Chapter 81 Xu Lingjing and Ye Yixian
"You like Gao Zhe?"
Ye Yixian looked at Wang Qingyu with surprise in her eyes. In the dim and quiet dormitory, her eyes, full of curiosity, sparkled.
Wang Qingyu blushed, raised her hand to cover her cheek, and whispered, "Haven't I made it obvious enough usually?"
Ye Yixian thought back carefully and realized that Wang Qingyu treated Gao Zhe in a very special way.
With the exam approaching, everyone was busy studying and had no time to spare, but every time Wang Qingyu organized her study notes, she would also prepare a copy for Gao Zhe.
Her own grades weren't outstanding, with a total score of just over 400, but she still did her best, hoping to help Gao Zhe improve his score by a few points.
Lu Yuan had already tailored a review plan for Gao Zhe, which Ye Yixian was well aware of, but Wang Qingyu's silent support was equally indispensable to Gao Zhe.
Gao Zhe wasn't ignorant of social etiquette; when he bought snacks and drinks, he would always bring one back for Wang Qingyu as a return gift.
However, Gao Zhe never considered Wang Qingyu as someone he was romantically involved with. He always treated her as a good brother with whom he could get along easily, and viewed her no differently from the other boys he played basketball and had fun with.
It's hard to say whether such an impartial nature is good or bad.
"Have you confessed your feelings to him?" Ye Yixian asked in a low voice, afraid of disturbing her other roommates.
Wang Qingyu gently shook her head, her tone full of shyness and trepidation: "How could I, a girl, take the initiative to confess? What if he doesn't have feelings for me after I confess and deliberately ignores me afterward? What should I do then?"
"That's true..."
Ye Yixian was immediately caught in a dilemma, and after a moment, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "When did you start liking him?"
"That year in my second year of high school." Wang Qingyu smiled gently, lost in sweet memories. "That day I was passing by the playground when a basketball suddenly came straight at me. I was so scared that I froze on the spot. Luckily, he rushed over in time and blocked the basketball. He was so cool at that moment."
Just recalling that scene still makes Wang Qingyu's heart flutter, and Ye Yixian is speechless at the sight.
It was probably because of this intention that Wang Qingyu took the initiative to get close to and befriend Ye Yixian.
She had already noticed that Ye Yixian and Lu Yuan's relationship was becoming increasingly intimate, and Lu Yuan was inseparable from Gao Zhe. By getting close to Ye Yixian, she could naturally get close to Gao Zhe through this relationship.
The girl's hidden thoughts were now laid bare.
……
With the second mock exam approaching and the monthly break drawing near, the entire senior year is shrouded in a complex and complicated atmosphere.
Some students have long given up on their grades and are completely indifferent to the upcoming exams, only looking forward to the holiday; while students who value their academic performance are filled with anxiety and unease as the big exams approach.
Lu Yuan remained calm and composed throughout, but unexpectedly, during the break between classes the day before the exam, Xu Lingjing specially invited him to the corridor outside the teaching building.
"Did you need something?" Lu Yuan asked calmly, his tone distant and indifferent.
His attitude clearly revealed his inner thoughts and subtly reminded Xu Lingjing that there was no need to talk about romantic feelings anymore, as it would be meaningless no matter what she said.
Truly letting go of someone is never about hysterical arguments, but about being indifferent and nonchalant.
Xu Lingjing has a high EQ, so she naturally understood Lu Yuan's coldness and aloofness. She could only suppress her feelings and said in the tone of an ordinary classmate, "This monthly break happens to be my birthday. Could you come to my birthday party?"
"Birthday……"
Lu Yuan then remembered that this monthly leave coincided with Xu Lingjing's birthday. This was a day he would never forget in his life; for over a decade in his previous life, he had kept it firmly in his heart.
In the past, on the eve of Xu Lingjing's birthday, he would always go to great lengths to prepare a surprise and try every means to please her.
