At this moment, Lu Ning was sitting in the car with Ji Chiqian.

Looking at the traffic around her, she couldn't help but worry: "My second brother will definitely send people to find me, and he'll also cause trouble for you at school."

After all, this is the Lu family's territory.

This is why she has been enduring it all, hoping to leave after the college entrance examination.

Lu Ning felt very guilty for dragging Ji Chiqian into this mess.

The man couldn't help but pat her head: "Don't worry, they won't be able to find you. What you need to think about now is: where to stay?"

Lu Ning sighed: "Let's rent a place."

She had this idea for a long time, but never had the chance to put it into practice.

She was actually hoping that her second brother would kick her out of the house earlier, so she wouldn't have to worry about so much.

“I know a place to rent a house.”

Lu Ning didn't ask any more questions and followed him to that residential area.

The environment is very nice.

As she walked into the house, looking at the interior decoration, she couldn't help but say, "This house must be expensive, right? I'm pretty poor right now!"

“Money is not a problem. This is my friend’s house. He doesn’t live here anyway. You can help him look after the house. If you really want to calculate it, he should pay you back.”

Ji Chiqian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room, his figure slender and tall, looking quite nonchalant.

Lu Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Master, is this your house?"

"No, my house is next door."

Lu Ning was taken aback: "What a coincidence!"

He casually curled his thin lips: "Otherwise, I wouldn't feel at ease if you stayed somewhere else, after all, I'm the one who lured you out here."

Lu Ning's face felt slightly warm. What had she just revealed?

Who would have thought that someone who is usually so taciturn would make such a joke?

Ji Chiqian realized that his words were inappropriate and changed the subject: "You can stay here for now, don't worry about anything else."

Lu Ning nodded: "Okay, but you still have to pay the rent. I can sleep on the sofa, and I won't mess up your friend's room or touch anything in it."

Ji Chiqian frowned: "You don't need to sleep on the sofa. Anyway, he's never stayed here. He's rich and stupid, so don't worry about him."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Then you two must have a very good relationship."

Only close, albeit sometimes sarcastic, friends would say something like that.

Ji Chiqian glanced at the time: "Want to play some games now?"

"sure."

Lu Ning followed him to the house next door and found that the structure was exactly the same.

Ji Chiqian didn't seem to have much stuff; the place looked quite empty.

However, there are two computers in the study, and they both look to be quite powerful.

When Lu Ning opened the game, she saw the game live stream on the homepage, which was a screenshot of her performing a twelve-hit combo during her match.

The title also says that the apprentice of the legendary King has made a comeback.

She felt inexplicably guilty.

After all, in her previous life, she didn't know how to do a twelve-hit combo in the revival round.

And she had never met the legendary King.

Ji Chiqian glanced at her: "You managed a twelve-hit combo in the game, when did you learn that?"

Lu Ning was a little flustered.

How was she going to explain it?

Should I tell him that I learned it in my past life?

After all, King's twelve-hit combo is very difficult to learn. Many people have practiced repeatedly by watching videos for a long time, but still haven't mastered this move.

Lu Ning licked her lips: "Actually, I'm a fan of the legendary King. I've liked him since I was little, and I secretly practiced his signature move. I'd never actually succeeded before. But during this competition, I don't know why, I managed to pull it off."

Ji Chiqian's gaze was somewhat complicated: "You've liked him since you were little?"

"Yes, yes. I've always liked him, which is why I'm familiar with these things."

Lu Ning was a little unsure, but this was the only explanation she could get for now.

She actually admired King quite a bit, and she wasn't lying.

She glanced furtively at the man beside her. Ji Chiqian looked somewhat awkward and replied stiffly, "Don't just like anyone."

Lu Ning was somewhat surprised: "This...this is different, isn't it?"

That's the legendary King!

Anyone who plays this game admires him!

Ji Chiqian's gaze softened considerably as he watched the girl in the video unleash a twelve-hit combo.

Over the years, she is the only one who has accomplished this.

The two entered the game and teamed up seamlessly to clear dungeons.

Ji Chiqian stopped and asked, "Have you ever played the warrior class?"

"No, I play the gunner the most."

"You could try changing your class and see if the Warrior is a better fit for you."

Lu Ning's pupils contracted upon hearing this.

In my past life, that person said the same thing, telling me to play as a warrior.

At that time, she only wanted to play the gunner, since Sixth Brother's team needed a gunner.

Lu Ning was suddenly very excited. Could Ji Chiqian be the person she met in her past life?

It was her regret that she couldn't meet him in person in her past life and say thank you.

Ji Chiqian: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing. Master, do you have someone you like?"

"No, why do you ask that? Do you have someone you like?"

Ji Chiqian narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing he had to prevent her from falling in love too early.

Lu Ning looked at the computer screen and said, "I guess so."

Her online boyfriend from her past life, whose relationship ended without a clear reason.

I hope we can meet in this lifetime.

She remembers the time and place she met that person in her past life; perhaps she will only meet him again at that time.

Ji Chiqian's voice was somewhat muffled: "Kid, the most important thing for you right now is to study, not to date."

"I know, but let's talk about it after the college entrance exam."

She met that person in her past life after the college entrance examination.

Ji Chiqian was a little annoyed; early romance among girls was the most troublesome thing.

He shut down the computer immediately: "After you finish eating, you need to review your lessons and reduce your time playing games."

If you assign more homework, they probably won't have time to think about other things.

After doing two sets of past college entrance exam questions that night, Lu Ning was so tired that her brain couldn't function properly.

When she was getting ready to wash up and go to bed, she suddenly realized that she hadn't brought any change of clothes, including toiletries.

Lu Ning hesitated for a moment, then decided to go out and buy some daily necessities.

As soon as she stepped out, Ji Chiqian pushed open the door and looked down at her: "It's so late, where do you want to go?"

Lu Ning felt like she'd been caught red-handed by her parents.

She quickly replied, "I'll buy some toiletries and pajamas."

Ji Chiqian's expression froze for a moment, then he turned and closed the door: "Let's go."

He had no experience taking care of children and hadn't considered this aspect.

It's getting late, and most of the shops are closed.

In the end, Lu Ning only bought toiletries; she didn't manage to buy pajamas or slippers.

Ji Chiqian remained expressionless, though his mood was not very pleasant.

After returning to his apartment, he immediately called Gu Zifeng: "What's going on with the apartment you arranged? Why is there no personal belongings at all?"

“Brother, you called me and expect me to settle the house within half an hour. How am I supposed to have time to arrange household items? Besides, you should just go with her to buy household items; that would be a good opportunity to get closer to her.”

Ji Chiqian was used to being waited on.

When did he ever think about these details?

Gu Zifeng asked suspiciously, "You didn't forget, and then went out to buy it in the middle of the night, did you?"

Ji Chiqian gritted his teeth: "You can shut up now."

He hung up the phone immediately and looked at the wardrobe with a bit of embarrassment.

Ji Chiqian went to get a pair of his own slippers and a clean men's shirt.

He went next door and knocked on the door.

After a while, a soft girl's voice came from inside: "Coming."

Lu Ning opened the door, her hair still wet, dripping water down her clothes.

Ji Chiqian's gaze couldn't help but wander for a moment before he walked straight inside.

Lu Ning instinctively stepped back, but ended up stepping on her own foot with her left, causing her to fall headfirst to the ground.

Oh no, this is so embarrassing!

That was the only thought in her mind.

But she fell into a warm chest and heard his heartbeat in her ear.
