Chapter 3 Campus Goddess White Moonlight 3 Girlfriend

The next day, Wen Qianning walked into the teaching building and spotted Ji Hanlin at the stairs.

She arrived early and there was no one around.

So the girl trotted a few steps to catch up with him and called out to him softly, "Ji Hanlin!"

However, the cold young man turned his head and looked at her. That look was so indifferent that it was almost as if he was looking at a stranger.

He didn't respond, nor did he stay for long, but just glanced past her and walked past her without stopping.

It's like I don't know her at all.

Wen Qianning stood there in a daze.

…

For some reason, the girl's misty eyes always appeared in his mind, making him uneasy.

Ever since he sent her home that day, he decided to avoid her at school. No matter what she said, he was determined to pretend not to hear it.

In this way, the delicate girl will probably give up on her own in a few days.

But he couldn't help but wonder if he had gone too far... He had seen her lonely look.

But he didn't dare to get close.

She was so bright, as if she came from another world, a world he never had and could not participate in.

He told himself that it was right to stay away from her, but he kept thinking, would she be sad? Would this hurt her too much?

After all, I'm afraid that the girl is just in a momentary mood and will leave when she gets tired of it.

Feeling confused, Ji Hanlin came to a corner of the library. His eyes fell on the pages, but he did not turn them for a long time.

The sound of brisk footsteps in the distance interrupted his thoughts.

"Let's just sit here."

It was Wen Qianning's voice.

He paused subconsciously and looked quietly through the gap in the bookshelf.

At another seat, the familiar girl was standing next to a handsome boy. She smiled and placed a book in front of him, her tone even a little coquettish, "Yan Jiayue, I've read this book before. I don't think it will be too boring for you."

She had a curved brow, bright eyes, and a slight smile on her lips.

The boy she called "Yan Jiayue" took the book with a smile and said, "Have you read it? Then I'm relieved. I'll ask you if I don't understand something later."

Wen Qianning naturally pulled out the chair next to her and sat down, then took out a pen and a box of milk from her bag and placed them next to his desk.

"Here, don't drink coffee all the time." The girl's voice was soft and caring. "Remember, the last time you had stomach discomfort, it was because you drank too much."

Ji Hanlin stood behind the bookshelf, and suddenly felt an inexplicable depression in his heart.

He suddenly felt a little ridiculous. After being cold to her, he was still afraid that she would be sad and cry.

But now it seems that he is just a person who was casually tested... There is not so much persistence in her eyes, nor is she as serious as he thought.

Wen Qianning didn't know that Ji Hanlin was also in the library. She only knew that after being treated coldly by the male protagonist last time, there was no further follow-up, but she did not give up.

If you can't get close to Ji Hanlin, you can't get the necklace required for the great adventure, and it will be difficult to continue to develop the plot of the novel.

During the last activity class, Ji Hanlin was called in by the Student Union to move teaching aids, saying they were urgently needed by a certain club. Slender and tall, he walked towards the equipment room, his back aloof, as he carried a cardboard box.

Wen Qianning stared at his departing back with sparkling eyes and followed him quietly.

Ji Hanlin walked straight towards the gymnasium equipment room, not noticing the girl quietly following him from a distance. Her steps were so light that her soft-soled leather shoes made almost no sound as they stepped on the ground.

The equipment room was a small building in a remote corner of the school. It was empty at this time. Normally, the teachers were on break, and the only people inside were students cleaning or moving props. Ji Hanlin entered quickly and briskly, leaving the door ajar. Wen Qianning took the opportunity to sneak in.

When he walked into the equipment room, he didn't hear the subtle footsteps behind him. After placing the prop box on the shelf, he turned around and went to get the mat from the storage cabinet next door.

Wen Qianning was staring at his back in a daze. She raised her hand unconsciously and accidentally touched the iron handle on the door.

With a "click", the door closed.

The two were stunned almost at the same time.

"Who?" Ji Hanlin frowned and turned around, only to see the girl at the door standing there like a child who had done something wrong, her eyes wide open.

"…Why are you here?"

She lowered her head and said nervously, "I, I was just passing by."

"Equipment room?" He glanced over coldly. "Just passing by?"

Wen Qianning bit her lip and said, "I...I'll help you move the things."

Ji Hanlin ignored her, took a step forward, and went to push the door, but found that the door could not be opened.

“…” He tried twice, but the door handle was stuck because the old door spring was broken. After locking it, he had to open it from the outside.

"Locked?" Her voice trailed off.

"Um."

