Chapter 251: Are We Sabotaging Their Foundation?
Storming back into the dormitory, the angry vibe was thick enough to cut with a katana.
Wang Li Juan looked at Shen Meng Jie coming in and asked weirdly, “Did it get windy outside?”
“Not really?” Shen Meng Jie answered, bewildered.
“Oh.” Wang Li Juan nodded, but her eyes slyly drifted to Shen Meng Jie’s chest, all bundled up.
That’s not Shen Meng Jie’s style at all!
Catching Wang Li Juan’s gaze, Shen Meng Jie glanced down at her neckline.
With a big sigh, she yanked her scarf apart.
Suddenly, her long, white neck and delicate collarbones were on full display.
Look at Shen Meng Jie, now her charm points went off the charts!
Wang Li Juan smiled faintly. Yep, Shen Meng Jie looked steady, as always.
Shen Meng Jie nudged Wang Li Juan’s side like, “Haha, still the same old Shen.”
Then she plopped onto her bed, which was directly opposite Han Xiao Jing.
Right now, Han Xiao Jing was typing something on her phone, then deleting it.
Hearing Shen Meng Jie approach, she looked at her phone again then paused.
Shen Meng Jie sat beside her silently and whispered, “Are you thinking about what to say to Long Aotian?”
Han Xiao Jing instinctively flicked off her screen, feeling awkward.
Seeing her like that, Shen Meng Jie knew exactly what was going on.
She sighed, gently hugging Han Xiao Jing and softly said, “He already has a girlfriend.”
After saying that, she rested Han Xiao Jing’s head on her shoulder.
Some of Shen Meng Jie’s private stuff was pretty ruthless, but gotta admit, she treated her sisters pretty well.
Especially since they shared the same dorm, bonds got even closer.
After hearing this, to Shen Meng Jie’s surprise, Han Xiao Jing just froze for a moment and then gave a faint smile.
Looking at Han Xiao Jing’s calm expression, Shen Meng Jie tried to comfort her softly, “Long Aotian isn’t the only one, maybe the next guy will be even better.”
“Or maybe we can dig at his wall?” Shen Meng Jie’s confidence was unmatched—talk about boldness!
Han Xiao Jing shook her head with a smile, “You think I’d be that upset?”
Before Shen Meng Jie could say anything, Han Xiao Jing kept going, “Honestly, I’m not surprised Long Aotian has a girlfriend.”
“It’s just—missed the chance to confess, so yeah, a little regretful.”
Though she seemed fragile, Han Xiao Jing was pretty clear-headed and rational.
Why does she like Long Aotian? Because he’s outstanding, really good.
If she’s drawn to him, other girls probably are too. Can’t just expect her to be okay with him having a girlfriend, right?
And she certainly couldn’t just go d*e of heartbreak because he’s taken, right?
Han Xiao Jing kept a pretty open mind, fantasizing that if she’d just be brave enough to confess early, maybe everything would turn out different.
Watching her look so composed, Shen Meng Jie slowly got up, stretching lazily.
Her figure was stunning, and she knew how to use her strengths.
Han Xiao Jing took a deep breath, reopened her phone, and logged out of Long Aotian’s chat.
It’s fate—sometimes you’ve just got to accept what’s written in the stars.
“Your personality really needs a makeover. If I were you, and liked someone, I’d go for it yesterday—no hesitation. You’re too indecisive, thinking maybe it’s not good enough. Forget that! If it’s in your hands, it’s yours!”
Hearing this, Han Xiao Jing didn’t want to admit it, but… Well, she knew it was true.
She’s too gentle, always hesitant when facing certain things.
It’s a lot like Hu Yu Ying back in the day, but Han Xiao Jing was luckier—she had family who loved her and some good friends, too.
“Well, I think the guy in Long Aotian’s dorm, Li Long Long, is actually okay…” Shen Meng Jie started, but was interrupted by Han Xiao Jing:
“Dream Jie, what are you talking about?”
She didn’t feel anything special about Li Long Long.
And from their chat, it was obvious.
Plus, university life was just starting—four years (plus the inevitable extras), plenty of changes, plenty of growth ahead.
Future’s bright, right?
“Hmph, that Long Aotian actually dared to look at me like that. I will not let him get away with it!”
Han Xiao Jing looked at Shen Meng Jie and quietly asked, “He… did something to you?”
Shen Meng Jie recounted the story, talking about how she saw him with a girl and went to ask if she was his girlfriend…
“Was that girl pretty?”
Shen Meng Jie paused, helplessly pouting. “Yeah, I hate to admit it, but she really is good-looking.”
She swung her head. “No matter what, I will find a way to make Long Aotian regret it.”
“But honestly, he’s actually pretty nice.”
“No way—if I don’t do something, I won’t feel right.”
Shen Meng Jie knew it wasn’t entirely proper, and she understood Long Aotian’s good intentions when he said those things…
But maybe that was the only way she could find an excuse to get close to him.
“Achoo!” In Dorm 147, Long Aotian sneezed and rubbed his nose.
“Old Ao, you’re not catching a cold, are you?”
“Nah, it’s just Little Girl missing me!”
Li Long Long got up and looked at Long Aotian’s bed. “By the way, we still haven’t met his little sister. When do you plan to introduce us big brothers?”
Hearing that, Huang Fei and Xu Shuai perked up—they were definitely interested in getting some freebie info.
“Let me guess—was it those two cute girls who came to our school last time looking for you?” Huang Fei probed.
Seeing that Long Aotian didn’t deny, Xu Shuai also cautiously added, “The one who always looks so happy when she smiles? The one with short hair, so adorable?”
“Hmm, or maybe that pure and shy little beauty next door? The way she looks at Lao Ao, so gentle and loving, it’s almost like she’s admiring her own reflection or something,” Huang Fei guessed.
“Could it be that cold but pretty girl from the next college? That icy look, but when she’s with Lao Ao, she’s lively and tender. I mean, if it’s not something going on, I’d be surprised!”
Li Long Long nodded firmly.
Long Aotian coughed awkwardly. What’s with everyone? That girl with the short hair, clearly an enemy… the icy college flower? That was his own sister…
“If Little Girl’s willing, I might even organize a gathering someday, bring the three of you guys to meet—wouldn’t that be fun?”
[Good night, brothers and sisters.]
