Chapter Enjoy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder that guy had such an exquisite box, probably a fine item taken from home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At eleven forty-five in the morning, the school bell rang for dismissal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior students gathered all their belongings, as it was mandatory to take everything with them or it would be treated as trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most had already taken a lot of things home, only carrying some revision materials and mock exam papers at noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the school, Xia Qing was already waiting for him at the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qin Hao come out, she called out with a charming dimple on her face, \"Qin Hao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao smiled and nodded; she was carrying a small black backpack and looked strikingly charming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two walked side by side, looking like a couple and drawing envious glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From inside a nearby BMW, Du Wanrou saw this and glanced at the fancy gift box beside her, pouting slightly in dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, \"Mr. Lin, let's go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, Miss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking up the box, she looked at it curiously, \"What has he sent me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exquisite gift box was slowly opened, and upon seeing its contents, Du Wanrou's eyes widened and her cheeks instantly flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The box was quickly covered again, \"This jerk actually sent this? Shameless, lewd, why don't you drop dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt an urge to have Mr. Lin turn back and beat up Qin Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking a distance, Xia Qing suddenly remembered something, \"Oh, my parents asked me to buy a roasted duck, would you come with me since you're free?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao nodded, \"Yeah, sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his agreement, Xia Qing laughed, \"It's a newly opened roasted duck restaurant, their duck is really tasty, maybe you should buy one to try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao, noting the direction she was heading, wondered, she isn't talking about my place, is she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, as he suspected, Xia Qing led him right to Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The business was good today, and when they entered, they saw several people queuing to buy roasted ducks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them were residents from nearby neighborhoods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fatty and Yu Jie were busy at the counter, one slicing duck and weighing, the other collecting money and giving change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither noticed Qin Hao behind them, and soon it was Xia Qing's turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Youyi looked up then froze; not stunned by Xia Qing's beauty, but by the presence of Qin Hao behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jie, seeing Fatty silent, looked up curiously and then also froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing they might give him away, Qin Hao subtly signaled them with his eyes, indicating they should keep his identity secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing both of them freeze, Xia Qing looked puzzled, \"I'll have one roasted duck, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, right away,\" Fatty quickly took a duck and started to cut and weigh it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qing turned to Qin Hao behind her, \"Aren't you buying one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My parents aren't home today, I'll buy it later,\" Qin Hao responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, this roasted duck is really good, it's the best thing I've eaten,\" Xia Qing praised generously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao nodded. \"It smells really appetizing,\" he agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fatty and Yu Jie were speechless. How could you, the founder, not know whether it tastes good or not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The total comes to seventy-five,\" Kang Youyi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qing took out a hundred yuan and gave it to Yu Jie. After getting change, she and Qin Hao left the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qin Hao had left, Kang Youyi and Yu Jie exchanged looks, then shared a knowing glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the roasted duck restaurant, the two of them didn't talk much on the way because both were preoccupied with their own thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they neared the entrance of the residential area, they both simultaneously said, \"I have...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You go first,\" Xia Qing's cheeks were slightly red, though it wasn't obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao took off his backpack and pulled out a beautifully wrapped gift box from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had found the perfect excuse to give a gift: \"You were the first person to befriend me. We're about to graduate from the unified exam soon, and we might end up in different places. This is a gift I prepared for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, Xia Qing was very touched by his words and reached out to take the gift box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Qin Hao asked, \"What were you going to say just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qing's cheeks reddened further. She took a deep breath, looked Qin Hao in the eyes, and said earnestly, \"No matter which university you get into, my feelings for you won't change.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Xia Qing's cheeks were completely crimson, and she quickly turned and hurried away from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unified exam was imminent, and given Qin Hao's scores, it was unlikely that he and she, as well as Du Wanrou, would end up at the same university.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was afraid that if she didn't speak now, she would never get another chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao stood there, watching Xia Qing's retreating figure, his expression complex. He sighed deeply after a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qing's words were tantamount to a confession to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly knew about Qin Hao's past performance and was afraid they would end up in different places, never getting another chance to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao could tell she was serious, that even if he ended up in a lesser university, she wouldn't change her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had a huge impact on his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind involuntarily thought of Du Wanrou. If he really ended up in a lesser university, would she act like Xia Qing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he got into Jianghai University, whether Du Wanrou would fall for him remained an unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even he didn't know why he was so fond of Du Wanrou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he thought of Xia Qing, he was very conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, let it be up to fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the side mission and random task, awarding 1200 achievement points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao heard the system's message but could not feel happy as he walked home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once home, Qin Hao turned on his computer and logged onto the messaging software, but he didn't know what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, his messaging software pinged. When he opened it, he was surprised to see someone had sent him a friend request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the username, he was taken aback—wasn't that Du Wanrou's username?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he accepted, he cautiously sent a message: \"Is it the class president?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Du Wanrou did not reply. In the afternoon, he did a few test papers, and at five o'clock, he went out to buy a roasted duck and also checked on the roasted duck restaurant's business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could clearly see that the roasted duck restaurant's business was stronger day by day, with significantly more foot traffic than on the first day.\u003C\u002Fp>",1244,"2026-06-10T07:14:19.324Z",1,"novelbin.me","927a4264123a4b3875c4abafced28e3f5eaf9f02742e51be9f26300413c0ce67","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-41","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-39",1372,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-god-level-youth-cover.jpg"]
