Chapter 80
Chapter 80 Qin Qing lived on the third floor of Graduate Apartment No. 2. As she was heading down to the second floor, she saw two younger female students from the same advisor walking up, chatting and blushing slightly, clearly excited. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t notice their goddess senior heading downstairs.
Just as Qin Qing was about to greet them, she overheard their conversation:
“Isn’t he just too handsome? Is he from our school? How come I’ve never seen him before?”
“He’s definitely not from here. If there was such a gem in our program, it would have been known throughout the school long ago.”
“Ah, I really want to ask for his phone number—if he could be my boyfriend, even if we broke up, I’d brag about it for a lifetime!”
“Don’t get your hopes up. From the way he looks, he’s clearly waiting for someone. He must already have a girlfriend… I wonder who she is. Finding someone so handsome isn’t easy; she probably spends her days worrying about you face-oriented fangirls.”
“What’s wrong with being face-oriented? Handsomeness and beauty are human resources! Sharing them visually is only fair!”
The girl who was being “teased” puffed her chest and flipped her hair, ready to march up the stairs, but then she was caught off guard when she saw—
“Qin—Senior Qin…”
Qin Qing was a goddess-level figure among most of the graduate students. Besides her appearance, temperament, and excellent academic performance, her warmth mixed with aloofness was the most defining characteristic—something almost all gods and goddesses possess.
So even though the younger students might be older than her, they always felt nervous in her presence.
The other girl quickly greeted Qin Qing as well.
“Senior, are you going for lunch?”
“I’ve already eaten,” Qin Qing shook her head and smiled, asking,
“Have you just finished?”
“Yes,” the two of them nodded in turn.
“Then I’ll leave now. Goodbye.” Qin Qing brushed past them.
“…………”
The two girls stared blankly at each other until Qin Qing’s figure disappeared from view.
“Have you ever seen… Senior Qin smile so gently?”
“……No. How about you?”
“I haven’t either.”
“……”
“Wait a minute, could it be—”
“Is that guy downstairs waiting for Senior Qin?!”
“Oh no, what did I just say—ahhhh……”
Meanwhile, Qin Qing, who had already reached the dorm building’s entrance, was unaware of the shock she had caused the younger students. Before even stepping off the lower stairs, she eagerly began searching for the presence of that person.
—The target was too obvious.
Qin Qing’s gaze fixed on a direction.
Standing next to a light gray sedan, Wen Yufeng was dressed in a simple white T-shirt, a thin jacket, and faded blue jeans, with the black baseball cap she had seen him wearing last time. From the high steps where she stood, she could only see the sharp line of his jaw, his long neck, and his alluring collarbones.
…No wonder 80% of the girls in the entire student apartment building were sneaking glances at him.
Qin Qing even noticed that some girls had already discreetly adjusted their phone angles to take pictures of Wen Yufeng.
Recalling the conversation of her two junior students earlier, Qin Qing couldn’t help but smile, walking over with a light-hearted stride.
Wen Yufeng, leaning against the car with his eyes half-closed and arms crossed, looked cold and unapproachable.
—
This was quite different from the Wen Yufeng who had called her earlier.
Qin Qing was puzzled. She thought about it and deliberately slowed her pace, stopping half a meter in front of Wen Yufeng.
After a moment, she playfully said, “Excuse me, may I ask if you—”
“Not a student from our school, has a girlfriend already, thanks.”
The smooth, uninterrupted response came out of Wen Yufeng’s lips.
Qin Qing was taken aback, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
At the same time, Wen Yufeng realized whose voice it was. He opened his eyes with slight annoyance, lifted the baseball cap, and placed it on the head of the laughing girl, with the brim facing backward.
“…Are you still laughing?”
Qin Qing tried to stop laughing but burst out again when she saw Wen Yufeng’s disheveled hair sticking out after he took off the cap.
—This time, she laughed so hard her stomach ached.
Seeing Qin Qing laugh to the point of breathlessness, Wen Yufeng’s expression darkened.
He suddenly reached out, pulling the girl who was still half a meter away towards him, and, turning sideways, he pushed her against the car door, wrapping his arm around her waist.
Then he leaned down and kissed her reddened lips.
Qin Qing, who had been laughing, froze in place.
She blinked in confusion, her ears seemingly hearing the click of a phone camera.
Two seconds later, as her awareness returned, her ears turned bright red.
Qin Qing hurriedly pushed Wen Yufeng away.
Wen Yufeng, clearly not intending to forcefully hold her, took a step back.
