At this moment, Zheng Yanyan’s heart was aching, but she couldn’t let go of her pride. After saying that, she kept stealing glances at Zhou Yuwen with the corner of her eye. However, Zhou Yuwen’s expression was very calm at this moment. Zhou Yuwen was all too familiar with this kind of childish temper tantrum, so he pretended not to hear and looked down at his phone. Tao Tian, on the other hand, was stunned after hearing these words. She looked at Zhou Yuwen with suspicion. Zhou Yuwen had never mentioned any conflict with Zheng Yanyan. When Tao Tian was purposely flirting with Zhou Yuwen just now, he even used his girlfriend as an excuse. But now, Zheng Yanyan seemed to imply that they were having a falling out? Tao Tian, looking at Zheng Yanyan’s face which showed all her emotions, suddenly had the urge to take advantage of the situation. She smiled warmly, again becoming the understanding senior, and asked seemingly casually, "Are you two having a spat?" "Who," Zheng Yanyan, who really wasn’t very scheming, heard Tao Tian’s words and wanted to tell her everything. Zhou Yuwen knew that Tao Tian wanted to hear his gossip, so as soon as Tao Tian spoke up, he started chatting with Lu Lin nearby: "Why are you all still outside so late?" Lu Lin rolled her eyes at Zhou Yuwen and said, "Isn’t it because of your little darling?" "Linlin, what nonsense are you talking about?" At this time, Zheng Yanyan became somewhat shy and grabbed Lu Lin’s arm. In fact, Lu Lin herself found it absurd. The two of them were already face to face, yet they couldn’t talk about these matters openly. At this time, Zheng Yanyan surely had doubts about Zhou Yuwen and Tao Tian being together but was unwilling to speak up. So it was left to Lu Lin to raise the question of why Zhou Yuwen was with Tao Tian, the senior, so late. Zhou Yuwen went along with the conversation, saying that he had just finished his part-time job. "Boots Senior, how’s your part-time work going?" Lu Lin asked. "Not bad," In front of the two juniors, Tao Tian acted more normal and given her mature attire, looked very dignified. She said that today, thanks to Zhou Yuwen, she experienced things she hadn’t before. "And I learned a lot." So Tao Tian shared the day’s events with them, such as Zhou Yuwen’s fluent English, his considerate act of buying her milk tea, and offering her a band-aid. Continue your adventure with novelhall.Côm In their exchange, Tao Tian played a linguistic trick. She implied that Zhou Yuwen bought milk tea only for her and, seeing that her feet were blistered by the high heels, he proactively offered her a band-aid. "Really, I’ve discovered that our junior Zhou Yuwen is exceptionally reliable!" Tao Tian had a good grasp of subtlety, expressing Zhou Yuwen’s preferential treatment of her while also maintaining a distance. Upon hearing this, Zheng Yanyan felt sour inside and snorted, "Has he ever been that nice to his own girlfriend?" To which Tao Tian asked, surprised, "No way? Yanyan, isn’t Zhou Yuwen nice to you?" Zhou Yuwen was actually exasperated with Zheng Yanyan’s typical girl’s emotions and said, "There you go again, talking nonsense. Haven’t I always treated you well? How many cosmetics did I bring back for you from Macau?" "I don’t want your cosmetics! You haven’t paid any attention to me for three days, why don’t you mention that?" No sooner had Zhou Yuwen finished speaking than Zheng Yanyan immediately broke down, looking pitiful and on the verge of tears in front of Zhou Yuwen. Seeing Zheng Yanyan looking so pitiful, Zhou Yuwen said, "Then why didn’t you reach out to me?" "Why should I be the one to reach out? You never take the initiative!" Zheng Yanyan replied pitifully. Zhou Yuwen, with one hand slung over his suit and the other in his trouser pocket, looked at Zheng Yanyan in front of him, feeling helpless yet somewhat amused. He said, "I thought you weren’t looking for me because you didn’t want to talk anymore. I was even getting ready to change our couples’ profile pictures." ``` "Who doesn’t want to date you?! Ask Linlin, I’m in the dorm, I don’t even know how many times I’ve zoned out staring at your profile picture, and you didn’t show a single sign!" Zheng Yanyan suddenly got anxious. Zhou Yuwen just said oh.