Chapter 2.002 Spring drowsiness makes me want to kiss! You love it too, right? ...
[Spring fatigue]: ? I'll just shout it out.
[Spring Fatigue]: Hmph, as if you've never called me wife before.
Xia Mian and her best friend Qing Lan usually call each other "wife," they've long been used to it.
Unexpectedly, today, "Qinglan" seemed like a completely different person, suddenly becoming much more aloof and reserved.
What's wrong? Did you go crazy from studying for the postgraduate entrance exam?
Xia Mian felt that something was definitely amiss.
But she calmed herself down, analyzed the situation for a while, and quickly realized:
Most likely, it's because my best friend broke her promise too quickly and didn't uninstall TikTok, making me feel embarrassed in front of her.
It's okay, it's okay...
Of course, you should be very forgiving of your best friend.
As Xia Mian was pondering, the other party threw out a cold remark.
【Valuri】: ...You've mistaken me for someone else.
Summer hibernation suddenly got angry!
[Spring fatigue]: I'm not mistaken!
It's understandable to feel embarrassed, but there's no need to pretend you don't know me.
Xia Mian regrets that when she was clearing her phone's memory a couple of days ago, she also deleted the cached chat history from Douyin. Otherwise, she could have thrown all of Qinglan's trash talk in her face right now.
Let's see if she'll still pretend.
But right now, Xia Mian was completely helpless, watching as another new message popped up.
【Valuri】: I've deleted it, please unfollow me too.
[Spring fatigue]: You dare!!!
[Spring Fatigue]: Qinglan, you're doomed if you delete me.
Xia Mian had joked with Qing Lan before.
But each time they call each other by their full names, it's a warning that things are nearing a breaking point. It usually means that the other party will back down.
She didn't know if Qinglan would continue to pretend this time, but as she stared intently at the page, at least the other party hadn't deleted her.
They are also friends on Douyin (TikTok).
Xia Mian breathed a sigh of relief and finally started to whine and act coquettishly.
[Spring fatigue]: Baby QAQ, you were so fierce and aloof today.
In case the other party doesn't know the extent, they thoughtfully add a description.
[Spring fatigue]: Just as aloof as Pei Yan.
As expected, the other person didn't mention the mistaken identity again, but instead asked her with suspicion.
【Valuri】: Is Pei Yan very aloof?
Wow, this is a question that an expert has been asked.
[Spring fatigue]: He's just so aloof, with an icy expression.
[Spring Fatigue]: Feeling indifferent to everything, with almost no intense emotions.
[Spring fatigue]: He looks preoccupied, probably because he's used to keeping everything to himself.
[Spring Fatigue]: A lone flower on a high mountain, strangers should stay away.
The other person seemed to be processing these words, and after a long while, they asked her a question.
【Valuri】: So, you dislike Pei Yan? 【Spring Slumber】: ? ? ?
[Spring Fatigue]: You, you, you! Have you lost your memory?
[Spring fatigue]: Of course I don't hate it. I've said it so many times, Pei Yan is my crush.
It's been a long time since I replied.
Just when Xia Mian thought that "Qing Lan" had put down her phone and was focusing on doing practice problems, a new message came in.
【Valuri】: I just feel that your description of him doesn't quite sound like a crush.
[Spring fatigue]: Hmm, that's because I haven't fully developed yet.
[Spring Fatigue]: Pei Yan is really good-looking; his face is naturally attractive to me.
[Valuri]: So you like his looks?
[Spring fatigue]: Of course not, I like him as a whole.
When you like someone, you like everything about them.
When I secretly glance at him, he appears perfect with a soft-focus filter.
[Spring fatigue]: Just because he doesn't usually smile doesn't mean he really can't smile.
[Spring fatigue]: I've seen him smile.
[Spring fatigue]: When he's on stage, his smile is so charming and captivating.
[Spring fatigue]: I like him so much.
[Spring Fatigue]: But he is a distant iceberg, and I would never dare to approach him in this lifetime.