He then held onto the edge of the car’s roof, bent forward, and stared at Qin Qing—
“I was just asked three times—are you not going to comfort me and just laugh?”
Qin Qing’s gaze flickered.
—
From her angle, the boy’s eyes were dark, looking like two beautiful pieces of glass under the light.
Even at such a close distance, she couldn’t find any flaw in his features.
Qin Qing couldn’t help but laugh again: “That’s the way it should be.”
Wen Yufeng: “…”
In his understanding, this sentence from his sweetie was essentially a polite way of saying “you deserved it.”
“You’re here to mock me instead of comforting me—so it’s also what you deserve.”
After saying this, Wen Yufeng quickly bent down and pecked her lips.
Then he stepped back, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face and in his dark eyes.
“…”
Qin Qing, blushing, looked at him for two seconds, then suddenly raised her fair hand to cover Wen Yufeng’s eyes.
Wen Yufeng, suddenly in darkness: “…??”
Qin Qing, with a slightly red face, turned away and bit her lip.
“You’re right…”
“—Hmm?”
“You’re practically seducing…”
The latter part of the sentence faded away quickly.
But Wen Yufeng still heard it clearly.
He lifted the corner of his lips: “Did I manage to seduce you?”
“…………”
“If I seduced you, I’ll take responsibility right away, really.”
“…Wen Yufeng, you should go back now. I suddenly don’t want to see you.”
At the car, laughter finally came from someone else.
…………
Qin Qing took Wen Yufeng to a highly-rated restaurant outside the campus, where he had lunch after a long trip and missing lunch.
Then the two had a disagreement about where to go in the afternoon.
—
“There are too many people at our school…”
“The more people, the livelier.”
“And it’s not fun…”
“With you around, I’ll never be bored.”
“And the place is small…”
“A whole afternoon is just right for a visit.”
“…………”
Qin Qing took a deep breath: “Tell me, what exactly are you here for?”
Wen Yufeng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then he said slowly, “To assert complete territorial sovereignty.”
Qin Qing: “………………”
She should have known.
Thinking back to that disastrous date, Qin Qing sighed deeply. “Who poked at your extremely fragile and sensitive nerve this time?”
Wen Yufeng stared at Qin Qing for three seconds in silence, then his gaze shifted slightly.
“When I asked someone from your school to bring me here, they said you’re the object of admiration for most of the male students in the graduate school, a single goddess that many people pursue but can’t have.”
“…”
“I think, since it’s graduation time, it’s necessary to give them a thorough relief. It’s not in vain that they’ve ‘had a crush’ on you for years.”
The last sentence sounded like a grinding of teeth to Qin Qing.
She couldn’t help but smile with her eyes down: “Wen Yufeng, you’re about to be jealous enough to fill an ocean.”
“I could be jealous enough to fill the Pacific Ocean, if you want to see it?”
“……”
So Qin Qing eventually took Wen Yufeng back to the school.
By then, her various messaging apps were already blowing up with messages from acquaintances and strangers asking about her relationship status.
Qin Qing didn’t reply to any of them, switched her phone to silent mode, and put it in her bag.
Then she and Wen Yufeng started strolling and sightseeing around the campus.
Qin Qing was already well-known on campus, and with their peak looks, their presence had a near 100% rate of drawing attention.
They encountered a few acquaintances on the way. Aside from exchanging surprised glances, nothing much happened.
Until, as they passed by the main entrance of the school’s basketball gym, a voice calling “Senior Qin” came from behind.
Recognizing the voice, Qin Qing hesitated, feeling an impulse to pull Wen Yufeng away and disappear.
—
There are always admirers around outstanding boys and girls during school days.
But often, only one or two of them are the persistent and determined types.
Qin Qing wasn’t sure about others, but she knew the younger student chasing them was definitely one of the typical persistent ones.
While Qin Qing was struggling, the boy in basketball attire, with a smile full of youthful vigor, came around from behind Qin Qing—
“Senior, long time no see. Who is this?”
……It’s either a blessing or a curse, and it can’t be avoided.
Qin Qing helplessly said, “This is Wen Yufeng, my boyfriend.”
Then she turned to Wen Yufeng, “Wen Yufeng, this is Lin Qin, my—”
“Hello, I’m a suitor of Senior Qin.”
Lin Qin interrupted, his smile slightly fading as he looked at Wen Yufeng.
“……”
Qin Qing facepalmed.
And looking at the boy’s bright smile, Wen Yufeng slowly narrowed his eyes.
