Chapter Nine, What Exactly is the Ideal Type of Object?

Ren Yue was so focused on playing the game that he didn't even lift his eyes: "If I remember correctly, it was you who approached me first to strike up a conversation?"

Tong Yao turned her head to look at him in this manner, and did not urge him to leave; she simply changed her steps and walked in another direction

He was already in the wrong, and if he were to be knocked down again, he might as well not stay in school... Xiao Shenzhe pointed at Tong Yao, struggling to utter a word for a long time, his face changing from red to white and then to green, and he angrily threw out a remark, "You wait and see," before leaving... However, making threats is precisely a common tactic of the weak...

Under normal circumstances, in about half an hour, that card will be delivered to Tong Yao along with the flowers

Fortunately, everything can still be remedied

After Tong Yao hung up the phone, Xu Qing asked nervously, "Yao Yao, are you still angry? I talked a lot about your interests and hobbies with that 'scumbag'. When Xiao Shenzhe appeared, I felt something was off but didn't think much of it at the time. I just recalled that the 'scumbag' had mentioned a very handsome friend who plays basketball..."

Thus, Tong Yao effortlessly lifted his clothes and turned him around, saying in a tone reminiscent of coaxing a child: "Don't forget to drink water and take your medicine when you get back"

Ren Yue pondered for a while and said: "If you are capable, then go ahead and do it. Don't let others undermine you, only to find yourself sitting in a corner crying later. I heard that person is Tong Yao's 'ideal type'..."

Tong Yao dressed as inconspicuously as possible, wearing a hat that could cover her face, and stood not far from him

Ren Yue was taken aback, as if struck at a vital point, almost jumping up: "You are talking nonsense! What I clearly dreamed about last night was playing a game, it couldn't possibly be Jiao Jiao!"

If one were to hold a mango in hand and then change the lines, it would be perfect

Walking along a quiet path, I encountered a boy who suddenly jumped down from a tree ahead, holding a mango in his hand, and asked, "Do you want it?" This romantic scene is an obsession in Tong Yao's heart, having been seen countless times in "First Love: This Little Thing"

The two individuals read aloud word by word with remarkable harmony

"You don't need to record, and I won't deny it. You have indeed demonstrated your value very accurately this time; please continue to maintain it." Qin Zhan smiled at him

Tong Yao retorted, "What is a spare tire? Can it be eaten?"

But so what? Tong Yao asked with a smile, "Let's give him a taste of his own medicine and see what he intends to do."

Xiao Shenzhe remains unaware, taking pleasure in it without fatigue, even boasting to Zeng Yijie about his progress: the goddess has smiled at me multiple times, accepted my offerings, and I feel the distance is gradually closing.

She took Xu Jiao Jiao and Xu Qing with her, reminding both of them to pay attention to their surroundings

It's a bit strange..." Xu Jiaojiao murmured

Ren Yue mentioned that there was something important, and she thought it was something else... At present, it seems that he was entrusted by Qin Zhan to convey a message to Tong Yao. Xu Jiao Jiao then thought of herself, and her expression darkened.

Xiao Shenzhe suddenly realized this

The female singer, who was supposed to take her final bow, followed her gaze and, without paying attention, slipped and was about to fall off the stage.

Unexpectedly, on the following day, the flowers arrived as scheduled. The card replied: "Not at all, it is the language of flowers." The handwriting appeared quite childish, as if afraid of revealing the writer's identity, deliberately written with the left hand.

As a member of the university youth association, which is a co-organizer, I must certainly see it through to the end. Xiao Shenzhe shook his head and smiled, saying, "Last time I almost hit you, and this time you stepped on my foot; we are even now. Back and forth, all is predetermined by fate, and it is not without its own kind of connection."

Xu Jiao Jiao shook her finger and said: "No, if I were to speak, it would be even more embarrassing. The love letter I wrote is being read out loud by the goddess like this, and is being circulated wildly. Those who don't know would think the goddess is rejecting me in such an arrogant manner."

Xiao Shenzhe turned his head and said somewhat gloomily, "Just in time for you to arrive, Qin Zhan." Having been teased and humiliated by Tong Yao, he was already seething with anger, and now, upon encountering something related, he found it hard to contain himself.

She does not know much about her idol, but it seems rather odd that he does good deeds without seeking recognition or wanting to meet anyone

If it weren't for the leaves brought down by the basketball on her shoulder, Tong Yao would have thought she was having a romantic dream

Previously, she intended to take the opportunity to make things difficult for him, but now seeing him suffer, she does not seem as happy as she had imagined. She shook her head and re-entered the library with her card.

Qin Zhan wanted to distinguish himself, and even more so, he desired a confession and response, yet he stood there motionless.

On the first day Tong Yao received the bellflower, she was somewhat startled—this was the first time in so many years that she had received flowers

Immediately afterwards, he turned to another page, which depicted two individuals, indistinguishable in gender, undergoing genetic testing: "The scientific theory is accurate, but the complexity of humanity far exceeds the calculations of data"

After returning to the dormitory, she excitedly said, "One should still have dreams; what if one encounters a ghost?"

