"I'm really straight, and you can tell I'm a little interested in you, right? But why do I feel like you're not interested in me at all?"
Rang Rengan is also an impatient person who doesn't like beating around the bush. If he has feelings for someone, he will definitely say it. However, when he does say it, he is naturally very nervous.
After the girl across from him finished the last bite of her meal, she looked up at Rang Rengan with eyes devoid of any warmth, a stark contrast to her petite appearance.
Xiao Wei frowned, seemingly quite conflicted. This was understandable, given that it was only the second time the two had met, and anyone would find it somewhat inexplicable.
Ren Gan waited anxiously for a while, then heard the girl say, "I'm done eating."
Xiao Wei was about to pick up her plate and get up, which made Ren Gan a little anxious. He just wanted an answer; as long as she said she had even a little bit of affection for him, he wouldn't have to do all this for nothing.
A pale white hand grasped the girl's slender wrist.
"Mmm~" the girl murmured softly.
"At least give me a hint!" Ren Gan said almost simultaneously.
What happened next was that Xiao Wei's hand, like a magnet, grabbed Rang Rengan's hand in return. The girl's slender arm moved upwards like a flexible snake until the two arms were pressed tightly together.
Ren Gan was stunned, his eyes wide open, but the temperature of their skin touching was real.
The next second, Xiao Wei seemed to be electrocuted, hurriedly pulled her arm back, turned around and ran out, her pigtails flying in the wind.
They didn't even clear the plates...
"What does this mean?" Ren Gan recalled the scene from earlier; the girl's skin was smooth, but also incredibly hot.
Seeing this, An Youhe also called out, "Xiao Wei!"
She stood up and said to Ye Zhou, "I'll go find her; Xiao Wei might have been startled."
"Okay." Ye Zhou was also a little confused.
The girl looked at Ye Zhou, her fists clenched tightly. She took two steps in place before finally following her heart and kissing Ye Zhou's lips.
Ye Zhou watched the girl's departing figure, chuckled, and licked his thin lips with the tip of his tongue.
Ren Gan put his hands on Ren Gan's shoulders and said, "Brother Zhou, you've seen it all, haven't you? What's going on here?"
Ye Zhou couldn't help but tell the truth, "With your personality, I really don't understand how you found a girlfriend."
Ren Gan said with a wronged expression, "My girlfriends used to be the ones who approached me, but after we broke up, they all found new girlfriends..."
Ye Zhou: "..."
"In short, dating should be a gradual process. If you ask her directly like that, it's no wonder she'll be scared away."
"Shouldn't a gradual approach also include some hints of goodwill?" Ren Gan thought for a moment. Couldn't Xiao Wei's initiative in making physical contact just now be considered a hint?
So, he still has hope!
"Brother Zhou, could you subtly ask your wife? She should know what Xiao Wei is thinking, right?"
"Okay, I'll ask for you."
...
That evening, Ye Zhou invited An Youhe out to the school's artificial lake.
The girl had a small, delicate face, and she had styled her hair into two pigtails that hung down in front of her shoulders. Her green floral dress further accentuated her fresh and lovely appearance.
An Youhe's cheeks flushed red, and her eyes darted away. Despite being so beautiful, she lacked confidence.
Under the streetlights, she looks like a fairy from afar, but up close she still shines white.
"Why are you dressed so formally today?" Ye Zhou asked with a smile.
"Okay, is it pretty?"
"It looks great." Ye Zhou praised sincerely.
"Xiao Wei chose this for me. I borrowed this dress from her; she has many beautiful dresses."
When the girl approached, Ye Zhou reached out and touched the fabric on his shoulder. It was indeed nice, smooth and tender.
An Youhe really likes her current roommate, and she added, "Xiao Wei also helped me with this braid."
A large hand slid down his shoulder to his neck, then touched his braid.
Ye Zhou thought to himself, "She really is his girlfriend; she looks good no matter what."
"I can braid braids too," Ye Zhou emphasized solemnly.
The dim light poured down and shone on the two of them, making the girl's eyelashes appear even longer and thicker.
An Youhe smiled, her pink lips curving upwards, her eyes crinkling. "How do you know how to braid hair?"
“It’s very simple, you can learn it without even studying.” Ye Zhou raised an eyebrow and answered confidently. “I can braid your hair every day from now on.”
The girl answered in a muffled voice, "Okay."
The two walked along the lakeside, palms touching, exchanging warmth.
As Ye Zhou led the girl by the hand, preparing to climb the steps that would lead to the top of the mountain.
The girl stood still, unwilling to move forward.
"There are strange things on the mountaintop, I'm not going," the girl said softly.
It turns out that the two of them had wanted to go up the mountain before, but they encountered that kind of thing, and the girl still has a psychological trauma.
Ye Zhou grinned mischievously, "Don't you want to do something weird?"
"No, I don't want to," An Youhe said softly after hesitating for a moment.
Ye Zhou patted the girl's head and said, "Don't worry, I checked before you came, there's nothing there."
"Really?"
Why would I lie to you?
"Okay, then."
An Youhe held Ye Zhou's hand tightly, her bright eyes revealing fear.
Ye Zhou quite enjoyed the feeling of being trusted and relied upon, letting An Youhe hold his hand.
As they neared the summit, the girl grew even more timid, clinging tightly to Ye Zhou's arm.
Reaching the pavilion atop the mountain, I looked up to see a dark and windy night, with no one around.
An Youhe boldly loosened her grip on his arm and looked around, as if she were searching for something.
There was nothing nearby, and she was completely relieved.
She sat obediently next to Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou suddenly remembered the matter he had asked Ren Gan to explain.
"How is Xiao Wei? I want to introduce Rang Rengan to her. Rang Rengan likes her quite a bit, but I don't know what she thinks?"
"She should like him, right? I've never seen Xiao Wei so cold to anyone before."
"Cold and aloof, isn't that annoying? How can you say you like it?"
“Xiao Wei once told me that when she likes someone, she will show her disgust for that person, be expressionless, and even avoid them when she sees them.”
"That's... amazing. Xiao Wei must not have a boyfriend, right?"
"No, but she had a crush on someone for six years."
"What about now? Are they still in contact? Does your roommate still like that person?"
"No, no, Xiao Wei only spoke one sentence to that boy in the past six years. That boy didn't even know Xiao Wei's name, and he didn't even know that there was someone who liked him. Now that boy has a girlfriend, and they often show off their love on social media."
As An Youhe spoke, her voice became lower. In fact, Xiao Wei's experience was very similar to her own, which was why they could get along so well.
She was just much luckier than Xiao Wei; she had Ye Zhou.
