Psst! We're moving!
Chi Zhiyu stared at these few words, momentarily speechless, just as she was about to type a response, another message from him came through.
Xie Ye: [Alright, I got it.]
Chi Zhiyu: [?]
Chi Zhiyu: [What do you know?]
She was still pondering what he could possibly mean when her phone vibrated again, message after message coming in.
[You]
[Miss me so much]
[Can’t hold back]
[Confessed to me]
“......”
Looking at this string of words, Chi Zhiyu was utterly speechless.
This guy, can he, have some shame!!!
Chi Zhiyu replied: [......]
Chi Zhiyu: [Did you even open the photo?]
Xie Ye: [?]
After sending that, she waited a bit before he sent over a voice message.
Chi Zhiyu tapped on it.
Then came Xie Ye’s lazy voice: “No, isn’t 520 a confession?”
“......”
Chi Zhiyu: [That’s not mine.]
She wanted to continue typing but had just typed “you” when Xie Ye called.
She blinked and picked up casually, mimicking his usual tone, “Talk.”
Upon hearing her tone, Xie Ye raised an eyebrow, “Checked your scores already?”
Chi Zhiyu lazily responded, “Guess how much I scored?”
Xie Ye casually said, “630.”
“?” Chi Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, “How did you know?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately guessed, “Did you check my scores?”
Xie Ye: “If you checked yours, why would I need to see anything?”
Chi Zhiyu: “Then how did you know?”
“Just your IQ.” Xie Ye retorted lightly, “Hard to guess?”
“......”
Chi Zhiyu muttered a curse under her breath and then corrected him, “You guessed wrong. I scored 633, alright?”
“Oh.” Xie Ye snidely praised, “Three points higher is quite something.”
“......”
This was sarcasm.
“And what about you?” Chi Zhiyu pressed, “Did you deliberately score 520 to confess to me?”
Xie Ye chuckled, “How do you know I didn’t plan it?”
Chi Zhiyu blinked, “Aren’t you supposed to calculate things like this?”
“I don’t,” Xie Ye’s tone turned slightly mischievous, “That’s your forte, Chi Fairy.”
“Who are you trying to fool?” Chi Zhiyu didn’t believe him.
How coincidental could it be to get exactly 520? He always had a good grasp of scoring on exams, knowing which questions to answer for maximum points, and didn’t need extra effort. All he had to do was carefully plan each subject to reach 520.
Having more or less guessed her reasoning, Xie Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, “Pretty smart, aren’t you?”
That was as good as an admission.
Chi Zhiyu curved her lips slightly and asked softly, “So, what did you intend by scoring 520? To confess to me?”
Before the college entrance exam, they hadn’t gotten together yet, but he had already scored this number first.
Xie Ye didn’t beat around the bush, his tone lazy, “Or else? Should I show this score to the grading teacher?”
Chi Zhiyu was amused by him, “So this is your confession? What if I hadn’t seen it?”
Xie Ye said nonchalantly, “You would see it.”
“Huh?” Chi Zhiyu didn’t understand, “Why?”
Xie Ye didn’t answer, just smiled, “Well, you’ve seen it now.”
Hearing this, Chi Zhiyu seemed to realize something and paused.
Yes.
She would see it.
Because following all procedures, and considering her personality,
On the day results were released, he knew she would check his scores for him and see this message.
Everything had been calculated in advance.
520.
It was impossible for her not to understand the meaning, naturally deducing what he wanted to express through this confession.
Compared to the implicitness of that poetry collection, he offered two ways.
One was straightforward, while the other had been hidden for three years, finally discovered by her.
And both meant, I like you.
“Seen it?” Xie Ye asked leisurely.
“Hmm?” Chi Zhiyu was puzzled, “Seen what?”
Xie Ye: “Total score.”
Chi Zhiyu was bewildered, “Didn’t I see it already? What about it?”
“Hmm, alright.”
“? “
Chi Zhiyu was about to ask what was alright when
Xie Ye suddenly called out her name slowly over the phone, “Chi Zhiyu.”
Chi Zhiyu snapped back, “Huh?”
“I like you.”
“......”
“Got it?”
“......” Chi Zhiyu lowered her eyes and laughed, “What is this? A threat or a confession?”
He was reenacting what he originally wanted to say.
Direct and accurate expression.
“What? Not satisfied?” Xie Ye’s tone was cocky.