Tong Yao repeatedly apologized: "I am sorry, I am sorry..."

Qin Zhan grabbed his phone with one hand and carefully examined the comments on it: advocates the use of force, prefers to solve problems with violence, often due to having been subjected to violence or lacking a sense of security. He is generous and righteous, warm-hearted... comes from a wealthy family, and has grown up in a warm and harmonious environment

When the two stopped, Qin Zhan was panting heavily, while Tong Yao calmed down after taking two deep breaths

"Could it be Xiao Shenzhe?" Xu Qing asked

The stage lights are bright, making the light below appear even dimmer

Oh, if I win this level, I can complete a questionnaire to determine my 'ideal type' based on personal information and experiences. I tried it using your information, and it was quite accurate, the 'Barbie' type. I was curious, so I just casually tried it with hers again...

The problem left by Tong Yao is likely to be resolved. But what about that brash young man who appeared out of nowhere? Fighting is clearly not an option—Qin Zhan has yet to realize that he has already adopted Tong's way of thinking.

What qualifications does someone who has pursued another person for nearly four months without success have to say they like them

At that moment, the phone beeped, and Ren Yuefa sent a WeChat message: "Guess who I saw?" Immediately after, a picture was sent over, featuring Zeng Yijie and Xiao Shenzhe.

Ren Yue stepped forward and embraced her, patting her back, saying: "It was all my fault in the past, and I will never let you cry for me again in the future"

... ...

Qin Zhan stuffed the card and the flower into Tong Yao's hand, using sign language to gesture: "It is a sincere heart, a heart that truly loves."

This move is indeed rather ruthless

Qin Zhan shook his head, took out a card, on which was a question: "What exactly is an ideal type?"

The confession came too suddenly

The performance is about to begin

The next day, the other party sent another card, but this time the mysterious person was absent from the illustration. Instead, three positions were drawn for the girl with the braids, perfectly fitting the three members of Tong Yao's group, neither more nor less

Xiao Shenzhe nodded thoughtfully and hung up the phone

Seeing Tong Yao smile without speaking, he took a step back and said, "Well then, at least do not refuse my flowers"

Ren Yuezhang let out a long sigh and said: "I finally understand what it means to be shameless, invincible in the world. For the sake of love, you truly have no regard for your own dignity."

Tong Yao guessed most of it and said: "If your physical strength is weak, then so be it. Relying on your youth to stay up late and not taking your health seriously will eventually lead to problems, my classmate. This job as a courier is not suitable for you; you should go back and rest."

Ideal type: a sunny and handsome athletic man who can help her, provide her with a sense of security, and create a feeling of dependence in her

Xu Qing suddenly realized, nodding repeatedly, and immediately changed her words: "Since Yao Yao said so, we can rest assured."

Xu Qing first smiled, then said with some confusion: "It's already halfway through the third year, yet Yao Yao encounters her 'ideal type' at this moment, and it's a completely harmonious meeting. It just feels... a bit too coincidental."

Speak in plain language

Elegance ... . ... Once these words were spoken, all three had a judgment at that moment

"It's so dreamy?" Tong Yao asked, seeing Xu Qing shake her head firmly, she continued, "Come to think of it, he is simply like someone who walked out of my dreams, every move he makes perfectly aligns with my preferences"

The next image is titled "Red Face, White Bones," with the caption: "Is it still the case that ordinary people cannot escape the constraints of appearance and figure"

Tong Yao smiled slightly and said, "There is no need to rush; our fundamental issue has yet to be resolved."

Xu Jiao Jiao expressed her happiness, saying: "I have started to believe in love again"

Xu Qing wore a skeptical expression: "I still think he is somewhat unreliable, after all, everything is just too ... ... "

Tong Yao was afraid of falling into his arms, so she tilted her body and accidentally stepped on the top of his foot, stumbling for two steps before finally regaining her balance

Tong Yao shook her head with a hint of regret: "I am fine"

He was momentarily dejected, but soon became spirited again: "I will give you a satisfactory response shortly." He then left, limping.

As he opened the door, he hurriedly limped towards his destination, swiftly opened his backpack, and reserved a seat with his books, demonstrating a skilled technique that was both fast and precise. After completing these tasks, he took out the card that Tong Yao was very familiar with, marked the location on it, and limped out the door again

Ren Yue felt a shiver run down his spine and helplessly uttered a soft "mm".

Xu Qing expressed her confusion: "Now that Jiao Jiao has mentioned it, I also feel there is a problem"

"What are you suspecting me of?" Ren Yue glared at Qin Zhan with an angry expression, her neck stiffened.

Tong Yao smiled and said: "Well, the bellflower, eternal love, unforgettable love, hopeless love, no regrets. Which one is it?"

