“I feel like senior sister and I really click~ Ehehe~” Ni Sihan said shyly, twisting her body back and forth.
Gu Yuqi had no interest in listening to such sweet talk; she was single-mindedly focused entirely on Liang Sheng.
Tsk, she’s actually ignoring me. Ni Sihan fumed. Looks like it’s time to add more fuel to the fire and make the flames burn even hotter!
“Ah, right, Senior Sister.” Ni Sihan leaned in close to Gu Yuqi, looking all mysterious and gossipy. “Let me tell you, I think Liang Sheng and that school doctor from the infirmary, uh, the one called Mo Qingrou…”
“Hm?!” Gu Yuqi instantly perked up, her gaze piercing as she locked eyes with the other.
Ni Sihan smiled faintly—this was exactly the effect she wanted!
Seeing that she had successfully piqued the other’s interest, Ni Sihan continued: “Earlier, when I went in, I think I heard something like ‘feelings’ or ‘I like you’ or whatever. You don’t think those two are… cough cough cough. Of course, it could just be girls chatting about TV dramas or something.”
Gu Yuqi froze, staring blankly at the basketball hoop in the distance, her thoughts drifting off to who knows where.
TV drama? No way—Little Junior Sister Liang Sheng doesn’t like watching them. Gu Yuqi truly felt that heart-scratching, liver-itching emotion.
But dating a woman or something… They’re both girls—how could that be?! Gu Yuqi suddenly snapped out of it. Right, who says two girls can’t date!!?
All along, it was always me denying my feelings, comforting myself that between two girls, there could only be friendship, not love. But while she thinks that, others might not see it the same way!
What’s more… her Little Junior Sister Liang Sheng is so cute, so likable.
Gu Yuqi’s mind was once again a complete mess.
But, why does Liang Sheng want to date that icy cold woman? Why not find a girl like me, who’s tall, handsome, rich, and especially gentle, to date?
Ahem, probably because she’s been around the shameless Liang Sheng for too long, Gu Yuqi has also become a bit—no, actually, particularly narcissistic.
No matter how I think about it, something feels off.
No, Gu Yuqi abruptly stood up. She was going to find Liang Sheng and get a straight answer.
“Senior sister?” Ni Sihan jolted in surprise at the other’s sudden rise to her feet, then quickly stood up as well.
Gu Yuqi politely smiled at Ni Sihan. “Thank you for bandaging my wound. I have something else to do, so I’ll head out first. Uh, next time I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Ni Sihan bit her lower lip, staring stubbornly at the other’s back.
Suddenly.
“Senior Sister!” Ni Sihan ran up and grabbed the hem of Gu Yuqi’s clothes.
Gu Yuqi looked puzzled and turned around. “What’s wrong? Is there something else?”
“You, you…” Ni Sihan didn’t know how to start speaking, but that was what she was thinking—she couldn’t let the duck that was already in hand just fly away like that.
“Hm?” Gu Yuqi anxiously raised her hand and glanced at the watch face on her wrist, realizing there were still over twenty minutes until class. Oh no, if she stayed here any longer, she wouldn’t have time to go find Liang Sheng later.
Gu Yuqi looked at Ni Sihan and found her still humming and hawing, unable to say a single word for a long time.
“Excuse me, Junior Ni Sihan, what exactly are you trying to say?” Gu Yuqi currently had no mood to maintain her gentle attitude.
Going all out! Ni Sihan gritted her teeth—if it doesn’t succeed, then die a martyr!
“Senior Sister!” Ni Sihan shouted.
This loud shout had changed the startled target to Gu Yuqi.
“W-What’s wrong?” Gu Yuqi stammered, widening her big eyes.
Ni Sihan steeled herself, squeezed her eyes shut. “Actually, actually, actually, everything I said earlier was a lie to Senior Sister!!!”
“Huh??” Gu Yuqi froze in place, dumbfounded. “W-What do you mean, lied to me?”
Could it be those ambiguous words about Liang Sheng and Doctor Mo Qingrou? Gu Yuqi couldn’t help but think hopefully.
No way, right? How could something good about Liang Sheng come out of Ni Sihan’s mouth?
“It’s those words I said that were kinda vague!” Ni Sihan cracked her eyes open just a slit. “Actually, actually, what those two said was…”
Ni Sihan’s expression turned grave.
Gu Yuqi’s heart sank with a thud, sensing something was wrong.
“It’s about…” Ni Sihan kept dragging it out. Ha, mainly because she had no clue how to spin the next lie.
She wasn’t in a hurry, but Gu Yuqi was. She raised her arm, grabbed the other’s shoulder, looking extremely tense.
“Can you say it faster?”
Ni Sihan lowered her head, eyes darting.
“Ah, actually, what Liang Sheng and Doctor Mo Qingrou were talking about seemed to be Liang Sheng temporarily acting as Mo Qingrou’s girlfriend or something, helping Mo Qingrou rediscover the feeling of love and stuff like that.”
What Ni Sihan said was mostly similar to what Liang Sheng and Mo Qingrou had actually said. Sticking to the principle of half-truths and half-lies, she left herself a very wide escape route.
Gu Yuqi’s hand slowly slid off Ni Sihan’s shoulder. She fell silent again.
Mmm~ Looks like she won’t go looking for Liang Sheng for now. Ni Sihan couldn’t help snickering inwardly. Time to strike while the iron is hot and keep going!
“Senior Sister?” Ni Sihan gazed at Gu Yuqi’s lowered head with eyes full of special concern. She reached out her little hand, wanting to pat the other’s back and offer some love and comfort.
Ni Sihan’s hand gently landed on Gu Yuqi’s back.
Unexpectedly, it was ruthlessly dodged this time too.
Why still…? Ni Sihan frowned, puzzled, looking at Senior Sister Gu who was still keeping her head down.
The dodge was just Gu Yuqi’s instinctive reaction; she actually wasn’t very used to too much physical contact with others.
“Senior Sister…” Ni Sihan gritted her teeth and continued, “I can tell how you feel about Liang Sheng, but… why not think about the other people who like you?”
Gu Yuqi slowly lifted her head and looked at Ni Sihan.
Ni Sihan gazed at her affectionately. “Senior Sister, you can tell how I feel about you, right?”
What? Gu Yuqi, who had been hit with blow after blow, was stunned silly by this sudden confession from the girl in front of her.
Equally stunned was Teacher Dong Yue, who had forgotten her dorm key and could only sit behind a tree reading a book.
She had been sitting here for quite a while, and she’d heard every word of these two kids’ conversation crystal clear.
No way, no way? No way! Are young people these days this bold? Dong Yue blinked in mosquito-coil eyes, a bit lost in trying to sort out this so-called “love triangle.”
Meanwhile, outside, Ni Sihan kept sweet-talking Gu Yuqi. “Senior Sister, even if you just use me as a tool to make Liang Sheng jealous, it’s fine. How about you and I give it a try?”
Give it a try? Not? Make Liang Sheng jealous? Reject? Or accept? Gu Yuqi tilted her head, unable to speak for a long time.
