Nian Ueno

Jiang Weixi walked out of the playground and walked quite a distance before feeling someone following her.

When she reached the girls' dormitory building, she stopped and turned to look at the ginkgo tree that was as thick as two people.

I waited a few seconds.

A boy slowly walked out from behind the tree trunk.

After you see clearly who it is.

Jiang Weixi raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

Zhang Da hesitated as he walked up to her, nervously clenching his fists. Under the goddess's gaze, his heart pounded wildly.

Jiang Weixi's expression remained calm: "You're following me?"

Zhang Da mustered his courage, raised his head, looked directly into her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Xiao Jiang, have you and Ji Xingzhou broken up?"

The darkness of the night could not hide his blushing face.

Jiang Weixi could roughly guess what he wanted to say.

"Yes, we broke up."

Zhang Da's eyes lit up, his throat dry: "Xiao Jiang, actually... I like..."

Jiang Weixi interrupted him: "I'm sorry, I haven't gotten over this relationship yet. I still have feelings for him, and I can't start a new relationship right away."

She used Ji Xingzhou as a shield to subtly reject Zhang Da.

This guy isn't her type.

She wasn't interested at all.

I don't want to waste the other person's time.

I don't want to spend any time on the other person either.

Zhang Da's eyes darkened: "It's alright, I can wait for you... to come out."

He gazed at that pretty face, his heart pounding.

"Xiao Jiang, I really... like you."

This was the first time Zhang Da had expressed his love to a girl, and he was completely flustered and at a loss.

Jiang Weixi lowered her eyelids, a hint of sadness appearing on her face, as if she was still grieving over her previous relationship.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept you. I may have a hard time forgetting Ji Xingzhou."

"Perhaps I will never fall in love again."

She said that just to make the other person give up completely.

But Zhang Da is stubborn, even though she had clearly refused.

He persisted, saying, "I know you won't get over it right away, I know you like him a lot, but... I'll wait for you, I..."

Zhang Da was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say. Coupled with his nervousness, he kept stammering as he spoke.

That's the only thing Jiang Weixi will never like.

She prefers men who are decisive, straightforward, and unrestrained.

My phone vibrated in my shirt pocket.

Jiang Weixi took it out and glanced at it.

[Mr. Liu Liu: Video?]

I checked the time, it was already ten o'clock.

We agreed to have a video call at this time yesterday.

Jiang Weixi looked at her phone, her fingers typing rapidly.

Zhang Da stood to the side, secretly peeking at her profile.

Bathed in the warm yellow light of the streetlights, she appeared even more gentle and charming.

Zhang Da fidgeted with his fingers, his mind racing, and his face flushed.

This is his ideal girl.

Unfortunately, the girl didn't have eyes for him.

Jiang Weixi replied to Mr. Liu Liu.

[Gentle Little Rabbit: Brother, wait a moment, I'm still downstairs in the dorm taking care of something. I'll call you when I get upstairs.]

[Mr. Liu Liu: Okay.]

[Mr. Liu Liu initiates a voice call]

Ji Dongxun accidentally pressed the call button and was about to hang up when the call connected.

Jiang Weixi didn't see his voice call. She had already put her phone back in her pocket, but her finger accidentally touched the screen and she answered it by mistake.

But she didn't know.

Jiang Weixi glanced at the boy standing opposite her.

Zhang Da rubbed his hands together nervously.

Jiang Weixi was in a hurry to go upstairs and didn't want to talk to him too much, so this time her refusal was even clearer.

"I'm sorry, I don't like you, we can't be together."

Ji Dongxun stared at his phone screen, about to turn it off, when he clearly heard the girl's cold voice coming from inside.

He paused for a moment, but didn't click the hang-up button.

I wonder if the girl on the other end of the phone is her.

The tone and intonation were completely different from how I usually talk to people.

But who else could it be but her?

Perhaps this is the real her?

Ji Dongxun decided to continue listening.

Zhang Da lowered his head, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with a burning light.

The intense gaze made Jiang Weixi instinctively take a step back, becoming wary.

Zhang Da suddenly shouted at her, "I'll wait for you."

The loud shout drew strange looks from the students passing by.

After making this statement, Zhang Da turned and ran, extremely excited.

Jiang Weixi stood still, blinked, and didn't take those words seriously.

She's had her share of boys pursuing her since she was a child.

She doesn't need to do anything; just keep a cold face, and after a while, the other party will stop pursuing her.

Jiang Weixi turned and went into the dormitory building.

Ji Xingzhou only emerged from the shadows after her figure disappeared.

He didn't know why, but he found himself walking downstairs to her dormitory without realizing it.

He heard everything she and Zhang Da said, not missing a single word.

She rejected Zhang Da.

She said she still couldn't forget her previous relationship.

He knew that Jiang Weixi had never let go of him and still cared about him; she was just being stubborn.

This was just one of her little tricks.

To retreat in order to advance.

I don't know where I learned that.

Ji Xingzhou leaned against the big tree for a while, glanced up in the direction of her dormitory, and then turned and walked away.

Jiang Weixi took out her phone as she climbed the stairs.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that she and Mr. Liu were actually on a voice call.

Jiang Weixi was startled.

When was the voice call started?

She was stunned.

Hang up the phone immediately.

Jiang Weixi wasn't sure how much he had heard, so she tentatively sent a message.

[Gentle Little Rabbit: Brother?]

[Mr. Liu Liu: Hmm.]

[Gentle Bunny: When did you turn on the phone? What did you just hear?]

Jiang Weixi tried hard to recall what she had just said; she probably hadn't said much...

[Mr. Liu Liu: I heard a boy say he would wait for you.]

[Gentle Little Rabbit: ...]

[Gentle Little Rabbit: Brother, why are you eavesdropping on other people's conversation?]

The boy shouted so loudly, it would have been impossible for him not to hear it.

[Mr. Liu Liu: Has someone confessed their feelings to you?]

[Gentle Bunny: Hmm, but I declined.]

[Mr. Liu Liu: I heard you.]

[Mr. Liu Liu: Why did you refuse?]

[Gentle Little Rabbit: Because the person I love in my heart is you~ Although we haven't met in person and are only in an online relationship, I will still wholeheartedly pursue our relationship, so I can only apologize to him.]

Ji Dongxun curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

Although he knew that what she said might not be true, he was still happy to know that she rejected other boys' advances.

[Mr. Liu Liu: A sweet-talking little liar.]

[Gentle Little Rabbit: Where did I lie to you? I was just telling the truth.]

[Gentle Little Rabbit: But... how do you know she's being sweet-talking?]

Jiang Weixi stood at the corner of the stairs, turned on the camera, pouted, and zoomed in for a close-up shot.

[Gentle Little Rabbit sent a photo]

Ji Dongxun opened the photos she sent.

Her cherry-pink lips were coated with a shimmering lip gloss, making them look like they were covered in honey. Her slightly pouting lips looked like they were beckoning a kiss.

I really want to kiss him.
