3503 What Are You Hiding?
“Spill the beans!” said Ren Linna, “We already guessed it. You must be talking about Han Zhuofeng last night..”
Feng Yaqing squeezed her cheeks in a weird way.
She was squeezing them so hard that her cheeks were changing shape. Kuang Xiaorou put her hands down and complained, “Can you not do that? How it looks is less of a worry; more importantly, you’re going to create more wrinkles.”
The moment Feng Yaqing heard that there would be more wrinkles, she immediately put her hands down.
!!
After Kuang Xiaorou reprimanded Feng Yaqing, she put all her attention on Xie Jiling.
“Have you confessed to Han Zhuofeng?” asked Kuang Xiaorou.
“It can’t be that fast.” Feng Yaqing took out her phone and looked at the time they chatted last night.
“Jiling talked to us late at night yesterday. She definitely won’t confess at midnight, right? According to her school schedule, she should have left pretty early,” said Feng Yaqing.
“It’s not good to confess in such a rush,” said Feng Yaqing.
“Indeed.” Ren Linna thought about it for a moment and said, “Han Zhuofeng returned to the production crew, right? Then, isn’t there no way to confess recently?”
“You guys…” Xie Jiling thought about why they were so certain that she was the one who confessed first.
However, before she could say anything, she kept it in.
Her gaze darted around in guilt so much that her eyeb.a.l.l.s looked like they would flip over.
She was silently trying to brainwash herself, telling herself that she was invisible and they could not see her.
The three of them knew Xie Jiling too well.
Seeing Xie Jiling’s reaction, they instantly knew that something was wrong.
“What are you hiding?” Feng Yaqing squinted her eyes and stared at Xie Jiling.
“Be honest!” said Kuang Xiaorou.
“It’s just… I’m already together with him,” Xie Jiling, who did not know how to lie, said honestly, “But he confessed first!”
“I asked you guys last night to confirm my feelings because I didn’t know if I really liked him,” said Xie Jiling, “But after listening to you guys, I became certain.”
“So, I accepted him.”
“Wow, you guys are quick,” Ren Linna was so in awe that she could not close her mouth.
“As he had to go to the production crew today, he woke up at four in the morning. I was asleep, so I couldn’t tell him face-to-face,” said Xie Jiling.
“Besides, I’m too shy to say it face-to-face as well.”
“So I sent him a WeChat message at midnight. When he woke up in the morning, he saw it,” said Xie Jiling, embarra.s.sed.
“Oh my G.o.d! Little Jiling is the fastest among us!” Kuang Xiaorou’s expression was blank.
Feng Yaqing said with great difficulty, “We have so much experience in terms of theory, but where’s the chance to put it into practice?”
“Jiling got together with her boyfriend in the latter’s own house at that. You’re too impressive,” said Ren Linna.
“So the Han Family’s Matriarch even gave you a big box of snacks to bring back?” asked Kuang Xiaorou.
Xie Jiling nodded like a well-behaved baby.
“How did you come back with such a huge box?” asked Feng Yaqing.
“Grandma asked the chauffeur to send me back,” said Xie Jiling.
When she thought about it, she complained to her dorm mates. “Grandma even specially instructed Brother Xiao Liang, the chauffeur, to help me bring this box to the lobby of the dormitory. It was inappropriate for him to enter the female dormitory.”
“However, on our way here, the gazes of the other students were strange.” She noticed it, too.
She noticed it, but she was too lazy to make a fuss.
Those gazes would not affect her anyway.
Besides, there was nothing bad about Brother Xiao Liang, so it was not embarra.s.sing to walk with him.
She had nothing to fuss about.
She just felt that the gazes were too hurtful and rude.
“Don’t pay them any attention,” said Ren Linna angrily, “Those people are boring and sn.o.bbish.”
“They think that they are prodigies just because they managed to enroll at B University, so they look down on other students who aren’t from B University. They also think that once the students of B University graduate, they will become the top figures in the society. They think that they will have positions with a high salary waiting for them once they graduate. They look down on everything.”
“I want to see what they will become in the future. Even after graduating, I will keep an eye on them and watch their development. I will see how impressive they are in work or if they even found the beautiful, rich partners of their dreams.”
“Yeah, I will keep an eye, too,” said Kuang Xiaorou, “They think they’re hotshots. The way they look at others is so creepy.”
Xie Jiling looked at her phone and said, “We need to go to cla.s.s. It’s almost time.”
They still needed some time to head to cla.s.s.
Then, the four quickly went downstairs and rode their bikes toward the academic building.
There was no other choice. The school was too big, and the cla.s.sroom was too far.
They could have walked, but they were in a rush.
They hurriedly rode their bicycles. There was no time to chat on the way.
They arrived right before the cla.s.s started.
The cla.s.s ended at noon.
Rather than returning to the dormitory, they went to the canteen straight away.
Xie Jiling and the others lined up in front of the window.
They had nothing to do and were bored, so they looked around.
Ren Linna saw that there were a few windows where the guys were lining up for their girlfriends, so she couldn’t help but express her thoughts. “Jiling is not single anymore, but Han Zhuofeng is working. Even though she’s in a relations.h.i.+p, she doesn’t have a boyfriend to help her line up.”
Kuang Xiaorou said, “That’s true…”
Feng Yaqing responded, “That’s good. At least Jiling won’t be able to show off in front of us. Our single life in the school will not be affected as well. We can still go to cla.s.s and eat together. The three of us won’t be left out just because Jiling is already in a relations.h.i.+p.”
“That’s true.” Ren Linna agreed. “Jiling’s love life is so suitable for us.”
Xie Jiling was speechless.
The four of them bought their lunch and found an empty table to sit down at.
Xie Jiling was just about to eat when she received a phone call from Han Zhuofeng.
This time, when she saw Han Zhuofeng’s name appear on her phone, Xie Jiling could not be calm like she was in the past.
She looked at her phone anxiously.
This was their first time talking after they confessed to each other.
This was completely different from texting on WeChat.
Xie Jiling even felt that it was more nerve-wracking than talking face-to-face.
“Why don’t you pick it up?” Kuang Xiaorou leaned over and took a glance. When she saw that it was from Han Zhuofeng, she immediately laughed.
“We… we only texted using WeChat today. I’m a little nervous to be on a phone call with him,” said Xie Jiling anxiously.
“That’s your boyfriend. You have to pick up even if you’re nervous.” Kuang Xiaorou was quick; she extended her arm and helped Xie Jiling press the answer b.u.t.ton.
That way, even if Xie Jiling wanted to dilly-dally, she couldn’t afford to do so.
Han Zhuofeng’s voice came from Xie Jiling’s phone next. “Jiling?”
