As usual, Yan Su took her out for a meal before sending her home.

Liang Qing closed the door, leaned against it, and slowly slid down to sit on the floor.

"I'm so tired," she said, covering her face. "I never knew I could be this tired."

The system reappeared after a long absence. [Host, are you alright?]

Since Liang Qing responded with silence to her repeated suggestions, Xiao Qi has become increasingly quiet, and aside from showing the changes in favorability, she basically doesn't say anything more.

Seeing Liang Qing so dejected, it couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

Liang was also taken aback when she heard its voice; she hadn't thought of it for a long time.

Liang Qing removed her hand from her face. "I'm fine. I'll be fine after a night's rest."

……

In a corner of the coffee shop.

"You mean, they really are a couple?"

"Yes." The detective adjusted his glasses and patiently answered the question for the third time.

To increase the credibility of his words, he carefully arranged the pile of photos one by one again.

"The photos are all taken authentically, with no signs of Photoshop editing."

Su Heng frowned, and asked for the fourth time, unwilling to give up: "You mean, they really are a couple?"

The detective took a deep breath, his signature smile cracking slightly, and nodded again, "Yes."

"You mean..."

When Su Heng was about to ask the same question for the fifth time, Chen Cuo, who could hear the detective's increasingly rapid breathing, finally couldn't help but interrupt, "That's enough, Ah Heng."

If he kept asking, the detective was about to collapse.

He was about to faint.

Su Heng examined the photo again, while Chen Cuo said to the detective, "Thank you for your help. You can go home now."

The detective breathed a sigh of relief, and this time his signature smile was much more sincere. He stood up and shook hands with Chen Cuo, "Okay, thank you both. You can contact me again if you need anything in the future."

"It's troublesome."

After watching the detective leave, Chen Cuo sat back down in his chair, looked at Su Heng beside him whose brows had never relaxed, and sighed, "Just accept reality."

Chen Cuo felt bad seeing Su Heng's dazed state.

If Senior Liang were still single, he would definitely help Su Heng unconditionally, but now, she already has a boyfriend.

He simply couldn't bring himself to help Su Heng interfere in someone else's relationship.

"I told you, they're real, but you wouldn't believe me and insisted on making me hire a detective."

"Now that the evidence is all here, you should accept reality."

Chen Cuo picked up a photo; it was a picture of Yan Su picking out clothes for Liang Qing in a shopping mall.

“Shopping, watching movies, eating, visiting tourist attractions…” Chen Cuonian said, “They’re just like any other couple outside of school.”

I don't know why Su Heng just wouldn't believe it, insisting that they were acting and that Liang Qing was coerced by Yan Su.

“Don’t you think this is too deliberate?” Su Heng said. “For a month, we’ve been glued to each other all the time, with no personal space at all.”

Chen Cuo didn't think so. He thought it was normal for couples to be like that. "So what? When you first start dating, you definitely want to see each other all the time."

Su Heng disagreed with him, "What about their actions and behavior? How can you act like you've been dating for over ten years when you've just started dating?"

Chen Cuo touched his nose. "There are a few exceptions, though. Not everyone is shy."

"Anyway, I don't believe it." Su Heng leaned back in his chair, his expression serious.

From the day they came to school hand in hand, when he saw the photos on the forum, his first reaction was that it was fake.

Yan Su's body was stiff, and there was not a trace of love in his eyes.

Liang Qing's smile was formulaic, without any variation.

They lacked the shyness of newly dating couples, and also the relaxed demeanor of couples who have been together for a long time.

It's more like they're deliberately imitating a couple.

Chen Cuo helplessly advised, "Please, accept reality."

Su Heng didn't know how to explain to him what he felt was wrong. After all, it was his own judgment, and the evidence was insufficient. Chen Cuo would only think that he refused to accept reality and was talking nonsense.

"Forget it, don't worry about it, I'll handle it myself." He stood up and started putting on his coat.

"Where are you going?" Chen Cuo looked up at him, a little nervous. "Don't do anything strange."

Su Heng unzipped her jacket, smiled at him, and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything you're worried about."

……

After watching the movie, Liang Qing and Yan Su were feeling a bit sleepy.

Looking at the energetic Yan Su beside her, she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you tired of doing this every day?"

"I'm alright," he replied calmly, then asked her, "Are you tired?"

Liang Qing said calmly, "It is quite tiring. I think even when acting, one should have some private space."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yan Su's face returned to that mocking smile, "It's only been a month, and you can't even keep going?"

Liang Qing rubbed her face. "I think you have the ability to turn your everyday leisure activities into work-related activities."

Yan Su smiled strangely upon hearing this, "Aren't we just working? You and I are both 'actors.'"

"It's just that the actor who performed a solo act has become the one who performs a duet."

He suddenly cupped her face in his hands and examined it closely for a while.

"What?" Liang Qing slapped his hand away unhappily.

He withdrew his hand, which was in pain. "It seems this charade has really worn you out."

Liang Qing scoffed, "Then could you be so merciful as to reduce my working hours?"

He quickly turned cold again, "You know it won't work, don't try to bargain with me."

They walked to the street and waited for the green light. Liang Qing suddenly said with some annoyance, "But what's the point? Nobody can see us doing these things off-campus."

"Are you really stupid or just pretending?" He suddenly hugged her, his delicate face appearing somewhat beautiful under the red light of the traffic light, yet after looking at it for a while, it also made people feel a little scared, as if he were a demon who had transformed into human form to tempt humans to fall.

Liang Qing gestured for him to continue with his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "Haven't you noticed that someone has been following us lately?"

Just as Liang Qing was about to look around, Yan Su quickly added, "Be careful, don't let anyone see you."

Liang Qing stopped moving. "Who's following us?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's a detective, maybe it's one of them. Who can say for sure?" Yan Su's casual tone carried a hint of smugness. "As long as you do as I say, no one will be able to spot the flaw."

Liang Qing felt both angry and amused that he would pester her every day for this reason, giving her no freedom at all.

"Sometimes I really admire your ability to go to this extent, for such a trivial thing."

Upon hearing this, his aura instantly plummeted, his face turning terrifyingly dark, and he could barely suppress his trembling voice, "Insignificant? Have you always considered the harm you cause to others as insignificant?"
