Under the hazy moonlight, Zhou Yuwen turned to Zheng Yanyan without much expression, just as he had done with the instructor earlier. It seed that Zhou Yuwen could always maintain this calm, indifferent deanor no matter the situation. Ironically, this very deanor made him more appealing to Zheng Yanyan.
Thinking back to how Zhou Yuwen had calmly stood before her earlier, Zheng Yanyan suddenly understood why Shen Yu and Su Qing liked a guy like Zhou Yuwen. He was indeed more mature than most boys their age, giving off a strong sense of security—and importantly, he was also quite wealthy.
If one were to find a boyfriend in college, Zhou Yuwen would be a good choice.
So, when Zhou Yuwen looked at Zheng Yanyan, she thought about many things, but in the end, she said just one thing. And before Zhou Yuwen could react, Zheng Yanyan stood on tiptoe.
Her lips, slightly moist, gently pressed against Zhou Yuwen's cheek.
On the ground, their shadows overlapped for a mont before separating.
Zheng Yanyan's cheeks were flushed with excitent. Although she wasn't shy, this bold confession and the kiss made her heart race. She stood there, slightly out of breath, with her mouth open.
Zhou Yuwen was stunned, unable to react imdiately, as he looked back at Zheng Yanyan.
"I…"
The usually fearless Zheng Yanyan stuttered for the first ti, unable to make eye contact with Zhou Yuwen as she fumbled for an excuse.
"This kiss is just a reward for you stepping up earlier!"
"No need to walk
back! I'll return to the dorm by myself!"
Zhou Yuwen didn't say a word the entire ti while Zheng Yanyan babbled on, then hurriedly fled under the moonlight, looking rather flustered.
At this mont, Zhou Yuwen was indeed a bit confused. He had planned to find a new girlfriend after his rebirth, considering Shen Yu and Li Shiqi. But he had never imagined it would be Zheng Yanyan.
This was awkward. He had previously ntioned watching a movie with Li Shiqi, but it was delayed due to military training. Recently, he also talked to Shen Yu about going out for karaoke.
He hadn't even decided which one to pursue, and now he had inadvertently entangled himself with another.
This was a ss.
Zhou Yuwen certainly hadn't intended to beco a player.
Zheng Yanyan ran back to her dorm in a rush, not daring to look back, fearing Zhou Yuwen might chase after her. She quickened her pace, feeling like Zhou Yuwen was behind her.
She didn't stop until she was back in the dormitory, closing the door behind her with a long sigh of relief.
"Phew~" Zheng Yanyan leaned against the door, replaying the recent events in her mind, and couldn't help but smile.
She had never felt like this before. Although she had added guys on WeChat if she found them agreeable and even chatted with those she got along with, this was the first ti her heart had pounded like this.
She thought of Zhou Yuwen, standing in the moonlight with his chiseled features.
She recalled all the little monts she had shared with Zhou Yuwen.
In the infirmary, Zhou Yuwen treated her indifferently, almost annoyingly.
They went to the boys' dorm to eat KFC together, and finally, when Zhou Yuwen said, "I brought the burgers."
That mont of certainty.
Scenes flashed before Zheng Yanyan's eyes.
Yes, Zheng Yanyan could confirm it.
She was in love.
"Yanyan?"
Zheng Yanyan snapped back to reality, only to find her three roommates staring at her curiously, which startled her. "What are you all doing?"
"We should be asking you that! What were you just doing, grinning like that?" Su Qing looked at her suspiciously.
"Ahem!" Zheng Yanyan felt a bit guilty. "Was I?"
Shen Yu, however, was more concerned. "Tell us, what happened earlier? We were so worried about you."
"Oh, it was nothing, just a minor issue. I had to write a reflection." Zheng Yanyan's response was nonchalant, indicating her mind was elsewhere.
Su Qing noticed sothing was off and placed her hand on Zheng Yanyan's chest.
This startled Zheng Yanyan, who quickly covered herself, muttering, "What are you doing?"
But Su Qing's expression was serious. "Your heart is racing. Did sothing happen between you and Zhou Yuwen?"
"What? What could happen between
and Zhou Yuwen? That's ridiculous. Oh right, I haven't showered yet. I should go. A lot happened just now, and I'm all sweaty."
