“……”
She had never met anyone so… capable!
“Can… can we not change the location?”
“Like… to our own beds?”
The three shook their heads in unison, “No!”
“……”
“Then what do you want to know? Just ask directly.”
Shen Yan had already started to settle in.
Since things had come to this, might as well lie flat and be comfortable!
As for Qiu Xi and the other two, upon hearing Shen Yan’s words, they exchanged glances, their eyes twinkling with amusement.
They couldn't be blamed for this!
It was the "little lamb" who had walked right into their trap!
After a few seconds of silence, Song Daiyao spoke first.
“Yan Yan, were you just out on a date with your boyfriend?”
Hearing "boyfriend," Shen Yan's face immediately flushed, and she quickly shook her head, “No!”
“Oh?”
Song Daiyao didn't believe her. In the dim, yellowish light, she leaned closer and saw it at a glance, “Then why are you blushing?”
“I… I’m feeling hot because you’re all surrounding me!”
“……”
Although it was a hot summer day, the dormitory’s air conditioning was always on.
To avoid the cold, they were all holding blankets while sitting here.
So, this excuse was truly quite… a clumsy attempt to cover up!
Especially the tone, which was like saying “there are no three hundred taels of silver hidden here,” no one would believe it.
“Yan Yan~”
“Tell us the truth, aren’t you?”
While they were talking, Song Daiyao had already reached out.
Sensing her intention, Shen Yan immediately reached out to block her, saying urgently, “It really wasn’t!”
“I swear!”
With that sentence, she was almost ready to prostrate herself and swear sincerely in front of the three of them.
“???”
Hearing that, it didn't sound like a lie.
Song Daiyao paused and withdrew her hand.
Qiu Xi and Liang Yunfei also stared at Shen Yan’s expression for a long time.
Although her face was quite red, coupled with her eyes, it didn’t seem like the blush of being caught.
However… it was close enough.
“Then it’s your secret crush!”
“!!!”
As expected of Song Daiyao!
She was shockingly outspoken!
Not only did she stun the “interrogated party,” but she also stunned her teammates!
However, Qiu Xi didn't miss the fleeting surprise in Shen Yan’s eyes because of this.
It was as if someone had exposed her hidden thoughts, and then she quickly froze, trying to cover it up.
“Yan Yan, Daiyao is right, isn’t she!”
Although it sounded like a question, Qiu Xi’s tone was very certain.
“……”
Shen Yan hadn’t expected to be completely exposed so early in the game.
With what eyes were her roommates looking to be so accurate!
Her thoughts raced, and looking at the three pairs of bright, shining eyes, Shen Yan realized she couldn’t keep up the pretense anymore.
“Mhm…”
After struggling for a while, she silently nodded.
“???”
Song Daiyao hadn’t expected her casual remark to be true.
“!!!”
After the surprise, the three continued.
“Who is that person?”
One sentence was enough to reveal everything.
And Shen Yan's courage, which had just been about to pour everything out, was completely drained after they were silent for a while.
Lowering her head, she looked like a little quail, “Th-this… you guys know him too…”
“???”
How did this melon-eating get more and more engrossing?
This person was someone they knew!
Instantly, three different heads clicked onto the same channel.
They all knew him…
Besides those in their class, there were a few from their department, and then there were the few from Nan Hua and Zhao Hua Sheng’s dormitories…
To be honest, they could count them on two hands.
“……”
Thinking about it, the three of them gained nothing.
Because the few people they thought of were either already taken or Shen Yan had never interacted with them before.
“Forget it, I won’t guess anymore!”
“Yan Yan, hurry up and tell us, who is the male charmer?!”
Song Daiyao couldn’t figure it out, and her curiosity was killing her, so she just asked directly.
Shen Yan heard this and retorted softly, “He’s not a charmer, he’s a scholar…”
“……”
“Is this the time to be arguing about that?!”
It wasn’t a story about a scholar and a lady!
They just wanted to know who the man was!!!
“Hurry up and say it!”
“Oh…”
“……”
This was driving them crazy!
With Song Daiyao’s temper, she wished she could crawl into Shen Yan’s little brain and see who it was!
Although Qiu Xi and Liang Yunfei didn’t speak, their increasingly restless hands said it all.
“It’s… it’s Senior Ding.”
“……”
“!!!”
With one sentence, the air seemed to stop flowing.
It was so quiet that one could hear their soft breathing.
Shen Yan was the only one whose mind was still working.
No choice!
With things said like this, she had to prepare to slip away!
And just as Shen Yan began to prepare to sneak away, she had just moved her butt backward, and before she could even get out, the three of them pinned her down.
“Yan Yan~”
“After all this, where do you think you’re slipping off to?”
“No!”
Shen Yan was forced to look up, “You’re mistaken, I was just… going to the restroom!”
“Then go ahead, the three of us will wait.”
Releasing her, the three of them even gave her a little push.
Shen Yan, relieved, looked at the three people who had silently shifted their positions, a dark line appearing on her forehead.
The way they were blocking her way, she’d be an idiot not to see it.
She glared at them, but still chose to go to the restroom.
Whether they felt anything or not was secondary; being able to wash her face and cool down was already great.
Of course, it only took about two or three minutes, and she was back.
“You’re back, come sit down quickly~”
Song Daiyao continued to smile and beckon her to sit down.
And Shen Yan, looking at Song Daiyao still holding that notebook, was speechless.
The spread-out notebook was being waved around in her hand.
To be honest!
It was very much like an old mother in a TV show, calling out to someone.
Come on~
Come in and sit down~
“Speak!”
“When did it start? Does Senior know?”
“What exactly did you guys do tonight?”
“……”
With a series of questions, Shen Yan’s head lowered a little with each one she heard.
She finally understood now!
How her three roommates felt when they were “interrogated”!
Indeed!
What goes around comes around; it would eventually turn to you.
Now it was finally her turn.
After another moment of quiet reflection, Shen Yan, sure that the three of them had no more questions, slowly opened her mouth.
“It was during the holiday. After you guys left, it was just me, Xiao Xuehua, and Senior staying at home.”
“Xiao Xuehua had a lot to write every day, and Senior would go out to wander whenever he had nothing to do, so over time, I…”
Shen Yan trailed off here, feeling like she had said enough. She couldn’t utter the emotional part that followed.
With the people involved not present, the feeling of confessing from afar was truly a bit shy.
Even though they were all sisters, she was thin-skinned…
Well… at least in matters like this, she was.
“So you two got together!”
“No, that’s not right!”
“It’s you being infatuated!”
“Wanting to get together with Senior!”
“!!!”
With one sentence, one person blushed completely with a "whoosh"!
And the other two froze, their eyes filled with surprise!
This girl was something else!
Her summary was sharp!
It was just that her words were a bit too bold…
If they weren’t all sisters, someone would have already thrown a punch!
