Shu Mian took her phone, unlocked it, and her fingertips trembled as she clicked on the link to the post Song Yiyi had sent in the group chat.
#Shocking revelation! Tan Xuzhe is suspected of having a girlfriend#
OP: As everyone knows, half a month after the start of the semester, Tan Xuzhe topped the list of must-eat foods at Peking University, but no one has managed to win over this handsome guy yet!
But tonight I saw him riding a motorcycle with a girl at the school gate! He was smiling so seductively, his eyes were practically drooling. Even if she wasn’t his girlfriend, she was probably someone he was flirting with!
I took a picture with my phone, but he seemed to notice, and my hand shook, so the picture is a bit blurry, but it’s enough to prove the image/picture.
Shu Mian was full of questions after reading it. So this so-called “girlfriend” was referring to her?
That smile is so alluring, those eyes are so captivating… Tan Xuzhe’s peach blossom eyes would have the same effect even when he smiles at a dog…
But the comments section was buzzing.
[If you see this, please let me go study: It’s not about big socks. Not only is the picture blurry, but the woman is also wearing a helmet. Besides her figure, you can’t tell anything else about her.]
[You’re stepping on my leg hair: Although the picture is quite blurry, doesn’t anyone think it has a certain idol drama vibe?]
[Taking all sorts of things will only make me nutritionally balanced: I agree with the comment above, forget about it, I’ll just start taking them as a sign of respect.]
[My childhood sweetheart in advanced mathematics: I was there at the time and can attest to the fact that this really happened, but I didn’t dare to take a picture that was too obvious / Image]
….
As Shu Mian scrolled through the comments, she heard Song Yiyi ask excitedly, “Do you guys think this is really Tan Xuzhe’s girlfriend?”
“…”
“No,” she answered firmly.
Her roommates all looked at her. “How did you know?”
Shu Mian blinked. “The girl in the picture is me… Even though her face isn’t clearly visible, don’t you guys think the clothes look familiar?”
Song Yiyi took a closer look and exclaimed, “Holy crap, you really wore this outfit today!”
“Tell me the truth right now, why would Tan Xuzhe ride a motorcycle to take you back to school?”
“You two know each other?”
“What’s your relationship with him? I’ve never heard you mention it before?”
Her three roommates surrounded her, as if they were conducting a joint trial.
Shu Mian explained obediently, “We went to the same high school, so we’re alumni…”
She then recounted how she had gone to Tan Xuzhe’s house to walk his dog that day, but of course, she omitted the part about pulling open his shirt and touching his chest muscles.
Song Yiyi couldn’t help but raise her voice, “It’s been half a month, how come you’ve never mentioned it? If I were a high school classmate of a handsome guy like him, I would have bragged about it hundreds of times already!”
“There were so many people in the school, we were not in the same class, and we’ve barely spoken a few words to each other, so I didn’t mention it.”
“Wait a moment.”
Fang Yao said, “You two weren’t even in the same class, so you shouldn’t have had any interaction, right? You’re completely unfamiliar with each other. Why would he be so kind as to specially bring you back?”
Shu Mian thought for a moment, then cupped her face in her hands and looked at them. “It’s not like we’ve never crossed paths… My friend and his friend dated for a while, does that count?”
Shen Jiayue and Cheng Ji dated for a while during the second semester of their junior year of high school. They were in different classes, and since the head teacher liked to crack down on early relationships, they would secretly go to some corner of the school to be affectionate.
Around that time, Tan Xuzhe was in a bad state, and he often didn’t go to school.
Therefore, the interactions between Shu Mian and Tan Xuzhe did not become more frequent just because Shen Jiayue and Cheng Ji were dating.
“So back then, Tan Xuzhe was your friend’s boyfriend’s friend?”
Fang Yao pondered for a while, “Looking at it this way, the relationship is indeed quite complicated. When two people are dating, they wouldn’t each bring a third wheel.”
Song Yiyi exclaimed, “Doesn’t that further prove that Tan Xuzhe has feelings for you? Otherwise, someone who’s so hard to add on WeChat would offer to take you back, especially on a motorcycle. Wouldn’t you be clinging to his waist? Just thinking about it makes it seem so ambiguous.”
“…”
Shu Mian couldn’t help but think of the feeling of her heart racing when she sat on the back of Tan Xuzhe’s motorcycle, her hand on his waist.
She told her roommate, and also to remind herself, “He’s just a nice person. He was worried about my safety as a girl alone in the dark. He would have taken anyone else home too.”
“With such a great opportunity, didn’t you ask him for his WeChat?”
Shu Mian bit her lip. “I don’t dare… I’m afraid he’ll say— what will I use if I give it to you?”
“Hahaha… So he must have been very popular in high school, right? All the girls in school must have liked him, did you like him?”
Shen Jiayue once said in high school that at least 90% of the girls at No. 4 High School liked Tan Xuzhe, either openly or secretly.
Shu Mian lowered her long eyelashes, concealing her emotions, and tried to make her tone sound as light as possible, “Who doesn’t like a handsome guy?”
There were so many people who liked him, like stars surrounding the moon, she was not a particularly dazzling one.
Her crush was nothing, insignificant and not worth mentioning.
Song Yiyi, a fan of handsome men, agreed, “That’s true… But you two are so lucky to have such a connection. You were high school classmates and went to the same university. You even got to walk his dog when you took a job walking his dog. Why don’t you try to take him on? I have a feeling you can handle him.”
Me?
Shu Mian pointed blankly at herself, then shook her head instinctively, “How could that be? How could he like me…”
“Why not?” Fang Yao looked at her. “You’re pretty and cute, have a good personality, can draw, and can earn money on your own… In short, you’re excellent, more than enough to be with anyone.”
Xiang Sang: “I’m not good at praising people, but I think Yao Yao is right.”
“That’s right!” Song Yiyi took her hand. “Mian Mian, I’m giving you all the love you deserve!”
Shu Mian was touched by her roommates’ kindness, “Waaaaah, you guys are really my little fairies.”
Lights out was approaching, and everyone went to bed.
Shu Mian leaned against the headboard, picked up her phone, opened the forum, and discovered that the post had been deleted.
