The corridor's lights fell on the small distance between the two, brightly illuminating the two young girls.
Wei Qingyu's expression visibly froze; she hadn't expected Ji Xiao to be truly absent from her room.
Realizing she had been standing foolishly in front of Ji Xiao's door knocking for quite some time, and Ji Xiao witnessing it, made Wei Qingyu feel embarrassed.
Her earlobes, hidden beneath her long hair, warmed slightly.
"Are you looking for me?" Ji Xiao looked at Wei Qingyu with confusion, breaking the peculiar silence.
While climbing the stairs, she had vaguely heard someone calling her name from the second floor. Following the stairs, she found Wei Qingyu knocking on her door, appearing to have something to discuss.
"Mm," Wei Qingyu nodded, her grip on the two notebooks tightening involuntarily.
"Then let's talk in your room," Ji Xiao said, carrying the two boxes as she headed towards Wei Qingyu's door.
With a gentle press of her slender elbow against the silver handle, the neatly arranged room of the girl appeared before them.
Ji Xiao, feeling exhausted from carrying the two boxes, ignored politeness and walked straight in, placing the boxes on the floor.
"What are you doing..." Wei Qingyu stood behind Ji Xiao, extremely puzzled.
The white carpet slightly dimpled under the edges of the two large boxes, and Wei Qingyu, standing at the doorway, involuntarily clutched the notebooks in her hands.
After a long time, her uneasy heart began to beat irregularly once again.
She wondered if her recent abnormal behavior was reverting to its original state...
Were all the assistance Ji Xiao had given to her going to be demanded back through the contents of that box?
"Look at the good things I bought for you."
The girl's voice still carried a hint of the original owner's arrogance, and a triumphant tone was evident.
However, Ji Xiao didn't know that this was the most commonly spoken phrase by the original owner every time she found a reason to torment Wei Qingyu.
The sharp blade cut through the tape, producing a crisp sound.
In Wei Qingyu's pupils, the cold light reflected off the blade.
She watched Ji Xiao, who had her back turned to her, and somehow, amid the tense emotions, a lot of feelings of loss emerged.
But she should have long been numb to Ji Xiao, shouldn't she?
Ji Xiao was excitedly opening the box and paid no attention to Wei Qingyu's odd behavior.
She opened both boxes, squatting down and looking up at Wei Qingyu standing on the side. "Come, take a look!"
Wei Qingyu, expressionless, walked up to Ji Xiao and looked at the two open large boxes beside her.
The light fell on the girl's cool eyes, and in the next second, a glimmer of surprise flashed within.
Inside those two boxes were not horrifying torture tools but portable suppressants and suppressant patches!
"This is..." Wei Qingyu realized what Ji Xiao was doing, but couldn't believe it.
"It's a gift for you." Ji Xiao patted the two large boxes containing suppressants and patches. "This time, you've encountered this lady. Let me tell you, not all Alphas are as powerful in telepathy as this lady. Your luck is so bad, always running into rotten people. Protect yourself."
As she spoke, Ji Xiao picked up a box of portable suppressants and threw it to Wei Qingyu.
Wei Qingyu stood there blankly, subconsciously reaching out to catch the item flying towards her.
Although portable suppressants may not have the extended heat cycle-suppressing duration of regular suppressants, their advantage lies in their quick effectiveness. This is particularly suitable for Wei Qingyu, who always encounters troublesome people, as mentioned by Ji Xiao.
Wei Qingyu looked at the portable suppressant in her hand. In her left hand, the notebook, which she had tightly rolled into a sturdy stick, was quietly relaxed.
She knew that portable suppressants were three to four times more expensive than regular ones, and the suppressant patches in the other box were also of the best domestic brand.
These were things she had once wanted to buy for herself just in case but couldn't afford due to poverty.

Wei Qingyu could never have imagined that one day Ji Xiao would buy these things for her, and in such large quantities. This time, she had indeed misunderstood her.
Wei Qingyu was a bit unsure of what to say, and for a moment, she became tongue-tied. "Thank you."
"Take care of yourself. Not causing trouble for this lady is the greatest thank you," Ji Xiao said, raising her hand slightly and maintaining her appearance as a spoiled Young Miss.
Wei Qingyu vividly remembered that not long ago, Ji Xiao had said similar words to her. On that day, Ji Qingyun released pheromones, and she narrowly avoided a mishap.
The faint scent of peach brandy lingered on Wei Qingyu's shoulder.
Arrogant and chilly, yet gentle and delicate.
Ji Xiao stood up from the ground and was about to leave but remembered Wei Qingyu knocking on her door earlier. She asked, "Hey, didn't you have something to discuss with me? What's the matter?"
Wei Qingyu paused, recalling the notebook in her hand. She said, "This is for you."
"What?" Ji Xiao curiously took the notebook from Wei Qingyu's hand.
This notebook was oddly placed, and its pages were bent into a large "C."
Ji Xiao twirled the curved corner and flipped through the contents, discovering that it was actually a biology notebook!
