Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 353 - 351: Accompanying Each Other Until Dawn

Xue Yang abruptly averted his gaze from the phone screen. It was better not to video call his girlfriend when she wasn’t with him, otherwise... It was unbearable.

"It’s late. Let’s get some sleep," he said.

Lin Xi lay back on the bed, holding the phone high above her. She was unaware that this posture was even more suggestive. Her slightly enchanting voice came through the speaker, "But I don’t want to sleep yet."

Xue Yang also lay down on his side, propping the phone up against the wall so it faced him. "Then let’s keep talking," he said, facing the screen as if he were facing her.

Lin Xi mirrored him, also turning onto her side as if they were truly face-to-face. She smiled sweetly and said, "Okay."

Whenever they were together, they never felt bored or awkward, even in silence. When they did talk, their conversations could span anything and everything. The topics seemed endless, flowing continuously from one to the next.

Before they knew it, the time was already 3:00 AM. Although their topics were endless, Xue Yang was starting to struggle to stay awake. Today was Wednesday, which meant he had to go to school—or rather, the studio—tomorrow.

Ever since the studio got on track, Xue Yang hadn’t attended class in almost two months.

After the last television station’s report aired, Xue Yang became a prominent figure at Yancheng North University, and by extension, all of Yancheng. Because of this, his teachers were no longer surprised by his absences. As long as someone signed in for him, it was fine. As for whether he would fail the final exams, that was up to him. If he didn’t pass, they certainly wouldn’t make any exceptions for him.

"Xue Yang, I’m planning to go fishing in the pond at home tomorrow. Do you think I’ll be able to catch any fish...?"

Hearing only faint breathing from the other end, Lin Xi paused. She looked at the screen and saw that Xue Yang had fallen asleep.

He looked peaceful in his sleep. He didn’t toss and turn or snore, appearing as innocent as a child. It made her want to reach out and caress his face, to give him the best of everything. Unfortunately, she couldn’t actually touch him right now.

"Go to sleep, Xue Yang. I’ll watch over you." Lin Xi moved her head closer to the phone, right next to his image on the screen, as if they were truly leaning against each other. She then gently closed her eyes. Soon, another set of soft breaths filled the room, the two intertwining to compose a moving melody.

...

「The next day」

When Xue Yang woke up, it was already 7:00 AM. The sound of his alarm had woken him. The first thing he did was reach for his phone to turn it off. After the ringing stopped, he heard a soft murmur from the speaker. Slightly taken aback, Xue Yang looked at the screen and saw Lin Xi’s exquisitely beautiful sleeping face. It seemed the alarm had disturbed her. After a soft murmur, she turned over, presenting Xue Yang with a stunning view of her back.

Having slept all night, her nightgown had become loose. It now draped over her like a simple piece of cloth, looking as if it might slip off her shoulder at any moment. The sight made him want to pull it back up for her, yet at the same time, he didn’t want to obstruct such a breathtaking view.

Seeing such a picturesque beauty first thing in the morning made Xue Yang suck in a sharp breath.

The girl on the screen seemed to sense something and stirred slightly. This movement dislodged the phone, which, by sheer coincidence, fell right onto her pert bottom...

Xue Yang’s breathing grew heavier.

"This girl... so restless even in her sleep."

Unfortunately, he wasn’t there with her. Otherwise, he could have helped cover her with the blanket so she wouldn’t catch a chill. Yes, he just wanted to help her with the blanket. Xue Yang tried to convince himself.

After admiring the gorgeous scenery for a while longer, Xue Yang reluctantly ended the call and got up to wash up.

Half an hour later, he was finally ready. Faint dark circles were visible under his eyes, but they didn’t detract from his handsome features.

Today, he was going to Trendy Apparel. He had already made arrangements with Si Wen yesterday.

At 8:30 AM, Xue Yang arrived promptly at the headquarters of the Trendy Apparel Company.

He asked and found out that Si Wen hadn’t arrived yet. Xue Yang didn’t say much and simply got started on processing the work from the past couple of days. He had only been gone for a day, yet he was surprised to see the documents had already piled up into a small mountain.

When Xiang Qing saw Xue Yang arrive, she trotted after him. "President Xue, were you away these past two days cheering for your girlfriend during her college entrance exams?"

"Yes." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Xiang Qing’s eyes immediately lit up with gossip. Her guess was right! President Xue really did go to support the big boss for her college entrance exams! With the big boss’s grades, getting into Yancheng North University will be a piece of cake. The story of two top students in a mutual romance is just so perfect for shipping. After the big boss finishes her exams, can I become a professional shipper?

After placing the documents that needed signing on Xue Yang’s desk, Xiang Qing left with a smile.

Xue Yang sat down at his desk. While waiting for Si Wen, he started signing the documents. They were all contracts that required his approval: sales contracts, procurement contracts, and paperwork for various miscellaneous company expenses. Almost everything needed his final signature to become effective. This was precisely why the company no longer had issues with the misuse of funds like it did in the past.

Xue Yang didn’t actually scrutinize these contracts closely. The reason he had them brought to him was simply to send a message that no one should try anything funny. Of course, if he were planning to manage this company long-term, this step would be unnecessary. However, he was only helping Si Wen. Once her college entrance exams were over, he would return control to her. After she had fully adapted, she would naturally abolish this procedure herself.

At 9:00 AM, Si Wen finally arrived at the office, the clicking of her high heels announcing her entrance.

Seeing Si Wen, the staff members were first stunned, and then their jaws dropped in surprise. "Who is that...?"

Before they could react, Si Wen had already swept into the general manager’s office—the one Xue Yang was currently using. Of course, it was originally her office, but the newer employees didn’t know that. This included the new receptionist, Bai Ling. As she watched the elegantly dressed young woman, her eyes revealed a keen interest in gossip.

Although Bai Ling hadn’t been with the company for long, she knew a few things about the executive director. I heard his girlfriend is the company’s big boss. Could this be her? It had to be said that Bai Ling was a qualified receptionist. Her perception was razor-sharp, as she had instantly recognized Si Wen as the company’s true boss.

"Hello, may I ask who you’re looking for?"

Si Wen looked at the pretty young woman in front of her and smiled. "I’m looking for your President Xue."

"Please follow me." Bai Ling made a polite gesture and led her toward Xue Yang’s office.

Just as the two arrived at the office, they saw Xiang Qing walking out from inside. "Hello, Manager Xiang," Bai Ling greeted her.

Xiang Qing had been promoted from a customer service representative to Customer Service Manager and was now responsible for all of Trendy Apparel’s online business.
