Due to spending the past year frequently attending classes in the finance department, many of the finance students recognized her.
Plus, she had always been doing her homework; after transferring to the new major, she quickly adapted to the new coursework.
Just as she was coming out of the finance department building that day, she suddenly heard someone calling her.
Shen Weiyi looked up and saw Zhao Mingchen.
In the past year, Shen Weiyi rarely participated in class activities, and she could only say she knew the people in her class apart from Fang Jing and Yan Xiaoyue; she wasn’t familiar with the others. After all, apart from attending classes, there was no other interaction.
As for Zhao Mingchen, they had added each other on WeChat before, and he would occasionally send her some questions related to their major. Since it was related to studies, Shen Weiyi would occasionally reply.
However, although they communicated via WeChat, they hardly spoke a few words in reality.
He would greet her when he saw her, but at most, she would just nod in response.
It looked like he had deliberately waited for her in front of the finance department building.
"Is there something you need?" Shen Weiyi stopped and asked.
Zhao Mingchen took a few steps toward her and stopped in front of her, "I heard you changed your major?"
"Yes!" Shen Weiyi nodded under his overly intense gaze, not understanding why he went out of his way to ask her this.
Whether she changed her major or not seemed unrelated to him.
Was it worth coming to ask her in person?
"Um, I have something to tell you," his expression seemed a bit nervous, "do you have some time?"
Shen Weiyi looked at him, "Sorry, I have plans with someone at noon; can you just say what you need to here?"
Zhao Mingchen glanced at the crowd passing by and finally mustered up the courage, "Shen Weiyi, I like you, can you be my girlfriend?"
Shen Weiyi gave him a surprised look but quickly responded calmly, "Sorry, I don’t have any plans to date right now." Many people had heard rumors about Shen Weiyi and Sheng Ting, but not many actually knew that Shen Weiyi and Sheng Ting were together. After Sheng Ting went abroad, everyone saw Shen Weiyi alone and assumed the two were not together.
This year, Shen Weiyi had received quite a few confessions and did not need to think hard for reasons to decline them.
After speaking, she nodded slightly to him and prepared to leave.
"Wait a second." Zhao Mingchen extended his hand, calling out to her again.
"Is there something else?"
Shen Weiyi frowned, had she not made her refusal clear enough?
"I..." Zhao Mingchen, not quite ready to give up, mustered his courage again, "I know that I’m the only male in class who has your WeChat, and you almost always reply when I message you. I think that means you don’t dislike me, so could you please give me a chance? I really do like you a lot."
Shen Weiyi hadn’t expected that her action of replying to WeChat messages would lead to such a misunderstanding. Had she known, she would not have added him, to avoid politeness.
He couldn’t possibly think that she felt something special for him, could he?
Moreover, not disliking someone and liking someone are entirely different concepts.
"Sorry, replying to WeChat messages is just a courtesy among classmates, to me, you’re the same as any other classmate." There’s no difference between him and others, he was thinking too much!
Zhao Mingchen’s face stiffened, and he opened his mouth to say something, but Shen Weiyi was already stepping away.
Just as she looked up, she saw Sheng Ting emerging from the chemistry department building opposite her.
He also saw her, and Zhao Mingchen behind her.
This time it was Shen Weiyi’s turn to appear stiff, but she quickly returned to normal, withdrew her gaze, and strode away.
