I want to have a normal campus romance

Although this task was not only boring but also tedious, I often did this when I was in the secretariat during my freshman year, so I was pretty good at it. It took me less than an hour to finish the forms with a pile of documents.

I stretched and prepared to move my sore shoulders. Seeing this, Xiao Jingwen tilted her head to look at me.

"Are you done?"

"Ah."

As soon as I finished speaking, Xiao Jingwen turned her head away, as if she was looking for something. This made me feel nervous. Could it be that I was working too fast and Xiao Jingwen wanted to assign me a new task?

Damn! I should have said I hadn’t finished yet. Am I just being too self-involved?

But just as I was about to take the new documents with tears in my eyes, Xiao Jingwen took out... a small pot? from a bag beside her?

Ok? ? ?

Is the school expanding its business or has it reached a new cooperation with a chef cooking school?

"This is the chicken soup I made. You can have some."

"what?"

I was a little stunned when I heard what Xiao Jingwen said. I have seen some counselors give small gifts to their assistants during festivals, such as moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival and rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, but I have never seen chicken soup? Is today a special festival? Chicken You Are So Beautiful Festival? This is an old story from a long time ago.

"I couldn't keep you for dinner, so my mom asked me to make some chicken soup and send it to you later."

"Eh? Didn't you explain it clearly to Auntie?"

"I explained, but my mother didn't believe me. If I hadn't stopped her, she might have brought you chicken soup today." Xiao Jingwen rubbed her brows and said, "There's too much chicken soup. I can't finish it by myself. You can take it and drink it."

Xiao Jingwen paused for a moment, then looked at me and said slowly:

"By the way, that day...did you hear me making a phone call?"

"Ah? What phone number?"

When I heard this, I immediately pretended to be dumb, but feeling her scrutinizing gaze, I actually felt like...laughing for a moment.

Damn, I’m already twenty years old, why can’t I help laughing even when I tell a lie?

But if I laughed in this situation, I thought I would be dead, so I quickly pinched my thigh, and the piercing pain immediately blocked my smile, but... it hurt a little!

Fortunately, Xiao Jingwen quickly left my sight, otherwise I would have really lost the control.

I breathed a sigh of relief silently, but just as I took the chicken soup from her and was about to leave, Xiao Jingwen suddenly called me from behind.

"Wait a moment!"

"Ah, what's wrong, Sister Wen? Is there anything else?"

Oh no, she won’t find out anything, right?

I turned around a little stiffly, but she didn't show any doubt on her face. She just asked me out of the blue:

"By the way, are you and Bai Yun a couple?"

After hearing what Xiao Jingwen said, I almost choked on my own saliva. While wondering why she changed the subject so quickly, I was also puzzled as to why she suddenly asked me this question. Is there any causal relationship between these two events?

Although I am indeed pursuing Bai Yun now, it is still a long way to go. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I fail? So I thought for a moment and replied to her:

"No, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing... just asking."

When she heard what I said, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, but soon returned to normal, so that I couldn't even be sure whether she was smiling unintentionally or I was dazzled and saw it wrong.

After that, Xiao Jingwen didn't say anything more to me, but went back to her work. I slowly walked out of the office holding her pot of chicken soup.

I have to say, this small pot is quite hot, and it feels quite warm in my hands. It seems that Xiao Jingwen must have put it in a thermos bag to keep it warm, which saves me from heating it again. She is quite thoughtful.

"jingle--"

My phone rang with a message alert. I thought it was Xiao Jingwen who invited me to join the group. Just as I was about to open my phone to take a look, I found that the person who sent the message was not Xiao Jingwen, but Liu Tongtong.

Ok?

I opened my phone and saw six big words on it:

Are you free tomorrow?

Chapter 22 News

I looked at the message sent by Liu Tongtong, and for a moment I was full of questions, not knowing what she was trying to do.

But despite this, I still replied to her that I was free.

Although tomorrow is Monday, we only have one morning class tomorrow and there will be nothing else to do after that.

This is one of the few good things about college, because it is not like high school where classes have to last from morning to night every day.

Unless you are studying some very unusual majors, the courses in college are not as numerous as those in high school. There is not much homework in college, and you don’t even have to do homework as long as you can guarantee that you will not fail the course.

"jingle--"

I was just about to put my phone back into my pocket when I heard it ring again. Liu Tongtong replied almost instantly after receiving my message, but the message she replied left me confused.

An OK expression...

What does OK mean?

In order to prevent this little girl from doing anything naughty again, I cautiously asked her what she was going to do. I still remember the pile of buns we ate last time, so who knows what she was going to do this time.

Just when I was curious about what she wanted to do, Liu Tongtong replied to me directly——

secret.

???

The Riddler, get out of Gotham City!

I sent her several question marks, but she didn't reply to me. She didn't even tell me what to do or where to go. She just asked me if I was free from beginning to end. This made me speechless for a moment.

Could it be that this little girl is here to have fun with me?

I waited for a long time but she didn't message me again, so I didn't take it to heart. Even if it was a secret, she would probably message me tomorrow. After all, she didn't know where I was.

I put my phone back in my pocket, hummed a little song and went back to the dormitory. I pushed open the door and saw that they were all playing games. When they saw me coming back with a small pot in their hands, they immediately took off their headphones and came to greet me with a smile.

