Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 348 - 346: Lin Xi is His

Si Wen was at a complete loss for words. "Everyone knows she likes Xiang Xiaolong, but Xiang Xiaolong likes me, so she takes every chance she gets to give me a hard time. God knows, I really don’t like Xiang Xiaolong. If she likes him that much, she should just go after him! If that doesn’t work, she can pester him relentlessly. Isn’t there a saying? ’A girl chasing a boy is only separated by a thin veil.’"

Xue Yang raised an eyebrow. So it isn’t just Lin Xi who has admirers, Si Wen does too. It seems only natural for her to have them. Although her looks can’t compare to Lin Xi’s, she’s still top-tier, and she has a ton of followers on Weibo. Only someone as wealthy as her could afford to ignore those followers. Otherwise, she could live a life of comfort just by leveraging that fanbase. That’s a true rich girl for you, plain and unbothered.

Speaking of Si Wen’s admirers, was it one of those two guys from outside the broadcast studio? Xue Yang had seen one of them before, and despite the darkness, the boy had left a deep impression. After all, he’s only in his second year of high school, yet he had the guts to confront me and tell me to stay away from Lin Xi. For that alone, his courage is commendable. At our age, not everyone has the bravery to pursue the person they like. Most just bury that love deep in their hearts. If they’re lucky, fate might bring them together. If not, they’ll end up regretting their lack of courage someday. However, since I’m the one he’s up against, no amount of courage is going to help him. It’s destined to be unrequited love, because Lin Xi is mine. And she can only be mine.

"If you meet someone suitable, you could try getting to know them," Xue Yang suggested. Si Wen is a pretty good person. If her date back then hadn’t been Wang Doudou, maybe things would have worked out.

"If there’s no chemistry, there’s no chemistry. If I don’t like someone, I just don’t. You can’t force it, and I don’t want to waste their time."

Xue Yang agreed with her. If everyone had Si Wen’s self-awareness, there would be far fewer poor souls suffering from unrequited love in this world.

Lin Xi asked, "Are you coming back with us?"

"I just finished my exams, so I have to go home first," Si Wen replied. "I’ll find you guys tomorrow and go look at the villa."

She hadn’t forgotten her promise to buy them a villa. The sooner she bought it, the sooner she could get her little kitten. Si Wen’s eyes curved into crescents, and it was clear she was in a great mood.

"Oh, okay."

"By the way, here’s your phone," Si Wen said. "The teacher confiscated it, and since you weren’t around, she gave it to me."

Lin Xi took the phone. Its battery had died from being on standby for so long, and it was off.

"I gave it a bit of a charge for you, so it should be able to turn on now."

"Oh, okay," Lin Xi said.

Lin Xi didn’t really want to turn it on. The moment she did, she would have to part ways with Xue Yang. After waiting so long for the exams to end, all she wanted was to go home with him.

Xue Yang smiled. "Go ahead and turn it on."

Though reluctant, Lin Xi listened to him and switched on her phone. A moment later, a flood of messages began to pour in. She would have to read them before she could finish packing.

Just as she was about to start reading them, her phone rang. The caller ID showed "Dad." It was Lin Zhenhai. Seeing his name wasn’t a surprise, but it did make her a little excited. It had been over two months since she last saw her father, and she really missed him.

She pressed the answer button. "Dad."

"Mm, finished with your exams?" Lin Zhenhai’s voice was calm, as if he were just going through the motions.

"Yes, Dad. They’re over."

"How did they go?"

"Pretty well."

"Mm."

"Dad..."

But he hung up. Hearing the disconnected tone, Lin Xi froze. She had thought he would ask her to come home. Instead, he had only called to ask how her exams went. He hadn’t said a single extra word, leaving her no time to even react.

Lin Xi felt a strange emptiness. It was as if her dad didn’t need her anymore. Before, when he pestered her daily to come home, she had only felt annoyed and desperate to escape. But now that he no longer asked about her, Lin Xi felt a hollow sense of loss.

Is this what it means to grow up?

Xue Yang sensed what Lin Xi was thinking. He gently stroked her head and said, "You haven’t been home in so long. Now that the college entrance exams are over, you should go home first. I’ll take you back later."

Lin Xi lowered her head and responded softly, "Okay."

Even though she didn’t want to leave Xue Yang, she knew she should go home. The two began to pack. Si Wen had already finished packing her things. She grabbed her backpack, said goodbye to Xue Yang and Lin Xi, and left. Her family had sent someone over to help her clear out her dorm room; once that was done, she would be leaving the school for good. As for the graduation party they had been discussing, neither of the girls would be attending.

After helping Lin Xi pack her things in the classroom, Xue Yang went with her to her dorm. This was his first time in her room. It was a single suite, and it wasn’t small—he estimated it was about a hundred square meters, fully furnished. The decor was the familiar princess style, worlds better than the apartment he had rented before. It was no exaggeration to say that even his own bedroom at home wasn’t as luxurious as this dorm.

No wonder they call it the most expensive school in Dragon Country. The treatment is on another level.

Xue Yang entered and set his backpack on the sofa. "Xiao Xi, where should we start packing?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt his little Xiao Naimao hug him from behind.

"Xue Yang, I missed you so much."

A sweet softness pressed into his back. Xue Yang stiffened for a moment before his hands came to rest on her soft, jade-like ones.

"Xiao Xi, I missed you too." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"I missed you more than you missed me."

"No, I missed you more."

"I definitely missed you more."

Xue Yang chuckled. This girl... she has to turn everything into a competition. "Alright, alright. You missed me more."

He took her pale wrists and skillfully spun her around to face him. From his vantage point, all he could see was the top of her head. Did this little Xiao Naimao shrink again?

But that wasn’t it. At nineteen, Xue Yang was still growing. All his running around over the past six months had been a form of exercise, and he had grown about three centimeters. It might not sound like much, but when you’re already tall, a few centimeters make a noticeable difference.

Lin Xi rose onto her tiptoes, tilted her head up, and pressed her glistening red lips precisely against the ones she had longed for. The familiar fragrance washed over Xue Yang, clouding his mind and robbing him of the ability to think.

"Xue Yang, hold me."

Her voice pulled him back to his senses. His arms circled her slender waist, pulling her tight until her soft chest pressed firmly against him.

"Okay."

Lin Xi could clearly feel his passion, something she had missed terribly.
