The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Zhao Shucheng was genuinely surprised by Wang Ying's move. After a moment of stunned silence, he said:

"Wang Ying, you don't think I eloped with someone, do you?"

"Get lost. Although I also think she's noisy, she came all this way, how can you be the only one to deliver it?"

"If you, the one seeing her off, don't go in, she won't appreciate it."

"That's none of your business. As long as my intentions are there, that's enough. By the way, shouldn't we head back now?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Of course."

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng grabbed Wang Ying's hand and led her towards the parking area.

Wang Ying was in a daze the whole way. When she came to her senses, she had already arrived at the school gate. She hurriedly got off the bus, not daring to look at Zhao Shucheng at all, and ran straight back to her dormitory.

Always a pampered young lady who was very image-conscious, she completely disregarded her ladylike demeanor at this moment and only wanted to get back to her dormitory as quickly as possible.

Despite her extensive knowledge, this was the first time Wang Ying had ever been so close to a boy. The thought of Zhao Shucheng holding her hand and the way he looked at her made her blush and her heart race. Her only thought was to prevent Zhao Shucheng from seeing her flustered state.

Seeing Wang Ying flee in such a disheveled state, Zhao Shucheng actually smiled.

Actually, Zhao Shucheng was a little worried before that Wang Ying was just joking when she said she was his girlfriend, but seeing Wang Ying's current appearance, he thought she must have been moved.

Wang Ying ran all the way back to her dormitory, and gasped for breath as she leaned against the table.

The other girls in the dorm were also there at that moment, and seeing Wang Ying like this, they were all quite curious. After all, they had never seen Wang Ying like this before. Even when everyone in their dorm had suffered from mushroom poisoning and they were surrounded by girls from the other dorm, Wang Ying had never been this flustered.

"Wang Ying, what's wrong?"

"Yeah, you weren't chased by a dog, were you? There aren't any stray dogs on our school. Did that girl bring her pet to the dorm?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin rolled his eyes at Xu Lin, trying to calm his still somewhat excited heart.

"No, I was just in a hurry to come back."

"Why are you in such a hurry? We've only just started the semester, there shouldn't be anything particularly urgent, right?"

Wang Ying didn't know how to tell her roommates. After all, she had already told everyone about her relationship with Zhao Shucheng. If she said she was flustered now, wouldn't that be exposing her own lie?

But when she sat down to have a glass of water to calm her nerves, she saw the hand holding the glass and remembered holding Zhao Shucheng's hand earlier. She couldn't look at her own hand at all.

Lost in thought, Wang Ying was completely unaware that the other people in the dormitory were also watching her at that moment.

Xu Lin winked at Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi, then looked at Wang Ying.

Wang Ying's unusual behavior struck them all as extraordinary, and finally, Xiao Qianxi cautiously asked:
"Wang Ying, is something wrong? We're all in the same dorm, so if anything's wrong, you can tell us. We might not be able to help in any way, but we can at least offer some advice."

Wang Ying then noticed that the other three people were staring intently at her, and realized that her previous reaction had indeed been somewhat abnormal, so she quickly calmed herself down.

"I'm fine. What could possibly be wrong? Do I look like something's wrong?"

"It looks just like it!" the three people said in unison.

Wang Ying said, "Oh, I'm really fine. By the way, why are you all in the dorm? Don't you have classes?"

"You said you were fine, but you forgot, it's the weekend, you don't have any classes."

"Don't you guys need to spend time with your boyfriends? Qianxi, didn't your senior He ask you to go to the library? Qiaoqiao, didn't Yang Cheng ask you out on a date either?"

"Wang Ying, don't change the subject. We have our own plans. It's you who left early this morning and only just came back, looking completely distracted. Did you go on a date with Qin Chuan and do something naughty?"

"No, Chen Baojia is flying today, and Qin Chuan and I are going to see her off. Okay, I'm not talking to you guys anymore, I'm tired and need to rest."

