Chapter 625 Girlfriend, I didn't bother you, did I?
The phone rang twice before being answered.
"Ningning."
The man's deep voice came through the phone, deep and pleasant to the ear, sounding no different from usual.
Shen Anning's tense emotions eased slightly. "Why did you call me so many times around four o'clock? I was wearing earplugs and didn't hear them."
"It's okay, I just pressed the wrong button by accident."
Did you accidentally press the wrong button?
Has anyone ever pressed the wrong button seven or eight times in one go?
Shen Anning certainly wouldn't believe such a clumsy lie.
"Qi Yue, if you have any problems, you should tell me. Don't bear it all by yourself. We're a couple, and we have to face everything together, no matter what happens."
Qi Yue chuckled softly on the other end of the phone, "So our Ningning still worries about her boyfriend."
"What are you talking about! If I'm not worried about my own boyfriend, why would I be worried about someone else's?"
"You dare!" Qi Yue said urgently.
Shen Anning couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, I'm relieved to know you're alright."
"Hmm, do you have class in the morning?"
"Yes, and my mentor pulled me into the competition group last night, so I'll probably be even busier from now on."
At this moment, Qi Yue, sitting in the car, pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly, "You're a college student, how come you're busier than me, a CEO?"
"You should be proud of how hard I've worked!" Shen Anning said with a smile. "After all, your girlfriend is going to be a top lawyer!"
"Yeah, I'm really proud to have such an outstanding girlfriend." Qi Yue glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist and said, "You should wash up and get ready for breakfast."
"Yes, otherwise I'll be late. I'll talk to you later on WeChat!"
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Anning tossed her phone onto the bed and turned to walk into the bathroom.
The autumn and winter seasons in the capital are even drier than in the northern part of the city. Shen Anning rarely takes such diligent skincare in the northern part of the city, but in the capital, the dry climate forces her to take care of her skincare every day.
After washing up, applying sunscreen and lip balm, Shen Anning changed her clothes and casually picked up a hairpin to pin up her smooth, waist-length hair behind her head.
The autumn winds in Beijing are like a whirlwind; if you don't tie your hair up before going out, you'll end up with a face full of frizz.
Many freshmen experienced sore throats, fevers, and other symptoms when they first arrived in Beijing due to the unfamiliar climate. You Jingqiao was no exception. Shen Anning, on the other hand, had been taking care of her health with traditional Chinese medicine since childhood, making her one of the healthier freshmen.
She adapted well to the unfamiliar city. She found everything about the food, living arrangements, and campus life to be fresh and interesting, and she would share her daily college life in her own small group chat.
As Fu Siyan and Shen Qingshu watched her daily posts, their worries as parents gradually subsided.
Fu Nian'an's attitude towards his younger sister Shen Anning can be summed up in one sentence: as long as she doesn't get love-struck, he's never worried about anything else.
The parents and older brother were very relieved, but Qi Yue, the boyfriend, was very worried.
At this very moment, he was sitting in his car when he saw Shen Anning and You Jingqiao walking out of the residential area.
Two young girls stood by the roadside waiting for the green light.
Qi Yue sat in the car, looking at Shen Anning through the car window.
The early autumn morning was a bit chilly. She was wearing wide-legged, high-waisted jeans with a beige long trench coat over them. Her long hair was styled up, revealing her beautiful, fair swan neck.
You Jingqiao said something to her, and Qi Yue saw her eyes crinkle with laughter. Sunlight fell on her face, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were bright.
Many people walked past her, and both men and women couldn't help but turn around to look at her.
Even in that short time, Qi Yue saw a young boy return, holding his phone, and walk up to her.
The young boy was probably also from this university. He wasn't particularly handsome, but he looked clean and sunny. When he spoke to Shen Anning, his smile was somewhat shy.
Qi Yue stared at the scene, his hands resting on his knees clenching into fists.
Luo Dongjin naturally saw it as well.
With her beauty and great temperament, it's normal for Shen Anning to have suitors.
However, knowing something is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.
In particular, Qi Yue changed his itinerary at the last minute, flying directly from Country F to Beijing, and has been waiting downstairs since 4 a.m., just wanting to give Shen Anning a surprise.
Before the surprise could arrive, Shen Anning was seen being chased by a boy asking for her contact information.
