(303 has been put in the dark room, what a pity)
...
In the blink of an eye, the three-day New Year's Day holiday is over, and as the weather gets colder, universities and colleges are entering their exam week.
During this period, Lin Yanwan and Jiang Xia stayed in the school dormitory. After all, the two had a bet about a small umbrella, which was a very important matter for Jiang Xia.
With Li Weiya overseeing things at the company, he didn't need to worry too much. He only needed to manage the production progress of Slam Dunk. He would draw storyboards in the morning, review in the afternoon, and spend time with his wife in the evening. He managed to balance his career, studies, and love, and everything was progressing steadily and orderly.
After the snow cleared, the four sisters from dormitory 0a went to the library to study together. On the way, Lin Yanwan asked them with a smile how they spent New Year's Day.
"What else can we do but stay in the dorm? We're not like you, with a boyfriend who's so good to you," Cui Jiaying said casually.
"Am I not good to you?" Si Si turned to look at her.
Cui Jiaying blushed for no apparent reason and retorted, "I was talking about my boyfriend, and you're not!"
Si Si didn't say anything, but silently took her hand.
Lin Yanwan looked at the two of them and felt something was very wrong. Every few days when she returned to the dormitory, she felt that the two of them were getting closer and closer.
"Jiaying, didn't you have a crush on Su Qing before? Did you ask him out or anything during New Year's Day?"
"I just thought he was nice at first impression, but I don't like him!!!" Cui Jiaying immediately denied.
She glanced at Si Si out of the corner of her eye and found that she didn't react at all, only that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was smiling.
"If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why get so worked up?"
"I'm not excited at all!"
"Look, look, he's getting excited again. You can ask Qiuting if you don't believe me."
Qiu Ting blinked, slightly bewildered. Her gaze lingered on Cui Jiaying's face for two seconds before she nodded gently.
"Ahhhh, Qiu Ting, how could you say such a thing against your conscience!" Cui Jiaying broke free from Si Si's hand and vigorously rubbed Qiu Ting's face.
"But Jiaying, you seem really excited," Qiuting said indistinctly.
Lin Yanwan laughed unrestrainedly to the side, while Cui Jiaying, this lively character, was restrained by Qiu Ting's naivety.
"Alright, you two stop bullying Yingying." Si Si forcibly pulled Cui Jiaying's hand and separated the two.
"Waaaah, Sisi is still the best."
Lin Yanwan carefully scanned their faces. Si Si remained as calm as ever, while Cui Jiaying's eyes revealed a hint of shyness for some reason, which Lin Yanwan couldn't quite understand.
“Yanwan, you should ask Qiuting about Su Dashuai. She goes there four or five times a day. Last time, she even came back late at night wearing Su Qing’s coat. If you said they were dating, I would believe you,” Si Siping said calmly.
"Huh?!"
Qiu Ting was stunned for a moment. How did the topic suddenly turn to her? The girl from the mountains blushed instantly: "I just had to coordinate with Brother Su because of work. That time it was because it was snowing and he was afraid I would catch a cold."
Her voice grew softer and softer.
"Then why haven't I seen you always running over to Luo something-peng's place? And your coat, it's still so clean, tsk tsk." Cui Jiaying chuckled, as if she had suddenly found an outlet. She hadn't had a chance to tease Qiu Ting before, and now she had one.
Qiu Ting's breath hitched, and she stammered, suddenly unsure of what to say.
Lin Yanwan couldn't help but be curious. It had only been a short time since she had returned to the dormitory, yet it seemed that each of her sisters had their own little secrets.
"Is Qiu Ting in a relationship?"
"No, no, Sister Yanwan, don't listen to Jiaying's nonsense." Qiuting shook her head vigorously, her face still very red.
Brother Su is tall, handsome, and very gentle. As a girl from a poor, remote area, she wouldn't even dare to think about dating.
"Yanwan, look at her face, it's all red to her ears. Hmph, she's definitely hiding something. Come on, Qiuting, tell us the truth, when did you start dating the handsome Su?" Cui Jiaying chuckled and snorted a few times.
"It's normal for Qiu Ting to blush. She's not like you, a seasoned old fox," Lin Yanwan said irritably.
She knew Qiu Ting too well. The girl was introverted and would blush when talking to people she didn't know well, let alone joke around with them.
However, she has been in frequent contact with Su Qing recently.
While work-related reasons are one thing, what if there are other factors involved?
Just then, the four of them saw Su Qing walking out of the library with a book in her hand.
“Yanwan, Yanwan, look, the main character has arrived,” Cui Jiaying whispered.
"I saw it," Lin Yanwan replied softly.
Qiu Ting followed behind her three older sisters, suddenly feeling very nervous.
A dozen seconds later, the two groups finally met.
"What a coincidence, handsome Su!" Cui Jiaying greeted him casually.
"Hello, ladies," Su Qing said with a smile.
His gaze gradually shifted from Lin Yanwan to Qiu Ting. Although Lin Yanwan was the boss's wife, the two did not have a direct working relationship. Besides, Jiang Xia had said that there was no need to talk about workplace stuff at school; everyone was a classmate.
"Qiu Ting, come pick up the latest episode's artwork tonight. I should be able to finish it," Su Qing said.
"Okay, Brother Su." Qiu Ting lowered her head and spoke softly.
"What's wrong with her?" Su Qing looked at the other three, puzzled as to why Qiu Ting didn't dare to look up at him today.
"That's a question for you~" Cui Jiaying looked at Su Qing, then glanced at Qiu Ting, a hint of mockery in her voice.
"Ask me?"
Su Qing was a little confused. Could it be that Qiu Ting felt he was too eager to urge her to finish the manuscript? But that shouldn't be enough to make her feel ashamed and afraid to see him.
Everything was fine yesterday.
"Okay, Qiuting, I'll come find you after I finish drawing today, so you don't need to come over to pick it up. If it's too late, you can deliver it to the company tomorrow."
"No, no, no, Brother Su, that's not what I meant." Qiu Ting hurriedly raised her head, her face flushed. "This is my job. I won't rush you. Just keep drawing."
Seeing Qiu Ting's reaction, Cui Jiaying couldn't help but chuckle. She didn't believe Qiu Ting wasn't hiding something.
"Commander Su, what do you think of Qiu Ting?" Si Si smiled faintly.
Su Qing said, "It's great. In today's society, there are very few people with such pure hearts as her. Although she's like a devil when it comes to getting her to finish her manuscripts, you'll feel very comfortable around her after a while."
Cui Jiaying nudged Qiu Ting's arm with her elbow: "Qiu Ting, did you hear that? Handsome Su is praising you."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ting lowered her head even further.
Seeing this, Su Qing knew exactly what they were thinking, and said helplessly, "I'm telling you guys, stop teasing Qiu Ting."
Lin Yanwan was taken aback. Wasn't this what Si Si had just said in defense of Cui Jiaying?
