Fang Jing nodded and said, "That’s right, I heard from a senior that Senior Sheng is usually very aloof. He doesn’t even entertain girls who confess to him. I heard a girl chased him for a whole semester, with various coincidental meetings and attempts to start a conversation, but he didn’t even remember her name. Yet, that still doesn’t stop girls from frantically pursuing him."
"Are you sure, the one we met last time is really the same person?" How does it not match the rumors at all?
"Maybe, Senior Sheng acts differently only in front of certain people!" Fang Jing said, lifting her eyes with a smile toward Shen Weiyi’s direction.
Yan Xiao Yue also looked over.
"What are you all staring at me for?" Shen Weiyi had already heard about all the various rejections Sheng Ting had made from Shen Jingqi, so none of what Fang Jing said surprised her.
"Yiyi, are you really going to watch Qin Ruo chase after Senior Sheng?" Fang Jing asked, her eyes wide.
"What else?" Was she supposed to stop the other person?
"I think if it were you, your chances would definitely be better than Qin Ruo’s," Yan Xiao Yue suggested earnestly.
Fang Jing nodded in agreement, "Yeah, why don’t you give it a try and chase after Senior Sheng?"
Shen Weiyi was a bit amused and frustrated, did they really think chasing someone was something to just try?
How could one just ’try’ in relationships?
"Alright, stop worrying about what others are doing and think about yourselves! I heard that tomorrow’s temperature might reach 40°." It seemed that military training wasn’t tiring enough, letting them have the energy to ponder about other matters.
"No way, isn’t that just asking for heatstroke?"
"This weather is crazy, we are really too miserable!"
The two suddenly cried out in lamentation.
At this point, they couldn’t help but want to follow Qin Ruo’s example. But that was only wishful thinking.
The next day, the temperature indeed soared close to 40°, thankfully the instructor was humane enough to take everyone under the shades for military training, yet everyone was still unbearably hot.
When it came to taking a break, everyone felt like dehydrated fishes, grabbing the water placed to the side and chugging it desperately.
Shen Weiyi’s water had run out early, her throat felt as if it were smoking, just as she was about to ask Fang Jing and Yan Xiao Yue if they wanted to go to the supermarket, suddenly, a bottle of water was handed to her, "Drink this!"
Shen Weiyi looked up and saw Jiang Zhiyi.
It had been almost a week into the military training, and this was the first time he had approached her.
Surrounded by curious glances, Shen Weiyi did not take it, refusing, "No thanks, I’m not thirsty."
Jiang Zhiyi said nothing, his face expressionless, maintaining the gesture of offering the water.
Continuing the standoff would only draw more attention; Shen Weiyi did not want to become the center of attention, so she reluctantly took it and said, "Thank you!"
Jiang Zhiyi didn’t say anything and returned to his formation after handing over the water.
From the moment Jiang Zhiyi appeared, Yan Xiao Yue and Fang Jing had been holding their breath in anticipation, watching him the entire time. Only when he left did they excitedly speak, "Yiyi, you’re amazing, when did you get to know a handsome guy?"
"He’s also a freshman! And quite handsome at that."
"That’s right, he doesn’t look inferior to Senior Sheng. You really have good luck with attractive guys!"
"And they’re all handsome!" both sighed with envy.
"Alright, stop guessing, it’s not possible between him and me." Fearing the two would again link her with Jiang Zhiyi, Shen Weiyi decided to clarify directly.
"Why not?" Seeing her so certain, the two asked, puzzled.
