Chapter 600 So… you like me!
Chapter 600 So… you like me!
College cafeteria.
"Jiang Ye and the others said they've already eaten in the cafeteria. Let's go find them."
At the entrance, Li Yifei, who had just finished the forbidden ruins test, looked at the messages on his phone and spoke.
Jiang Er looked into the cafeteria, her eyes showing a hint of weariness.
This isn't a cafeteria, it's practically a standalone building, with over ten floors.
"Let's get our food first. I have something to do after we finish eating."
"What is it?"
"Private matter!"
Jiang Er straightened her skirt and walked into the cafeteria.
Her purpose in coming to the martial arts university was not primarily to study, but to find... Qingyu!
The Martial Arts University brings together all those who have awakened the Forbidden Realm in the Great Xia Dynasty. Even without the Key to the Gate in this life, Qingyu will definitely awaken the Forbidden Realm.
"After we finish eating, I'll go ask," Jiang Er muttered as she walked towards the braised chicken window.
Li Yifei, who was behind him, scratched his head and followed.
……
The restaurant is on the first floor.
"...This is why I made this contract with you. So, what do you say? Sign it?"
Jiang Ye, holding his chopsticks, explained to An Qingyu, "Don't worry, even after signing the contract, you will still be you, and I won't restrict your freedom."
"Besides, I can also help you grow quickly."
Upon hearing this, An Qingyu, who was sitting opposite, shifted her gaze to Jiang Ye's face and asked in confusion, "Can you help me find calamity?"
Even if he signs Jiang Ye's contract, it will only bring an increase in power.
However, the path of becoming stronger by dissecting 'calamity' remains unchanged.
In the Great Xia, a place where calamities are rare, it is simply impossible to satisfy one's need to become stronger.
Moreover, Jiang Ye is just a freshman, and even if he has extremely high talent, he can't cause much disaster.
"Sure," Jiang Ye agreed with absolute confidence.
An Qingyu frowned slightly, "How are you going to do it?"
"Don't worry about it."
Jiang Ye smiled mysteriously.
Now that I have a god-level little golden dragon, it would be a piece of cake for it to catch a few calamities.
These are the fates of working people. Even if they can't sign a contract, being exploited is still a good thing.
After all, it had consumed so much of what was in its own storage bag.
"Okay, I'll sign!" After some thought, An Qingyu signed her name in the lower right corner of the contract.
The moment the pen touched the paper, the contract flashed with golden light, and four large golden characters slowly appeared.
—The contract is established!
—The forbidden ruins can be requisitioned [The only correct answer]
Jiang Ye looked at the words that appeared on the contract and a smile crept onto his lips.
An Qingyu, who already possessed an extraordinary IQ, would be further enhanced by the Prime Minister's influence... Sooner or later, I would rule this world... cough cough!
Jiang Ye coughed twice, and Lin Qiye helplessly handed him a glass of water.
He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Thanks."
Lin Qiye nodded and watched as the contract transformed into golden light, landing on An Qingyu.
A golden light covered his body.
At this moment, An Qingyu closed her eyes, feeling as if her brain was opening up her Ren and Du meridians.
Problems and puzzles that were once incomprehensible are now solved with incredible ease.
He seemed to be standing on a world map, analyzing and speculating about the future and the fate of the nine realms.
An Qingyu suddenly opened her eyes, a gray glint flashing in them.
He could guess the meaning behind every micro-expression and movement of Jiang Ye and Lin Qiye within his field of vision.
They even noticed that Lin Qiye's gaze towards Jiang Ye seemed a little unusual.
An Qingyu was a little confused by this sudden increase.
He was jolted out of his daze when he heard a sound from the side.
"Jiang Ye, Lin Qiye, so you two were on the same floor!"
Li Yifei and Jiang Er came over carrying the food.
"Jiang Ye, who is this?" Li Yifei asked, sitting next to Jiang Ye and looking at An Qingyu.
Jiang Ye said calmly, "My new friend is named An Qingyu. He will be my prime minister from now on."
Li Yifei raised an eyebrow slightly, extended his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Li Yifei."
An Qingyu nodded calmly and shook his hand.
But just as he let go, he suddenly noticed that the girl in the white dress who had come with Li Yifei was staring at him.
Those big, bright eyes, glistening with tears, stood motionless.
When An Qingyu looked over, a faint blush rose on her fair face.
Ok?
An Qingyu gave a brief analysis, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Hey classmate, you see, my condition is a case of the 'halo effect.' In social psychology, you've developed a strong liking and admiration for me, which is basically being infatuated with someone."
"When I make eye contact with you, you feel your emotions are exposed, which activates the emotional areas of your brain and causes a blushing, shy response."
An Qingyu narrowed her eyes slightly and said in an extremely calm tone, "So... you like me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye, Lin Qiye, and Li Yifei exchanged glances and ultimately chose to eat in silence.
Jiang Er's brain completely shut down, and her cheeks turned even redder, as if they were on fire.
"me……"
"You don't need to answer. I can tell that your feelings for me are very genuine."
An Qingyu frankly said, "But I'm sorry, this kind of 'love at first sight' is based on cognitive bias and emotional impulse."
"From a psychological perspective, this is an extremely idealized form of liking, so please keep your rationality."
After a professional analysis, Jiang Er was at a loss for words.
She looked at Jiang Ye and the other two as if seeking help.
Jiang Ye sighed helplessly.
I hereby bestow upon you the title of princess. As your father, it is only natural that I must take charge of such an important matter in your life.
"An Qingyu, since you know someone likes you, why don't you add them on WeChat?"
"Get to know each other better, maybe love will just blossom."
As she spoke, Jiang Er readily put down her food and took out her phone.
An Qingyu frowned. "Adding me as a friend is fine, but anything else... forget it."
He knew it was because of Jiang Ye, but he didn't know why, ever since he signed the contract...
Jiang Ye's words inexplicably carried a sense of command that could not be disobeyed.
But when it comes to dating... he feels suffocated just thinking about having to find topics to talk about, share things, go shopping, and take care of another person's emotions every day.
This is not as fulfilling as research.
An Qingyu took out her phone and scanned the QR code on Jiang Er's phone.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Er broke into a bright smile.
She knew that An Qingyu had lost her memory and was now very resistant to her.
But feelings are something that need to be developed gradually; you can't rush it!
Adding someone as a friend completes the first step.
"Can I sit here?" After adding each other as friends, Jiang Er pointed to the seat next to An Qingyu.
An Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
After taking their seats, the five of them immediately sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Li Yifei also snapped out of his spectator mode and started a conversation: "Military training starts tomorrow. I was just testing the Forbidden Ruins."
"I heard from previous students that this military training is quite unusual!"
"They call it military training, but it's really just to undermine our confidence. The previous batch of freshmen were completely routed by the 'Masked' squad."
"Do you think those instructors will call in a special team too?"
