Chapter 279: Convincing Myself
Chapter 279: Convincing Myself
In the boys' dormitory, Ji Xun Meimei ate breakfast. Thinking that it was Shang Qing who was silently caring for him, he felt so happy that his heart softened. The corners of his mouth never fell.
The three boys saw a blush on his fair cheeks. They could only sigh, "It's the goddess's charm that can win over this cold, academic genius." Didn't you see the academic genius was shy? Although they had only known Ji Xun for a little over a day, it was obvious that he was obsessed with Shang Qing. The goddess's charm was extraordinary.
The dormitory was filled with a peaceful and happy atmosphere. However, the students in the cafeteria were shocked to see Shang Qing buying Ji Xun's breakfast. Soon, a small group of people began to spread rumors that Shang Qing had a one-sided crush on Ji Xun, and to get close to him, she had even flattered him by buying him breakfast. The obscene words spread by some of the girls who were attracted to Ji Xun were simply unbearable.
Shang Qing, who was eating breakfast, naturally didn't know about this rumor. Cang Yan was the only one in her dormitory who knew that she bought breakfast for Ji Xun.
The cafeteria was too big, and the food was different at each counter. Furthermore, the girls in their dormitory were scattered across three departments, not even in the same class. They had different dismissal times and preferences, so to save time, they had already been spread out at different counters.
Seeing Shang Qing buying breakfast for Ji Xun and his roommates, Cang Yan was shocked and confused. After all, while Ji Xun was a handsome academic, Shang Qing was also a top-notch beauty, and there was no one she couldn't date! Could it be that Shang Qing also liked Ji Xun, so she took the initiative to buy breakfast to pursue him?
Why would she rush to buy breakfast for a boy, and even try to curry favor with his roommates for him? Is Shang Qing a love-brained person? No way!
But this was Shang Qing's decision, and out of respect, Cang Yan didn't ask directly. Besides, when they returned to the table where the four of them were sitting, Mo Beibei and Ye had just returned and sat down. She couldn't bring herself to ask in front of her roommates. She couldn't afford to disrespect other people's privacy.
But she really couldn't be a love-brained person! Didn't she say that? Spending money on a man would bring her bad luck for the rest of her life! She didn't want such a flawless goddess to sink into the mud.
However, if Shang Qing could listen to her advice, she wouldn't mind giving her a kind reminder, but if she persisted, then she wouldn't have to be her friend. Although, after just over a day, she had already developed a strong crush on Shang Qing.
"What if Ji Xun is a good boy? After all, he is the top student in the country. He is handsome, good at studying, and was selected as the representative of outstanding students to speak. His character should not be bad." Cang Yan was thinking blankly, not realizing that she was destined to be a worrywart.
Wasn't Ji Xun always staring at Shang Qing yesterday? Shang Qing also likes Ji Xun. Isn't this a two-way love? It's so romantic. This is simply fate.
Cang Yan agreed with this idea, and looked at Shang Qing with a hint of eagerness to try.
She was also very excited when the handsome man and beautiful woman became boyfriend and girlfriend! Especially this kind of love at first sight. She also wanted to be a witness! Cang Yan actually persuaded herself!
Thinking of this, Cang Yan, who had been unable to eat, started to eat with big mouthfuls. The food was still very fragrant. Hmm, it was delicious to watch a beautiful woman eating.
Shang Qing, on the other hand, ate absentmindedly. She was already very hungry, but now all she could think about was, why wasn't Ji Xun eating? He said he wasn't hungry? How could that be? Was he just losing his appetite? That was a real possibility.
Shang Qing knew Ji Xun's appetite wasn't very good. This dated back to when Ji Xun went abroad to compete, and it took him over ten days to return.
Tall and slender, with a naturally noble aura, Ji Xun, with an air of nobility and elegance, attracted many eyes the moment he appeared. But his gaze was focused on only one person. In this vast world, there was only her!
The moment Shang Qing saw Ji Xun appear in the crowd, her eyes turned red. If for no other reason, Ji Xun, who had grown up under her care, had lost a lot of weight and looked weak and tired.
Ji Xun had a gentle and doting smile on his pale face. When he saw Shang Qing's tall and slender figure in the crowd, he could no longer control his suppressed emotions. He stretched out his long legs and ran towards Shang Qing quickly.
Time seemed to slow down many times. Shang Qing just stared at Ji Xun Junyi's figure blankly until he hugged her in his arms. Shang Qing felt his slight trembling movement.
"Sister..." A hoarse murmur lingered in Shang Qing's ear, making her heart tremble and panic.
"Why have you lost so much weight? You didn't eat well abroad, right?"
The corners of Ji Xun's eyes were flushed, as if filled with infinite colors, and his eyes were also filled with moisture, but he didn't dare let Shang Qing see it. He just rested his chin on Shang Qing's shoulder and put his arms around her. It seemed that at this moment, he was truly alive. He didn't want to be away from her for so long, so far away. God knows, he almost couldn't hold on. If it weren't for the daily video calls and nursery rhymes, he didn't know how he could have made it through those long dark nights?
Every minute and every second he was abroad, he thought about Shang Qing, hoping to return to her side. That became the most important thing he couldn't let go of, or even a life-saving panacea.
No one can replace Shang Qing's position in Ji Xun's life! She is his salvation and the medicine that prolongs his life!
Shang Qing slipped her hands through Ji Xun's narrow waist and placed her small hands on his back, patting him gently. He had lost a lot of weight, which showed that he wasn't doing well abroad. Shang Qing felt distressed.
In the hall, people came and went, and many eyes were cast on the boy and girl. They were really too pleasing to the eyes. Faced with such beautiful things, who could resist paying attention?
But even in such a chaotic situation, Shang Qing and Ji Xun's world only has each other, and they are focused on each other.
After a long while, Shang Qing calmed down and stepped out of Ji Xun's embrace. She held Ji Xun's slightly cold fingers, raised her head, and said with a smile, "Xiao Xun, let's go home. Grandma has prepared a table full of your favorite dishes for you."
"Okay." Ji Xun had calmed down, and the moisture in his eyes had long since disappeared, transformed into doting and indulgence.
Because Ji Xun had lost a lot of weight, Shang Qing and Grandma Kang thought he hadn't eaten well abroad, and that he was starving and suffering, so they were particularly concerned about him and served him food. Because of this, Ji Xun ate a lot.
At that time, his already poor appetite was beating wildly because he had eaten so much all of a sudden. Ji Xun's face turned a little pale, and a flash of pain appeared in his lowered eyes, but his expression did not show any discomfort at all.
Naturally, Grandma Kang and Shang Qing didn't notice. They just wanted Ji Xun to eat more, as if only by eating more could they make up for the ten days of poor eating.
Thanks to the care of Grandma Kang and Shang Qing, Ji Xun had always smiled obediently and ate the food they brought him with a look of satisfaction. But only he knew that his appetite was roaring wildly, causing him difficulty breathing.