Chi Zhiyu smirked, “If I’m not satisfied, do you have any other plans?”
“Oh, even if you’re not satisfied, you’ll have to be.” Xie Ye arrogantly stated, “I only have one way.”
“......”
“But if you really don’t like it, I can change.” Xie Ye slowed down his speech, then suddenly turned, “But liking you has only one version, no other options.”
Not expecting him to mean this, Chi Zhiyu’s heart was struck, leaving her speechless holding the phone.
Not hearing her reply, Xie Ye, like during his first confession, was unsure of her emotions, “Hey, talk.”
At this, Chi Zhiyu snapped back to reality, glanced down at the picture of the young man on her computer, pursed her lips, and softly spoke, “Then my answer also has only one version.”
“......”
“I like you too.”
“......”
The soft voice of the girl traveled through the electromagnetic waves into his ears, just like every time she leaned in close.
Continuously pulling at his strings, gently teasing them, completely in control.
Listening to her words, Xie Ye’s lips gradually curved into a small smile.
Chi Zhiyu felt a bit embarrassed after saying it, coughed, “Anyway, we’re already together. Why are you telling me this again?”
Xie Ye: “Oh, I want to.”
“......”
Chi Zhiyu, unlike his shamelessness, naturally changed the topic, “Don’t you have training today? How do you have time to call me?”
Xie Ye: “Competition is the day after tomorrow, temporary rest.”
Chi Zhiyu thought about his usual training schedule and frowned, “Then go rest quickly, stop talking to me.”
Xie Ye leaned back on the gaming chair, his tone casual, “I am resting right now.”
He closed his eyes and plainly said, “Keep me company.”
Chi Zhiyu blinked.
Xie Ye lazily concluded, “That’s helping me rest.”
“No, you need to sleep now.” Chi Zhiyu casually saved Xie Ye’s college entrance exam results and urged him, “If you don’t sleep, I won’t talk to you. Go quickly.”
“Not sleeping.”
“You call me when you wake up, and I’ll chat with you then.” Chi Zhiyu thought for a moment and asked, “Do you have extra training tomorrow?”
“Hmm?”
Chi Zhiyu was about to say if he wasn’t busy, maybe she could visit him, but then remembered the upcoming competition, hesitated, and eventually said instead, “If there’s no training, rest well and sleep. Save your strength, okay?”
Hearing this, Xie Ye teased, “Do you want me to keep sleeping forever?”
“That’s not what I mean.” Chi Zhiyu clicked her tongue, “Just don’t stay up late training, and don’t be nervous.”
“Nervous?” Xie Ye said blandly, “Sorry to disappoint, but that word doesn’t exist in my dictionary.”
“......”
“I’m hanging up, go to sleep quickly.”
After saying this, Chi Zhiyu was about to hang up when she heard him speak again, “Wait a moment.”
Chi Zhiyu picked up the phone again, “Hmm? Anything else?”
“If you want to see me, come over.” Xie Ye said leisurely, “Your boyfriend doesn’t mind resting with you, oh, and sleeping too.”
“......”
Chi Zhiyu directly hung up the call.
She looked up, meeting the dark eyes of the young man in the screen photo, her mind echoing with the words he had just spoken in her ear.
Her face flushed red, and she immediately closed her laptop.
He! How! Can! Be! So! Shameless!!!
Still dazed, Chi Zhiyu was interrupted by Wu Xuan returning from behind.
“The battlefield is behind, the line is long enough to circle the Earth three times.”
Wu Xuan placed the dessert and drinks on the table and turned to look at her, “What’s wrong with you? Your face is red.”
Chi Zhiyu calmly answered, “A bit hot.”
Their seats were in a corner, where the air conditioning didn’t reach well.
“Let’s switch places then.” Wu Xuan suggested.
“No need.” Chi Zhiyu waved her hand, “It’ll be fine in a bit, you sit.”
“Alright.” Wu Xuan nodded, then suddenly remembered something important, “Oh, right, do you know who I just saw?”
Chi Zhiyu steadied her emotions, “Hmm?”
“I saw Jiang Jinxu, he’s actually in the queue.” Wu Xuan glanced back, whispering mysteriously, “And there’s a girl next to him, looking quite intimate.”
Chi Zhiyu found it amusing, “What? Did you hesitate last time, and now you regret it?”
“That’s not what I meant.” Wu Xuan clicked her tongue, “I didn’t expect Jiang Jinxu to move so fast.”
