"—Ji Qingqian!"
Ma Jiaojiao, who was still playing games on the lower bunk, went to open the door for Chu Chu and was greeted with a sharp scream from her.
They almost sent Ma Jiaojiao away.
Ma Jiaojiao warned:
"Watch out, they might attack from across the street!!"
Chu Chu:…
"—Ji Qingqian."
Chu Chu finally lowered her voice, which was quite displeased.
Ji Qingqian was already in bed. She looked up at Chu Chu.
"...?"
"Senior Lu is waiting for you downstairs."
Ji Qingqian: "...!?"
"I ran into him on my way back... What bad luck." Chu Chu couldn't help but grin.
Ji Qingqian remained silent, but had already taken out her phone.
[Qingqian: Are you downstairs?]
[Abei: Hmm.]
Ji Qingqian was somewhat surprised after quickly receiving an affirmative answer:
"It turns out they weren't lying."
Chu Chu: "...Why would I lie to you?"
Ji Qingqian thought for a moment and said, "You're bad."
Chu Chu: "Damn it, you and Senior Lu both have WeChat. Do you think I can fool you with this lie that's so easy to expose? Ji Qingqian, you're not that stupid in my eyes!"
Ji Qingqian thought for a moment and said, "But you're really that bad."
Chu Chu: "...Waaaaaah!"
If she could beat Ji Qingqian, she definitely would have done so by now!
However, after receiving her boyfriend's answer, Ji Qingqian stopped talking to Chu Chu.
Instead, she sent messages while getting dressed.
[Qingqian: I'm already asleep]
[Abei: Oh, sorry]
[Abei: See you next time then]
【Qingqian: !】
[Qingqian: I just got up.]
[Abei: ...I'm sorry]
Ji Qingqian tilted her head. Looking at the message Lu Yibei sent, she felt that her boyfriend's mood was a bit off, so she quickly put on her sweater.
He then threw on his beige coat, quickly opened the door, and ran downstairs in his slippers.
Before Ma Jiaojiao could even fully immerse herself in the journey of Pelican Town again, she saw Ji Qingqian's retreating figure as she walked out the door:
"What's wrong with her?"
Chu Chu shook her head.
Ma Jiaojiao glanced again at the roses and milk tea in Chu Chu's hand:
"…What’s wrong with you?"
Chu Chu casually sat down in her chair, a hint of arrogance in her expression:
"I'm so popular, someone confessed their feelings to me!"
"The one you played games with before?"
"right."
"And then what happened?" Ma Jiaojiao asked.
"I rejected you~" Chu Chu continued arrogantly.
Wang Jue, who was lying in bed chatting with Chen Wei, had also perked up her ears. After hearing this, she leaned down and asked in confusion:
"Why? Don't you like it? Don't you always say you want to be in a relationship?"
Chu Chu narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous aura reminiscent of a carnivore:
"Because I'm a notoriously bad woman, I play with them and then throw them away~"
Ma Jiaojiao glanced at her friend and asked casually:
"Did you say the same thing to Senior Lu?"
Ma Jiaojiao knew exactly what was going on.
The boy who played games with Chu Chu knows Senior Lu, and they must have talked about it on their way back together.
Chu Chu:…
"Why don't you dare say that to Senior Lu?" Ma Jiaojiao said with a hint of disdain.
Chu Chu: "...Th-that thing."
"Still a bad woman."
Ma Jiaojiao continued her attack: "If you, with your pig brain, can be a bad woman, then the level of a bad woman is too low."
Chu Chu: "Hey! Ma Jiaojiao—"
Ma Jiaojiao, however, pulled Chu Chu's head close and gently stroked the top of her head:
"Alright, alright, you're no bad woman at all."
The only bad thing is that it's a lie.
They constantly say they want to be in a relationship, but when love comes along, they reject it.
But Chu Chu only called out to them a couple of times; the others didn't come because they knew she wanted to be in a relationship.
At most, it's just a lie to those roommates.
Others would rather be fooled than be fooled.
"Rejecting a boy you don't like isn't bad, and you don't need to feel sorry for him."
Ma Jiaojiao said softly.
She felt that this wasn't the only thing making Chu Chu uncomfortable; the girl seemed to have something on her mind.
However, Chu Chu didn't say anything, and Ma Jiaojiao wouldn't pry, so she only comforted her with the obvious facts.
Chu Chu remained silent.
She closed her eyes in Ma Jiaojiao's arms, and it seemed as if she could see the school uniform hem being blown up by the wind, and the ripples of the sea waves.
The memories did indeed make Chu Chu feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Ma Jiaojiao was gentle enough, whether it was her gentle stroking hand, her comforting voice, or her chest...
Chu Chu felt the waves of emotion washing over her cheeks, and then paused slightly.
"—Let me go!"
"It's alright, it's alright..." Ma Jiaojiao continued to laugh.
"Let me go!"
Chu Chu felt insulted!
…
Lu Yibei stood at the entrance of the girls' dormitory for a while, and then he saw his girlfriend peeking out.
"...Ah Bei?"
She also saw the boy outside the door and immediately ran over a few steps.
Ji Qingqian complained somewhat:
"Why did you suddenly..."
Before he could finish speaking, the boy, without any apparent reason, opened his arms and embraced the girl's slender body.
Ji Qingqian was startled:
"Abei... what's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
Although the girl was a little startled, she did not push her boyfriend away. Instead, she put her hands through his arms and hugged his back tightly.
