Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 45: Such an Interesting Girl is Rare to Find
Their eyes met, and both of them froze.
"..."
"..."
This turn of events was something Lin Xi hadn’t anticipated, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to react. Xue Yang hadn’t expected this outcome either.
Their current position was far more suggestive than anything in her novel.
Lin Xi was on the bottom, Xue Yang on top...
From Lin Xi’s perspective, she could see Xue Yang’s well-defined abs and his handsome facial contours...
And from Xue Yang’s perspective... while he couldn’t see any bare skin... he could see a pair of beautiful, round shapes...
From an outsider’s point of view, one might assume they were playing some kind of thrilling game.
Lin Xi swallowed hard. "This seems... a little different from how it’s described in the script..." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Xue Yang pushed himself up off her and said calmly, "As they say, art is drawn from life."
He then reached out and pulled Lin Xi to her feet. "So? Did you get a feel for it?"
"I... I think so..."
If I didn’t feel anything from that, I’d have to be incredibly dense.
"Let’s do it this way. We’ll demonstrate one scene a day. Today we acted out today’s scene. Tomorrow we’ll demonstrate the scene for the day after tomorrow, so you’re always working ahead."
Lin Xi’s face was flushed red, Xue Yang’s scent still lingering in her nose, leaving her completely dazed.
"Tomorrow... the plot in the novel is for the weekend. The male lead takes the female lead out to see a movie..."
Xue Yang glanced at his phone. "It’s still early. We have enough time to go out and see a movie."
Lin Xi’s eyes instantly lit up. "Are we going to a movie? I’ll go change right now."
Xue Yang grabbed the back of her collar. "Hear me out. Given that you still have a cold, it wouldn’t be wise to go out, so a movie outing is off the table."
Lin Xi’s head drooped, her disappointment obvious.
"But even though we can’t go out to a movie, we can just find one on the computer. We can turn the room into a cinema."
Lin Xi’s mood instantly went from cloudy to sunny. "Oh, right! We can make the room a movie theater! Xue Yang, you’re a genius!"
"I’ll go make dinner. You finish today’s studying. After we eat, we’ll continue our demonstration."
"Okay."
They split the tasks, with Xue Yang heading off to cook and Lin Xi to her studies.
「Two hours later.」
Lin Xi drew the curtains, shutting out the icy, snow-covered world outside. Xue Yang dimmed the lights in the room, setting the perfect atmosphere. The computer served as the movie screen, and a phone’s flashlight, aimed at a stool, completed the effect. The whole setup resembled a simple yet luxurious private movie theater.
Plus, it was cleaner, tidier, and quieter than an actual theater.
Lin Xi looked at Xue Yang, her eyes sparkling. "It feels like we’re still missing something."
Her expression was the spitting image of a Xiao Naimao waiting to be fed.
Xue Yang gave her a helpless look and patted her head gently. "Wait for me here at home."
"Nooo, let’s go together! It’s not far. I’ll just bundle up."
Xue Yang refused flatly. "No."
Lin Xi shook his arm, her face full of pleading. "Please, please?"
"..."
「Three minutes later.」
Lin Xi looked down at herself, dressed like a penguin with only her eyes showing, and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Xue Yang, this is overkill."
"It’s not overkill at all. It’s still snowing out there. If you get sick again, I’ll be the one taking care of you."
"But we’re just going downstairs to buy popcorn and drinks."
"You still have to stay warm."
Lin Xi giggled, deciding not to argue with him anymore, and followed him out the door cheerfully. Wrapped in so many layers, she couldn’t feel the cold. Not even a gust of wind could penetrate her clothing.
"Xue Yang, look at my shadow! Doesn’t it look like a penguin?"
Lin Xi waddled from side to side, and her shadow on the ground looked exactly like a real penguin.
"Haha, this is fun."
Xue Yang tapped her lightly. "Hurry up."
Lin Xi made a face at him.
When they arrived at the convenience store, the owner did a double-take. "For a second there, I thought a real penguin had wandered into my shop."
The owner was clearly a very hearty middle-aged man.
Hearing the compliment, Lin Xi was suddenly energized. "Boss, watch me do a penguin impression!"
She repeated her waddling antics, making the convenience store owner roar with laughter. "Young man, this girlfriend of yours is a real character."
Lin Xi quickly waved her hands, trying to explain.
"Boss, no... we’re not..."
"You have one minute to pick anything you want to eat in here," Xue Yang interrupted.
Lin Xi immediately forgot her explanation and turned to Xue Yang. "You mean, for one minute, I can grab as much as I want, and you’ll pay for it all?"
Xue Yang nodded. "Yes. No matter how much you grab, I’ll buy it all."
What am I waiting for?
Lin Xi waved at the store owner. "Boss, quick, quick, give me a bag!"
The owner handed her a basket. "Little miss, a bag will be clumsy. Use this."
"Right, right, right! Thank you, boss!"
Xue Yang leaned against the counter and took out his phone to time her. "Ready... Go!"
Like an arrow, Lin Xi shot toward the snack aisle. Without even looking, she just swept snacks into her basket.
The owner cheered her on from the side. "Go, little miss, go!"
「One minute later...」
Xue Yang promptly stopped the timer. "Time’s up!"
"Yay! I filled the whole basket! Xue Yang, how amazing was I?"
Xue Yang smiled and ruffled her hair. "Very impressive."
"Amazing, amazing," the convenience store owner added, giving her a thumbs-up. He’d been running this shop for so long, and this was the first time he’d seen such a fun couple. This little miss, in particular, was a rare gem.
Only after Xue Yang had paid did Lin Xi remember.
"Ah! I forgot to get the popcorn and drinks!"
"Little miss wants popcorn, right? It’s on me. The drinks, too." The owner chuckled. "I’ve really taken a liking to you. Young man, cherish her. A fun girl like her is hard to find these days."
"Thank you, boss!"
"Thank you, boss!"
With her head slightly lowered, Lin Xi clutched a large tub of popcorn to her chest like a little hamster guarding its food. Right then, this Xiao Naimao had eyes only for the food.
Xue Yang tapped her on the head. "Let’s go."
Back home, Lin Xi eagerly laid out all her snacks on the table, arranging them as if she were taking stock of her spoils of war. Somehow, snacks won with my own speed just seem more satisfying.
Xue Yang turned on the computer to find a movie.
"What do you want to watch?"
"One bag, two bags, three bags, four bags, five bags... a romance movie..."
"!!!"