“They might just be friends.” Chi Zhiyu picked up a fork and took a bite of the mille-feuille cake, speculating.
Wu Xuan thought about it, shrugged it off, and continued asking about the competition the day after tomorrow, “When do we leave that day?”
After a few bites of the mille-feuille, Chi Zhiyu found it a bit too sweet and sipped on lemon water, “Around nine o’clock, Xie Ye and the others might come at ten.”
“Alright, then we’ll wait for them at the entrance!” Mentioning this, Wu Xuan was visibly excited, “After watching Xie Ye, I’m going to watch AKC’s team members tomorrow!”
“......” Chi Zhiyu chuckled, “Which team do you actually like?”
Wu Xuan blinked, “I like both. Based on appearance and strength, I like YG’s team. Based on humor, I like AKC.”
Chi Zhiyu had previously researched some of the more famous PUBG teams domestically and understood her point, smiling faintly.
“This is true. In terms of appearance, YG is very strong. All those youthful boys. Before, Polo became a coach after retiring, and now with Xie Ye joining, I dare say,” Wu Xuan gave a thumbs up, “YG will explode this year.”
Chi Zhiyu thought about Xie Ye’s appearance, “But his personality is not good, so arrogant. Doesn’t he seem annoying?”
“Fans think he’s strong and love his arrogant attitude. No,” Wu Xuan suddenly realized, “Now I know why Wild seemed so familiar and obnoxious. It’s the same as Xie Ye.”
“......”
“By the way, did you tell Li Taoran and the others about the competition the day after tomorrow?” Wu Xuan asked while drinking milk tea.
Chi Zhiyu shook her head, “Not yet, I’ll tell them later.”
Wu Xuan: “Alright, let’s finish eating this first.”
Chi Zhiyu nodded and continued eating a few more bites, but her mind was still on what Xie Ye had said about visiting if she wanted. Although the latter part was useless, she understood that he must have sensed her desire to visit.
But if she went, wouldn’t she really end up resting and sleeping with him?
While Chi Zhiyu was contemplating, Wu Xuan called out to her, “Ayu, there’s another cake here. Shall we take it away?”
Chi Zhiyu snapped back, “Oh, sure. We can bring it to Li Taoran and the others.”
“Then let’s go.”
Chi Zhiyu nodded and followed her out. When they reached the front desk and saw the queue, she truly believed Wu Xuan’s statement about circling the Earth three times.
Internally marveling, she accompanied Wu Xuan to pack the desserts. Standing aside, someone suddenly called out from behind, “Classmate Chi.”
That title sounded somewhat familiar.
Chi Zhiyu turned around and saw it was Jiang Jinxu. Not surprised, she nodded slightly, “Classmate Jiang.”
As she spoke, she noticed the girl standing next to him, elegant and graceful, with a demeanor similar to his.
“This is my cousin.” Jiang Jinxu noticed her gaze and hurriedly explained, “We’re here to pick up a birthday cake for our niece.”
Chi Zhiyu didn’t pay much attention and nodded towards his cousin, “Then, happy birthday to your niece beforehand.”
“Thank you.”
After the words fell, the scene grew quiet for a moment as everyone waited for their respective items.
Jiang Jinxu stood behind her, waited a few seconds, then suddenly asked, “When did Classmate Chi and Xie Ye get together?”
Chi Zhiyu was taken aback, “Previously, why?”
Jiang Jinxu pursed his lips, “So, it hasn’t been long since you got together?”
“It counts as recent, but,” Chi Zhiyu looked at him frankly, “I’ve liked Xie Ye for a long time.”
It wasn’t hard to see Jiang Jinxu’s feelings, but their interactions were usually limited to necessary dance collaborations, with little other contact.
Chi Zhiyu didn’t know when he started having these feelings. By the time she found out, she wanted to reject him, but he never explicitly said anything, making it difficult for her to say anything either. She could only subtly create some distance between them.
Xie Ye picking her up earlier had already clarified things, and now with this encounter, he should understand.
No need to waste time on her anymore.
“......”
Seemingly not expecting her to speak so bluntly, Jiang Jinxu paused, stayed silent for several seconds, then smiled faintly, “Classmate Xie is very lucky.”
Chi Zhiyu shook her head, “No, it’s not like that.”
Jiang Jinxu: “What?”
Chi Zhiyu smiled faintly, “I’m the lucky one.”