"Hey, Brother Lin, just go back to the dormitory. What are you bringing with you? Really."

"That's it."

"Stop, stop, stop! Get the bowl, get the bowl!"

Seeing this, I immediately held down the people who rushed over. Are you kidding me? This pot is not mine. What will happen if it is taken by those "animals"?

When the three of them heard what I said, they immediately took out their bowls, looking as if they hadn't eaten for three days.

"Lin Ran, where did you buy it? This chicken soup is quite delicious."

The fat man took a sip of the chicken soup and then showed a look of enjoyment, while the other two also gave thumbs up after taking two sips.

"I didn't buy this. Sister Wen gave it to me."

I drank the chicken soup in my hand and said casually.

However, the three of them seemed to have heard some shocking secret and almost spit out the chicken soup they had just drunk.

“Ah? You…cough cough cough…cough cough…”

"Hey, are you three okay?"

I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I always feel that there’s something wrong with the way the three of them look at me.

"Lin Ran, what is your relationship with Teacher Xiao? She even made chicken soup for you?"

After hearing what Fatty said, I suddenly realized that they didn't know the whole story. But if I told the truth...the three of them would definitely hang me up and beat me, so I quickly coughed twice.

"This... this is the money I earned from working for a living. I was asked to be a guidance counselor's assistant... If you are interested, we can switch."

Sure enough, after hearing what I said, the fat guy waved his hands and claimed that he was busy with something. The other two also pretended to be dead, and they were fooled by me.

......

Early the next morning, after the bell rang for the end of morning class, many students were about to fall asleep on their desks. If it weren't for the fat guy and the others who were next to us and chatting to keep us awake, we would probably have fallen asleep on the desks by now.

I yawned and prepared to go buy breakfast with them and go back to the dormitory as usual, but for some reason, Fatty was inexplicably excited today.

It was the same just now in class. He didn't seem sleepy at all. If he hadn't taken notes today, I would have thought he was going to turn over a new leaf.

"Hey, guys, the freshman military training is over today. Do you want to go see the freshmen?"

"Damn, I almost forgot."

"I'm going, I'm going!"

After hearing what the fat man said, Xiao Li and Lao Wang instantly became energetic, looking as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Seeing the three of them looking so frivolous, I felt that my noble soul had been polluted. As someone who had abandoned vulgar tastes, I would never go along with the three of them.

"Lin Ran, are you going?"

"go with!"

Ahem, even a noble soul needs to cultivate its sentiments occasionally.

I packed my things and followed Fatty and the others out the door. But just as I walked out of the classroom, I suddenly saw a familiar figure.

This is...Liu Tongtong?

I saw Liu Tongtong standing opposite me, and there were a few people around her who seemed to be trying to chat with her, but she showed no interest and seemed to be indifferent to them.

???

Why is Liu Tongtong here? Wait... She seems to be waiting for someone. Is she here for me?

"Isn't this Liu Tongtong? Is she waiting for someone?"

"But doesn't she have a boyfriend? Is she here to wait for her friend?"

"I think it looks like... What do you think, Lin Ran?"

"Ah...right, right."

I heard the conversation between the three of them, said a few perfunctory words, and then quickly turned my head away, just wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

Just kidding, the class just ended and there are so many people around. If Liu Tongtong came to see me, I would have sent it right away on the spot!

"Lin Ran, what's wrong with you? Did you sprain your neck?"

"I......"

I was about to say something and then quickly get away, but before I could open my mouth, I heard a familiar voice suddenly coming from the crowd behind me.

"Hey, bro! You're here!"

At this moment, I seemed to experience the feeling of being electrocuted. After hearing Liu Tongtong's "life-threatening" voice, my whole body froze, and I stood still for a moment, then turned my head stiffly.

When Liu Tongtong saw me, she trotted towards me while talking. The students who were trying to chat with her were suddenly petrified and stood still.

Although her voice was not loud, many people still heard her and looked over.

"Lin Ran? Who is she calling?"

When the fat man saw Liu Tongtong walking towards us, he couldn't help but look around, as if he was looking for the male protagonist whom Liu Tongtong called "little brother" nearby.

But you don’t have to think about it to know that he can’t find it at all, because the male protagonist... is me.

"Long time no see..."

Liu Tongtong slowly walked up to me and stopped, then said to me with a smile. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on me, and a weird atmosphere filled the air.

A wonderful picture unfolds here: Liu Tongtong looking at me with a smile, the fat man and others who are already stunned, the spectators around who don't know what's going on, and me who is already petrified...

Chapter 23 The routine is too deep

Logically speaking, such a thing as a secret should not happen to me? Why should an ordinary person like me suffer this?

I could suddenly feel countless eyes looking at this side. Although I looked around and didn't find anyone looking at this side openly, I always felt that there were pairs of eyes staring at me.

Although there are not many people in the corridor, there are still twenty or thirty people at a glance. In this situation, let alone a social phobia, even a social terrorist would be scared!

Although it does feel a little bit satisfying to feel the envious and jealous gazes around me, this is different from ordinary pranks. Doing this in front of so many people is like playing with fire!

Looking at Liu Tongtong standing in front of me with a smile on her face, I shuddered for a moment. No matter how you look at it, her expression is exactly the same as the one she made when she tricked me into eating buns.
