Seeing her bag beside her, Ji Kexin quickly took out a mirror to look at herself, tidied her messy hair, and was about to take out her cosmetics to touch up her makeup when Xiang Yu suddenly woke up. Ji Kexin put it away a little embarrassed.
Xiang Yu was surprised and asked, "What are you doing here?" Ji Kexin said in a panic, "I...I...I don't know. I only remember coming in to drink last night, and then I can't remember anything else."
Xiang Yu also felt a headache coming on and shakily got to her feet. The two of them were about to leave the bar when a waiter suddenly stopped them. Xiang Yu asked, "Is there something wrong?"
The waiter replied, "Excuse me, you two haven't paid the bill yet. Would you like to pay together or separately?" Ji Kexin smiled awkwardly and said apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry, we almost forgot, we drank too much."
The waiter was very friendly and gestured for them to pay at the counter.
Ji Kexin walked and searched, but all she found were various lipsticks, eyebrow pencils, and the like; she couldn't find any money.
Xiang Yu asked with a puzzled look, "What are you looking for?" "I...I think...I forgot to bring money."
However, the waiter was already waiting for the bill, so Xiang Yu had no choice but to tell the waiter, "Let's pay together."
Ji Kexin was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. Xiang Yu, seeing Ji Kexin's expression, wanted to tease her. He deliberately looked into Ji Kexin's eyes and said, "Ahem! Someone has a habit of reneging on debts, huh?"
Ji Kexin blushed deeply. "I'll treat you to a meal next time." Actually, Xiang Yu wouldn't mind such a small thing, and comforted her, saying, "Okay, okay, it was just a joke. There's no need for a meal."
As they stepped out of the bar, Ji Kexin said pitifully, "Sigh, my clothes are all dirty, and my car hasn't come yet. I don't know how long I'll have to walk to get back."
At this point, Xiang Yu, who was standing nearby, certainly wouldn't ignore it, so she could only say, "Then I'll take you back."
Ji Kexin was not satisfied and said, "But it's just dawn now, and going back will wake Jiang Hua up."
Xiang Yu was also helpless; it seemed he had no choice but to take Ji Kexin home first. Upon arriving at Xiang Yu's house, Ji Kexin's heart was pounding, and the atmosphere was awkward. She wanted to break the silence.
She tried to start a conversation, "Your house is decorated quite nicely. I didn't expect things to be so tidy. I thought guys' things were all 'messy'."
Hearing Ji Kexin praise him like that, Xiang Yu said shyly, "It's alright, it's alright. You should take a shower first, you'll feel more comfortable afterward."
Ji Kexin went to take a shower because she couldn't think of anything to talk about. Xiang Yu waited while playing games. Soon, Ji Kexin finished showering, but she didn't have any clean clothes to change into.
She had no choice but to grit her teeth and call out to the door, "Is Xiang Yu here? Can I borrow some clothes?" Xiang Yu went into the room, grabbed a shirt, and knocked on the bathroom door. Ji Kexin reached out to take the clothes.
Both of them were incredibly embarrassed, and the air seemed to fall silent. Ji Kexin shyly walked out of the bathroom and casually asked Yu, "Is this appropriate?"
But she regretted it as soon as she said it, thinking, "How could this be appropriate? There's such a big difference between boys and girls. I want to criticize myself for asking such a question."
However, Ji Kexin said tactfully, "It's alright, as long as it's wearable, thank you. I also wanted to ask if there's a place to charge my phone?"
Xiang Yu pointed under the table, said nothing more, and continued playing the game. After turning on the computer, Ji Kexin's phone was full of messages from Jiang Hua. Ji Kexin typed "It's nothing" and sent it.
Jiang Hua was still worried, so she sent a message saying, "I waited for you for a long time last night but you didn't reply. I'm really worried. Where are you now?"
Ji Kexin came up with an excuse: "I got tired while playing games with my classmates last night, so I went to sleep. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Jiang Hua felt much more at ease after hearing Ji Kexin's words, so she didn't say anything more.
Ji Kexin had always known an undeniable fact: Xiang Yu didn't like her. She was fully aware of this, easily discernible from his attitude towards her versus his attitude towards Jiang Hua. One was icy indifferent, offering only perfunctory remarks; the other was passionate and eager to chat with Jiang Hua all night, seemingly unwilling to part.
Ji Kexin wasn't stupid; she understood this perfectly well, but she didn't say it directly. It makes sense, really. A woman in love, falling for a man who doesn't love her in the first place—even if she knows this perfectly well, she'll still have a subtle, internal belief that it's just love, and love is inherently difficult to explain.
But Ji Kexin was in a dilemma. On one hand, there was the person she liked, and on the other hand, there was her roommate and best friend... Would it be better to let them be together? Ji Kexin thought to herself, but soon dismissed the idea. If you like someone, you should pursue them! How will you know if you don't try? I, Ji Kexin, think I'm not bad at all. Why can't I just let the person I like go to someone else!
Ji Kexin suddenly turned on her computer because she had a crazy idea: she wanted to let Xiang Yu know how she felt, and she, Ji Kexin, was going to confess her love to Xiang Yu!
For some reason, Ji Kexin felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. The computer was booting up very slowly, which only added to her restlessness. She really wanted to tell Xiang Yu, to tell him she liked him right away...
Ji Kexin stared at the computer for a long time as it started up, but after staring for a while, she found that her eyes were a little sore. Suddenly, her eyes thought of Jiang Hua... Jiang Hua is also very cute, an energetic girl, and she is also very good at games... Can I, Ji Kexin, compare with Jiang Hua?
"drop"
With a beep indicating the computer had successfully booted up, Ji Kexin immediately pulled herself together, quickly clicked the mouse to start the game, and impatiently awaited its launch. The familiar interface appeared, but Ji Kexin paid it no mind. She ignored messages sent to her as if they were from colleagues, focusing instead on quickly searching for "Xiang Yu" in her friends list.
[Private Chat] [Ji Kexin]: Xiang Yu, are you there?
[Private Chat] [Xiang Yu]: Yes.
[Private Chat] [Ji Kexin]: Xiang Yu, I have something to tell you.
[Private Chat] [Xiang Yu]: You say it.
[Private Chat] [Ji Kexin]: Xiang Yu, I like you!
[Private Chat] [Ji Kexin]: I'm afraid if I don't say it today, I'll never have the chance again. Xiang Yu, I really like you!
[Private Chat] [Ji Kexin]: I like you so much!
After sending these words, Ji Kexin felt very excited, her heart was pounding, and even her breathing became rapid. Ji Kexin was really afraid of being rejected.
