  • A Love Sparked by a Pair of Underwear

    Chapters 28-37

    28

    I did not expect that Ji Chao would take the initiative to contact me on WeChat (we had added each other the last time we met).

    Ji Chao: Classmate Cui Yingying, do you have time to have a meal together in the evening?

    I didn’t know how to answer for a while.

    Ji Chao: I have something I want to confirm with you.

    My heart jumped, had he already confirmed that I was the girl who had gone into the wrong locker room?

    If I were to refuse, would he post on the confession wall and flay me?

    I had already started to imagine the scene of everyone at school discussing that “Cui Yingying was a perverted woman stealing panties” in my brain.

    Brother, if you’re so sure why did you still come to ask me?

    Just after I was prepared to be exposed to the whole school by Ji Chao on the confession wall as the female pervert who had stolen underwear, Ji Chao suddenly laughed: “Unexpectedly, your love for Qiaowei has been distorted to such a perverted level.”

    Me: ? ?

    Me: “Classmate Ji Chao, this is actually a misunderstanding, I…”

    Ji Chao: “Don’t explain. Explaining is concealing, and concealing indicates the truth.”

    Me: ?

    No, can you listen to me finish my words?

    Ji Chao: “Do you still want Qiaowei’s underwear? I’ll help you, three hundred for one pair.”

    Me: ……

    Did I fall into a perverted den?

    Shen Qiaowei wanted to take off his underwear for me, Ji Chao wanted to sell Shen Qiaowei’s underwear to me?

    I finally got angry. I slapped the table, shocking Ji Chao, and then I clarified the cause and effect of the matter.

    Ji Chao suddenly came to a realisation: “It turns out that the situation was like this, it seems that I blamed you wrongly.”

    Me: “It was originally like this! Go to the confession wall to clear it up!”

    Ji Chao: “No.”

    Me: ?

    Me: “Why?”

    Ji Chao: “After clearing it up then Qiaowei won’t have…”

    Halfway through the conversation, he stopped suddenly.

    Me: “What’s wrong?”

    Ji Chao: “It’s nothing.”

    Me: ……

    Me: “Can you finish speaking in one breath? You say half and swallow half, are you hungry?”

    Ji Chao didn’t get angry, he covered his mouth and smiled shyly: “I’ll tell you a secret.”

    Advertisements

    Me: “What?”

    Ji Chao: “Come here.”

    I went over.

    Ji Chao lowered his voice: “Did Qiaowei go volunteering with you last time?”

    I nodded.

    Ji Chao: “Actually, I was going to go. After he saw the list of volunteers, he insisted on going for me. Do you know why?”

    Me: “Why?”

    Ji Chao slapped me while going “aiya”, “Why are you such a blockhead?”

    29

    I thought long and hard for a whole day, and finally figured out why Shen Qiaowei had taken Ji Chao’s place to go volunteer.

    Hmph, he must have a crush on the finance class beauty next door, the girl who took the lead to give me attitude that day!

    From this point of view, Shen Qiaowei must have helped me take out the rubbish probably because he wanted to show off his gentlemanly attitude, right?

    Advertisements

    For some reason, I feel a sourness in my heart.

    I can’t believe I thought he was good looking and useful at that time!

    I retracted my thoughts I had about him before.

    He was only useful in front of beauties!

    30

    Ji Chao kept trying to get close to me these past two days.

    He sent me a WeChat message.

    Ji Chao: Yingying, what are you doing?

    I got goosebumps all over.

    Me: Typing.

    Ji Chao: You are so humorous.

    Me: ?

    You can even compliment this?

    At this moment, Shen Qiaowei also sent me a message.

    Shen Qiaowei: Cui Yingying, you are not allowed to skip the common required class anymore.

    Me: ……

    This person called me classmate Cui Yingying before, but he directly called me Cui Yingying now.

    He should learn from Ji Chao, who kept saying “Qiaowei” to the left and “Yingying” to the right, only by doing this could one narrow the distance between people!

    Me: Oh.

    Shen Qiaowei: Not happy?

    Me: No, I just have a problem.

    Shen Qiaowei: What?

    Me: Does everyone call you Qiaowei?

    Shen Qiaowei: No, only Ji Chao.

    Me: I have another question, what does your name mean?

