Graduation season, marriage season.
College graduation is different from other graduations; it’s the finish line for many people’s love marathon.
Of course, it’s also the breakup season for a minority.
And a select few choose to confess to their long-time crush at the graduation party.
Then there’s a 70% chance of getting the “You’re a good person” reward, and a 0.000001% chance of hitting the hidden jackpot of “Then let’s be together.”
Watching the young couple in front of her who had decided to break up and go their separate ways, Song Qiuyu narrowed her eyes, took the small cake she had bought, and walked back to the rental apartment.
“I’m back!”
She opened the door, and the room was empty.
Yes, Jiang Xiao wasn’t home now; not only was he not home, he wasn’t even in South Wind City. Two months ago, he had left for White Climb City to film a movie.
However, this kind of long-distance relationship wasn’t their first time. Over the past three years, either she had left or Jiang Xiao had left. If they were lucky, they went together.
But at least their long-distance relationship was intermittent.
Ha Ji Xie and Jiang Li were different.
Two years ago, Jiang Li went abroad for further studies, and the distance between them went from a few cities to a whole Pacific Ocean.
Then looking at Lin An and Xia Qi, it was even more understandable.
Lin An’s father had successfully started a business with friends a year ago and became the boss of a listed group.
Therefore, Lin An had been busy this past year, having to film to gain experience and also go home to be the general manager and help with family affairs.
Naturally, Xia Qi was busy too. The number of times this couple met was visibly decreasing.
But the results of their efforts were gratifying; their family’s company had now squeezed into the top 500 in the country.
All in all, their dormitory really had a rich guy now.
As for Sang Tian and Jiang Yu, miraculously, there was no progress.
Three years had passed, and Sang Tian still treated Jiang Yu like her friend’s younger brother, not realizing Jiang Yu’s covetousness toward her.
“Could it be that all of us were wrong? Maybe Jiang Yu doesn’t have romantic feelings for Sang Tian, otherwise why wouldn’t he take the initiative?”
Sitting on the sofa, Song Qiuyu recalled Jiang Yu’s behavior over the past three years and quickly dismissed her own thought.
This kid could fool others, but not her. He looked like a harmless little milk dog, but was actually a cunning little wolf dog!
As for Sang Tian, if she continued to be so defenseless, she might become Jiang Yu’s coming-of-age gift.
These Jiang family members—each one more scheming than the last.
Thinking this, she collected herself, put on a smile, opened the small cake packaging, picked up her phone, and prepared to take a photo to send to Jiang Xiao to make him jealous.
With a beep, Jiang Xiao actually called her on video faster.
Seeing this, she was stunned for two seconds, then quickly rushed to the bathroom mirror to fix her appearance, then came back, sat on the sofa, and pressed answer.
The video call connected. Jiang Xiao looked at her gradually clear appearance on the screen, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Thinking that she had taken so long to answer, he couldn’t help but tease her.
“Why did it take so long to answer? Could it be that you’re hiding something you don’t want me to see?”
After he said this, the girl on the call lowered her eyes, her gaze flickering twice as if she was a bit guilty.
A moment later, she looked up, glanced around his surroundings, and then said seriously, “You’re right. I really do have something that absolutely cannot be discovered by you!”
“What is it?”
Jiang Xiao still looked at her with a smile.
“It’s not a thing…”
Song Qiuyu had originally planned to say directly that she had bought a small cake to sneak a bite while he wasn’t around, but when she saw him dressed in all white, looking like a graceful gentleman, she suddenly felt a bit jealous.
She could imagine with her toes that during the filming process, many girls would be hovering around him.
But this movie was a Gu Long film; although it was an important role, there weren’t many intimate scenes between male and female characters.
At most, he would suffer a fate like Jiao Enjun’s in The Little Li Flying Dagger.
So she looked away and deliberately said, “To be precise, it’s a matter!”
“What matter?”
Jiang Xiao pondered.
“Jiang Xiao, I’ve become a ghost!”
Song Qiuyu narrowed her eyes.
“Wow, that’s quite a life. Should I change my name to Jiang Caichen?”
Jiang Xiao held back a laugh.
“No, no, no, not a female ghost—I’m cheating!”
Song Qiuyu frowned.
“Cheating?”
Jiang Xiao was stunned, feeling that those two words were too foreign, not something that should come out of his Xi’er’s mouth.
He just thought she was joking.
“Yeah, because you’re never by my side and don’t keep me company, I found a delicious small cake to keep me company!”
Song Qiuyu said with a serious expression. “The small cake will take your place and always be with me.”
A delicious small cake…
Jiang Xiao pondered.
Then, Song Qiuyu freed one little hand, adjusted the camera angle, picked up the cake from a blind spot, brought it close, and kissed it. She licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, licking off some cream in time.
“Baby, baby, you are a delicious small cake. My inner emptiness is all filled by you~”
“Xi’er…”
Jiang Xiao said in a deep voice.
“Then, are you going to break up with me for the small cake?”
“That won’t happen. I’m a greedy person. How about this: from now on, Jiang Xiao sleeps on the left, the small cake sleeps on the right, and I sleep in the middle?”
Seeing that Jiang Xiao seemed to have taken the bait, Song Qiuyu picked up the cake fork, stabbed it into the cake, ready to stop teasing him and start eating.
But Jiang Xiao seemed unexpectedly serious.
He frowned and said, “No, Xi’er, in this house, it’s either me or the small cake. You have to choose one of us!”
“In that case, I’ll have to choose the small cake.”
Song Qiuyu sighed deeply.
“Xi’er, do you have to do this?”
Jiang Xiao’s voice dropped.
“There’s no other way, Jiang Xiao. You’re not here with me, so I have to find someone else.”
Song Qiuyu sighed again, her tone heavy.
Jiang Xiao wanted to say something more, but then he saw the picture blur.
She actually took the cake fork, separated a small piece from the fruit small cake, extended her small tongue, and rolled that piece in.
“The small cake is really sweet. One more bite~”
She ate another small piece, squinting her eyes in happiness, and stamped her feet.
“…”
Jiang Xiao smiled helplessly and subconsciously reached out to tap the girlfriend on the phone screen. “So, this is my love rival?”
“Mm!”
Song Qiuyu said confidently.
With that, she separated another small piece, brought it close to the phone camera, and said seductively, “Want to eat? Hehe, but Jiang Xiao can’t eat it, can’t eat it~”
Jiang Xiao looked at her even more helplessly.
After a while, he raised an eyebrow casually and said with a light laugh, “You’re right. I can’t eat it for now. But although I can’t be with you right now, I can call someone to keep you company.”
Just then, at the entrance, there was a ding-dong sound as someone rang the doorbell.
