But Jiang Liuying understood Shen Xiaomeng very well; she was a girl full of fantasies. Who knew that today she went on a date with that computer science boy who was chasing her with a balloon, and later had dinner with a girl named Lin Xi? What happened to make her feel sensitive again?
"But I always feel like something is off," Shen Xiaomeng said to Liuying as if talking to herself.
Sure enough, this girl had encountered something. Tonight, after her date with Hao Chuanze, she didn't seem as happy as before; her sensitive emotions were written all over her face, clearly showing "I'm very unhappy."
Jiang Liuying put down the mouse, walked over to Shen Xiaomeng, and hugged her shoulders. With a serious expression, she asked, "What's wrong, Mengmeng? You went on a date with Hao Chuanze, so why did you end up having dinner with a girl named Lin Xi? Is Lin Xi Hao Chuanze's ex?"
Shen Xiaomeng shook her head and said, "No."
"Then is she the girl he has always liked?" Liuying continued to dig deeper.
"Not that either," Shen Xiaomeng shook her head again.
"Then who is she?" Liuying was somewhat puzzled.
"Stop guessing; it's none of that," Shen Xiaomeng stood up, interrupting Jiang Liuying with some annoyance. "He has nothing to do with her; they didn't know each other before."
"Then what's the problem? Why do you care about this girl named Lin Xi? There are plenty of people with the same name," Jiang Liuying relaxed and thought Shen Xiaomeng was being overly concerned.
However, Jiang Liuying suddenly realized something and asked, "If you don't know her, then why did you have dinner together?"
That might be the key point of the night! Liuying suddenly thought.
"She is a friend of a childhood friend of Hao Chuanze. We ran into each other at the swing set today and decided to have dinner together," Shen Xiaomeng said, lying back on the bed with a heavy heart, clearly reluctant to talk about it further.
However, Liuying's curiosity was piqued by her, lifting her soft body off the bed again.
"Hey, can you please say everything in one go? Hanging on to half a sentence like this is driving me crazy," Jiang Liuying complained.
With no choice, Shen Xiaomeng had to sit up again and tell Jiang Liuying everything that had happened under the swing set in the evening.
After listening to Shen Xiaomeng's words, Jiang Liuying felt that Shen Xiaomeng's judgment about tonight's situation was off. "Wow, this is not good, Mengmeng, I think the person you should be concerned about is that girl named Yao Mengni, not the one named Lin Xi." Jiang Liuying was completely intrigued by Shen Xiaomeng's story and even helped analyze it step by step.
"The situation is very complicated," Jiang Liuying continued.
"Huh?!" Shen Xiaomeng stared wide-eyed at Jiang Liuying.
"Your love has just begun to sprout, and now it has to weather a storm; this is the time to test Hao Chuanze," Jiang Liuying said, patting Shen Xiaomeng on the shoulder, emphasizing each word.
"Ah..." Shen Xiaomeng exclaimed with her mouth open.
"What do you mean it just began to sprout? What storm?" A figure passed by the window outside the dormitory corridor, and Qinglan's voice floated in.
"Ah, Lanlan, you're finally back."
Seeing Qinglan, Shen Xiaomeng jumped up from the bed.
"When did you start being so happy to see me?" Qinglan teased in a half-serious tone. "I don't have any balloons with me!"
"Go away." Shen Xiaomeng playfully kicked at Qinglan.
“Lanlan, let me ask you something,” Shen Xiaomeng pulled Qinglan closer to her.
“What is it? You come back and are so enthusiastic towards me. Can I have a moment to rest? I’ve been studying all night and I’m exhausted, thirsty, and dying of fatigue,” Qinglan exclaimed. “Get me a glass of water and serve me well, then I might answer your questions properly.”
Qinglan was feeling quite pleased with herself.
She was in a great mood tonight. While studying in the library with Xu Wen, she unexpectedly ran into An Shaojie, someone she hadn’t seen in a long time.
He looked much more haggard, sitting across from Qinglan alone, without the rumored girlfriend by his side.
Moreover, An Shaojie seemed restless tonight. Although he still maintained his usual cold demeanor and barely acknowledged Xu Wen’s greetings, he occasionally glanced at her. His gaze seemed somewhat fierce and toxic, but there was clearly an element of jealousy as well.
However, tonight she felt so at ease sitting next to Xu Wen. She was calm and tranquil. She never knew she could be so composed in front of An Shaojie.
At first, when they sat down across from An Shaojie, neither she nor Xu Wen noticed him. He was the one who spotted them first and kept staring intently at Qinglan. It took her a while to realize someone was watching her; when she looked up, she found it was him.
It turned out that time could really change and dull many things. His sharp eagle-like gaze no longer pierced her heart or sensitive nerves like it used to.
He had stared at her for so long without her noticing.
In the past, even from ten meters away, just a fleeting glance from him would make her heart race in sync with his steps—either tense, disappointed, twitching, or aching.
Now she was completely oblivious to it. Was this progress? Qinglan wondered to herself.
Since being with Xu Wen, although they had not yet entered a romantic relationship, his attentive care and unwavering support had given her a sense of stability—a heart that remained untroubled by the changing tides of the world and indifferent to the warmth or coldness of those around her.
Because her heart had always been gently wrapped and protected by him.
Even if An Shaojie's gaze became sharper, it could no longer penetrate his warm embrace to hurt her sensitive and fragile heart.
"Oh, An Shaojie, it's you." It wasn't until he stared at Qinglan for a long time that Xu Wen noticed him and softly greeted him.
He remained indifferent and did not respond, his cold gaze fixed on Qinglan.
Xu Wen gently patted Qinglan's hand resting on the table, looking at her with a smile. "Hmm, just quietly reading."
"Mm." Qinglan smiled back at him and nodded.
This time, she was not afraid of him.
"You have long since walked out of my sight; why should I still be afraid of you?" Although she thought this, Qinglan's heart still ached, yet she was no longer afraid or anxious.
Since he did not cherish her at all, since he had never cherished her, since he had made the decision to resolutely walk out of her sight, since a stranger—a girl who had only seen her photo—could make him pursue her without hesitation, then what was there left for her to fear?
What people fear most is not being heartless but being emotional! Because emotions can bind a person!
Then, Qinglan lowered her head and quietly read, her heart no longer tethered to him. Yet he, sitting across from her, became increasingly restless.
