Dear Auntie: What kind of mindless news are you reading instead of attending class?
A report? What report!
Xu Chacha perked up immediately and quickly flipped up.
Oh no! She accidentally sent that saved long news image!
So! Can time be reversed?
Chapter 40 Jealousy
Xu Chacha was very flustered. She had never been this flustered before, not even when she was chatting in class and the teacher suddenly called on her to answer a question she didn't know.
"Help me, help me!" She grabbed Jiang Shu, who was sitting next to her, and looked like she was about to cry. "What should I do?"
Jiang Shu was confused. "What's wrong? Don't panic."
"I sent her that picture." Xu Chacha's brows furrowed into a deep frown.
"Who?" Zhu Zhu was still clueless and poked her head out to look at them.
"My aunt!"
"My God..." the three exclaimed in unison, frozen in place as if they had been struck by lightning.
"The four beauties in the back row." The teacher at the podium finally couldn't help but call on these students who had been gossiping a bit arrogantly. "What's so interesting? Tell me after class, but can you please be quiet during class?"
This teacher is actually quite good-tempered. If it were their professional teacher, Lao Liu, he would have thrown a book at them and made them stand at the back as punishment.
"I'm sorry, teacher, we know we were wrong." As the saying goes, you can't hit someone who's smiling, and Zhu Zhu's attitude in admitting her mistakes has always been very good.
The students turned to look at them, and both boys and girls couldn't help but take the opportunity to glance at Xu Chacha a few more times.
Normally, it would be awkward for my wife to suddenly turn around and stare at someone while walking down the street. Only by taking advantage of this opportunity can I openly glance at her a few times.
The neighboring art academy has produced many internet celebrities, some of whom have tens of thousands of followers and act arrogantly. However, Xu Chacha, who has actually collaborated with top designers, is remarkably low-key.
She was down-to-earth and even quite helpful, a bit like the kind of nice guy who would get bullied in middle school, but with a touch of polite distance and a sense of class distinction.
Even if Xu Chacha is easy to get along with, not everyone can ignore all the labels and accolades behind her and shamelessly strike up a conversation with her.
So, it's enough to just admire her beauty from afar.
"She's so beautiful. If I looked like her, I wouldn't have remained single since birth."
"That's more than that," the girl next to her whispered. "I heard that the most handsome guy in our junior year has been searching everywhere for information about her and trying to get her contact information. Think about it, really think about it."
"Oh~"
Xu Chacha was so preoccupied with how to reply to Wen Mubai that she had no idea people were talking about her.
"Why don't you reply with...not the person in question?" Even Zhu Zhu was stumped.
Jiang Shu patted her on the shoulder, "Silly girl, isn't this obviously a lie?"
"Huh?" Xu Chacha paused for a moment, then raised her head, her beautiful eyes wide open. "What should I do? I've already sent it."
The three of them fell silent.
"Turn off your phone and pretend you're not there."
...
After three classes in the morning, we weren't in a hurry to go to the crowded cafeteria, so the four of us walked very slowly.
Zhu Zhu, who always looked down at her phone and never watched where she was going, took a step forward with someone by her arm. She quickly saw a bombshell message in the group chat: "Hey, they said there's a friendly basketball game this afternoon, and the campus heartthrob is going too. Shall we go watch?"
"There must be a lot of people there." Xu Chacha didn't really want to go; she hated any place that smelled of sweat.
"I'll go grab seats for you guys early." Zhu Zhu grabbed her arm and started shaking it. "Okay, tea darling, let's go together, let's go together. It would be against all reason not to look at handsome guys."
Xu Chacha thought to herself, "I'm the one who's absolutely outrageous," but she still turned to the others and asked, "What about you guys? You want to see handsome guys too?"
Jiang Shu: "I don't care. Anyway, someone will definitely film it and post it on forums and WeChat Moments. I can secure a front-row spot without leaving home." WeChat Official Account: lesbian2088, all yuri resources available.
Su Qing chuckled, "I want to see, my boyfriend is here."
"Boy friend!?"
"Like I told you before, we met in the student council, and we officially became a couple last night." Su Qing blushed slightly.
Su Qing joined the less popular sports department. Xu Chacha recalled that the head of the sports department was indeed a handsome and sunny senior, which was Su Qing's type.
"Fine, you just left me to get a girlfriend without a word, I'll strangle you!" Zhu Zhu viciously lunged at Su Qing's neck.
Jiang Shu grabbed Xu Chacha and fled the battlefield, shouting, "Run! She's gone mad again!"
Xu Chacha laughed out loud, "She's only the first one to find a boyfriend. What if she's the only one left in the whole dorm who's single? Will she be crying her eyes out?"
Wait, why is she so confident that she will find a partner before Zhu Zhu?
They only had one class in the afternoon, and it was still quite early when they came out of the teaching building, but Zhu Zhu was worried that she wouldn't be able to get a seat, so she insisted on going to the basketball court an hour early to reserve one.
“I’ll go with you,” Su Qing said. “My boyfriend asked me to bring him some water.”
"Eh—" The others almost simultaneously let out this long sound, their expressions deliberately exaggerated in their disgust.
"What are you doing?" Su Qing slapped Xu Chacha, who was closest to her, and said shyly, "If you want to find someone too, I'll ask him to help organize a matchmaking event. There are plenty of single juniors anyway."
"Is he handsome or not?" That was the only question Zhu Zhu cared about.
