Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 322 - 320: Have you seen Xue Yang’s girlfriend?

Chapter 322: Chapter 320: Have you seen Xue Yang’s girlfriend?

Si Wen was furious, and the consequences were dire. She immediately started a voice call.

Xue Xing, who was sound asleep, was startled awake by his phone. He instinctively fumbled for it, pressed the green button, held it to his ear, and mumbled a groggy, "Hello?"

His voice was so faint it was almost inaudible, as soft as the sound of a breeze rustling through leaves.

Si Wen paused. Her anger inexplicably subsided by more than half, and she even began to doubt herself.

Who am I? What am I doing?

"If you’re not going to say anything, I’m going back to sleep," Xue Xing mumbled when the other person remained silent.

It was another one of those captivatingly seductive voices. Si Wen hesitated for a moment before asking, "You... do you always go to bed this early?"

Hearing a woman’s voice—and a stranger’s at that—Xue Xing’s drowsiness began to fade.

He opened his eyes, sat up, and rubbed them before looking at his phone. It was a WeChat voice call from a user named "Gentle, Not-So-Gentle." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He still didn’t recognize the name.

"Who are you?"

Si Wen already realized he hadn’t replied because he was asleep. By the sounds of it, he definitely hadn’t seen her messages.

She had no choice but to explain again. "I’m Si Wen. The one who played games with you today."

Si Wen rubbed her nose, feeling a little sheepish.

Played games? The memory clicked for Xue Xing. "You’re the one who wants to steal my brother from my sister-in-law. What do you want with me?"

Si Wen was so irritated she was speechless. "Have you been reading too many melodramatic novels? Lin Xi is my best friend! Why would I ever try to steal her boyfriend?"

"Good, as long as you’re not."

Xue Xing lay back down, but he suddenly bolted upright again. "Wait a second, how did you add me on WeChat? I remember my brother didn’t give you my contact."

Xue Xing knew his brother hadn’t given her his WeChat then, and he certainly wouldn’t have done it later. So, who could have given her his contact info?

"Never mind how I added you. Just don’t you dare delete me."

"Oh."

Xue Xing didn’t have many contacts on WeChat anyway, so he rarely deleted anyone.

"Also, are you sure you want to apply to Yanbei University?"

"Of course. I’m going wherever my brother goes."

"Alright. Well... go back to sleep."

"Oh."

Xue Xing was still bewildered by the strange call, but he was simply too sleepy to care. His eyelids felt heavy as lead, and he yawned so much his eyes started to water.

Si Wen didn’t disturb him any further. She hung up and also lay down to sleep.

She didn’t even realize it wasn’t even eleven o’clock yet. Normally, she wouldn’t go to bed until after midnight.

The studio had been incredibly busy lately. Feng Jiajun was keeping long hours, leaving early and returning late. He had even skipped many of his classes.

He worked overtime at the studio, even on weekends. Weekends were the only time he could finish work a bit earlier in the evening, giving him a chance to get together with his friends.

Just today, after getting off work at eight, he went to a food stall near the university to have a late-night snack with Zhang Caide.

"Brother Jiajun, it’s really hard to get a chance to see you these days."

"Brother Caide, I can’t help it. Things have been crazy at the company, so this is the only time we can catch up."

Zhang Caide poured Feng Jiajun a glass of wine. "When we actually graduate, we’ll have even less time to meet up."

For a moment, both grew sentimental. Time had flown by. It felt like only yesterday they were starting university, and now, in the blink of an eye, it was almost over.

"But we both chose to build our careers here in Yancheng, so we can still see each other if we want to. It’ll be harder for classmates who moved to other cities or went into specialized fields."

This was a small consolation to them.

As the two sat there, they happened to see Chen Ying and Wu Xiaoya arm in arm across the street, apparently also heading out for a late-night snack.

At the sight of Chen Ying, Zhang Caide’s heart began to stir again.

Because Chen Ying was simply dazzling tonight.

The late-March weather was no longer as cold as winter. She had shed her heavy coat and was wearing a knee-length hooded sweatshirt dress with sheer black stockings that perfectly highlighted her long, straight legs.

Her normally loose, wavy hair was tied up in a playful topknot. She had neat bangs and two small tendrils framing her face, a complete departure from her usual intellectual style. The new look made her appear vibrant, youthful, and stunningly beautiful.

The eyes of passersby were drawn to her.

Chen Ying, clearly used to the attention, paid them no mind as she chatted and laughed with Wu Xiaoya.

"Xiaoya, it’s been ages since you went shopping with me."

"I know, I’m sorry. I’ve just been so busy lately."

Recently, Wu Xiaoya had been so busy cleaning up the mess Wu Meiju had left behind that she felt like her hair was about to turn white from stress.

Thankfully, she had finally gotten things in order. Now, all that was left was to hire new people according to plan.

"Xiaoya, how do you like working?"

Wu Xiaoya thought for a moment before replying, "I think it’s great. I get paid, I’m learning new things, and my days feel full and productive."

Being so busy kept her from dwelling on other things. It indirectly helped to mend the heartbreak she had suffered over the New Year holiday.

As long as Xue Yang doesn’t ask me to leave, I’ll stay by his side forever, Wu Xiaoya thought. Our relationship is purely that of a superior and a subordinate, and nothing more.

The two walked on, chatting away, completely oblivious to Zhang Caide and Feng Jiajun’s eyes following their every move.

Zhang Caide couldn’t help but mutter, "What did that kid Xue Yang do to deserve the affection of a goddess-like campus belle?"

Although he had to admit Xue Yang was outstanding now, he still felt that he himself was more than a match for a beauty like Chen Ying.

Feng Jiajun was startled by Zhang Caide’s muttering.

"Brother Caide, you have to believe me. Xue Yang really isn’t interested in Chen Ying anymore."

"I don’t believe it. She’s gorgeous. There’s no way Xue Yang doesn’t still like her. Besides, she’s publicly announced that becoming her boyfriend is simple: all someone has to do is pursue her for six years, just like Xue Yang did. Only a fool wouldn’t understand such an obvious hint."

Feng Jiajun fell silent.

Indeed, Chen Ying’s move was incredibly obvious. It was undoubtedly a message to everyone else that she would only accept a confession from Xue Yang.

After all, not everyone can persevere for six years. Plus, this is university, not kindergarten. How many adults have six years to waste waiting around? And if it all amounts to nothing in the end, who can you complain to?

"But," Feng Jiajun said slowly, "I’ve seen his girlfriend."

Zhang Caide asked in surprise, "You mean, you’ve seen Xue Yang’s girlfriend?"

Feng Jiajun nodded. "To be precise, I’ve seen a photo of his girlfriend."

"How does his girlfriend compare to Chen Ying?"
