Senior Sister, Shut Up!

Chapter 115: It was Junior Brother Who Pursued Me!

“Yeah, I’m no longer single,” Su Huaizhou admitted, suppressing the sense of pride in her heart. She managed her expression carefully, trying to look calm and casual. “It happened during the National Day holiday.”

“Really?” Cao Jiayuan looked unconvinced. “Didn’t you reject several high-quality guys before?”

Qi Lianyue frowned. “Don’t bring that up again.”

“What’s wrong with my standards?” Cao Jiayuan retorted. “Of course, you don’t have to worry with a top-quality guy like Zhao Lu.”

At the mention of Zhao Lu, Qi Lianyue’s expression immediately returned to calm. Her short legs stepped on the crossbar of the cafeteria’s chair, and she didn’t want to talk to her anymore.

“Don’t argue about this,” Su Huaizhou said helplessly. “Yuanyuan, how you find a boyfriend is your business, but I don’t pay attention to those things.”

“Then what do you look for?” Cao Jiayuan wasn’t annoyed. Anyway, she had been at odds with Qi Lianyue for a long time. She continued asking Su Huaizhou, “What zodiac sign is your boyfriend? Blood type? Height? What is his family background? What do his parents do?”

“…” Su Huaizhou covered her face and held her forehead, feeling that Cao Jiayuan had completely stifled her desire to show off.

“Can’t I even ask these things?” Cao Jiayuan was puzzled.

“You just want to ask about his family background,” Qi Lianyue said coolly.

“Isn’t that the most important thing?”

“Then you might as well go on blind dates.”

“College guys are more innocent.”

“You mean easier to fool, right?”

“I also care about feelings!” Cao Jiayuan’s voice became louder. “But if you want to get married, you have to find a high-quality guy. Otherwise, you won’t be able to live comfortably in the future.”

Qi Lianyue shot her a sideways glance, her small frame exuding an imposing aura. “Do you want to debate with me?”

“No.” Cao Jiayuan quickly backed down. She knew she couldn’t win against Qi Lianyue. After all, being a vice-captain of the debate team wasn’t just for show.

[I Am Studying]: Can’t we talk about something happy?

Shen Yu silently placed her phone in the middle of the table and tapped the screen to signal the others.

The other three, already used to this, took out their phones and looked at her message.

“What’s not happy?” Cao Jiayuan asked in confusion. “Aren’t we talking about Zhouzhou’s boyfriend?”

[I Am Studying]: Yes, that’s right. In fact, Zhouzhou has been dating for a while now. She’s just pretending it started over National Day.

Qi Lianyue nodded calmly. “True.”

Cao Jiayuan: “???”

Su Huaizhou panicked. “I’m not!”

“When school first started, you and Junior Brother were already unclear in the office.” Qi Lianyue exposed her mercilessly.

“Didn’t I explain it to you?” Su Huaizhou pouted. “It was an accident!”

“Wait!” Cao Jiayuan, the least aware of the situation, interrupted and asked, “Did I hear that right? Junior brother?”

[I Am Studying]: Yes, yes, yes! A first-year! A super handsome junior brother! And he’s in the class where Zhouzhou is a class assistant!

Cao Jiayuan looked astonished. “Zhouzhou, you moved so fast. I haven’t even added a few high-quality junior brothers on WeChat yet, but you’ve already got someone?”

“I knew him online before!” Su Huaizhou explained weakly. “We’ve known each other for over three years.”

“And then you two got together as soon as school started?”

“No!” she quickly denied. “We really only got together during National Day.”

[I Am Studying]: (Picture) (Picture) (Picture)

[I Am Studying]: These are from before National Day. I dragged my hubby out on a date and asked Zhouzhou to be our wingman!

[I Am Studying]: But guess what? Zhouzhou brought Junior Brother along, and while we weren’t paying attention, she secretly held hands with him!

Su Huaizhou: “?!”

“When did you take these?”

Su Huaizhou became flustered. She grabbed Shen Yu’s sleeve and demanded answers, embarrassed and upset.

Shen Yu opened her eyes wide and blinked speechlessly. She held her phone and continued to type.

[I Am Studying]: Yueyue told me something was off between you two, so I kept an eye out~ And look, I really uncovered a little secret~

[I Am Studying]: And it wasn’t just holding hands! They were still cuddling together while watching a movie in the theater! They might have even kissed already!

“???” Su Huaizhou’s face turned crimson. “Where did you see it?! Aren’t the couple seats blocked on both sides?”

[I Am Studying]: I sneaked into the row in front of you to peek~

Cao Jiayuan looked doubtful. “So, Zhouzhou has actually been with that junior brother for a while?”

“Yes.” Qi Lianyue, for once, agreed with Cao Jiayuan’s point of view and added fuel to the fire. “A few days before National Day, Zhouzhou said she was going home. But the next day, she told me she had just woken up, and I saw her walking out of Junior Brother’s dorm with him.”

