The thick joy spread from her chest all the way to her brain, as colorful and dazzling as fireworks.
She still cared about him to some extent.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately asked if it was a boy or a girl.
"It was Jia Fang who ordered takeout for me. He said this is very popular recently," Chi Xu said softly, afraid of disturbing this moment.
He stared intently at Jiang Yuan, with a slight ripple in the bottom of his eyes.
Remembering the ineffable feelings of last night, his heart was wrapped in sour and astringent emotions.
"A boy like Jia Fang would deliberately order this kind of takeout for you?" Jiang Yuan was skeptical. She sized Chi Xu up and down carefully and whispered, "I'm almost starting to doubt his sexual orientation."
At this moment, innocent Jia Fang lying in the dormitory: "..."
Seemingly realizing that Chi Xu had heard this, Jiang Yuan immediately changed the topic: "You don't like desserts. How could Jia Fang buy them for you? You've been roommates for over a year..."
There were so many loopholes...
Chi Xu already regretted using the excuse of someone else giving it. He should have just been straightforward and said that he bought it for her.
"Actually, I bought it," Chi Xu couldn't help interrupting Jiang Yuan's wandering thoughts and raised his voice.
Sure enough, the next second.
Jiang Yuan widened her eyes, slightly opened her mouth, pointed at the strawberry cake in the enamel basin, then at Chi Xu, and didn't say a word for a long time.
"To celebrate us becoming roommates," Chi Xu blurted out in one breath. He stared at the surprised Jiang Yuan and continued to explain, "This cake has been very popular recently, so I bought it."
"You scared me. I thought you were a worm in my stomach. How did you know I wanted to eat the strawberry cake in the enamel basin?"
Jiang Yuan covered her chest and pretended to pat it exaggeratedly. The joy in her eyes was undeniable, with a bright smile.
It almost shook the depths of Chi Xu's heart.
Chi Xu let out a soft chuckle. He glanced at the time. There was still time. He pulled out the chair beside her and invited her to sit down.
"There's still time. Let's eat some together. We can put the rest in the fridge if we can't finish it."
"Thank you. I've been craving this for a long time."
After confirming that there was still time, Jiang Yuan sat down and ate a quarter of the cake with Chi Xu. Then she rushed to the teaching building for class in a hurry.
Well, it did taste good.
While jogging to the teaching building, Jiang Yuan typed a message to Lin Suye.
[Wish Must Come True: Do you know? Do you know? Chi Xu actually bought me the strawberry cake in the enamel basin that I've been wanting to eat recently!]
[Wish Must Come True: At first, he didn't want to admit it. He was so stubborn and insisted that it was Jia Fang who bought it. But finally, under my keen observation, I found something wrong, and he admitted that he bought it himself.]
She omitted the fact that they accidentally became roommates.
[Yezi: Wow, awesome, Yuanyuan. Chi Xu will be captured by you sooner or later. I'm waiting for good news from you.]
[Yezi: Aren't you going to participate in the volunteer association's activity this afternoon? Wuwuwu, we won't be able to have lunch together again.]
It was Sunday today, but Jiang Yuan thought the teacher who arranged classes on Sunday was really crazy.
Which college student or professor would like to have classes on the weekend?
One didn't want to listen, and the other didn't want to teach.
Jiang Yuan complained about the teaching affairs office teacher who arranged the classes in her heart. Then she remembered that the members of the volunteer association would gather in the school hall at one o'clock this afternoon and go to the nursing home together for this public welfare activity.
Chi Xu was the president of the association, so he had to show up to lead the members to the destination.
Jiang Yuan found out later that besides her, Zhou Xiangmeng also signed up for the volunteer association.
This activity was divided into the activity group, the performance group, and the logistics group.
Jiang Yuan chose the tiring logistics group because the spots in the activity group were full when she saw the notice.
She had no talents and didn't like performing in front of others, so she naturally chose the logistics group.
Chi Xu specially applied to the school for a bus. After class and lunch, Jiang Yuan came directly to the bus and casually picked a seat in the back to sit down.
There was no one there at this time.
Jiang Yuan pulled the curtain and closed her eyes to rest.
She didn't know how long she had slept in a daze. People gradually got on the bus and chattered non - stop.
It was so noisy that it gave her a headache.
Jiang Yuan simply stopped sleeping. She opened her eyes and stared blankly at a certain place in front of her.
"Are you awake?" A deep voice suddenly rang in her ear. Jiang Yuan seemed to be startled. She suddenly turned her head and saw Chi Xu.
When did this guy sit next to her?
She had no impression at all.
"Here, water," Chi Xu took out a bottle of mineral water from under the seat.
Jiang Yuan unscrewed it and took a few sips, then stopped. She was lazy, and her voice was still hoarse from just waking up: "Why don't you sit in the front? Everyone is counting on you to direct."
Actually, she also wanted to ask when he came.
But she thought that Chi Xu was the person in charge of this activity, so he naturally needed to come early, so she didn't ask.
"The vice - president is organizing. I'm just a nominal president, so I can take it easy," Chi Xu shrugged helplessly.
Jiang Yuan stood up a little and looked towards the driver. Sure enough, there was a strange boy coordinating in the front.
The vice - president called the roll to make sure everyone was there, then asked the driver to drive to the nursing home.
Maybe it was the first time for most of the students on the bus to take the school bus, and they were freshmen. They were full of curiosity about the surrounding environment and kept talking without any sign of stopping.
Jiang Yuan leaned back lazily and didn't want to move.
Chi Xu brought Bluetooth earphones and handed one to her, signaling with his eyes if she wanted to listen to music together.
Jiang Yuan didn't refuse. She just stuffed it into her ear.
Most of the noise on the bus disappeared instantly, and everything around seemed to blur.
The soothing music flowed in her ear. She and he sat together, listening to the same song.
"Hey, do you know Lu Zhen from the neighboring school...? I saw him for the first time. He's really handsome. I'm going to support him as my new male god."
"Is he that handsome? Don't you like your Chi Xu?" Someone was joking.
The fragmented voices inevitably fell into Jiang Yuan's ears. She listened absent - mindedly and didn't care.
"It's different. His handsomeness is different from Chi Xu's... Chi Xu is the kind of handsome scoundrel type, while Lu Zhen from the neighboring school is so cool and handsome. I like him so much. He gives me a full sense of security."
"I know about him. He often came to the snack street near our school some time ago... The confession wall has exploded... All the messages are confessions to him."
"Yes, yes. He also did a heroic deed. He saved a little girl near our school who was almost hit by a car, and then he became famous in our school."
"Lu Zhen is really amazing. Sisters, next time we meet him, we must ask for his WeChat, okay?"
Lu Zhen?
Was it the "Lu" of "mainland" and the "Zhen" of "true"?
Was it the Lu Zhen she knew?
Listening to the music, Jiang Yuan's nerves gradually relaxed, and her body leaning on the back of the chair became more and more comfortable.
She closed her eyes slightly and fell asleep again.
