Early Friday morning, Jiang Xiaoli took Hu Jingxin to the playground for a morning run.
After my run, I saw a young couple playing around by the playground.
She asked, seemingly casually, "Xin Xin, have you ever thought about having a campus romance or something?"
Hu Jingxin nodded vigorously, "Of course there is! Let me tell you..."
Suddenly she looked at Xu Xing beside her and stopped.
Xu Xing tactfully said, "You guys chat, I'm going to the cafeteria."
As Xu Xing walked away, Hu Jingxin dropped a bombshell: "Xiao Li, let me tell you, when school first started, I fantasized many times about finding a boyfriend at school who would accompany me to class, eat with me, and play with me. But after meeting Zong Jia and Da Fu, I lost interest in the guys around me."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled softly, "So, you were actually interested in someone before?"
Hu Jingxin blushed slightly. "I'm telling you, you have to keep this a secret, okay? Actually... when school first started, I was quite interested in Xu Xing."
"Who?!" Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but exclaim.
What an incredible plot twist!
Hu Jingxin quickly hugged her to comfort her, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not interested now!"
She was still very curious, "Young lady, may I interview you about your thought process?"
Hu Jingxin linked arms with her and said, "At first, I thought he was so smart and amazing because he got a perfect score on the IMO gold medal, just like you. Then we started running together every day. He's so handsome, he's like the male lead in a novel."
Jiang Xiaoli thought about it and realized that the reason was indeed quite reasonable. She pressed on, "And then? And then?"
"Then..." Hu Jingxin stuck out her tongue, "After seeing him every day, I realized he's so quiet! So cold!"
She chuckled softly, "Just because he's quiet, you don't like him anymore? Girl, you change your mind pretty quickly."
Hu Jingxin waved her hand, "That's not entirely the reason. When we were chatting, didn't you mention that you had a cold war with him in high school because you wanted to go into business and he thought you should study math? Remember?"
"I remember, so what?"
Hu Jingxin pouted, "My family is in business, and I have absolutely no interest in academics or anything like that. Plus, he's a man of few words, so naturally I gradually lost interest."
Jiang Xiaoli finally understood her entire psychological process. She smiled and said, "Yes, it's still better to choose someone whose personality is compatible."
"Yeah, yeah, didn't I say last time that I like guys who are funny? I wish someone could make me laugh every day!"
Jiang Xiaoli thought about it and realized that Zhong Yuan might be a possibility. It seemed that Hu Jingxin always laughed heartily when they got together.
After finishing her classes in the afternoon, the shareholders of Group 307 went to check out the decoration of the three shops and discussed the clothing display issues before Jiang Xiaoli returned home.
The elevator doors opened, and Zhong Yuan was pacing back and forth in the corridor. He only smiled when he saw her.
"Little Pear, you're finally back."
Jiang Xiaoli sensed his chill. "Brother Yuan, it's so cold outside, can't you come inside and wait for me?"
Zhong Yuan followed her into the house and waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing, I'm just short-tempered. Tell me quickly, did you find out the truth today?"
Seeing his anxious look, she smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, can't you get me a glass of water?"
Zhong Yuan quickly poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.
Jiang Xiaoli took a sip of water and said slowly, "Xin Xin does have a crush on a boy."
"Thump." Zhong Yuan plopped down on the ground, looking utterly dejected. "In the end, I was too late."
She continued, "But that was at the beginning of the semester."
The light returned to Zhong Yuan's eyes, and he tentatively asked, "You mean you don't have any feelings for me anymore?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Yeah, Brother Yuan, if you ask me, you need to be more careful..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhong Yuan jumped up, looking around as if he was about to punish her.
She dashed across the street to call for help.
Dafu looked at Zhong Yuan, who was chasing after him with a menacing expression, and shouted, "Dayuan, what are you doing!"
Zhong Yuan snorted twice, "This little girl is teasing me! I'll teach her a lesson!"
Jiang Xiaoli hid behind Dafu and said, "Brother Yuan, I only found out what kind of boy Xinxin likes after asking around. Are you sure you want to lecture me?"
"What?"
Zhong Yuan couldn't hide his joy. He immediately peeled a banana and handed it to her, "Little Pear, look at the mess you've made! Have a banana! What else would you like? Just tell me!"
Dafu couldn't bear to look at him like that. "Dayuan, I really admire your ability to be flexible and adaptable."
Zhong Yuan didn't even glance at him. "Little Pear, why don't you just tell me?"
Jiang Xiaoli took a bite of her banana. "Brother Yuan, you were just about to beat me up a second ago!"
"That's not true!" Zhong Yuan denied it outright. "How could I dare? If I lay a finger on you, Brother Zong would kill me when he gets back!"
She pouted, "So you were just trying to scare me?"
"Hehe." Zhong Yuan smiled. "I was just joking, Little Pear, you're definitely not the kind of person who can't take a joke!"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded with a smile, "That's true."
After hesitating for a few more minutes, she finally spoke, "Well, Xin Xin... she likes guys who are humorous, preferably the kind who can make her laugh every day."
Zhong Yuan suddenly puffed out his chest and raised his head, grinning smugly with a set of bright white teeth, "Hahaha! Isn't this just me?!"
Dafu, standing to the side, could hardly believe that these two were so lucky. "Little Pear, are you serious?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "Yes, those are Xin Xin's exact words: 'Brother Yuan, peel an orange for me.'"
Zhong Yuan rolled his eyes at her. "Your arm's broken? Peel it off yourself!"
After saying that, he went straight back to his room.
Jiang Xiaoli stared wide-eyed, rooted to the spot. "Brother Dafu, Brother Yuan, isn't this a bit too realistic?"
Dafu patted her shoulder sympathetically, "Little Pear, you'll get used to it, you'll get used to it!"
Just then, Zong Jia arrived home after finishing his social engagements, and he asked, "What kind of habits are you happy with?"
Jiang Xiaoli pouted and said, "Comrade Xiao Zong, Brother Yuan is such a dog!"
Zong Jia laughed. "What did he do now?"
After hearing the whole story, Zong Jia gave her some advice, "He hasn't even won over the girl yet. Didn't you say never to underestimate your girlfriend's best friend? Are you afraid you can't handle him?"
Hearing the commotion, Zhong Yuan came out and exclaimed, "Brother Zong, you're really betraying your brothers!"
Jiang Xiaoli hooked her arm around Zong Jiayu's and made a face at him, "Hehehe!"
Zhong Yuan was defeated. "I'm truly impressed!"
Jiang Xiaoli was delighted to eat the peeled orange. "The orange that Brother Yuan chose is so sweet!"
