I want to have a normal campus romance

As I said this, I slowly parked the car on the side of the road, then I let out a long sigh and glanced at the rearview mirror.

I saw Xia Xiaoyao was slightly stunned after hearing what I said, and the guilt on her face became even stronger, which made me feel a little embarrassed.

Did I say something wrong? That's right... After all, I was driving seriously and didn't think much before speaking. Thinking carefully about what I said just now, it was a bit inappropriate.

Just as I was thinking about whether I should say something to ease the awkwardness of the moment, her words made me stunned.

"I'm sorry, it's clearly my business, but I ended up dragging you into it."

"Uh...huh?"

For a moment I was confused because I never expected her to apologize to me.

I turned my head and our eyes met, but she didn't avoid it. Instead, she looked at me straight with apology in her eyes.

But after hearing what she said, I didn't know how to respond. If there are two things I fear most when dealing with girls, one is a girl's tears, and the other is a girl's apology.

Because you don't understand the other person's state of mind, you have no idea what attitude you should have towards an apology, or how to respond, which gave me a headache.

Generally speaking, when a girl apologizes, the two most standard solutions are "It's not your fault" and "I am also wrong". The former is to transfer the responsibility, and the latter is to share the responsibility.

It’s just these two methods, but when put here... they feel a little bit inapplicable!

---------------------

PS: The update is a bit shady, I’m really sorry.

I was unlucky today. I did the nucleic acid test in the morning, but the result was not out by the evening. When I returned to school, they said I had to wait 48 hours for the nucleic acid test before I could enter. Then... I sent it in, and mosquitoes gave me a wave of gifts from nature while I was waiting for my nucleic acid test report.

By the time I got back to the dormitory and packed my luggage, it was already midnight.

Chapter 198 Car

Thinking of this, I put aside the many complicated thoughts in my mind. Maybe sometimes thinking so much is not of much use, but will make me fall into it.

I sighed, then turned sideways and said to Xia Xiaoyao leisurely:

"It's okay, just remember to treat me to a meal."

Of course...I just said this casually, as a way to make the other party feel less guilty, so I didn't take it seriously.

After all, Xia Xiaoyao is considered a bright new star in the music industry. Just by meeting her today, she was almost surrounded by people.

Given the level of public attention she receives now, I guess if I were really discovered having dinner with her, it wouldn't be something that could be resolved by simply issuing a statement.

"it is good!"

"..."

Hearing Xia Xiaoyao's firm answer, I was slightly stunned. I don't know why in my heart...wait, every time I have this "bad" feeling, it basically comes true!

Could it be that this girl took my words seriously?

Probably...no?

I swallowed subconsciously and was about to say that I was just joking and not to take it so seriously, but when I saw the joy and happiness in her eyes, I took the words back.

After all, there were only Xia Xiaoyao and I in the car, and no one could help me smooth things over. If the atmosphere that had finally been warmed up was made awkward again because of my words, then it would be really "failed".

But...why did she feel so happy after I said "please eat"?

What's more, the joy on her face didn't seem to be the kind of relief she felt because I accepted her apology, but rather the kind of happiness that came from the bottom of her heart.

This suddenly made me a little confused. It was impossible that... after I cheated her out of a meal, she still felt that she had made a profit, right?

Can such a good thing happen in the world?

Unlikely?

If there really was such a good thing that fell from the sky, why would I go to university? I could just ask Xia Xiaoyao for meals every day and save myself 50 years of hard work in an instant.

Forget it, as long as Xia Xiaoyao is happy, it’s fine. If the situation continues like that, I might be so embarrassed that I could use my feet to dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

After all, Xia Xiaoyao always blames herself for the mistakes, even if it's not her fault.

If I remember correctly, Xia Xiaoyao should be the girl who has apologized to me the most times, um...no one else.

Maybe this has something to do with her previous experiences, or maybe it's due to her personality, or some other reason, but these things may only be known by Xia Xiaoyao herself.

I don’t want to delve too deeply into the secrets in other people’s hearts. After all, everyone has some things they don’t want to tell others. This is not a deliberate concealment, but a kind of protection for myself and others.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, I suddenly heard two knocks on the car window. My nerves tensed up for an instant, and I thought someone from the group was chasing us.

