Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Turn for the Better

  "Alright! You... what's wrong? Smile one! Hehe!"

  "What's wrong? Are you okay?! You... don't stare at me like that, it's scary!" Qin Ke said with a somewhat awkward tone after collecting his smile.

  "Hey......hey......? Where are you going?" I still suppressed the urge to scold Qin Ke, got out of bed.

  "Alright! Hehe! Don't be angry anymore!? Smile one more time! Good boy!" Qin Ke Yi stood up from the bed and hugged me from behind.

  "Don't you think you're being too much!?" I turned around and said to Qin Ke.

  "I think I have a knack for acting and directing, hehe!" Qin Ke said with a grin, before pouncing on me again in an attempt to hug me, but was stopped by me.

  "What's wrong? Isn't this just a joke?" Qin Ke asked strangely.

  "Are you kidding me?! What is this?! You slap me and then give me a piece of candy to eat?! Are we treating our relationship like a child's plaything?! Have you ever respected my feelings for you?! Do you know how I felt at that time?! Do you think this is funny?!" I said loudly, somewhat out of control, to Qin Ke.

  "You're also wrong!"

  "I was wrong!?! Do you know what happened that day?! You didn't even give me a chance to explain and just jumped to conclusions like this!!" I finally shouted at Qin Ke.

  "That's right! Why did you lie to me!!!! I gave you the chance to explain!!!!! Why did you have to lie to me!!!!!! What I hate most is being lied to by others!!!!!" Qin Ke Yi also shouted at me.

  "I'm not cheating on you!!!! We didn't do anything!!!!! I was just afraid that you would overthink it, so I hid it from you. I wanted to choose a good time to explain it to you!!!!!"

  "You've never done anything, why are you afraid I'll think too much!" Qin Ke yelled at me relentlessly.

  "Whatever! I don't want to argue with you about these meaningless things early in the morning! I have class!!"

  "Stop right there! Don't you want to make things clear?"

  "With your current temper and sharp tongue, what can you clearly say!? However, Qin Ke Yi, I'm reminding you again! I'm not one of those boys who chase after you nonstop. I admit I really like you, but that doesn't mean you can treat me like a monkey!! Think for yourself whether what you did was right or wrong!!"

  "I don't think there's anything wrong! If you can't accept it then I'll move out! It would be better for you, so you won't get angry looking at me and affect your mood!"

  "Haha! Alright! There's a moving company's phone number on the table! Of course, you don't need it, just make a few calls and many boys will come to help you. Oh yeah! When you leave, don't forget to leave the key behind, I don't want to wake up one day and find someone sleeping in front of me saying the dorm is cold! In the middle of summer, not dying from heatstroke is already good enough! Still cold?! Ridiculous! Next time, please come up with a more convincing reason!!" Qin Ke slammed the door into her own room after hearing my words, I sighed and hastily washed up before rushing to school for class.

  The drowsy state after getting drunk was brought by me to the classroom, although Teacher Ma Zhe tried his best to use his humor to the extreme to arouse our interest in what he was talking about and adjust the classroom atmosphere, but due to the nature of the course itself, it was destined that this course would be the ideal sleeping course for many students. From childhood to adulthood, I have taken many courses like this with no doubt, but except for instilling a lot of ideological diarrhea into our brains, only a few beautiful dreams that can be remembered were left to me.

  "Teacher! Sorry! I'm late! Excuse me!" A familiar voice made me suddenly lift my head, which had been dazed for who knows how long, and to my surprise, I saw Qin Ke Yi standing at the door apologizing to the teacher.

  "Classmate! Look! What time is it now? You're 20 minutes late!!"

  "Sorry teacher, I was delayed due to something, I'll be more careful next time!"

  "Alright! No need for explanations! You're just in time to answer a question I asked earlier. There's no such thing as ghosts or spirits in this world, right?"

  "Ah!? I'm not quite sure about this! Who can prove that it doesn't have any?" Qin Ke thought for a moment before responding to the teacher.

  "But there is no evidence that anyone has ever seen such a thing! So, out of scientific rigor, we should not consider it!"

  "Have you ever seen electricity, teacher?" Qin Ke asked with a smile.

  "Never seen before! But it has indeed been proven to exist!" The teacher said with a pleased smile.