Ji Xiao's eyes instantly lit up.
Wei Qingyu stood quietly on the side, reminding her, "Don't go looking for a needle in a haystack; reviewing these for the exams is enough."
"Okay!" Ji Xiao nodded heavily and said to Wei Qingyu, "Thank you!”
The soft light in the room fell on Ji Xiao's face, lighting up her eyes impartially.
Interweaving gold and orange, with a smile that belongs to an Alpha's aura, curved on her lips.
It was simply dazzling.
Wei Qingyu couldn't help but lower her gaze.
She looked at the gauze on her left hand and added coldly: "This is my repayment for your favor today."
She said it to Ji Xiao, but also said it to herself.
"Oh." Ji Xiao's smile faded slightly at the words, and without saying anything more, she turned and left Wei Qingyu's room.
Some people are cool on the surface and are as happy as a child when they leave the room.
Ji Xiao opened the door of her room and jumped onto her soft and elastic bed.
She held the notebook in her hand against her chest and rolled on the bed.
This is simply a surprise.
Although Wei Qingyu said "repayment," Ji Xiao could sense the lessening vigilance and resentment from her.
Otherwise, why would she take the initiative to knock on her door and give her a biology notebook?
Doesn't this indicate that she's one step further away from the inevitable death in the grand finale?
After all, Wei Qingyu is no longer resistant to being around her!
"Hehehe." Ji Xiao rolled around on the bed, delighted like a two-hundred-pound child.
The night deepens, and the insect sounds create a sense of loneliness.
Some people are reveling, while others are getting ready to sleep.
After organizing the two large boxes of suppressants and patches that Ji Xiao gave her, Wei Qingyu took a shower.
Steam diffused from the bathroom to the bedroom as Wei Qingyu, wearing a plain white cotton nightgown, emerged from the shower.
Her semi-dried long hair was wrapped in a white towel, revealing a delicately petite face.
The moonlight filtered through the window, casting a soft glow on her, adding a touch of purity.
The girl's slender fingers untied the towel and glided through her dark, wet hair, delicately and gracefully wiping it dry.
Her calm turquoise eyes and the overall scene exuded softness and beauty.
At that moment, Wei Qingyu noticed her phone, placed on the bedside table, lighting up with a breathing light.
She approached and picked up the phone, and a familiar doodle-like avatar caught her eye.
— [Your Universe's Invincible Ji Cutie] has sent you a friend request.
Wei Qingyu's eyes froze.
She remembered that this picture was drawn for her by a talented boy in her class in junior high school.
Clearly, it doesn't match Ji Xiao's bold personality, and she doesn't know why she likes it so much.
From the third year of junior high school to now, although the names have changed, the profile picture has stubbornly remained the same.
By some strange coincidence, Wei Qingyu clicked [Agree].
After a moment's consideration, she sent two cold words: [Something wrong?]
In the neighboring room where Ji Xiao was playing a game, she instantly opened a chat window and said arrogantly: [Can't I add you as a friend for no reason?]
She just realized a moment ago that the original owner hadn't added Wei Qingyu on QQ*.
*a messaging site/app
With the courage brought by the biology notebook in her arms, Ji Xiao sent a friend request.
This also makes it convenient to improve their relationship in the future.
After all, hiding behind the small screen, Ji Xiao won't be afraid to interact with Wei Qingyu.
Wei Qingyu looked at the line of text sent by Ji Xiao, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in her eyes.
After a pause, Wei Qingyu's fingers, like jade, coldly typed two words: [You can].
Ji Xiao looked at the message sent by Wei Qingyu after a long time, thinking that she might find her annoying.
Also, today's contact with Wei Qingyu has been frequent enough, she better not try too hard and turn positive points into negative ones.
Besides, she gave her notes today, which is a significant improvement. There's plenty of time ahead.
Ji Xiao rolled on the bed, contemplated for a while, changed the caring message [It's been a tiring day, rest early.] to [It's been a tiring day, I'm going to rest.] and sent it to Wei Qingyu.
Even without Ji Xiao's voice, Wei Qingyu could almost hear Ji Xiao's tone of a Young Miss in her mind as she looked at the message.
Indeed, this Young Miss seemed to act on a whim, maybe adding her back as a friend was just a sudden fancy.
There was no sound of wind in the quiet night sky, and the bright moonlight did not illuminate the dark room.
Wei Qingyu glanced at Ji Xiao's profile picture again, turned off the lights, and got ready to sleep with an expressionless face.
The next moment, a beam of light illuminated the dark room.
The light from the phone screen brightened Wei Qingyu's cold expression, and a peculiar gleam appeared in the girl's turquoise eyes.
Your Universe’s Invincible Ji Cutie: [Good night].
Author's Note:
Coward Ji: What kind of non-mainstream and broken username is this? (throw down)
Cold Wei: I think it sounds pretty good.
Coward Ji quietly picks up the not-so-mainstream username.