“What?” Cao Jiayuan’s eyes widened. “They’re already sleeping together!!!”

“What?!” Shen Yu exclaimed and quickly covered her mouth, her face turning bright red.

[I Am Studying]: Yueyue! Keep it down!

“Stop talking!” Su Huaizhou slapped the table, her face flushed with embarrassment, wanting to end the conversation.

She had originally wanted to show off her joy of having a boyfriend and bask in her friend’s admiration.

But now?

How did it become a criticism meeting about her hiding her relationship?!

It’s not what you guys think!

Junior Brother and I were innocent before. It was purely just a relationship to gather material. It’s not as dirty as you’re thinking!

Su Huaizhou’s face was full of shame and frustration. She really wanted to drag Junior Brother out of his dorm to testify for her.

“Speaking of which, Zhouzhou, did you stay at school during National Day?” Cao Jiayuan asked curiously.

“Y-yes…” Su Huaizhou immediately felt a bit guilty at the mention of this.

“Then why wasn’t anyone in the dorm room when I came back on the fifth? The sixth too,” Cao Jiayuan continued, puzzled.

“Uh… Isn’t my place nearby?” Su Huaizhou said. “I just went home for a couple of days.”

“Heh.” Qi Lianyue laughed. “Let me guess. After becoming official with Junior Brother, you couldn’t resist slipping into his bed again, right?”

“No!” Su Huaizhou stomped her feet anxiously.

[I Am Studying]: So you brought Junior Brother home!

At this point, Su Huaizhou was dumbstruck.

“Wait, really?!” Cao Jiayuan saw her reaction and was shocked,

“N-no, I didn’t!” Su Huaizhou hurriedly denied.

“You always stutter when you’re lying,” Qi Lianyue said calmly. “Stop trying to cover it up.”

Su Huaizhou’s cheeks instantly flushed red, and her head hit the table, wishing she could become a wooden figure and never speak again.

“So, who’s this junior brother you’re talking about?” Cao Jiayuan asked. “You’ve been talking about him for so long, but I haven’t learned much.”

[I Am Studying]: He’s a first-year in Accounting Class 2, at least 1.8 meters tall, and super handsome! I think he’s participating in the debate competition, but I’m not sure about anything else.

“Zhouzhou is also the leader of their debate team,” Qi Lianyue added calmly.

Cao Jiayuan was stunned. She touched her chin and asked softly, “Zhouzhou is both a class assistant and a team leader. You weren’t the one who pursued Junior Brother, were you?”

“No way!” Su Huaizhou immediately retorted and raised her head defiantly. “It was Junior Brother who pursued me!”

[I Am Studying]: I don’t know about anything else, but Zhouzhou was the one who took the initiative to hold Junior Brother’s hand and put it on her leg in the taxi~

Cao Jiayuan felt her worldview was about to shatter. “Isn’t that too free?”

“How am I being free?!” Su Huaizhou clenched her fists against her knees and said stubbornly with a red face, “Junior Brother was the one who pursued me! I just… just… responded a little.”

“Zhouzhou, isn’t your response too generous?” Cao Jiayuan shook her head repeatedly and pointed out, “You can’t let a man feel too satisfied. You have to learn to keep him wanting more.

“Look at me. I’ve been with my current boyfriend for two months, and I’ve only hugged him once on our date the other day.

“For deeper physical contact, you should hold back as much as possible. You can’t give in whenever he wants it, let alone be the one to initiate it. Otherwise, he won’t cherish it at all.”

Qi Lianyue, who had recently confirmed her relationship and had been pinned against a wall and kissed passionately the day after, blushed slightly. She turned her head away, muttering, “That’s all nonsense.”

[I Am Studying]: Yuanyuan, isn’t this your third boyfriend already? What about Senior Wang Er from last semester?

Cao Jiayuan blinked innocently. “He spent ages bragging about how great his parents’ jobs were, but when I visited him during the summer, I found out they were merely low-level employees. Of course, I broke up with him.”

Qi Lianyue curled her lips, not bothering to comment.

[I Am Studying]: So you’ve been with your current boyfriend for two months? That means you got together over the summer, right?

“I don’t two-time.” Cao Jiayuan rolled her eyes at her. “We were just keeping in touch.”

[I Am Studying]: So, who’s the new guy?

“He’s in our year, studying law,” Cao Jiayuan said, growing more interested as she shared. “His dad is an influential judge, and his mom works at the Education Bureau.

“He’s studying law of his own choice, so he’ll definitely follow in his dad’s footsteps. He’s got a bright future.

“And with his mom in the Education Bureau, when we have kids, dealing with their schooling will be a breeze.”

Qi Lianyue covered her face. “Okay, that’s enough. Please stop.”

