"...Then what should I do now?" Wang Jue asked softly.
"Do you like him or not?" Ma Jiaojiao asked in a soft voice.
Wang Jue shook her head vigorously: "...I...I don't know."
"impossible."
The person who interrupted her this time was Ji Qingqian, who said with a confident look: "'Liking' and 'disliking' are two completely different feelings, it's impossible not to know that."
As for other matters, Ji Qingqian may not know, and she shouldn't comment.
But Ji Qingqian understood the feeling of "liking" all too well.
Just thinking about Ah Bei makes me happier than usual.
Seeing Ah Bei makes me want to smile.
Holding his hand, you'll be enveloped in a soft, tender feeling, and you'll wish you could lean right against him.
When I kiss him, my heart beats several beats faster than usual, as if honey is flowing from my heart into my mouth.
These are the things I like.
Ji Qingqian spoke with such certainty, as if she were forcing Wang Jue to choose between "yes" and "no".
While Wang Jue was frightened, he subconsciously dared not run away and began to question himself.
She didn't actually have any special feelings for Chen Wei.
…I just felt that he did a good job as class monitor and was very dedicated.
In fact, he was quite caring during military training.
Whenever someone in the class fainted, he would carry them to the infirmary—except for Chu Chu.
When Chu Chu fainted, Ji Qingqian acted so quickly that even Chen Wei couldn't react in time.
But to say "like"...
Wang Jue felt it hadn't come to that point yet... right? Probably not.
However, if the class monitor really said things like, "She looks so cute in Hanfu," and "Her eyes shine brightly," then…
Wang Jue could still feel that her heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.
…For many insecure children, simply receiving affirmation from others can earn them a certain degree of goodwill.
Wang Jue lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, wanting to say something, but unable to utter a word.
But Ma Jiaojiao already understood her thoughts.
The former smiled slightly:
"Let's see how things go. Anyway, the class monitor said he just wants to start as friends with you. He's not going to confess right away or force you to give him a title or anything..."
The rather melancholic word "status" seemed quite out of place with Chen Wei's dark face and robust physique.
Wang Jue laughed unconsciously, and then she said:
"But the class monitor and I aren't actually that close. Maybe he just misunderstood something... If he spends more time with me, won't he be disappointed?"
"Oh."
Ma Jiaojiao joked, "You haven't even figured out whether you like someone or not, yet you're so considerate of others?"
Wang Jue stopped laughing.
She lowered her eyes again and pouted slightly.
"So what if I'm disappointed? What else can I do?"
Ma Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Whether people are compatible or not can't be determined by just thinking or observing; you can only understand after spending time together. But, Juejue, don't be afraid of disappointing others by deliberately going against your nature to do things they like. If you do that, you'll only become the person they imagine, not the 'real you,' do you understand?"
“…Understood.” Wang Jue nodded.
Seeing her roommate nodding cautiously like a soldier, Ma Jiaojiao burst out laughing again:
"It's just dating... and you two haven't even started dating yet, don't make it seem like a huge mess. Ji Qingqian, don't you want to say something?"
Ma Jiaojiao looked at Ji Qingqian.
Ji Qingqian was typing on her phone.
She sent Lu Yibei a "cat punching" emoji.
Lu Yibei replied with "Rabbit hugging its head and crying: No, I can't stand this injustice."
Ji Qingqian didn't use emoticons much before, but after Abei started dating, she gradually started collecting cute emoticons to send to him.
I feel like other girlfriends use this when they're chatting and being affectionate with their boyfriends.
And as a proper girlfriend, she naturally had to use it too.
Just as Ji Qingqian was marveling at her own remarkable progress, she suddenly realized that the emojis her boyfriend sent were even cuter and more adorable than her own!
Ji Qingqian sent a "Panda head: Bro, you smell so good" message.
Then he heard Ma Jiaojiao looking at him.
She didn't have much to say at first, but as one of only two in the dorm to be in a relationship...
And she's the kind of girl who dated the best guy in the world, Abei. Ji Qingqian felt she needed to share some experience with Wang Jue:
"Don't hold hands when you can kiss..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ma Jiaojiao covered her mouth:
"Alright, alright, just say less."
Ma Jiaojiao then said to Wang Jue:
"Just do what you should do, accept when you should accept, and refuse when you should refuse... Don't worry too much about anything. If the other person makes you feel bad, you should say it. If the other person has good points that make you happy, you should praise them more... In the process of getting along, it is easy to feel whether the other person really likes you, or whether you like the other person."
Wang Jue seemed to understand, but not completely. She didn't ask any more questions. She understood, just as Ma Jiaojiao said, that some things will become clear naturally after experiencing them.
"Jiaojiao, you live life so clearly..."
Wang Jue admired her, feeling that she could never be as generous, natural, and reasonable as Ma Jiaojiao.
However, after hearing Wang Jue's praise, Ma Jiaojiao paused awkwardly, and even her smile became inexplicably dry.
"...Haha, many people understand this principle..."
