Jiao Yutong paused for a moment and said, "I saw it. You seduced Jing Xiao."
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Meng Xiyao's face changed drastically as she cursed.
Jiao Yutong glanced at her phone indifferently, "On the sixth, Jing Xiao came to the art academy. You went to see him, and you kissed him."
Before Meng Xiyao could retort, she added, "At the south gate. I have evidence."
"..."
Meng Xiyao deleted the photos, considering herself unlucky, and then glared at Jiao Yutong with venomous eyes.
"Shouldn't you also delete the evidence you have in your hand?"
Jiao Yutong destroyed the video in front of her.
It was a coincidence that when she returned from the library that day, she happened to see Meng Xiyao tiptoeing to kiss Jing Xiao.
Although Jing Xiao had taken a few steps back, he showed no intention of scolding her.
So she had taken a video, intending to keep it as evidence.
Meanwhile.
Wen Tingxue was a bit slow to retreat due to low blood sugar.
"It's okay, I just need to eat some breakfast."
Saying so, she was about to walk inside, but Song You stepped forward to block her.
"There's a long queue inside, have something to eat first."
He handed her the breakfast in his hand.
It was still warm.
"I..."
As soon as she spoke, Song You directly shoved the breakfast into her hand.
Then he quickly left.
Wen Tingxue actually wanted to refuse, but she really didn't have the strength to chase after him.
On the first floor of the cafeteria.
Lu Youran went to queue for breakfast.
Wen Tingxue casually found a seat in the hall.
She waited for Lu Youran while eating to regain her strength.
She also thought about how to thank Song You.
He had helped her too much.
Since the start of the semester, he had always appeared when she needed him.
*Dong*—
The sound of a thermos hitting the table.
Wen Tingxue, who was biting a bun, looked up and, upon seeing who it was, swallowed her food and said, "Sister Wanqing?"
"Mm-hmm."
Lin Wanqing flicked her hair and sat down elegantly.
"It seems you didn't drink the herbal soup I sent you last time."
"Soup... herbal soup?"
Wen Tingxue searched her memory for a moment and realized, "So that was from you? I thought..."
"You thought it was from one of your admirers?"
Lin Wanqing propped her chin with one hand, smiling brightly and boldly.
Wen Tingxue smiled sheepishly.
Indeed, many people had sent her things these days.
She had politely declined most of them, assuming that person was also...
Lin Wanqing said, "Actually, it was."
Wen Tingxue: "?"
"Wasn't it?" Lin Wanqing tilted her head. "A Li hasn't formally confessed to you, so by rights, he is an admirer."
"A... Yu Wenli? That herbal soup was from Yu Wenli?!"
Wen Tingxue was shocked. Lin Wanqing raised an eyebrow, "Didn't he tell you?"
Wen Tingxue shook her head quickly, "I don't know anything. We've been very tired these past few days, just sleeping after sending messages."
They didn't have the energy to chat about other things.
Lin Wanqing curved her lips, "It is indeed his style."
Wen Tingxue subconsciously touched the white rose bracelet on her wrist.
"Didn't you say you fainted from low blood sugar last time?"
Lin Wanqing explained as she twisted the lid of the thermos.
"He called me that night and asked if I had any prescriptions that could help.
"He also asked me to buy you some supplements, but I was too busy to get away the day before yesterday, so I had my assistant deliver them.
"I didn't expect you to not accept them, so I had to come myself."
She poured out a bowl of herbal soup and handed it to Wen Tingxue.
Wen Tingxue took it with both hands. "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Lin Wanqing took out a handkerchief from her bag, wiped her hands, and said:
"I don't know how he got the news, but he said you had a drill last night and was worried you couldn't handle it, so he asked me to come over quickly."
Lin Wanqing's car followed behind the main group.
She thought the girl would collapse, but to her surprise, she held up well.
-
For several consecutive nights, Meng Xiyao would disappear for a while.
She said she was dating, and no one suspected anything.
Because she never returned empty-handed.
Moreover, her demeanor clearly showed she was in love.
"My Xiao Xiao has already treated me to meals, shouldn't your boyfriend splurge a bit?"
Lu Youran said playfully while massaging her calves.
"Don't be shy, let us see what he looks like and if he's good enough for you."
Meng Xiyao covered her face and said, "Wait a bit longer, give me some time to be coy."
As she spoke, the topic shifted back to Wen Tingxue.
"After that confession, Bian Wei really hasn't made a move?" Lu Youran gossiped.
Wen Tingxue was speechless, "I already told you, that was from losing a game of truth or dare. He's not interested in me."
"I don't think so."
Lu Youran blew on her face with a small electric fan, her voice a little wavering, "The way he looks at you every time is so affectionate. He definitely likes you!"
Wen Tingxue: "..."
Meng Xiyao's eyes flickered, and she turned to watch television.
-
At noon, in the cafeteria.
Jiao Yutong didn't join Wen Tingxue and the others but found Tang Mobai alone.
"We must have mixed up our meal cards that day."
She handed the meal card in her pocket to Tang Mobai.
Tang Mobai raised an eyebrow, "Mixed up?"
He held the meal card between two fingers and examined it.
"Mmm," a soft gasp escaped his crimson lips, "It really is the wrong one."
"Then what should we do?" he asked, looking at her with extreme laziness.
Jiao Yutong: "We can just switch them back."
She only realized the meal card was wrong today.
So, what he had eaten was her loss.
"Switch them back?"
Tang Mobai touched his chin, looking a bit troubled. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden halo around him.
Jiao Yutong lowered her eyes slightly, "If you're worried about losing out, I can compensate you for the money these past few days."
"Tsk," Tang Mobai rubbed his hair, "I'm not worried about losing out."
"?"
Jiao Yutong looked up in confusion. Tang Mobai took out a meal card from his pocket.
"Sorry, I've been treating people to meals these past few days, so it's all spent."
Jiao Yutong's face finally showed an expression other than indifference. "All spent?!"
Her eyes widened slightly, and she asked in disbelief and anger, "I topped it up for a whole month, and it's all gone?!"
"Ah..." Tang Mobai sheepishly rubbed his nose.
"You can use mine first," he said.
Jiao Yutong frowned, "Then what about you?"
"Me..." The young man smiled, "I'll just starve."
Jiao Yutong looked at him.
"..." Tang Mobai said truthfully, "I spent all my money on sneakers. Now, my pockets are cleaner than my face."
Jiao Yutong was speechless with anger. After a moment, she asked, "How much money was on your card?"
Tang Mobai thought for a moment, "I topped up about two thousand yuan."
Jiao Yutong pursed her lips in silence.
As time passed, Tang Mobai said, "You use mine for now, I can ask my roommate..."
"Do you mind eating with me?" Jiao Yutong's voice rang out a moment after his.
Their voices overlapped. Tang Mobai closed his mouth and then nodded, "I don't mind."
"Then let's go."
Jiao Yutong turned and walked away.
Tang Mobai's lips curled up, and he followed.
While eating, Tang Mobai received a request for money from his roommate and transferred three thousand without batting an eye.
The ringing of the phone wasn't muted, and Jiao Yutong looked up in confusion: "?"
Tang Mobai said calmly, "My roommate helped me buy new sneakers that arrived, and I can't exactly not pay him, can I?"
"Then..." you could have waited a couple of days.
Before she could finish, voices from around them erupted:
"Lu Youran, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
