I want to have a normal campus romance

I was almost shocked when I heard Bai Yun's words, because Bai Yun rarely called me by my full name.

I slowly turned my head, only to find that Bai Yun was staring at me silently. Her black eyes seemed to be able to penetrate my heart, and her tone was firm.

The surrounding noise became obviously louder, and some people nearby even looked over here with an attitude of watching the fun, which made me feel a little sad unconsciously.

Although I know that people will rush to distance themselves from me after I’ve been misunderstood, this is too cruel... She chose to respond to me in front of so many people, but this is not a bad idea. Maybe she has been struggling with it before and has only made up her mind now.

It might be a good thing to face the reality earlier, which would be good for both of us. Although I could use various excuses to prevaricate or evade, it would make her courage that she had worked so hard to muster disappear, which was a bit too much.

Instead of asking hypocritically at that time, it would be better to be straightforward now. Thinking of this, I sighed and finally mustered up some courage to face it. Thinking about it carefully, I didn't lose out. At least I was very lucky to have such an encounter with a girl like Bai Yun.

But just when I thought I was greeted with cold and distant words, I didn't expect Bai Yun to say -

"I think... I think it's necessary to respond to what Senior Huang said to you before."

Chapter 38 Interlocking

When I heard Bai Yun mention this, my heart started beating faster as if it had been injected with adrenaline. On the one hand, I was looking forward to her reply, but on the other hand, I was afraid to hear her response. This contradictory psychology was very subtle.

I took the tea in my hand and drank two sips pretending to be calm. The cold milk tea helped me calm down a little, but my heart was still beating fast. I even felt dizzy from being too nervous.

Even though I didn't expect Bai Yun to say anything that would surprise me, I couldn't help feeling unwilling. I waited for her response with a confused heart, but Bai Yun didn't respond quickly, which surprised me.

But soon, she turned her head as if looking back at the past, looking straight ahead, and her voice, as sweet as a silver bell, was particularly moving.

"In fact, I don't have many friends in school. Tongtong is one of the few friends I have in school, or the only friend who is willing to stay with me." She said softly, "I don't like the feeling of being the center of attention. The boys greet me with smiles but few of them are sincere, and the girls distance themselves from me because I am too popular. Even if I used to have some friends, I gradually stopped contacting them."

She talked as she walked as if she was reminiscing about something. The breeze blew her long black hair, and her voice gradually became distant and ethereal. The noisy sounds around me slowly faded away, and gradually only Bai Yun's voice remained in my ears.

"Tongtong said I should find a boyfriend at school so that boys won't pay so much attention to me and girls won't exclude me because of this. But I've always been confused. I don't know what kind of boyfriend I want and I'm not even ready."

"I don't want to make an irresponsible choice for myself and others. I have never thought of using you, hurting you, or using you as a shield. I..."

"I don't hate you."

I slowly exhaled, and in an instant I felt much calmer. I had thought of many possibilities...but the only thing I didn't expect would be this kind of ending. But then again...what kind of ending is this? Am I accepted? Or rejected?

But compared to these, I am more puzzled about——

"Why are you telling me this?"

Bai Yun was also stunned when she heard what I said, but she quickly turned around and replied to me:

"Because I don't want you to misunderstand me."

At that moment, I didn't know how to respond. People around me looked at me. I didn't know what to do or how to choose, but soon my concerns disappeared with Bai Yun's action.

I don't know how she suddenly changed from her previous gentle demeanor in front of everyone and took my hand boldly, pulling me towards the stall. All the noise and uneasiness in my heart disappeared at that moment.

I couldn't see the face of Bai Yun as she walked in front of me, nor could I hear the conversations of the people around me, but at this moment when I couldn't see or hear clearly, I felt a sense of relief for no reason.

The time for clubs to recruit new members is coming to an end. Even the most popular booths before now only have a few people left, and more booths have already started to pack up their things. For most clubs, promoting the club in the freshmen's study rooms is the highlight of their recruitment of new members.

There were only a few people left in the Hanfu Club still filling out the new member recruitment forms, and Liu Tongtong was like a hands-off boss, lying on her back in her chair counting the new member recruitment forms in her hand as if she were counting money, with sunglasses on her face that she had gotten from somewhere.

After seeing Bai Yun and I walking towards this side, she slowly raised her sunglasses, and her eyes swept back and forth between Bai Yun and me. Her wandering gaze finally fixed on our hands.

