【4.】

  Due to Shendong's relationship, I am also one of the popular figures in this school. Mainly because Shendong is too eye-catching, every year when the freshmen enter school, I always hear new students talking about Shendong in places like the cafeteria and library. To the point where I'm starting to doubt whether my boyfriend is actually the same person as the one they're talking about, who is sometimes "warm and gentle" and sometimes "thunderous and powerful".

  Those three in the dormitory knew that Shen Duan was my boyfriend, but they didn't gossip or spread rumors outside, which I'm very grateful for. After all, we're older now and I strongly dislike this kind of behavior from kids who like to spread rumors.

  That noon after class, I went back to the dormitory and was going to take a nap. When I left in the morning, Shen Zhuang seemed to say that there was an experimental class in the afternoon and asked me to wait for him together.

  I was almost asleep when someone knocked loudly on the dormitory door. I thought to myself, "Those three people have all gone home, who could it be knocking so rudely?" Lying in bed, I really didn't feel like moving, so I shouted out a few times to ask who it was, but no one responded. My suspicions were aroused and I got very angry - after all, someone had dragged me out of bed!

  As soon as the door opened, it was a relatively young girl who looked quite good. Standing next to her was someone who seemed like a close friend, and I couldn't help but think of myself and Tao four years ago, my tone becoming softer as a result.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Excuse me..." She glanced around the room "Is Liu Jia here?"

  "It's me. Do you have something?"

  She looked at me, her deer-like eyes seemed a bit hesitant to speak, the girl next to her pushed her with a "you're being coy again! Don't you want him to attend your birthday party or what?"

  This sentence made me feel relieved, but also not too surprised, after all, this kid's ability to stir up trouble for me is not just once or twice.

  "Hello, senior." She fidgeted with her clothes. "I'm in the same class as Shen Zhong, my name is Zhou Ruixue."

  She suddenly became evasive, unable to continue speaking, and no matter how much the people around her tried to persuade her, she couldn't utter a word. After all, she's just a kid, and it's not like she committed an unforgivable crime. To be honest, I can still remember that she came to find me, her legitimate girlfriend, to discuss things, which shows that she's quite open-minded.

  I turned sideways: "Say something then."

  She hesitated for a moment, and I smiled: "There's no one else in the dormitory, come on in."

  Two people finally felt at ease and followed me into the house. I pulled out two chairs for them, there was no water in the dormitory, so I poured some water from my own thermos that had been stored for hundreds of years into tea cups for them, just to show my intention, they didn't necessarily want to drink it anyway.

  Who knows if Zhou Ruixue was too nervous or what, she actually picked it up and took a sip, I was so scared that my heart was in my throat, thinking to myself that if she spits it out, am I done for?

  Maybe she was too nervous and didn't notice the water's abnormality, a huge stone fell off my heart, I quickly changed the subject: "What brings you here today?"

  "Hmm... senior, it's like this, indeed... She tightly grasped the cup with both hands and looked up at me. "Indeed, I had no choice but to resort to this. Otherwise, even if I had a few more guts, I wouldn't have dared to disturb you."

  What she said was so touching and persuasive that I suspected if I didn't agree with her, I would feel guilty in my heart.

  I smiled: "Since you've found me, I guess it's related to Shen Zhong?"

  As soon as she heard the two words "Shen Dang", her face suddenly turned red, what a pure and innocent girl... I secretly suspected whether Shen Dang would fall in love with this sweet-looking and pure-hearted child.

  "Yes..." she replied softly.

  I glanced at my watch: "Well, let's get down to business. I'm guessing you skipped class to find me, Shen Dong said you still have lab classes. You're wasting time."

  She stared blankly at my wrist for a long time before saying: "He actually bought it for you."

  I furrowed my brow: "What?"

  Zhou Ruixue seemed to have realized she had misspoken and hastily shook her head: "N-nothing."

  Since she didn't say anything, I didn't dare to ask her again, lest others would say that Shen Dong's girlfriend is a petty-minded person. I quietly waited for her to speak up, but in my heart, I was harboring a bellyful of resentment.

  "Sister... this Saturday is my birthday... I want to invite Shen Dang..."

  I turned my head to pretend to tidy up the things on the table, and said lightly: "Then you find him yourself. I'm just his girlfriend, after all. These things, he has to be willing himself."

  "But I'm a girl after all... If I don't discuss this with you, senior sister, I won't be able to rest easy."

  I hadn't even opened my mouth when the phone rang. I guessed it was Shen Zhuang after class, and I said a "sorry" to Zhou Ruixue before walking over to the bed to pick up the phone.

  "Hello."

  "Hey, Liu Jia, I've finished class."

  I glanced at Zhou Ruixue, who was staring at me motionlessly, and my anger grew even more. I said, "Alright, there's something else here. You can either wait for me or go back first."

  "What's wrong? Is it troublesome?" He asked tentatively "You seem to be in a bad mood?"

  I thought of saying to you, take away this idiot who's pursuing me, but I restrained myself in the end. After all, I'm an old man, if even an old man can't keep his cool, how can he manage the overall situation?

  "It's okay, hang up first and I'll call you back later."

  I turned around to see Zhou Ruixue looking at me nervously, I smiled: "I know what you said, but for the time being, I really can't make up my mind. Otherwise, I'll go home and discuss it with Shen Dang... You also know his temper..."

  Seeing me looking embarrassed, she finally relented: "Okay... then thank you, senior."

  "How could I dare? If Shen Zong agreed, it's also because of your good relationship."

  After sending off the two living ancestors, I lay in bed for a long time without moving. After a while, my phone rang, and I saw that it was Shen Zhong. Unwillingly, I picked up: "Hello."

  "Willow Jia... I just realized."

  "Hmmph!"

  He was a bit anxious: "Don't get angry first, I don't know she went back to find you."

  "How did she know about my watch?"

  Shen Duan suddenly fell silent, and this silence thoroughly enraged me. I hung up the phone and pulled out the battery. A person slept in the dormitory until the sky was dark.

  All I can think about is that this guy's graduation gift to me was actually bought with a girl accompanying him.

  Even if you are a high-ranking official's child, even if you treat me well, even if you have money and look good.

  But about this matter, I must make a big deal out of it with you, or else he won't remember the lesson!
