Chu Chu explained the complicated question she had asked to Ji Qingqian.

With the latter nodding thoughtfully, Chu Chu decided to get down to business.

But then, there was a knock on the door.

Chu Chu went to open the door.

Sure enough, it was Ma Jiaojiao who came back.

"Hina~~"

The moment the door opened, Ma Jiaojiao immediately gave Chu Chu a bear hug.

The moment he released her, Chu Chu asked suspiciously:

"No, where did you go?"

"Buy milk tea."

Ma Jiaojiao said, then handed the milk tea she was carrying to Chu Chu: "Here, the second cup is half price. I'm giving you a reward for being the great hero who opened the door for me."

As she spoke, she squinted and smiled, asking her other roommate:

"My two ministers have no objections, do they?"

Ji Qingqian shook her head: "I've already drunk it."

Wang Jue also shook her head: "Me too..."

Chu Chu:! !

Okay, okay, it's obvious at a glance that one is with Senior Lu and the other is with Class Monitor Chen!

She channeled her grief and anger into strength, forcefully shoving the straw into the plastic seal of the milk tea.

Pfft.

Then, the milk tea in the cup flowed up through the straw.

Fortunately, Chu Chu reacted quickly and moved it away a bit, but her chest was still a little wet.

Chu Chu:…

She was about to cry; even the milk tea was trying to bully her!

Ma Jiaojiao sighed helplessly, "You naughty child, can't you be a little more careful?!"

Ji Qingqian stared at her unremarkable, flat chest, damp with milk tea, and slowly nodded in praise:

"Good milk."

Chu Chu:? ?

Ji Qingqian, do you want to listen to what you're saying?

Chu Chu took off the hoodie she was wearing, leaving only a close-fitting undershirt.

It's been windy outside these past few days, but things are actually fine inside the dorm.

In addition, she was so angry that she maintained a relatively warm state.

Chu Chu took a big sip of milk tea.

Hmph, so what? At this moment, she's the only one who gets to drink!

…Then, because the milk tea was iced, she went to find a cardigan to put on after taking a sip.

"Ma Jiaojiao, why didn't you invite me to buy milk tea with you?" Chu Chu asked.

If she had a companion, she wouldn't have kept the buy-one-get-one-half-price drink for herself.

Therefore, Chu Chu concluded that she was alone.

“It looks like it’s going to rain, and we didn’t bring any umbrellas. I’m afraid you’ll end up stuck in the bubble tea shop like me.”

Ma Jiaojiao casually said, "If I go, and it really rains, I can call you to come and save me, right?"

Chu Chu's quick thinking failed to find any obvious flaws.

Ma Jiaojiao didn't give her any more time to continue searching. She asked:

How was the date?

Ji Qingqian gave a thumbs up and said calmly, "Nice."

Ma Jiaojiao: "...Haha...but I didn't ask you, I asked Wang Jue."

Ji Qingqian's expression turned cold: "Heh, biased."

Ma Jiaojiao: "Even a blind person could see how good your relationship with Senior Lu is, do I need to ask?"

Ji Qingqian was satisfied and nodded: "Hmm, that makes sense."

To be honest, during her time with Ji Qingqian, Ma Jiaojiao discovered that this school beauty, besides her aloof appearance, was actually quite eccentric at times.

For example, in this conversation, Ma Jiaojiao suspects that she deliberately said it so that she could hear from outsiders that she and Senior Lu had a good relationship.

The evidence is the slight arrogance that Miss Ji Qingqian is currently displaying on her face.

"…Um."

Wang Jue looked at Chu Chu.

The two of them relayed what the squad leader had said to Wang Jue, one narrating and the other adding to the story.

Ji Qingqian also took advantage of arriving before Ma Jiaojiao—fearing Ma Jiaojiao might not recognize her, she expressionlessly reminded her:

"The squad leader is Chen Wei."

Ma Jiaojiao: ...

She decisively ignored Ji Qingqian and listened to Wang Jue continue speaking.

"...So, I'm a little unsure what to do now."

Wang Jue spoke in a low voice.

She has always been a good student in the traditional sense.

That's right, not only are her grades good, but she's also very quiet. Besides studying, she has no other hobbies and doesn't have many interpersonal relationships.

It's also true that I've never been in a relationship.

—Not only have I never been in a relationship, I don't even have any male friends.

This is true even after you go to university.

Aside from male classmates I have to see during class.

In Wang Jue's memory, the male peer she had met the most times was... well, it was actually Senior Lu.

Wang Jue's life was quiet and uneventful.

She doesn't have the same level of popularity as Ji Qingqian.

Unlike Chu Chu, he was not eloquent and could easily become familiar with many new friends.

Ma Jiaojiao also has a boyfriend and frequently attends anime club events.

She was practically invisible; even when she went to the Ancient Style Club, she only dared to hide behind Ji Qingqian. Apart from her dormitory, the place she spent most of her time was the classroom.

— He almost never goes for walks, and when he does go shopping, he can only meet up with Chu Chu.

She seemed to know only the other three people in the dormitory.

The other three were all more outstanding than her.

This must be the first time... a boy her age has expressed clear affection for her.

"...Jiaojiao, Qingqian, you both have dating experience, do you think our class monitor... likes me...?"

Wang Jue felt ashamed as she uttered the last three words; her cheeks burned, and she spoke softer and softer.

Ma Jiaojiao laughed: "Juejue, don't lie to yourself. Do you even need to ask us? You already know the answer, don't you?"

That's right, Wang Jue already had the answer.

The idea that she was "not as good as others" persisted, making it impossible for her to believe.