[Spring fatigue]: I'll just take a look.
It's unclear whether she was trying to comfort herself by saying this. She then added a time limit.
[Spring fatigue]: Let's look at the last year.
How well does Xia Mian know Pei Yan? She goes to great lengths to find out about his recent situation, knowing that he plans to go abroad and recently rejected an offer from an academic bigwig.
Now that they're in the same university and department, they occasionally bump into each other, even though Pei Yan doesn't know her...
But at least she could sneak a few glances.
A year later, the graduates went their separate ways.
She'll stay at A University in Nancheng, but Pei Yan will probably fly off to Europe, America, or Canada...
Thinking of this, Xia Mian sighed heavily.
【Valuri】: Don't be sad.
【Valuri】: He may not be as good as you think.
Judging from this, "Qinglan" is going to comfort her again.
Xia Mian immediately stopped her and used her magic weapon to dispel all the emo.
[Spring fatigue]: I'm not sad.
[Spring Fatigue]: (Videos of handsome internet celebrities x2)
[Spring fatigue]: Hehe, let's get back to the main topic and watch two handsome men with my wife to quench our thirst.
After sending the selected videos, Xia Mian waited for a long time, but "Qing Lan" didn't respond.
This guy should just pretend to be reserved!
He appears calm on the surface, but he'll definitely open it and savor it carefully behind the scenes!
Sure enough, half an hour later, Qinglan still sent her a message, but it was on WeChat instead of Douyin.
Qinglan: "Hi~ Baby, did you miss me!"
"Not really," Xia Mian replied honestly.
We haven't talked for half an hour, what is there to think about?
"Honestly, did you watch the handsome guy video?" Xia Mian asked, not forgetting to ask about the handsome guy video.
Qinglan thought the question was about her abstaining from male sexual activity, so she answered truthfully, "I haven't watched any, not on any platform. I'm really busy."
"Yes, yes, I believe you."
Xia Mian didn't expose her friend's lie and decided to let her be stubborn.
"Mianmian, have you had dinner yet? I'm starving in the library."
Qinglan, unaware of anything amiss, revealed the real reason she was looking for Xia Mian.
Xia Mian glanced at the time; it was indeed almost lunchtime. She was exhausted from those two hours in the lab that afternoon and had so much to complain about to Qinglan.
So he directly suggested a meal: "No, let's go to Jinyuan."
Jinyuan is right next to the library, and Xia Mian's student apartment is also not far from Jinyuan.
Since the beginning of last semester, whenever Qinglan went to the library to study, the two of them would meet for meals at Jinyuan, which had practically become their little base.
Before leaving, Xia Mian checked the keys in her pocket several times.
She lived in a four-person dormitory, and two of her roommates went to do internships at big companies. It was said that the opportunity was very rare, so they specially rented a place nearby for this purpose and paid for substitutes to attend classes.
Another roommate, like Qinglan, is preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. During the day, if she doesn't have classes, she doesn't stay in the dormitory for long and disappears early in the morning.
So, in the four-person dorm, only two people actually lived there in the senior year, and during the day, only Xia Mian lived there alone.
But she didn't feel lonely at all; on the contrary, she was quite content and thought that the quiet dormitory was nice.
When Xia Mian arrived at the entrance of Jinyuan, Qinglan had already arrived ahead of her.
The two followed the flow of people inside, passing through the sea of people in the cafeteria. Seeing that there were too many people, Qinglan told Xia Mian, who was socially awkward, to find two empty seats first and sit down in peace.
Qinglan herself grabbed two meal cards and rushed off to buy their shared favorite Cantonese roast meat rice.
In the crowd, Xia Mian spent quite a while before finding an empty seat and hurriedly sitting down, then quickly placed Qinglan's bag on the chair opposite her.
This location was quite far from the window Qinglan had gone to, and when Qinglan brought over with two bowls of rice, she couldn't find the place at all.
