A virtual princess? She's a real princess!

"So, Xiaoxiao, what do you really think?" Lin Zhiqing asked, leaning close to her ear.

The girl sipped her milk tea, puffed out her cheeks, and chewed on taro balls, her round, green eyes staring blankly at the delicate pastries on the table in front of her.

I don't know.

"What does he mean?"

“I don’t know either.”

"It's okay, your sister Qing is free today, she'll give you a detailed analysis." She was eager to help her best friend win over that kid Xiao Shuyan.

"What's there to analyze about him?" she said, but still told her best friend some small things.

Then he looked at Lin Zhiqing with wide, expectant eyes.

Lin Zhiqing, true to her best friend's word, patted her chest and assured Bian Xiao, "He definitely likes you!"

A sweet feeling suddenly welled up inside her, but she pretended not to care and said, "Really?"

Could Lin Zhiqing not see through Bian Xiao?

She presented five, six, seven, or eight pieces of evidence that Xiao Shuyan liked Bian Xiao, making Bian Xiao unable to suppress the smile on his face.

Finally, I snapped a few photos with Lin Zhiqing of the girls going out for afternoon tea, did some simple editing, and posted them on my KK Space.

This is a Suzhou-style tea and snack shop in Suzhou. It has a simple and rustic decor and also offers dance performances and storytelling.

In a rare moment of joy, Lin Zhiqin and Bian Xiao ordered some rice wine. The sweet wine went down their throats smoothly, and its low alcohol content made it feel like a beverage. They drank one cup after another, and before they knew it, their cheeks were flushed and their eyes were stinging.

"Let me tell you, Xiaoxiao, just charge in, that's all!" Lin Zhiqing murmured as she lay back on the soft cushions.

"How do I get up?" Bian Xiao lay in Lin Zhiqin's arms, looking up at her from below. His green eyes were hazy, and his hair was scattered all over his back.

"Just strip him naked and go for it!" Lin Zhiqin said, and Bian Xiao sobered up halfway. "Huh?!"

Lin Zhiqing realized she might have been too blunt, so she rubbed her face. "Ugh, my bad, you're too young. I'm warning you, Bian Xiao, if I find out you're underage, I'll tear Xiao Shuyan apart."

"What are you saying! I never said I wanted to be with Xiao Shuyan, nor did I say I wanted to do *that*!" Bian Xiao was about to jump up and down.

Lin Zhiqing was dissatisfied again, "Kid, you can't do it when you're a minor. Now that you're an adult, you definitely want to experience some fun. What's wrong with that?"

Remembering that Lin Zhiqing was already an adult, Bian Xiao leaned closer to her and whispered, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Lin Zhiqing chuckled.

"No way! You kept this from me?!" Bian Xiao was furious. "Are we even best friends anymore? You didn't even tell me you were dating?!"

"Hey, hey, it was yesterday afternoon!" Lin Zhiqing pleaded.

"Who is it!" Bian Xiao's eyebrows shot up.

It was rare for Lin Zhiqing, who played "Qiao Yanzhou," to lower her head and act timidly in front of Bian Xiao.

"No, huh? You two?!" Bian Xiao was already questioning his existence.

Are your best friend and best buddy dating?

"Confess the truth quickly!"

"Actually, it was the night before last. Our class monitor confessed to me on his birthday, and Zhouzhou happened to have a few drinks, so he confessed to me too. And then," Lin Zhiqing observed Bian Xiao's expression, "he went to my house, and well, you know what I mean."

With his mind completely blank, Bian Xiao tried to restart the system.

"You did it?"

Lin Zhiqing nodded innocently.

"No, let me catch my breath." Slumped on the sofa, Bian Xiao clutched his head.

"Just between you and me, it's a little painful at first, but it's actually quite nice afterwards."

Lin Zhiqing's single sentence was enough to pique Bian Xiao's interest, and he stared at her with wide, round eyes.

In both his past and present lives, Bian Xiao has never even touched a man's hand, let alone had sex.

When it comes to this kind of thing, I'm both clueless and curious. My best friends, who have experience with this, have to ask me about the details carefully.

As for the exquisite desserts, they could no longer attract Bian Xiao and Lin Zhiqing; the best friends were chatting enthusiastically about their private little topics.

Although Lin Zhiqing is an adult and has a lot of cars in her garage, she still has to take a car back to Shanghai without a driver's license.

The tutors arranged by Lu Yihe arrived the next day. Two tutors were found, one male and one female, both around 30 years old.

They are all very experienced and capable teachers, but compared to some preachy male teachers who start by introducing themselves on how amazing and experienced they are, Bian Xiao still prefers gentle yet lively female teachers.

Xiao Shuyan is a top student, but unfortunately, she's not a teacher, and she can't resist Bian Xiao's coaxing every day, so she just gives him the answers.

After getting tutoring from a qualified teacher, Bian Xiao suddenly regained confidence in his math skills.

Open Fetion, hmm?

Upon closer inspection, it really is!

Bian Xiao: "You two..."

Good grief, they've even changed their profile pictures to match, huh? You awful couple.

Xiao Shuyan looked at Qiao Yanzhou and Lin Zhiqing's matching profile pictures and felt a little envious.

Qiao Yanzhou: "Hehe (silly laughing emoji)"

Qiao Yanzhou: "Qingqing only agreed to it today."

Bian Xiao: "Congratulations! When are you going to treat me to a meal? Hmph, I'm Qingqing's best friend!"

Even if Bian Xiao hadn't brought it up, Qiao Yanzhou and Lin Zhiqing would definitely have formally invited someone to dinner and then announced it. After all, this kind of relationship is different from casual flings; they're serious about it, and they haven't even kept it a secret from their parents.

Childhood sweethearts, from similar family backgrounds, and of noble character—it couldn't be better.

Lin Zhiqing and Qiao Yanzhou changed their Fetion profile pictures to match, but KK didn't, otherwise it would have been too obvious and would have caused a sensation at school.

But a couple deeply in love can't hide their feelings forever. Early in the morning, Chen Xing leaned on Bian Xiao's desk and turned to ask, "Xiao Xiao! Are Senior Lin and Senior Qiao Yanzhou really together?"

"Why do you ask that?" Bian Xiao asked, putting down his backpack.

"Someone photographed them kissing at the BaWang Milk Tea shop last night!" Chen Xing's eyes lit up when he talked about the kiss, sparkling with longing for gossip.

"Yes, but don't tell anyone." Although everyone probably already silently agreed on the two of them.

Chen Xing covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly, then her eyes darted around, "And you? How are things with Brother Yan?"

"There's nothing between us." Anyway, as Lin Zhiqing said, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either.

Moreover, she's not particularly good at understanding her own heart these days.

As classmates arrived, the conversation gradually came to an end.

"Homework's in!" Xu Ying slammed a stack of homework books on Bian Xiao's desk, startling her.

He frowned slightly, but still took out the homework book from his bag and handed it to Xu Ying.

Xu Ying snatched the notebook, tearing the thin cover crooked.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Ying's feelings towards her didn't develop overnight, but they were particularly noticeable today.

Bian Xiao may have been a spoiled brat in his past life, but in this life he is pampered by his family and has quite a temper.

Xu Ying's attitude made her turn hostile immediately.

"What's wrong with me?" Xu Ying wouldn't be Xu Ying if she didn't retort, clutching her homework and replying defiantly.

"What do you think? Just hand in your homework, why are you banging on the table and pulling at your notebook?"
