Thanks to Ling Yun's wit and humor, the atmosphere in the live - streaming room soon began to warm up.
Ji Siyue gradually started to relax.
After a day of live - streaming, Ji Siyue sat down to seriously think about what Qin Chengyao had said to her.
He said he was jealous and told her to think about how to cheer him up. He also said he wouldn't interfere with her live - streaming life...
What on earth was all this about? Why did she feel her mind was getting more and more muddled?
Sunday passed, and the end - of - term season began.
Every end - of - term, Ji Siyue didn't live like a normal person. She frantically reviewed, looking haggard. Even so, she could only barely pass.
Sometimes she wondered why, despite her hard work, her grades were still so poor. Was it really related to the head injury she had once suffered?
Since the end - of - term was approaching, she informed her company and the union in advance. After discussing how to make up for the missed live - streams after the end - of - term, she posted a statement on her Weibo, saying that she was about to have her finals and thus wouldn't be live - streaming for the next half - month.
The comments were full of understanding. They told her to review well and not to neglect her studies.
Ji Siyue scrolled through a few comments, replied to some, and then turned off her phone, starting to review seriously.
After dealing with some miscellaneous matters, she could finally calm down and review. She could even absorb some knowledge points.
While doing a math problem, she got stuck.
On her WeChat, the chat windows with Ling Yun and Qin Chengyao were side by side. Ji Siyue first clicked on Qin Chengyao's, but then she suddenly remembered that she hadn't figured out how to cheer him up. After some thought, she silently opened the other chat window.
[Ji Yue Ji]: Are you there?
[Ling Yun]: Yes.
[Ji Yue Ji]: I'm really stuck on a math problem. Didn't you say you're a math major? Could you please take a look at it? If you're busy, it's okay.
[Ling Yun]: Sure, I'm free now. Just send it over.
Ji Siyue quickly took a photo of the problem that had stumped her and sent it via WeChat. Soon, there was a reply. It was a photo of a draft paper with very delicate handwriting. The problem - solving steps were very detailed, and someone with her level could understand them at a glance.
[Ji Yue Ji]: Was it really that simple?
[Ling Yun]: Math is actually very simple. You just make it too complicated. I can teach you math. If you have any questions, you can ask me. All the knowledge points are in there. Just read them a few times and you should get it.
[Ji Yue Ji]: Okay, okay, okay. Thank you so much. I'll go back to doing my problems.
After putting down her phone, Ji Siyue got back to her problems seriously. After a while, she suddenly received a call from Tian Cheng.
"Siyue! You're amazing! When did you hook up with that handsome guy?"
Ji Siyue was a bit confused and asked, "What are you talking about?"
After a while, Tian Cheng sent a WeChat message.
Ji Siyue clicked on it and was stunned. It was a screenshot of Ling Yun's Weibo post. He had posted a screenshot of their WeChat chat about the math problem.
The caption read: [Some little fool can't even solve math problems.]
Such a doting tone naturally made all the CP fans go wild.
[Cheng Cheng]: An Wen sent this to me. She's going crazy in the dorm. She's a big fan of you and the senior's CP. Don't do this to her.
[Ji Yue Ji]: What are you talking about! Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go back to doing my problems.
Ji Siyue felt a bit guilty. If An Wen had seen it, would Qin Chengyao also see it?
She hadn't figured out how to cheer him up, but instead, she was chatting with Ling Yun about math problems on WeChat. Anyone would probably misunderstand, right?
Following the principle that a wise man submits to circumstances, Ji Siyue decisively put aside her studies for the moment and called that person.
Strangely, no one answered the phone for a long time.
"Strange. Why isn't he answering?"
She called again, and it took a long time before the call was finally answered.
"What's up?"
The tone on the other end of the phone was clearly not friendly.
Ji Siyue couldn't help but feel scared, but she still forced herself to swallow her saliva and said, "Senior, can we go out for dinner tonight?"
"I..."
"Senior, I really need to talk to you. Please come out with me." Ji Siyue was afraid he would refuse, so she quickly finished her sentence.
After a strange silence on the other end of the phone for a few minutes, he gave a soft reply and then hung up.
After Ji Siyue posted this in the dorm's WeChat group, the girls all offered their advice.
[Zhiyan]: He must be jealous.
[Cheng Cheng]: I don't think it's that simple.
[An Wen]: Ji Siyue, you'd better give me an explanation. Are you going to betray your master?
Ji Siyue was speechless looking at their reactions. Then she told them about the CP hype with the company.
After hearing this, they all said they understood.
[Cheng Cheng]: So when you invited the senior out for dinner, he almost refused you, right?
[Ji Yue Ji]: Yes. I had to quickly finish my sentence before he agreed to come out with me. Give me some advice. How should I cheer him up today?
[Zhiyan]: You look so confused now. It's just like a boyfriend scratching his head in a hurry after his girlfriend throws a tantrum.
Seeing the word "boyfriend", Ji Siyue felt a strange feeling in her heart.
She shook her head and didn't think about it anymore. Instead, she packed her things and went out to book a restaurant.
After much consideration, she chose the most upscale restaurant within her financial means.
With the advice of the whole dorm, she picked out a nice outfit and rushed to the restaurant.
When she got to the restaurant's entrance, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't told Qin Chengyao the contact information. So she called him.
"Can you come out now?"
"I've got a sudden situation here. Can you wait for me for a while?"
"Okay."
