I want to have a normal campus romance

Of course, this kind of thing is not impossible to happen, but logically speaking, there must be a pre-plot for this to happen, such as I accidentally scratched my Porsche with sandpaper, or my name is Makoto Ito or something like that.

But obviously, I am just an ordinary sophomore, not a senior, nor a high school student in Japan, so this kind of good thing probably has nothing to do with me.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Anyway, now that things have come to this, any further attempts at hiding the truth or playing tricks would only be a waste of both parties' time. Although I felt that she was trying to trick me, Liu Tongtong's reputation in school was unexpectedly good. At least during my freshman year, I never heard anything bad about her.

Moreover, a girl with a personality like Bai Yun’s who can be best friends with others can’t have a bad personality either.

This is also the reason why I didn’t start RUN directly. Otherwise, if a completely strange woman suddenly tried to trick me like this, I would have doubted whether she wanted to pinch my kidneys or take me to travel around northern Myanmar.

"You're surprisingly forthcoming, brother. Actually... I have a part-time job on Friday, but I can't go because of something else, so..."

"So you want me to help you with a day's work?"

"Bingo, you work for me and I help you pursue Xiaoyun, how about that? It's fair, right?"

It was within my expectation that Liu Tongtong would make some requests. As expected, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you really didn't make any requests, then you must have paid the price for it in some place that you can't see.

"Of course, let me make it clear... I'm only helping you once."

I was not surprised by this. After all, I didn't expect her to help me all my life. If that was the case, I would have to consider whether she wanted to use her skills against me.

Although I don't have any paranoia, but in this era of fast-food love, I still want to remain sincere in love and don't want to cheat or be cheated.

"it is good."

Although I think that even with Liu Tongtong's help, it is still a very slim hope to become Bai Yun's boyfriend. After all, reality is not a novel. Plots like being liked by the girl you like or even being liked by the girl you like are just the beautiful yearning for love in most people's minds.

However, although the hope is slim, but just in case, just in case I really catch up with Bai Yun, then my college life will be without regrets.

Instead of waiting until I’m old and regretting not having such a passionate love, I might as well give it a try. This way, even when I’m in a wheelchair, I can brag to other old guys that I almost chased the school belle.

"What are you talking about?"

After Liu Tongtong and I added each other as WeChat friends, Bai Yun just happened to put the food tray back to the dining area and walked back. Seeing that we were having a good chat, she asked us a question out of curiosity. However, before I could open my mouth, Liu Tongtong, who was sitting opposite me, covered for me and quickly evaded the question.

I also tacitly handed the documents on the table to Bai Yun without mentioning what had just happened. Of course, although I really wanted to deliver the documents with her, there were not many documents in the stack. If I really did that, my intention would be too obvious. I was afraid that Bai Yun would just give me a good guy card.

So I sighed secretly and said goodbye to them both at the cafeteria door. They both said goodbye to me with a smile, but compared to Bai Yun's smile, Liu Tongtong's smile had a deeper meaning.

But I am still a little curious. Liu Tongtong is a campus beauty who is not inferior to Bai Yun. I guess as long as she asks for help, people who want to help her will line up at the door of the dormitory building.

Maybe there is something unspeakable?

Just as I turned to the direction of the dormitory and took less than two steps, I suddenly felt someone holding my shoulders. For a moment, I even thought that the boys in the cafeteria were collectively furious and wanted to beat me up, or that some rich second-generation guy who liked Bai Yun showed up and wanted to teach me a lesson in public.

"Lin Ran, I was wondering why you haven't been in a good state recently. I didn't expect you to be the first to get married without telling your brothers!"

"And it was with our school's most beautiful girl. You didn't even tell us about this important event. Brother Lin, you are so disloyal!"

"That's it!"

"What the hell, why are you three here?"

When I turned around and saw that it was Fatty and the others, my heart, which had been hanging in the air, calmed down again. But when I saw the frowning faces on their faces, I suddenly felt something was wrong again.

Oh no, this feels like I'm going to incur public outrage.

Seeing that the situation was not good, I was about to run away, but Xiao Li and Lao Wang grabbed me.

"Wozhi, you are following me!"

"What the hell are you following? We came to the cafeteria to eat. I was worried that you would miss the meal, so I brought you a portion. But you ate alone with the pretty girl without telling your brothers!"

The fat man waved the clay pot rice in his hand as he spoke, while the other two looked at me with indignation on their faces.

"Brothers, let's improve the food tonight! Go to dormitory 404, let's go!"

The fat man waved his hand and I was carried back to the dormitory by several people. In the evening, the fat man ordered a lot of barbecue on his mobile phone. We rarely improved our meals. Although eating out is also a good choice, for contemporary college students, it is not as convenient as ordering takeout.

Although they kept saying that I, the "traitor" who got single before them, should be sentenced to death, in the end it turned into a love exchange conference, and they all turned into love saints and came to lend me a hand.

