After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

Do you have a boyfriend?

Could it be him?

Xi Chenzhou couldn't help but smile as he looked at the reason she sent him.

After all, he had just asked her that question tonight, and now she's saying on TikTok that she has a boyfriend.

Xi Chenzhou switched back to WeChat and continued sending messages to Lin Xuechun.

xcz: [Are you feeling better?]

After uninstalling Douyin, Lin Xuechun saw a WeChat message.

Olaf: [Feeling better.]

xcz: [Shall we have lunch together tomorrow?]

Gong Shaoyang will also contact her tomorrow, but she can't agree.

Moreover, even if they were together, Gong Shaoyang still held the screenshots, which could become a knife to her at any time.

She didn't know how to face him in the future, so she decided it was better not to start anything and to make things clear.

Olaf:

I've thought about what you said today, and I still feel we're not a good match.

Thank you for taking care of me during this time.

[Transfer 10000]

[I'll return the money for the phone and earphones, thank you so much.]

After sending the message, Lin Xuechun pouted, looking like she was about to cry.

He's her dream guy.

The first person who made my heart flutter.

We're going to miss out like this.

Waaaaah...

When Xi Chenzhou saw the messages coming in one after another, the smile on his lips instantly froze.

xcz: [What's wrong with it?]

Lin Xuechun bit her lip and stared at the screen, her fingers resting on the keyboard, unsure of what to say.

The other end keeps showing "typing".

Xi Chenzhou immediately sent a voice message.

The ringtone of the voice request echoed in the dormitory. Lin Xuechun looked at his profile picture on her phone, but dared not answer.

She's feeling terrible right now.

Too scared.

She was afraid that hearing his voice would make her burst into tears.

The voice call rang twice and then stopped.

The phone kept vibrating—

xcz: [Would you like to answer the phone?]

Did I do something wrong tonight that made you angry?

Tell me, and I can change it.

Don't ignore me.

Are you still there?

Are you asleep?

Can we talk about it tomorrow?

Okay, you can rest now.

Lin Xuechun watched the messages pop up one by one, her eyes stinging and dry.

He's such a good person; even in this situation, he's still comforting her.

But she couldn't respond to him.

She forced herself to put down her phone, stop thinking about it, and go to bed.

But once she lay down in bed, she couldn't fall asleep at all.

The moment I close my eyes, all I can think about is how stupid she was. Why did she say those things online? Why did she keep the chat history on her phone? Why didn't she delete it after they finished chatting?

What if Gong Shaoyang makes even more outrageous demands tomorrow? What if she can't meet them and he exposes the screenshots?

What will happen to her at school then?

How should I face my teachers and classmates?

The more I thought about it, the more afraid I became, and the more afraid I became, the more I thought about it, like falling into a deep pit from which I could never climb out.

I didn't manage to close my eyes for a while until late at night.

I woke up the next day feeling groggy and disoriented.

She still didn't reply to Xi Chenzhou's WeChat message.

At noon, she met Gong Shaoyang at the entrance of the cafeteria.

Gong Shaoyang smirked, clearly in a good mood: "What's wrong? Didn't sleep well last night?"

Lin Xuechun looked at him coldly and asked, "When did you delete the screenshot?"

"Are you sure you want to talk to me about that kind of thing in front of the cafeteria?" Gong Shaoyang tilted his chin to the side, and some people were already looking in their direction.

Lin Xuechun glanced at him in the direction of his gaze, pursed her lips, and said nothing more.

"Let's go eat." Gong Shaoyang turned and walked inside.

Lin Xuechun followed silently behind, her fingers gripping the strap of her schoolbag until her knuckles turned white.

She couldn't eat anything, so she just grabbed two dishes and put them on her plate before sitting down opposite Gong Shaoyang.

Gong Shaoyang's eyes darted playfully across her face as he poked at the food on his plate with his chopsticks: "I really didn't know you liked making that kind of thing."

Lin Xuechun felt a sudden thud, and all the blood in her body rushed to her face, as if she had been stripped naked in public.

She bit her lower lip hard, leaving a white tooth mark on her lips. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with barely suppressed anger and shame.

Gong Shaoyang scoffed, "Just kidding, why such a big reaction? People will think I did something to you."

Lin Xuechun didn't want to talk to someone who used her privacy to threaten her. She silently lowered her head and mechanically shoveled food into her mouth with her chopsticks.

I just want to finish eating quickly and leave as soon as possible; I don't want to stay here for even a second longer.

Tasteless and bland.

As she was eating, she suddenly felt a strong gaze directed at her from her right front. She subconsciously looked up and was instantly met with a cold, icy stare.

Xi Chenzhou sat two tables away, his chopsticks hovering in mid-air, his face cold as he stared straight at her.

Lin Xuechun's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously bit her lip.

She didn't reply to his WeChat messages last night, nor this morning.

Now that he had seen her eating with Gong Shaoyang again, her fingers tightened slightly as she held the chopsticks, and she lowered her head guiltily.

Even with her head down, she could still feel that gaze never leaving her.

She knew he was still watching her.

But she simply didn't have the courage to face him.

She was even more afraid of angering Gong Shaoyang, who would expose her secret and tell him everything.

She would be even less able to face it then.

Let's just let it cool down like this. He's such a dazzling person; if she doesn't reply to his messages, he probably won't send any more.

Finally, after Gong Shaoyang had almost finished eating, Lin Xuechun made an excuse that she had to leave because she had to go to her dormitory.

She carried her schoolbag and walked quickly out of the cafeteria.

The sunlight stung her eyes, and she squinted as she walked toward her dormitory with her head down. As she turned past the flowerbed beside the cafeteria, a very imposing figure suddenly blocked her way.

Xi Chenzhou was waiting for her here at some point.

She didn't have time to stop and bumped right into him, her face pressed against the zipper of his hoodie, which was icy cold, while her head was covered by his warm breath.

Lin Xuechun took two steps back, her eyelashes fluttered, and she turned to run away.

Xi Chenzhou grabbed her backpack strap, walked around to her, his tall and imposing figure looming over her, his aggressive aura suddenly approaching, his dark eyes fixed on her.

"Avoiding me?"

"I didn't dodge."

Lin Xuechun lowered her head, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible, like a cat being pinched by the scruff of its neck, wanting to escape but too afraid to move.
