"Hey, you two over there! What are you doing? The library is for studying, not for making out!"
It was the library administrator!
Ji Siyue quickly shrank her head back. She didn't dare to look at the administrator, nor at Qin Chengyao.
Were they about to kiss just now? How embarrassing!
"I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself," Qin Chengyao explained to Ji Siyue very seriously.
Ji Siyue felt as if colorful fireworks were suddenly set off in her heart. She was so flustered that she didn't know which way was up.
What did "couldn't help myself" mean? Did it mean that he liked her so much that he couldn't control himself?
Thinking of this, she didn't dare to think any further. She quickly shook her head to sober herself up. "It... It's okay. I don't care."
"Don't you care who wants to kiss you?"
If that person was Qin Chengyao, it didn't seem so bad. At least she didn't dislike it.
After thinking for a while, Ji Siyue nodded very seriously.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chengyao's expression suddenly changed. From the eager anticipation just now, it turned into something more meaningful.
She couldn't understand it. When she asked him, he didn't say anything. In the end, she had to give up.
There were almost no people left in the library. Everyone had gone for lunch.
"Gurgle, gurgle—"
Ji Siyue's stomach suddenly growled without warning. Qin Chengyao noticed it and subconsciously looked at her.
She covered her stomach and stole a shy look at him. Qin Chengyao smiled, then packed up his things.
"Let's go."
Ji Siyue suddenly looked up. "Where are we going?"
"For lunch. We've been studying all morning. Aren't you hungry?" As he said this, he gave a meaningful look at Ji Siyue's stomach. Ji Siyue immediately understood what he meant. She blushed and nodded. Then she packed up her books and went out with Qin Chengyao.
When they reached the door of the college supermarket, Ji Siyue saw Qin Chengyao walk in silently again. She stood at the door and waited.
After a while, he came out with only a carton of chocolate milk in his hand.
Watching him insert the straw, Ji Siyue felt a bit disappointed.
He knew she liked it. Why didn't he even ask her a single word...
Ji Siyue also knew it was wrong to think this way about him. After all, he had no obligation to buy it for her. But at least asking her would make her feel better...
Just as she was thinking all these messy things in her mind, a hand suddenly appeared in front of her, holding a carton of chocolate milk.
"This..."
"It's for you. What? Can't you wait just because I inserted a straw first?" There was a smile in Qin Chengyao's voice.
Ji Siyue was extremely embarrassed for a moment. She thought that maybe her disappointed emotions had all been written on her face.
"No."
"Take it. Have a little something to tide you over. I'll treat you to a good meal today. Okay?"
There was even a hint of doting in his tone. Ji Siyue somehow took it and took a sip. The mellow taste of chocolate immediately spread in her mouth.
"Why do you like chocolate milk?" Qin Chengyao asked as they walked.
"Um..."
Ji Siyue tried to recall and then replied, "I don't know. It seems that... someone used to always buy this for me. Then I got used to drinking it. Whenever I drink other beverages, I always feel they don't taste right. When I first met you, senior, weren't you also grabbing for a carton of milk?"
As she said these words, she also shook the milk carton in her hand. She looked as content as a well - fed kitten.
What she didn't know was that when she said these words, a flash of obvious sadness suddenly crossed Qin Chengyao's eyes as he quietly watched her from the side. It was a pity that she was still drinking the milk and didn't have the time to notice.
After a while, Qin Chengyao took Ji Siyue's wrist on his own initiative and led her forward. "Let's go. It's time for lunch."
Ji Siyue's attention was all on the hand that was holding hers. She didn't notice anything else. She was extremely shy during lunch and was all fidgety. She even disliked herself.
When she got back to the dormitory, she was directly blocked by Tian Cheng.
"You'd better confess. Where have you been?"
"I... I went to the library. You know that."
Tian Cheng couldn't hold back any longer. She jumped over and hugged her excitedly.
"You're amazing! You're so awesome!"
"What? What are you talking about?"
Ji Siyue was a bit confused. Although she had been going to the library every Sunday since she entered college, there was no need for her roommate to save all the compliments until now, right?
"You're still pretending to be stupid? Are you together with Qin Chengyao?"
Ji Siyue was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you see him send me back again?"
Seeing that Ji Siyue still seemed to know nothing, Tian Cheng finally got anxious. She pushed Ji Siyue into the dormitory and made her sit down. "Open our school's forum and take a look. Now it's not just me who knows."
Hearing that it was related to Qin Chengyao, Ji Siyue couldn't help but feel worried. So she quickly opened the school's forum.
She instinctively opened the gossip forum. Sure enough, the top post was about her.
[Shocking! The campus prince was caught getting intimate with an unknown girl from the computer department in public!]
When she scrolled down, Ji Siyue felt as if she had been turned to stone on the spot.
These photos were taken in the library. The first one showed the two of them studying together. The second one was a photo of when he was about to kiss her. Although their lips didn't touch, from this angle, it looked as if they had actually kissed!
Ji Siyue was in a complete mess.
When were these taken? Why didn't she know?
Seeing her in a daze, Tian Cheng scrolled down for her. "Look at the photos of you two having lunch below!"
Taking another look, it was a photo of Qin Chengyao picking up food for Ji Siyue. In the photo, she was lowering her head as if she was shy, while Qin Chengyao was smiling.
Looking at these pictures one after another, it looked more and more like they were in a relationship!
"I... When were all these taken?"
Tian Cheng gave her a meaningful look. "Naturally, they were taken when you were doing those things! You'd better confess. When did you manage to snag him?"
"What do you mean by'snag him'? Besides, I didn't snag him..."
Ji Siyue murmured the last sentence to herself, even with a hint of grievance that she didn't even notice.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing! Stop talking. I'm going to preview the lessons for Monday!"
Tian Cheng obviously still wanted to know more, but it was no use. Ji Siyue climbed onto her bed and curled up under the quilt like an ostrich.
She was blushing.
Hiss...
Being in a relationship with Qin Chengyao? It was really something she had never thought about!
