Spending his girlfriend's money to buy gifts for her, it turns out there's even this way of doing things.
"Don't you want to see what he bought?"
Lou Xi glanced at the boxes. "It should be some couple items. He seems to really like buying these things."
Regarding the things Feng Qingci bought, Lou Xi couldn't say she liked them, nor could she say she disliked them. If he liked buying them, she'd let him buy.
At most, they'd just need help moving more stuff during holidays.
Qu Jingqiu had already tidied up the table and sat down. "It feels like your relationship is quite expensive."
Lou Xi said, "It's not like we're buying a house or a car. It won't cost that much."
Feng Qingyi suddenly felt like her cheap brother seemed to have latched onto a golden thigh.
This was practically marrying a rich beauty and reaching the peak of life. She was truly a bit envious!
"Qingyi, I feel like you've been glowing recently. Do you have some good news too?" Qu Jingqiu asked.
Ever since she had been gloomy for a few days last time, Feng Qingyi seemed to be in a good mood every day, occasionally bringing them some delicious treats.
When they asked where these came from, she only said they were from a friend, but they hadn't seen any new friends around her.
Besides that, her whole person radiated a kind of happy aura, as if she had won several hundred million.
Feng Qingyi actually hadn't intended to hide anything, after all, it wasn't something shameful.
She just feared they might not accept it easily, so she hadn't said anything.
Now that someone had asked directly, she decided to be straightforward.
"I have a boyfriend now."
Shen Hanyue stopped playing her game. "What the hell, we're together every day, how did you secretly get into a relationship behind our backs!"
Qu Jingqiu also looked at Feng Qingyi.
"Come clean, what's his name, what does he do, how did you meet?"
Faced with her roommates' interrogation, Feng Qingyi gave a brief introduction.
"We met online, he's an internet friend. He came all the way here specially to celebrate my birthday, and then confessed to me."
"I was conflicted for a few days, but then recently I suddenly figured it out. I quite like him, so I decided to give it a try with him."
Shen Hanyue asked, "Did he look different in person? Is he handsome?"
"That goes without saying. Qingyi always chooses good-looking things. How could she find someone ugly?" Qu Jingqiu said.
Lou Xi spoke up to ask, "What does he do?"
What does he do? Being a general is also a proper occupation.
However, in modern times, he doesn't even have an ID card, let alone a job.
If she were to bring him out to meet friends or go home in the future, they would indeed need a proper identity and occupation.
"His family deals in antiques."
His home is full of antiques, so she might as well say they deal in antiques.
Lou Xi didn't say anything more, but she recalled the friend who had sent her things before, and that plate she had washed. The signs were already there back then.
When Shen Hanyue heard "antiques," the first thing she thought of was wealth.
"Antique business, does that mean he's really rich?"
"...I'm not sure."
His annual salary is five hundred taels, which is only enough to buy ten cloaks. She didn't know if that counted as rich or poor.
Qu Jingqiu asked, "When can we meet him?"
"He's not in the Capital City. When there's a chance, I'll have him treat you all to a meal."
Shen Hanyue: "We'll hold you to that."
...
In the boys' dormitory, Feng Qingci was busy organizing his things.
Shi Yuan sat nearby watching him. "Ci-ge, you've been fussing here for half a day now. Are you planning to move out?"
"You don't understand. These are all gifts from my girlfriend. Of course I need to take them home and store them properly."
Shi Yuan was now quite tired of Feng Qingci constantly mentioning his girlfriend.
He was feeding them dog food every day, completely disregarding the feelings of a single dog like himself.
What was even more enviable was that his girlfriend's birthday gift to him was actually a gaming computer.
The price exceeded 100,000 yuan, with performance incomparable to ordinary computers.
He had long had his eye on that computer, but with an empty wallet, he could only look and not touch.
He felt that after Feng Qingci started using this computer, even his gaming skills seemed to have improved.
Besides that, they used to eat instant noodles together every weekend, but now he goes out on dates every weekend.
Even when he's not on a date, his girlfriend helps order takeout, and the taste is simply amazing.
The two who were once brothers in misery were now worlds apart.
Why couldn't he find such a good girlfriend!
"Ci-ge, I've noticed you've been picking up deliveries every day recently. What have you been buying?"
Feng Qingci looked at the few unopened boxes.
"Don't embarrass yourself by asking. The answer is always 'bought by his girlfriend'," Bu Yuan chimed in timely.
Shi Yuan: "I saw that big red sweater he unpacked a few days ago. It was so tacky, it doesn't look like something a goddess would buy at all."
Hearing this, Feng Qingci retorted, "That's the best-selling couple sweater on Taobao. What do you know?"
"So all these things are actually bought by you yourself. No wonder!"
As a goddess-level figure in the Math Department, Lou Xi had her own style of dressing.
That big red sweater, with a stupid bear printed on it, completely clashed with Lou Xi's cool demeanor.
Feng Qingci felt a bit indignant. "What do you mean 'no wonder'? You're just jealous that I have a girlfriend and you don't. I get what you're saying."
Shi Yuan really wanted to punch him.
"Xi-xi said she really likes the sweater I bought. It's you who has no taste and doesn't know how to appreciate it," Feng Qingci added.
Shi Yuan rolled his eyes. He couldn't be bothered to talk to this self-satisfied idiot anymore.
After classes were suspended, the library and study rooms were once again packed with people.
Feng Qingyi had originally planned to study in the study of her family's villa, but sometimes studying also needs a bit of atmosphere.
Moreover, the library was spacious, and the air conditioning wouldn't make people feel stuffy.
So she went to the library early in the morning with her books.
However, she didn't expect to encounter Song Jingyuan as soon as she sat down.
He looked around at the empty seats, then sat down next to her.
Although she didn't know why he had to sit next to her with so many empty seats around, the library was a public place, and she couldn't just drive him away.
They were all here to review, so she didn't need to think too much about it and quickly immersed herself in studying.
Time always passes quickly when one is focused.
After an hour of solving problems, Feng Qingyi took her cup and went out to get some water.
Song Jingyuan looked at the empty seat and placed a piece of paper inside her book.
When Feng Qingyi returned, she didn't open the book she had been working on earlier.
Instead, she gazed out the window absentmindedly for a while before picking up another book.
After spending the entire morning at the library, she ate lunch alone in the cafeteria and then returned to the villa.
The weather in the Capital City had been clear these days, but despite the sunshine, it was still cold when it should be.
As soon as she got home, Feng Qingyi turned on the air conditioning.
She curled up on the sofa, savoring the rare peaceful afternoon.
