If you like him, confess to him. What’s the point of… (1)

Half an hour ago.

Yin Xue opened the school’s second-hand trading group and saw someone posted a brand-new BOSS noise-cancelling headphones. The pink and tender appearance was very cute, so she immediately messaged that person. After negotiating the price, they agreed to meet at the library to trade in person.

When Yin Xue arrived, she found that the person who came was a little familiar.

Wasn’t that Gu Xun’s roommate?

Jiang Junnan walked over, also recognizing Yin Xue, and asked straightforwardly, “We seem to have met before. You’re Yue Qianling’s friend, right?”

Yin Xue nodded and looked him up and down. Seeing that this person was over 1.8 meters, he didn’t seem like someone who would use pink headphones. So she asked, “Is this yours?”

Jiang Junnan helplessly scratched the back of his head, his eyes somewhat uneasy. “Of course not. How could a big man like me use that thing?”

Seeing doubt in Yin Xue’s eyes, Jiang Junnan was afraid she might think that the item wasn’t legit. So, he quickly explained, “I bought this as a gift for my ex-girlfriend, but we broke up before I could give it to her. This is absolutely authentic. I brought the receipt and I can also show the purchase record to you.”

“Oh… I see…”

Yin Xue looked at the purchase record and muttered, “It’s a pity to break up after buying the gift.”

Jiang Junna felt that if he continued, Yin Xue might figure out he got dumped, which would be embarrassing, so he made a joke and said, “Hey, I’m just trying to fit into the single atmosphere in our dormitory. Otherwise, I’ll be the only one showing off my love every day, how out of place that would be.”

Yin Xue was about to take out her phone to pay, but upon hearing his words, she suddenly grasped onto a certain point.

“Is everyone in your dormitory single?”

Jiang Junnan laughed, “Is that really surprising? Our college is famous for being a monastery, and even the campus heartthrob can’t find a girlfriend, haha.”

“Ah?” Yin Xue thought for a moment and asked, “Your dormmate, that… that Gu Xun, doesn’t he have a girlfriend?”

“He has a damn girlfriend?!” Jiang Junnan said. “Who spread such a ridiculous rumor?”

Yin Xue was also confused, “He said it himself. Someone heard it.”

Jiang Junnan paused for a moment, suddenly realizing the crux of the matter. “Oh, that is his old trick to reject people. I see him use that trick at least ten times a year. It’s a fatal blow, and it prevents future troubles.”

Yin Xue, with her mouth half open, finally grasped the truth of the matter. She dragged out an “ah” sound.

“So, that’s how it is.”

Jiang Junnan suddenly tilted his head and asked in a low voice, “Did you ask for Yue Qianling?”

“What?!”

Yin Xue was startled, “No, I just casually asked.”

Jiang Junnan smiled and said meaningfully, “Okay, anyway, he just made up his own rumors. He doesn’t actually have a girlfriend.”

On the way back, the more Yin Xue thought about it, the more she found it amusing. Yue Qianling had been down for several months due to such a rumor.

So when she described today’s experience in vivid detail, Yue Qianling was stunned for a while—

So, Gu Xun said he had a girlfriend to reject the girl in the elevator at that time?

Yue Qianling began to recall the scene at that time. Gu Xun’s every word seemed to fit this purpose perfectly.

Joy slowly grew in her heart, little by little.

Until it boiled and bubbled in her chest like boiling sugar water.

Yue Qianling, who had originally been lifeless, suddenly rolled on the bed, covered her face with a pillow, and chuckled in a muffled manner.

In fact, Gu Xun must have noticed that she liked him, such as that time on Christmas.

But he didn’t use that as an excuse to reject her, what did that mean?

It meant that he must have a good impression of her.

At this moment, Yue Qianling couldn’t remember the cold look Gu Xun gave her, she couldn’t help but use these small, seemingly insignificant incidents that couldn’t be any smaller and looked like there was a clue to do reading comprehension.

After a while, Yue Qianling looked up at the ceiling and laughed again.

