In their last life, Lin Qian’s relationship with Lin YaZhi hadn’t been very harmonious. Back then, Lin Qian tried to stay away from his house, and weekends were often spent in the city library.

Now, as he stepped inside that same library, the place still felt very familiar to him, even though he hadn’t been here in over a decade.

It was different now though. In his last life, he had come to this place to escape his problems. Now, Lin Qian felt like he was ‘facing’ these troubles.

Luckily, he doesn’t have to face such things alone anymore.

“Finish these problems by today.” Lin Qian stood behind Zheng PingQing, his arms on his shoulders as he set him a small goal.

As he was being pushed, Zheng PingQing sighed. “Do you think this is how dates go?”

Lin Qian replied: “It’s how dates between senior high school students should go.”

Zheng PingQing: ….Having an overly ambitious boyfriend is so troublesome.

Fortunately, while Zheng PingQing didn’t like studying, his brain was first-class. Especially with him being much younger, his concentration level now couldn’t be compared to that in his thirties.

Zheng PingQing did the problems quickly, and if he encountered a problem he couldn’t solve, he simply needed to ask Lin Qian to explain.

Of course, he sometimes pretended to be confused just so he could harass Lin Qian.

But he failed to rein in his flirting, and carelessly asked about the same type of question twice, immediately causing Lin Qian to cotton onto his schemes.

Lin Qian clutched at his hair. “…this question is just like the one you asked half an hour ago!”

Zheng PingQing replied arrogantly, as if in the right: “So you won’t help me?”

What can Lin Qian say? Of course he has to indulge him, ah. “…I’ll explain.”

But Zheng PingQing wasn’t just arrogant; he also wanted to be praised for his deeds. “Look, I asked you questions and didn’t embarrass you, isn’t this atmosphere quite intimate right now?”

Lin Qian: “Yes, it is.”

I’m agreeing on the surface, yes, yes, yes, but I know that he actually just wants to take advantage of me.jpg

Lin Qian’s explanations were very detailed and profound. Their heads were close together, and probably due to habit, Zheng PingQing rubbed Lin Qian’s nearby fingers. Eventually, Lin Qian caught the offending hand and drew a piglet on the palm.

But this proved to be disadvantageous for Lin Qian because Zheng PingQing insisted that the piglet should have a partner, meaning Lin Qian had to draw another piglet on his own palm.

Zheng PingQing was really milking this 17-year-old scenario dry.

I’ve finished the problem.

Zheng PingQing handed Lin Qian a note with these words.

Lin Qian looked at him funny, then flipped the note and quickly wrote a sentence. Afterward, he handed the note back to Zheng PingQing: I’ll be finishing soon, give me five minutes.

Zheng PingQing held his cheek in one hand and quietly enjoyed his boyfriend’s side profile.

The library had good lighting and a quiet atmosphere. An occasional voice or step could be heard as people passed by, but they were all in hushed tones. This atmosphere made the scholarly Lin Qian look even more beautiful and elegant….