Is it possible that... Yaoyao wants him to be free labor? Xu Jiaojiao asked

This is to inquire about military intelligence

Tong Yao felt a sudden jolt in her heart. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that there were no signs of injury on his face, and he walked perfectly normally. The anxiety that had been hanging in the air dissipated. When she spoke, there was a hint of detachment in her tone: "Talking is prohibited in the library." After saying this, she lowered her head to read, clean and decisive, leaving no opportunity for Xiao Shenzhe to respond.

"Do you really believe it?" Zeng Yijie scoffed, "This situation seems somewhat reminiscent of what a certain motivational figure once encountered"

"Yaoyao, I see that Qin Zhan is quite thoughtful, specifically asking me to inform you about Xiao Shenzhe's matter," Xu Jiaojiao casually brought up the topic.

Xu Jiao Jiao let out a sound of "Oh," still indicating her confusion

Ren Yue wished he could slap himself twice to console the intelligence of his subordinates

Very much in the style of Tong Yao

Xu Jiao Jiao immediately denied: "I guess not"

Oh..." Qin Zhan elongated his tone, articulating each word distinctly, "Who said it was Jiao Jiao?"

Qin Zhanxue said with a playful smile, "I'll send you off."

Xu Jiao Jiao quickly glanced at Tong Yao and whispered, "Is that the person? How badly are they hurt?"

The sky was clear and vast, when suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck Qin Zhan's heart: isn't it supposed to be about resolving doubts, confessing feelings, and then being together? Isn't Ren Yue and Xu Jiao Jiao's relationship just following that pattern? Why does his girlfriend choose an unconventional path?

Tong Yao looked at him as he unconsciously tapped his toes on the ground, realizing that he was nervous. She felt a moment of amusement but forced herself to suppress it, adopting a cold demeanor: "I know the flowers were sent by you, there is no need to send them again, it holds no significance. You don't need to reserve a seat for me, I can take care of that myself." Moreover, she would never make herself look so awkward, would she? Considering that the last sentence was too hurtful, she ultimately refrained from saying it.

It turns out that the motive had long been guessed; have I been played for a fool these days? Xiao Shenzhe, in a fit of anger, pointed at Tong Yao and said: "You ... ... "

Qin Zhan sent photos of Zeng and Xiao to Tong Yao. While editing the text content, Tong Yao replied: So what?

Ren Yue chuckled and dashed out of the dormitory, leaving Qin Zhan staring blankly at the closed dormitory door

Thinking of Qin Zhan, Tong Yao let out a soft sigh again

Tong Yao pressed her lips together, about to speak, when someone patted her shoulder. She turned around and saw Xiao Shenzhe, who was smiling brightly.

Qin Zhan looked at the photo and, within just a second, understood the cause and effect. He hurriedly replied: Stop them. The location has been sent!

In a moment of urgency, Qin Zhan blurted out without any preamble or conclusion: "It is not because of the 'ideal type', but because you are you, and I simply like you."

Ren Yue, who is focused on the game, said unwillingly: "I have given you so many ideas, yet I have never seen you sincerely thank me."

Indeed, how could he possibly not speak to Yaoyao about such matters in person? Xu Qing added.

Ren Yue tried many times and finally spoke up: "Xu Jiao Jiao, I think I like you." As soon as the words left his mouth, it seemed as if he had finally laid down a heavy burden, a burden filled with his self-proclaimed "ideal girlfriend" and the countless days and nights he had tossed and turned after meeting Xu Jiao Jiao.

She added a few people to the card, with their hair in little braids, and replied: Not enough seats

Tong Yao felt a stir in her heart, quickened her pace, and caught up with him: "Qin Zhan."

He has always wondered what makes her so unique: they talk about everything and anything, with endless topics to discuss; he would refuse Qin Zhan, someone he has never turned down, because of her; he would be restless and uneasy if she ignored him... Yet, simply because she does not fit his "ideal type," he denies his own feelings, stifling this possibility in its infancy, and confines himself within self-imposed limitations.

"Zeng Yijie, it seems you have reviewed well. Do you have the leisure to stroll around?" Ren Yue inquired.

Xiao Shenzhe shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave

Xiao Shenzhe waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, go back and host the program quickly"

The elevator lobby is just ahead, and Qin Zhan wants to run in quickly, but Tong Yao catches up to him in a few steps: "Didn’t I tell you to... uh..."

Qin Zhan has adhesive bandages on his forehead, the corners of his mouth, and his nose, making him look particularly comical—this is also why he does not want to meet Tong Yao here

"The Joke of the Year." Tong Yao slowly smiled and said, "Would you consider someone with ill intentions and ulterior motives as a friend from the very beginning?"

As she walked, her long hair fluttered, occasionally revealing her excessively beautiful features.

