The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 143 You're quite pitiful.

“Then you’re quite pitiful,” Qin Men rolled his eyes and said, “You have no way to appreciate the beauty of cultural relics. If I told you that cultural relics are a bridge for us to communicate with the ancients across thousands of years, your idle brain would have to spend most of its time trying to understand that sentence.”

The museum was quite noisy, so no one paid attention to what Qin Men was saying.

But when Luo Yingying heard this, her sweet and lovely smile froze on her face.

Jin Youan knew what Luo Yingying had done to the Qin family before, and she felt that she didn't have any right to argue with the Qin family. Besides, this was a museum, and it wouldn't be good to argue here.

So Jin Youan didn't say anything, but just tugged at Luo Yingying, trying to lead her somewhere else.

Jin Youan took a step to the side, but Luo Yingying didn't, so she almost fell on top of Jin Youan.

But Luo Yingying's eyes were still fixed on Qin Men, her eyes filled with tears.

Seeing this, Qin Men rolled his eyes again, put his arm around Jiang Qiuyue's shoulder, and led her to the exhibition hall they hadn't seen before.

As he walked, Qin Men muttered to himself, "What bad luck in broad daylight, what a ghost!"

Turning his head, Qin Men said to Jiang Qiuyue, "Qiuyue, have you seen that teardrop-shaped one? The sea-blue one is quite pretty."

"Hmm...we should go a few more steps ahead." Jiang Qiuyue turned her head and saw a blue light flash by a booth.

“It’s that one,” Jiang Qiuyue pointed, “the one that’s blue.”

"Okay! Let's go take a look." Qin Men took Jiang Qiuyue's arm and walked towards that place.

Watching Qin Men leave with Jiang Qiuyue, Luo Yingying gritted her teeth—although she had long known that Qin Men was difficult to deal with, she had never felt that way when she first met him.

The Qin family is such a show-off!

How could she be so different from everyone else? How could she be different from everyone else?! Luo Yingying clenched her fist. She should be like everyone else, desperately trying to keep me after I broke up with her, heartbroken over me. And when she saw me later, she should speak to me politely, her eyes showing her lingering affection for me.

Instead of what it is now! Talking back to me for the sake of that country bumpkin Jiang Qiuyue, without giving me any way out!

Luo Yingying was angry and for a moment forgot to control her expression; her whole face was covered in anger.

Jin Youan had never seen Luo Yingying like this before. She carefully poked Luo Yingying and softly called her name.

Luo Yingying then realized her mistake and leaned on Jin Youan. A tear or two rolled down her cheek as she said, "Youan, I want to rest for a while."

Jin Youan silently helped Luo Yingying to sit down on a chair set up inside the jewelry exhibition hall.

Jin Youan's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't hear what Luo Yingying was saying to him at all.

Jin Youan also saw Luo Yingying's expression just now. She knew that Luo Yunyun was putting on this act for the Qin family's benefit.

why?

Before meeting Qin Men, Luo Yingying had been showing little interest in the jewelry exhibition. Some of the exhibits were pulled away by Luo Yingying before Jin Youan could even look at them.

After seeing the Qin family, Luo Yingying regained some energy, and her expression changed drastically; her previous smile turned into tears.

Jin Youan's mind was a complete mess; she was still thinking about the questions that had been swirling in her mind ever since she met the Qin family:

Was Luo Yingying's crying just now an attempt to attract the attention of the Qin family?

Is Luo Yingying still thinking about the Qin family?

If Luo Yingying still has feelings for the Qin family, then what am I to her?

"You'an, You'an! Are you listening?" Luo Yingying noticed that Jin You'an seemed a little distracted when she was halfway through her sentence, so she tugged at him a little in annoyance.

Jin Youan snapped out of his daze and looked at Luo Yingying somewhat guiltily, asking, "Yingying, what's wrong?"

"What did I just say?" Luo Yingying said, dissatisfied. "It seems like you weren't listening to me."

“I heard it…” Jin Youan subconsciously retorted.

"Then what did I just say?" Luo Yingying was a little angry—it was one thing for the Qin family not to do things her way, but why was Jin Youan doing the same thing?

Jin Youan felt even more guilty—she hadn't heard a single word Luo Yingying had said.

Seeing Jin Youan remain silent, Luo Yingying's dissatisfaction became even more apparent: "Don't you care about me at all? You didn't even listen when I was talking to you just now."

Although they weren't making much noise right now, Jin Youan had a feeling that if things continued like this, the two of them might start arguing in public.

So Jin Youan quickly tugged at Luo Yingying and said, "Let's talk about this when we get home. Didn't you want to see the jewelry exhibition? Let's take a look first."

Seeing Jin Youan's evasive look, Luo Yingying became even angrier. She grabbed her crutch, refused Jin Youan's help, and skipped away on her own.

"Yingying," Jin Youan called softly, following behind Luo Yingying. Every time she tried to touch Luo Yingying, she was pushed away by Luo Yingying.

Qin Men and Jiang Qiuyue were looking at a phoenix-shaped gemstone ornament.

Although the phoenix was small, you could clearly see the patterns on its feathers if you looked closely.

"I don't understand their thinking, but it's really amazing that they can do this much!" Qin Men exclaimed. "The only thing that can make me spend so much time doing is lying in bed sleeping."