Just now, her elbow hit the door handle, and the old equipment room door lock had some problems. It would get stuck if pushed lightly.

"I didn't mean it..." Wen Qianning lowered her eyelashes, feeling a little guilty.

The equipment room wasn't large, but it was cluttered with sports equipment, and the air was a bit dusty. Light slanted down from a small window high up, casting a silhouette behind Ji Hanlin.

She stood beside him and asked softly, "Still can't open it?"

"Yeah." Ji Hanlin didn't look up, but lowered his head to fiddle with his phone. He simply responded, "The door handle is broken. I've asked the teacher to come and unlock it, but we'll have to wait a while."

"Oh." Wen Qianning responded softly, but her heart beat faster.

The space was small, and the boy was standing not far away. She could even smell the refreshing fragrance on him, a scent she had never smelled on anyone else. Wen Qianning bit her lip and said nothing. She quietly walked over and sat down on the cushion.

She sat on the cushion, hugging her knees, and was silent for a while before asking sullenly, "Ji Hanlin, do you hate me?"

Ji Hanlin turned around and glanced at her, his eyes darkening a bit. He didn't want to pay attention to her. He still remembered the scene in the library clearly...

Wen Qianning and that Yan Jiayue smiled so naturally. It was obvious that she was ignored by him, so why did she look unaffected, while he was the one who was affected?

However, when he really faced this aggrieved girl, he couldn't say a single harsh word: "What do I hate about you?"

Wen Qianning tilted her head, her watery eyes fixed on him: "Have I... caused you any trouble?"

"No." He looked away. It wasn't that he was troubled, it was just that... the delicate little princess was a little hard to deal with. She hadn't had much sincerity herself, yet she was trying to trap him. How could that make sense?

"Don't you hate me?" The girl couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, but she quickly pursed her lips, still unable to hide her smile. Her eyes were full of uncontrollable joy. "Well, can I ask you a question... Is there a chance for me to date you? I want to be your girlfriend."

Ji Hanlin was visibly stunned by Wen Qianning's question. It's not like he had never been confessed to before, but she was the first one to openly and unabashedly ask him to be his girlfriend.

And didn't she feel that he was ignoring her intentionally or unintentionally? Why was he so bold and could confess to him as if nothing had happened?

Ji Hanlin felt complicated. Looking at the girl who approached him with sparkling eyes and said she wanted to be his girlfriend, he really couldn't bring himself to say no.

He didn't know what he was thinking at the moment. He had never had such an experience before, but he also vaguely understood... He was definitely not indifferent, and he was even a little inexplicably happy?

When the boy in front of him didn't respond for a long time, Wen Qianning buried her head in her knees in frustration: "I knew you were just trying to comfort me. You really hate me, don't you?"

"..." Ji Hanlin helplessly held her shoulders and said to her patiently, "No one should find you annoying, right? I don't think so either."

He meant what he said. A girl like Wen Qianning, no one could possibly dislike her. She had a naturally alluring face and knew how to soften people's hearts. Even he was no exception. Even after seeing her so intimate with another boy, even if it was possible she just wanted to play around with him, he... didn't dislike Wen Qianning.

Ji Hanlin's tone remained unhurried, his eyes lowered, but his words gradually became more rational: "But I think you need to think it through."

"Your feelings for me..." He paused, as if weighing his words, "Maybe it's not love."

He didn't want to say it too harshly, nor did he want to hurt her, but he had to calm her down. "I know. Maybe when you fainted, I took you to the infirmary, and you developed some feelings for me. That's normal. But I don't think it's love, so... I won't take what you said to me today seriously."

"Besides, maybe you have this feeling towards other boys too. I'm not the only one."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at her, waiting for her to speak, or perhaps he had also imagined that this delicate girl would turn around and leave angrily.

But unexpectedly, Wen Qianning didn't say anything. The girl was wearing a clean school uniform, her skirt neatly arranged, and she sat with a hint of pride and stubbornness. She just stared at him, her eyelashes trembling, and then, as if making a decision, she suddenly took a step forward and awkwardly threw herself into his arms.

Ji Hanlin instinctively reached out to block it, but was half a second too late. She suddenly slammed into his chest, her small hands climbing onto his shoulders, and her whole body pressed against him.

"Hey, you--" Before he could finish his words, her soft lips came up to him, gently pressing against the corner of his lips, with a little tentativeness, even a little panic in the touch.

At that moment, he was stunned.

Wen Qianning kissed Ji Hanlin haphazardly, not daring to look at him. After kissing him for a long time, she finally let him go, biting her lip and rubbing it carefully, as if trying to confirm something from his silence.

