Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 102 - 101 Topics Among Girls

"That’s impossible, right? You’re so gorgeous that even I, a girl, am taken with you. There’s no way Xue Yang could live with you for so long without eating you all up. Are you telling me the truth?"

Lin Xi blushed. "Hey, why would I lie to you about something like this? Nothing happened. He said I’m too young and it’s not time yet..."

Seeing Lin Xi’s meek expression, Si Wen said with frustration, "If he were really such a gentleman, he wouldn’t have kept you here for over three months instead of letting you go home."

"It was my own decision not to go back. It has nothing to do with him."

Si Wen fell silent, believing her. Sometimes, she really envied Lin Xi for having the guts to just run away from home. She stayed away for over three months, abandoning her studies, her family status—everything. So, while Si Wen had been surprised to hear Lin Xi had run away and vanished, she hadn’t been shocked. Given the kind of pressure her family put on her, Si Wen figured she probably would have been driven insane if she were in her friend’s shoes.

"Speaking of which, are you sure it isn’t that he *can’t* perform, rather than he *won’t*?" Who hasn’t read one of those domineering CEO novels where the male lead has a girlfriend as beautiful as an angel by his side day after day, yet doesn’t lay a finger on her? Unless he can’t perform!

Lin Xi’s face instantly turned crimson. "Si Wen, stop it! How could Xue Yang... how could he possibly be unable to perform!?"

Sensing there was more to the story, Si Wen narrowed her eyes and asked, "Didn’t you say nothing happened between you two? Then how would you know?"

Lin Xi was dying of embarrassment. She couldn’t possibly tell Si Wen that she... she had seen it! She had just managed to suppress that image today, and now that it was brought up, her mind was once again filled with the sight of Xue Yang’s...

Ugh, I could just die... Anyway, if *that* doesn’t count as capable, then what does?!

"Oh, so you spied on him." Si Wen had guessed it right away; she really did know Lin Xi best.

Lin Xi went quiet, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

"Actually, it’s normal for you to have those thoughts. If it were me, I’d be curious too."

"That’s what Xue Yang said to comfort me."

"So... you were spying on him, and he caught you?"

Lin Xi felt like crying. "Is there something wrong with that?"

"Nothing’s wrong with it. Did he... have any other reaction at the time?"

"I didn’t even dare to look at his face! How would I know how he reacted?"

Si Wen crossed her arms, propping her chin in thought. "In other words, this Xue Yang guy is just forcing himself to hold back."

"Si Wen, if he’d rather endure it than let me help him, does that mean he doesn’t like me that much?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"You can’t jump to that conclusion. Maybe he’s holding back precisely because he loves you and couldn’t bear to treat you that way."

By now, Si Wen’s opinion of Xue Yang was already starting to change. From a woman’s perspective—and as Lin Xi’s best friend—she had to give him some credit. Regardless of what kind of person he was, the fact that he was living with Lin Xi in what was effectively a committed relationship and still hadn’t tried to take things further was enough to earn her approval.

As for why she considered the relationship unilateral: first, they got together without telling her, Lin Xi’s best friend, or even treating her to a meal. Second, given Lin Xi’s family background, any relationship not approved by her family could only be considered them messing around; it couldn’t be taken seriously.

"Is that really it?"

"I don’t know."

"Don’t overthink it. I’ll help you test him tonight. Don’t ask how; I have my ways."

"What time does his class end?"

"Around midnight, usually. That’s his normal time."

Si Wen glanced at the time. "It’s only a little past nine. We have to wait that long? So boring."

"It’s fine. I’m used to it."

"Well, I’m not."

"You don’t have to wait."

"Oh, I’m going to. I’m absolutely waiting for him to come back today." She needed to see for herself what kind of saint this Xue Yang was to have changed her friend beyond recognition in just over three months.

Half an hour later, Si Wen finally snapped. "This is so boring, Lin Xi! Let’s play a game!"

Lin Xi, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window gazing into the distance, shook her head. "You can play by yourself. I’m not bored."

"What are you looking at over there?"

"Yanbei."

"What’s there to see at Yanbei? Are you planning to apply?"

"There isn’t much to see *of* Yanbei from here, but if I look, I might be able to see Xue Yang. And yes, I’m going to get into Yanbei."

Because... he’s there. Lin Xi silently added in her heart.

Si Wen squinted, looking down at the gray expanse below. Forget Xue Yang, they’d be lucky to make out any human figures at all from this height. "You’re insane. Do you really think your eyes are telescopes? We’re on the twentieth floor."

Lin Xi gently closed her eyes. "If you put your heart into it, you can feel each other’s presence."

Si Wen was speechless. She’s so hopelessly lovesick!

Suddenly, she remembered something. She grabbed Lin Xi’s arm and shook it. "What did you just say? You’re going to get into Yanbei?"

Lin Xi nodded. "Yep! I’m going to get into Yanbei so I can be with him every day."

Si Wen reached out and felt Lin Xi’s forehead. "You don’t have a fever."

"I’m serious, Si Wen."

"So am I."

"If you keep this up, I’m going to ignore you."

"My dear lady, I’m not trying to be mean, but have you forgotten how bad your grades are? You’ve missed a whole semester, and you still want to get into Yanbei? You might as well say you’re going to *roast* Yanbei. Honestly, that sounds more plausible."

Lin Xi’s competitive spirit was completely ignited. "Just you wait! If I say I can get into Yanbei, I absolutely will!"

"On what grounds?"

"On the grounds that Xue Yang is there."

Si Wen gave up. There was no talking to her.

In any case, Si Wen didn’t believe Lin Xi could get into Yanbei. Maybe if she had another three years, hired a private tutor, and started from scratch. But to start from scratch and try to get into Yanbei in just half a year? Pigs would fly first.

Finally, at eleven o’clock, Lin Xi put on her coat, ready to go to the North Gate and wait for Xue Yang’s class to end.

"Can’t he find his own way back? Do you really have to go wait for him?"

"You can just wait here. We’ll be back soon."

"No way. I’d be scared by myself. I’m going with you."

Lin Xi didn’t stop her, simply opening the door and walking out.

When the elevator reached the first floor, Si Wen’s bodyguard was already waiting. Seeing them, he nodded respectfully and helped Si Wen into her coat. Si Wen then waved him away, signaling that he didn’t need to follow, and walked out arm in arm with Lin Xi.

Both Lin Xi and Si Wen were stunningly beautiful. Lin Xi, in particular, despite deliberately covering her face, still drew everyone’s attention with her perfectly proportioned figure.