Zheng Yanyan wasn't the type to shy away from things, but the current situation was complicated. Even she wasn't sure how to explain her feelings for Zhou Yuwen, which made her feel a bit guilty.
Especially since she had previously said she would help Su Qing pursue Zhou Yuwen.
And now, in just a few days, she had already "betrayed" her.
Anyone would feel a bit embarrassed.
Trying to dodge the situation, she grabbed her toiletries and rushed to the bathroom.
The three roommates exchanged glances, feeling that Zheng Yanyan was acting strange.
But they could understand it; after all, a lot had happened, and she might have been scared.
That was Shen Yu's guess.
On the other hand, Su Qing felt sothing was off but couldn't pinpoint exactly what.
When Zheng Yanyan returned from her shower, she seed much calr and could explain things more clearly, saying it was just a false alarm.
"Damn it! Those jerk instructors really scared . I thought I'd be expelled! But when Zhou Yuwen and I got to the director's office, the director just chatted with us and even asked if we were dating."
At this point, Zheng Yanyan couldn't help but laugh. Fresh out of the shower, her hair was wet and loose, and she was wearing a loose white T-shirt that showed off her long legs.
After taking a hot shower on a hot sumr night, she opened the dorm window to let the breeze in. She felt incredibly comfortable sitting cross-legged on the chair with a bottle of soda and chatting with her roommates.
Those jerk instructors were just trying to scare them.
"The main thing is, I was really scared, but luckily Zhou Yuwen was there." Zheng Yanyan couldn't help but smile whenever she ntioned Zhou Yuwen.
"Yeah, we really should thank Zhou Yuwen for this," Shen Yu agreed.
Su Qing, however, was more proud. She said, "He's always like that—seems unreliable most of the ti, but you can always count on him in a pinch."
"Now I understand why you two like Zhou Yuwen so much," Zheng Yanyan said, changing her position to sit with her knees hugged to her chest.
This comnt made Su Qing and Shen Yu exchange glances, and then both looked away, trying to act nonchalant.
Seeing this, Zheng Yanyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
She suddenly found the situation quite amusing. Her roommates didn't know that she had already confessed her feelings to Zhou Yuwen.
Zheng Yanyan was confident in her charm.
As the saying goes, when a woman pursues a man, it's like peeling a layer of gauze.
She was sure she could win him over if she set her sights on a man.
Shen Yu and Su Qing didn't even know how to pursue a guy.
You had to be proactive, a little flirty!
They didn't even know their strengths.
Zheng Yanyan smirked, imagining the day she would show up holding Zhou Yuwen's hand. She could only imagine the looks on their faces.
The thought made her chuckle. She already missed Zhou Yuwen a little.
Zheng Yanyan wanted to express her feelings directly to Zhou Yuwen.
So she picked up her phone.
There were, of course, several ssages waiting.
Naturally, none of them were from Zhou Yuwen.
"Yanyan, how did it go?"
"Are you okay?"
"Are you back at the dorm yet?"
"Zhou's already back at the dorm, Yanyan."
"Actually, I had already thought of what to say, but Zhou stepped up first."
"Well, it should've been Zhou, since he bought the burgers. Although I feel a bit sorry for Zhou, we can make it up to him later."
"Yanyan, are you back at the dorm yet?"
"Honestly, Yanyan, you should've let Zhou take the bla. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. It's better for one person to take the fall than for two, and we're n—it doesn't matter."
Chang Hao had sent these ssages at different tis.
He had been worried since Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan were called to the administrative building.
When Zhou Yuwen returned, Chang Hao imdiately asked if Yanyan had returned.
Then, when Zheng Yanyan didn't respond, he asked Zhou Yuwen how it had been resolved.
Zhou Yuwen had simply said it wasn't a big deal.
"I need to shower before the bathroom closes," Zhou said.
So, in the end, Chang Hao didn't get the answer he wanted and kept ssaging Zheng Yanyan.
But his ssages weren't very well-received.
He felt guilty for not stepping up imdiately, especially since he claid to like Zheng Yanyan.
Yet, he hadn't been the first to act.
This made him feel ashad, and he couldn't help but think that Zhou Yuwen had stolen his thunder.
So, he wanted to downplay Zhou Yuwen's image in Zheng Yanyan's eyes.
Little did he know that Zheng Yanyan had already confessed her feelings to Zhou Yuwen, so his ssages were unwelco.
