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

She also helped everyone get their food so they could eat right away when they arrived.

Xu Qingming stared blankly at his empty wrist, a sense of indescribable loss welling up inside him. It was as if an invisible hand was gently gripping his heart, making him involuntarily begin to rub his fingertips together.

Just then, Caiyi noticed his unusual behavior, raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, asking with concern, "What are you daydreaming about? Is something on your mind?"

Upon hearing Cai Yi's question, Xu Qingming instantly snapped out of his daze, quickly composed himself, and gave a gentle and friendly smile, saying softly, "It's alright, let's hurry up and get our food."

After saying that, he followed Cai Yi toward the cafeteria.

Before long, the two of them came out carrying full plates, piled high with all sorts of delicious food.

These foods exude an enticing aroma, making people salivate.

They carefully placed the plates on the table and then sat quietly waiting for the others to arrive.

When everyone arrived, Caiyi suddenly smiled mischievously and teased Xu Qingming, "Xu Qingming, look at this scene now, don't you feel like a lamb surrounded by a pack of wolves?"

After all, everyone else present was a girl, and there were five of them in total!

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingming was slightly taken aback at first, then a faint smile appeared on his lips as he nodded in agreement, "It does look quite similar."

In fact, he was used to this kind of situation. He had experienced similar scenes many times in his daily life, so he did not feel too uncomfortable or awkward at this moment.

After everyone finished enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Cai Yi and Xu Qingming strolled side by side along the tranquil and beautiful lakeside on campus.

With its picturesque scenery, lush greenery, and crystal-clear lake that ripples in the breeze, this place is truly a romantic spot for couples to deepen their bond.

Along the way, many other couples couldn't help but cast curious or envious glances at them, seeing how intimate they were, and people would whisper and murmur among themselves from time to time.

After all, there are very few students who don't know Xu Qingming.

However, Cai Yi and Xu Qingming, immersed in their own world, were completely unaware of this and continued to leisurely enjoy this rare and warm time.

After all, neither of them had ever appeared on this land before.

Speaking of the lake at the University of Leah, it has a rather romantic nickname – Lover's Lake.

There has long been a legend that says any couple who can walk hand in hand and rely on each other to complete the entire Lover's Lake journey will stay together for life and grow old together.

Cai Yi had naturally heard of this legend.

At this moment, she curled her lip at Xu Qingming beside her and said, "Hmph! This is pure fraud. Look at all the couples who have come here. Eight or nine out of ten end up breaking up."

Xu Qingming remained silent. In fact, he had not come here because of the legend, but simply because he wanted to stroll around with her.

Seeing that Xu Qingming remained silent, Cai Yi continued, "Even if this legend is true, most people simply cannot accomplish it."

At this point, she deliberately paused, keeping everyone in suspense.

Upon seeing this, Xu Qingming replied without hesitation, "The reason is simply that the edge of Lover's Lake is too vast. It would take a full eleven hours to walk from one end to the other."

Indeed, few couples in this area have the patience to persevere through this long journey, which is why the beautiful legend seems so hard to come true.

Hearing Xu Qingming give such a quick and accurate answer, Cai Yi couldn't help but frown and complain, "Hey, couldn't you just pretend you didn't know? This way I don't feel any sense of accomplishment at all!"

Xu Qingming suddenly stopped, turned around to face Cai Yi, and said with a firm gaze, "Do you want to walk with me to the end of Lover's Lake?"

Upon hearing this, Caiyi was momentarily stunned. She looked at Xu Qingming with some surprise, then her gaze began to drift away unconsciously, as if trying to avoid his intense gaze. She replied softly, "You are the president of the student council, do you really have so much free time to accompany me?"

Xu Qingming nodded without hesitation and answered with certainty, "Yes."

Caiyi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond to the answer, and could only remain silent.

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying fallen leaves from the green trees along the lake, fluttering down like dancing butterflies, gently landing on the ground, and softly settling on their shoulders and hair.

At this moment, a hint of expectation, which she herself did not notice, flashed in Caiyi's eyes. She muttered softly, "Then you absolutely cannot leave me behind halfway through."

Xu Qingming smiled slightly and replied gently, "Don't worry, it won't happen."

At this moment, his phone lay quietly in his pocket, as if it knew its owner's wishes and would not ring to disturb this peaceful and beautiful time.

Cai Yi and Xu Qingming walked side by side along the lake.

Before we knew it, night had fallen, and the sky was dotted with countless stars, like sparkling gems.

They continued walking slowly, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.

"Gulu~"

A sound broke the silence.

Xu Qingming turned to look at Cai Yi beside him and asked with concern, "Are you hungry?"

After all, she hadn't eaten dinner tonight.

Caiyi subconsciously touched her stomach and realized that she was indeed feeling hungry; the sound she had just heard was coming from her stomach.

But looking around, they found there was no food to eat.

Just then, as if by magic, Xu Qingming pulled a beautifully packaged chocolate from his pocket and handed it to Cai Yi.

Bathed in the bright moonlight, his refined and handsome face appeared even more captivating, as if he were a god who had stepped out of a fairyland, breathtakingly beautiful.

Cai Yi stared blankly at Xu Qingming in front of him, and for a moment forgot to reach out and take the chocolate.

Xu Qingming's face was beaming with a warm, spring-like smile. He gently tore open the beautiful wrapper of the chocolate and then handed the enticingly fragrant chocolate to her.

"Eat."