"Actually... some of them are really quite good-looking," Su Qing recalled.
Xu Chacha wasn't interested in the topic. "I'm going back to my dorm to put my books away. Call me when it's about to start."
“I’ll go with you,” Jiang Shu said.
"Please bring our books too."
"Here you go." Xu Chacha took their books and walked side by side with Jiang Shu back to the dormitory.
...
stadium
Zhu Zhu and her friends arrived very early. There weren't many people in the stands, and a few boys in sports uniforms were sitting there changing their shoes.
Everyone knew about Su Qing and Zhou Yang's affair, and when they saw the two beautiful young women come in, they all started to tease them.
Su Qing was holding a bottle of water, which she had bought for Zhou Yang. Hearing their voices, she blushed and lowered her head.
Zhou Yang called her name, dropped the basketball he was holding, and ran over, saying, "Coming."
"Why did you specifically ask someone else to buy you water?" A boy with short black hair followed behind Zhou Yang. "Was the Nongfu Spring water that the department prepared not sweet enough?"
Zhu Zhu and Su Qing exchanged a glance and recognized the short black-haired man as Fang Jianren, the legendary three-time winner of the title of "most handsome man in the Academy of Literature," and were secretly delighted.
"Stop being so cheeky, girls are easily embarrassed." Zhou Yang nudged his ribs with her elbow and added in a low voice, "Will you die if you don't talk?"
"Wow, you're really spoiled." Fang Jianren chuckled, but still politely changed the subject, "Two beautiful ladies are here to watch the game? Training is still in progress, it won't start for more than an hour."
"Oh, it's alright. We were just killing time, so we came over." Zhu Zhu looked at him. "We'll watch from here. It won't affect your training, will it?"
"It won't affect anything." Fang Jianren smiled, looking quite carefree, but his gaze unconsciously swept towards the door. "There are still two people in your dorm."
"They went back to put their things away, they'll be back in a bit," Su Qing replied.
“Okay.” Fang Jianren nodded, pointing with his long finger to the seats in the first row, “There, your girlfriend saved you a seat a long time ago.”
Su Qing and Zhou Yang exchanged a glance, smiled, and pulled Zhu Zhu along as they ran.
Zhu Zhu's interest had waned. She crossed her legs, resting her chin on her hand, and said, "Tch, boring."
"What's wrong? Weren't you just saying you wanted to come see the most handsome guy in the courtyard?"
"I didn't just want to come and see him, I wanted to woo him!" Zhu Zhu said boldly. "But did you see the look in his eyes just now? He definitely had his eye on one of the tea treasures, Shu Shu. So how could I possibly have a chance?"
"Oh, it's alright." Su Qing patted her sympathetically. "Men with two legs aren't everywhere."
That's what they say, but this girl has exceptionally high standards. Those who pursue her are considered ordinary, and the ones she likes are either already in love or gay. Although she's been single all this time, her history of unrequited love could fill a fiftyPowerPoint presentation.
The only good thing is that Zhu Zhu gets excited about things quickly but also loses interest just as fast. If one goal doesn't work out, she quickly moves on to the next one. She is always on the road to pursuing love.
After all, if she weren't more carefree, she would end up as a cannon fodder supporting character.
They sat there watching the game for half an hour, while Su Qing looked down and sent messages to the group chat.
Su Qing: Come on over soon, it'll only be a few minutes before you get there.
Xu Chacha: Okay, get up now.
Zhu Zhu: It's only been a short time, and you're already lying down? You haven't even taken off your makeup, have you? You don't look like a pretty girl anymore.
Xu Chacha: I won't listen.jpg
It wasn't as exaggerated as Zhu Zhu made it out to be; at least she hadn't removed her makeup yet because she had to see Wen Mubai that afternoon.
She and Jiang Shu leisurely got up, put on their shoes, and then strolled over to the supermarket to buy some snacks.
This habit was all caused by Chen Qianqian; she habitually goes for food every time she gets out of school.
"Don't you need to control your weight?" Jiang Shu had been wanting to ask this for a while. "I've never seen you eat less of this before."
Xu Chacha didn't slow down at all when choosing snacks. Controlling weight is a bit of a mystery. Although it might sound like she'd be envied, she really doesn't gain weight easily. Although she loves snacks, she eats very little staple food. When she has work, she can get back in shape by cramming for a week.
The main issue is that she doesn't take on many jobs unless someone calls on her to fill in for her; otherwise, she's not interested.
Having risked my life to make money by modeling in my past life, I'm left with some psychological trauma.
"It's alright, I just buy a lot, but I can't eat more than a few bites."
Jiang Shu frowned as she recalled that it seemed to be true; all the snacks were eventually eaten by the other girls in her dorm. She said she had gained a lot of weight since the start of the semester compared to when she was at home.
"Damn?" If Jiang Shu didn't know Xu Chacha's personality, she would have suspected that she was deliberately fattening them up.
Xu Chacha is a slowpoke. She almost forgot the time while shopping at the supermarket. When she arrived, the stadium doors were already closed. Zhu Zhu, who was sitting in the front row, kept giving her meaningful glances, telling her to go through the back door.
Xu Chacha nodded, but before she could turn around, she saw a tall man running over to open the door for them.
"You must be Su Qing's roommates, come in quickly."
Only when she got closer did Xu Chacha recognize who he was—the campus heartthrob who was practically being hailed as a god. He had black hair with a red headband, and fine beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.
"Thank you," Xu Chacha whispered to him.