"If I remember correctly, your grades were ranked third in the grade, right?" Jiang Qiuyue casually uttered this question.

"Hey, isn't it because you're the top student in the grade helping me catch up? If it weren't for you, I might not even pass." Qin Men smiled and went behind the exhibit, taking a picture of the exhibit and Jiang Qiuyue together.

A series of tapping sounds of a cane on the ground grew louder as Qin Men looked up and saw Luo Yingying leaning on her cane, walking steadily toward the exit.

Jin Youan followed behind Luo Yingying, cautiously extending his hand, then timidly withdrawing it.

The two of them... had a fight. Qin Men thought to himself, then suddenly remembered that Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM had mentioned before that Luo Yingying had an official partner.

Who's so unlucky? Qin Men wondered.

It's Jin Youan. Lu Renkui, who was dizzy from sorting out Qin Men's previous romantic experiences, had just taken a break when she heard Qin Men's inner thoughts.

Qin Men paused in her photography, but quickly pressed the shutter button again, taking another picture of Jiang Qiuyue, who was focused on watching the little phoenix.

Qin Men inwardly gasped, and while she put away her phone and accompanied Jiang Qiuyue to see the next exhibit, she was deep in thought.

After thinking it over, Qin Men asked Lu Renkui in his mind, "Are the two of them destined to be entangled?"

Lu Renkui rubbed his head and said, "Not necessarily. After all, we have experience ruining the main characters' romantic storylines before, and this matter caused some delays in the previous worlds."

"But I've earned more points too." Lu Renkui lay sprawled on the ground, waiting for his head to feel less sore. "The system's main system is pretty good; it didn't deduct points from us for the trouble we caused."

"I didn't lose points because I was being scolded!" A transparent blue panel taut and flew past Lu Renkui's nose.

The weary and angry voice of System WQBYRZM came through again: "Do you know what I was looking at while you were doing the mission? Besides reading the original plot, I also had to read the reports that the main system sent me! There were hardly any words praising me in the reports, they were basically all scolding me!"

"Damn it, I also have to write a self-criticism! 3 words! 3 words!!!"

Qin Men heard Lu Renkui chuckle twice in his mind, and he couldn't help but chuckle himself.

"This exhibit is a bit strange, but it's not funny either." Jiang Qiuyue looked at the somewhat abstract brooch that looked like a mouse and inexplicably wanted one.

"It's alright." Qin Men immediately put on a good expression. "This exhibit is quite interesting, don't you think? This rat's eyes are big and small. Its body is also completely asymmetrical, with three legs on one side and half a tail on the other."

"The name is weird too, 'Forced Fusion.' Aside from the rat spitting on paper, it doesn't seem like anything special." Qin Men circled the three-dimensional rat brooch again.

Jiang Qiuyue lowered her eyes, looked at the mouse, and offered her idea.

"Perhaps this forced fusion is referring to this rat!"

"Although the joints of this mouse are very well done, as if they were carved together."

"But it looks different on each side, and the two sides... seem to be tearing each other apart."

"There is a feeling that things are harmonious on the surface, but in reality they are falling apart."

"Hey, what you're saying makes some sense." Qin Men listened to Jiang Qiuyue's words and circled around the rat brooch with the paper stuck on it with saliva.

After visiting the jewelry exhibition, the two took a taxi back to school and ate their fill at a newly opened buffet restaurant in a shopping mall near the school.

As planned, the two went to see a movie. Jiang Qiuyue chose the movie; she didn't know what it was about, but the title seemed interesting, so she chose it.

Then I found out it was a horror movie.

The movie lasted two and a half hours. Qin Men and Jiang Qiuyue watched the first half hour with furrowed brows, and after another hour, Jiang Qiuyue fell asleep, while Qin Men cursed the movie plot in his mind for an hour.

The plot of this movie is so bad it makes anyone want to curse—who makes a horror movie spend half the time on romance?! There are more scenes with pink bubble filters than scary scenes!

The movie ended, and Qin Men took Jiang Qiuyue home.

Jiang Qiuyue rubbed her eyes, yawned, and expressed her gratitude to Qin Men for taking her home.

Qin Men smiled and said, "Wait a minute, you have another surprise for you today."

Qin Men turned around, took out his bag, and pulled out a delicate little nightlight.

The nightlight is shaped like a crescent moon and cleverly integrated with an osmanthus tree. A rabbit is lying at the bottom of the crescent moon, spraying medicine with a stick.

"Happy birthday!" Qin Men turned on the lights, and the orange light shone on the faces of the two girls.

Seeing Jiang Qiuyue take the nightlight, Qin Men waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving."

After watching Qin Men walk down two or three steps, Jiang Qiuyue suddenly called out to Qin Men.

"What's wrong?" Qin Men turned around and asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just very happy today." Shao Jiang Qiuyue held the small, fully-charged nightlight, its orange light illuminating her entire face. "I'm happier than ever before."

With the help of the orange light, Jiang Qiuyue could also make out a bit of Qin Men's expression.

Qin Men grinned and said, "Happy birthday, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." After saying that, Jiang Qiuyue watched Qin Men's figure disappear, then carried the nightlight into the room and placed it on her bedside table.
