"No, you go first..."
After a brief exchange of polite words, Ma Jiaojiao spoke first.
She scratched her soft cheek with her fingers:
"Um... senior, we should be in a romantic relationship now, right...?"
“…It should be,” Zhao Sun said.
"But... even so, I've never shared a room with a boy before. Don't let my appearance fool you, if we were to share a room, I might be too nervous to sleep..." Ma Jiaojiao said softly.
Zhao Sun: ...
"Besides, we've only just started dating, and if things move too fast, I'll feel really uncomfortable... Wow, doesn't that sound a bit like a bad woman? But, it's true... Ah, how should I put it... I really like you, but I... uh..."
Ma Jiaojiao hesitated, wanting to express her true feelings. But perhaps due to self-awareness and fear of being misunderstood by Zhao Xun, Ma Jiaojiao felt that she was making excuses no matter how she listened.
"...Um, senior, do you understand?"
Zhao Xun not only understood, he completely understood.
But, did this big girl misunderstand something...?
His face turned bright red:
"Who, who wants to sleep with you?! I'm the one who was about to say that—"
...It's as if he insisted on sleeping with her and taking advantage of her!
He's such a tough guy!
After saying that, Zhao Xun felt that his words seemed a bit harsh, as if he disliked the big girl.
He paused for a moment, then said:
"...You're right, that's what I think too...Let's take it slow."
"But next time you have something you want to say, don't hesitate like this, just tell me directly."
"I've never been in a relationship, and you've met bad guys. Neither of us are experts, so it would be terrible if we misunderstood each other because of a lack of clarity."
“If you do something wrong, I will tell you; if I do something wrong, you can scold me too—you don’t have to hold it in or try to compromise.”
"...Okay, that's it."
Ma Jiaojiao was taken aback; she could see it in Zhao Sun's eyes.
When he said "compromise," he was clearly thinking of some bad memories.
Ma Jiaojiao also remembered.
The rain that fell in the men's dormitory at that time.
It's a bad memory for everyone.
But even though things weren't great, they still led to them getting to know each other.
Ma Jiaojiao's eyes were wet. She nodded and gave a heavy "Mmm".
"Then I'll tell you now..."
"Speak."
"Give me one last hug before you go up."
"...But you fucking aren't allowed to carry me again!!"
This is so incredibly embarrassing!!
…
Ma Jiaojiao wrapped her arm around Ji Qingqian's and rested her head on her shoulder. The two of them were all lovey-dovey as they headed to the room.
Ji Qingqian had already entered the door.
But then, as if remembering something, she leaned back with her supple waist and waved her little hand at Lu Yibei outside:
Goodnight, Abei.
Lu Yibei smiled and said, "Yes, sweet dreams."
Ji Qing pursed her lips and hummed in agreement.
Little Ma hopped out, but before she could even speak, Zhao Xun waved his hand:
"See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow~~~" Ma Jiaojiao said.
Lu Yibei: ...
He looked at Ma Jiaojiao.
Ma Jiaojiao has already closed down.
Then look at Zhao Xun, who has turned around.
"No, what's wrong with you guys?" He sensed something was amiss.
Zhao Xun's hand was already pressing on the door: "Are you coming in or not? If not, I'll close the door."
“Something’s not right—what exactly did you do outside?” Lu Yibei asked again.
Zhao Xun rolled her eyes: "I'm going to sleep."
Lu Yibei: ...
Not a buddy.
What important plot point did he miss this time?