"Why do you think you understand my feelings better than I do?" Wen Qianning leaned in close, her heart beating like a drum, and spoke very softly and slowly, "What if I say that I've wanted this since the first time I saw you?"

Then, she carefully rubbed her head against his chin, with an intimate and flattering look. Ji Hanlin's Adam's apple moved slightly, but he didn't shy away. He only felt his heart beating rapidly.

"Good impression?" She looked up at him with a bit of grievance in her eyes. "I also have a good impression of my classmates, but I never want to be as close to them as I am to you."

The girl clung to him tightly and continued to whisper, "If someone else had taken me to the infirmary, I would definitely... not want to kiss them."

Ji Hanlin lowered his eyes and looked at her, without moving or making a sound, his eyes were deep and unfathomable.

"I know very well that this is more than just a liking." Wen Qianning whispered, "I can tell what liking is."

She was still in his arms, her little face too close, her breath falling on his neck, dense and hot.

Ji Hanlin closed his eyes and reached out to hold the back of her head.

"You'll regret this." He spoke in a low, hoarse voice, his eyes fixed on her bright little face. "I'm not the person you think I am."

"I can't." Wen Qianning looked up at him, trying her best to make her eyes look sincere.

"That's what you said."

His voice was soft, like a low, magnetic voice. Before Wen Qianning could understand what he meant, the young man leaned over and placed his lips on the spot where she had timidly touched him, no longer restraining himself.

Ji Hanlin's hand went from her waist to her back, holding her tighter and pulling her into his embrace. She seemed startled, her small hand clutching the corner of his clothes, but she didn't retreat.

As he held the back of her head and leaned over to kiss her, there was actually a bit of self-mockery in his mind.

If she didn't really like him, then he wouldn't take it seriously, but since she wanted to play, he would play with her to the end...

Even though he always prided himself on being sober and self-controlled, Ji Hanlin had to admit that at one point, he was easily seduced by Wen Qianning.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door. It was the physical education teacher coming to look for props.

"Student Ji, are you in there? Why is it locked?"

Wen Qianning stood up suddenly, her heart pounding wildly, and she almost bumped into the equipment rack. Ji Hanlin reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her up from the mat. He said calmly, "The lock is stuck."

A few minutes later, the door was finally opened by the physical education teacher.

"This course has been around for years, it's time to fix it..." the PE teacher complained. Seeing other students inside, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. "Huh? Why are there other students?"

"We were locked out accidentally." Ji Hanlin had returned to his usual cold and indifferent look, as if the ambiguity just now had never existed.

Wen Qianning followed behind him, but couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth. He suddenly stopped, glanced at her sideways, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

When they were almost at the entrance of the teaching building, Ji Hanlin suddenly stopped and said, "I'll take you back to the classroom."

Wen Qianning was stunned and immediately shook her head: "No need, I can walk back by myself."

His brows furrowed slightly: "What?"

"I just... don't want to be seen by others." She bit her lip and whispered aggrievedly.

In the original story, Bai Yueguang made no secret of her relationship with the male protagonist. This caused the male protagonist to inexplicably attract the hatred of many of Bai Yueguang's admirers. After Bai Yueguang dumped him, these admirers humiliated and ridiculed the male protagonist, causing him to suffer serious damage because of this relationship.

As a person who traveled through the book, Wen Qianning did not want to hurt the hero in this way. She had been thinking of a way to complete the task while minimizing the harm to the hero.

Therefore, she didn't want others to know that she and Ji Hanlin were together. After all, when it came time for her to break up and trample on his feelings according to the plot, the fewer people who knew, the less impact it would have on him.

Looking at her like this, he suddenly sneered and said coldly: "You don't think that just because I kissed you, we are still just ordinary classmates, do you?"

Wen Qianning looked up at him, and the next second, she stood on tiptoe, leaned close to his ear, and said coquettishly, "I know, I'm your girlfriend."

Ji Hanlin's Adam's apple moved: "Of course."

She grabbed his sleeve and shook it, trying to comfort him, "But I really don't want others to see us. They might say something."

Ji Hanlin lowered his eyes and looked at her without saying anything for a moment, as if he understood something.

As expected...she was just playing around.

She wants to hide it? Fine, it's not a serious matter anyway.

Seeing him silent, she felt anxious. She gently pulled at the corner of his clothes and said, "Ji Hanlin, I'm not denying you... I just don't want so many irrelevant people to know about our relationship."

"It's up to you." He already felt this way and didn't insist anymore.
