After saying goodbye to Ma Yuliang, Yi Yi hurriedly returned to her room and called Xiao Nao to check on Zhu Qianxiao's condition.

What came into view was Liang Churen's handsome face.

Now that she didn't need to switch to a God's-eye view to see what was happening around her, Yi Yi felt much more at ease.

Because Zhu Qianxiao, as the female protagonist, is indeed very progressive and brave, after several years of getting along, Yi Yi realized that she is still a pampered young lady who has been spoiled since childhood, and she is not as comprehensive in handling some matters as the player when she possesses a body.

Therefore, I couldn't help but worry when I heard the news that she had run away from home.

But now that we've made contact with the male lead, there's no need to worry. Everything should be under the control of the plot from now on.

Knowing that a crucial plot development was about to unfold, Yi Yi frowned and said to Xiao Nao, "Put aside what you're doing now and make time to catch up on the plot."

The cerebellum naturally and unconditionally supports Yi Yi's decision.

Yi Yi looked up at the sky gradually darkening in the west and let out a long breath: "It won't be long before Ma Yuliang finds out that Zhu Qianxiao is studying at Qingshan Academy, and then he'll follow the clues to find out about Liang Churen."

"Little Yiyi..."

"What happened next was a bolt from the blue for everyone... In such times, what harmony and stability can there be?" Yi Yi was sighing when she saw Hong Que come in and ask her when she was going to have dinner. Yi Yi's melancholy vanished, and she happily said that she still had to eat first.

The speed at which the face changes is so fast that it leaves the cerebellum speechless.

After dinner, Yi Yi watched as wave after wave of servants came to report that they had not found the young lady. She waved her hand dismissively, telling them to leave some people to keep an eye on the city and not to make a big fuss.

After everyone finished reporting, Yi Yi looked at Zhu Qianxiao, who had been secretly taken to the dormitory area of ​​Qingshan Academy by Liang Churen, and felt that the power of the plot was still amazing.

It just so happened that the Zhu family didn't want to make a big fuss about Zhu Qianxiao's running away from home, especially not to let the people of the Marshal's Mansion know; it also just so happened that Qingshan Academy had now been sealed off by Marshal Ma's men, and there was almost no one left in the school, except for a secret passage for the original staff to enter and exit; and it just so happened that as soon as Zhu Qianxiao stepped out, she ran into Liang Churen, feeling helpless.

Liang Churen is completely bewildered.

Although I could vaguely sense that Zhu was different from everyone else, I was still overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information when I suddenly learned that she was actually the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, "Zhu Qianxiao," and that she was running away from home to escape an arranged marriage.

When he saw a girl acting suspiciously on the street who looked a lot like Zhu, he thought he was seeing things and was wondering if his feelings had reached the point of hallucination. Unexpectedly, the girl actually started talking to him.

What was even more unexpected was that she really was Zhu Tongxue.

At the time, Ms. Zhu... no, Ms. Zhu said the situation was urgent, so she took the person back to the dormitory first. Now that things have calmed down, she thinks back on it...

So my feelings for Miss Zhu... are truly...

like?

A blush suddenly crept up Liang Churen's bronze face.

Zhu Qianxiao sat on the large communal bed in the dormitory and breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Liang Churen, about to say thank you, when she saw his flushed face and belatedly realized that she had made a rash decision in her desperation and had completely exposed her identity.

She frowned, then thought: But... if it's Liang... it doesn't seem like it's impossible.

Thinking of this, her face turned red for some reason.

"Zhu... Zhu, you should rest first. I'll go get you something to eat." Liang Churen stammered as he left.

Zhu Qianxiao, who had just nodded slightly, was left alone to process the feelings that had finally been revealed.

-

Yi Yi smacked her lips and pointed at the big screen, exclaiming, "Look at this ambiguous atmosphere, look at these knowing glances, look at this rapid progress!"

"Look at that pig that's rooting up your cabbages!" Cerebellum chimed in.

"So what? So what? They're a perfect match, I agree to this marriage!" Yi Yi blurted out cleverly, then suddenly realized, "Oh no, I can't agree to this marriage!"

"Alright, that's enough, just watch!"

After Xiaonao finished speaking, Yiyi didn't reply and focused on watching the plot.

-

While they were talking, Liang Churen had already brought their dinner to the dormitory.

He said to Zhu Qianxiao, who was sitting somewhat awkwardly on the communal bed, "The food will probably be a bit simple. Just make do with what you have for today. Tell me what you want to eat tomorrow, and I'll go buy it."

Hearing this, Zhu Qianxiao found it somewhat amusing. She picked up a steamed bun and put it in her mouth, saying as she ate, "Seriously, it's not like we haven't done things like squatting together at the school gate eating sweet potatoes before. I am who I am. Do you think I'm some kind of precious person just because you know my true identity?"

Liang Churen scratched his head and chuckled, saying, "I was being narrow-minded. I just haven't quite recovered yet!"

The two smiled at each other and then focused on eating without saying a word.

The winter moonlight is a pale white, illuminating the pure white world with a cold, piercing light.

After finishing her meal and tidying up briefly, Zhu Qianxiao sat blankly on the large communal bed near the window, gazing at the snow-covered scenery outside, lost in thought.

Liang Churen rubbed his icy hands as he returned to his room, only to find this scene before him.

"Missing home?" he asked.

Zhu Qianxiao suddenly came to her senses and found that her eyes were a little dry. She blinked and two tears inadvertently fell out.

She roughly wiped away the tears on her face, sniffed, and said in a muffled voice, "No, I'm just a little confused."

“It’s natural to miss home when you’re away for the first time, you don’t need to deny it.” Liang Churen moved a stool and sat by the window, keeping Zhu Qianxiao company as they watched the snow.

Zhu Qianxiao opened her mouth, but didn't say anything in rebuttal. She turned her head and quietly watched the snow falling outside.

After a moment, she suddenly spoke up: "This year's snow is falling exceptionally heavily."

“Yes, next year will be a bumper year,” Liang Churen replied.

Zhu Qianxiao shook her head, lowered her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Judging from the current situation, it's probably not going to happen."

“That’s true…” Liang Churen sighed, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky and sighed again, “If only farmers could farm in peace and students could study in peace.”

"Yeah... If the world were at peace, everyone could do what they want." Zhu Qianxiao stretched and then slumped onto the communal bed.

But the large communal bed made of wooden planks wasn't as soft as her bed with several layers of quilts. When she slammed it down, it made a loud "bang," causing Zhu Qianxiao to instinctively cry out in pain.

"Are you alright? Why did you fall straight onto the bed?!" This action startled Liang Churen, who quickly ran from the stool to Zhu Qianxiao's side to check on her.

His hurried movements knocked over the chair and the chair, making a loud thud as they hit the ground.

Zhu Qianxiao rubbed her head and sat up from the communal bed with Liang Churen's help, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just suddenly startled. I didn't bump my head or swell up or bleed."

"Okay, okay, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Liang Churen pulled his head back from looking at her head and exchanged glances with Zhu Qianxiao.

The two suddenly realized that the distance between them had been shortened to such a close in an instant.
