[Feng Qingyi: Have you been busy lately?]
Feng Qingyi noticed that recently, Qin Yuchuan's message times were irregular compared to before, so she asked.
[Qin Yuchuan: There are some matters that need to be handled.]
[Feng Qingyi: Then handle them properly. Don't worry about me, I'm not in a hurry to earn points.]
[Qin Yuchuan: Am I just a tool for you to earn points?]
[Feng Qingyi: No, that's not what I meant...]
[Qin Yuchuan: I'm just teasing you.]
[Qin Yuchuan: It's not like I don't even have time to chat with you.]
During this period, the Qin Yuchuan she knew was cool and mature, so teasing her like this was not something she felt he would do.
So, was this hinting at something?
[Feng Qingyi: Why do I feel like you're more eager than me about earning points? Do you also have a mysterious store?]
[Qin Yuchuan: No.]
He was indeed in a hurry, but he couldn't tell her why just yet.
He would make plans after he formally met her in person.
[Qin Yuchuan: Don't think too much about it, we're friends, aren't we?]
[Feng Qingyi: Oh!]
Was it really just that?
She still felt like something was not quite right.
However, Feng Qingyi always adhered to the principle of not troubling herself if she couldn't figure it out, so she didn't probe further.
Qin Yuchuan was also relieved that Feng Qingyi was not the type to dig deeper, otherwise he wouldn't know how to explain to her.
He liked the feeling of having everything under control, and it was too early now. He wouldn't fight a battle he wasn't confident of winning.
He could tell that she truly only saw him as a friend, but what he wanted was not just to be friends with her.
[Qin Yuchuan: At this time, you should go practice your instrument.]
[Feng Qingyi: Yeah, we'll talk later.]
Feng Qingyi picked up her phone, "I'm going to practice music, Yue..."
"I know, I'll help you carry your books, no problem." Shen Hanyue answered before Feng Qingyi could finish.
Feng Qingyi smiled and gestured a heart at Shen Hanyue, "Love you!"
The days at school were very peaceful, without any waves.
As the National Day holiday approached, everyone was planning trips.
Feng Qingyi also received a message from Feng Qingci, saying that he wouldn't be going home for the holiday and would be traveling with his roommates instead.
She could also take this opportunity to move some of her belongings from the dorm.
As for Feng Qingyi moving out of the dorm, her three roommates were very reluctant.
Shen Hanyue: "Qingyi, we've been living together for a year now without any issues. Why are you thinking of moving out?"
Feng Qingyi explained, "Don't worry, the house I'll be staying at is very close to school, so you can come over and visit whenever you have time."
"Besides, I'm not leaving for good. I've already paid the dorm fees, so I'll still stay in the dorm sometimes."
Lou Xi suddenly asked, "Will your brother be moving out to live with you too?"
Feng Qingyi knew that Feng Qingci had been pursuing Lou Xi, but she didn't know what their current situation was.
Lou Xi was her friend, and Feng Qingci was her brother. She couldn't take sides, nor was it appropriate for her to pry.
As for whether they could end up together, that was up to fate. It was better for her to stay out of it.
But why did Lou Xi suddenly bring him up?
"He won't. He's fine living in the dorm."
"That house wasn't secretly bought for you by your parents, was it? And they told you not to tell your brother!" Shen Hanyue guessed.
Feng Qingyi gave Shen Hanyue a meaningful look but didn't say anything.
She was originally going to find an excuse for how she got the house, but Shen Hanyue had already helped her come up with one.
Lou Xi and Qu Jingqiu saw that Feng Qingyi didn't refute it, so they assumed she was confirming it.
After all, Feng Qingyi had previously shared examples of her parents treating her and Feng Qingci differently, so they weren't surprised by this.
Qu Jingqiu, "Today is the last day of classes before the break. Do you need us to help you move your things over?"
Feng Qingyi declined their offer to help.
"I'll just bring some clothes and shoes. The rest of my things can stay here since I'll still be coming back."
Shen Hanyue: "After we come back from the break, can we visit your house?"
"Of course, you're very welcome."
Feng Qingyi thought her roommates would leave early on October 1st.
But they packed up and left right after their last class.
Looking at the empty dorm, Feng Qingyi decided to move to the villa that day.
After packing some clothes and shoes, Feng Qingyi arrived at the villa.
She was the only one in the huge house.
She took out her phone and checked the mysterious store's points - she now had 1,400.
Looking at the various courses in the store, she prepared to purchase another one.
Her martial arts beginner's course was already 70% complete, and she estimated she could finish it in half a month.
Aside from the martial arts course, where the teacher required at least two hours of study per day, there were no strict requirements for the other courses.
However, since she had already purchased them, she felt she should schedule time for them. So during this period, she also studied and practiced her music skills for two hours each day.
She knew her time and energy were limited, but if she could use them reasonably, it was possible.
Moreover, with this seven-day break, she didn't plan to go out and have fun, so she could use the time to study more.
Just as Feng Qingyi was debating which course to choose, Qin Yuchuan called for a video chat.
Feng Qingyi saw it was already 9 PM.
After answering, she noticed that Qin Yuchuan didn't seem to be at home but rather in the wilderness.
It was pitch black around him, and she could only see his face by the faint glow of a fire.
"Are you outside?"
Qin Yuchuan said softly, "Yes, there are some matters that need to be handled."
At this late hour, out in the wild - was it something like murder or arson?
Feng Qingyi thought it, but didn't say it out loud.
"Aren't you going home today? In this remote wilderness, are you sure there's no danger?"
"Don't worry, we often camp outdoors."
So she was worried about him?
Feng Qingyi's understanding of ancient times was limited to novels and TV shows, but that didn't stop her from knowing that the wilderness was dangerous.
"Are you alone?"
Qin Yuchuan glanced at Yan Chi and Yan Yang, whom he had sent away.
"I have two guards with me."
If he wasn't alone, that was good. Three people together should be able to help each other.
"That's fine, do you need anything else? Food or drink, I can send you some."
Qin Yuchuan looked at the sky, "No need, you should rest early, you have class tomorrow."
Feng Qingyi said, "It's a seven-day break for the National Day holiday, so I don't have classes these seven days. I can spend more time chatting with you."
"What is the National Day holiday?"
Qin Yuchuan knew Feng Qingyi had many holidays, but he wasn't clear what this National Day holiday was.
