Song Jianmei had been waiting all night for this arrangement.

Pity the parents of the world.

No one could understand her good intentions.

"Let me take you there; the road to the teachers' apartments is quite secluded." Jing Chu was clearly unwilling.

“That’s why I asked Ah Feng to drive us. He’s been trained in the army,” Song Jianmei argued.

Seeing the imminent fire, Song Lingge made the final decision: "Jingchu, you should take Shaofen and Xiuxiu home. That way it's closer to the boys' dormitory. If your cousin takes us home, he can talk to your aunt."

In the end, Jing Chu left with Yu Shaofen and Zhang Xiuxiu, his brows furrowed.

“Cousin, Jing Chu is right, this road is quite secluded. You’ll be coming back later, so remember the way,” Song Lingge said with a smile.

She and Chen Bingfeng didn't have much interaction in their previous lives; she mostly heard about them from others.

However, because of the bad rumors from her past life, Song Lingge tried her best to be polite and distant in front of Chen Bingfeng, but she couldn't be too deliberate.

I remember Zhao Jueyu saying in my previous life that Song Jianmei had always wanted to arrange a marriage between them.

Pedantic and ignorant.

In this life, she and Song Jianmei are much closer, which may have made her have those kinds of thoughts.

"Don't worry, Lingge, I remember everything! In the army, we often have to go to very far and unfamiliar places for field operations, so remembering the way is the most basic thing." Chen Bingfeng glanced at Song Lingge and replied with a smile.

The moon is beautiful tonight, big and round, casting a soft glow on everyone walking in the night.

Song Lingge has fair skin, which appears even more hazy under the moonlight, giving her a dreamlike and unreal beauty.

Chen Bingfeng's heart skipped a beat.

"It's all thanks to Lingge's advice. If you hadn't listened to her and joined the army, I don't know where you'd be now. With Lingge looking after you, I feel at ease," Song Jianmei said with a laugh.

Even a fool could understand what she meant; it seemed she genuinely wanted to be Song Lingge's daughter-in-law.

"Aunt, please don't say that. My cousin is very smart. Even if he doesn't join the army, he will definitely be successful. Xiuxiu has been tutoring him lately, and she often tells me that he learns very quickly."

"I'm so sorry, Xiuxiu, I had no choice but to bring you up." Song Lingge silently apologized in her heart.

"It's all thanks to Xiuxiu's excellent teaching!" Chen Bingfeng said.

"Of course, when my aunt asked me to teach you, I knew very well what I was capable of. I was impatient and had a short temper. Xiuxiu is different; she's good at her studies and meticulous, so she's the perfect teacher for you."

Chen Bingfeng nodded in agreement: "I've been in contact with her by phone, and I thought she was gentle and considerate. But seeing her arguing with that scoundrel today, she's quite bold."

"Xiuxiu has a very chivalrous heart, just like her cousin."

"Yeah, she was really brave today. Xiao Jiang was with her, and he seemed to be a few years older than her, but he didn't seem like her at all."

In the afternoon, Zhang Xiuxiu's gaze towards Chen Bingfeng and her speaking up for him revealed that Song Lingge didn't understand men's thoughts, but she was very clear about women's thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiuxiu had secretly developed feelings for Chen Bingfeng.

This is a good opportunity to get to know Chen Bingfeng better. If Chen Bingfeng has changed, then Zhang Xiuxiu and he might be a good match.

However... Song Lingge will help Zhang Xiuxiu keep a close eye on this.

For the rest of the journey, the two of them talked about Zhang Xiuxiu.

Poor Song Jianmei followed behind them, unable to get a word in edgewise.

This rascal hasn't improved at all. How can he keep talking about another girl while he's with another girl?

Over at the girls' dormitory, Jing Chu always had a gloomy face.

Yu Shaofen sensed something was wrong, but she didn't want to pay him any more attention; she had her own pride.

However, Zhang Xiuxiu was not like that. She looked at Jing Chu with great displeasure: "Jing Chu, you are being too unfriendly to Chen Bingfeng. He is Ling Ge's cousin and your boss's son."

"So what?" Jing Chu got angry when he heard Chen Bingfeng's name.

Zhang Xiuxiu's temper flared up immediately: "So what? You're so hostile on your very first meeting. Anyone who didn't know better would think you have feelings for Lingge."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shaofen and Jing Chu's expressions immediately changed.

Jing Chu finally noticed Yu Shaofen. Thinking of the previous misunderstanding, he immediately explained, "What nonsense are you all thinking? How could I possibly have anything to do with Song Lingge? She's Nansheng's girlfriend."

Everyone knows the relationship between Jing Chu and Qiao Nansheng; they were even rumored to be homosexual a long time ago.

Even now, there are still many gossip and rumors.

However, Yu Shaofen and Zhang Xiuxiu were insiders who had witnessed Song Lingge and Qiao Nansheng gradually getting together, so all of that was just nonsense.

"Then why are you so hostile towards Chen Bingfeng?" Zhang Xiuxiu asked.

Jing Chu rolled her eyes at her: "Don't you guys think Chen Bingfeng's feelings for Ling Ge... I can't quite put my finger on it, but I always feel like the way he looks at Ling Ge..."

In fact, the reason why Jingchu paid special attention to Chen Bingfeng was because of Qiao Nansheng's reminder.

Previously, Song Lingge had inadvertently revealed to Qiao Nansheng that Song Jianmei intended to match her with Chen Bingfeng. It was just a casual remark, but Qiao Nansheng took it to heart.

When news spread that Chen Bingfeng was coming back to visit his family, Qiao Nansheng immediately told Jingchu to keep a close eye on him.

I never expected that Jing Chu, this straight-laced guy, would take it so seriously.

If Qiao Nansheng found out, he'd be furious even in the UK.

Chen Bingfeng and Song Lingge are cousins, and to outsiders, their actions were perfectly normal.

Jingchu really went a bit too far, but what can you do when he's so honest!

"Jingchu, you really are... They are cousins, how can you say such nonsense? We didn't see it at all, but you did?" Zhang Xiuxiu was speechless.

When Jing Chu was speaking just now, he actually felt like he was overthinking things.

He thought about it carefully, but when asked if there was anything wrong with Chen Bingfeng, he couldn't say a word.

Not to mention Song Lingge, who was polite and well-mannered.

Thinking about all this, Jing Chu scratched the back of his head and realized that he had been too impulsive.

Although Yu Shaofen remained silent, she kept a close eye on Jing Chu's actions.

Seeing his helpless expression, she finally spoke up: "Don't be so impulsive in the future, and you don't need to apologize, but don't do this again when you see them tomorrow."

Jing Chu nodded.

Yu Shaofen didn't say anything more, not even glancing at him, and pulled Zhang Xiuxiu back to the dormitory.

Watching their retreating figures, Jing Chu felt a mix of emotions.