Xu Jiao Jiao and Ren Yue are together, and the girls in the dormitory bought a large amount of delicious food to celebrate

In the past, Tong Yao was filled with doubts and was determined to get to the bottom of things. She would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement. Now, with her agile mindset, she surprisingly exudes a certain charm that suggests a depth of thought and calculation.

What is that? Can it be eaten? Qin Zhan pretended to be confused.

Upon seeing the main character take the stage, Ren Yue gestured to Xu Jiao Jiao: "Come with me, I have something to discuss with you"

Due to the ample heating in the dormitory, along with the careful nurturing from a few of them, every bouquet of bellflower is now blooming brilliantly and beautifully. The exquisite shape of the flowers and their vibrant colors captivate one completely

Xu Qing gasped in surprise and murmured softly, "Yao Yao is indeed very different from before"

Tong Yao stepped out and, surprised, said: "Qin Zhan, what are you trying to do with this appearance?"

The strategist Ren occasionally proposed several plans, but they were all rejected one by one by Qin Zhan. After that, Ren no longer paid attention and immersed himself in the newly released dating game "My Ideal Girlfriend 5"

Looking into Xu Jiaojiao's eyes, he took a few deep breaths before returning to a normal tone: "Boys, after all, care about their image, have a strong competitive spirit, and want to compare everything. During the development of secondary sexual characteristics, in order to appear more mature, I publicly declared and internally suggested to myself what my 'ideal type' was like."

After she left, a boy emerged from the shadows, and it was precisely Xiao Shenzhe.

Faced with the teasing gazes of Xu Jiao Jiao and Xu Qing, Tong Yao let out a long sigh and said, "Xiao Shen Zhe, I will remember you."

This statement is hard to believe, even for Xu Jiaojiao: "Yaoyao, you are so beautiful, and your grades are excellent. You should have been the center of attention from a young age. How is it possible that no boys have pursued you and no one has sent you flowers?"

Xiao Shenzhe sat in the front row, waving a glow stick back and forth like everyone else. However, his tall and robust stature made him particularly conspicuous. When Tong Yao glanced over, she happened to catch his gaze fixed intently on her.

Having attained enlightenment, Ren Yue clasped his hands together and respectfully bowed to Qin Zhan, saying: "Thank you, Master"

Zeng Yijie trembled his hand and did not dare to turn back

It is akin to when Zeng Yijie spread rumors on the BBS; if it were her handling the situation, she would have certainly called the person out and given them a beating until they admitted their mistake. In contrast, Qin Zhan remained composed and allowed the person to face disciplinary action, demonstrating a superior strategic move.

To mask her embarrassment, Tong Yao shook the bellflower in her hand and asked, "So what is the situation with this bouquet?"

Tong Yao shook her head: "I fear you just happened to run into it"

Do you want to meet? Xu Jiaojiao and Xu Qing were somewhat worried

Then you ... ... '' Xu Jiaojiao joked, but seeing Tong Yao become serious, she felt a bit more nervous in her heart

In recent days, Tong Yao has become addicted to bantering with the mysterious flower sender, to the point where even Xiao Shenzhe is too lazy to respond. This time, presenting such a dilemma is purely a prank mentality

Xiao Shenzhe rushed up to help, just in time to block the way

Because she had once caused him harm, Tong Yao could not be too cold and had to accept his kindness one by one

"On what basis?" Xu Qing was very puzzled

Ren Yue was in a daze, realizing that it was not others who were speaking nonsense, but rather that he had already developed feelings for Xu Jiao Jiao

From then on, it seemed as if some marvelous switch had been turned on, and Xiao Shenzhe would always coincidentally "bump into" Tong Yao at just the right moment. ... From her unwavering morning runs to the martial arts association activities held 2 to 3 times a week, and then to the occasional leisurely strolls in the woods ... . ... The two would always encounter each other by chance. And Xiao Shenzhe would either bring fruits or a magazine, which would undoubtedly be Tong Yao's favorites.

"Hi, haven't you been with Qin Zhan for a long time!" Xu Jiao Jiao silently mouthed to Xu Qing.

Xu Jiao Jiao expressed her understanding, gently patting Tong Yao's hand, and said: "Qin Zhan might be a bit weak, but his feelings should be genuine"

A clever idea occurred to Tong Yao.

Tong Yao sighed, "I do not understand. A young and beautiful woman like me actually has no reliable suitors, no flowers; it is unscientific."

This time, he saw his true heart

They were relieved, but Qin Zhan, upon learning this, was so anxious that he was jumping up and down

Her heart skipped a beat as she turned around and looked at him with confusion

In the end, Tong Yao comforted everyone by saying: "Unfortunately, I encountered it once, fulfilling my long-held fantasy, and that alone is worth it."

However, she did not expect that the two would meet again so soon

The fourth one is a capitalized "ERROR," with the words beside it: "So what is it?"

Not long after, Xu Qing, who had gone out to take a phone call, returned and, after much hesitation, whispered: "I just heard someone chatting, saying that there was a fight over seat reservation this morning. A burly boy got into a scuffle with a handsome boy, but the handsome boy was clearly no match for the burly one and suffered quite a bit."