As she spoke, Wang Ying went straight back to her bed, lay down, and seemed to really intend to sleep, but even with her eyes closed, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

The others naturally realized that Wang Ying's behavior indicated something must have happened that day. However, since Wang Ying was unwilling to talk about it, they didn't press her for details. They could only exchange glances and then go about their own business.

Xie Qiao had been feeling listless for the past few days ever since Wang Ying told her at the hospital that Zhao Shucheng was her boyfriend, but she didn't know why she felt this way.

Although she was dating Yang Cheng, she always felt that their relationship wasn't quite a normal one. After all, seeing Xiao Qianxi and He Xiaozhou's sweet romance every day, wanting to be together all the time, while her relationship with Yang Cheng was limited to a few phone calls or text messages each day.

Although it was her first time dating and she knew little about it, she knew that their relationship was abnormal and different from the sweet romance she had imagined.

Xiao Qianxi, however, was engrossed in her studies. She knew all too well how difficult it was to get into this nationally renowned university, and she couldn't bear to waste such a precious opportunity. As for her relationship with He Xiaozhou, she felt everything was perfectly normal. Although neither of them had cell phones and could only contact each other via pager or public telephone, they were completely unaffected.

However, they all live in the same dormitory and usually meet up to study in the library or eat together, so they never lack time to spend together.

Xu Lin glanced at Wang Ying, then continued lying on the bed, smugly shaking his leg while reading a comic book.

Wang Ying tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Soon it was dinnertime. Seeing everyone else getting ready to eat, Wang Ying suddenly spoke up, "Qianxi, are you eating with Senior He later?"

Xiao Qianxi was taken aback for a moment, then said, "No, it's not that. Little Boat Brother has something to do today, so I'm planning to eat at the cafeteria with Qiao Qiao and the others. Why is that?"

Wang Ying said, "Let me treat you to dinner, but I have something I'd like to ask you about, and I'd like to get your opinion."

Seeing that Xie Qiao and Xu Lin had walked quite a distance from the dormitory, Xiao Qianxi understood that Wang Ying definitely didn't want others to know, so she smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk while we eat!"

"Let's go then, let's find a private place."

When Xiao Qianxi and Wang Ying arrived at the restaurant and sat down in the private room, he looked at Wang Ying and said, "Can we talk now?"

Normally, Wang Ying might not have felt this way, but what happened today made her feel somewhat uncomfortable when facing Xiao Qianxi.

“I have a friend who is having relationship problems and asked me for advice. But I don’t have much dating experience, so I don’t know anything about this. I can only ask you, who has a little more dating experience.”

Xiao Qianxi said, "As you know, although Xiao Chuan and I have spent some time together, our relationship has always been natural, so I don't really have much experience in this area. I can offer suggestions, but I may not be able to solve the problem."

"It's alright, it's good to offer some advice."

"Alright, go ahead and say it!"

Wang Ying said, "Actually, what happened to my friend wasn't complicated. She was confessed to and accepted the confession, but she never expected it to happen like this, so she panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do."

Xiao Qianxi said, "You mean they might touch you inappropriately when you confess your feelings? You definitely can't agree to that. After all, if they do that now, who knows what they might do after we get together? We girls need to protect ourselves and not let anyone take advantage of us so easily, making them feel like they're worthless."

"No, it's after they confessed their feelings and got together that they held hands."

"Isn't that normal? Or does the girl not actually like the boy? Although she accepted his confession, she doesn't really want to be with him? Is it because the boy is ugly, or not good enough, or maybe..."

"No, actually her boyfriend is tall and handsome, a very good person, and has a good personality. Although his family's financial situation is average, he has his own career."

At first, Xiao Qianxi didn't realize that Wang Ying was talking about her, but when the content came together, she naturally thought of Wang Ying and Zhao Shucheng.

Seeing Wang Ying's detached demeanor, he could only play along and say, "Then why is she flustered? Could it be that she feels things are progressing too quickly? Or perhaps she wants to back out?"

Wang Ying said, "Actually, it's not really that. This girl doesn't dislike the boy, but she had a secret crush on someone for many years. She knew they could never be together, but that didn't stop her from liking him."