But soon I discovered that the person standing outside the car knocking on the glass was not that group of people, but a traffic policeman wearing a police uniform and a reflective vest.

Seeing that I didn't react, the traffic policeman frowned and knocked on the car window again. I quickly lowered the window, and he saluted me very seriously, which scared me.

"Sir, long-term parking is not allowed here. Please move your car."

"Uh--"

After hearing what the young traffic policeman said, I was stunned for a moment, because my driver did not get out of the car, nor did he turn off the engine, and he had no intention of parking for a long time.

What's more... I only stayed here for two or three minutes, and with that tone and that action... I thought I was going to be arrested.

As I was thinking this, I took a quick look at his police rank. It had two crutches and no stars, so he was probably a police intern who had just started his job.

But I was so distracted that the young traffic policeman thought that I didn't understand what he said. He curled his lips and was about to say something, but was pulled back by another experienced traffic policeman, who should be his master.

The young traffic policeman stopped talking when he saw his master coming, while the old traffic policeman looked much friendlier and said to me slowly:

"Well... young man, I'm sorry, it's rush hour at this time. If you park here, it may affect traffic. If you want to park, you can go to the front."

Compared to the official tone of the young traffic policeman, the old traffic policeman's words were more cordial. I nodded when I saw this. Just when I was about to say something, Xia Xiaoyao's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Okay, we'll be leaving soon."

As she spoke, I just felt my ears a little itchy. I subconsciously turned my head and found that Xia Xiaoyao had leaned towards the driver's seat at some point.

The white arms were resting on the back of the chair, as if for leverage, and the whole person was leaning on the chair, only one step away from me. Of course... maybe not even half a step.

Because when I turned my head, my face was almost touching Xia Xiaoyao's. Her breath kept hitting my face, and the unique fragrance on her body almost made me shiver.

Xia Xiaoyao didn't seem to expect that I would look back at this time, and was frightened by my sudden action. She stepped back, but forgot that she was in the car. Her little head hit the roof of the car with a "bang".

Seeing this, I quickly reached out and put my hand on her shoulder, then supported her body, otherwise she would have fallen directly into the car if she had been hit like that.

But it seemed that she stood up too quickly just now, and even the sunglasses on her face fell off her face and fell onto the seat next to her.

After bowing her head, Xia Xiaoyao seemed a little dizzy, so much so that when I held her shoulders, she seemed to feel the support and actually fell towards me.

Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem supporting Xia Xiaoyao's body, but my arm was already a little strained, and she pulled it before.

It would be fine if I didn't support myself, but when I did, my left arm suddenly felt a sharp pain as if in protest, and my left hand instantly relaxed, but my right hand was still supporting Xia Xiaoyao's shoulder. When I reacted, I only felt a soft feeling in front of me.

This feeling is like when you come home after a busy day and fall headfirst into the bed, feeling comfortable and enjoyed.

But at the same time, I also felt an extremely nervous feeling in my heart, because Xia Xiaoyao's sunglasses had just been knocked off. Although she was lying on my shoulder now, she would inevitably be recognized by them.

This made me feel nervous and enjoyable, anxious and comfortable. Two contradictory feelings happened to me at the same time, but one was physical and the other was mental.

These diametrically opposed feelings made me feel like I was experiencing a mixture of pain and happiness. I wanted to end it all quickly, but I also wanted time to stop at this moment.

Xia Xiaoyao seemed to have come back to her senses at this moment, and wanted to climb up from my body, but I held her down. After all, if she got up...

What if those two traffic policemen knew her? Then the explanation would be...not something that could be explained in just a few words.

But she probably... knew that I was helping her hide her identity. After I held her little head down, she just pushed my shoulder symbolically and didn't struggle as violently as I imagined.

It’s just that this scene looks one way to me, but looks another to outsiders.

The young traffic policeman looked as if he had been forced to eat a handful of dog food, while the old traffic policeman looked at me with a smile. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes clearly said, "Young man, what you are playing with are what I left over from the past."

I was stunned at first, but soon realized that the old traffic policeman thought I deliberately didn't use much force, allowing Xia Xiaoyao to throw herself into my arms. Looking at his smiling face without saying a word, I couldn't stop twitching in the corners of my eyes.

