“Mian Mian, what exactly is going on between you and Tan Xuzhe?”
After the crowd dispersed and Tan Xuzhe left, Shu Mian entered the dormitory building and saw Fang Yao and Xiang Sang. So she went upstairs with them.
As soon as they got back to the dorm, her two roommates pinned me against the door and started asking questions.
She tried to bluff her way out, blinking her big eyes, “What? What happened?”
“Don’t pretend.”
Fang Yao had an expression that seemed to see through everything. She nudged her shoulder and said, “We all saw it back then. You were with Tan Xuzhe.”
“There are so many people downstairs, how did you see us?” Shu Mian touched her nose.
Xiang Sang laughed, “You really don’t know how eye-catching you and Tan Xuzhe are standing together? One is handsome and the other is beautiful. If everyone wasn’t watching the confession today, the two of you would definitely be posted on the forum.”
Fang Yao teased, “Exactly, weren’t you supposed to be in a meeting? Turns out it was a date with Tan Xuzhe?”
“What date…” Shu Mian opened her eyes slightly and explained in a soft and obedient voice, “Don’t guess blindly, Tan Xuzhe also joined my club, and he walked me back to the dormitory after the meeting.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Yao immediately concluded, “Sending you back to your dorm? If he’s not interested in you, I’ll inexplicably lose ten pounds, and my breasts won’t drop either!”
“…”
“You… how come you’re taking food and money at the same time?”
Shu Mian couldn’t help but twitch her lips. “I’m going to take a shower now.”
She took her pajamas into the bathroom, and before turning on the shower, she couldn’t help but poke her cheek, the spot where Tan Xuzhe’s finger had just poked her earlier that day.
Ugh, so annoying.
I don’t want to like someone silently anymore, I don’t want to have a secret crush anymore… I want to talk to Xuzhe.
Shu Mian took a shower, dried her hair, and came out of the bathroom.
Song Yiyi had just returned from outside and complained as soon as she entered the door, “There are so many mosquitoes in the school garden. If I had known Fu Xingfan was going to pull this stunt tonight, I wouldn’t have taken a shower. It’s like I’m helping the mosquitoes wash vegetables.”
After confessing their feelings, she went to the school garden with Fu Xingfan.
Fang Yao deliberately said, “Wow, the mosquitoes at school are huge. Look at your neck, it’s covered in red welts from the mosquito bites.”
Shu Mian was sitting at the table applying skincare products when she heard this and subconsciously looked over.
There was indeed a noticeable red mark on Song Yiyi’s neck, which was clearly not a mosquito bite.
“Ugh, don’t look at me!”
Song Yiyi rubbed her neck and sat down in the chair, muttering to herself, “I’m really speechless. Is Fu Xingfan a potato? Not only is he unsophisticated, but he’s also ridiculous. I wanted a sense of ceremony, but I never expected him to pull this stunt.”
Fang Yao: “Come on, when he confessed his feelings downstairs, you seemed to be enjoying it.”
“Yeah, stop showing off your love.”
“…”
Song Yiyi changed the subject, “Sigh, I was blinded by love.”
“How so?”
“We got carried away kissing in the grove just now, and I actually promised Fu Xingfan that I wouldn’t look at any other handsome guys anymore.”
“…”
Fang Yao rolled her eyes. “Since you treat us like family, why don’t you tell us the details of your kiss?”
“Okay.” Song Yiyi said generously with a grin, “So it really is like men have GPS trackers on their hands when they kiss. I think in a while, I might need to go up a bra size…”
Shu Mian was too embarrassed to listen any longer and was about to climb into bed when she suddenly heard the conversation turn to her.
Fang Yao: “Yiyi, you weren’t here just now, so you didn’t know, but Tan Xuzhe specifically joined the club that Mian Mian is in, and he even walked her back to her dorm tonight…”
“Holy crap, really?”
Song Yiyi immediately looked over, “Mian Mian, Tan Xuzhe likes you, right?”
Shu Mian herself couldn’t figure it out, and said weakly, “I don’t know… I feel like he might be a little interested in me?”
Fang Yao insisted, “What do you mean ‘seems like’? I think he definitely likes you.”
“Why are you so sure?”
“It’s only natural to like you. Who wouldn’t like a sweet, soft, and lovely girl like you?”
Shu Mian smiled and said, “Which girl who confessed to Tan Xuzhe wasn’t outstanding and likable? But he still rejected her very decisively.”
After hearing this, the roommates were speechless; it was indeed the truth.
“Anyway, he treats you differently.” Song Yiyi glanced at her and asked, “What do you think?”
Shu Mian bit her lip. “I… I kind of like him.”
“Then let’s go!”
Song Yiyi reached out and pinched her cheek. “It doesn’t necessarily have to be the guy who takes the initiative… If you ask me, just confess. If it succeeds, you’re his girlfriend. And if it fails, you’re his forever unattainable ideal. It’s not a big deal.”
Shu Mian was completely bewildered, wondering what was going on.
“Yes, it’s nothing serious, except for the chest.” Fang Yao shrugged and laughed, “A girl like Mian Mian, who is a bit slow to warm up and introverted, wouldn’t be able to handle what you’re talking about.”
Shu Mian nodded repeatedly.
She had had a crush on Tan Xuzhe for a long time, and even though she sensed that he was somewhat interested in her, she didn’t dare to confess her feelings rashly.
Unless she was absolutely certain that his intentions were completely genuine and there was no risk of failure.
Otherwise, if someone like Tan Xuzhe rejects a girl without giving her any hope, they won’t even be able to remain friends.
“I think it’s better for us to remain still if the enemy doesn’t move.”
Fang Yao analyzed carefully, “If the enemy makes a move, you should secretly retaliate.”
Shu Mian listened in a daze, she seemed to be basically telling her to observe Tan Xuzhe’s reaction first.
The three roommates had to take turns showering, so the topic was dropped.
Just as Shu Mian got into bed, Fang Yao and Xiang Sang suddenly sighed at the same time.
“What’s wrong with you two?”
Fang Yao: “I suddenly find it so funny that I, a lifelong single, have become a strategist.”
Xiang Sang: “I feel like… everyone is troubled by love, while I’m more tired than a dog all day long.”
Hahahaha.
At that moment, Shu Mian’s phone vibrated; it was a new notification from WeChat.
The enemy had made a move.
Tan Xuzhe: [Are you asleep?]
