Chapter 278 Isn’t this a two-way love?
There were many girls like this in high school. They relied on Shang Qing's fame and his ruthless rejection that scared the girls to tears, which stopped the endless love letters and gifts.
How could someone find out about his roommates in just one day? The most important thing was that these three seemingly nice roommates actually accepted gifts from other girls for him!
Because of this, Ji Xun's gaze towards the three boys turned cold. He ignored their awkwardness and embarrassment. He walked to the bed, clenched his hat between his fingers, and turned to walk out. The atmosphere in this dormitory was not suitable for him to stay.
Wu Peng saw Ji Xun like this and knew that Ji Xun was angry, but thinking of Shang Qing's entrusting look, he could only bite the bullet and say, "No. Ji Xun, don't think too much. That girl didn't mean any harm. She just knew you didn't have breakfast, so she asked us to bring it to you. It was also a good intention. It's okay for you to accept it."
"Heh." Ji Xun raised a mocking smile, staring at the somewhat embarrassed Wu Peng with a dark gaze, and said sarcastically, "It seems that you are not qualified to decide my affairs."
Ji Xun glanced at the three awkwardly-looking boys, his eyes darkening, his furrowed brows betraying his displeasure. This cold, sullen aura, the pressure it brought with it, weighed heavily on the three boys.
Seeing that Ji Xun no longer paid attention to them and turned away, Li Chen could only bite the bullet and explain. He did not want to cause a rift among his roommates because of such an incident, so he could only explain patiently.
"I...we know...but...we're thinking that Shang Qing is the recognized campus beauty. She bought you breakfast, so it's obvious that she likes you. It would be great if you two could become boyfriend and girlfriend."
Ji Xun wanted to push away Li Chen who was blocking his way, but when he heard this pale explanation that made his heart beat fast, his outstretched hand froze in mid-air and his steps suddenly stopped. He lowered his head slightly and looked at Li Chen. His voice was a little hoarse and his eyes were burning: "Who did you just say it was?"
It's no wonder Ji Xun looked down at Li Chen. After all, Ji Xun was 1.9 meters tall, while Li Chen was only 1.79 meters. Thus, Li Chen looked up at the handsome and cold Ji Xun under immense pressure.
"It's Shang Qing." Li Chen was afraid that Ji Xun didn't pay attention and didn't know, so he explained, "She's the school beauty they privately selected yesterday."
Ji Xun's fingers trembled slightly, and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, almost jumping out of his chest. He took a deep breath, no longer looking at Li Chen and the other two, turned around and walked back to the table with his long legs. He sat down, opened the two bags of breakfast, raised his handsome face with a slight blush, and asked nervously, "These two bags are mine, right?"
"Hmmmm..." The three boys nodded foolishly, watching Ji Xun, who had just wanted to kill someone, now have a gentle smile on his face. He opened the bag eagerly and took out the breakfast. He looked so cute and well-behaved.
Looking at the crystal clear, steaming porridge, Ji Xun pursed his lips. "Sister, you have good taste! This porridge looks delicious." He secretly praised Shang Qing's choice.
Without any hesitation, he picked up the bowl of porridge and drank it obediently.
Hmm…it tastes a bit…er, no, it's soft and sticky. As long as it's chosen by Shang Qing and bought for him, he thinks it's the best. Even the most unpalatable porridge tastes delicious at this moment.
Ji Xun, who was eating breakfast with big mouthfuls, looked like a well-behaved and sensible child.
The three boys looked at each other. The one who was cold, arrogant and gloomy like a nobleman just now, now becomes as gentle and cute as a little puppy?
The three of them smiled. It seemed like Ji Xun knew Shang Qing. Could it be that Ji Xun also liked Shang Qing? Otherwise, how could his personality and attitude be so different before and after?
As if they had discovered some great secret, the three boys no longer felt any psychological burden. They took the remaining bags and sat down opposite Ji Xun. They opened them and found a lot of food inside, more than enough for them to eat their fill.
Wu Peng took a bite of his breakfast and couldn't help but praise: "Goddess Shang Qing is so generous. She bought so much for us. We can't even finish it all."
Li Chen and Zhang Le nodded in agreement after hearing what Wu Peng said. Their cheeks were puffed up from eating.
His original intention was to praise Shang Qing and to make Ji Xun realize that this girl cared about him in a special way. But when Wu Peng finished speaking, he felt a chill all over his body.
When he looked in the direction of the cold air, that is, at Ji Xun, he saw Ji Xun looking at their food with a look of resentment, his face warm and gentle, without any trace of coldness. It was as if the coldness that had just appeared out of nowhere was just an illusion.
It's no wonder the three boys felt unusually cold. Ji Xun was simply jealous again. His sister hadn't just bought it for him, she'd also bought it for three other boys she didn't even know! He wasn't the only one! He felt wronged.
Zhang Le smiled and said, "That's right. However, there are still differences between goddesses. Didn't you see that Ji Xun's is different from ours?"
When Ji Xun heard Zhang Le's words, her smile almost reached the back of her head. She looked at the breakfast in her hands, her heart warming. This was the taste and food he liked. His sister understood his preferences best.
Zhang Le was trying to say that Ji Xun probably had an upset stomach, and Shang Qing had bought him a healthy and digestible meal. They obviously didn't have such concerns.
Li Chen couldn't help but admire, "Yeah. Shang Qing even bought breakfast for us to send to Ji Xun. Although we benefited from Ji Xun's help, we are not the kind of people who take advantage. Let's treat her to a meal next time."
Ji Xun secretly curled his lips. How could he possibly let them get close to his sister? He was the one who invited them! So, he said in a particularly arrogant manner: "Just eat, you don't need to take them back."
At this moment, Ji Xun was happy. Yes, why was he confused? Shang Qing didn't even know them, so why would she buy them breakfast? It was because she wanted them to bring it over, and it would be inappropriate not to buy it for them! Or maybe, she bought it specifically for them to make these roommates treat me well. So, the root cause was that Shang Qing did this for him.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun felt so happy that he almost jumped up. He ate his breakfast happily. This was specially bought for him by his little sister. It was delicious.
It seems that whenever there is a problem of this kind, Ji Xun's clever brain always freezes and becomes extremely stupid.
Zhang Le understood what Ji Xun meant. He winked at Li Chen and Wu Peng and said with a smile, "Haha, that's right. Ji Xun, please come and help us repay the favor. We won't hold back."
"Hmm..." Ji Xun nodded good-naturedly, feeling the warm and peaceful days.
