"Mr. Fang, please sign for the delivery."
In front of Fang Ren, who had turned into a statue, the delivery guy still wore that polite smile as he repeated his request.
"Sign... I'll sign."
Fang Ren took the delivery form with a blank face, his heart pounding, hands trembling; he really didn't have that kind of habit.
"Mr. Fang, I hope you can give me a five-star rating. I wish you a happy life and academic success. Thank you!"
After reluctantly signing his name on the delivery form, Fang Ren watched the delivery guy looking at him with a polite smile, even asking for a positive review.
Damn it! Can your service be any less excellent? Can't you just drop it off at the security office at the school gate so I can pick it up?
Fang Ren was completely devastated.
After signing for the delivery, Fang Ren immediately stuffed the parcel into his desk slot, looking listlessly at Bai Qi beside him.
What a disaster, I will definitely not order from this company again!
...
Fang Ren had a hazy day today, feeling like he was being watched wherever he went, and there were always whispers around him, making him uncomfortable.
Compared to him, Bai Qi was treated differently. Many girls in the class still liked to gather around her to chat and seemed to enjoy it very much. Some of the girls even occasionally expressed pity for Bai Qi having Fang Ren, that hooligan, as her fiancé.
Liu Qianqian did not seek out Fang Ren for more conversation either. She remained preoccupied with whether her lingerie had indeed been stolen by Fang Ren.
Then there was Jian Qi'er, who hadn't returned to school, likely dragged by her agent to film.
That evening, Fang Ren withdrew some money for Bai Qi. Although she knew Fang Ren was rich now, she used very little, yet Fang Ren insisted on giving it to her.
As for the lingerie... Fang Ren gave it back to her face to face that night.
Tonight, Fang Ren had intended to simply have a meal and then go to an empty classroom to practice alchemy and cultivation, but Bai Qi insisted on eating dinner with him, so he went with her to a place off campus.
Just as they arrived at the place to eat, Fang Ren got a message from Liu Qianqian on his phone, asking if he had eaten yet and inviting him to join her.
Fang Ren replied that he was out and invited her to join them, but as soon as Liu Qianqian heard that Bai Qi was also there, she suddenly made an excuse that something came up and didn't come.
"Hey, I heard from the class president that you signed up for the pill competition this time?" Bai Qi asked him.
"I'm just going to mess around," Fang Ren replied casually.
"You still have time to mess around?" Bai Qi glanced at him and said, "Isn't your goal to marry Sister Hui Qing? Instead of cultivating, what are you doing joining in the fun for no reason?"
"Well… Chasing a goddess shouldn't be rushed, right?"
"Forget it, I suppose you're just joking about wanting to marry Sister Hui Qing anyway."
"Is that so." Fang Ren smiled and did not elaborate further.
"Sigh," Bai Qi suddenly looked distressed and let out a sigh, "Sister Hui Qing is already twenty-five this year, and she could get married at any time. Moreover, once she does, it's bound to be with Brother Song, and even though I've advanced to the Xuanyang realm, I can't continue to cultivate. How could I possibly stop the two of them from getting married?"
Fang Ren glanced at her and asked, "Do you like your Brother Song that much?"
"Yeah, I want to be with Brother Song, but I don't know how he feels about me, or what his feelings are for Sister Hui Qing. Anyway, I only know that Sister Hui Qing, that battle maniac, isn't interested in any man at all. For someone to catch her fancy—well, there is no such person at the moment," Bai Qi said.
"Yes, how could Madame Xuan possibly fall in love with a mortal man?" Fang Ren nodded repeatedly after hearing this, praising himself secretly, as he is no ordinary person.
"Brother Song is already a dragon and phoenix among people, it's just that Sister Hui Qing... seems totally clueless about romantic feelings between men and women. Every time I talk to her, she seems so indifferent, with her mind always on her brothers and sisters on the battlefield and comforting Earth," Bai Qi said as she took a bite of her food.
"Really?"
A smile involuntarily appeared on Fang Ren's face as he recalled the shameless acts he and Mu Huanqing had done in bed.
Apathetic? Well, she isn't like that with him—she's the one who takes the initiative and tells him to speed up.
"What are you laughing at?" Bai Qi frowned and said, "The people you and I like could get married at any moment."
"Yes."
Fang Ren continued to nod; this girl was absolutely right, Mu Huanqing was about to get married, but the man she was marrying was him.
Bai Qi, seeing his indifferent expression, began to feel more and more that this guy claiming he would marry Sister Hui Qing was just creating a fuss, not taking it seriously in his heart at all.
"That's right, you've only met Sister Hui Qing once; it's impossible for you to truly fall for her. Of course, you're not in a hurry since she's marrying someone else," Bai Qi said fretfully. "But it's different for me. I really like Brother Song, and I would be very sad if he got married."
Fang Ren didn't say anything, letting the girl indulge in her own fantasies.
"Although I really like Brother Song, I am currently your fiancée. Even if Brother Song has feelings for me, I need to break off the engagement first," Bai Qi added.
"If the two of you really like each other, is it that important whether the engagement is broken off or not?" Fang Ren said.
"Of course, it's important," Bai Qi said seriously. "If I get together with Brother Song before breaking off the engagement, what would everyone in Tianjiang think of you? You're such a nice person; I wouldn't want you to be wronged."
"Er..."
Fang Ren smiled awkwardly, suddenly feeling a bit guilty towards her—he and Mu Huanqing were already parents!
"Anyway, talking about this is very annoying," Bai Qi said with a displeased face. "Grandpa is really something, too. You don't like me, I don't like you, yet he insists on pushing us together, not allowing the engagement to be broken off."
"Yes."
Fang Ren had been nodding in agreement all along.
Listening to Bai Qi say these things, he suddenly felt a bit sorry for her. She didn't even know she was being treated as an experimental subject, and she was unaware of the reason and consequences of the engagement not being broken off, not to mention she hadn't the slightest clue about what was going on between him and Mu Huanqing.
It seemed as though everything was quite unfair to her.
After a few bites of her meal, Bai Qi's thoughts turned gloomier. She didn't want Fang Ren to be the subject of gossip, nor did she want to just lose the one she loved.
"Can I have a beer?"
Bai Qi suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Fang Ren was taken aback: "Why would you want beer all of a sudden?"
"I'm worried, and you're not," Bai Qi said, frowning. "Your liking for her seems like a foolish caper, but I genuinely like him."
Who is truly making a fuss?
The truth would have to be proven.
