- Chapter 20 - Jealousy - A Rabbit Does Not Eat the Grass by its Burrow
No one can refuse a sincere heart. Xin Zhu thought to herself, she was truly looking forward to the moment the other party discovered her true colors, or the reaction once she was firmly grasped in her palm.
Such a gentle person would surely break down and cry, right?
“Senior’s ex, and Senior herself, are both very outstanding people. I don’t seem to have anything that can impress Senior, so in that case, I can only put in a thousand times more effort to make myself more excellent, and treat Senior with more sincerity.”
“If Senior ever gets even a little bit tired of me, can you please not block me? I will obediently walk away myself…”
Qiu Shuang was unaware of the other person’s thoughts, merely sighing at the persistence of the young people nowadays, and the other party’s “sincerity.”
She kept saying she didn’t want to make things difficult for her, but the two legs that followed her didn’t stop at all.
The only thing that surprised Qiu Shuang was that during their casual chat at noon, she actually discovered that their hobbies were essentially identical.
Qiu Shuang smiled while looking at the other person’s very cute face. Could it truly be such a coincidence that someone’s hobbies were completely identical to hers?
Qiu Shuang didn’t talk to anyone else about these things; she was pondering a question. Did the other person really like her that much?
Thinking back to when she liked Chen Wanjun, she had indeed done a secret investigation to ensure they could get along well in conversation. If so, then what this junior was doing was nothing special. However, to have dug this deep, it seemed the other person had some skills.
The “joyful” lunch hour ended with the two of them chatting back and forth.
Qi Sijiao waited quietly in the dorm for Qiu Shuang to return. It wasn’t until five minutes past the estimated time that Qi Sijiao sensed something was wrong and decided to go out and look for her.
Based on her understanding of Qiu Shuang, the other person was someone who would absolutely never disrupt her plans; she could even eat the same dish continuously for a month!
So what kind of thing would inexplicably interrupt her plan? Could it be that despicable and shameless Gu Lingxi had kept Senior behind to work again?
At the thought of this, Qi Sijiao felt her teeth clench, so she quickly went to the club and asked the members around Senior.
After learning that there were no recent club activities, Qi Sijiao then found a student from Qiu Shuang’s major.
Qiu Shuang was pretty, had a good personality, and had very strong learning abilities. Many people in the same major were willing to befriend her, as it was easy to be good friends with a top student.
And Qiu Shuang herself was not averse to others copying her notes or homework.
“You mean, Senior left with a short-haired girl at noon?”
The girl looked at Qi Sijiao and nodded. She had a slight impression of Qi Sijiao—she was Qiu’s roommate.
“Yes, um… I think she’s a freshman from the School of Economics and Management. I don’t know her name, but she looked quite cute.”
Qi Sijiao tried her best to give a kind smile, but the moment she turned around, she tightly clenched her fist. She had guarded against everything, yet forgot about this little slut!
She never expected this fool, whom she had paid the least attention to, to be able to ask Senior out, and not even take her along!
It seemed the other party’s danger level needed to be adjusted again, at least to surpass the president.
At this moment, Gu Lingxi, who was working in the club, sneezed.
“What’s wrong, President?”
“I don’t know, maybe I caught a seasonal cold…”
Gu Lingxi shook her head, busy with the work at hand, and her thoughts drifted to another face.
The last meal was a little unpleasant. What about this time? She would see if she could ask the other person out again. Could that shameless roommate still shamelessly follow along?
After Qiu Shuang and Xin Zhu finished their meal, they parted ways. The other person enthusiastically offered to walk her to the dorm building and even bought her a milk tea before leaving. Qiu Shuang was truly a little overwhelmed. It wasn’t until they agreed on a reciprocal gift and she said she was going back to the dorm that this tug-of-war downstairs ended.
“Senior, please just take it. It was Senior who took pity on me and came to my meal. It’s me who took up Senior’s time. If Senior doesn’t accept my gift, I will truly feel ashamed.”
Qiu Shuang held the milk tea in her hand, thought about Xin Zhu’s pitiful little face, and sighed. What a clever, naughty little dog.
However, when she returned to the dorm, all she saw was Qi Sijiao sitting on the bed, silent, seemingly deep in thought.
“You’re back…”
For some reason, when Qiu Shuang entered the room and saw the other person’s demeanor and expression while saying this, she inexplicably felt a sense of a person working late at night and an aggrieved wife.
“Yes, I ate out with a junior today.”
“Is it Xin Zhu from the School of Economics and Management?”
“How did you know?”
Qiu Shuang looked at Qi Sijiao with a puzzled expression. Did the other person put a tracking device on her?
At this moment, her alarm bells went off. Why would the other person know this? Did she investigate her?
How disgusting.
Before Qiu Shuang could think of more terrifying possibilities, Qi Sijiao said:
“You didn’t come back at noon today. I thought there was something going on in the club again, and I wanted to go help you. Then I asked someone, and she said a junior asked you out.”
After hearing Qi Sijiao’s explanation, Qiu Shuang nodded. This reason was barely plausible.
“Hmm, that junior is really strange. Asking Senior out for a meal for no reason. She wouldn’t be trying to use Senior’s connection to ask Senior to do something bad, would she?”
Hearing Qi Sijiao’s words, Qiu Shuang almost laughed. What could she do? She was just a team leader, and the club was not a very important organization.
“It’s nothing. I’m just a team leader, and this club is pretty useless. How could she possibly try to use connections to ask me to do anything?”
“Then why did she ask Senior out for a meal…”
Qi Sijiao’s question instantly stumped Qiu Shuang. Qiu Shuang was pondering a question:
What are you to me?
“Some private matters.”
“Oh, she wouldn’t be pursuing Senior, would she…”
“Maybe. Aren’t young girls now just doing things on a whim?”
Hearing Qiu Shuang say this, Qi Sijiao was a little unhappy. She had been holding back completely because she was considerate of the fact that Senior had just withdrawn from her last relationship and couldn’t quickly move seamlessly to the next one.
The more important thing was that although the two of them were roommates and their relationship was very close, if it fell apart because of so-called love, that would truly be a major disaster avoided.
And to be honest, if it were anyone else, for example, herself, she would definitely refuse to eat the grass by her own burrow.
So, how exactly could she forcibly shove this tender grass into Senior’s mouth?
“This is truly troublesome.”