So a few of us who had little experience in dating got together to discuss how to pursue the girl we liked, giving each other bad advice and sharing unreliable experiences.

The wine bottles clinked together, talking about the unrealistic future and ideals.

Chapter 10 News

To be honest, I don't know how I climbed back to bed last night. Even after class in the afternoon, my head still felt a little dizzy. But walking in the corridor to Xiao Jingwen's office, feeling the breeze blowing in from the window, I suddenly became much more awake.

As for why I had to go to Xiao Jingwen's office again? Well... Although I didn't do much practical work, I was indeed a class committee member of our class. Of course, I was just a temporary cultural and sports committee member, and I had nothing to do at ordinary times. But occasionally, an idle class committee member like me had to do some things, such as sending our class's forms to the office.

"Sister Wen, I'm here."

I walked to Xiao Jingwen's door and knocked, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from inside. Seeing this, I pushed the office door open gently in confusion, but found that there was no one in the office.

This is weird! She just told me to come to her office, why is there no one here now?

Forget it, there’s no rush anyway, just wait a while.

I put the form on Xiao Jingwen's desk, then sat down on the public sofa in the office, waiting for Xiao Jingwen to come back. After all, I just saw that her computer screen still showed an unfinished document. She must have gone out suddenly for something, probably something urgent, or went to the bathroom, right?

As if to confirm my guess, just as I was sitting on the sofa and killing time by scrolling through my phone, I heard the "tapping" sound of high heels in the corridor outside the door. I was about to get up and open the door when I heard the sound, but suddenly I heard a rapid cell phone ring in the corridor, and the original footsteps stopped abruptly.

"Didn't I tell you that this matter is not negotiable?"

Xiao Jingwen's voice came from outside the door, but her tone was not as gentle as usual. It sounded a bit distant and annoyed. Although I had not met her many times, it was the first time I heard her speak in this tone.

Who is calling? Is it an enemy?

But soon, Xiao Jingwen's words outside the door broke my guess. Xiao Jingwen seemed to have heard something unreasonable, and her originally restrained tone became even more indignant than before.

"What do you mean by not considering you? I have my parents, my job, and my life here. I will not go abroad!"

"You said you would come back, and I believed you. I waited for you for two whole years, but now you say you don't want to come back. Is that it? What do you think of me? Am I still your girlfriend?"

When I heard this, my whole body trembled, and for a moment I suddenly felt that I had discovered some terrible secret.

What the hell!

What on earth did I hear? Xiao Jingwen actually had a boyfriend abroad. I had never heard of that. I remember when Xiao Jingwen first became our counselor, many gossipy girls hinted at her and finally guessed that Xiao Jingwen was single.

After hearing the news, many boys clamored to pursue Xiao Jingwen. After all, although teacher-student love is a taboo, it is only limited to middle schools. Not to mention, there are several professors in our school who married their students. Of course, those boys were just talking, and none of them really put it into action.

But then again, is it really okay for me to sit in my office and eavesdrop on such explosive news openly?

Although I didn't mean it, I'm afraid no one will believe me if I say this?

Just as I was struggling with what to do, the corridor outside the door fell silent again. I thought the person on the other end of the phone must be saying something, but I didn't have good hearing and couldn't hear the voice at all. But from Xiao Jingwen's silence, I could roughly guess what he said.

I don’t know how long it had been before Xiao Jingwen’s voice was heard from outside the door again, but this time, there was a bit more indifference and disappointment in her voice than before.

"Let's break up. I misjudged you. From now on... don't call me again."

After hearing the news, I was a little surprised for a while, because I thought it was just a common quarrel at first, but now it seems... is this a direct breakup? And from Xiao Jingwen's resolute tone, it was not a joke, nor was it just angry words, but a real breakup!

Why did such a bizarre thing happen to me? What should I do now? !

Waiting online, urgent!!!

"Tat-tat--"

Along with the sound of a cell phone being hung up, the footsteps that had originally paused sounded again, but the same sound now sounded more like a death warrant to my ears!

Xiao Jingwen had just broken up with her boyfriend. If she was stimulated by something like this again, what if she suddenly lost control of her emotions? Although this matter had nothing to do with me, if Xiao Jingwen cried in the office and I happened to be in the office, who knows how many versions of the story would be spread.

Jump out of the window? But this is the fifth floor. If I jump from this height, not to mention this matter, I am afraid that all the problems in my life will be solved with me.

But Xiao Jingwen was blocking the door to the office, so I couldn't get out either? And the office was so small, there was no place to hide!

I never expected that I would have to start looking for secret passages or secret rooms to escape to, just like the old man next door, when I was only in my early twenties. But I don’t even have a girlfriend! Why did I have to deal with this?

Fortunately, I have one more option than Lao Wang next door, and that is - start!

