Wang Peng was completely stumped by Liu Yiyi's remark.
"The Douyin videos didn't cover this. What do I do? What do I do?"
Zhihu: The senior girl just hinted at a confession? How should I reply? Urgent, urgent!
Netizen 1: I suggest the original poster reject her, because I don't have a senior girl yet.
Netizen 2: I agree with the person above.
Seeing Wang Peng's face flush red, Liu Yiyi said,
"I was just joking with you, freshman."
Wang Peng lowered his head and caught sight of the senior girl's fair calves.
Because of the rain and walking up the stairs just now, her skirt caught slightly at the knees, revealing a pair of slender and well-proportioned legs. The skin was snow-white and delicate, stirring the heart.
His gaze then drifted upward.
Her knit sweater clung tightly to her figure, highlighting her slender waist and proud curves.
It displayed Liu Yiyi's stunning figure to absolute perfection.
For a moment, Wang Peng forgot how to breathe.
Liu Yiyi's lips curled into a slight smile as she asked Wang Peng,
"Is it pretty?"
"Pretty," Wang Peng blurted out, before realizing the blunder.
Wang Peng felt like he could use his toes to dig out a three-bedroom apartment from sheer embarrassment.
He lowered his head even further.
"Still looking?"
Wang Peng raised his head and asked with a completely serious expression,
"Then where should I look?"
At that moment, Liu Yiyi felt a headache coming on.
This guy was an absolute blockhead.
Who knows how much time had passed? The gloomy weather gradually cleared up.
Inside the library, it grew noticeably brighter as the light filtered through the windows.
Though the rain hadn't completely stopped, a fine drizzle was falling outside.
Leaving now wouldn't pose any problem.
"Senior, the rain has stopped. Let me walk you back to your dorm."
"Do you want me to go back to my dorm that badly?"
"I'm just worried you'll catch a cold."
Liu Yiyi smiled and walked toward the dorms on her own. Indeed, if she didn't change out of her wet clothes, she'd easily catch a cold.
Wang Peng followed behind the senior girl, staring blankly at her back, growing increasingly captivated. Liu Yiyi was around 1.67 meters tall, while Wang Peng stood at 1.80 meters. Seeing his jacket draped over her shoulders made the senior girl look so tiny.
After walking Liu Yiyi back to her dorm, Wang Peng turned toward his own room. He had gotten caught in the rain too and needed to hurry back and change.
Wang Peng's 22-year streak of being single was finally showing signs of changing.
.........
Meanwhile, as Liu Yiyi returned to her dorm and stepped through the door, she saw three girls huddled around a phone discussing something. Li Jiaxin turned around and said,
"Yiyi, Yiyi, look at this fresh-faced freshman named Ye Chen this year. He's so handsome." Before she could finish, she froze, staring straight at Liu Yiyi, and then said to the other two,
"Miaoxia, Xueyang, look at what Yiyi is wearing. Am I seeing things? She actually has a man's jacket on."Zhang Xueyang was the first to turn around, her watery eyes fixed on Liu Yiyi.
"Yiyi, didn't we promise to stay single together forever? How could you go find another man?"
Li Jiaxin began analyzing the situation.
"Yiyi is about one hundred and sixty-seven centimeters tall, and that jacket on her is clearly much bigger than her own. Plus, it's black, which doesn't look like Liu Qing's usual style. Putting it all together, Liu Yiyi, you went out to rendezvous with a man behind our backs."
"No, I didn't."
"Fess up, Yiyi. Jiaxin's logic is bulletproof. If you don't tell the truth, you're not getting a wink of sleep tonight."
"This is Liu Qing's jacket."
"I don't believe it. This is definitely not Liu Qing's style. Tell the truth!"
"Believe it or not, I don't care."
Li Jiaxin's curiosity reached its peak.
"I'm calling Liu Qing right now to ask what's going on."
Liu Yiyi panicked. Li Jiaxin actually had Liu Qing on WeChat—she had added him back when Liu Yiyi first started school and Liu Qing helped move her things, mainly just to tease the future freshman.
Speaking of Liu Qing, Liu Yiyi found him utterly exasperating. Ever since he got into a relationship, Liu Qing had been fiercely opposed to any guy getting close to Liu Yiyi, acting like a dog guarding its food.
In truth, only guys really know what other guys are thinking. From the way those boys looked at Liu Yiyi, Liu Qing could tell they were just after her body, though Liu Yiyi remained completely oblivious to this.
Liu Yiyi snatched Li Jiaxin's phone away in a flash.
"Oh, come on, it was just a freshman."
"Ooh, la la!"
The three of them let out gasps of amazement.
Ignoring their expressions, Liu Yiyi simply washed the jacket and hung it out to dry on the balcony.
Wang Peng returned to his dorm and found it was already six o'clock, with his three roommates already logged into Honor of Kings.
Seeing Wang Peng walk in, Liu Qing called out,
"Old Wang, get online! We're playing Honor of Kings, I've got girls playing with us."
After last night's gaming session, the four of them had grown a lot closer.
Wang Peng wanted to take off the jacket and hang it on the balcony to dry, only to remember it was still with the senior upperclassman, so he sent her a WeChat message.
[The Other Half]: "Senior, my jacket is still with you."
[Half a Roast Duck]: "Which dorm are you in? I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
[The Other Half]: "That wouldn't be right, Senior. I'll come find you to get it tomorrow."
[Half a Roast Duck]: "What's wrong with that? It'll be a good excuse to see what a freshman dorm looks like."
[The Other Half]: "Building 3, 626."
[Half a Roast Duck]: "Don't you have military training tomorrow? I'll just drop it off right inside your dorm."
That worked too. At a loss for words, Wang Peng agreed.
Wang Peng was the type of person who punched hard on the internet, but stayed meek and timid in real life.
