Seeing that Bai Bai Zhi had moved out of the dormitory right after talking with Yan Jin, Yu Shu’s curiosity was piqued.
”Nothing much,” Yan Jin said concisely. “I was afraid she would be a bad influence on you, so I told her to apply to change dormitories.”
Yu Shu muttered, “I thought you were afraid she would bully me, so you made her move.”
”Her bullying you?” Yan Jin swept a surprised glance at Yu Shu. “More like you bullying her.”
Although Yu Shu acted childish in front of her, Yan Jin also knew that Yu Shu, who had come out of the entertainment industry, was definitely not a silly sweet white lotus.
If they were to play mind games, Bai Bai Zhi might not be able to beat him.
But even though Yan Jin knew this, she still didn’t feel at ease letting Yu Shu live in the same dormitory as Bai Bai Zhi.
After interacting with Yu Shu for so long, even Yan Jin, who was terrible at reading people, could see that Yu Shu didn’t like Bai Bai Zhi. So she had acted first and reported later, making Bai Bai Zhi change dormitories.
”Nonsense!” Yu Shu was unconvinced. “Do I seem like the kind of person who would bully others?”
”You wouldn’t bully people,” Yan Jin said seriously. “But you’re too cute. If you were to instigate others to bully someone, it would be too easy, unstoppable.”
Yu Shu snorted in dissatisfaction. “Who would be so silly as to go bully others just because I said so?”
”Don’t speak in absolutes.” Yan Jin pondered, propping her chin up. “If it were me…”
Yu Shu looked at Yan Jin with anticipation. “If it were you, what would you do?”
Would she willingly be the little fool who would go bully others just because of something he said?
The two of them gazed into each other’s eyes, the atmosphere growing more and more ambiguous, as if surrounded by invisible pink bubbles.
”I would tell you to cover your face,” Yan Jin said solemnly. “As long as your face is covered, others won’t be so muddleheaded by lust that they do foolish things.”
[To be honest, for a moment there, I actually thought Yan Jin would coax Yu Shu by saying, “I’d be one of those fools.” I’m the foolish one, really.]
[To be fair, although what Yan Jin said was a bit hurtful, it’s not a bad idea (twisting words).]
[If someone listens to Yu Shu and goes to bully others, the ones who should be criticized are those blinded by lust, not telling Yu Shu to cover his face.]
…
[To the previous commenter, have you never joked around before? They were just playing around, but you took it seriously.]
”Alright, I was just joking.” Seeing that Yu Shu was a little unhappy, Yan Jin knew when to stop. “I really am worried you’ll be led astray by her.”
Yu Shu accepted the way out Yan Jin offered him, unable to hide the upward curve of his lips. “I’m an adult, how could I be so easily led astray?”
Yan Jin fell silent. She didn’t know if she should tell Yu Shu about Bai Bai Zhi’s real identity.
If she told him, it would make her seem like a petty person saying bad things behind someone’s back to drive a wedge between them.
But if she didn’t say anything, naive and sweet Round Round might be taken in by a few words from Bai Bai Zhi and think of her as a true friend.
Yan Jin had no gender discrimination, but there was something off about Bai Bai Zhi no matter how she looked at him. Privately, Yan Jin still didn’t want Yu Shu to have too much contact with him.
”His identity is rather special. It’s not good for me to say it.” Yan Jin hesitated for a moment. “I promised him I wouldn’t tell anyone.”
Yu Shu glanced at Yan Jin and turned his head, saying lightly, “I understand.”
Hmph, this Yan Xiao Xiao valued looks over friendship. They had only met for the second time, and she already had little secrets with someone else.
Yu Shu turned around and angrily grabbed a pillow at random.
Angry, especially angry!
Yu Shu decided that unless Xiao Xiao held his hand and coaxed him in a soft voice, assuring him that compared to Bai Bai Zhi, he was the most important person in her heart, this anger would not subside!
After interacting with Yu Shu for a long time, Yan Jin could more or less tell when Yu Shu was unhappy based on his behavior.
Seeing that Yu Shu had turned his head and remained silent, Yan Jin leaned over to look at Yu Shu’s current expression.
After confirming that Yu Shu was unhappy, Yan Jin coughed lightly a few times. “I wasn’t finished speaking.”
”Didn’t that person tell you not to tell anyone?” Yu Shu said primly, “I don’t want to hear about the little secrets between you and that person.”
Yan Jin stared into Yu Shu’s eyes and said seriously, “But you’re not just anyone.”
[Yan Jin just promised Bai Bai Zhi she wouldn’t tell anyone, and then she immediately turned around and told Yu Shu. She’s going back on her word in front of the entire nation’s viewers.]
[Well, she can’t tell outsiders, but a little chat between lovers is no big deal.]
[What the heck, the commenter above just assumed they’re together???]
…
[With the way they interact, aren’t they like a couple? We might as well move the civil affairs bureau over here.]
”Xiao Xiao!” Yu Shu turned his head and lightly patted the back of Yan Jin’s hand, his lips pressed into a line in feigned restraint. “Don’t keep teasing me into laughing.”
”You’re the one who laughs easily.” Yan Jin poked at the dimple faintly appearing at the corner of Yu Shu’s mouth. “You laugh at anything I say.”
Yu Shu couldn’t help breaking character after being poked by Yan Jin, a pair of dimples brightly hanging at the corners of his mouth. “You’re so annoying.”
Although Yu Shu said she was annoying, his tone was soft, sounding more like he was coquettishly complaining.
Yan Jin’s eyes flickered slightly as she couldn’t help but complain to the system: If Round Round were my boyfriend, I would definitely think what he really meant was ‘I like you’.
Originally, Yan Jin was just casually complaining, but who knew that the system, for some unknown reason, actually conveyed Yan Jin’s complaint to Yu Shu.
It caused a blush to rise on Yu Shu’s cheeks, his thick lashes fluttering in confusion, not daring to meet Yan Jin’s eyes.
Yu Shu’s strange reaction left Yan Jin at a loss. “Why did you suddenly blush?”
Who was to blame for his blushing?
Yu Shu glanced slightly at Yan Jin, his gaze more enchanting than spring water. Yan Jin’s eyes deepened at the sight, unconsciously feeling parched.
[I don’t stan Yu Shu, but I actually swallowed involuntarily at that look just now.]
[Has Yu Shu ever been this alluring even when looking at a trash can before? Sure enough, when you have someone you like, you naturally learn the skill of captivating others.]
[Actually, I think if Yan Jin got serious, her gaze might be even more enticing than Yu Shu’s. It’s a pity she’s such a blockhead right now (clutches chest in anguish).]
Yu Shu stared at Yan Jin for quite a while before laughing lightly. “Xiao Xiao, I’m an adult. Don’t keep luring me.”