She didn't even bother to reply to Chang Hao.
Instead, she switched chats and sent a ssage to Zhou Yuwen.
"What are you doing?"
Of course, Zhou Yuwen was still in the shower and hadn't replied yet.
In these two dormitories, amid this complex web of relationships, one pair—a boy and a girl—was uninvolved in the love drama.
That was Lu Lin and Li Qiang.
The burger incident had nothing to do with them.
Apart from Chang Hao's bizarre comnts that had confused Li Qiang, everything else was fine.
When Zhou Yuwen was taken to the administrative building, Chang Hao returned to the dorm, looking devastated, and Li Qiang teased him a bit.
"Man, you Beijing guys are really sothing. You rescue soone but still manage to drag Yu Hang and
into it. We almost got caught up in it too."
"Right, Yu Hang?"
Chang Hao ignored him, thinking Li Qiang had been more eager to eat the burgers than anyone else but had been the first to run when trouble ca.
Shouldn't he help out Zhou Yuwen a bit?
"Are you really helping Zhou out? It's obvious you just want to steal the spotlight," Li Qiang said.
And that was the end of their conversation.
Li Qiang didn't say anything more and returned to ssaging Lu Lin.
But after sending several ssages, Lu Lin didn't reply.
When Zhou Yuwen returned, Li Qiang asked, "Hey, Zhou's back. Has Zheng Yanyan returned to your dorm?"
"Yeah."
Lu Lin's responses to Li Qiang were always cold, but Li Qiang didn't mind. As long as she replied, he saw it as a chance.
By this ti, Shen Yu and the others had already gone to bed. With the situation resolved, Lu Lin finally relaxed. Although the whole thing had nothing to do with her, seeing her roommates getting punished was still unsettling.
Lu Lin liked to spend ti alone on the balcony. Sotis, when she felt down, she would smoke a cigarette, even though she knew it wasn't good for her. But sotis, she just wanted one.
During the military training period, she had smoked less, but with Zheng Yanyan safe, she felt like celebrating with a smoke.
So she lit a cigarette on the balcony.
As the smoke curled up, Lu Lin sighed a sigh of relief. Leaning against the railing, she gazed at the night view of the campus, lost in thought.
This incident showed that Zhou Yuwen was indeed more responsible than most boys. Lu Lin knew this when Zhou Yuwen told others about her borrowing money—not because he was a blabbermouth, but because he wanted her to understand the difficulties.
Later, Lu Lin asked Chang Hao if he knew about her borrowing money.
It was clear that he didn't.
So, Zhou Yuwen had only told Li Qiang.
Even so, there was a mont when Lu Lin felt a bit dissatisfied with Zhou Yuwen's approach.
But in this unfamiliar city, Zhou Yuwen was the only wealthy person she knew.
anwhile, Li Qiang continued to send Lu Lin countless ssages.
But Lu Lin only responded with a "hmm" twenty minutes later.
After that, Li Qiang sent more ssages.
But Lu Lin didn't reply again.
It was a frustrating feeling.
Sotis, clarifying things between a man and a woman is better to avoid further complications. But if one side gets stuck, things can get ssy. By this ti, the school year had been in session for almost twenty days.
Li Qiang had been trying to chat with Lu Lin during those twenty days.
But most of the ti, Lu Lin chose not to reply.
And Li Qiang kept sending her ssages every day.
"Good morning! (grin)"
"Have you eaten?"
"Hey, let
tell you, today Chang Hao and Zhou almost got into a fight, haha."
"What are you up to?"
"Lu Lin, my financial aid application was approved. I got 3,000 yuan! If you ever need money, you can borrow so from ! (grin)"
Lu Lin had been ignoring Li Qiang, but when she saw his ssage about financial aid, she hesitated and finally replied, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
"No trouble at all!"
Seeing her reply, Li Qiang imdiately responded.
Initially, Li Qiang had thought he could use money to morally bind Lu Lin, hoping she would beco his girlfriend. But Li Qiang regretted his approach after Lu Lin ignored him for so long.
Now that Lu Lin finally replied, he didn't dare say anything out of line.
"I'm different from Chang Hao and the others. I don't spend much money. When the aid cos in, I'll keep a thousand for food, and you can use the remaining two thousand! (grin)"
