Chapter 19: CH 19

The next morning, the two finally ran together. During the run, they were each in their own thoughts.

After punching out their cards, Yi Shang said while slightly gasping, “Come eat with my roommate?”

“Sure.” Lin Xia put his roommates’ cards in his pocket.

“My roommate’s girlfriend is also joining.” Yi Shang saw that Lin Xia wasn’t gasping and was no different from usual. Lin Xia has such good stamina?

“Sure.” Are they going there to be light bulbs? Oh well. There’s no difference between one or two bulbs anyway.

They went to the second canteen together. Lin Xia saw Yi Shang’s roommate and girlfriend standing at the door of the second canteen, waving at them. Lin Xia squeezed his fingers, palms slightly sweaty, and secretly glanced at Yi Shang. Why does it seem like he doesn’t care?

“Allow me to introduce, this is my roommate Xiao Zhang.” Yi Shang pointed at Xiao Zhang and introduced him to Lin Xia.

What Lin Xia thought was, I know, I have seen you guys many times. He nodded to Xiao Zhang as a greeting, “I’m Lin Xia.”

“I know you, who doesn’t know the handsome top student.” Xiao Zhang lifted his arm and put it around Yi Shang’s shoulder. “How did you guys get to know each other?”

“At the club.” Yi Shang moved Xiao Zhang’s arm away.

“Hmph, as if I want to hold you.” Xiao Zhang put his arm around his girlfriend’s shoulder and introduced to Lin Xia, “This is my girlfriend.”

“Hi, cutie.” Xiao Zhang’s girlfriend was smiling.

When Xiao Zhang heard his girlfriend say “cutie”, his jealousy almost flew up to the sky and clung to his girlfriend.

Lin Xia’s brain shut down. This girl is Xiao Zhang’s girlfriend? Then who’s Yi Shang’s girlfriend? He suddenly felt a little sorry. After all, he thought these two people were having an affair.

“What’s the matter? Dazed?” Yi Shang noticed the change in Lin Xia’s expression, he bowed slightly and approached Lin Xia.

“Let’s go.” Lin Xia came back to his senses and noticed that the little couple had already entered the canteen.

After they bought breakfast and sat down, Xiao Zhang glanced at Lin Xia from time to time.

Lin Xia didn’t feel uncomfortable. Other than Yi Shang, other people’s gaze won’t make him lose his cool at all.

“You cross-eyed?” Yi Shang reached out and waved in front of Xiao Zhang, trying to pull Xiao Zhang back to his senses.

“I just wanted to see which god made you go running so early in the morning.” Xiao Zhang kept feeling that there was something between them.

“You’re done looking now right? Eat your meal.” Yi Shang jabbed back.

Xiao Zhang put on a worried face. Could it be what he’s thinking? But that road is too difficult to walk down. Xiao Zhang swallowed the food in his mouth and said, “How’s it going with the girl who pursued you last time?”

“She’s a good person, but I don’t like her.” Yi Shang issued a good person card and added, “Next time you act as a middleman again, you will die.”

“I don’t want to either, but wasn’t that because she’s my high school classmate?” Xiao Zhang knows Yi Shang’s character and has never been a middleman before. It’s just that this time, it was his high school classmate, “You’re not giving it a try?”

Yi Shang looked over, and Xiao Zhang made a zipping action, he will just shut up now.

Lin Xia sat aside and listened to the conversation between the two. His heart was full of questions. Yi Shang’s not dating anyone? Then why did he announce it in his Moments?

After breakfast, they each had their own thoughts. Only Xiao Zhang’s girlfriend remained as usual.

Lin Xia and Yi Shang walked to the dormitory building with their roommates’ breakfast. When they were about to separate, Lin Xia finally gathered up the courage and asked casually, “I remember you were in a relationship? I saw it on your Moments before.”

Yi Shang knew what Lin Xia was talking about, but he still put on an expression of him trying to recall and suddenly realizing, “Are you talking about that post where I lost in truth or dare?”

Truth or dare? Lin Xia understood everything after a little thinking, so everything was a misunderstanding.

“Then why didn’t you accidentally see the next post?” Yi Shang asked, although he already knew the answer, adding emphasis to the word “accidentally”. Then he explained, “I deleted and clarified it an hour later.”

Lin Xia felt bitter. He had already blocked Yi Shang at that time. How could he know this?

Lin Xia could only say dryly, “I don’t pay much attention to people’s Moments.”

“You’re right, how can ordinary students like me attract the attention of a top student? After all, it took me several tries before I got you to agree to run with me in the morning.” Yi Shang began to act pitiful again.

“Then I’ll call you tomorrow too.” Lin Xia finally fell into Yi Shang’s trap.

“But I don’t want to get up early and run.” Yi Shang sighed again, the number of sighs today exceeded the standard.

Lin Xia doesn’t know what to say, he hates his stupid mouth.

Yi Shang saw Lin Xia nibbling his lower lip and looking a little distressed. He was so amused inside, Lin Xia probably used all his brainpower in studying that he didn’t know how to respond. Yi Shang had to continue for him, “I want breakfast, but I don’t want to get up early.”

“Then I’ll bring it to you tomorrow, tell me what you want to eat.” Lin Xia answered quickly.

“I want to eat the egg pancake from the fourth canteen.” Yi Shang said and quickly changed his mind. “Forget it, the fourth canteen is too far away, then I guess the fried noodles from the second canteen.”

The fourth canteen was near the entrance of the school, the farthest from the dormitory. Very few people will eat breakfast there at ordinary times.

“Not a problem, I’ll bring it to you. It just happened that I also want to eat it.” Lin Xia answered.

“Okay.” Yi Shang finally brought the smile he kept inside to his face. Lin Xia really loves him so much!
