My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 515 - 010: Almost becoming a Ninja Turtle_3

"No way! Ming Haize is just like that, he’s naturally a slow-burn type. Where’s that passion you had when you first wanted to win him over? It’s only been a week, and you’re already thinking of giving up!" Lin Xuwan held back her laughter and began to comfort her.

He Qianyue immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, slumping over the table, weakly shaking her head: "Sigh, I know he’s a slow-burn type, but honestly, liking him wasn’t just an impulse. I noticed him last semester. It’s not love at first sight, but every time I see him, there’s something different that I feel. I want to pursue him, but it feels like my courage is running on empty."

"Take it slow, you can’t rush these things, especially when the other person is a slow-burner. Let’s go watch the basketball game tomorrow; Ling Xuyang and Nan Jiayan are both his friends, so he’ll definitely be there. So don’t get disheartened, keep trying. If... and I’m just saying if! If he really doesn’t like you, then we’ll give up. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and why hang yourself on his tree? You’re beautiful, why worry about not having a boyfriend?" Lu Shishu patted her shoulder, gently comforting her.

"Yeah, Shi Shu’s right, take it slow, don’t rush." Cen Jin responded warmly, giving her a firm look.

He Qianyue looked up at their expressions, sat up straight, and took a deep breath: "Alright, then I’ll give it another shot. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll give up. If he truly likes me, he’ll make the move."

"Of course."

The four of them chatted until around half-past nine, then He Qianyue and Lin Xuwan got up to say goodbye and return to their dorms. Lu Shishu also grabbed some clothes to take a shower.

After Lu Shishu finished her shower and came out, she was drying her hair and said, "Cen Jin, I’m done. You can go shower now!"

"Okay." Cen Jin got up to grab her pajamas, turned around, and said, "Oh, Shi Shu, your phone rang just now. It was a WeChat call from Nan Jiayan. I saw the caller ID and thought about answering for you but then thought it might not be appropriate, so I didn’t. He called twice, so you might want to call him back!"

"Nan Jiayan?" Lu Shishu was slightly taken aback, paused, and looked at Cen Jin.

Cen Jin nodded: "Yeah, take a look yourself! I’m going to shower first."

"Alright."

Lu Shishu walked to her desk, picked up her phone, and sure enough, there was a missed WeChat call and a missed WeChat video. Opening WeChat, she saw several messages from Nan Jiayan: ’Are you busy?’, ’Could you reply when you see this?’, ’Don’t deliberately ignore me. We have a dinner date tomorrow, don’t forget.’, ’Miss Lu, could you at least acknowledge me? Otherwise, it’s really awkward for me!’, ’It’s been twelve minutes since waiting for your return call or message.’, ’Seventeen minutes now.’

Reading these messages, images of Nan Jiayan’s various expressions and mannerisms as he said these words suddenly filled Lu Shishu’s mind, and she couldn’t help but laugh. She cleared her throat on purpose and sent a voice message back: "I just went to take a shower, can’t you not make it seem like I’ve disappeared off the face of the earth?"

Almost as soon as she sent this message, a video call from Nan Jiayan came in. Lu Shishu hesitated for a few seconds before answering, walking over to the balcony. Seeing the handsome face appear on the screen, Lu Shishu lightly pressed her lips together and asked nonchalantly, "What’s up? Something you need me for?"

On the screen, Nan Jiayan noticed her wearing pajamas with wet hair, and he couldn’t help but smile: "I thought you were deliberately ignoring my messages!"

"Am I that kind of person? If I didn’t want to talk to you, I would have deleted you or blocked you."

"Then I should count my lucky stars that you were merciful enough not to delete or block me. Suddenly, I feel very fortunate."
