Having seen all the chat history, Tong Ya knew that while Luo Yueli had been a bit cold and had a poor attitude in the past, she had never actually mistreated Su Yichen.
There was no deep-seated hatred between the two of them. As long as Lizi lowered her proud head and was a little more honest, things would be fine.
Facing this childhood friend and white moonlight, even from Su Yichen’s perspective… Tong Ya truly couldn’t think of a reason to refuse her.
Then, everything would naturally fall into place, and they would be together…
It was practically a fairy tale.
Even if Luo Yueli didn’t know how to date or didn’t understand love, she would eventually figure it out.
Luo Yueli wasn’t a fool; she might be confused for a moment, but not for a lifetime.
Tong Ya knew that time was not on her side.
“I have an appointment to meet Senior Mo today.” Luo Yueli blinked, her expression filled with confusion. “But when I mentioned going to the clubs last night, you didn’t say you were coming too.”
“Otherwise, I would have had you come with me.”
“Ah… that’s…”
Tong Ya secretly thought that things were going south. Before speaking, she glanced at Su Yichen and found him glued to his phone, acting as if he didn’t have a care in the world, seemingly reading a webnovel.
As if sensing someone’s gaze, Su Yichen looked up, glanced around, and asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Tong Ya?”
“It’s nothing.”
Tong Ya waved her hand hurriedly before turning back to Luo Yueli. “I hadn’t made up my mind back then.”
“I only made the decision after thinking about it carefully later, so I didn’t have time to tell you. Actually, I still haven’t decided which club to join.”
“What about you, Lizi? Which club do you want to join… Oh, Senior just mentioned that both you and Shen Ran want to join the Literary and Artistic Union Department?”
“Yes.”
Luo Yueli tucked her hair back with an elegant grace. “I know a bit of piano, so I want to join the Music Club under the Literary and Artistic Union Department.”
“I see…”
“Then what about you, Shen Ran?” Tong Ya nodded and shifted her gaze to Shen Ran.
Shen Ran was stunned for a moment, not expecting Tong Ya to ask her.
Naturally, she also wanted to join the Music Club, but her purpose… could not be spoken aloud here.
“I haven’t fully decided yet, but… it should be the same as Lizi. I want to practice an instrument as well.”
As a township test-taker who only knew how to study in high school, Shen Ran didn’t have any special talents. At that time, all of her time and energy had been spent on her books.
“I’ve always wanted to learn a little, but I just never had the time,” Shen Ran explained with a smile.
“Now that I’ve gotten into university, I finally have some free time. It would be nice to learn a simple instrument or just sing.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Tong Ya didn’t suspect anything. She shared a dormitory with Shen Ran and Luo Yueli.
Earlier, when they were chatting in the dorm and Luo Yueli mentioned she could play the piano, Shen Ran’s eyes had been filled with unmistakable envy.
“Tong Ya, why don’t you join the Literary and Artistic Union Department as well?” Mo Qingqiu extended an invitation. “It just so happens that your roommates are here too.”
“Our department has the best atmosphere at Qingyue University. There is a high degree of freedom; not only are there no membership fees, but we also have ample funding.”
“Additionally, we often host social activities, and participating members receive extra benefits and income.”
These words were spoken so smoothly that Tong Ya’s voice faltered. She really couldn’t find a reason to refuse on the spot.
Any ordinary person would probably have agreed immediately.
She glanced at Su Yichen and noticed that his posture had shifted from being glued to his phone to showing a hint of interest. He was looking at Mo Qingqiu, seemingly considering something.
‘This is bad…’
Departments like this generally had many girls, but Tong Ya wasn’t worried about that. Those ordinary, flirty girls didn’t even have the qualifications to be her rivals.
‘A little cat will get jealous, but not everyone is worthy of her jealousy.’
Tong Ya didn’t think the other mediocre girls were fit to compete with her for her man.
She didn’t even take Shen Ran seriously.
She had already seen right through her roommate. Shen Ran was a little straight girl who had never been in a relationship and had no idea how to lower the barriers between genders or get close to a boy.
They weren’t even in the same league.
‘Compared to the cute Little Ya, dating Shen Ran would be like being in prison. Brother Yichen is so smart; he’ll definitely know how to choose.’
Tong Ya felt that even if Su Yichen and Shen Ran were locked in a room together for an entire day, no sparks would fly between them.
As for Mo Qingqiu…
As long as Su Yichen didn’t take off his glasses, Tong Ya didn’t think a mature and elegant beauty like Senior Mo would take an interest in a plain-looking junior.
The problem was Luo Yueli. Luo Yueli was there.
Just because others weren’t worthy didn’t mean Luo Yueli wasn’t.
‘That woman… I can’t let him go there!’
Finding a flaw was never difficult for a meticulous little cat.
“Well, Senior Mo, since the benefits are so good, the application requirements must be very strict, right?” Tong Ya asked after a moment of thought.
“That’s right, there are requirements for applying students.” Facing Tong Ya’s question, Mo Qingqiu didn’t try to hide anything. “First, they must be a student of Qingyue University. That’s a given.”
“Students who join must have a special talent or be willing to study seriously to pass the Literary and Artistic Union Department’s unified assessment one year later.”
“I see…”
“But I don’t have any talents, and I don’t have any plans to practice one.” Tong Ya tilted her head and smiled. “Senior Mo, I’m afraid I can’t accept your invitation for now.”
“Alas, it’s such a shame that a girl as outstanding as Junior Tong Ya can’t join our department.” Although Mo Qingqiu expressed deep regret, she didn’t try to persuade her further.
Instead, she curved her shimmering, peach-blossom eyes and shifted her gaze to Su Yichen.
“What about you, Junior Su Yichen? You seem… a little interested?”
“!!!”
Tong Ya, who thought she had successfully resolved the crisis, had just stuffed the last bit of ice cream into her mouth and nearly choked to death on the spot.
‘This wretched woman! If you have the guts, come at me! What kind of skill is it to go after my husband?! Huh?!’
In an instant, the young girl’s heart leaped into her throat.
Luo Yueli also glanced over slightly, as if she were expecting something.
But when she realized that Su Yichen was looking at Mo Qingqiu and not at her… her right hand, resting on her lap, unconsciously gripped the edge of her skirt.
“Senior, I am indeed a little interested.”
Su Yichen didn’t deny it. He pushed the glasses up the bridge of his nose and asked, “Could I ask how big the benefits of your Literary and Artistic Union Department are?”
“How big the benefits are…”
Mo Qingqiu leaned back, resting against the sofa’s backrest.
As she moved, the two large mounds on her chest bounced prominently.
It seemed the “benefits” were indeed not small.
Su Yichen remained composed.
Based on his experience of being sat upon so many times… and frequently looking up from below, he could tell at a glance that this woman’s upper-to-lower chest ratio was excellent. She was a 32D.
‘As expected of a department head, she truly has some strength.’
