The girl standing next to her showed a hint of shyness on her face. She hadn't expected to see the other person smile, especially such a heartfelt smile.
It made her heart pound, her heart race, and she became increasingly smitten.
Xu Feng shook his head, quickly regaining his composure, and said in a cool voice, "By the way, thank you for the invitation, but I have no interest in this club..."
The person in front of him was a sophomore from a certain club who wanted to recruit him, but Xu Feng politely declined.
The girl was slightly disappointed, but not annoyed. She smiled and said, "It's okay. I was just asking for your opinion as the club president suggested. It's fine if you're not interested..."
To outsiders, the two appeared to be having a pleasant conversation.
The other corner.
Lu Yingying watched this scene with a huff.
All he does is smile at other women!
She didn't know that Xu Feng's smile wasn't because of the other person, but because he had already discovered her.
...
Lu Yingying was unaware that her every move was basically under Xu Feng's control.
The two were classmates.
Furthermore, Lu Yingying's name was frequently heard by her roommates and other friends.
However, when he heard that Lu Yingying was so popular in the eyes of these people, he felt a little uncomfortable.
However, the other party still avoided him.
He actually wanted to improve his relationship with Lu Yingying.
Completely baffled, he had no choice but to take the initiative to send a message to inquire.
"If you have any complaints about me, you can say so."
Xu Feng said he was all ears.
He felt that although their relationship wasn't very close, it shouldn't be as strained as it was now.
She saw the message that Xu Feng had sent her.
Lu Yingying felt her heart skip a beat. He actually messaged her first?
If it weren't for this message, Lu Yingying would have suspected that the two sides had never added each other before.
I looked at it again and realized that I wasn't seeing things.
Lu Yingying's mood improved slightly, and a smile returned to her face.
However, before she could figure out how to reply, the other party sent another message.
"I think we can at least go back to being just ordinary classmates."
Upon seeing the words "ordinary classmate," Lu Yingying's heart skipped a beat and then immediately collapsed.
In your eyes... are we really just ordinary classmates, not even friends?
Lu Yingying felt a sense of inexplicable loss.
Perhaps she was indeed deluding herself.
The best revenge is not hatred, but indifference from the heart.
Lu Yingying told herself not to care about someone who was irrelevant to her anymore.
In the following period, Lu Yingying did not seem to return to normal.
The two would not avoid each other if they happened to meet, and Lu Yingying would even nod and greet him.
However, it didn't feel the same as before.
The other party seemed to treat him as a complete stranger.
Only then did Xu Feng realize that this was not what he wanted at all.
What he meant by "ordinary classmates" was that he hoped Lu Yingying would at least not deliberately avoid him, but the result was completely different from what he had imagined.
Could something be wrong?
Xu Feng thought about it for a long time and finally decided to ask his friend.
I briefly described the situation to my friend, and after a long silence, the other person finally replied:
She likes you.
The appearance of such words made him catch his breath.
This was an outcome he had never anticipated.
Then, some people became skeptical.
"If she likes me, why is she avoiding me?"
"You must have upset her somewhere, so she's deliberately ignoring you while secretly keeping an eye on you. Women are all two-faced creatures!"
"But I've heard her say very clearly several times that she's not interested in me."
This is the root cause of his belief that Lu Yingying has no feelings for him.
The person involved has said this several times in person, so how could it be false?
Therefore, he felt that his feelings for Lu Yingying were simply that he thought she was cute, which was why he took care of her like a younger sister. He did not think that he had any romantic feelings for Lu Yingying, or rather, he did not allow himself to have such feelings.
"How is that possible?" His friend looked incredulous, and then said, "Then tell me what happened back then."
"She clearly denied that she was interested in me, saying that she wasn't interested in me, so I didn't want to bother her." Xu Feng said again with a sullen face.
He believed he had made himself very clear.
However, this time, the other side grasped the key point:
"What kind of occasion was that? Were there other people with her?"
"That's right!" My friend said with a smug smile. "I knew it. The girl is shy. You didn't take the initiative. Of course she would be embarrassed to admit it in front of so many people. But maybe she just denied it in private. She didn't really mean it."
"It's just that you overheard it... To be honest, from your description, that girl is quite cute."
Xu Feng was slightly displeased when he heard his friend say the last sentence.
"Oh, you're protecting her now, huh? First love is something else!"
They knew Xu Feng's character all too well; many of them had dated countless girlfriends.
Unlike Xu Feng, perhaps due to the influence of the Xu family, he seems quite cautious about relationships. Of course, some of them have also suspected that this kid might be gay.
It seems there's no need to worry now.
This guy probably has a crush on that girl too!
Seeing Xu Feng's stern face, just like his father's, exuding an imposing aura without anger, his friend immediately shut up and stopped gossiping. He simply asked, "So, is there anything else you want to ask?"
"How can I clear up the misunderstanding with her?"
My friend has automatically translated it into how to woo a girl.
"A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; a woman's thoughts are the hardest to fathom. But actually, I do have some ideas... It's very simple: men need to learn to take the initiative, not believe those insincere words, and be a little thick-skinned... Also, they need to know how to coax..."
As his friend's words became increasingly absurd, Xu Feng's brows furrowed more and more.
Ultimately, I had to interrupt him.
"That's enough. I don't want to date her."
"You think so."
My friend was very serious.
Xu Feng glanced at him, his eyes cold and arrogant.
"You really think about it, my good brother, don't lie to yourself."
My friend said, sticking his neck out.
Xu Feng snorted coldly, ignored him, stood up, straightened his collar and the hem of his clothes, and strode away.
Then his friend's voice rang out again from behind.
"No matter what, just go for A!"
Actually, he wasn't very experienced, but it's good to be proactive.
Of course, how come I never noticed before that this guy has such low emotional intelligence when it comes to relationships?
...
These points gradually banished the image of a certain person from Lu Yingying's mind.
Of course, there is also a reason for this, as Xu Feng has appeared in front of her less often.
The two seemed to have truly become parallel lines, never to intersect again despite being in the same world.
Lu Yingying felt a little empty inside.
