Chapter 222: Has Little Qi Wised Up?

The matter with Luo Shanshan was temporarily handed over to Liao Liao for handling.

As for any follow-up plans, Liao Liao would surely inform her at the first opportunity.

Regarding this, Qi Wen also agreed.

From Jiang Ning’s description, it seemed this issue was beyond what they could handle at their age.

Afterward, the two girls continued walking hand in hand, chatting and laughing as they headed back to the dormitory.

Tonight, the moon was full and bright, blending with the warm yellow glow of the streetlights and the essential summer sound of cicadas. Together, they painted a picture of a midsummer night.

However, Miss Jiang and her Little Wife hadn’t enjoyed their romantic moment for long when an untimely figure appeared at the dormitory entrance.

“Wenwen, my eyesight isn’t great. Who’s that standing at the door?”

“Ge Hanwen,” Little Qi said, and as she uttered those words, Miss Jiang felt a force from Qi Wen’s hand pulling her behind.

Oh dear, Little Qi was protecting her like a mother hen. Though Miss Jiang found it amusing, she surprisingly didn’t step forward but instead stood smiling behind Little Qi.

This feeling was unexpectedly interesting.

When others saw the new top scorer of the entrance exam standing still at the dormitory entrance, those with keen eyes began to speculate. After all, the first-year students finished their evening self-study half an hour earlier than the second-year students. A day student who should have gone home was waiting at the dormitory entrance for over half an hour. The story was self-evident.

So, quite a few people stopped to watch, waiting for their suspicions to be confirmed.

Sure enough, when two graceful figures appeared from the path, the top scorer moved immediately towards them.

The onlookers’ interest was piqued, and their eyes followed the top scorer until he reached the two beautiful girls.

“Senior Jiang Ning, Senior Qi Wen…”

The young man had done his homework, even finding out the name of Miss Jiang’s constant companion, Little Wife.

“What do you want?” Little Qi asked before Miss Jiang could speak, her defensive stance almost making Miss Jiang laugh.

“Senior Qi Wen, I want to talk to Senior Jiang Ning alone, is that okay?”

“No,” Qi Wen refused bluntly. “Just say what you have to say here.”

Hearing this, the young man looked at Qi Wen, then turned his gaze to Miss Jiang.

Jiang Ning waved her hand with a smile. “I’ll listen to her.”

Seeing that he couldn’t take his crush away alone, the young man stood there, conflicted, his brows furrowed deeply. Finally, he spoke in a low voice:

“Senior Jiang Ning, the first time I saw you was last winter break, downstairs at Times Square. You were standing with Senior Luo Shanshan. You struck me as a lively spirit, like an elf not of this world, suddenly appearing in my life and lighting up my future. But when I came to my senses and looked for you, you had already disappeared from sight. In the days that followed, I kept searching for you. Finally, I saw you on the Wall of Honor at First High. Senior Jiang Ning, do you know how excited I was then?”

As he said this, the young man couldn’t help but take a step forward.

Similarly, the two girls took a step back.

Seeing that the young man had a long speech prepared, Miss Jiang frowned.

“Get to the point. I need to go back and take a shower; I don’t have time to listen to your reminiscing.”

“Yes, get to the point!” At this moment, Qi Wen’s face was adorably fierce.

If there weren’t so many people around, Miss Jiang would have loved to pinch Little Qi’s cheeks.

Hearing the impatience in Miss Jiang’s voice, the young man took a deep breath.

“Jiang Ning, can you give me a chance to pursue you?”

After all that, it turned out to be the same old routine.

Miss Jiang looked uninterested. “No.”

“Let’s go, Wenwen.”

“Okay.”

Upon receiving the command, Qi Wen took Miss Jiang’s hand and started walking forward.

The young man wanted to do something more, but Miss Jiang’s calm gaze stopped him in his tracks.

As the beauties walked away, the young man turned back to the two retreating figures.

“Jiang Ning! Can we at least be friends?”

But the two girls entered the dormitory without responding.

As the scene concluded, the onlookers began to comment.

“Tsk tsk, I thought there was something new, but it was just a heartfelt confession.”

“Yeah, if that worked, the fairy would have been taken long ago. How could she still be single?”

“Not interesting…”

“Freshmen are just too young.”

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

When Miss Jiang and Little Qi returned to the dormitory, the bold one was hanging clothes on the balcony, Mai Wanting was reading by the bed, and Yang Ke was still fussing with her long hair.

As soon as they heard the teasing voices of Miss Jiang and Qi Wen, all three turned their eyes towards them.

“How did it go?”

“What do you mean… oh, you mean downstairs.”

Jiang Ning smiled and hooked Qi Wen’s arm. “Of course, I rejected him. Otherwise, my Little Wife would get angry.”

Her teasing earned her a bunch of eye rolls, including from Little Qi.

However, the bold Miss seemed dissatisfied with Jiang Ning’s answer. She put away the clothes rack and stepped into the balcony door.

“Honestly, I’m a bit curious. Jiang Ning, what kind of guy do you like?”

She gestured with her fingers, “I was in Class Two in first year, so we weren’t on the same floor as your Class Three. But I heard a lot about you from the boys in my class. Who wrote you love letters, who confessed to you, who gave you cards. Even some from our class expressed their feelings to you at different times. But you didn’t accept any of them, not even as friends. So I’m really curious…”

As she spoke, Mai Wanting put down her book, Yang Ke stopped fussing with her hair, and even Little Qi, who was about to sit on her bed, turned her gaze over.

Clearly, they all wanted to know what kind of boy could capture the heart of a girl like Miss Jiang.

However, faced with such a question, Miss Jiang just waved her hand.

“If I said I don’t want to date, you wouldn’t believe me, right…”

Then, all four girls nodded in unison.

Seeing this, Miss Jiang sighed.

“Then just think of me as someone with a vague sense of gender, with no concept of romance in my mind.”

That was one way to explain it. After all, many people in college were just having fun every day. It was perfectly normal for a second-year high school girl to be indifferent to romance.

As night fell, with a snap from the dormitory’s light keeper, the room plunged into darkness.

After a while, just as Miss Jiang was about to take out her phone to handle some matters, the mosquito net on her bed was lifted, and a petite figure crawled in.

“Little Waist Fairy~”

“What? Missing your Jiang brother again?” Jiang Ning skillfully wrapped her arm around the other’s waist.

This earned her a fierce bite.

It startled Miss Jiang, the sharp pain almost making her cry out.

“Hey… why did you bite me?!”

Hearing this, Qi Wen released her bite, lowered her head, and mumbled.

“I… I don’t know…”

“I just feel wronged…”

“Especially when that boy stopped us today.”

“I, I…”

As she spoke, Little Qi moved closer to Jiang Ning.

Due to Old Man Jiang’s unusual sleeping habits from a previous life, she wasn’t used to being too close to others. Instinctively, she arched her body backward.

This retreat made Qi Wen feel something was off.

She immediately pouted, her big watery eyes staring at Miss Jiang with a wronged expression:

“Jiang Jiang, do you dislike me?”

“No, no.”

Hastily, she awkwardly explained her discomfort.

Hearing this, after a while, Qi Wen muttered.

“So that’s it.”

“Hehe, then you’re not allowed to dislike me, got it!”

“Got it, got it.”

Miss Jiang murmured, brushing aside the hair that tickled her nose.

After a while, as the moonlight deepened, a soft murmur reached Miss Jiang’s ears.

“Jiang Jiang.”

“I wish you were a boy.”
