Fu Yi and Xie Shu both went to the restroom.
This made Shen Jianxi feel a bit strange.
If only one of them had gone, she wouldn't have thought much of it, but now both of them had.
Knowing that her relationship with Song Duanli was not pure.
Now Shen Jianxi had to pull her attention away from the cartoon.
She unconsciously turned her head to the right. The moment she met Song Duanli's gaze, her first instinct was to pretend nothing had happened and turn back.
But after performing this action, she realized something was wrong.
It seemed a bit redundant...
A chuckle sounded in her ear. Warm breath tickled her earlobe, and she instinctively turned her head.
Their warm lips met. Shen Jianxi and Song Duanli's eyes widened.
77: "Beep! Affection points +4, Song Duanli's current affection is 65."
The next second, Song Duanli's expression changed from surprise to a smile.
Shen Jianxi pushed him away and wiped her mouth with disgust. Song Duanli's low laughter came from her left.
"Stop laughing! That was an accident!"
"Mm, an accident." Song Duanli didn't refute her, his eyes filled with amusement as he looked at her.
Shen Jianxi: ...This person seemed not to understand a word.
Laughing and laughing, what was there to laugh about!
She tilted her head and glared at him, then turned her face away, unwilling to look at him anymore.
Annoying!
Song Duanli wanted to say more. Her current state was truly rare, but Xie Shu and Fu Yi had already returned.
Seeing the two people, though still far apart, whose atmosphere was clearly different from before, Shen Jianxi's alarm bells rang.
Something was wrong, definitely wrong.
What were these two plotting?
With no time for deep thought, the rear door was opened, and they got back into the car. Seeing her look over, Xie Shu gave her a hearty laugh.
Shen Jianxi: ...She got goosebumps.
If she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't trouble herself for now. Shen Jianxi leaned her head back and closed her eyes to rest. These three people were all scheming, with a combined eighty thousand thoughts. If she spent her days just thinking about what they were thinking, she'd be exhausted.
It was better to deal with whatever came her way, take it one step at a time. After all, once her affection reached 80, she could have 77 leave this world directly.
With this thought in mind, though still wary, she felt slightly relieved. Thinking too much was truly a headache.

"Thank you, big brother!" The two voices speaking in unison left Song Duanli speechless.
Who were they calling big brother? Why the casual address?
He didn't even look at the two of them. After the car doors were closed, he stepped on the gas and drove away from the school.
Fu Yi and Xie Shu exchanged a look, then Fu Yi spoke, "I'll await your news. I hope you can be quick."
Xie Shu snorted and dismissively turned his head, "Don't worry, I'll notify you when everything is settled. You just wait for my news."
Fu Yi didn't care about his bad attitude and smiled slightly, "Then I'll await your good news." With that, he left with his belongings.
The remaining Xie Shu pouted as he watched Fu Yi's retreating back, muttering, "Hypocrite!"
Then he got into his own car.
...
Song Duanli didn't rush home. Instead, he pulled over to the side of the road in a secluded spot along the way.
"Why are we stopping here?" Shen Jianxi sat up and looked around.
This place was quite suitable for dumping a body.
What was this dog man planning?
Song Duanli was silent for a moment before saying, "Let's talk."
"Talk about what?"
Honestly, given their current relationship, Shen Jianxi really didn't know what they had to talk about. Hearing him say this, she found it amusing.
"I know about Song Qi forcing you that day." Seeing her slight surprise, he smiled and continued, "You don't need to be so shocked. It's easy to figure out."
"Song Qi fought with me that afternoon. I know it was because he found out about us."
"Although I'm not sure how he found out, given his temper, he definitely wouldn't have listened to your explanation that night."
"So it's easy to figure out that he forced..."
"So?" Shen Jianxi couldn't be bothered to listen to his analysis. She believed that with Song Duanli's intelligence, it wouldn't be difficult to deduce this. She only wanted to know the central point he wanted to convey.
"So..." He turned to look at her, his gaze focused and serious, "Since you could give Song Qi a chance, why can't you give me one?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jianxi met his gaze for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Ah—so that's it, then..."
"Alright..."
77: "Beep! Affection points +8, Song Duanli's current affection is 73."
