trapped in the big net he had woven. Her mind was filled with only one thought: the academic genius is worthy of being an academic genius. He only had one experience, but he was still able to make rapid progress. If I didn't believe in his character, I would really suspect whether he had done something behind her back.
An entire afternoon was wasted like this, and Chu Qing ended up lying lazily in bed, not wanting to move. But she finally experienced the fun of this matter, and when Qi Weichen pestered her again in the evening, she felt a little bit of anticipation.
Chu Qing originally planned to stay at Qi Weichen's place for two days, but she stayed until her parents came home before she left. On the first night apart, she actually had some insomnia.
As soon as her parents came back, she could no longer be with Qi Weichen as she pleased. Their dates were once again limited to daytime, but compared to before, there were more scenes that were not suitable for children.
After the winter vacation, the two returned to school. Qi Weichen worked on projects with his tutor all day, while Chu Qing joined several clubs. Although the two would meet during class, they would go about their own business after class. They only had the chance to spend time together when they occasionally went out to stay in a hotel.
Even though we are in the same class, it feels like we are in a long-distance relationship.
Qi Weichen didn't think there was anything wrong with this at first, until one day when he saw someone he didn't recognize next to Chu Qing, he realized that they had been communicating too little recently and he didn't even know what new friends she had.
"Xiao Qi, where is your girlfriend? Why hasn't she come to pick you up recently?" In the laboratory, the old tutor asked curiously.
Qi Weichen lowered his eyes: "She is busy too."
"What can a freshman do?" the instructor said with a sigh. "I've seen that girl. She's so pretty and has a sunny personality. I don't know how likable she is. You should not just focus on your research. You should also pay more attention to her and don't let others take advantage of you."
Qi Weichen instinctively rejected these words: "She won't."
"When it comes to love, there's no such thing as right or wrong. If you don't spend more time with her, she will find someone who can accompany her every day. How normal." The old mentor looked like an experienced person.
Qi Weichen pursed his lips and said after a while: "Professor, can I take a day off today?"
"It's no use asking for leave. If you accompany her today, can you accompany her tomorrow? You can't give up the project just to accompany her, right?" The tutor frowned, as if he was very worried about their relationship.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "It's not impossible."
The instructor choked and glared, "How dare you! I worked so hard to train you, and this is how you repay me?!"
"She is very important to me." Qi Weichen frowned, as if he really planned to quit the laboratory.
The instructor hurriedly said, "It's not like you have to choose between research and your wife. Sometimes you can have your cake and eat it too."
Qi Weichen paused: "What do you mean?"
"Well, I've seen her transcript. Her grades aren't top-notch, but she's pretty good at hands-on work, and she's bold, careful, and has an unconventional mind. The lab just happens to be in need of someone like her," the instructor said seriously. "How about this, bring her over and I'll talk to her. If she's willing to join, you two can spend every day together in the future."
Qi Weichen fell silent for a moment.
After the instructor finished speaking, he added, "Based on her grades, she should have been unqualified, but for the sake of your marriage..."
"Professor, if you want to recruit her, just say so directly. Don't take such a big detour." Qi Weichen interrupted expressionlessly.
The instructor's mouth twitched: "I'm doing this for your own good. You will definitely be an exchange student in the future. Although her grades are good enough to be admitted to graduate school, it's not necessarily the case for an exchange student. If she comes to the lab to practice, she can go with you in the future, right?"
"Why don't you just ask her directly?" Qi Weichen asked.
The tutor coughed and said, "Didn't I ask for your opinion first? What if you don't want her to come and I force her in? What if it affects you?" He and several other professors were nurturing a talent like Qi Weichen with great care and would not dare to have any mistakes.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "I'll go ask her."
Even if it wasn't for their relationship, Qi Weichen wanted to ask Chu Qing. After all, if she could enter the laboratory, it would be of great help in the future.
That night, he told Chu Qing about this. Chu Qing was silent for a long time and then frowned: "But I still have a lot of things to do in my club."
"You can finish those things first." Qi Weichen said gently.
Chu Qing was a little nervous: "But I don't know anything. What if I mess up something in the lab?"
"I'm here, and you can hug my thighs."
Chu Qing felt relieved when she heard this. She had no reason to refuse a place like the laboratory where other people wanted to enter but couldn't, so she readily agreed. So a week later, there was a new girl in the laboratory, and then Qi Weichen found that because they were too busy, they always left the laboratory when the dormitory was about to close, and as a result, they had less time to be alone than before.
After two months of this, he finally held Chu Qing's hand one night and said, "Let's move out."
"Live out?" Chu Qing was surprised.
Qi Weichen nodded: "It's okay to rent or buy, how about we live together?"
The author has something to say: They are living together now. Looking at the comments now, the whole world is asking for Mu Yang's son. Don't worry, it will be soon. There will be another update in the evening.