Xu Qing shook her head and said: "All I hear is descriptions of how super handsome that boy is, not a word about his injuries. But it shouldn't be serious, right?"

This time, Tong Yao did not insist any longer, as it was indeed quite rare to secure a seat at this moment, and she did not want to easily waste this opportunity

It is a pity that the person who should understand the most does not understand, being solely focused on finding the 'ideal type'. What if another 'ideal type' appears tomorrow? Tong Yao lamented

Xu Jiao Jiao thought for a moment and ultimately decided to lend a hand to her idol: resolving the fundamental conflict is the primary task

Xiao Shenzhe instinctively let out a cry of pain

Xu Jiao Jiao covered her face

Xiao Shenzhe soon discovered that the proud goddess had suddenly become much more at ease, accepting his reserving of seats, his initiative in carrying her bag, the thermos of hot water he had prepared, and various snacks.

If the rival in love were to know that the goddess was originally with you, wouldn't those bees and butterflies just withdraw on their own

No problem

Love arises from an unknown source, yet it runs deep and unwavering

What qualifications does someone who cannot even distinguish love have to speak about me

In order to alleviate the worries of Xiao Shenzhe, who has been troubled for an unknown amount of time, Qin Zhan, after a strenuous argument and gathering evidence, suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion

Xu Jiao Jiao wore a mysterious expression: "Based on my woman's sixth sense, a man like Xiao Shen Zhe does not seem like the type to engage in such refined activities"

Tong Yao once thought that it was an unattainable fantasy

The student council held a graduate student evening party, where Tong Yao was invited to be the host, while Xiao Shenzhe sat in the front row to watch

"If it weren't for my excessive curiosity, I wouldn't have compared it carefully and naturally wouldn't have known," Xu Jiaojiao said

I never expected that Yao is such a naive little girl

Before the incident, Qin Zhan realized something was amiss: "Wait a minute, how do you know what her 'ideal type' is? Even I only know a little about it."

Those who are unaware of the truth are looking this way, while in the distance, staff members are hurrying over

"It's fine if there are no flowers, but there are no suitors either..." Xu Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "Do you remember not long after the start of our freshman year, the sonnet that was tucked inside the homework you collected? It was the one you read aloud in class, looking for its owner."

The question was profoundly Zen-like, yet Ren Yue understood it. Not only did he comprehend it, but it also felt as if he had received a sudden enlightenment.

He directly pulled it to the back to see the conclusion

Well, I just realized that sometimes using one's intellect to manage people can be more effective than simply taking action, " Tong Yao concluded.

No!" Ren hurriedly interrupted her

Qin Zhand suddenly felt as if struck by five thunders, and his face instantly burned with embarrassment

"I'm sorry, aren't you really going to take a look?" Tong Yao asked proactively

Even Tong Yao looked at her with curiosity

"Is it still possible for you to do that?" Qin Zhan said with a cold smile

"It really is true that I've spent too much time with the goddesses..." Ren Yue shook his head and tapped his forehead, saying, "Since there is a rival in love, what is there to hesitate about? Of course, it's about winning back the goddess's heart! However, you... still do not understand why the goddess is conflicted, so it is naturally not suitable for you to take the field yourself"

Then you all... not only Xu Jiaojiao, but even Xu Qing has taken it to heart

Tong Yao shook her head firmly: "Thank you, but I don't need it. Let's leave it at that, you go ahead and get busy."

Oh, your ex-girlfriends could form a reinforced squad, the number of relationships is quite considerable, but which of your relationships lasted more than three months? It is hard not to raise suspicions about you...

Xu Jiao Jiao looked at her and for a moment felt that the male god was somewhat pitiable

Xiao Shenzhe had originally arranged to meet Zeng Yijie to vent his frustrations, but unexpectedly, just as he was speaking passionately, he was caught off guard by Ren Yue and Xu Jiaojiao, who had strolled over.

Xu Jiao Jiao felt inexplicably awkward, so she had no choice but to pretend to focus on Qin Zhan's side—actually, she could not hear what the three were talking about at all, only seeing Qin Zhan talking non-stop, occasionally interrupted by Zeng Yi Jie and Xiao Shen Zhe who interjected a few words.

Just then, a girl walked out and upon seeing a boy standing at the door, she immediately let out a scream

Right next to her, Tong Yao was quick-witted and reached out to pull.

Ah? So it was actually written for me?" Tong Yao said in surprise

Xiao Shenzhe did not say anything more and turned to leave

"Since you saw it, why didn't you tell Yao Yao at that time? It was quite awkward," Xu Qing said

When chatting with the goddess, the other party will also respond with a smile, yet that smile carries no trace of affection; upon closer inspection, one can discern a hint of disdain and indifference.

