He hadn't admitted it, so that proved they hadn't reached that stage yet.
But that last sentence, "I want the best kind,"
Felt like a small knife had grazed her chest.
Yao Mingyue slowly exhaled a breath, her gaze becoming more determined, bit by bit. She would reclaim him by her side sooner or later.
"Ming Yue, the video is done. Should I add you as a friend and send it to you?"
At this moment, Chen Guangnian also ran over, speaking as if he was seeking praise.
Yao Mingyue didn't refuse this time. After accepting the friend request, she let Chen Guangnian send her the video.
As expected, the video was steady and clear. Yao Mingyue watched his figure in the video and silently pursed her lips.
Xu Musen returned to his original spot.
Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong pounced on him.
"Holy crap! You actually know this trick too? Are all playboys multi-talented?"
"This song can't be found online. Don't tell me you wrote this yourself?"
"Sort of." Xu Musen, as a reborn person, would indeed deem it too irresponsible not to do things like plagiarizing books or songs.
"I didn't expect you could do this. Write one for me too; I want to use it to chase a girl!"
Xu Musen ignored the two clowns.
Lin Daiyu watched him with a complex expression, equally surprised that the song was written by Xu Musen himself.
It felt like an excess of perfection.
She was somewhat unwilling to accept it but knew she didn't stand much of a chance.
This sweet and sour feeling...
"Lianmai, I feel like I've been dumped again," she leaned on Zhao Lianmai's shoulder.
Zhao Lianmai was speechless and shook her head. What she needed to close off wasn't her heart but to cure her overly romantic mind first.
An Nuannuan was washing her feet, holding her phone, and in the roommate's group chat were posts from the campus forum forwarded by Ge Jiayue and the others.
The content was all about Xu Musen's guitar and singing from today.
Titles like "Sexy Male College Student Confesses Online, Mysterious Girl Unrevealed."
"Shocking! A Prestigious Male College Student Makes All the Girls Scream with Just His Mouth."
"A Hu Hai University Male Student Wins a Girl's Heart in Three Minutes"
The headlines became more outrageous.
But An Nuannuan was reading with great interest, hardly touching her milk tea.
"Nuannuan, you and him haven't really defined your relationship yet? That was practically a confession to you," Ge Jiayue teased as she moved closer to ask.
An Nuannuan blinked, still a bit perplexed about that kind of couple relationship.
"Grandma said you shouldn't have an early romance in school."
"We're all in university now, is it still early love? Some seniors are even pregnant and have babies," Ge Jiayue said.
"Exactly, Nuannuan, with your knack for sweet-talking, aren't you worried he might charm you into having kids before you even graduate?"
Her roommates laughed heartily.
An Nuannuan hugged her milk tea and took a slurp. Despite the added ice, why did her face seem to heat up the more she drank?
"Hee hee, he really stole the spotlight today. So many girls left messages on the confession wall, hoping to date him."
Ge Jiayue let An Nuannuan take a look at her phone.
Today, the campus confession wall was filled with various posts from girls wanting to add Xu Musen as a friend, some even boldly wanting to pair up with him.
An Nuannuan felt that her milk tea suddenly lost its flavor.
It was like her favorite candied hawthorn was now being eyed by many, all wanting to snatch and take a bite.
An Nuannuan's pink lips puckered subconsciously.
"Oh my, you don't have to worry. After all, Nuannuan, there are few who can rival your beauty.
But with boys, you have to give them a taste of sweetness now and then. If you like him too, you could definitely make a move, and you don't have to be too shy, like you could let him hold your hand or something..."
Ge Jiayue chuckled mischievously, the scheming adviser already coming online.
Jiang Jinfang, who laid nearby with a face mask on, shook her head at Ge Jiayue's attempt to play the wise old driver without any real experience.
With your level of skill, don't even try to show off in front of An Nuannuan.
Meanwhile, in the boys' dormitory, although Chen Guangnian had added Yao Mingyue as a friend, he had only sent her a video of Xu Musen.
Even now, he hadn't figured out how to send the first message.
"There's nothing to be shy about. If you ask me, just straight up invite her out to eat!"
"She's the high and cold goddess, I think it's better to take it slow and steady, perhaps start with a goodnight message."
"Then you might as well just tuck yourself in bed, man. When chasing a girl, you gotta go all out. Hesitating just makes you look lame. Just go for it! Going all-in is a form of wisdom!"
Chen Guangnian held his phone while his few overly enthusiastic wingmen began giving their excited advice.
Chen Guangnian listened, finding some sense in their words, but the first impression still mattered a lot to him.
He typed and retyped, deleting each attempt for not being quite right.
"Look, Yao Mingyue is in a bad mood right now, chatting about other things won't work. Just tell her that I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow."
"Bringing breakfast is too basic. Just order some pastries to be delivered to the dorm building now and send her a message: 'Come down in five minutes, I've brought you something to eat.' I just want to see which girl could resist that?"
Hearing this, Chen Guangnian felt a flash of inspiration; it seemed like a good idea.
"Alright, I'll go buy some pastries for you. If you manage to get her, just remember to ask her to introduce me to a rich bestie."
His roommate patted him on the shoulder confidently, "Trust me, bro, this move is sure to win her over!"
Chen Guangnian nodded and started to excitedly compose the message.
[Come down in five minutes, I've brought you cake.]
"Send it, send it, you'll get her for sure!"
His roommates all cheered him on excitedly.
Chen Guangnian's trembling hand finally clicked 'send.'
Then, the next moment, a striking red exclamation mark appeared before his eyes.
"Sorry, you are not friends with the recipient. Please add them before sending."
All the guys in the dorm: "[Clown] gif."