Despite her heartfelt intentions and meticulous preparations for countless surprises, all she received in return was a perfunctory and indifferent thank you from Xu Lingjing.
Now that he has been reborn, Lu Yuan is unwilling to go to the banquet. Firstly, he would have to prepare a gift, and secondly, the atmosphere would be awkward and boring once he arrived.
In the past, he would always take the initiative to attend Xu Lingjing's birthday celebrations, but now, faced with the invitation, he was filled with hesitation.
The expectant smile on Xu Lingjing's face vanished instantly, but she didn't give up. She asked softly, "Is it inconvenient for you to come?"
"It's not exactly convenient, but it's not exactly inconvenient either. I had already made plans with Ye Yixian to run some errands during the holiday, and I wasn't sure if I could make it to your birthday party."
Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian had already agreed to go and visit together, and there was absolutely no room for change.
This explanation seemed like a reasonable refusal, but he knew in his heart that the visit would not take long, and Xu Lingjing's birthday party was scheduled for the evening. If he really wanted to go, he would definitely not be unable to find any free time.
Xu Lingjing's expression darkened upon hearing this, her tone laced with sarcasm: "What, are you two officially together now? Can't wait to go on a date?"
"Even if you two are on a date, you don't need to be glued together all day, do you? Are you planning to go to a hotel tonight?"
Lu Yuan: (ー_ー)!!
Lu Yuan was utterly speechless.
"We are both diligent students, so don't make wild guesses. In short, she and I have important business to attend to, nothing like the ridiculous things you're talking about, understand?"
Lu Yuan explained earnestly, not caring at all whether Xu Lingjing believed him.
Xu Lingjing pondered in silence for a moment. As intelligent as she was, she should have seen through Lu Yuan's intention to deliberately shirk responsibility and wisely let it go.
Based on Lu Yuan's understanding of her, he was certain that she would eventually come to her senses.
After a brief silence, Xu Lingjing suddenly said, "Okay, I understand."
Lu Yuan was completely bewildered: "What do you know?"
"Isn't all you want to do is stay with Ye Yixian?" Xu Lingjing said, then turned to leave.
Lu Yuan was even more confused: "What do you mean I only want to be with her? And where are you going?"
"Go find Ye Yixian."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan was completely taken aback, but Xu Lingjing showed no sign of joking and quickly walked towards Class 22.
Lu Yuan quickly caught up, blocking her path, his tone turning stern: "Xu Lingjing, what exactly do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't you dare go looking for trouble with Ye Yixian, or I won't be so lenient."
"You're being impolite to me?"
Xu Lingjing stopped in her tracks, looked up at him directly, and a disdainful smile curled at the corner of her lips. "What, you want to hit me? I remember you don't hit girls. What? Are you going to make an exception for Ye Yixian and hit me now?"
Xu Lingjing was indeed exceptionally familiar with Lu Yuan's bottom line.
Lu Yuan was speechless for a moment. In the instant he was stunned, Xu Lingjing nimbly walked past him and left quickly, arriving at the door of Class 22 in a flash.
It was during the break between classes, and students were walking around and chatting inside and outside the classroom. Xu Lingjing's arrival quickly attracted a lot of attention, and many people followed her to watch, instantly making the area around the classroom completely crowded.
At that moment, Ye Yixian and Wang Qingyu were discussing difficult review problems together when they were suddenly interrupted by the noise outside. Turning around, they saw Xu Lingjing walking straight into the classroom.
"Xu Lingjing?"
Ye Yixian looked puzzled, completely baffled as to why the other party had suddenly come to his door.
Wang Qingyu was equally puzzled, and a bad premonition inexplicably rose in her heart.
Xu Lingjing walked to the center of the podium, ignoring the surprised looks from everyone in the classroom. Her gaze slowly swept across the entire room, finally settling firmly on Ye Yixian, who was sitting in the last corner of the classroom.