At this moment, I seemed to be in an unprecedented embarrassment, or perhaps nervousness. After all, I just told this girl that I didn't do anything just now, but now it's like this. What if she asks me again...

Thinking of this, I swallowed and didn't even dare to think about it any further.

"Why did you come just now? I'm almost dying of exhaustion! Xiaoyun——"

But just when I thought this little girl was going to do something, she seemed not to see anything, and instead pounced directly on Bai Yun, rubbing against her like a cat.

This makes me feel envious. If only I could...

"Hmm, Xiaoyun is still nice to me. She even remembers to buy me milk tea!" Just then, Liu Tongtong saw the milk tea in Bai Yun's hand, and her eyes lit up, "Unlike someone..."

Is this someone talking about me? Definitely, he is talking about me!

“This…I didn’t buy it.”

As if she felt a little embarrassed when she saw me standing there, Bai Yun actually pointed at me after hearing Liu Tongtong's words. After hearing Bai Yun's words, she looked at me in surprise, as if she had discovered some new continent.

"real or fake?"

"Bai Yun and I bought it from the milk tea shop together. The goods are genuine and the price is fair. No one is cheated."

"Hmph, you still have some conscience."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. For a moment, alarm bells rang in my heart, and I felt something was wrong. My premonition told me that this little girl was definitely going to cause trouble again.

Thinking of this, I quickly looked around. Fortunately, there were not many people nearby. Many new stalls were packing up and preparing to leave. Occasionally, there were a few people who were paying attention to the situation here, but they were standing very far away.

After ensuring that everything was safe, I felt at ease and replied calmly:

"what happened?"

"You just called Xiaoyun by her full name, right?"

"Uh...yeah."

"Well, since you are so sincere, I allow you to use the name 'Xiao Yun' with me!"

"what?"

After hearing her words, I couldn't help but be stunned. It's not that I was scared by the words of this girl, on the contrary... she was simply helping me to assist. This sudden feeling of gap is like your next game is against boxing champion Tyson, but the referee is a nobody, and Tyson was knocked down by a sneak attack before he even got on the court.

"Xiao Yun won't object to anything anyway, right?"

Liu Tongtong hugged Bai Yun and said with a smile, and after hearing her words, Bai Yun didn't say anything, but just nodded with a red face, which made me feel overjoyed.

But before I could be happy for a while, Liu Tongtong punched me and asked me to help move the tables, chairs and the shed back to the warehouse. This made my eyes twitch, but I didn't complain. After all, I couldn't let two girls carry all these heavy objects.

After moving the tables and chairs, I naturally had lunch with Bai Yun and the others. During this time, I clearly felt that the looks around me were a little different. Although my mind advised me not to be too arrogant, I couldn't contain the joy that appeared on my face from the bottom of my heart.

During the meal, Liu Tongtong didn't say much, but kept counting the dozen or so new member recruitment forms, while I was chatting with Bai Yun. This gave me some new understanding of her and also made many people eating around me envious.

After dinner, Bai Yun and Liu Tongtong hurried back to prepare for the afternoon class. I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I simply walked towards the dormitory. From time to time, I repeatedly opened my mobile phone and looked at the WeChat account I had just added with Bai Yun.

I returned to the dormitory with a cheerful face and humming a little song. I pushed open the door and found that Fatty and his friends seemed to have become autistic due to playing games recently. The three of them were playing poker around the table. When they saw that it was me, Fatty was the first to react. He jumped up from his chair and yelled:

"Brothers! Come on!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, I was about to run away, but Lao Wang and Xiao Li ran much faster than me. As soon as I ran to the corridor, I was carried back by these two men.

After seeing this situation, some students passing by in the corridor made way for me and observed a second of silence for me. They did not feel it was too strange. After all, this kind of activity was normal in the boys' dormitory. I even saw a guy next door who was even worse off. He was thrown out of the dormitory with his chair by his roommate.

But just when I thought these guys were going to chop me into pieces, I didn't expect that two of them would carry me directly to the sofa. The other three of them surrounded me, and each of them suddenly smiled, which made me feel creepy.

"Hey, Xiaolin, are you thirsty? Come here... Bingkuoluo, just taken out of the refrigerator."

"Brother Lin, you've worked hard. Let me give you a shoulder massage!"

"Hey! Dad... Dad, I got you your favorite Lao Tan pickled cabbage beef noodles!"

"Damn it, did you take the wrong medicine? What's going on?"