"Strategist, your moment to shine has arrived. Now, tell me what to do next?" Qin Zhan asked

Ren Yue looked at his phone in surprise, and saw on the new page: The true "ideal type" is not merely limited to external appearances, but lies in genuine sincerity

"It's alright, just be more careful next time," Tong Yao said, her heart inevitably racing a few beats—an encounter with her "ideal type" that she had not experienced in decades, coupled with a romantic twist of fate

Although the world is vast, there is only one Senior A-Liang. Yao Yao, please wake up quickly

It was only then that he remembered his plan

That night, she chatted with Ren Yue on WeChat until midnight, when the other party suddenly sent a message: "Xiao Shenzhe, what do you think of Tong Yao?"

"This kind of thing isn't very accurate either," Ren Yue said, glancing at Qin Zhan's increasingly dark expression. While explaining, he swiped on his phone and directly flipped to the next page of the game.

Tong Yao said this as she handed a card to the delivery person to pass on to the buyer: Anyone who has ever provoked me has already regretted appearing before me.

Tong Yao's words seem to hold some truth

He did not rest well all night, his voice is hoarse, he has developed dark circles under his eyes, and he has several large pimples on his face, which is why he looks this way

Xu Jiao Jiao suppressed her intense surprise and, with a hint of hesitation, said: "But the gap between me and your 'ideal type' is too great..."

Although it is the middle of winter, he is only wearing a thin, tight-fitting quick-dry shirt, and the muscles of his entire body are perfectly defined, revealing his tall and strong physique in all its glory

Xu Jiao Jiao said indignantly: "Is that so? It makes me think how considerate the male god is, having thought for a long time about how to bring this matter up to you."

Tong Yao said nothing outwardly, yet internally she harbored quiet doubts

Xu Jiao Jiao cast a worried glance at Tong Yao

Xiao Shenzhe said: "She didn't agree, probably because she is busy reviewing her studies"

Xu Jiao Jiao covered her mouth, nodding repeatedly, and before long, her eyes began to redden at the corners.

After sending Tong Yao flowers for several consecutive days, and enduring the ruthless battles for seats, just when he had completed the groundwork and was ready to perform well, he was tripped and fell, injuring his face and twisting his ankle. Qin Zhan felt a multitude of grievances in his heart. However, the next morning, he still got up early without any complaints, to help the three secure their seats.

However, on this day, as she walked alone on the tree-lined path, she truly experienced this scene: first, a basketball nearly brushed against her shoulder and fell down, followed by a boy jumping down from a tree, embracing the basketball with both hands and dribbling it twice.

Not long after, Tong Yao stopped and asked, "Do you still want to continue following me?"

How can she tease me and then go on to tease others? Qin Zhan's heart was filled with a capitalized "unwillingness".

Ren Yue, for some unknown reason, became timid and said softly, "Qin Zhan is coming over, let's wait for him." After saying this, he continued to converse with Zeng Yijie, keeping him engaged.

Qin Zhan finally admitted that once he confronted Tong Yao directly, his intelligence quotient would plummet.

Ren Yue shook his head with a smile: "Silly girl. My liking for you has nothing to do with the so-called 'ideal type.' No matter how vast the world is, no matter how good others may be, it cannot compare to my affection for you. So the question we face now is, do you still like me? Will you forgive me?"

Tong Yao only grabbed her arm, and together they jumped down to the stage, then hurried a few steps to stabilize their bodies

Xiao Shenzhe suddenly realized that something was amiss. Just as he was about to drag Zeng Yijie away, he heard a cold male voice say: "A true scoundrel and a false gentleman, tsk tsk, what an interesting combination"

Zeng Yijie saw that Xiao Shenzhe was about to explode, so he tugged at his clothes, but was shrugged off by him

However, everything seems to be normal, except that all the books used to reserve seats are from the finance department

"It doesn't matter. Since they are using such tactics, let's play along with them," Tong Yao said with a mischievous smile.

However, Qin Zhan knew that although Tong Yao appeared to be very charming on the surface, she possessed her own clear and bright world: frankness, integrity, kindness, and virtues that others find hard to match

Tong Yao described the scene of the two confronting each other in the dormitory, and even the delicate Xu Qing applauded in agreement: "Yao Yao has indirectly avenged me. Their character is despicable to the extreme; it was about time someone dealt with them."

What a wishful thought! Ren Yue no longer pretends and directly states the solution. What I mean is, you do not directly approach her, but instead send warmth to the goddess through other means. Of course, this is a last resort; the best strategy is to win without fighting.

Qin Zhan has always feared that others would not speak up, as it would make him appear aggressive; now that Xiao Shenzhe has come to him, everything is just right

Even Xu Jiao Jiao is worried that this might scare the other party

On the third day's card, next to the words "Do not forget," a star was marked beside it, while the other several were crossed out. On the back of the card, there was a drawing of the library's study room map, with the rows and numbers clearly marked, and two little figures were drawn, dancing and describing "See you there."

