Chapter 2: She’s Not Stupid, Just a Little Clumsy
Ye Chuxiao’s declaration of “I like you” suddenly silenced the entire dormitory.
Thump-thump, the sound of girls’ heartbeats.
Ye Chuxiao felt like she was suffocating from nervousness!
Actually, she knew that Lu Ziyi on the phone didn’t know who she was, and it was her roommates who had told her to confess.
Yet, she couldn’t control her heart from pounding wildly.
Good heavens, her first “I like you” was out!
On the other end of the phone, there was also silence.
But at that moment, a lion’s roar suddenly erupted from the dormitory door: “Ye—Chu—Xiao!!! Why haven’t you gone to evening self-study yet? If you fail Advanced Mathematics again, where will I put this old face?”
The four girls in the dormitory all looked towards He Zhiyin, the Study Committee Member, at the door.
It was already tense enough, and the Study Committee Member’s sudden shout made Ye Chuxiao, Bai Qianqian, Xu Luoxi, and An Xiazhi lose their souls!
Study Committee Member, we’re trying to pick up guys here, can you not scare us?
One by one, their eyes were strange! He Zhiyin stormed in and lectured, “Exams are coming up, be diligent! Especially you, Ye, Chu, Xiao! Your other subjects are good, can’t you pay more attention to Advanced Mathematics? Don’t you want the scholarship?”
Ye Chuxiao’s beautiful face creased: “I’m paying a lot of attention to it, but it’s not paying attention to me! I really don’t understand it!”
“Then stare at it, stare at it, stare at it! Stare until it feels embarrassed and lets you understand it!”
Ye Chuxiao felt life was meaningless: “I’ll go stare at it right away!”
The energetic Study Committee Member swept out to urge on other dormitories.
Meanwhile, Ye Chuxiao and the others remembered they were still on the phone!
Ye Chuxiao instinctively hung up the mobile phone, how embarrassing!
The renowned School Hunk now knew that the person who confessed to him was an idiot who couldn’t even pass Advanced Mathematics!
Bai Qianqian asked, “Xiaoxiao, did Lu Ziyi hang up?”
“I don’t know.” Ye Chuxiao actually hoped that Lu Ziyi would ruthlessly hang up the telephone the moment he heard the confession.
Xu Luoxi asked, “Xiaoxiao, did Lu Ziyi say anything?”
“I don’t know!” Damn it, my ears were filled with the Study Committee Member’s teachings.
An Xiazhi: “Xiaoxiao, why don’t you call Lu Ziyi again?”
“I don’t know…” Ye Chuxiao, pulling her schoolbag, slunk away shamelessly.
Ye Chuxiao kept running down the corridor, then down the stairs, then along the tree-lined path with its lush, tall mango trees.
She ran all the way to the canteen, realized she was going the wrong way, and turned back, running towards the library.
She kept running until the magnificent library appeared before her.
Stopping at the foot of the high stairs, Ye Chuxiao took a deep breath, her heart still beating thump-thump.
What foolish things had she just done!
Ye Chuxiao felt her cheeks still burning hot.
She had been a quiet and well-behaved girl since childhood, and everyone praised her for being good.
She never expected that one day she would confess to a boy first, even if she didn’t mean it, the words “I like you” had been spoken!
Ye Chuxiao stood for a long time at the foot of the stairs in the library’s front square on this summer night.
She slung her schoolbag over her shoulder, her cheeks were very hot, but her hands were ice-cold.
Ye Chuxiao cupped her face with her hands and rubbed it, only then did she feel a bit more comfortable.
Looking at her mobile phone again, heavens, it was already 8:20.
At this hour, would there still be seats in the library? Mother would worry about my studies!
