Qiao Qing answered, “Nothing.”
Qi Yuyang asked, “Qingqing, are you worried for me and your elder brother?”
Qi Yusen patted Qiao Qing’s head, “Qingqing, don’t worry about us. There’s not much you can do to help us. No matter what happens, I’ll be here. I just need you to be happy.”
Qiao Qing nodded when she heard that.
After breakfast, Qiao Qing went to school with Luo Chen.
Luo Chen scrolled on his phone and said, “Qingqing, did you know we are getting an exchange student? It’s the descendant of an ancient martial art family, Lou Yufei. She’s my second-ranked goddess!”
Qiao Qing said, “I don’t know her.”
“Hehe, don’t be jealous. I told you she’s second-ranked, you’re my first ranked goddess!”
Qiao Qing, “…”
Luo Chen always talked a lot when it came to his idols.
“I’ve told you about the Lou family before right? Though they’re not one of the four prominent families in the Capital City, they’re known for their involvement in martial arts. They have countless disciples under their wing.”
“I wanted to try and apply to be an apprentice under their family but my parents and brother said no.”
“I heard out of everyone in that family, only Lou Yufei is extremely talented. She’s learned up to level seven of her grandfather’s ancient martial art. The others in her family cannot even surpass level one.”
“Wait, Qingqing, I wanted to ask you something. Did you learn your ancient martial art by becoming an apprentice in the Lou family?”
Qiao Qing shook her head, “No.”
Luo Chen said “oh” and didn’t push further. Instead, he continued fawning, “I admire her not only for her martial art skills, it’s also because she’s a professional car racer! Other than the God of Racing, she holds the record for fastest speed! She drove 7km/hr faster than Fei Lai.”
“Every car racing fan knows this. Isn’t it so cool that a girl is so skilled with both ancient martial art and car racing? She sounds better than most men, am I right?”
Qiao Qing paused, then nodded.
She looked down and started to check out his belt.
“Qing… Qingqing, what are you staring at? Even if you are not afraid, I’m afraid of third young master Jun!”
Qiao Qing’s face turned dark, “I just want to ask you if there is anything to watch out for when boys are buying belts?”
“Ah? Belt? Then there is a lot to watch out for!” Luo Chen said, “The size of the buckle, the style, the thickness, the leather… everything is important!”
Qiao Qing nodded, “After school, come with me to pick out a few.”
Luo Chen froze, “Man’s belt? You’re giving out gifts? To who?”
Qiao Qing paused and didn’t answer.
Luo Chen started to smirk and elbowed her, “You don’t need to tell me for me to know it’s for third young master Jun.”
Qiao Qing didn’t deny and simply said “Mmhmm.”
Her honesty made it difficult for Luo Chen to make fun of her.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you buying him a belt? Is it his birthday soon?”
Qiao Qing nodded again.
Luo Chen slapped his chest, “Great! Then let me handle it. I promise you I’ll pick out one that you like!”
After they got to campus, they went to their respective classes.
After school, Han Zhi drove the two to the mall to pick out a belt for Jun Yexuan.
After they shopped around multiple stores, they still couldn’t find anything they liked. So they ended up entering a luxuriously decorated shop.
When they got to the belt section, Qiao Qing’s eyes brightened. She pointed at the transparent glass shelf, “Can I see that one?”
