They were so close; the boy’s warm breath gently brushed against her cheek, and Shu Mian’s heart began to race uncontrollably.
Why…why does Tan Xuzhe suddenly love teasing her so much?
Especially the phrase “rumored girlfriend” with its drawn-out ending, which inexplicably carried a flirtatious connotation.
Shu Mian could easily imagine how red her face was right now, and she didn’t dare to look him in the eye. So she just said in a low, soft voice, “I’m going to the restroom.”
After saying that, she turned around quickly and fled into the bathroom.
She didn’t actually want to go to the toilet, so she just sat on the toilet blankly for a while.
Why.
Why am I running? He was just teasing me by calling me his rumored girlfriend. Why am I so flustered?
I should have pinned him against the wall, grabbed his chin, given him a wicked smile, and said domineeringly: What? Man, do you want to confirm this rumor?
Wow, how corny.
Shu Mian was amused by the corny joke that popped into her head, then she calmed down and walked outside.
Unexpectedly, Tan Xuzhe hadn’t returned to the private room yet. He was leaning lazily against the wall. When he saw her come out, he lifted his eyelids and looked over.
Shu Mian remained relatively calm. “Tan Xuzhe, why are you still here?”
“Of course…” Tan Xuzhe raised an eyebrow and said slowly in his usual lazy tone, “Let’s see if she’ll send me a picture of my girlfriend after the rumored girlfriend comes out.”
Is this rumored girlfriend no longer going to be…? And what’s with all this nonsense? Where is she supposed to find him a girlfriend?
Not knowing how to respond, she could only blush and say, “I’ll go in first.”
Tan Xuzhe followed behind her with his hands in his pockets and a lazy posture.
When they reached the door of the private room, Shu Mian, for reasons she didn’t know, turned to him and said, “Why don’t you go in first, and I’ll come in later?”
Upon hearing this, Tan Xuzhe looked at her with a half-smile in his captivating peach blossom eyes, his tone carrying a hint of flirtation, “Shu Mian, do we have some kind of shady relationship?”
“…”
Sure enough, she shouldn’t have said that one sentence for no reason.
Can it be withdrawn?
Help! How should she respond to that? She absolutely could not let him tease her and then pathetically run away again.
“No.” Shu Mian blinked, mustered her courage to meet his gaze, and said softly, “Could it be… that you want us to?”
Perhaps not expecting her to ask a question in return, Tan Xuzhe paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes, and said in a slightly wicked tone, “What if I said… I hope?”
“…”
Shu Mian realized she was no match for him. She finally mustered up the courage to scratch him with her claws, but he easily pinned her claws down and even pinched her paw pads.
Does he treat other girls like this too?
He was clearly the kind of unattainable beauty who would simply and directly reject a confession, and who was even difficult to add on WeChat.
He was definitely number one on the Kyoto University must-eat list, and such that he was the hardest to beat to number one.
Seeing the girl’s slightly embarrassed and annoyed expression, along with her flushed cheeks, and her preoccupied look, Tan Xuzhe thought he had gone too far in teasing her.
So he chuckled softly, “Just kidding.”
“Um?”
Shu Mian absentmindedly uttered a syllable, when suddenly the door to the private room was opened from the inside.
Song Yiyi peeked out, her gaze sweeping over the two of them several times. Something seemed to have tickled her funny bone, and an uncontrollable smile spread across her lips.
She thus winked and said in a suggestive tone, “The two of you are alone outside…”
Fearing that her ever-rising tongue might utter something terrifying, Shu Mian instinctively covered her mouth.
Realizing her action was a bit silly, she quickly let go and explained, “It was just… a coincidence.”
“Really?” Song Yiyi raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “You two are quite destined to meet, going to different restrooms one after the other and still managing to bump into each other.”
Shu Mian didn’t respond for a moment, but she heard the person next to her say lazily, “It really is quite a coincidence.”
She subconsciously looked at Tan Xuzhe, only to meet his deep eyes.
The boy’s lips curled slightly, and he raised his chin slightly towards her. “What do you think?”
“…Yes, I guess so,” she mumbled, feeling her heartbeat controlled by his beautiful peach blossom eyes as he stared at her.
Song Yiyi stopped joking and said, “Come in quickly, we’ll cut the cake in a bit.”
Everyone had classes tomorrow, Monday, and since it was the first time the two dorms were eating together, they were not familiar with each other yet and thus not very relaxed, so they didn’t drink.
The event thus ended relatively early. The boys had two cars: one belonging to Tan Xuzhe and one to Ye Feng.
Fang Yao came by electric bike and would have to ride it back, leaving seven people.
Ye Feng handed the car keys to Fu Xingfan, saying, “You have a driver’s license, right? You and your girlfriend can drive my car, and the rest of us can ride in Brother Ze’s car.”
“Thanks, bro.” Fu Xingfan took the keys with a grin.
Song Yiyi didn’t hesitate, “Okay, then I’ll leave my Mian Mian and Sang Sang to you.”
Tan Xuzhe’s car was a black Cullinan, which happened to be a five-seater version.
He drove the car from the parking lot.
“Ze-ge, you drive, Ji-ge, sit in the passenger seat.” Ye Feng paused, “Shu Mian… and Xiang Sang, I’ll sit in the back with you.”
At this moment, Tan Xuzhe got out of the driver’s seat, casually twirling the key between his fingers, and said lazily, “Ye Feng, A Ji, you two decide who drives. I’ll sit in the back.”
“Huh?” Ye Feng was taken aback.
Having grown up together, Cheng Ji knew his brother inside and out, and understood that he was smitten.
He thus opened the passenger door and put his arm around Ye Feng’s shoulder. “I’ll drive, A Feng, you sit in the passenger seat.”
