He often heard people around him talking about her, and among the boys, Lu Yingying was always the most talked about.
Just as he was thinking this, someone else sent him a message.
It was Lin Xue not long ago.
Hey junior, how many classes do you have tomorrow? Shall we schedule a time?
It's because of student council matters again; after all, it's the end of the semester and there are many activities.
Lin Xue was assigned a similar task to him.
In the following days, Lu Yingying herself was also quite busy.
She also had almost no time to go to the library to study with Xu Feng, let alone eat together.
The next time she saw Xu Feng, she saw him having dinner with Lin Xue.
Lu Yingying didn't notice at first, but her roommates pulled her up.
Only then did she notice the two people eating in the corner by the window.
"Is this Lin Xue, a sophomore? How come she's with Xu Feng?"
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen you and Xu Feng much lately. Is it because you've been hanging out with Lin Xue?"
As she spoke, the girls around her were already getting quite angry.
Lu Yingying bit her lip and said, "Maybe it was just a coincidence that we had dinner together. I know they've all been quite busy lately because of the gala."
"Yingying, let me tell you, I think that woman is trying too hard to get close to Xu Feng. I'm also in the student council, but I don't really like her. She seems to be deliberately trying to get along with everyone."
At this moment, a roommate who was also in the student union said.
Although Lu Yingying felt a little disappointed, she didn't expect that her roommates would seem even angrier than she did.
This made Lu Yingying both amused and exasperated. She pulled the group aside and said, "Alright, don't overthink it. He and I are just ordinary friends. Besides, maybe we just happened to have a meal together. Let's go."
Although she didn't show much on her face, she could actually guess what it was.
Xu Feng has been so busy lately, he's probably been spending it all with Lin Xue.
But in any case, she couldn't really interfere with anything.
The group left, unaware that Lin Xue had already noticed Lu Yingying's presence.
Only after Lu Yingying left did she slightly raise her head to look in that direction.
"Hey, isn't that Junior Lu over there?"
Upon hearing the name, Xu Feng immediately turned to look.
Soon, he saw that pretty figure.
"Why don't you go find her? We can talk about this on the phone..."
Lin Xue made the suggestion in a very understanding manner.
"No."
Xu Feng quickly explained that there were other people with her, and they just happened to run into her. The other person didn't look for him, perhaps because they didn't see him.
Despite Xu Feng's answer, a barely perceptible hint of displeasure still flashed across Lin Xue's face.
This meal was actually just a chance encounter orchestrated by the two of them.
In the past few days, through her interactions with Xu Feng, she easily realized that Lu Yingying's place in his heart was not as indifferent as he appeared on the surface.
But she didn't say anything in the end. She just tugged at the corner of her mouth and continued chatting with Xu Feng as if nothing had happened.
Even though the person in front of her had no expression, Lin Xue's smiling face made it clear that she was genuinely interested.
They would also feel that the two have a good relationship.
...
That evening, Lu Yingying found herself still unable to let go of the matter.
Thinking back to what happened at noon today, Lin Xue and Xu Feng chatting and laughing, she still felt a bit resentful.
What her roommate, who was also in the student council, said made her think even more.
These two must have been spending the last few days together.
They might spend more time together than she has in the past month!
Although they were classmates, Lu Yingying and he both had very full schedules and also had their own extracurricular activities. Apart from going to the library or on weekends, they rarely ate together. Of course, this was also because Lu Yingying felt that if she asked him to accompany her for everything, it would seem too deliberate, so she never took the initiative to make any excessive or potentially misinterpreted requests.
But Lin Xue...
Why didn't I think of joining the student council back then?
But if she deliberately ignored Xu Feng like last time... it would make her seem petty.
Lu Yingying grew angrier the more she thought about it, feeling like she was about to explode with anger.
But then I thought, wouldn't this just let Lin Xue get her way?
In the end, Lu Yingying decided to take a roundabout approach.
At 11:30 p.m., she sent a cat pouting emoticon.
[snort]
It wasn't that Lu Yingying wanted to stay up so late, but rather that she was suffering from severe mental exhaustion.
I thought about it over and over again for so long before finally taking the first step.
"If he doesn't reply, then forget it, but I'm sure I'll have trouble sleeping tonight!"
Lu Yingying thought to herself.
Lu Yingying thought to herself with a sliver of hope.
As it turned out, the other party actually replied to her message.
I saw you at noon today, but I didn't want to bother you, so I didn't go to see you.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yingying became even angrier.
So you're not coming to find me, so you want to be with Lin Xue, right?
Also, Lin Xue and I are only working together temporarily due to student council tasks; we don't need to be together tomorrow.
Upon seeing the second message, a blush crept onto Lu Yingying's face.
She didn't mention it either.
It's like he knows exactly what I'm thinking...
If you're bothered by it, I'll apologize again, okay? I'll be more careful next time.
No, no, what is he doing now?
The tone sounds like he's apologizing to his girlfriend.
Lu Yingying's heart was pounding faster and faster. She gripped her phone tightly, wishing she could just pretend to be dead.
However, she was the one who sent the message first. Xu Feng replied to her not long after, and there was no reason for her to fall asleep so quickly.
Lu Yingying suppressed her wildly pounding heart and replied:
You're overthinking it. These are not the kinds of trivial things I care about.
She was glad that they were chatting on their phones and the other person couldn't see her expression. She felt that her tone was very calm.
So what is it that you care about?
Lu Yingying's heart skipped a beat again. She felt that she was about to succumb to Xu Feng's offensive, but she also knew very well that he was just asking these questions seriously and did not have any feelings for her. But she was really too easy to be delusional!
Realizing that her wording contained some flaws and loopholes, Lu Yingying quickly corrected them.
No! What I mean is, I don't care about these things at all.
Who you eat with is your own business, what does it have to do with me?
Upon seeing these words, there seemed to be a long silence on the other end.
After waiting for about five minutes, they finally asked.
Why did you message me?
Lu Yingying was stunned; she couldn't come up with anything.
After racking my brains for a while, I finally came up with an excuse.
[Oops, I sent this to the wrong person.]
After seeing this message from Lu Yingying.
Xu Feng immediately recognized that this was an excuse.
If it was just a simple slip of the hand, then after sending it, she would either retract it or quickly explain it to him.
There was no need to talk to him for so long before saying this.
Therefore, this is a very lame excuse.