Thinking about tonight when Gu Xun helped her fend off the alcohol and scolded the supervisor, she became even more certain of her thoughts.

The emotions that had been suppressed for several months had been turned upside down on this day because of breaking the rumor.

It had been so long since she had been so happy. Yue Qianling couldn’t control the smile on the corners of her mouth. She couldn’t hide her joy. She wanted to share it with someone, but unfortunately, Yin Xue was too far away.

Huang Jie, who shared the same room with Yue Qianling, came out of the bathroom and saw Yue Qianling laughing foolishly on the bed. She was stunned for a moment and asked, “Did you drink a lot tonight?”

Yue Qianling turned her head to look at her, not saying anything, just smiling, her face a bit flushed.

It seemed like she was quite drunk.

Huang Jie took out a small bottle from her bag and handed it to Yue Qianling.

“Fortunately, I was prepared. I knew that this kind of activity would definitely involve drinking, so I brought some hangover medicine.”

Yue Qianling stared at the hangover medicine in her hand, suddenly thought of something, and sat up abruptly and took the bottle.

“Let me borrow this!”

After saying that, she ran out with the medicine.

Barely two steps out the door, she turned back and walked to the bathroom mirror.

Tsk, her makeup was all messed up.

Yue Qianling hurriedly fished her makeup bag out of her luggage and sat down at the table to carefully touch up her makeup.

“Why are you touching up your makeup?”

Huang Jie couldn’t help but ask as she watched her movements. “Is there another activity that I don’t know about?”

“None at all.”

Yue Qianling finished applying foundation and said with a smile, “I’m going out to find someone.”

Huang Jie walked over to her and saw her serious appearance, and said with a laugh, “Are you sure you’re meeting someone and not going to find a duck?”

Yue Qianling: “……”

Ignoring Huang Jie, she pursed her lips, applied the lipstick evenly, and turned to ask, “Is this color good?”

“It looks good, looks good.” Huang Jie glanced at her casually and asked again, “What? Are you going on a blind date?”

Yue Qianling didn’t know how to explain, so she stammered, “The environment here is so nice, so I’m planning to take some photos later.”

After saying that, she went to rummage through the clothes she had brought.

However, after looking through them, there were only sweatshirts, jeans, and some solid color short-sleeved shirts.

When she packed her luggage yesterday, she thought that she couldn’t show off in front of Gu Xun, who had a girlfriend, so she chose simple and comfortable clothes.

Now, they seemed a bit too plain.

So, Yue Qianling attracted Huang Jie’s attention.

“Can I borrow some clothes to wear?”

Twenty minutes later, Yue Qianling changed into a white half-sleeved dress that Huang Jie had brought and left the room with a bottle of hangover medicine.

This time, the company’s team building had booked dozens of standard rooms, and the administrative staff had given each department a room assignment sheet. Yue Qianling found Gu Xun’s room number on it.

The hotel corridor was long and quiet, with the occasional muffled voices coming few rooms with open doors.

Yue Qianling was wearing flat shoes and a light and fluttering dress. The carpet was soft and thick, making her feel like she was walking on clouds.

A colleague came out of a room halfway, coincidentally meeting Yue Qianling. Her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, “Wow, I haven’t seen you wear a dress for a long time, and it’s pure white. You look like a fairy.”

Yue Qianling winked at her and smiled, saying, “Please remove the word ‘like.'”

The colleague laughed and patted her on the shoulder twice, then turned to find the elevator.

Reaching the door of room 1024, Yue Qianling smoothed her hair and rang the doorbell.

The one who opened the door was Yi Hong. He, with drunken eyes, saw Yue Qianling standing at the door and looked slightly surprised.

“What’s the matter?”

Yue Qianling subtly glanced into the room.

The balcony was not lit, with only a faint light coming from a few bedside spotlights in the room.

He stood there answering the phone, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt. Because the glass door was in between, his figure blended with the night, but his long legs were particularly eye-catching.

“I’m looking for Gu Xun.”
