I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

"It seems you're telling the truth."

Cai Yi slowly sat down in the chair, her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly, her eyes revealing a hint of doubt and confusion. She then asked, "But this shouldn't be happening, right? How could this be?"

She thought to herself, "I've made it obvious enough!"

After all, she had special feelings for Xu Qingming. Every time they were together, didn't they look like a couple deeply in love?

Moreover, apart from her close friends Jiang Li and Xiao Baihua, there were basically no other men frequently appearing around her in her social circle.

Every day after school, she and Xu Qingming were inseparable, always together. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?

However, Xu Qingming seemed to see through her thoughts, glanced at her leisurely, and said calmly, "If I remember correctly, every time I pick you up after class, you always leave halfway because of Xiao Baihua and Jiang Li."

Upon hearing this, Caiyi replied without hesitation, "That's right, it's because I have to advance their storyline, so of course I can't stay with you all the time."

Xu Qingming was taken aback at first, then smiled helplessly and patiently explained, "That's exactly the problem. You've handled this matter too formally, as if it were just a task."

"However, love is not that simple, and a simple outing cannot make students feel the connection between us."

Caiyi pursed her lips and remained silent, but she knew in her heart that her attitude towards this relationship was not just that of a work task. In fact, she had some feelings for Xu Qingming deep down.

At this moment, Xu Qingming slowly spoke and continued, "Couples who are deeply in love are often inseparable and inseparable."

"But this doesn't refer to simple pick-up and drop-off after school, but rather to basic occasions such as dinner parties or dates."

He paused, then continued, "But what about us? Apart from seeing each other after class every day, we almost never appear together on any other occasions."

Upon hearing this, Caiyi blinked her bright eyes, feeling somewhat hesitant.

She asked softly, "Then... what should we do?"

A faint smile gradually appeared in Xu Qingming's originally dark and deep eyes, and then he said unhurriedly, "In a while, the school will hold a grand sports meet."

He paused briefly, then looked at Caiyi with expectant eyes and said slowly, "Would you be willing to come on stage with me as a broadcaster?"

Cai Yi paused slightly after hearing this, then blinked a few times quickly.

To be honest, she was quite hesitant about the suggestion.

If she really agreed to Xu Qingming's request and broadcast the message in front of so many teachers and students, wouldn't that have a negative impact on her other storyline that was developing?

After all, at this moment, she is not only involved with Xu Qingming, but also caught up in the complicated story between Jiang Li and Xiao Baihua.

If she really did broadcast on the same stage as Xu Qingming at the school sports meet, then perhaps others would no longer believe that she, Jiang Li, and Xiao Baihua had a so-called romantic relationship?

Thinking about these things, Caiyi unconsciously frowned slightly, falling into deep thought.

Even though he's cut his hair short, he's still not a real boy!

In such a public and highly anticipated setting, it would be harder than climbing to heaven to avoid revealing any flaws.

Xu Qingming, on the other hand, appeared remarkably calm, saying casually, "You'll just need to wear a wig to deceive everyone."

Upon hearing this, Caiyi couldn't help but raise his head, staring at the man in front of him with a slightly helpless smile on his face. At the same time, he bluntly complained, "Oh dear, sometimes the things you say can really scare people half to death!"

Just like at this moment, she felt as if she were completely exposed to the scorching sun, with absolutely no privacy whatsoever.

Xu Qingming, however, did not take it to heart and calmly replied, "You told me the whole plot before, and after some thought, I can naturally understand why you are so hesitant."

After a brief pause, Caiyi took a deep breath, as if he had finally made up his mind, and nodded firmly, saying, "Okay, then I will definitely attend on time that day."

Xu Qingming nodded slightly with a faint smile on his lips, indicating his agreement.

However, just as he was about to speak, he was suddenly interrupted by Caiyi's words.

Caiyi said with a big smile, "Oh dear, I've been here with you for so long, my stomach is starting to rumble. I'd better hurry up and have some lunch!"

Time flies so fast; before we knew it, it was almost noon, just in time for lunch.

At this moment, Caiyi's hunger was gradually increasing, making her truly feel the call of her appetite.

Upon hearing that Cai Yi was going to lunch, Xu Qingming couldn't help but chuckle and quickly said, "In that case, why don't I go to lunch with you? Maybe that will further enhance our relationship!"

Actually, Xu Qingming was just about to invite Cai Yi to have lunch together.

Upon hearing this, Cai Yi was slightly taken aback at first, then raised his hand and gently patted his head, nodding as if suddenly realizing something, and replied, "Oh right, oh right, how come I didn't think of that before! Haha!"

Without hesitation, Caiyi reached out and grabbed Xu Qingming's wrist tightly, saying cheerfully, "Then let's hurry up and go!"

He pulled Xu Qingming along and walked quickly toward the cafeteria.

Xu Qingming looked down at her palm and a smile unconsciously crept onto his face.

Along the way, Caiyi chattered on about the cafeteria's food for the day, and soon they arrived at the cafeteria entrance.

There weren't many students in the cafeteria at that time, since it was still a while before the normal end of get out of class.

As soon as they entered the cafeteria, Cai Yi released his grip on Xu Qingming's hand, then quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket, his fingers flying across the screen as he typed a message.

It turned out that she was sending messages to Jiang Li, Xiao Baihua, Wei Ke, and Li Xue, asking them what they wanted to eat.
