Secret Crush 4: A Shy Girl

Back in the dorm, Qin Yingxia leaned against the door and stood there for a while.

Yang Dai came in from the balcony and called out to her, “Ah…”

“Why is your face so red?” Yang Dai walked closer and took a look at her, her tone indifferent, “What did Jin Zhuo say to you?”

Qin Yingxia shook her head, “He didn’t say anything.”

It was just that she liked him too much, and she couldn’t help but blush.

“…Oh.” Yang Dai looked away, pulled the curtains closed, and said no more.

Qin Yingxia began to unpack her things. As she opened her suitcase, she noticed her underwear in the mesh bag.

In an instant, her whole world crumbled!

Heat rose from her feet to her head.

Her face turned even redder, and she covered her face with her hands, not daring to look.

Fortunately, Yang Dai had pulled the curtains closed and couldn’t see her losing control, otherwise she would definitely think she was a bit strange.

What to do?

So embarrassing…

Qin Yingxia was on the verge of tears. She secretly pulled open her collar and took a peek, then silently closed it again, even more embarrassing.

“What are you doing?”

Yang Dai was about to get some water from the water dispenser, but she had seen enough of Qin Yingxia’s one-woman show.

“Ah?” Qin Yingxia jumped in surprise and couldn’t help but shrink back, “I… I’m just checking if I… grew taller today…”

“Pfft—”

Yang Dai’s mouth twitched, and she couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Big beautiful girl still cares about this?”

“What beautiful girl? There’s no beautiful girl—”

The dorm door was pushed open, and the girl who came in had a big and cheerful personality. Her wine-red wavy hair made her look warm and generous. Her fiery red halter top paired with high-waisted hot pants was a very aggressive beauty.

Yu Zhizhi took off her sunglasses and stared at Qin Yingxia who was squatting on the floor, “Oh my god, beautiful girl…”

Qin Yingxia was startled by her grand entrance, and it took a while for her to raise her hand to greet her, “…hi~”

“Hi hi!” Yu Zhizhi threw her bag onto her own spot, “I’m Yu Zhizhi, what’s your name?”

After Qin Yingxia told her name, Yu Zhizhi excitedly asked Yang Dai, “Sister, what about you?”

“Yang Dai.”

She looked at Yu Zhizhi expressionlessly and went out to get water.

After the door closed, Yu Zhizhi’s excited voice could still be heard clearly.

“You look like that blogger online, are you the same person?”

“It’s so hot, did you come to register alone, Yingying Bao?”

“…I came alone too, my parents were too nagging, I didn’t let them follow me…”

“Don’t pack anymore, I’ll take you to eat!”

“I’m from Di Cheng, I know where the best food is!”

“…”

Yang Dai felt a mixture of emotions in her heart. She pushed her thick black-rimmed glasses up her nose and pursed her lips tightly.

All the fun was theirs. Two beautiful girls would have a lot of common topics.

Beautiful girls shine everywhere, while she would take a long time to fit into a group.

The central canteen was always the most crowded place for students to eat, and today was the first day of school, so the canteen was packed.

Jin Zhuo put his suitcase back in the dorm and went to the canteen. Pei Lanhe had already chosen a spot and was waiting for him.

He ordered a large portion of crab casserole. Xie Chi and Jiang Yinghuai arrived before Jin Zhuo.

“I’m exhausted! Although freshmen are precious, too many people are unbearable for me!” Xie Chi lazily leaned back in his chair, picked up the Coke on the table and took a couple of big gulps, “The chattering makes my head buzz!”

Jiang Yinghuai glared at him, “Stop acting, you’re the one who flirts with all the girls, I’m the one who does the real work.”

Xie Chi: “Is that so?”

Pei Lanhe looked up from his game, smiling, “You two worked hard?”

“Not hard~” Xie Chi threw the empty bottle into the trash can, “Where’s Zhuo Zhuo? Still not here? Did he get lost in the world of freshmen?”

Just as he was talking excitedly, he felt a chill down his spine.

