“Qin Heartthrob, wait up!”
Accompanied by two somewhat hurried footsteps, a clear female voice rang out from behind them, interrupting Lin Xinyuan just as he was about to speak.
The two turned around and saw that it was two girls walking quickly toward them.
The one in front was quite attractive, dressed exquisitely, exuding a charming allure. The girl behind her was relatively plain-looking but still pleasantly delicate.
“Hello, what’s the matter?”
When the two girls reached them, Qin Nanfeng spoke, though he already had a faint idea…
Come to think of it, he hadn’t had a girlfriend to fool around with for a whole month. With that thought, he casually glanced at Lin Xinyuan. Ever since that guy started impersonating “her,”
he had wondered why “she” had been refusing all his attempts to meet up ever since that incident…
Now that he knew the truth, his interest in this sort of ‘game’ had somewhat waned.
At least for the moment, he had no interest; maybe he’d consider resuming later…
Lin Xinyuan, standing beside him, was suddenly caught off guard by the yellow-haired guy’s glance, which held an inexplicable expression that left him puzzled. But clearly, now wasn’t the right time—
There were still two people around after all…
But the pretty girl’s words sparked some curiosity in him.
Oh? Qin Heartthrob? What’s that supposed to be? Never heard of it. Probably one of those unofficial titles, right?
He didn’t know how these “Campus Heartthrob” and “Campus Belle” titles were decided anyway. He just found it funny—probably something some novelist dreamed up after getting drunk.
If he were to vote, he’d give Laoda the Campus Heartthrob, and Raiden Shogun would get the Campus Belle…
Just as Lin Xinyuan found himself suppressing a smile, the pretty girl spoke: “Qin Heartthrob, I have something to discuss. Can we find a quieter place to talk? It’s not very convenient here.”
She struck a delicate, pitiful pose, looking embarrassed as she glanced around.
Sure enough, there were quite a few people now watching them, some even stopping to join the gathering. Soon, a circle was beginning to form.
Well, gossiping really is human nature!
It was also because Qin Nanfeng had a considerable reputation at school—known as a ladies’ man among the guys. The girls, however, were different; though they’d complain, each secretly vied to be his ideal partner…
Qin Nanfeng understood what the girl meant but didn’t refuse. Although currently uninterested, he was curious about what she wanted to say.
“All right, let’s go.” He nodded casually, ready to leave with her to find a place to talk.
Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly recalled something and turned to meet Lin Xinyuan’s pitiful expression.
“Hey, sorry! I almost forgot about you. Why don’t you go grab something to eat first? Or you can wait; it won’t take long.”
Though the yellow-haired guy apologized, his face was grinning. Lin Xinyuan was somewhat displeased.
Seriously! Getting a girl and then ditching your friend! No surprise from Yellow Hair—always chasing after women, forgetting friends like a shameless dog!
His pitiful look only made him seem like a scorned woman…
But come to think of it, Yellow Hair hadn’t been with a girl for a month, right? That was rare!
Maybe ever since he turned into Lin Xinyuan’s “Xinyuan” that time, this counted as half a success…
Maybe if he persisted, he’d really make it…
Tsk…
Why think so much! He could barely take care of himself because of that mess…
And now the truth was out…
Sigh…
“All right, I’ll just go eat by myself!” Lin Xinyuan said, turning away without waiting for a reply.
What a joke! Wait for that guy? Impossible!
Qin Nanfeng watched the carefree retreating figure and chuckled quietly, thinking the guy’s expression just now looked like someone watching their scumbag ex…
Well, he himself fit the scumbag role pretty well…
With that in mind, he turned back and gave the girl a ‘gentle’ smile.
Seeing Qin Nanfeng’s smile, the girl’s eyes sparkled, and her cheeks flushed.
“Let’s go to the Pavilion. It’s quieter there, and the view is nice too…” Qin Nanfeng’s thin lips moved, his handsome features, tall and upright stature, and fashionable outfit complemented by his long legs stepping forward first.
“Okay…” The pretty girl was even more moved. Though she pretended to be reserved, inwardly she was thinking:
This Qin Heartthrob not only looks exceptional but is romantic too…
Ahhh! Didn’t he say it? Find a place with a good view…
Much better than her dull-witted boyfriend! Though giving him a chance was already a blessing, right?
She was destined to be Qin Madam’s woman in the future!
Not only that, but it was also quite prestigious!
Look at those people…
She glanced secretly at the surrounding crowd; many girls looked jealous.
Thinking of this, she felt delighted, almost squinting her eyes from the pleasure—it was intoxicating…
The two walked one ahead, one behind, each harboring different thoughts, heading in the same direction…
Unbeknownst to them, a forgotten person was quietly recording everything on her phone, secretly following from a distance.
It was the delicate-looking girl who had come with the pretty girl earlier, not angry at being ‘abandoned’ by her “bestie,” but excited…
The time to expose your true self has come!
Yange… can only be mine…
Elsewhere, Lin Xinyuan walked alone down the road, pulling his hood back over his head again. Being with Yellow Hair had made him too comfortable, causing him to forget his current situation.
Although many eyes during gym class had made him uncomfortable, he had gradually adapted and wasn’t as sensitive anymore.
It might have been wishful thinking, but since it had happened, attracting less attention was naturally better…
After walking a distance, Lin Xinyuan glanced back. Across the lawn, he saw the two from before, now only visible as two shadows.
One tall and upright, the other petite and lovely—they looked quite compatible.
That guy was lucky, having one romantic encounter after another…
Lin Xinyuan felt a mixture of envy, jealousy, and pain. He didn’t quite understand what was wrong with him—maybe a pessimistic outlook on his own future…
Suddenly, he remembered the barbecue buffet incident but quickly shook his head.
What a mess! So embarrassing!
Just as he was about to turn back, his gaze caught a figure seemingly sneaking behind those two.
He paused.
That person… looked like the other girl who came with that pretty girl, right?
Hiss… this is intense. Two girls at once? And he’s the unlucky one…
Lin Xinyuan’s mind ran wild with various story scenarios flashing through his head. Although he thought Yellow Hair was capable of such antics, in the end, he dismissed it as overthinking…
Just then, the distant figure was about to disappear from sight.
He shook his head, no longer caring, and turned forward to continue walking…
The small cafeteria was right beneath Lin Xinyuan’s dormitory building, but he didn’t go there.
He’d changed his mind.
Suddenly, going to the cafeteria alone felt pointless, to be honest…
He headed straight back to the dorm, ordering takeout casually on his phone. Tonight’s meal would be settled this way.
The weather was already cold, but after exercise—especially intense exercise—the body still felt sticky. Lin Xinyuan planned to take a shower first…
And then carefully examine the changes in himself from today…