  "Teacher, by your logic, none of us, including yourself, have ever seen your brain, nor is there any evidence that there must be a brain inside your skull. Can we say you don't have a brain?" Qin Ke Yi's words instantly achieved the goal the teacher had been hoping for but couldn't attain, and everyone was reduced to laughter by his remarks. The classroom atmosphere finally reached what the teacher had hoped for. The teacher, red-faced and helpless, waved his hand to signal Qin Ke Yi to enter, so Qin Ke Yi bowed to the teacher, looked around at the front, and walked towards me through the greedy gazes of the boys, and when he saw me, I quickly lay down on the desk.

  "Classmate, can you move over a bit? I want to sit here?" I heard Qin Ke walk over and say to the boy sitting next to me. The boy agreed to Qin Ke's request without hesitation.

  "Kang Jian! I know you're faking sleep! Stop pretending! Get up!" Qin Ke said to me as soon as he sat down and leaned in close to my ear.

  "Hey, are you still angry? Anger is bad for your health and can cause wrinkles. It can even lead to hormonal imbalances." Qin Kaiyi continued to whisper in my ear since I didn't react. At this point, the anger in my heart had been extinguished by half, but driven by my ego and pride as a man, I was still hesitant about whether to get up.

  "Kang Jian! After you left, I thought about it for a long time. I know that sometimes I'm childish and like to cause trouble, but I never had any malicious intentions. I also never disrespected your feelings towards me or our relationship between us. Actually, when we ran into each other at the laundry shop that day, I wasn't even that angry anymore. But girls all like to be coquettish and like being comforted by boys, and I'm no exception. Who knew you'd give up so quickly? And then on top of that, you lied to me when I came back, making me so angry. So I designed a little play to tease you, but now I know I went too far. I was wrong, don't be mad at me anymore, okay?" Qin Ke Yi said very gently and sincerely to me.

  Second by second passed, I was always cheering myself up, my heart kept saying "just a little while longer!", but at the moment when I was about to get up, I gave up again. I didn't even know why I was hesitating, maybe it was because of my pride.

  "Whatever...! Take care of yourself! I'm leaving! You take care of yourself too!" Just as I was about to get up, Qin Ke'er let out a sigh and said this to me..., As she was about to leave the door, I lifted my head and watched her walk out under the teacher's surprised and bewildered gaze...

  Regret is a very wasteful and foolish act, I once deeply realized that after things have happened, instead of making futile regrets, it's better to put more experience into how to make up for it and try to salvage the bad ending as much as possible. So when I saw Qin Kei walk out of the door for over ten seconds, I impulsively stood up from my seat, under the even more surprised and bewildered gaze of the teacher, and rushed out of the classroom...

  There was no longer Qin Ke Yi's figure in the corridor, only I stood there looking around blindly. The familiar ringtone sounded, and from the ringtone, I knew it was Qin Ke Yi calling, so I hastily picked up the phone.

  "Why aren't you sleeping? Come out for some fresh air?" Qin Ke Yi said over the phone.

  "I'm going to the bathroom!"

  "The toilet is just next to the classroom! Hehe! What are you looking for? Why so anxious?"

  "Where are you?" I lost interest in arguing with Qin Ke Yi and said.

  "What? Want to see me?" Qin Ke said with a smile.

  "Cut the crap! Where are you?" I said impatiently.

  "If you want to see me, just chant the spell!"

  "What... incantation?" I asked curiously.

  "Loudly say 'Kei! I want to see you!' and I'll appear!"

  "How old are you!? Still playing with such boring things! Quickly tell me where it's hiding!" I said, looking around in all directions.

  "Don't say anything then, let's see if I can get out of here!"

  "Don't push me! If I find you, there will be severe consequences!" I threatened.

  "Hehe! Building No. 1 is so big, when can you find me?"

  "Alright, alright! I give up! But one thing, I want to see you."

  "Not sincere enough, voice not loud enough! Try again!"

  "It's time for class now!! Do you want the whole building to hear?!"

  "Haha! Alright, turn around, walk to the staircase entrance, look right and you'll see me!" I hung up the phone, walked to the staircase entrance, and saw Qin Ke Yi standing on the steps looking at me with a smile...

  "What are you smiling at? Don't you want to hug me?" Qin Ke said with a smile.

  "I'd rather cripple you!"... In Qin Ke Yi's sharp cry, I rushed up to hug her, starting a crazy revenge...
