Don’t touch me!!!
In her mind, Jiang Quqi frantically messaged the system.
“System system system! How are Jiang Huairui and Song Qinglan here again? Oh my god.”
No idea, dear.
Jiang Quqi complained, “They’re like ghosts that just won’t leave. Can’t you just delete their scenes?”
Can’t do that, dear.
“Then what use are you!”
I provide emotional support, dear (* ￣3)(ε￣ *)
?
She remembered her system wasn’t like this when they first met.
One second,
Two seconds,
Three seconds.
Look up.
“Ha.”
Just my luck.
Jiang Quqi covered her face in exasperation and turned her head, trying to make the two people standing in front of her not recognize her. Like burying one’s head in the sand and thinking nobody sees you.
“I saw someone from far away who looked just like Sister Jiang, and it really is you!” Song Qinglan said coquettishly, holding onto Jiang Huairui’s arm.
Jiang Quqi turned her back to them and said nothing.
“Sister Jiang, are you still angry with me? I know you’re mad because you think I stole Brother Jiang away, but Brother Jiang and I truly love each other!” The one who isn’t loved is the third party, besides, it was just her who unilaterally broke up back then.
Jiang Huairui added from the side, “You were just a substitute for Qinglan anyway. Qinglan is kind-hearted and feels bad for you, but ultimately, you are the one who owes her.”
Qin Jiao sat opposite, slowly wiping his mouth with a tissue, raising his eyebrows again and again as he listened. Jiang Quqi caught sight of his watching-the-show expression out of the corner of her eye, glared at him fiercely, and finally deigned to turn around.
She pointed at Song Qinglan. “First of all, you are really something else. I blocked Jiang Huairui, didn’t you get the hint? Me and him? We were just employer and employee, pure and simple. Now the contract expired and wasn’t renewed, so we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Why the hell would I be angry? If you have too much free time, go read a book. Stop being so dramatic.”
Then she pointed at Jiang Huairui. “And you are even more ridiculous. Instead of hanging out with your girlfriend, you two keep showing up in front of me and spouting nonsense. You really have nothing better to do with your lives.”
“To sum up: I don’t owe anyone anything. You two stay together and don’t come find me. I’m begging you.”
“Since Sister isn’t angry anymore, then you will come to my birthday party in a few days, right?” Song Qinglan asked expectantly.
Wait, can this person understand human language?
Jiang Quqi refused flatly.
“So Sister really does hate me… Wuwuwu…”
Fed up, Jiang Quqi gestured to Qin Jiao. “Let’s go.”
Jiang Huairui reached out again to stop her. Jiang Quqi was quick, slapping his hand away, warning him repeatedly like exorcising evil spirits, “Stay away from me! Stay away! Come any closer and I’ll hit you!” She dragged Qin Jiao and walked away.
It was rush hour now, and the streets were getting crowded, but Jiang Quqi drove her scooter slowly as usual.
Jiang Quqi said, “Don’t you have anything to ask?”
“Ask what?”
“Aren’t you curious about my relationship with those two?”
“Do I need to know?”
Jiang Quqi chuckled. “Well, you don’t have to. They aren’t important people. Just stay away from them. Those two… their brains are broken, seriously broken.”
Qin Jiao smiled softly and agreed.
“Don’t just say ‘okay, okay’ all the time without actually taking it to heart.”
“And about what happened at school earlier, I almost forgot to tell you. If someone frames you, you have to speak up! What’s the point of staying silent? You expect people to just know the truth automatically? Are they Sherlock Holmes, or Conan, or Sun Wukong with golden eyes that can see through everything?”
“Remember this at school: Protect your own interests and rights firmly. Never let yourself suffer losses. Once you let people take advantage of you once, there will be a second time. You have to learn to use every means possible to protect yourself. As for how… well, improvise. If you really don’t know what to do, call me. I’ll handle it.”
The girl’s eyes were clear and pure, shining brightly in the glow of the sunset.
When the wind blew, her soft hair floated up, every strand glowing with golden light.
Like a knightess. Qin Jiao thought to himself.

The moonlight was gentle.
After taking a shower, sleepiness suddenly hit hard. Wearing a shower cap, Jiang Quqi leaned against the bay window, feeling warm and cozy. Closing her eyes, she was about to drift off.
“Sister?”
Jiang Quqi turned over.
“…Sister, don’t sleep here.”
Jiang Quqi didn’t move an inch.
Qin Jiao sighed. After hesitating for a long time, he gently patted her arm. “Sister, wake up.”
He patted three times. Just as he was wondering if he should shake her harder, Jiang Quqi slowly opened her eyes.
She was sleepy, opening one eye and closing the other. Staring blankly for a few seconds, she reached out and patted Qin Jiao’s head, muttering, “Quiet… be good…” Then she closed her eyes again, ready to continue sleeping.
Qin Jiao’s face turned bright red instantly. He stood there biting his lip, his mind torn between conflicting thoughts for a while. Finally, he bent down and spoke softly, as if coaxing a child.
“Sister, get up first. Let’s dry your hair before sleeping, okay?”
“Mmm… no… don’t want to… so sleepy…”
Qin Jiao frowned helplessly and asked again, “Then… Can I dry it for you?”
Jiang Quqi opened both eyes. She was still sleepy. She didn’t want to exert the effort to do it herself, but she also knew sleeping with wet hair would give her a headache. Hearing someone offer to help, she was tempted.
“You’ll dry it for me?”
“Mhm.”
Jiang Quqi slowly sat up, still half-asleep. She grabbed something on the left and pulled, but it wouldn’t move. She yanked hard. Qin Jiao stumbled, afraid of crushing her, and managed to steady himself against the wall at the last second. He looked down helplessly. “Sister… this is my clothes.”
“Hmm?” Jiang Quqi didn’t seem to hear. She started groping around on the window seat until she found a soft little pillow. She smiled happily and placed it behind her back, then waved her hand vaguely in the air, not even looking where he was.
“Come here.”