......
Early morning the day after tomorrow.
Chi Zhiyu was getting ready to leave when she received a message from Xie Ye asking where she was.
Chi Zhiyu glanced at the time; it was only 8:30. This guy woke up so early. She typed back, [Still at home, I’ll meet up with Wu Xuan and the others to take the bus to the competition venue.]
In a few seconds.
Xie Ye sent over a voice message, his voice still a bit hoarse, as if he had just woken up.
“Come to the base first, I’m here.”
Chi Zhiyu: [What’s up?]
Chi Zhiyu: [Is there something you need?]
Xie Ye sent two more voice messages. Chi Zhiyu tapped on them, and the system automatically played them one after another. “Yes.”
“Your boyfriend wants to see you.”
Chi Zhiyu decided to take the bus with Wu Xuan and the others first. On the way past the YG base, she explained briefly.
When the group heard she was going to see Xie Ye first, their gazes turned suggestive, and they eagerly urged her to get off the bus, joking about not torturing them further.
Perhaps influenced by spending so much time with Xie Ye, Chi Zhiyu remained completely calm in the face of their teasing, waved casually, and stepped off the bus.
Approaching the club entrance, she spotted Xie Ye coming out from inside far away. Today, he had unusually put on a proper outfit.
The YG team uniforms consisted of short sleeves and jackets, all black, not much different from his usual attire. However, this outfit somehow accentuated his sharp features, adding a touch of unruliness.
The security guard downstairs saw him come out and greeted him with a smile, “Coming to pick up family again?”
Xie Ye lazily hummed in acknowledgment, looking sleepy.
Seeing him like this, Chi Zhiyu curved her lips slightly, “Were you really sleeping all this time?”
Xie Ye: “No, Old Mu woke me up.”
Chi Zhiyu followed him into the base, noticing the empty downstairs area. The junior trainees clearly hadn’t woken up yet.
They probably had just gone to bed a few hours ago.
Instead of heading upstairs, Xie Ye led her to the back parking garage.
Chi Zhiyu was oddly guided into the car, sitting in the back seat, feeling confused, “Where are we going?”
“To the competition.” Xie Ye turned to look at her.
“Huh?” Chi Zhiyu didn’t understand, “What about the others?”
Xie Ye casually said, “Old Mu is taking care of their makeup.”
Old Mu, for the sake of YG’s image, had painstakingly woken everyone up early to style their hair and make them look good on camera, ensuring they wouldn’t waste their good genes and gain more fans.
When he got to Xie Ye, seeing his indifferent expression, he stared for a long time, finding nothing to improve, and grumpily sent him away to relax and see his girlfriend.
Chi Zhiyu nodded in understanding but asked curiously, “Why aren’t you doing makeup?”
Xie Ye raised an eyebrow, “Do I need to?”
His implication was clear: I’m naturally stunning, do I need these extras?
“......” Chi Zhiyu was momentarily stuck, “Yeah, you look good as you are.”
After dealing with that, she asked the question, “So why did you call me here?”
Surely it couldn’t just be to meet up?
Xie Ye hummed, “To settle accounts with you.”
“?”
Chi Zhiyu furrowed her brows, “Settle what accounts?”
Xie Ye didn’t speak, suddenly leaned forward, reached across her, pulled the seatbelt over to fasten it for her, pressed against her body without moving, his face inching closer, looking down at her with a slow, leisurely tone.
“You didn’t come see me yesterday, pretty ruthless.”
Chi Zhiyu’s breath hitched slightly, instinctively leaning back. Xie Ye followed suit, closing in.
But she didn’t retreat far before the back of her head hit the seat.
No escape.
Chi Zhiyu paused, feigning calmness, “I just wanted you to rest.”
Xie Ye raised an eyebrow.
“If I came over, it would be wasting your precious rest time, which would affect your performance today. So this is for your own good, understand?” Chi Zhiyu logically analyzed for him.
“For my own good?” Xie Ye tugged at his lips, “You think too much.”
“Otherwise?” Chi Zhiyu blinked, “I can’t delay your career, can I?”
“Alright, let’s hear it.” Xie Ye looked into her eyes, “What do you think is good for me?”
“......”
Upon hearing this, Chi Zhiyu impulsively blurted out four words, “Stay away from me.”
“?”
“Otherwise,” Chi Zhiyu said sincerely, “I’m afraid my beauty will distract you.”
“......”
