Chapter 332: Chapter 329: Everything is a Weapon

It was seven-thirty in the evening, Zhu Jin had just finished her bath and stepped out of the bathroom, toweling her mid-length hair dry.

In high school, she had kept her hair short for convenience, only starting to let it grow out after the college entrance exams. After two trims in between, it had just reached her shoulders.

With one hand, Zhu Jin rubbed her hair with the towel, and with the other, she reached for her phone on the table. When she picked it up and saw the na on the screen, she paused.

Then she pressed the answer button—

“Hello?”

“Um… I’m downstairs at your building right now.”

Zhu Jin: ???

Uncertain, she asked, “You said you’re where?”

“I’m at the bottom of your dorm building, I even saw Jiajia just now, walking with a few girls.”

Zhu Jin took a deep breath, incredulous, “You ca here to find ?”

“To find you, so can you co down now?”

After hanging up, Zhu Jin still felt sowhat unreal. Why had Yu Hang co to find her so late at night?

Why?

She didn’t think he’d figured anything out. They hadn’t interacted much before, and she hadn’t been very obvious either. Besides, Yu Hang definitely wouldn’t rember the few tis he had helped her back in high school.

Because of her buck teeth, she was often mocked behind her back as an eyesore. To say she didn’t care what others thought, that she didn’t care about her outward appearance, would be pure self-deception.

After all, she was just a teenager, at the age when one is supposed to bloom—how could she not care about beauty?

It was just that between academics and beauty, she chose academics.

The high pressure of intense study, plus the covert mockery, made her feel like sothing was wrong with her psyche for a while, turning her temperant quite volatile.

Once, when she had collected assignnts to take to the office, soone bumped into her on purpose, scattering her notebooks all over the ground. She was so angry she demanded the person pick them up, only to be publicly insulted with a derogatory na.

She had held back her tears at the ti, and just then, Yu Hang happened to walk by. He stepped forward and kicked the boy who had bumped into her, making him pick up the notebooks and apologize.

Another ti, as she was passing by the sports field, so boys from Class Six were playing basketball and deliberately aid the ball at her. Yu Hang blocked it just in ti and threw it back…

As Zhu Jin changed her clothes and headed downstairs, her mind was occupied with thoughts that he didn’t rember, she was sure of it. He’d definitely forgotten about those two incidents a long ti ago.

She had intended to keep her crush a secret, but as they got to know each other better in university than in high school, she couldn’t help but let so signs show.

Of course, these “signs” were just out of her own guilty conscience, and Yu Hang certainly wouldn’t notice anything unless he thought in that direction.

So, what was he doing here tonight?

When Zhu Jin ca downstairs, she had changed into a white dress with blue stripes that reached just below the knees, revealing her fair and smooth lower legs. She hadn’t blow-dried her hair and had just hurriedly wiped it a bit; the tips were still wet, dampening the nape of her neck.

Seeing her damp hair, Yu Hang knew she had just showered; her faint scent of soap assailed his nostrils, and he turned his head away slightly unnaturally.

“What exactly is it?”

Zhu Jin looked up at him, considering that a trip from the School of Communication wasn’t close, especially late at night…

“Well… it’s nothing much, just that, Wu Minmin—you know, the girl from our class you saw this afternoon, there’s nothing between us. She’s from the south, and her manner of speaking is just like that.”

Zhu Jin stared at him in shock, “You ca all the way here just to say this?” Didn’t he already ntion it in his text ssage earlier in the day?

Yu Hang cleared his throat, even more awkwardly, “You… you didn’t reply to my text.”

“Didn’t I already reply?”

“Afterward, I asked if you had arrived at school, but you never replied. I thought you were mad at .”

Zhu Jin was stunned for a mont, unlocking and opening the phone in her hand, muttering to herself, “You sent another ssage? How co I didn’t see it.”

Yu Hang touched his nose guiltily, whispering, “Maybe you didn’t receive it? Then probably the signal in your dormitory isn’t good.”

In reality, he hadn’t sent anything at all; he had co directly.

Zhu Jin naturally didn’t find the ssage, but she didn’t doubt his words either. She simply assud the signal was bad, which is why she didn’t receive it.

After a few words were exchanged, they suddenly found themselves with nothing to say. Standing face to face, both felt a bit awkward.

“How about I show you around our school?”

After all, he had co all this way, so as the host, it was only right to show so hospitality.

Yu Hang nodded, “Let’s go see your school’s Golden Rooster Lake. Jiang Yan ntioned before that there’s a big rooster in it.”

“There are also two mandarin ducks. They look quite nice when lit up at night. But it’s even more beautiful in the winter when it snows and the lake freezes over. If you’re free, you can co over again to see it.”

With a topic to discuss, they chatted casually as they walked. The atmosphere between them started to feel okay. That is until they turned into a cobblestoned lane that led to Golden Rooster Lake, where they encountered entwined shadows of embracing couples and even the occasional embarrassing smooching noises.

Their faces turned a bit red with embarrassnt. As they walked side by side, their arms accidentally brushed against each other, and they quickly separated as if they had been electrocuted.

Yu Hang couldn’t help cursing in his mind, How long since it got dark and they’re already this eager?

Of course, compared to his school, Beijing University still had relatively few of these couples. On the way over, only the area around Golden Rooster Lake had more couples in love, unlike School of Communication where, as soon as it got dark, every place was filled with pairs. So of the more outrageous ones were directly making out under the girls’ dormitory buildings.

Of course, Yu Hang had only heard about it; he hadn’t witnessed it personally.

Due to the presence of these couples, their plans to watch the rooster and mandarin ducks got disrupted. They took a quick look and hurriedly left.

By the ti they reached the brightly lit main road, both let out a sigh of relief and simultaneously wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

“Are you thirsty? How about so milk tea?”

“No thanks, I’d rather have juice. Milk tea at night keeps

awake.”

In the end, they simply went to a coffee shop. It would be a good place to have a drink and also rest.

Zhu Jin sat by the window, holding a cup of fruit tea as she looked at Yu Hang. Had he really co all this way just to explain about that girl?

She was now a little unsure of what Yu Hang felt for her.

Had he noticed sothing? Or did he have so other intention?

Yu Hang stirred his fruit tea, head down, aware that Zhu Jin was watching him with a scrutinizing gaze.

This girl was straightforward in her speech. Would she directly ask him sothing?

If she asked, what would he say?

Truthfully, he still hadn’t figured out what he truly felt. He had rushed over that evening impulsively because after that last text ssage, she hadn’t sent another, and he just couldn’t resist coming to see her.

Whether it was to explain or sothing else, after arriving and seeing her talk to him normally, he felt relieved.

Yu Hang felt that he had beco overly sensitive due to Zhu Jin’s tendency over the past year to ignore him on a whim. As soon as she acted out of the ordinary, he would imdiately think she was going to stop talking to him again.

Fortunately, Zhu Jin didn’t ask anything in the end. The two of them stayed in the coffee shop awkwardly until nine-thirty when Zhu Jin saw him off to take a taxi before she turned and headed back to school.
