Chapter 376 More Passionate, More Like a Flame

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, please let me pass this exam, please let me not fail again."

"All the gods and immortals, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, the God of Wealth and the Kitchen God, oh yes, yes... God of Literature, please bless me so that I may pass this time. I will definitely burn the best and most expensive incense for you all later..."

Su Shu, applying lipstick, saw Huang Xin spinning around in circles, pleading with the air, and scoffed.

"Instead of wasting your time begging and pleading, you would have studied a little more and you might have passed by now."

"You're asking now?"

She shook her head. "It's too late."

She jumped out and ruined the mood. Huang Xin glared at her and retorted, "I asked for my own thing, what's it to you? Don't think you're so great just because you did well on the exam."

"In our entire dorm this semester, you've asked for the most substitute classes. You should worry about yourself first."

The two of them started arguing as soon as Shen Xuewei came out of the restroom.

She took two tissues to wipe her hands, then leaned closer to Lu Jiayi and asked:

"Jiayi, why are those two arguing again?"

Lu Jiayi sat leisurely in the chair, even having time to eat sunflower seeds while watching the two of them argue.

Thinking back to their freshman year, when the two of them were arguing, Lu Jiayi was the most proactive in mediating their fight.

Later, the two argued every few days, and Lu Jiayi's enthusiasm for mediating the fights began to decline rapidly.

From actively trying to mediate disputes, to giving perfunctory advice, and now to not mediating at all, and even leisurely watching the show.

She grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and handed them to Shen Xuewei. "Oh, it's nothing. Don't you know those two?"

"Let them argue, it's good for their health, then it'll be quiet for a couple of days. Wait a minute..."

She suddenly realized, "The exams are all over, and it's summer vacation. The two of them won't be together, so they won't be able to argue."

Shen Xuewei took the sunflower seeds she was offered and squatted down to watch them argue while eating them.

After they finished eating their sunflower seeds, their arguing stopped.

As is Su Shu's usual practice, after arguing with Huang Xin, he should have packed his bags and left the dormitory.

Even though the argument was over, she was still sitting firmly in her chair, sulking.

Thinking of this, Shen Xuewei gently nudged Lu Jiayi's arm and asked in a low voice:

Why hasn't Su Shu left yet?

Lu Jiayi looked at her with a puzzled expression, then quickly turned her face away and mumbled:

"She probably... has something else to do."

Shen Xuewei didn't take it seriously. Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, she turned around and sat back down in her chair.

She talked on the phone with her second aunt for a while, and after the call ended, she glanced at the watch on her wrist.

There was one hour left until the time she and Lian Jinian had agreed upon.

At this moment, Huang Xin and the other two looked at each other and suddenly walked towards Shen Xuewei together.

"Weiwei, are you going to watch the junior students play basketball later?"

"yes."

They knew this, and Shen Xuewei wasn't surprised, after all, Lian Ji Nian had asked them a lot about her preferences in the past few months in order to pursue her.

Both of their roommates have each other's contact information, so they probably got the information from Lian Jinian's roommate.

"There are so many people playing ball there, there might even be some handsome guys, Weiwei, you'd better dress up nicely."

Shen Xuewei sat in the chair, too lazy to move. "It's still early. Let's talk about it later. It's just about touching up my lipstick."

Huang Xin grabbed Shen Xuewei and said, "No, you can't be so perfunctory, or you'll regret it."

Shen Xuewei felt somewhat bewildered, "What do I have to regret?"

Huang Xin pushed her to stand in front of the wardrobe, "Oh well... anyway, Weiwei, listen to me, dress up a bit more. You've been wearing this all day, change into something else. I remember you bought a white dress last time..."

The three of them were exceptionally enthusiastic and helped Shen Xuewei change her clothes.

After she changed her clothes and came out, Huang Xin immediately pushed her onto a chair, while Su Shu took her makeup tools and helped Shen Xuewei with her makeup.

Lu Jiayi stood behind Shen Xuewei and helped her style her hair.

After a lot of work, a completely new Shen Xuewei was born.

The three of them stood in front of her and exclaimed "Wow!" in an exaggerated way.

Huang Xin pulled Shen Xuewei to the full-length mirror in the dormitory and made her look at herself in it.

"Weiwei, look how pretty they are! Let's go like this later. The guy is handsome and the girl is beautiful. They look like a perfect match with the junior."

Shen Xuewei felt it was a bit too formal, but looking at the three people beside her, she vaguely guessed what was going on.

So he nodded and said, "Hmm, this looks pretty good. I'll go over there like this later."

Huang Xin glanced at the time.

They had timed it perfectly to help Shen Xuewei with her outfit, and after about half an hour, it would be almost time for Shen Xuewei to walk there.

"Alright, it's already past forty. You can go now. You'll be there in just the right time."

The group watched Shen Xuewei leave the dormitory, then began packing their things and followed her downstairs, without letting Shen Xuewei know.

Shen Xuewei walked to the court, and Lian Jinian, who was dribbling and warming up, ran over as soon as he saw her.

"Weiwei, you're here."

Shen Xuewei's eyes lit up when she saw Lian Jinian in front of her.

Before leaving, he made a point of tidying himself up, with a black sports headband tied in front of his forehead, pressing his stray hairs back to reveal his full forehead and clear eyes.

Looking at Shen Xuewei, he smiled brightly, with a hint of youthful innocence still lingering on his lips.

Shen Xuewei sniffed and seemed to smell a refreshing perfume scent.

"I think I smell perfume."

"Oh? Really? I... I have a stuffy nose today, I can't smell anything."

His ears turned slightly red, and he quietly hid his arms behind his back.

Shen Xuewei watched his actions and found it somewhat amusing, then said:

"What a pity, I thought it smelled really nice, and I was wondering who sprayed it..."

Lian Jin cleared his throat lightly, then casually stretched his arm out in front of Shen Xuewei and placed it there.

"Really... Well, it's my roommates. They insisted on spraying some on me because this perfume smells so good, and I think it's nice too. I'll ask them what brand it is later, and I'll buy you a bottle..."

Shen Xuewei nodded, suppressing a laugh, "Okay."

"Are you guys about to start playing basketball? Am I late?"

Lian Jinian led her to a spot that had been specially reserved next to the basketball court. "It hasn't started yet, we haven't started playing, there's still time."

Shen Xuewei sat down.

He then took out drinks and snacks from a bag and placed them in front of Shen Xuewei.

"Then you sit here for now, and remember to cheer me on later!"

"Okay, no problem, go ahead."

The basketball game started quickly, and Lian Jinian's performance was exceptionally outstanding.

A group of male college students ran across the court, leaving behind trails of rapid footsteps, as if their youth was burning brightly.

The stadium lights illuminated Lian Jinian's figure.

As he shot the ball, he leaped into the air, his shirt billowing in the wind, revealing two faintly visible abs.

He made a perfect three-pointer and landed lightly, drawing everyone's attention. He was practically the most dazzling presence on the court.

He didn't look at the audience around him, but instead stared at Shen Xuewei with a smug look in his eyes.

At this moment, he was quite different from his usual self.

More intense, more like a blazing fire.