I really didn’t mean it!

"Then I won't bother you anymore. I wish you two a happy marriage and a happy life!"

As the old traffic policeman spoke, he pulled the young policeman next to him and kept winking at him, as if he was deliberately leaving us some private space.

The two of them coughed twice, told me to leave as soon as possible, and then turned and left. Before leaving, they even joked, "We have a really good relationship."

Wait a minute! How did they become a married couple? And...what the hell is a happy marriage?

I wanted to explain that this was all a misunderstanding, but after I thought about it carefully, if I explained it... it would seem even more strange!

Because at this moment, Xia Xiaoyao was lying on my shoulder because of me.

After hearing the two traffic policemen walk away, she turned her head slightly towards me, with a confused look on her fair little face, which made me swallow involuntarily, because this scene was something I could only see in dreams.

Or in other words, the dazzling singer or dream lover in so many people's minds is leaning on my shoulder like a little bird. It seems like a dream no matter how you look at it!

Even though I know this is not a dream, I still don't want to believe that the scene before my eyes would happen in reality...it would happen right next to me.

Whether it was her flushed face, her confused and slightly uneasy look, or her slightly messy hair due to the collision just now, all of these were stimulating my brain, making me not know where to focus my eyes for a moment.

Although the weather in early autumn was not hot, it was definitely not cool either, so neither of us wore too many clothes.

Along with her soft body and charming fragrance, her body temperature was immediately transferred to me. For a moment, I felt as if an electric current was passing through my body, and an indescribable numbness spread throughout my body.

But it seemed that my gaze was too hot, and Xia Xiaoyao slowly turned her little head back.

"Lin...Lin Ran."

"Uh...ah? What's wrong?"

"Close the windows... the windows."

After hearing her weak voice, I stiffly placed my hand on the car door next to me and slowly rolled up the window, isolating the car from the outside world.

Since she turned her head back, I didn't know what her expression was at the moment, but from her rising body temperature, I could guess...she must be blushing now.

Chapter 199 Ask yourself

We maintained this ambiguous posture like this, and neither of us said anything until I slowly raised the window. Then Xia Xiaoyao slowly pressed my shoulders and climbed up from me.

I saw that not only her face turned red, but also her neck was slightly red. Looking at her shy face, I felt a little at a loss.

The moment our eyes met, we both understood each other's emotions from each other's eyes. At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and everything was frozen in this moment.

Her eyes sparkling with tiny halos were as immersive and fascinating as the starry sky. It was not until Xia Xiaoyao, who seemed a little embarrassed by my staring, spoke that I slowly came back to my senses.

"You...why are you looking at me?"

"Ahem...is there?"

I touched the back of my head and said to Xia Xiaoyao in a silly way, but I didn't expect that she didn't buy my trick at all. Seeing me pretending to be silly, her face turned slightly red and she said to me angrily:

"You...you took advantage of me again!"

"Ah? Don't talk nonsense, I don't have any..."

"Of course, I...I can't even remember how many times this has happened."

After hearing what Xia Xiaoyao said, I immediately wanted to clarify my innocence with her, but when I thought about it carefully, it seemed that... uh... the number of times I took advantage of her was indeed not few.

So when I looked at Xia Xiaoyao, who was pouting, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, I suddenly felt guilty for no reason. But even so... I couldn't show my weakness at this time.

So I coughed twice, pretended to be very serious, and quickly changed the subject.

"Where are we going? I need to move the car first, or the traffic police will come looking for us again."

After hearing what I said, Xia Xiaoyao knew at a glance that I was trying to change the subject. However, what I said was indeed an important matter after all, so she did not continue to argue with me out of anger. She just covered her head that had just hit the ground, and then sat back in the back seat angrily.

"Go to my house."

"Oh, send me your home address...ah? Your home?!"

As I said this, I subconsciously took out my phone and was about to open the navigation to check the route, but after I turned on the phone, I suddenly realized... Xia Xiaoyao seemed to have said something very extraordinary just now!

Hearing my exclamation and seeing my eyes widened, Xia Xiaoyao immediately stretched out her little fist, hammered on the back of my chair, and said to me shyly with some stammering:

"You...what are you thinking about!"

"Ahem...I...I'm not thinking about anything!"