Seeing several people acting like they were taking the wrong medicine one after another, calling each other by their seniority, I suddenly felt uneasy. Logically, these bad friends would only remember me, their father-like lunch bringer, when they asked me to help bring lunch. Why did they act like they were having a seizure today?

"Hehehe, Xiaolin, I heard that you have a very good relationship with Bai Yun and Liu Tongtong!"

"Ah? Where did you hear that?"

As soon as I said it, I regretted it...because after I said it, the three brothers all looked as if they knew it.

Damn, it turns out you were cheating me!

Seeing this situation, I simply laid my cards on the table with them. Bai Yun, Liu Tongtong and I appeared in many places today. You all are not blind, and it will probably not take long for these photos to spread across all the major chat groups.

But I still kept some of it to myself. Otherwise, if they knew that I helped Bai Yun take off her clothes, they would probably hang me up and beat me.

"Brother Lin is awesome!"

"Brother Lin YYDS!"

"Coach! I want to be in a relationship!"

I thought the content of the conversation was nothing important, so I simply handed the phone to them, then leaned back on the sofa, enjoying the heartfelt words of my three sons. But suddenly, their cheering voices suddenly quieted down.

Hmm? What's up? Did Bai Yun or Liu Tongtong send me a message?

This shouldn’t be the case...They should still be in class at this time.

"What...what happened?"

I sat up and found that the three of them were looking at me with strange eyes, especially the fat man, whose eyes seemed about to pop out.

Seeing that something was wrong, I quickly pulled back my phone and decided to see what was going on.

The phone screen was stuck on WeChat’s “Add Friend” function, with a verification message for adding a friend, and the note read:

My name is Xia Xiaoyao.

Chapter 39 Ups and Downs (First Update)

When I saw these five words, my first reaction was that it was over! The truth was revealed!

But soon I realized something else, that is...

How could Xia Xiaoyao know my WeChat? I hadn't told her, and looking at that cute 2D girl's profile picture, it didn't look like a WeChat profile picture that a popular rising star would use.

Thinking of this, my original worry instantly disappeared without a trace. Seeing that Fatty and the others still looked as if they had seen a ghost, I leaned back on the sofa again and said to them in a tone of regret:

"As expected, your anti-fraud awareness needs to be strengthened. This guy is obviously a liar! Can you think of any big shot who would use a 2D girl as his profile picture?"

"Uh...what you love is your life?"

"Uncle, I like——"

"Mongolian top laner!"

"..."

I was speechless for a moment, but I couldn't just change the subject. Otherwise, given Fatty's personality, I wouldn't be able to sleep today if I didn't explain the matter clearly.

"Ahem, that's not important. What's important is, do you think a big shot like Xia Xiaoyao... would add me on WeChat?"

"You told us the same thing about Bai Yun and Liu Tongtong a few days ago. I doubt it."

"I second the proposal!"

"Agree!"

Seeing Xiao Li and Lao Wang both "recognize the thief as their father" and turn to the fat man, the corners of my eyes couldn't help but twitch, and I secretly sighed that these two people just called me dad, the speed of changing fathers is faster than Lu Bu recognizing his adoptive father!

But at this moment my cell phone suddenly rang, and I looked at the number and it turned out to be an unfamiliar mobile number. Nowadays, acquaintances basically contact each other through WeChat calls, and most of the people who call mobile numbers are scammers, so I subconsciously pressed the hang-up button.

But as soon as I pressed it, the phone rang again.

Hmm? Could it be that this call was from someone I know?

"Hello? Who is it?"

"..."

I answered the phone, but there was no sound of talking. I thought there was no one on the other end of the phone, but I could hear a breathing sound from the receiver, which made me confused for a moment.

What is this? The Ring? But it's not even midnight yet!

In addition, all the boys in the dormitory are single and resentful. Let alone The Ring, even if Sadako crawled out of the TV, everyone's first reaction would probably not be to run, but to shout "Fuck, it's a girl!" and then rush towards Sadako and try to hug her.

"Uh... Hello? Who is this?"

"Huh, what? You don't recognize me after just meeting me?"

Finally, a voice came from the other end of the phone, and it sounded like a girl on the other end, but...what's with this complaining voice like a nagging woman? Do we know each other?

Hey, wait a minute...she said we just met?

But today, apart from Bai Yun and Liu Tongtong, I don’t think there’s anyone else——

!!!

Damn, that's not right! Could it be that...

"How...how do you know my phone number?"

"I not only know your mobile number, I also know your WeChat ID. Why haven't you agreed after all this time? Are you deliberately not wanting to add me?"

"No no."
