Cheng Yuexin frantically made a silencing gesture in Gu Linxue’s arms, the warmth on her waist coming suddenly.
Her eyes darted around, panicked.
Gu Linxue’s “wife” earlier, not too loud but not too soft, had already attracted the attention of passersby.
It was obviously intentional.
Luckily, they were still some distance from the classroom where their class was.
At least Chen Yiyi and Liu Yingqiu wouldn’t see.
“Let go of me. This is school.”
Cheng Yuexin kept her voice as low as possible.
Gu Linxue only smiled playfully, her jade-like hand pinching her waist.
“But you’re the one who barged in. Miss me that much after being apart for just a moment?”
“I… I wasn’t watching where I was going. Let go of me, please. I was wrong.”
Sweat began to form on Cheng Yuexin’s forehead, her lotus-root arms pressed tight against her sides.
Gu Linxue leaned down close to her ear, her warm breath turning her earlobe red.
“Hmph… Linxue, I beg you…”
“That’s not the tone to beg me with.”
Like a demon’s whisper, it made Cheng Yuexin tremble with fear.
The strength in her hands increased slightly. She wasn’t joking with Cheng Yuexin.
Staring at the face getting closer and closer to hers, Cheng Yuexin’s little heart felt like it was about to jump out.
Gu Linxue exuded an aggressive aura, as if warning her.
She didn’t mind having a public display of affection once.
“Gulp…”
In a voice only she and Gu Linxue could hear, full of the plea to be let off.
“Husband… please let me go for now, okay?”
“Heh, fine.”
Gu Linxue smiled faintly and released Cheng Yuexin.
Escaping Gu Linxue’s demonic clutches, Cheng Yuexin felt the stares from all around and her heart fluttered with panic.
Her first thought was to get away from Gu Linxue as quickly as possible.
Cheng Yuexin lowered her head and timidly skirted around Gu Linxue, those eyes fixed on her still locked on.
Some were puzzled, some envious, and some jealous.
Gu Linxue sniffed the scent of perfume on her own chest and frowned in disgust.
“What brand of perfume is that? Smells terrible. Tch, stupid woman.”
Fanning away the lingering smell on her nose, she turned and quickly walked away.
Cheng Yuexin returned to the classroom with slightly red cheeks, and Gu Linxue followed right behind her.
Chen Yiyi saw this scene and her eyes went wide.
Her sixth sense told her she had missed something.
Liu Yingqiu silently watched the two of them. Cheng Yuexin’s expression bothered her.
But with Gu Linxue present, it wasn’t convenient to ask.
The bell rang, ending their random thoughts.
Cheng Yuexin sat back down between the two, shrinking her neck uneasily.
The hands placed on her textbook trembled occasionally.
She was still shaken by what had just happened.
From now on, when walking, she must definitely watch where she’s going.
If she accidentally bumped into Gu Linxue again, next time it might not be solved by just saying a few nice words.
So hard.
“Sigh.”
A weak sigh drew the attention of Liu Yingqiu and Chen Yiyi.
Seeing Cheng Yuexin looking preoccupied, Chen Yiyi seemed thoughtful.
Liu Yingqiu didn’t think much of it, as her attention was fully on the class.
After political science class, it was time for major-specific classes.
Cheng Yuexin didn’t know Gu Linxue’s major. Most likely, it was still business administration, same as in her previous life.
So she didn’t see Gu Linxue in the major class.
In this life, Cheng Yuexin was studying e-commerce.
Based on her previous life’s experience, the year she graduated from her senior year of college was exactly when live-streaming带货 started to rise.
Maybe when she graduated in this life, she could ride that wave with her knowledge and accumulate her first pot of gold.
Now that she had a dream, at least she knew how to move forward.
She had to climb up step by step.
Her seat in the major class was still in the first row.
And on her left and right were still her bodyguards, Chen Yiyi and Liu Yingqiu.
Like sticky candy, she’d probably have a hard time shaking them off for these four years.
“Aiyo. I’m so doomed.”
Cheng Yuexin complained inwardly, propping her face on her hand and focusing on the lecture.
After class, she ate lunch very quickly.