Remember, the stationery is quite beautiful, though the handwriting is somewhat ugly. Fortunately, what was copied is a love poem by Shakespeare, so it doesn't seem too lowbrow. What's wrong? Isn't it possible that someone accidentally left it inside?" Tong Yao asked curiously

Faintly, he caught a whiff of the fragrance emanating from her, a scent that was still familiar to him

Qin Zhan let out a soft "oh," but he closely followed her. However, his expression was not very pleasant, so he kept his head down, looking at the tips of his shoes

Tong Yao gave her an appreciative glance

With a soft "puchi" sound, the white knife went in, and the red knife came out! Qin Zhan felt as if a large hole had been pierced in his heart

The joy bubbles that had just emerged have burst

He is really pursuing you! Xu Jiaojiao said with an excited expression

Tong Yao smiled and pointed to the sign beside her, which prominently displayed two large characters: Women's Restroom

Eternal love, unforgettable love, hopeless love, without regret. Is it hopeless? Tong Yao replied

"You have lost to me for so many years; even if you win now, there is not a shred of accomplishment in it," Qin Zhan remarked sarcastically

"What could it be? It's just doubting whether you have really been in a relationship." Qin Zhan snorted coldly, "You haven't even sorted out your own matters—last night, I don't know who was dreaming, but kept calling out to a girl not to leave."

Over time, I became trapped by this 'ideal type'. Although I had many ex-girlfriends, I never truly felt happy until I met you..." He gazed at Xu Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, I know that back then I did not see my own feelings clearly, and I was not mature enough emotionally, which caused you some harm and led me to take some detours. However, I have now come to understand that I genuinely like you! Can you forgive me?"

Qin Zhan was delighted to hear Tong Yao say: "Waste is not a virtue; I will accept it and pass it on to others."

Xu Jiao Jiao and Xu Qing laughed heartily

Pardon? I beg your pardon? Ren Yue, in a fit of anger, wished she could enumerate all the grievances she had borne for him over the years—if it weren't for him, could Qin Zhan have so freely acted as the "other people's child" in the eyes of adults?

After reading, Qin Zhan was the first to nod and said, "I think I have a bit of an understanding of what Yao Yao is struggling with. How about you? Have you figured it out? What exactly is Jiao Jiao to you, and what is she not?"

Shouldn't it be left for me to handle? Qin Zhan stared at him, his gaze piercing. With this much time on your hands, why don't you test Xu Jiao Jiao?

The days of anxiety and hesitation, the tension and embarrassment from just having made a fool of oneself, all vanished in an instant, leaving only a bubbling joy that yearned to emerge

"I usually exercise well, but today I don't know how I messed up," the boy said. "By the way, my name is Xiao Shenzhe, and I am a member of the school basketball team. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." His back was straight, and he appeared neat and tidy.

Xiao Shenzhe immediately called Zeng Yijie: "It is estimated that the operation will fail, Qin Zhan has come to find Tong Yao."

Xu Jiao Jiao looked surprised and asked in confusion: "Don't you like ... ... "

"Get lost!" Qin Zhan said impatiently, "Hurry and go after the person who is chasing you."

After coming to a stop, he turned back against the light and smiled, saying: "I didn't scare you, did I? I just slipped a bit. Are you okay?"

When receiving the call from Xiao Shenzhe regarding the seating arrangement for three people, Tong Yao repeated it once, nodded, and expressed her gratitude under the surprised gazes of Xu Jiao Jiao and Xu Qing.

What a coincidence " Xiao Shenzhe smiled with a unique expression

The tone is not quite right

Tong Yao shook her hand: "No"

Ren Yue said somewhat awkwardly, "It's just that I don't know much about her past experiences..." Seeing Qin Zhan's increasingly unfriendly expression, he hurriedly explained, "It was you who asked me to look into Tong Yao's information at that time, so I just glanced at it casually. Now I'm just inputting it as a matter of convenience. The evaluation results have just come out, and I haven't finished looking at them yet..."

I was serious about everything I just said. Before you come to a conclusion, please do not make any more futile efforts, whether it is sending flowers or reserving a seat

Meanwhile, Qin Zhan, who was fighting alone, held an e-book day and night, studying various love manuals

Upon seeing this, Qin Zhan's expression softened considerably. He glanced at Ren Yue and then looked at his phone.

Well... before that, you should not casually accept others' pursuits, after all, there is a sequence of precedence. I will definitely figure it out soon!" Qin Zhan took the opportunity to make a request

Tong Yao held the flowers and card with her arms and clapped her hands, saying, "Congratulations on your enlightenment, Student Qin."

She thanked Ren Yue, saying, "That was thoughtful of you, I will take my leave now." Just as she was about to leave, Ren Yue grabbed her arm.

