It snowed in Shengjing that day.
It was the first snowfall in Shengjing in 2008.
They arrived earlier than in previous years, coming in early November.
Shengjing University.
Inside an office.
The teapot on the desk was bubbling and steaming.
The cacti next to it are growing well, bringing a different kind of green to this autumn and winter season.
Two pretty girls wearing warm-colored sweaters were hunched over their desks, sketching and writing.
One has a mature and sophisticated aura, the other is pure and lovely.
"Sister Yu, how did you handle this part? Why can't I draw it well?"
Ji Mushu had her hair tied in a bun, and her fair neck was exposed to the air, even revealing a hint of pink.
She pointed to one of the places and asked.
"Here, you should do it like this..."
Yu Xinran got up and walked to Ji Mushu's side, patiently pointing out the details.
It's a real shame that no one can see such a beautiful scene.
After giving her instructions, Yu Xinran picked up the original painting that Ji Mushu had completed and said with a smile, "Wooden Comb, several of the paintings you gave to Yu Mobai were painted by you. Why didn't you tell him?"
Ji Mushu paused for a moment, then said in a muffled voice, "I don't think it's necessary. I just want to practice more. It has nothing to do with him."
"I've really never seen such a stubborn girl like you."
Yu Xinran was puzzled, "He's done so many things to help him, why doesn't he open up about his true feelings?"
Ji Mushu pursed her lips and remained silent. It wasn't that she hadn't tried, but Yu Mobai's head seemed to be a block of wood.
No matter what she says, it will all come to nothing in the end.
Each time I was filled with hope, and each time I returned empty-handed.
"You need to be more proactive. After all, you two grew up together. Maybe he feels a little awkward or something, but if you try harder, he might accept you."
Yu Xinran's eyes were full of longing. "Thinking about it this way is so romantic. If I had a guy like that, we might have been together a long time ago."
"Listen to me, it's the first snow of the year, it's not unreasonable for you to ask him to go out for a walk, is it?"
Seeing that Ji Mushu still didn't make a move, Yu Xinran took her phone out of her pocket and placed it in front of her, "Here's your phone, be more proactive."
Opening her contacts and seeing the nickname "Stinky Fish," Ji Mushu glanced at it. Their chat history was from the middle of last month.
At Yu Xinran's urging, she still sent out a message.
...
Yu Mobai was lying in his dorm room thinking about the Teamfight Tactics game plan when his phone suddenly rang, almost startling him so much that he dropped the pen he was holding in his mouth.
"You'd better have something serious to discuss with me."
He muttered to himself as he opened his phone, "Mo Bai, wanna go out for dinner tonight?"
A message from Ji Mushu.
A wooden comb...
He thought about it for a moment, and realized that the two of them hadn't been in contact for more than half a month.
What was the reason we met last time?
Oh right, I made her angry last time.
The two never saw each other again.
"Since you're being so proactive, I'll reluctantly let go of my anger and let's meet."
Yu Mobai sent a message with a grin, but received no reply.
At this moment, Ji Mushu, who had just received the message, had a very unhappy face. "Sister Yu, look how infuriating he is! I'm not going out with him."
"I think it's quite normal."
Yu Xinran held the pen in her hand and tapped her chin repeatedly. "If I'm not mistaken, was this how you two communicated before?"
Ji Mushu paused for a moment, it seemed to really be...
Yu Xinran guessed what was going on from her expression, and smiled as she adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, "There's only one truth: it's actually your mindset that's changed."
"Because of your feelings, you subconsciously want Yu Mobai to treat you the same way. However, he is still using the same communication style as the two of you before, so now you feel that his attitude towards you is not good. In fact, he has never changed."
Hearing Yu Xinran's words, Ji Mushu's attention was immediately diverted, and she didn't notice at all that the pen tip had already drawn a crooked line on the drawing paper.
"So you need to change your mindset, or change him."
How to change it?
Ji Mushu looked at the chat history on her phone, then simply flipped the phone over, preferring to ignore it.
"Should you change it, or should he?"
Yu Xinran asked with a smile.
Ji Mushu bit her lower lip, unsure how to answer for a long time.
Her feelings for Yu Mobai were actually quite complicated.
The two grew up together, but before high school, neither of them had any romantic feelings for the other.
To be precise, I have absolutely no interest in dating.
It wasn't until high school that the two became deskmates and went to and from school together every day. After that, other classmates referred to them as family.
It was from this moment that Ji Mushu's thoughts began to wander.
She was smitten as she watched Yu Mobai grow increasingly handsome.
However, Yu Mobai had figured things out a little earlier than her, and that rascal had already set his sights on Zhang Chuxin from the next class.
And he began to pursue her.
He had absolutely no interest in the childhood sweetheart beside him, who was even prettier than Zhang Chuxin.
He even frequently asked her what girls like and how to please them.
Not many people knew about this originally.
Ji Mushu wasn't the cheerful type; she preferred to keep everything bottled up inside, even her feelings.
Whenever she watched Yu Mobai discuss Zhang Chuxin with her, she felt extremely uncomfortable, but she couldn't show it.
In the end, I could only coldly send him away.
However, since the love letter incident was exposed, Yu Mobai's crush on Zhang Chuxin came to an end.
Ji Mushu didn't even have time to be happy.
At this moment, Dong Yike suddenly reappeared.
I don't know what happened to this guy, he's like a completely different person.
He broke off all ties with Zhang Chuxin, but became quite interested in Dong Yike.
Ji Mushu felt envious whenever Dong Yike was mentioned.
I envy her carefree attitude, and I envy her ability to stand in front of Yu Mobai and block Zhang Chuxin's attack.
Actually, she wanted to, but she didn't dare.
Therefore, she is very sensitive and timid when it comes to relationships.
She wasn't afraid to give, she was just afraid of not getting a response.
Just like her several confessions to Yu Mobai after entering university, which went unanswered.
Thinking about all this, Ji Mushu's face grew increasingly dejected.
Her attitude was already set in stone and couldn't be changed; the only one who could change it was Yu Mobai.
With her arms crossed, Yu Xinran noticed Ji Mushu's hesitation and said, "Since you've already decided you like him, don't think about it anymore. Today you have to force him to give you an answer."
As she spoke, she bent down and pulled Ji Mushu's loose sweater down a bit, revealing her sexy, fair shoulders. She also let down Ji Mushu's bun hairstyle, then straightened up, admired her slightly, and nodded.
"I have a suggestion for you: you should try a different style tonight."
