Chapter 67 "I~Only~Like~You~"

—

After the welcome party ended, everyone returned to their normal lives, which proceeded in an orderly manner.

The video of Song Shiyi and He Jinzhao's performance was uploaded to the forum by Si Yue, and it was wildly forwarded and commented on, becoming a hit not only on campus, but also off campus and on short video platforms.

The two became famous and attracted attention from others whenever they walked down the street.

Fortunately, the students' interest came and went quickly, and it faded away after only a week.

Since He Jinzhao confessed his feelings to Song Shiyi, he no longer hid them and openly followed behind her.

Wherever she is, He Jinzhao will inevitably be there. This behavior is too obvious. Everyone knows that He Jinzhao is pursuing her, and he doesn't hold back at all.

The fact that Song Shiyi was able to speak has attracted a lot of attention.

After all, some people had previously expressed regret that the pearl was covered by a layer of dust.

Now that the dust has settled, her brilliance can no longer be hidden.

One day, a few people were eating in the cafeteria. Si Yue, biting her chopsticks, noticed the stares around her and clicked her tongue, saying, "You two are really famous now. You get attention wherever you go. If you were to pick your nose and get photographed, wouldn't your careers be ruined?"

The three of them: "..."

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound. However, yours is just too rough.

Song Shiyi said helplessly, "Yueyue, you're joking again."

Si Yue chuckled and, in a flattering manner, picked up some food for her, coaxing, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I was just praising how popular you are!"

Xie Lin scoffed, "That's a good compliment. Don't do it again next time."

Si Yue's expression immediately changed, "Hey—"

He Jinzhao sighed, thinking, "Are these two incompatible? Why can't they get along when they're together?"

He gave Xie Lin a disapproving look and smiled, "Well said, don't say it again next time."

Xie Lin: "..."

He glanced at He Jinzhao, then at the girl sitting obediently eating next to Si Yue, and pursed his lips.

What a scoundrel who forgets his principles for the sake of lust.

Si Yue proudly raised her chin at him, her eyes defiant.

Hmph, with his best friend by his side, would He Jinchao dare to stand on his side?

Xie Lin curled his lips, too lazy to argue with her.

Ten minutes later, everyone had almost finished eating and was ready to leave.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from another part of the cafeteria, attracting the attention of many people, including Song Shiyi and his group.

They stopped in their tracks and looked toward the source of the sound, their eyes filled with curiosity.

However, the area was cordoned off, and their location was quite far away, so they couldn't see the specific situation.

Si Yue was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Fortunately, the surrounding students were all keen on gossip and discussing the situation, so it wasn't hard to tell what had happened.

"What's going on, sis?"

"I witnessed the whole thing, you know Shi Qiurou, right?"

"Who doesn't know her? She's the famous playboy at Peking University. I've read almost all the gossip about her in the posts."

"So you must know that she has a new boyfriend?"

"? I really don't know when this happened. Wasn't she interested in He Jinzhao, that handsome guy in economics? She even asked him for his contact information, but it seems he refused."

Upon hearing this, the other three silently looked in the same direction.

He Jinzhao was completely dumbfounded.

No? What does it have to do with him?

Don't ruin his reputation!

He hasn't even won over his wife yet.

He Jinzhao immediately looked at Song Shiyi with a serious expression: "I only have a working relationship with her, I'm not familiar with her, really!"

"I only love you!"

Upon hearing this, Si Yue gave a sarcastic look and said in a mocking tone, "Oh!"

I only like you.

Song Shiyi immediately blushed.

Xie Lin also curled his lips and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Mind your manners. I'm still a naive child."

He Jinzhao: "..."

He coughed lightly twice, realizing he was getting a little anxious.

The main reason was to prevent Song Shiyi from misunderstanding. She has an introverted personality and will keep her unhappiness to herself and sulk.

He didn't want her to have internal conflicts, so he blurted it out subconsciously.

Forget that she's shy and would feel embarrassed.

Fortunately, after spending these days together, she has gotten used to He Jinzhao's passionate and undisguised feelings, though she still feels a little shy in front of her friends.

But I felt even more joy.

She didn't really care about it; after all, everyone has one or two male friends, which is normal.

But she didn't expect He Jinzhao to explain it directly in public.

This feeling of being cared for made her feel warm all over, and even the smile on her face deepened.

She nodded. "I understand."

He Jinzhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she looked normal. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Song Shiyi.

The main reason is that I've been... cough cough... a little too obsessed with spending time with her lately.

He almost forgot about Shi Qiurou.

After this little incident, the group continued to quietly observe the drama unfold.

"That's old gossip. She just started dating a boyfriend a few days ago. They were having dinner together when something happened. Shi Qiurou suddenly lost her temper, told the guy she wanted to break up, slapped him, and then turned and left."

"Holy crap! That's so exciting!"

So what is it now?

"Her boyfriend wouldn't let her leave. He was saying something, demanding an explanation from her, and so on."

"As for anything else, I don't know."

"..."

Si Yue felt a little regretful; she had only eaten half of the melon, which left her very eager to try it.

She leaned close to Song Shiyi's ear and whispered mysteriously, "Yiyi, shall we go to the front row?"

Song Shiyi glanced at the crowd surrounding him, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Si Yue patted her chest and said confidently, "Watch me!"

She cleared her throat, pinched her throat, and a deep, authoritative voice came from her mouth.

"What are you all doing huddled together like this! What kind of behavior is this?! Disperse now!"

The unsuspecting students all thought it was the teacher, and the crowd scattered in an instant, leaving only a few people behind.

The other three remained silent for three seconds, then all silently gave a thumbs up.

ox!

Si Yue's lips curled into a sly smile as she excitedly said, "Let's go, let's go, it'll be too late if they react in time."

Si Yue was right. The students looked left and right but didn't see the teacher, and they all started to complain.

"Who's so despicable as to give false intelligence? I curse her to never have toilet paper!"

"I'm speechless. I'm already in college, so why do I still get nervous whenever I hear the word 'teacher'?"

"I ordered it."

"Waaaaah, my best front-row view is gone."

"..."

Some are happy, some are sad.

Shi Qiurou was initially annoyed when she heard those words.

After all, no one wants to bring such a private matter into the open.

Moreover, she is someone who is well-known to everyone.

Didn't you see how many people were watching the commotion just now?

If she hadn't been so angry, she wouldn't have wanted to cause such a scene in public.

She suppressed her anger and was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of a familiar face out of the corner of her eye, and paused for a moment.

Seeing the interested expressions on their faces, her expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

Could that commotion just now have been caused by those guys?

The purpose was just to... gossip about her?

Shi Qiurou's lips twitched, her feelings a mix of emotions.