Luo Dongjin, putting himself in Qi Yue's shoes, couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
He secretly glanced at Qi Yue through the rearview mirror.
The young man's face was undoubtedly handsome and pleasing to the eye, but at this moment his face seemed a little cold.
Luo Dongjin withdrew his gaze and turned to look out the window again.
Over there, Shen Anning smiled slightly at the young boy and said something.
The boy scratched the back of his head and lowered his head.
Just then, the green light turned on, and Shen Anning pulled You Jingqiao across the zebra crossing and walked into the campus.
The young boy stood there, staring intently at Shen Anning's receding figure.
Qi Yue raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, then looked away. "Find a place to park, I'll go in myself."
"Yes." Luo Dongjin shifted gears, but then, as if remembering something, he glanced at the rearview mirror. "Mr. Qi, are you sure you want to get to Peking University like this?"
Qi Yue frowned. "What's wrong?"
"You're still wearing the clothes you wore to the meeting."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue paused, then looked down at his suit.
"Walking into Peking University like this, you're bound to attract a lot of attention," Luo Dongjin kindly reminded him.
Qi Yue closed his eyes. "Let's go to the nearest shopping mall first."
"OK."
...
Beijing University.
After finishing one class, Shen Anning had no more classes in the morning.
As she left the classroom, she received a call from her mentor, Zhong Enli, asking her to go to the training room to meet up with the other three group members.
When Shen Anning arrived, the other three team members and Zhong Enli were already there.
Zhong Enli greeted the other three senior students one by one.
After that, Zhong Enli left, letting the group work out on their own.
On her first day in the group, Shen Anning quickly learned about the backgrounds of the three group members.
Mu Jiaze is a chuunibyou (delusional) teenager, the young master of the Mu family in Beijing. Apart from being a bit of a womanizer, his academic performance and character are impeccable.
Another senior, Xie Xu, is said to be from Yuncheng. He is the only son of a highly educated family, handsome and refined, with a cool and aloof temperament. He is said to have been a recognized aloof academic genius since high school and was also the school heartthrob. Countless girls pursued him, but he only cared about his grades.
In Mu Jiaze's words, Xie Xu was just a bookworm, a waste of his handsome face.
As for the group leader Chu Yuke, she and Xie Xu were childhood sweethearts. You could say she was the female version of Xie Xu. Although they weren't together, in the eyes of all the teachers and students in the school, they were a perfect match in every way, and it was only a matter of time before they got together. In fact, everyone assumed they were a couple.
Shen Anning had noticed a few times that Chu Yuke's gaze towards Xie Xu was indeed a little different.
However, she didn't have the same strong gossip mentality as You Jingqiao. She only found out about the backgrounds of the three group members to make it easier to get along and cooperate with everyone in the group in the future.
At lunchtime, Mu Jiaze, citing Shen Anning's first day joining, offered to treat everyone to lunch.
He was a rich kid and didn't lack money. Xie Xu and Chu Yuke were already familiar with him, and they were happy to treat him to a meal.
They were enthusiastic as seniors, and Chen Anning, as a junior, would not spoil their fun.
The four of them came out of the training room and walked side by side toward the cafeteria.
Mu Jiaze asked Shen Anning, "Shen Anning is so pretty, she must have a boyfriend, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xu and Chu Yuke turned to look at Shen Anning almost simultaneously.
Suddenly, six eyes were fixed on him.
Shen Anning felt something was off, but she still readily admitted, "Yes, I have a boyfriend."
Mu Jiaze then asked, "Is your boyfriend also at Peking University?"
Just as Shen Anning was about to speak, a person riding a bicycle suddenly wobbled towards them and crashed into them.
"My bicycle brakes are failing! Get out of the way! Get out of the way—"
Just as Shen Anning was about to dodge to the side, Xie Xu reacted faster than her and reached out to pull her close!
She fell into Xie Xu's arms, and the bicycle just barely grazed past her from behind, almost hitting her.
Are you alright?
Xie Xu's concerned voice came from above. Shen Anning came back to her senses, took a step back, and was about to speak when she looked up and met a pair of familiar eyes.
She was stunned.
Qi Yue stood a few meters away from them, one hand in his pocket, his deep eyes fixed on her.
Seeing that she had finally noticed him, he curled his lips into a half-smile, "Girlfriend, I didn't bother you, did I?"
Shen Anning: "..."
