When Jiang Hua was logging off the game, she accidentally saw Liu Yun's name in her contacts and suddenly remembered that Xiang Yu hadn't logged into the game in a long time.
"Xin Xin, have you seen Xiang Yu these past few days?"
Ji Kexin was applying a face mask when she heard Jiang Hua's words, and her hand inexplicably trembled.
"We...are dating."
Jiang Hua jumped up with a start, staring in disbelief: "Really? You and Xiang Yu!"
Ji Kexin lowered her eyes and nodded.
Although she knew Jiang Hua wasn't interested in Xiang Yu, she still instinctively replied when Jiang Hua asked about Xiang Yu.
Jiang Hua still knew what Ji Kexin was worried about, so she didn't say anything but took out her phone and dialed Xiang Yu's number.
"Hello, I am Xiang Yu."
The gentle voice was definitely Xiang Yu's, and Jiang Hua didn't beat around the bush; she went straight to the point.
"I am Jiang Hua."
Upon hearing that it was Jiang Hua, Xiang Yu's voice became noticeably hoarse.
"Oh, is there something you need?"
Sensing the distance in Xiang Yu's words, Jiang Hua felt a little guilty.
"Here's the thing, do you have time this afternoon? Let's meet at a coffee shop and talk."
"A coffee shop..." Xiang Yu pondered for a long time, then hesitated before saying, "Okay."
"Um."
Jiang Hua hung up the phone after saying that. These things had to be put to rest. She couldn't live without Ji Kexin as a friend, but she also didn't want Xiang Yu to hurt Ji Kexin because of her.
Soon it was afternoon, and Jiang Hua brought Ji Kexin to the coffee shop where she and Xiang Yu had chatted before. When they went inside, sure enough, there was a boy in a white shirt sitting by the window.
Upon seeing Jiang Hua, Xiang Yu forced a smile.
The three of them sat down, silently drinking their coffee without saying a word.
Jiang Hua was the first to break the awkward silence.
"It's like this, Xiang Yu, I've always considered you a friend."
Xiang Yu stirred her coffee, head bowed, and said softly, "I know."
This wasn't his first time drinking coffee here, but today's cup was unusually bitter.
Jiang Hua slowly spoke: "Then you should be able to tell that Xin Xin likes you, right?"
Xiang Yu nodded, took a sip of coffee, savoring the bitterness in her mouth, but lingered, unwilling to swallow.
"So, what are your feelings for Xin Xin?"
Upon hearing this question, Ji Kexin lowered her head and silently drank her strawberry milkshake, not daring to look Yu in the eye.
Xiang Yu hesitated for a long time, took a deep breath, and then said, "I have feelings for Xin Xin."
It's been so long, I should let it go. Besides, Jiang Hua already has a boyfriend, what am I doing clinging on?
"Then what are you waiting for? Are you willing to date Ji Kexin?"
Jiang Hua seized the opportunity to ask this question, and Ji Kexin next to her also looked up at Xiang Yu.
Her bright eyes seemed to hold the starry sky. For some reason, the softest part of my heart was touched. I smiled at Yu, looked into Ji Kexin's eyes, and said earnestly, word by word, "I do. What about you?"
Ji Kexin held back her tears and sobbed, "I do."
Jiang Hua, standing to the side, also felt very happy.
That evening, Jiang Hua logged into the game and shared the news with Gu Yiming.
[Private Chat] Di Ruhua: I have something to tell you. I've set up Xiang Yu and my roommate.
[Private Chat] Gu: Who is Xiang Yu?
[Private Chat] Di Ruhua: It's Liu Yunyi, a senior from our school.
[Private Chat] Yi Gu: What? Liu Yun Yishua is a senior from your school?
[Private Chat] Di Ruhua: Yes.
Gu Yiming was unsettled. He recalled how Liu Yun had suddenly declared that he would compete fairly with him, and he had wondered where Liu Yun got the confidence to do so, only to find out they were from the same school.
[Private Chat] Yi Gu: I can't believe he went to the same school as you...
[Private Chat] Di Ruhua: What's wrong?
[Private Chat] Yi Gu: Jiang Hua, this summer, I want to be your personal bodyguard!
[Private Chat] Di Ruhua: Did you take the wrong medicine?
[Private Chat] Yi Gu: I'm worried that you've been kidnapped by someone.
[Private Chat] Di Ruhua: You're overthinking it.
[Private Chat] Yi Gu: I'm worried. Okay, go to sleep early.
After saying goodnight, Jiang Hua took a shower and went to bed.
I spent a sleepless night.
The next day, Jiang Hua was woken up by a phone call from Gu Yiming, who said that Gu Yiming had been waiting for her downstairs for a long time. Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua quickly washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.
Gu Yiming helped Jiang Hua move her things. At that moment, Xiang Yu also came to help Ji Kexin move her things. When Jiang Hua saw Xiang Yu, she quickly greeted him and went upstairs to move her things.
Gu Yiming, feeling a little jealous, stepped forward and said, "Hello, I'm Jiang Hua's boyfriend." He even emphasized the word "boyfriend."
Xiang Yu glanced at Gu Yiming and thought he was indeed a business elite. This kind of person was worthy of Jiang Hua.
Thinking about this, I still feel a little bitter.
As Xiang Yu was sizing up Gu Yiming, Gu Yiming was also sizing up Xiang Yu. He was quite handsome and looked refined, like a bookworm. The car he had just driven was expensive, so he must come from a good family. How lucky Jiang Hua wasn't lured away by him.
"You're Liu Yun Yishuai, and I'm Yi Gu. You've lost."
Hearing Gu Yiming's words, Xiang Yu narrowed her eyes: "It's not a loss, because I have someone I like."
"I know, but didn't you say you wanted to compete fairly with me? Now I've won." Gu Yiming was extremely smug.
“If I had known Jiang Hua before you, things might have been different.” Xiang Yu glanced at him and thought coldly to herself that he was being childish. Seeing Ji Kexin coming down with her suitcase, she quickly ran over and said, “I’ll do it.”
As he spoke, he carried Ji Kexin's suitcase into the car, displaying his incredible boyfriend-like strength.
Jiang Hua came down just then, and Gu Yiming, not to be outdone, went up to help Jiang Hua carry her suitcase. As they were about to move it to the car, Jiang Hua gave him a light tap on the head: "That's Xin Xin's!"
Gu Yiming was embarrassed and quickly moved the box to Xiang Yu's car.
After saying goodbye, Jiang Hua got into the car. She took a sip of the green tea Gu Yiming had bought and asked softly, "Did Tang Xi say where she was going to eat?"
Gu Yiming glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled, "It's all booked, I'll head over now."
Jiang Hua nodded, then, recalling what had just happened in the dormitory building, asked, "Were you jealous just now?"
"Hmm..." Gu Yiming told the truth.
Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Xiang Yu is dating Xin Xin now, and I already have a boyfriend, so why should I care about those other things?"
Gu Yiming's lips curled slightly: "That's right, with a boyfriend as devoted as me, would you still be interested in anyone else?"
Jiang Hua picked up a bottle and hit Gu Yiming: "Drive carefully!"
"Yes, my dear wife!"
The two laughed and joked, and soon arrived at their destination. Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming got out of the car and went upstairs. They saw a man with orange short-sleeved shirt and flaxen hair sitting in a private room.