There was no way to run away, and there was no place to hide, so I simply sat back on the sofa, took out my headphones and put them on, opened the NetEase Cloud Music, played a random song, and turned up the volume, pretending that I hadn't heard what had just happened.

As the door opened with a click, I clearly saw Xiao Jingwen pause in my peripheral vision, and I quickly began to "release myself", no... I started my performance, pretending to be immersed in the world of singing and unable to extricate myself.

"Listen to me saying thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm—"

Wow, what song was recommended to me as the first song of the day? I don’t know why, but after hearing this song, I always felt a sense of discomfort coming from deep in my DNA, and I almost couldn’t hold it back.

Fortunately, after I pretended for a while, Xiao Jingwen had already walked in front of me. Seeing this, I pretended that I had just noticed her, took off my headphones, and then said very naturally:

"Sister Wen, you're here." I raised my head and looked at Xiao Jingwen calmly, as if nothing had happened. "All the forms for our class are here. Take a look and see if there are any problems."

I handed the form in my hand to Xiao Jingwen, and she looked at me with some confusion, her eyes staring straight at me, which made me feel guilty.

"You just..."

"What happened to me just now?"

"No...nothing."

It seemed that thanks to the fact that I usually played dumb with Fatty and the others, Xiao Jingwen didn't suspect me of anything. After taking the form from my hand and taking a look at it, she let me go. It was a close call, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But if possible, please don't play so excitingly next time.

Just as I was walking on the way back, secretly sighing at the weird things that had happened to me recently, my cell phone rang with a ding, dragging me back to reality from my memories.

"Who's looking for me?"

Logically speaking, no one should be looking for me during this time. Could it be that Fatty and the others wanted me to bring them food? Or was it someone asking for answers to homework again?

I opened my phone and found that the person who sent the message was not Fatty and his friends, and they were not even my acquaintances.

"Uh-huh???"

Why did Liu Tongtong send me a WeChat message?

Chapter 11: Work from the Bar

Just when I was curious about why Liu Tongtong suddenly sent me a message, before I could check the message, Liu Tongtong's WeChat call suddenly came in. I didn't think much about it and pressed the answer button.

"Hello? What's wrong? What's going on?"

Although it would seem boring to use such formal words as an opening remark when a beautiful girl calls me, I still have to distinguish the occasion in some cases. After all, I want to pursue Bai Yun now. If I use too frivolous words as an opening remark, Liu Tongtong might think that I am not a reliable person. If I change my mind at the last minute, or even whisper to Bai Yun in bed at night, I guess I will have no place to cry even if I want to.

In addition, Liu Tongtong had just sent a WeChat message, and I just didn't reply in time, so she called me. My years of experience tell me that in this situation, either she is accusing someone of something, or there is something urgent. No matter which one it is, it seems a bit inappropriate for me to start with a witty remark.

"Where are you now? Are you still in class?"

Although I really wanted to complain that if I could answer her call during class, wouldn't I be more awesome than the teacher? But after hearing her slightly anxious tone, I suppressed my complaints and replied seriously:

"Our afternoon class just ended, and I'm still in the teaching building."

"Um... do you remember the part-time job I told you about before? The boss there told me that the schedule has been changed temporarily."

After I heard what Liu Tongtong said, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. From her tone, I thought something big had happened, like there was a yandere who had been secretly in love with me, and after hearing that I was pursuing Bai Yun, she came with a hatchet and wanted to have a "heartfelt" talk with me. It is common for part-time jobs to have their schedules changed temporarily, after all, part-time jobs are not considered formal work.

"What time has it been changed to?"

"Today at four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Oh, it's four o'clock this afternoon."

Wait a minute? This afternoon at four?

I subconsciously glanced at my phone and saw that the time was 3:12, which meant there was less than an hour left until my part-time job.

Wow, what kind of boss is this? He just notified me of the change of time at this time. Isn't this annoying?

But it shouldn’t be a big deal. The school is not that big anyway, and this time is enough for me to ride back and forth to school.

"If it's inconvenient for you, forget it."

"It's okay, just send me the location,"

Although the situation has changed, after all, I promised her at that time. If I give in now because of this little difficulty, then wouldn’t the buns I ate at that time be in vain? I ate that bun so much that I felt like I didn’t want to eat buns again in my life. I almost had bun PTSD.

"Then~ I'll leave everything to you."

After hanging up the phone, I trotted out of the teaching building, randomly scanned a shared bicycle parked nearby, opened WeChat, and checked the part-time job address sent to me by Liu Tongtong.

"Well, let me see..."

Huh? What is this place? I don't remember this place in school.

Wait a minute... This location doesn't seem to be in the school at all? Isn't this location in the city? ? ?

Looking at the address Liu Tongtong sent me on WeChat and the long distance, and then looking at the bicycle under my feet, I fell into deep thought for a moment.