The soft strands of hair casually brushed against his face, stirring his heart to beat with great joy

"That wasn't dropped by anyone; it was a love letter meant for you! The letter was addressed 'Dear TY', but somehow the 'T' got smudged and became unreadable, and the 'Y' suffered the same fate, so you interpreted it as 'X'. You are the class representative, so when you read the letter aloud as 'X', everyone naturally followed your line of thought, which is why no one ever guessed who that poem was written for." Xu Jiaojiao explained.

Qin Zhan clapped and said, "After all these years, you have finally demonstrated some value."

Qin Zhan said to Zeng Yijie: "I have truly witnessed what is called fairness—God has given him well-developed limbs, and inevitably, he must have a straightened mind."

Although he had made a military pledge in front of Tong Yao, Qin Zhan remained at a loss regarding the issue that lay between the two of them

Tong Yao looked at his back, her heart filled with mixed emotions

Tong Yao remained noncommittal

Qin Zhan hurriedly said: "Those flowers were booked for two months at once and cannot be returned. Reserving a seat is also a side benefit, to avoid..." to prevent Tong Yao from constantly running into Xiao Shenzhe.

The course of events had completely slipped out of Tong Yao's control. She grabbed Qin Zhan and said, "Run!" Although she said to run, she was mindful of Qin Zhan's leg injury and only walked briskly.

... ...

Tong Yao called out again: "I know it's you. Stop for a moment, I have something to say."

She was unaware that this sentence caused Qin Zhan to spend the entire night drawing and sketching with a flashlight

Xu Jiao Jiao looked at the two with cold eyes, the initial joy and excitement that had emerged was now mostly dissipated

Just as Ren Yue was about to turn hostile, Qin Zhan suddenly shouted, "Strategist!" Qin Zhan patted Ren Yue's shoulder and earnestly called out, "General Strategist Ren!"

Tong Yao laughed heartily: "He had come before me, feeling quite pleased, but I pushed him back."

Tong Yao thought he would go to the infirmary for treatment, but unexpectedly, he waited until the end of the program

A few days later, Zeng Yijie suddenly asked: "Besides laughing and saying thank you, does Tong Yao say anything else? Have you made any requests, such as going out to eat or watching a movie together?"

Not far away, Qin Zhan, who had just defeated the two scoundrels, finished the battle and wanted to come over to show off, but happened to witness this scene, momentarily frozen in place

After he left, Tong Yao absentmindedly doodled. When she came to her senses, she realized that she had drawn a scene of a girl fiercely beating up a boy. She stared at it for a long time, and surprisingly, her mood improved significantly, a smile curling at the corners of her mouth

Tong Yao was momentarily at a loss for words: "This cannot be blamed on me... Why copy a sonnet when everything is fine?"

Xu Qing silently added: "Oh right, even I have received it... although I don't know where the 'scumbag' got the carnations from."

"So do you consider me... a friend?" Xiao Shenzhe hesitated and asked

If this cannot be called fate, then there is probably only one kind: a fateful entanglement

He turned around and went to confront Tong Yao, asking: "Have you been treating me as a backup?"

The next day, the bellflower arrived as scheduled, but the delivery person was wearing sunglasses and a mask, closely watched by the dormitory supervisor. As Tong Yao was about to go out, she was reminded by the supervisor to be careful.

During a dormitory discussion, the topic of "ideal types" and aspirations for love is an experience shared by most girls. At that time, Tong Yao's words left Xu Jiao Jiao and Xu Qing in shock

Tong Yao felt a stir in her heart and fixed her gaze on him

Before Qin Zhan could react, the second WeChat message came through: I already knew. It was accompanied by a smiling emoji

He is tall and robust, with a strikingly heroic demeanor in his brows and eyes. Every gesture he makes radiates vibrant energy, exuding great charm.

Qin Zhan, who had been caught, stiffened slightly, pretended not to hear, and continued walking

For a moment, the dormitory fell silent as the three of them turned their gaze towards the windowsill, which was lined with a full row of bellflower blossoms

The girl who fell at the party is your junior sister. How much of your injury was an accident? I really don't understand what benefits Zeng Yijie promised you that you would engage in such morally depraved actions. I just ask you to open your eyes a little wider; I am not an innocent little girl who knows nothing about the world. " Tong Yao pressed on relentlessly, " What do you want to do next? Discuss reason or discuss strength? "

This does not necessarily indicate that the two have reconciled. Catching the school belle is not particularly impressive; isn't it more fulfilling to take away everyone's goddess from the school hunk?

Indeed, I can tell from his gaze that he truly likes you, Xu Qing concurred

The exam week has arrived, and every morning before the library opens, there is a long line at the entrance, as students are eager to go upstairs and secure their seats at the earliest opportunity

Ren Yue, feeling exasperated, instead laughed and said: "Thank you, I only hope that one day, you must not fall into my hands."

Xu Jiao Jiao exclaimed in surprise: "Conspiracy theory?"

Xu Jiaojiao nodded and followed him to a distance of one hundred steps. To her surprise, Ren Yue merely gazed at her, saying nothing.
