Not long after Bai Rourou left, a beautiful woman with delicate features and a tall figure pushed the door open and entered.
“Xue Xue, long time no see!”
Cai Jinger looked around, then frowned.
“Let’s live off campus. Living at school is inconvenient, not to mention having roommates. Who knows if the roommate is a normal person?”
“Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking?”
Gong Nanxue rolled her eyes, annoyed.
“Even if I move out, I wouldn’t live with you.”
“Ah~ Xue Xue, how can you be like this? It hurts my heart.”
Cai Jinger pouted.
She had pursued her openly and secretly for two years, but this iron woman just wouldn’t agree.
Counting the time spent secretly liking her, it’s been five years altogether.
She even gave up 211 University when choosing her major for Xue Xue, and came to A City to attend a public undergraduate school, just next to Xue Xue’s university.
“Just give up. I won’t like girls.”
Gong Nanxue reached out to smooth her hair, her fair neck faintly visible, making Cai Jinger’s mouth go dry.
“But you don’t like boys either. Why can’t you give it a try with me!”
“I don’t like anyone. Can’t I?”
The same answer again, making Cai Jinger speechless.
She opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by Gong Nanxue.
“If you keep talking, we can’t even be friends.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that they’d played together since childhood, Gong Nanxue wouldn’t let a pure bent girl be her friend—especially one who confesses small feelings every three days and big ones every five.
“Fine.”
Cai Jinger nodded helplessly, then looked at Bai Rourou’s bed.
“Your dorm already has someone?”
“Yeah, a girl who looks soft and weak, but is strangely enthusiastic.”
“Be careful!”
Cai Jinger couldn’t help but speak.
“Be careful your roommate doesn’t attack you at night.”
“No way?”
“How could it be impossible.”
Cai Jinger started counting on her fingers.
“In junior high, two girls confessed to you. In first year of high school, three more. Second and third year combined, seven. And that’s not even counting anonymous love letters.”
“Not to mention all the ones secretly crushing on you. The numbers are endless!”
Gong Nanxue was stunned.
“Weren’t there guys among them too?”
“Only two guys in total, okay!”
Cai Jinger deeply understood Gong Nanxue’s charm.
Not to mention her overpowering combat skills—just her cool looks and dominant personality made her more attractive to girls than guys.
Especially now, things are more open, and the number of same-sex couples is increasing at a scary rate—though most are bi…
The pressure was too much for her.
Even though Gong Nanxue never agreed, she’d already seen herself as Gong Nanxue’s partner, convinced that one day she could turn this steel straight girl and finally be together.
“I don’t believe I can’t turn her.”
Cai Jinger steeled herself inside.
She didn’t have much time in junior high and high school because of studies, but now that she’s in university with so much free time, surely she can make it happen.
“If you don’t like boys and know I like you but still keep me around, there’s definitely a chance.”
Meanwhile, Gong Nanxue looked helplessly at Cai Jinger, who was spacing out again beside her.
Why won’t this girl give up?
She truly had no interest in love between men or women.
Compared to that, she preferred parachuting, racing, and other extreme sports that brought excitement.
“You just got to school. Instead of exploring the campus, why are you running over here?”
Gong Nanxue gave her the boot.
“Go back. I still have to organize the dorm.”
Cai Jinger wanted to say more, but was driven out by Gong Nanxue.
“It seems only Bai Rourou and I are listed on the dorm form.”
Dorms are for four people.
If it’s just the two of them, Gong Nanxue thought living on campus was pretty nice.
After all, Bai Rourou looked weak and poor but was very tidy.
“It’s all Dad’s fault for secretly changing my major. Otherwise, I’d be in the same program as Xue Xue. Then I could ask Uncle to arrange for us to be in the same class and dorm!”
Cai Jinger grumbled inside, blaming her dad a bit, but also knowing if he really wanted to go overboard, he could have switched her to 211 University, so there was no need to stay in A City.
In the end, he still cared for her and wanted to look after her.
“Stupid bird, stupid bird, anyway, it’s close by. Riding an e-bike only takes a few minutes. I’ll have Uncle get me a campus e-bike permit.”
Though reality was far from her fantasies of sneaking into Xue Xue’s bed at night, as long as she was free she could come over and hang out.
“Speaking of which, Xue Xue’s dad almost sent her abroad.”
Cai Jinger’s face turned worried.
Xue Xue’s father was very powerful.
Compared to her family, there was no competition in politics or business.
“Ah, how did I forget about this!”
Cai Jinger looked frustrated.
She’d hurried over intending to ask Xue Xue if her amazing father had given her a finance company to manage, but ended up forgetting.
Her dad had told her about it, too.
If it was true, her dad said he was willing to invest a sum for cooperation.
“If I can help Xue Xue shine, maybe the Gong Family will value her, and if Xue Xue’s happy, she might agree to be my girlfriend!”
Cai Jinger thought optimistically, her steps becoming light and cheerful.
[Should I bring you food? The Second Canteen’s fried rice is delicious!]
A message from Bai Rourou popped up on her phone.
Gong Nanxue thought for a moment, then typed ‘okay’.
Having just made her bed, she was a little hungry.
Before long, she saw Bai Rourou push the door open, sweating, carrying two servings of fried rice.
“Xue Xue, do you like spicy or not spicy?”
Gong Nanxue paused, then frowned.
“Just call me by my name. Any flavor is fine.”
They’d just met.
She didn’t like people calling her so intimately.
Bai Rourou’s heart skipped.
She didn’t expect just the way she addressed her would hit a nerve.
“Then, Gong Nanxue, you choose first. I can eat anything.”
“Then I’ll take the spicy one.”
Gong Nanxue felt she could handle spicy food, and the fried rice with chili didn’t look that red, so she picked the spicy one.
But after taking a bite, she realized she was wrong—it was way too spicy!
She grabbed her cup and drank several gulps.
Her stomach felt like it was on fire, and she couldn’t eat anymore.
“Gong Nanxue, should we swap? I haven’t touched mine yet.”
The girl kindly took out a box of milk and handed it to Gong Nanxue.
“Here, drink some milk. It’ll help.”
“Thanks.”
Gong Nanxue, suffering from the spice, didn’t hold back and drank several sips.
“You eat this one, then.”
Bai Rourou swapped the fried rice and returned to her seat.
She took a bite and was immediately stunned.
How could it be so spicy!
She suspected the cook used the wrong chili.
Is this even edible?
But since she bought it, she had to eat it—even if she had to keep a straight face so Gong Nanxue wouldn’t get suspicious.
After all, she didn’t eat spicy food, nor did she ask if the other person did.
Wouldn’t buying a super spicy fried rice be suspicious?
So, the poor Rourou forced herself to eat a super spicy fried rice, enduring the pain without showing it.
Meanwhile, Gong Nanxue felt her roommate was truly a thoughtful and kind person.
But because she’d often been chased by girls, she subconsciously had a thought—
Did Bai Rourou like her?
“I’m too narcissistic. It’s only the first day.”
Gong Nanxue shook her head hard, trying to shake off the strange thoughts in her mind.