The next second, Jin Zhuo pressed his head down and asked him with a smile, “What, are you jealous again?”

Xie Chi: “I’m being honest.”

Pei Lanhe finished a round of the game and looked up, asking, “Zhuo Ge, did you get your suitcase back?”

“Yeah.” Jin Zhuo pulled out his chair and sat down, “She’s a very shy girl.”

Jiang Yinghuai paused his crab-eating motion and teased, “You mean she’s a very pretty girl, right?”

Jin Zhuo laughed and cursed him to go away.

“Let’s talk about something serious,” Xie Chi gave Jin Zhuo a big crab, as a “apology,” “We came here last year, but we didn’t have military training because of the weather. We thought we could escape this time, but we just received a notice saying that we have to train with the freshmen. As the saying goes, if the emperor wants a minister to die, the minister…”

Jiang Yinghuai chimed in, “The minister can also pretend to be dead.”

“You mean…” Xie Chi looked him up and down, his eyes focused on a certain area, “Say your aunt is here and it’s inconvenient?”

Jiang Yinghuai: …

Jin Zhuo and Pei Lanhe burst into laughter.

“You guys don’t know the most ridiculous thing, the weather forecast shows that it will rain for the next two weeks.” Xie Chi showed them the fifteen-day weather forecast, “So the school decided to postpone the military training for two weeks.”

Pei Lanhe was amused and casually brushed his silver hair out of his eyes, “That’s perfect, you can just lie flat for the next two weeks.”

“You’re thinking too simply.”

“Don’t forget about the club recruitment!”

“…”

Not far from them, Xu Siwan was taking Qin Yingxia and Yu Zhizhi to the canteen for dinner.

Originally, Yu Zhizhi was going to have a dorm gathering, and she had even booked a table at a restaurant outside.

But Yang Dai said she didn’t have time and couldn’t go.

So this gathering was postponed.

“Freshman, our school’s crab casserole is a must-try!” Xu Siwan expertly ordered, “See if you want to order anything else, I’m paying!”

Yu Zhizhi laughed generously, “Thank you, senior~ I won’t be polite!”

Qin Yingxia took a couple of sips of juice and politely agreed, “Thank you, senior.”

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”

Xu Siwan sat between them, her heart was about to burst with joy, “This is the highlight of my life!”

Qin Yingxia and Yu Zhizhi’s looks were at two extremes.

One was like a clear moon in the sky, a white moonlight in the world.

The other was like a wild fire on the ground, a rose in a no-man’s land.

“The return rate is off the charts!”

Yu Zhizhi picked a few dishes, looked up and handed the menu over, while paying attention to the four people not far away, “Wow… mass-produced handsome guys…”

It’s really rare.

“Where?” Xu Siwan followed her gaze and found that it was Jin Zhuo and his roommates.

“Their dorm is famous. It’s known as the production base of male leads in novels.”

Not only were the four of them handsome and good-looking, but even their names alone could start a novel.

Xu Siwan smiled meaningfully and nudged the two girls beside her with her elbow, “See if you like any of them.”

Qin Yingxia bit her straw and raised her eyes, her tea-colored pupils reflected Jin Zhuo’s figure.

Just then, a few girls pushed and shoved, pushing a girl in bright clothes to Jin Zhuo’s side.

“Hey, handsome, do you have a girlfriend?”

Xu Siwan and Yu Zhizhi were enjoying the show, only Qin Yingxia held her breath and dared not listen anymore.

The girl was wearing a smoke pink short skirt, her makeup was just right, sweet and beautiful. She smiled sweetly at Jin Zhuo who was drinking Coke.

What would his answer be?

Jin Zhuo slowly raised his eyes, pursed his lips slightly, and bit his straw, looking a little bit like he was smiling.

The girl, seeing this, her eyes lit up, thinking that she had a chance, “Can I add you on WeChat? Want to date?”

Jin Zhuo didn’t answer her question directly, he just glanced at the QR code she showed.

“Sorry, my mom doesn’t let me date. If I date, my mom won’t let me.”

The girl: …