She just wanted to get rid of their entanglement as fast as possible.
Gu Linxue had appeared suddenly in the morning and then disappeared just as suddenly.
Cheng Yuexin lay down on the bed, exhausted both physically and mentally.
Just one morning of classes was more tiring than military training.
“Yuexin, there’s something I want to ask you.”
Chen Yiyi sat by her bed, her black pupils locked onto Cheng Yuexin’s tired face.
“Hmm? What is it? About Liu Yingqiu?”
Chen Yiyi blinked in surprise and nodded.
“What exactly is your relationship with her? Where did ‘old classmate’ come from?”
Cheng Yuexin sat up, eyelids half-lowered, looking a bit listless.
“This… starting from middle school, she and I were always classmates until high school graduation.”
“Now, we’re just classmates.”
Chen Yiyi swallowed.
“Did you two… ever date?”
“Huh?”
Cheng Yuexin’s eyes widened in shock, then she suddenly shut her mouth and didn’t answer.
Chen Yiyi sensed something was wrong with her, which undoubtedly meant she had guessed right.
A bitter smile surfaced on her pretty face, but it didn’t reach deep.
“Looks like it’s true. And Gu Linxue also went to the same high school as you, right?”
Cheng Yuexin lowered her gaze, not looking at Chen Yiyi’s slightly disappointed face, and nodded slightly.
“Then do you like them?”
Cheng Yuexin slowly raised her head, finally meeting her eyes this time.
Just two seconds later, the answer was almost ready to come out.
“No.”
‘Because I’m not a lesbian.’
Through these days of experience, Cheng Yuexin had gradually forgotten about that man’s heart.
The only thing left was that voice opposing lesbians, maintaining the last bit of reason.
Whether it was Gu Linxue or Liu Yingqiu, Cheng Yuexin wouldn’t have any romantic-like feelings for them.
Oh, and Chen Yiyi wouldn’t be either.
She was her good roommate. A rabbit doesn’t eat the grass near its own hole.
That description sounded a bit weird…
After hearing her answer, Chen Yiyi felt relieved, stood up, and stretched.
“I understand. Get some rest. There are classes this afternoon.”
Cheng Yuexin lay down again and plugged her phone in to charge.
“Another full afternoon of classes. At least there’s no evening self-study, or I’d be dead tired.”
Chen Yiyi agreed.
“Yeah, no evening self-study is really great. I’ll sleep a bit too.”
This was also one of the reasons Chen Yiyi chose Guangnan University.
Cheng Yuexin watched Chen Yiyi crawl under the air-conditioned blanket, smiled lightly, and squinted.
Mm…
She took a deep breath and slowly relaxed her body.
Why does this pillow have a faint scent belonging to Chen Yiyi?
Strange.
Maybe it’s because she used Chen Yiyi’s perfume, and the two scents are similar.
‘I’m not a dog. Why am I worrying about so much?’
The dormitory fell silent again, and Cheng Yuexin’s breathing gradually steadied.
Chen Yiyi, curled up under the blanket, wasn’t asleep.
She wasn’t playing on her phone either.
She was holding Cheng Yuexin’s shirt in her arms. Compared to a few days ago, the scent had faded a lot.
She hugged the shirt tightly with both arms, fantasizing about falling asleep holding her.
Since Cheng Yuexin didn’t like them, did she herself have a chance?
First come, first served.
Besides, she had already given her first kiss last time. That must have left something in her heart, right?
At least Cheng Yuexin had planted a seed in her own heart.
Chen Yiyi couldn’t forget that kiss no matter what.
Those two days she was gone, she felt like an abandoned husband.
Missing her warmth, her scent, and her kiss.
Everything about her, because of that one accident, was branded into her mind.
But now, there was another competitor: Liu Yingqiu.
The pressure was a bit heavy.
As for Gu Linxue, Chen Yiyi hadn’t thought of a good plan yet.
Deep down, Chen Yiyi felt that the relationship between Gu Linxue and Cheng Yuexin had other hidden circumstances.
This awkward feeling lingered in her heart, impossible to shake off.
Where exactly is the problem?
