So Xiao Su had such a dark past too, hilarious, holding a grudge for life after getting dumped by a cat.
I'll have to try giving her the cold shoulder for a while and see how she reacts, hehe.
As Jiang Linyuan pondered this, he suddenly realized something incredibly strange.
With Xiao Su being someone who cared so much about saving face, how could she casually tell the Department Head about something like this?
Weren't the two of them supposed to have a particularly bad relationship?
Shen Wanyu closed her eyes and said:
"Ask."
Can't you read minds!
"I'm lazy. You tell me."
Damn, she's not even pretending anymore.
"Department Head, how did you know about this?"
"That cat of hers was kept at my place."
Shen Wanyu said lightly.
Huh?
Jiang Linyuan sensed something was off and cautiously asked:
"Department Head, did you know when the cat ran away?"
"Yeah."
Shen Wanyu nodded:
"I watched it run out. After all, it wasn't my cat."
"Department Head, have you ever considered that this might be why Xiao Su holds a grudge against you?"
Jiang Linyuan asked.
"Is that so."
Shen Wanyu thought for a moment, then said indifferently, without a care:
"Then so be it."
So the Department Head didn't actually not know why she was disliked. Turns out she simply didn't care at all.
But still, did the Department Head even keep cats?
"Jiang Linyuan."
Shen Wanyu called his name again, her calm eyes fixed on him:
"I don't keep other people's cats. The cat I keep must belong to me."
Jiang Linyuan was stunned for a moment before asking:
"So what kind of cat does the Department Head think would be the one you keep?"
Shen Wanyu withdrew her gaze and said flatly:
"First, it has to come to like me as its owner. Of course, whether I like it or not is my own business."
The night was slightly cold. She tucked her long hair, lifted by the autumn wind, behind her ear, a faint smile on her face.
Jiang Linyuan smiled too:
"Department Head, I feel the same way. First, I need to make the cat like me."
"Is that so."
Shen Wanyu nodded and said for the third time tonight:
"Then so be it."
After the two finished eating, the sky was almost completely dark. They each returned to their schools.
Jiang Linyuan pulled out his phone and unblocked the Thief Saint.
When he got back to the dormitory building, he saw a girl squatting at the entrance, hugging her knees.
"Have you eaten?"
He walked over and asked.
Hearing his voice, the girl lifted her head sharply, and the dimness on her face immediately lit up:
"Senior, you're back?"
"How long have you been waiting?"
Jiang Linyuan sat down naturally beside her and asked.
"Not long, just a few minutes."
Yu Songsong had a mischievous grin on her face and winked at him.
"Is that so? Something you need to talk about?"
"I just wanted to see Senior."
"I'm not going to suddenly disappear..."
"But you blocked me for so long."
Yu Songsong's tone was somewhat displeased.
Don't you have any idea why I blocked you?
Seeing her face flushed red from the cold, Jiang Linyuan spoke a bit more gently:
"Junior, your possessiveness is too strong."
"I know."
Yu Songsong lowered her head and replied softly. Then she suddenly smiled:
"Senior, you waited a few minutes for me, so can you lend me a few minutes?"
Before Jiang Linyuan could answer, she pounced on him, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her head against his chest:
"Just a few minutes is enough."
Jiang Linyuan pushed at her, but she shoved forward even harder, using her chest as a battering ram and muttering:
"You won't even give me a few minutes? So stingy!"
"If I give you a few minutes today, you'll want more next time. Junior, I'm not your boyfriend. I'm just your senior. I have my own life, and so do you."
Jiang Linyuan pushed her again, using a bit more force.
Yu Songsong was pushed away and glared at him:
"You're single! I'm single! So I can't pursue you, Senior?!"
"Who hugs and cuddles before even getting together?!"
"How else am I supposed to win you over?!"
Another day of being infuriated by a cringe woman.
Jiang Linyuan ignored her, turned around, and went upstairs.
Yu Songsong stomped her feet in frustration and shouted:
"Jiang Linyuan! I'm not giving up!"
As he scanned his face to enter the building, the dormitory aunt hesitated for a moment before reminding him:
"Kid, that girl was waiting for you. I saw her standing there for nearly an hour. She really likes you."
Jiang Linyuan just nodded.
Waiting for over an hour... Does that sound romantic or moving?
For people who like each other, yes. But for unrequited love, apart from moving yourself, you gain nothing.
No, wait, you might even catch a cold.
You idiot Thief Saint, you could at least bring something for me! Standing there empty-handed, who's going to fall for that?
If standing there like that could make me fall in love, I'd have already gotten together with the streetlight on campus!
A combination of action and a thoughtful gift is the most touching approach.
You should give your most important thing to the person you love most.
That's true for girls, and it's also true for boys.
What's the most important thing for a guy? Of course, it's style!
When you get a circumcision, get the full cut. Don't throw the removed part away. Hang it on a piece of resin to make a one-of-a-kind engagement ring for the girl you love most.
That way, you'll occupy a part of her life, and also a part of her body.
Wouldn't she be over the moon?
Doesn't anyone think this is so romantic?!
...
Yu Songsong watched Jiang Linyuan's retreating figure and pouted.
He just keeps blocking me. It's not like I asked that many questions.
I waited so long, and he wouldn't even let me hug him.
I'll come tomorrow morning and bring Senior some breakfast. I heard that makes boys fall for you.
As she was leaving, she felt like someone was staring at her. She frowned and looked back.
A girl with a camera was pointing it at the night sky, taking pictures.
It was too dark to see her face.
What's there to photograph at a boys' dormitory at night?
She was only mildly puzzled for a moment, then turned and left.
Seeing Yu Songsong walk away, the girl with the camera lowered it, stared in the direction she had left, and bit her lip:
"Another one?"
She looked down at the photos in her camera.
Yu Songsong and Jiang Linyuan embracing each other.
Her chest felt a little tight. Although she had already decided to just watch him from afar...
Still...
It hurts so much.
The girl silently put down her camera and stood in the exact spot where Yu Songsong had embraced Jiang Linyuan.
Under the light, her solitary shadow stretched long.
*Click.*
She took a picture of the shadow and thought to herself.
Be content, Zhang Juntang.
Someone like you... he would never like.