“What? Are you envious of me?” Cao Jiayuan said unhappily. “Zhao Lu’s dad is—”

“I’ve had enough. I’m full.” Qi Lianyue stood up with her tray and walked towards the tray return area with a cold expression.

Su Huaizhou and Shen Yu hurriedly followed, leaving the pouting Cao Jiayuan behind before she trailed slowly after them with her tray.

…

Night, close to 10:30 p.m.

Chen Haoshang was riding his electric scooter on the road. When he passed by the entrance of Xiuye Commons, he didn’t stop but continued all the way to the entrance of the neighboring Jinde Commons.

“Haoshang, how much can you send back this month?” Ding Ning, holding him in the backseat, asked with concern.

“Around eight thousand.”

“So much?!” She was surprised. “Don’t you only get around six thousand a month for delivering food?”

“There’s also the money from gaming.”

“That League thing?”

“Mm.”

“I’m playing it.”

“Hmm?”

“Can I help you? I could play support,” Ding Ning said timidly.

“Don’t play games.” Chen Haoshang’s tone became stern. “Focus on your studies.”

“Oh…” She didn’t dare to say more, afraid he would get angry and spank her butt. “Um, I saved a thousand yuan last month. Could you send it to Auntie?”

“No need.” His tone grew even more forceful. “Don’t worry about it. My dad’s situation is a bottomless pit. That little bit won’t make a difference.”

“Oh…” Ding Ning murmured timidly, “Th-then how about using it to treat yourself to something nice? You probably haven’t kept much for yourself, have you?”

“The cafeteria food isn’t expensive. Just save the money for yourself.” Chen Haoshang stopped his scooter at the entrance of Jinde Commons and turned his head. “Get off. We’re here.”

“Thanks…” Ding Ning carefully stretched her right leg to the ground, holding onto Chen Haoshang’s shoulder for support as she slowly dismounted.

“Alright, I’m leaving.”

“W-wait!” She quickly grabbed his arm.

“What is it?”

“Y-you should take better care of yourself… You’ve been staying up until two or three every day. I’m afraid you’ll collapse,” Ding Ning said worriedly.

Chen Haoshang frowned, realizing something was off. “Who told you I stayed up so late?”

“Jiang Miao… Isn’t he your roommate?” she said softly. “He told me you played games late into the night.”

“…” He was silent for a moment before suddenly changing the topic. “Are you still reading those novels?”

“Huh?” Ding Ning froze for a moment, then her face flushed red as she waved her hands frantically. “I-I…”

“I’ve got a recommendation for you.”

Ding Ning, who had been stuttering to defend herself, was dumbfounded. “Huh?”

Chen Haoshang took out his phone, sent her a link, and then rode off on his scooter.

Standing in the cool night breeze, watching his rapidly departing figure, she quickly took out her phone to check.

[No Tears in the Wind]: (Link) I’m reading this great book called My Girlfriend Is a Content Creator. Thought you might like it.

Ding Ning: “?”

[Lemon Are So Sour]: You read these kinds of books too?

[No Tears in the Wind]: A friend wrote it. I’m just helping him promote it.

[Lemons Are So Sour]: Oh, I see~ I’ll read it when I get back!

Ding Ning walked to the dormitory with her phone in her hand, reading the novel curiously. After reading the beginning, she was instantly swept away by the sweetness of the story.

She added it to her reading list without hesitation and opened the dorm room group chat.

[Lemons Are So Sour]: (Link) I’m reading this great book called My Girlfriend Is a Content Creator. Thought you might like it.

[Lemons Are So Sour]: It’s incredibly sweet! Quick, check it out!

After Ding Ning sent this message, a happy smile broke out on her face.

Chen Haoshang’s friend was her friend. Since he was helping promote it, she felt she should do the same!

She had been troubled about feeling useless and not being able to help with anything.

But now, she finally felt she had done something small for him.

When Ding Ning thought of this, her mood brightened as she skipped back to her dorm.

…

Meanwhile, Chen Haoshang returned to his dorm. After pushing the door of his room open and walking inside, he saw Jiang Miao coming out of the shower.

Upon seeing Chen Haoshang, Jiang Miao was reminded that his book title and pen name had been exposed, and his expression immediately became awkward.

The two of them glanced at each other before quickly looking away.

One was getting ready for bed, and the other was turning on his computer, neither interfering with the other.

“Fuck!!” Xun Liang’s frustrated voice rang out from his bed. “What kind of bastard author is this? What the hell is with this cliffhanger?!

“It ends just as the birthday starts? Just as it was about to hit the climax, it stopped! And this bastard still wants monthly votes?!

“Peach Jam, go die!!!”

Jiang Miao: “…”

Chen Haoshang: “…”

The two of them exchanged glances once more, both feeling the awkwardness between them.

Can someone shut Dog’s mouth? Jiang Miao cursed in his mind. He climbed onto his bed and opened the Xidian app, contemplating whether he could track down Dog’s account and ban him for fifty years.
