After class, Mingmei would usually go back to the dormitory with Lu Xiaoyao or go to the cafeteria together. Sometimes she would chat with some familiar classmates for a while.
Although this feeling was still a bit uncomfortable for Mingmei, who has mild social anxiety, she overcame it a lot over time.
But today, I'm not used to being all alone after class.
"Hey? Mingmei, what are you doing standing here?"
Hu Yue, who was rushing to the cafeteria, saw Mingmei standing at the road sign under the teaching building, lost in thought, so she went up to her and asked her a question.
"Hmm...it seems Lu Xiaoyao left early?"
"Didn't Mu Chen come with you?"
The moment she opened her mouth, she immediately mentioned that they were an old couple. Hu Yue even subconsciously wondered if Lu Xiaoyao was doing this to create some space for Mu Chen and Ming Mei to be alone.
"Mu Chen was called away by the teacher after class." Mingmei glanced at Hu Yue, whose eyes were full of gossip. When she heard that she knew where Mu Chen went, Hu Yue's "Oh~~ you even know that" look made Mingmei feel helpless.
It seems like the more they try to explain, the worse it gets.
"However, Lu Xiaoyao said... it seems she went to the psychological counseling room."
Sensing Mingmei's speechless state, Hu Yue immediately became serious and answered what Mingmei had said at the beginning.
"Psychological counseling?"
"Hmm." Hu Yue nodded, but was also a little curious, "It seems like everyone's been under a lot of psychological pressure from playing games lately~ Last night, after finishing the game, Xiaoxiao went straight to the counselor's office..."
"Is that so? I think so."
A knowing glint flashed in her bright eyes. With a slight smile, she watched the other person leave before turning back. However, as she turned, she almost bumped into Mu Chen, who had somehow appeared behind her.
"You scared me!" Mingmei exclaimed softly and quickly took two steps back.
Mu Chen, holding a book in his hand, smiled as he looked at Mingmei's reproachful expression, then chuckled and said, "Were you waiting for me on purpose?"
"Don't overthink it." Mingmei turned her head to leave, and Mu Chen smiled and followed behind her. Mingmei walked ahead, and he quietly followed not far behind her.
[Host, someone is following you.]
【Gui Gui, if you're trying to say that the person following you is Mu Chen, then you don't need to say it. Do you think I wouldn't know such a grown man?】
So what are your thoughts?
I didn't think much about it. The school is so big, the roads are so wide, I can't stop him from going wherever he wants.
Is this some kind of romantic game between you two?
【Pah! Who's his girlfriend?】
Gui Gui: ? ? ?
Guigui doesn't understand, what exactly are these two people now?
Sometimes, it doesn't know how to reply to Master Liu Liu's questions about its host's love life.
—Are they officially dating? No.
But they look so sweet together!
—Did they hold hands, kiss, or have any physical intimacy? No.
How can something that happened accidentally be called "something"?
The information Mr. Yan Hui needed was much simpler than what Lord Liu Liu needed.
—Is Meimei happy lately? Yes.
Sometimes I get emotional too.
"The teacher called me after class." Mu Chen took another step forward, now only half a step away from Mingmei.
"Does finding you have anything to do with me?"
"Um."
"Hmm?" Seeing that Mu Chen was certain, Mingmei was also puzzled. "How does this have to do with me?"
“My teacher said I’ve made a lot of progress lately and I can share my learning experience with you,” Mu Chen said. Ming Mei immediately pouted unhappily and said, “Oh, but I can’t memorize things. I don’t want to memorize a whole book.”
"No need to memorize. Besides, the teacher said your comprehension is actually very good, it's just that you haven't caught up with some of the knowledge points yet. Compared to me, who can only memorize and doesn't even understand much of it, you have more knowledge than me."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, actually, if we're going to exchange experiences, I hope you can give me more guidance." Mu Chen's voice was gentle and calm. Ming Mei turned her head to meet his sincere eyes, which made her mouth dry.
Why is it that Mu Chen can be both handsome and cute at the same time?
He always manages to hit that itch in her heart perfectly.
"Um... well, okay then. If you have any questions... let's go to the library together next time, or an online holographic library, either way is fine."
Mingmei blushed slightly and turned her head away, a hint of smugness showing on her face.
"Let's go to the school's physical library together in a few days. It just so happens that milk berries are in season at Central Star recently, so I'll make you a milk berry mille-feuille."
"You have this skill?"
Upon hearing that Mu Chen could also make desserts, Mingmei recalled the rose shortbread he had made that morning and felt she understood again.
"Yeah, I learned it when I was bored before." Mu Chen smiled as he said this, "I received guidance from a senior."
"Oh, I see..." As she spoke, Mingmei noticed that her personal terminal had lit up. She looked down and saw a voice message from Lu Xiaoyao. Mingmei didn't notice and accidentally turned on the speakerphone function.
"Aaaaaah! Meimei! A super handsome guy has come to the school counseling center!! Aaaaaah! Do you want to come and see him?!"
Mingmei: ...
The key point is that Mu Chen was standing right next to him.
The death of the company came so suddenly and unexpectedly.
Mingmei slowly turned around and looked at Mu Chen, who was still standing there with a gentle smile. However, the aura around him made Mingmei realize that Lu Xiaoyao might be doomed.
