Evening.
Qin Ling arrived at the track and saw Jiang Yichen among the crowd, chatting and laughing with his roommates.
Not long after, Jiang Yichen walked towards her.
“Hey, Lingling, your student came to greet you.” Lin Yao teased.
Qin Ling’s lips curved into a slight smile.
He likes her that much?
He knows she likes lilies, remembers her preferences, makes her brown sugar water every day during her period, and even likes to imitate her speech…
Even now, just seeing her from afar, he happily came to greet her.
“Wait, Lingling, what are you smiling about?”
Lin Yao was surprised.
As Qin Ling’s university classmate and roommate.
She rarely saw Qin Ling smile; she practically always had an icy expression.
But now… the slight curve of her lips… did she think of something happy?
“I thought of something.” Qin Ling casually explained.
Lin Yao curiously asked, “What happy thing?”
Qin Ling thought for a moment and said, “I saw Fang Ruoyan last night.”
“Fang Ruoyan?” Lin Yao was puzzled. “So… you’re happy to see her?”
Qin Ling continued, “Not entirely, I’m happy to see the three of you.”
“Oh…” Lin Yao didn’t think much of it; she was actually quite happy too, reuniting with old friends was a great thing.
While they were talking.
Jiang Yichen approached.
But what surprised Qin Ling was that he didn’t come straight to her, but went to a girl in a floral dress in front of her, holding up his phone, seemingly asking for her WeChat…
Lin Yao was about to continue chatting, but Qin Ling returned to her icy expression, and she felt… Qin Ling’s expression seemed a little unhappy?
“……”
“Hello, senior.”
Jiang Yichen greeted.
He was also impressed.
After Zheng Mingcheng saw the girl in the floral dress, he and Zhang Wei started discussing who should ask for her WeChat.
As a result, after three rounds of rock-paper-scissors, Jiang Yichen had to accept defeat and take on the burden.
The girl in the floral dress was quite pretty, but the stunning beauty behind her was even prettier.
“Jiang Yichen?” The girl in the floral dress was a little surprised.
“Senior, you know me?”
“Of course I do, the aloof school heartthrob. You’re looking for me…?”
Jiang Yichen awkwardly coughed. “It’s like this, senior, my roommate wants your WeChat, would you mind…”
“Sure.” The girl in the floral dress readily took out her phone and opened her WeChat QR code.
Jiang Yichen scanned it and added her as a friend. “Okay, thank you, senior.”
This was only the second time he had proactively asked a girl for her WeChat.
The first time… was on a bright morning, given to Professor Qin…
Having successfully added her WeChat, Jiang Yichen waved goodbye to the senior in the floral dress.
“Junior, I found out you’re not as aloof as they said.” Another senior teased.
“hhh…” Jiang Yichen smiled and turned around.
“What a coincidence, Professor Qin, Teacher Lin, you’re here for a walk too?”
Jiang Yichen greeted Qin Ling.
But Professor Qin seemed to be in a bad mood, with a “Don’t touch me” expression…
Then she directly walked past Jiang Yichen and strode forward.
“Jiang Yichen, you’re quite something.” Lin Yao looked up and down at the handsome young man. “Are you going to start dating?”
Jiang Yichen was wondering what was wrong with Professor Qin, and hearing Teacher Lin’s teasing, he quickly explained, “No, no, Teacher Lin, I was doing it for my roommate.”
Qin Ling, who had just walked a few steps, paused, her large strides instantly turning into small steps… then she stopped.
Jiang Yichen and Lin Yao quickly caught up.
“Your roommate is a real friend.” Lin Yao joked.
“Definitely.” Jiang Yichen replied, for his friend, he would do anything.
“Professor Qin,” Lin Yao called out, “Why are you walking so fast?”
Lin Yao was puzzled; she felt that Qin Ling was acting strangely, happy one moment, unhappy the next.
Although she was on her period, her mood swings were too drastic!
“Nothing.” Qin Ling replied, then looked at Jiang Yichen and said, “Jiang Yichen, go back and practice your piano.”
“Okay, Professor Qin.” Jiang Yichen nodded. “Then I’ll go first, my roommate is waiting for me.”
“Mm.”
Qin Ling watched him walk away.
After he left, Lin Yao couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Lingling, what’s wrong with you tonight? I feel like you’re acting strange.”
“Nothing, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, I’m going back.”
Qin Ling turned and walked back to the apartment.
……
“Sorry, I just said hello to Professor Qin.”
Jiang Yichen said, handing his phone back to Zheng Mingcheng.
Zhang Wei chuckled, “Professor Qin is really aloof, I saw it just now, you went to greet her, and she didn’t even acknowledge you.”
Jiang Yichen was also a little confused.
Zheng Mingcheng: “You two stop chatting, help me think of something, what should I chat about after adding her?”
Zhang Wei: “Listen to me, start with ‘Hello’.”
Zheng Mingcheng: “Are you serious? Starting with ‘Hello’ is definitely lame!”
Zhang Wei: “No, no, this is called going against the grain.”
Shen An: “Shut up, Lao Zheng, listen to me, don’t send anything, just leave her alone, this is called playing hard to get.”
Zheng Mingcheng: “Will that work?”
Shen An: “Definitely, trust me.”
Zhang Wei: “Nonsense, listen to me, Lao Zheng.”
“……”
Jiang Yichen didn’t participate in their argument.
He silently walked to the side, took out his phone, found Professor Qin’s WeChat, and asked:【Professor Qin, did something happen to you today?】
【Qin Ling: No.】
【Jiang Yichen: But I feel like you were in a bad mood just now?】
【Qin Ling: No.】
【Qin Ling: You’re wrong, I’m in a good mood.】
【……】
Just as she reached the apartment building.
Qin Ling received a message from Jiang Yichen.
He cares about her that much?
“Um…” Lin Yao frowned beside her, her intuition told her that Qin Ling was acting very strange! Now she’s smiling again.
Tsk…
Lin Yao stretched her neck, wanting to peek at Qin Ling’s phone screen.
But Qin Ling was quick, locking the screen immediately.
“Lingling, something’s wrong, you’re acting strange!” Lin Yao circled Qin Ling. “Come clean, did you get a boyfriend?”
“Mm.” Qin Ling readily admitted.
“What!?” Lin Yao was immediately excited. “Where is he from? What does he do? How old is he?”
“He’s overseas.”
“……” Lin Yao was speechless. “Isn’t this the excuse you found to avoid getting married?”
“You know what I mean.”
“Hey, you… what was I saying?”
Before Lin Yao finished speaking, Qin Ling left her and went upstairs.
