“Huh?” Jiao Chen didn’t immediately comprehend Su Yue’s question.
“What was the thing he was referring to?” Su Yue blinked as she gazed at Jiao Chen. She then walked over to a desk and picked up a piggy bank in the design of a white car model.
She shook the piggy bank and it seemed filled with coins.
“Nothing.” Jiao Chen furiously shook his head. His good-looking face blushed crimson.
He averted his face to avoid meeting Su Yue’s eyes.
Su Yue murmured vaguely in response. She merely felt curious as his roommate had an evil smile on his face when he mentioned that.
She was gazing intently at the piggy bank. “This is so cool.”
Jiao Chen answered, “A student gave it.”
He glanced at her and said, “If you like it, you can have it.”
“I like it.” Su Yue nodded and continued, “Give it to me then.”
Jiao Chen smiled affectionately at Su Yue.
“Jiaojiao, your room is so clean, even cleaner than mine.” Su Yue hugged the piggy bank as she sat down on his bed.
She laid down and played with the piggy bank.
Her legs were dangling at the edge of the bed.
She seemed to be in a daze.
Jiao Chen sat at the edge of the bed with his arms folded across his chest. He was staring at Su Yue.
Both of them fell silent.
“Jiaojiao, let’s play a game.” Su Yue abruptly sat upright and she seemed excited.
Jiao Chen frowned. “What game?”
Su Yue grinned as she answered, “Card game. I haven’t played in such a long time.”
Jiao Chen was speechless.
Did she want to gamble?
He smiled and shook his head in amusement. He then raised his eyebrows and asked, “Aren’t you going back to your dormitory?”
“I can’t enter.” Su Yue pouted and collapsed on the bed once more. She placed the piggy bank down and flipped her body over. She gazed at Jiao Chen and said, “I’ll stay here tonight and sleep on your bed.”
She pulled the blanket over and covered herself.
She really acted as if she had no intention of leaving.
Jiao Chen helplessly gazed at her. “Su Yue, if you sleep here tonight, what would people think of you when they see you tomorrow?”
Su Yue peeked her head out of the blanket and threw him another question instead. “Jiaojiao, do you want to marry me?”
She gazed intently into Jiao Chen’s eyes.
She was really serious.
If Jiaojiao proposed to her, she would say yes.
“Su Yue.” Jiao Chen furrowed his eyebrows and watched the girl on his bed. Her question had caused waves to surge in his heart.
When he called Su Yue, his tone carried mixed emotions.
He suppressed his feelings and softly replied, “Sleep.”
He turned around and walked to his desk. He sat down and turned on his laptop.
Without sparing a look at Su Yue.
Su Yue laid down on the bed once more, but she kept turning to steal glances at Jiao Chen. And unconsciously, her eyes seemed to carry a hint of melancholy.
…
When Su Yue woke up the next morning, it was already 7 a.m.
Her eyes fluttered open and she blinked her eyes several times when she realized that it was an unfamiliar room. She then recalled that she was in Jiao Chen’s room.
She turned towards the bed opposite of her; Jiao Chen was asleep.
‘Will we fall in love with each other, eventually?’
She had no reason not to fall in love with Jiao Chen. He was so wonderful and great. She thought… perhaps she needed time.
