Unfortunately, no matter how he asked or how he kissed the person until they were breathless, the person just smiled and shook their head without saying a word.
Zong Jia returned home with a head full of questions, feeling that this matter was probably related to Zhong Yuan.
He tentatively asked, "Dayuan, what does 'gray pants' mean?"
Zhong Yuan was playing a game with Dafu and didn't even look up. "What gray pants? I don't have any gray pants!"
Seeing that he seemed normal, Zong Jiayu didn't say anything more and went back to her bedroom.
Even while he was taking a shower, he couldn't forget the smiling look in Xiaolizi's eyes.
After leaving the bathroom, he opened his wardrobe, took out a pair of gray sweatpants, and put them on.
He stared at himself in the mirror for a long time but couldn't figure out anything.
At this moment, Zhong Yuan finished his game and knocked on the door to come in.
He glanced at Zong Jiayu, who was shirtless and wearing only gray sweatpants.
Suddenly he clapped and cheered, "Brother Zong! It's you again! I've learned it!"
Zong Jia frowned. "What did you say?"
Zhong Yuan walked up to him with a "don't pretend" look and patted him on the shoulder. "Brother Zong, how come you've become so scheming since you started dating Xiao Lizi? You're even using these kinds of tricks? And gray pants? Isn't it just to make them look bigger? But aren't you two being a bit too much?"
Zong Jia opened his mouth but couldn't say a word; he was so angry he almost laughed.
Zhong Yuan then noticed that his expression was a little off, and he immediately said tactfully, "Hehe, Brother Zong, I'm going to continue playing games with Fu Zi!"
Zong Jia took a deep breath, took out his phone, and dialed his girlfriend's number next door.
Jiang Xiaoli had just finished showering. She answered the phone while drying her hair, "Hey~ Comrade Xiao Zong, why are you already missing me after only half an hour apart?"
Zong Jiayu got straight to the point, "I tried on the gray pants when I got back."
Jiang Xiaoli's eyes lit up. "Oh, I can't see you right now, why are you telling me this?"
“Little Pear, I want to give you time,” Zong Jiayu said earnestly.
She paused for two seconds before reacting, then replied in a soft voice, "Did I scare Ayu?"
Zong Jia shook his head. "I just think you're still young and I want to give you time to think things through."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled softly, her voice carrying an indescribable allure, "Ayu, you'll be mine sooner or later."
Zong Jia was stunned by her short sentence. He hurriedly said "I know" and then hung up the phone.
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, looking at his changed gray pants, he chuckled and said to the person in the mirror, "I've already failed, haven't I?"
Jiang Xiaoli next door was so happy that she rolled around on the bed with her phone in her arms.
It took her quite a while to get up and continue drying her hair.
As she dried her hair, she chuckled softly every now and then, as if she had thought of something amusing.
The next morning, the young couple met while jogging.
In the elevator, Zong Jia noticed her looking him up and down, so he turned around and pinched her cheek.
"You little rascal."
Jiang, the little hooligan, rubbed her cheeks with an undiminished smile. "Brother Ayu, where are your gray sweatpants? I haven't seen you wearing them."
When the elevator reached the first floor, Zong Jia said helplessly, "Little Pear, stop making a fuss so early in the morning."
"Hmm?" She tilted her head to look at him. "That night...?"
Zong Jia sighed, "Let's go for a run."
Both of them ran all the way to school, and Zong Jiayu watched her enter the school before leaving.
All morning, Hu Jingxin and Ren Zhiyi felt that Jiang Xiaoli was in a very excited mood.
During lunch, Hu Jingxin couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Li, what good news have you had?"
Jiang Xiaoli met three pairs of eyes brimming with curiosity. "It's nothing."
Chang Yue took a bite of her food and asked, "Xin Xin, what's wrong?"
Ren Zhiyi helped explain, "Xin Xin and I both think that Xiao Li is unusually excited today!"
Chang Yue turned to look at Jiang Xiaoli beside her, "Indeed, even when she's eating, the corners of her lips are turned up."
Hu Jingxin nodded vigorously, "Right, right!"
However, Chang Yue then added, "You two might be overthinking it. People with partners experience emotional ups and downs differently than us. You'll get used to it."
Hu Jingxin became even more interested. "Xiao Li, are you so happy today because of Zong Jiayu?"
Jiang Xiaoli shook her head, neither admitting nor denying, "I'm not telling you!"
Ren Zhiyi observed her expressions and movements, "Being in love is really scary. A perfectly good person can turn into this."
Hu Jingxin looked on with envy, saying, "I can't even remember the last time I was this happy."
Chang Yue is different from her: "I've been very happy every day lately."
The three of them suddenly turned to look at her. "Xiaoyue, is something wrong?"
Chang Yue quickly waved her hand, "Oh dear, you've misunderstood! I'm happy because I learned a lot at 'Jiang Li Ji' (a restaurant chain), so I'm very happy!"
Jiang Xiaoli sighed, "I thought you had your eye on Brother Dafu."
"Xiao Li, you, you're talking nonsense." Chang Yue suddenly started stammering.
All three eyes turned to her once again.
Ren Zhiyi smiled and said, "Xiao Li, I feel like you're pretty much right."
Jiang Xiaoli, linking arms with Chang Yue, asked gossipily, "Xiao Yue, tell us what happened."
Chang Yue's face turned unusually red. She pulled her arm back and said, "You're overthinking it. No, nothing like that happened!"
Hu Jingxin looked incredulous. "Xiaoyue, you're so nervous you're stuttering! Just tell the truth!"
After several rounds of back-and-forth, Chang Yue finally couldn't withstand the intense gazes of the three men.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you!"
She composed herself, "I'm happy because I learned a lot while working part-time at 'Jiang Li Ji,' that accounts for about 50%, and the other 50%... I really think Brother Dafu is a very nice person, he took good care of me..."
Jiang Xiaoli grinned mischievously, "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue, tell us more!"
The group moved back to their dormitory from the cafeteria, and Chang Yue listed many examples of how well Dafu treated her.
Although Jiang Xiaoli didn't think this was a special treatment for her, she couldn't help but understand that Chang Yue had fallen for Dafu!
She saw Chang Yue's ambiguous smile, and Hu Jingxin beat her to it and drew a conclusion.
"Xiaoyue, you're already falling for someone!"
Chang Yue lay down on the bed and buried her head in the blanket, "Hey, stop talking!"
Ren Zhiyi tugged at the two excited people, "Xiaoyue is shy, you two stop teasing her."
Jiang Xiaoli knew Dafu well. She asked, "Xiaoyue, you have a happy family and are a university student at Peking University, but Dafu grew up in a single-parent family with his father. He only has a junior high school education. Don't you mind these things?"
Chang Yue stood up the next second, frowning as she asked, "So what if he's from a single-parent family? So what if he only has a junior high school education? Da Fu is the most hardworking person I've ever met at 'Jiang Li Ji,' Xiao Li, how could you say such a thing about him?"
