3503 What Are You Hiding?
âSpill the beans!â said Ren Linna, âWe already guessed it. You must be talking about Han Zhuofeng last night..â
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, âCan you not do that? How it looks is less of a worry; more importantly, youâre going to create more wrinkles.â
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.
âHave you confessed to Han Zhuofeng?â asked Kuang Xiaorou.
âIt canât be that fast.â Feng Yaqing took out her phone and looked at the time they chatted last night.
âJiling talked to us late at night yesterday. She definitely wonât confess at midnight, right? According to her school schedule, she should have left pretty early,â said Feng Yaqing.
âItâs not good to confess in such a rush,â said Feng Yaqing.
âIndeed.â Ren Linna thought about it for a moment and said, âHan Zhuofeng returned to the production crew, right? Then, isnât there no way to confess recently?â
âYou guysâ¦â 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 eyeballs 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 Jilingâs reaction, they instantly knew that something was wrong.
âWhat are you hiding?â Feng Yaqing squinted her eyes and stared at Xie Jiling.
âBe honest!â said Kuang Xiaorou.
âItâs just⦠Iâm already together with him,â Xie Jiling, who did not know how to lie, said honestly, âBut he confessed first!â
âI asked you guys last night to confirm my feelings because I didnât know if I really liked him,â said Xie Jiling, âBut after listening to you guys, I became certain.â
âSo, I accepted him.â
âWow, you guys are quick,â Ren Linna was so in awe that she could not close her mouth.
âAs he had to go to the production crew today, he woke up at four in the morning. I was asleep, so I couldnât tell him face-to-face,â said Xie Jiling.
âBesides, Iâm too shy to say it face-to-face as well.â
âSo I sent him a WeChat message at midnight. When he woke up in the morning, he saw it,â said Xie Jiling, embarrassed.
âOh my god! Little Jiling is the fastest among us!â Kuang Xiaorouâs expression was blank.
Feng Yaqing said with great difficulty, âWe have so much experience in terms of theory, but whereâs the chance to put it into practice?â
âJiling got together with her boyfriend in the latterâs own house at that. Youâre too impressive,â said Ren Linna.
âSo the Han Familyâs Matriarch even gave you a big box of snacks to bring back?â asked Kuang Xiaorou.
Xie Jiling nodded like a well-behaved baby.
âHow did you come back with such a huge box?â asked Feng Yaqing.
âGrandma asked the chauffeur to send me back,â said Xie Jiling.
When she thought about it, she complained to her dorm mates. âGrandma 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.â
âHowever, on our way here, the gazes of the other students were strange.â 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 embarrassing to walk with him.
She had nothing to fuss about.
She just felt that the gazes were too hurtful and rude.
âDonât pay them any attention,â said Ren Linna angrily, âThose people are boring and snobbish.â
âThey think that they are prodigies just because they managed to enroll at B University, so they look down on other students who arenât 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.â
âI 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.â
âYeah, I will keep an eye, too,â said Kuang Xiaorou, âThey think theyâre hotshots. The way they look at others is so creepy.â
Xie Jiling looked at her phone and said, âWe need to go to class. Itâs almost time.â
They still needed some time to head to class.
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 classroom 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 class started.
The class 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 couldnât help but express her thoughts. âJiling is not single anymore, but Han Zhuofeng is working. Even though sheâs in a relationship, she doesnât have a boyfriend to help her line up.â
Kuang Xiaorou said, âThatâs trueâ¦â
Feng Yaqing responded, âThatâs good. At least Jiling wonât 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 class and eat together. The three of us wonât be left out just because Jiling is already in a relationship.â
âThatâs true.â Ren Linna agreed. âJilingâs love life is so suitable for us.â
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 Zhuofengâs 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.
âWhy donât you pick it up?â Kuang Xiaorou leaned over and took a glance. When she saw that it was from Han Zhuofeng, she immediately laughed.
âWe⦠we only texted using WeChat today. Iâm a little nervous to be on a phone call with him,â said Xie Jiling anxiously.
âThatâs your boyfriend. You have to pick up even if youâre nervous.â Kuang Xiaorou was quick; she extended her arm and helped Xie Jiling press the answer button.
That way, even if Xie Jiling wanted to dilly-dally, she couldnât afford to do so.
Han Zhuofengâs voice came from Xie Jilingâs phone next. âJiling?â