@@@@ "So do you still want to talk?" Zhou Yuwen asked. Zheng Yanyan still wanted to save face, and with her head lowered, she simply wouldn’t speak. "The clams are ready." At this moment, the landlady finished preparing two portions of clams. Tao Tian took over the clams, and Zhou Yuwen said to Zheng Yanyan, "If you don’t answer, I’m going to leave." Upon hearing this, Zheng Yanyan, without a word, immediately went up and hugged Zhou Yuwen, burying her head in his chest, her big eyes staring at him mournfully. Pitiful as could be. "Don’t be silent, okay? Are we still talking or not?" Zhou Yuwen asked. And when she was at a loss in front of foreigners, he would suddenly appear and say in fluent English, "Hello, can I help you with anything?" She had never met a guy like him before. Even though Tao Tian’s reputation wasn’t great at school, what no one knew was that she had never actually been in a relationship thus far. Her physique alone was enough to stir rumors around campus, not to mention by her third year, she definitely had interactions with some males, including those who, despite not gaining any favor with her, would brag about it elsewhere. There were too many such guys. Pretty girls indeed often get involved in scandals; however, the exceedingly beautiful ones have very high standards for their partners. The little boys at school might not catch Tao Tian’s eye, and successful people outside of school might not find a way into her heart. Zhou Yuwen was rare in that respect. Good-looking. And the more Tao Tian interacted with him, the less she doubted his future success. Then she remembered today’s flirtatious moments. Lying on the bed, Tao Tian felt an unexpected rush of excitement that made her heart race and her cheeks flush. Oh, and Zhou Yuwen was different from other guys in another way. He had a good sense of propriety. Unlike other guys, no matter how outstanding, who would eagerly want to hookup after a bit of closeness. But Zhou Yuwen, when she leaned up against him just now, he didn’t even look. Tao Tian had seen too many guys who would maintain a distance in front of her, even if they had girlfriends just to get close to her. Zhou Yuwen, though, had a perfect sense of boundaries. In his presence, no matter how pretty she was, she was just an unrelated outsider. But for Zheng Yanyan, no matter how spoiled and willful, she was his girlfriend, whom he would pamper and spoil. Zheng Yanyan was really lucky. Why hadn’t she met such a guy when she was a freshman? She heard that the cosmetics Zheng Yanyan was using nowadays were all bought by Zhou Yuwen. Tao Tian tossed and turned in her bed, unable to stop thinking about Zhou Yuwen. Meanwhile, the other roommates were eating clams and chatting under the beds, naturally talking about Zhou Yuwen. They talked about how well Zhou Yuwen treated Zheng Yanyan, buying her clothes and cosmetics worth thousands. "Ah, I really want to date Zhou Yuwen," said the Pencil Skirt Senior. The Boots Senior said, "I support you, go seduce him!" "I want to, but I feel I have no advantage. If I were like Tiantian and could just shamelessly rub up against him, I’d have him hooked for sure!" "Giggle! If you do that, Tiantian might beat you up!" the Long Legs Senior giggled. In Tao Tian’s dorm, the beds were fitted with curtains, so although she could hear their conversation, she didn’t draw her curtains to join them. She had indeed fallen for Zhou Yuwen. She took out her phone, looked at Zhou Yuwen’s profile picture, and hesitated. Zhou Yuwen’s profile picture was still of a couple. But so what if he had a girlfriend? If she encountered a guy she liked, should she give up just because he had a girlfriend? What does it mean to be the third party in love? Only those who aren’t loved are the third party. Zheng Yanyan, that crazy girl, simply didn’t deserve Zhou Yuwen. With more business events like today in his future, Yanyan’s craziness could never compare to her. Could she present herself as well as Tao Tian could? Tao Tian felt she could certainly do better than Zheng Yanyan. So, Tao Tian finally mustered the courage and sent Zhou Yuwen a message: "Are you there?"