Xiao Qianxi said, "So you mean that even though a girl is with someone else, she still likes another guy in her heart, which is why she panics when her boyfriend does something intimate, feeling like she's betraying the person she likes. Is that right?"

Wang Ying felt something was off after hearing this and said, "Well, not really. After all, she's prepared to be just good friends with the person she likes for life. What she's struggling with now is whether she should reject her boyfriend's intimate gestures. What if being rejected makes him think she wants to break up? How can she avoid hurting their relationship?"

Xiao Qianxi said, "Wang Ying, my thought is that your friend had already made her choice when she chose to accept her boyfriend's confession. After all, if she had no feelings for her boyfriend at all, she wouldn't have accepted him; she would have rejected him on the spot."

"Probably. Although their relationship was quite sudden, she didn't dislike him. In fact, they got along very well, just like longtime friends."

Xiao Qianxi said, "So, I think your friend has already fallen for her boyfriend, but she used to have someone she liked, which makes her feel like she's betraying that person. That's why she's conflicted about whether she should continue to be closer to her boyfriend. After all, she knows she used to like someone, and she feels like she's being fickle now."

"But I think that since she has already decided that there is no possibility between her and the boy she used to like, she should take responsibility for her choice if she accepts someone else's confession. Anyway, I have always felt that it is better to accept someone you don't dislike than to continue to have a crush on someone and wait for someone who will never be there. There is a saying that goes, if you have a choice, between the person you love and the person who loves you, you will choose the person who loves you and you will make yourself happier."

Xiao Qianxi added, "Of course, I don't know if the person your friend mentioned who she has a crush on is truly impossible. If they could be together, and they both love each other, they would actually be happier."

Upon hearing Xiao Qianxi's words, Wang Ying fell silent. Deep down, she knew that while she and Yang Cheng seemed to be childhood sweethearts, she was never actually Yang Cheng's first choice.

Maybe one day Yang Cheng will get tired of playing around and turn back to see me, but can I really stick to it and keep liking him?
Wang Ying herself had some doubts about this. After all, seeing the person she liked surrounded by different girls every day was a very painful thing. She had experienced it far too many times. She didn't think she could continue to ignore it or even maintain that feeling of liking him.

On the contrary, Zhao Shucheng's appearance showed her a different perspective. Zhao Shucheng and Yang Cheng were like two extremes: one didn't know what he wanted, while the other always knew exactly what he wanted, worked hard for it, and quickly achieved results.

Xiao Qianxi looked at Wang Ying, who was lost in thought, and could only hope that she would figure it out soon. Although she didn't know who Wang Ying was secretly in love with, since it was impossible, it was better to end this unrequited love as soon as possible.

However, she did not expect that Wang Ying would have such a big reaction just from holding hands with Zhao Shucheng, who had already become his boyfriend. It did not seem like she had no feelings for him, but rather like a young girl who was a little flustered when she met someone she liked.

Wang Ying wasn't some naive young girl, so she quickly figured things out. Although she and Xiao Qianxi were different and had different ideas, and Xiao Qianxi's words could only be used as a reference, she still made her own decisions.

When she and Xiao Qianxi returned to the dormitory, Xu Lin chased after them, asking what they had been doing and whether they had been eating alone behind their backs.

Xiao Qianxi was not a gossipy person, and naturally she would not tell anyone about Wang Ying's relationship advice. She simply used the excuse of discussing academic issues with Wang Ying to go to another place for dinner.

Actually, Xu Lin didn't necessarily need to know anything. Hearing it was a question about studies, he immediately lost interest and said:

"It's already the weekend, and you guys are still thinking about studying. That's so boring. But seriously, Wang Ying, now that you and Qin Chuan are together, shouldn't you treat us to a meal?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ying looked at Xu Lin and said, "Why are you treating everyone? When Qianxi was with He Xiaozhou, there was no such thing as treating everyone, was there?"

"How can that be the same? Qianxi and her boyfriend are in a campus romance, while your Qin Chuan is a big boss. Treating someone to a meal is a piece of cake for him, right?" (End of Chapter)