Xia Mian turned her head and waved to Qinglan. Seeing her blank look, she knew that Qinglan had seen things wrong, so she called out, "Qinglan."
The noisy cafeteria instantly drowned out her shouts.
Not used to speaking loudly in public, Xia Mian had to muster her courage and raise her voice: "...Qinglan!"
The sound was heard by everyone sitting within a ten-meter radius.
Xia Mian immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, as if she wanted to disappear into the ground.
Fortunately, Qinglan heard it and successfully found a seat, walking over here.
"Wow, did you see that just now?!" Qinglan exclaimed excitedly as she sat down.
Xia Mian, who had raised both arms to cover her face, slowly raised her eyes and asked in a low voice, "What?"
Qinglan smiled and said, "Pei Yan glanced at you."
"What?" Xia Mian froze.
“When you called me, Pei Yan walked past me and then turned back to look at you,” Qinglan said thoughtfully. “He seemed to look at you for several seconds.”
"He...he was probably surprised that someone could have such a loud voice..."
Xia Mian closed her eyes, not daring to look up again, feeling the awkward atmosphere of being watched by everyone enveloping her once more.
"Don't be afraid, he's already gone." Qinglan moved one of the plates of Cantonese roast meat rice towards Xia Mian and comforted her, "It wasn't necessarily because he was surprised by the loud voice, maybe he was amazed by your beauty?"
Xia Mian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Pei Yan had left.
She looked up at Qinglan with a hint of despair: "...Are you sure?"
Qinglan turned around and carefully looked at her best friend whom she hadn't seen for a summer vacation.
Just got back from the lab. Xia Mian didn't even spend an hour in her dorm. She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and pink plaid wide-leg pants, without any makeup, her face completely bare.
"Although it's a bit simple..." Qinglan commented objectively, "it's really beautiful."
In Qinglan's view, the beauty of summer hibernation lies in "a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without any artifice."
She is natural and refreshing, with beautiful doe eyes that are so clean they seem untouched by dust. She is ethereal and lovely, like the cutest little elf.
She has naturally fair skin, like a freshly peeled lotus root. Her skin is so good that every time you see her, you want to gently pinch it.
"Not only are you beautiful, but you also have an exceptionally good character and outstanding grades." Qinglan praised you generously, then changed the subject, "With all these qualities, do you think Pei Yan would refuse you if you went to pursue him?"
"Shh!"
As soon as Qinglan raised her voice and mentioned Pei Yan, Xia Mian was so frightened that she frantically gave her meaningful glances.
Xia Mian, what a coward.
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it again."
Qinglan didn't mention Pei Yan again, but instead talked about the hardships of memorizing for the postgraduate entrance exam in Chinese Language and Literature, and mentioned for the nth time a whole bunch of wishes after passing the exam.
Xia Mian had mixed feelings about the meal.
As far as she knew, Pei Yan's student apartment was far from Jinyuan, and he rarely came over.
But by sheer coincidence, she ran into Pei Yan at Jinyuan on the first day of school.
Even though she hadn't had a chance to look at him.
After dinner, I said goodbye to Qinglan and returned to my dormitory.
Xia Mian had just finished writing her lab report when she got overwhelmed by the experimental data, so she took a break and started scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).
Unexpectedly, "Qinglan" sent her a private message on Douyin.
【Valuri】: I watched the video.
Hehe, she knew "Qinglan" wouldn't be able to hold back and would just quit acting altogether~
[Spring Sleepiness]: Isn't he handsome?!
[Spring fatigue]: I feel like a little kitten, I want to kiss it!
[Spring Fatigue]: You love it too, right? Share your thoughts after watching!
She and Qinglan always shared the same aesthetic; every time she sent Qinglan a video of a handsome guy, Qinglan would shower her with compliments.
And Qinglan's response was incredibly fast!
Unexpectedly, this time, "Qinglan" responded slowly, sending a message several minutes later.
【Valuri】: Not love.
【Valuri】: Generally speaking.
