Chapter 19: I Haven’t Been Pounced On, Have I?
Ye Chuxiao and Lu Ziyi paused for a while. It was Lu Ziyi who spoke first, “Xiaoxiao, go up and get some rest. I’ll be in the design studio tomorrow. If you want to come, give me a call.”
“…Oh.” Ye Chuxiao became flustered again. She remembered she had Lu Ziyi’s phone number, which the dorm leader Bai Qianqian had gone to great lengths to get last night. But she shouldn’t have Lu Ziyi’s phone number!
Ye Chuxiao stammered, “Senior Student Ziyi, your mobile phone number…”
Lu Ziyi probably remembered Ye Chuxiao confessing to him on the phone last night. His stern face softened, and his thin lips curved into a faint smile.
Lu Ziyi took out his mobile phone and, pretending ignorance, asked, “Xiaoxiao, your mobile phone number?”
“Oh, oh…” Ye Chuxiao recited her mobile phone number, and Lu Ziyi dialed it.
Before Ye Chuxiao’s mobile phone rang, Lu Ziyi’s mobile phone screen had already displayed the characters “Xiaoxiao,” but Ye Chuxiao couldn’t see it.
Ye Chuxiao looked at her own mobile phone. The screen displayed a string of numbers. Even though she wasn’t good with numbers, she still remembered this string of numbers, and it was different from the one Bai Qianqian had found last night!
Lu Ziyi said, “This number, call me anytime!”
“Oh!” Ye Chuxiao realized this was Lu Ziyi’s private number, which he didn’t give to just anyone. This was… preferential treatment as a little assistant, right?
“Thank you, Senior Student Ziyi! Then I… I’m going up.” Ye Chuxiao said “Goodnight” again and ran into the girls’ dormitory.
Today was truly fantastical! Ye Chuxiao ran all the way upstairs, then down the corridor, and back to her dormitory. Her little heart was pounding “thump-thump-thump.” She didn’t notice that all the way, the girls were sizing her up with all sorts of complex looks.
“Xiaoxiao!”
As soon as Ye Chuxiao entered the door, Bai Qianqian pounced over, clinging to her and hugging her tightly.
Then, Xu Luoxi also pounced over, and An Xiazhi pounced over as well.
Ye Chuxiao felt like she couldn’t breathe from being hugged.
Did they… miss her that much? It couldn’t be, right?
Bai Qianqian was extremely excited, “Xiaoxiao, you’re amazing! You’re incredible! You can conquer the heavens!”
Xu Luoxi was overjoyed, “We saw Senior Student Ziyi sending you back, looking reluctant to part at the dormitory entrance!”
An Xiazhi beamed, “Xiaoxiao, were you with Senior Student Ziyi all day today?”
Bai Qianqian was deeply moved, “Did Senior Student Ziyi agree to your confession later? My plan to charm all ten school hunks has achieved victory!”
Xu Luoxi, “Xiaoxiao, you actually managed to capture the most difficult cold and aloof type!”
An Xiazhi, “They say people who are cold on the outside are more passionate on the inside! Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, did Senior Student Ziyi hug you tightly and kiss you passionately?!”
Pfft! You’re the ones hugging me! Ye Chuxiao was embarrassed, “You’re all thinking too much. Senior Student Ziyi and I are not what you imagine!”
“Then what is it like?” Bai Qianqian, Xu Luoxi, and An Xiazhi pressed, “Did you pounce on him? Who slept with whom? Even if it’s a bit fast, we… can handle it!”
*Sniffle sniffle*! I slept in his bed, but I didn’t sleep with him!
No, no, no! That’s not it, you’re getting the wrong idea! Ye Chuxiao anxiously told her roommates everything that happened last night at the library and today, to prove Lu Ziyi’s… oh, no, to prove her innocence!
