Yin Ming's recent behavior seems a bit off.

Shi Yun was the first to notice this situation.

"No, what's the meaning of you spending all your time on the phone every night?"

They lived in a two-person apartment. Although there were usually fewer people, at least the two of them, being single, could play games together and it wasn't so boring.

But now, Yin Ming has abandoned his former comrade-in-arms and is spending all his time making phone calls to people he doesn't even know!

Shi Yun had reached his limit and naturally no longer needed to tolerate it!

Yin Ming blushed, raised his hand to remove one of his earphones, and whispered to Shi Yun, "Keep your voice down, or he'll hear you."

"Ta? Male or female? You better confess, kid." Seeing Yin Ming's nervous expression, Shi Yun's gossip spirit immediately ignited.

Yin Ming's face flushed even more suspiciously. He turned away from Shi Yun with his back to her, his eyes darting around, before saying, "It's nothing. You should go do what you need to do."

"Oh, so mysterious." Shi Yun turned around and pretended to walk away, but actually took advantage of Yin Ming's inattention and snatched his phone away. "Then I'll see who you're talking to on the phone!"

Hey, that jerk's definitely going to do something awful today!

"Is it Zhou Ning from the Literature Department? Or Lin Yangyang from the Dance Department?" Shi Yun muttered to himself. He remembered that both of these girls had expressed their affection for Yin Ming.

But when the name 'Ling Yue' came into view, Shi Yun was completely dumbfounded.

Even worse, because his grabbing motion was too forceful, and because Yin Ming was constantly pulling on him, the headphone cable plugged into the phone was pulled out.

Then a pleasant and gentle male voice clearly entered Shi Yun's ears, "What's wrong on your end?"

"Hehe, we were just... joking around. Hello, senior. Goodbye, senior!"

Shi Yun quickly shoved the phone back into Yin Ming's hand and fled the dormitory as if escaping.

He was wrong! He shouldn't have done something so foolish!

***

After shivering in the cold wind for half an hour, Shi Yun could no longer bear it, so he mustered his courage and crept furtively to the door to listen carefully to the sounds coming from inside the dormitory.

After confirming that there had been no sound from inside for a long time, Shi Yun cautiously opened the door a crack and said in a gentle voice:

"Ah Ming, have you finished your call?"

Yin Ming was sitting at his computer desk. Hearing the voice, he replied without turning his head, "Yeah, I'm done."

Shi Yun breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and closed the door, then asked somewhat nervously, "Um, Senior Ling didn't ask me anything just now, did he?"

Yin Ming shook his head, then turned to glance at him. "What, are you so afraid of Senior Ling?"

"Ugh, don't even mention it. I'm currently submitting my resume to their lab, and Senior Ling is one of the interviewers. I can't leave a bad impression on him before the interview even starts."

Shi Yun found a piece of clothing to put on, and only then did she feel like she had come back to life.

I was outside in freezing cold for half an hour, and I was almost frozen stiff. This is really not something a human should have to endure!

Yin Ming was scrolling through his mouse when he heard this and casually reassured him, "Senior Ling is a good person, he won't make things difficult for you, don't worry."

Hearing him speak so confidently, Shi Yun crossed his arms and walked over to Yin Ming, swaying back and forth.

"How can you be so sure that Senior Ling won't make things difficult for me? You said he's a really nice person. What have you two been talking about these past few days? Tell me the truth."

"..." Yin Ming's response to him was silence.

Seeing that he was ignoring her, Shi Yun pretended to go over and see what Yin Ming was doing, but then she remembered that the reason she had almost turned into an ice sculpture was because she insisted on looking at his phone...

Shi Yun immediately shivered and straightened his half-bent back.

"You're ignoring me? What are you looking at?"

Yin Ming shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Come and take a look?"

Seeing his appearance, Shi Yun became even more frightened and shook his head vigorously, saying, "No, no."

If he sees anything he shouldn't, he'll just cut it off.

If you can't afford to mess with him, you might as well avoid him!

Yin Ming expressed his disdain for his immediate cowardice, tsk, what a gossipy and timid guy.

"I've never heard of Senior Ling proactively giving anyone his contact information. He still chats with you frequently. Do you think he might be...?" Shi Yun couldn't help but add another comment.

Yin Ming looked up and slowly smiled at him, but his eyes were full of warning.

Shi Yun chuckled knowingly and rolled onto his bed, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll shut up."

Yin Ming shook his head helplessly, truly impressed by this guy.

He was lost in thought, and after making a few phone calls, he assumed that Yin Ming and Ling Yue were having an affair.

If you don't understand, just ask. Is Shi Yun's brain full of useless information?

However, after they exchanged contact information that day, Ling Yue would chat with him from time to time, and Yin Ming took the opportunity to ask him some questions about the interview and work.

After all, Yin Ming was preparing to look for a job, and his major was related to Ling Yue's current job. He would ask about anything he didn't understand so that he would have a clear understanding and wouldn't panic too much.

Furthermore, his blushing earlier was due to embarrassment, not shyness or any other guilty feeling. Shi Yun was completely overthinking it; Yin Ming at most only considered Ling Yue as a friend.

When Ling Yue contacted him, they talked about perfectly normal topics; maybe he was just bored.

Besides, they've only known each other for a few days. Is a few days enough to get to know someone before they start saying whether they like them or not?

Regardless of whether Ling Yue has those kinds of feelings for him, even if he does, Yin Ming wouldn't accept it.

He only loves Lingyao, and no one can replace him.

Even if they look alike, it won't work.