    Shen Qiaowei: My father’s surname is Shen, and my mother’s surname is Qiao. The character “Wei” was given to me by my grandfather. It is the ‘Wei’ that means protecting the peace of all ages and it’s also the ‘Wei’ from ‘The politics of heaven and earth, the social laws of the world are protected’.

    I didn’t know why, but when Shen Qiaowei explained his name to me so seriously, there was a special type of romantic feeling within.

    Me: Very cultured.

    Shen Qiaowei: What about your name?

    Me: It’s nothing special. My dad thought that just from one glance at this name, you could tell that it was a little girl, so he thought it was pretty good.

    Shen Qiaowei: …

    Okay, I decided to learn from Ji Chao in the future. I wouldn’t say people’s surname when I called them, only their first name.

    Thinking about this, I changed Shen Qiaowei’s WeChat nickname to Xiaowei1little Wei.

    No culture, so cute.

    Puns are the eternal god2she’s saying this because Xiaowei can also refer to a ‘boy’ as well as a name.

    31

    In the past few days, when I thought about the fact that Xiaowei had a crush on the class beauty, there was an inexplicable sense of hurt.

    After all, the connection between him and the class beauty was love.

    His connection with me was a pair of underwear.

    I had to directly face this difference!

    32

    However, Shen Qiaowei did not give up on the relationship between us that was maintained by a pair of underwear.

    This could be specifically shown in the fact that he would monitor me every day, making me study hard.

    I could reasonably suspect that this was a top student’s obsessive compulsive order.

    I didn’t know where he had gotten a timetable for my course, before each class, he would ask me on WeChat: Did you skip class?

    Me: ……

    I just skip class occasionally, okay?

    Not only that, Shen Qiaowei also dragged me to study with him.

    Help, does a top student’s obsessive-compulsive disorder mean that he cannot allow a slacker to be around him?

    In the study room, I was separated from Shen Qiaowei by one seat.

    I stared at the textbook and tried to concentrate. At any rate, I was in R University’s most famed course, so I couldn’t show my ignorance.

    But the words in this book could fly, they could even overlap.

    Then I fell asleep again.

    When I woke up, I found an extra coat on my body.

    All I could think about in my mind was that ever since poor Xiaowei met me, his coat didn’t belong to him anymore.

    I laid on the table and turned my face towards Shen Qiaowei’s side.

    Me: ? ?

    When had he moved to sit next to me?

    Seeing that I was awake, Shen Qiaowei put down the pen in his hand and moved his face slowly towards me.

    I retreated subconsciously, but he suddenly embraced me with his arms.

    Just when I thought some heart-warming Mary Sue plot was about to happen, Shen Qiaowei took out a tissue and wiped my mouth.

    “Saliva.”

    33

    Ahhhhh, help!

    I was lying on the table, my face buried in my arms.

    What an embarrassment!

    Shen Qiaowei: “You haven’t woken up yet?”

    I replied dully, “I’ve woken up, but I don’t have any face to see people now.”

    Shen Qiaowei suddenly chuckled.

    He leaned close to my ear with a laugh in his voice: “You’ve already picked up my underwear, how come you’re still so thin-skinned?”

    I felt my ears go so red that it became hot.

    Shen Qiaowei sighed, “You skip class during the day and sleep during self-study. What if you fail your course? Yingying.”

    My heartbeat soared suddenly.

    Failing a subject could kill me.

    But Shen Qiaowei calling me Yingying killed me even more.

    34

    I had completely become a hot topic in school.

    Not because of stealing underwear!

    It’s because I had substantiated the position of being Shen Qiaowei’s rumored girlfriend.

    Staring at the secretly taken photos on the school forum, I was puzzled.

    Was Shen Qiaowei a popular idol? How could there be so many enthusiastic people “casually taking a photo”?

    In the dormitory, other than Xiaozhen, there were 12345678 sisters who came to look at me every day.

    I felt like a polar bear that stayed up all night.

    Trying to pretend to be an endangered giant panda.

    35

    On WeChat.

    Me: Classmate Shen, I think we need to keep our distance.

    Shen Qiaowei: Why?

    Why? Of course it’s because they think I’m your girlfriend!

    But I typed and deleted this sentence, deleted and typed, and finally gritted my teeth.

    Me: Because it’s inappropriate.

    There was a pause for two minutes.

    Shen Qiaowei: Do you hate me?

    Me: No…

    Shen Qiaowei: By coincidence, I don’t hate you either.

    Me: ……

    Isn’t this topic getting further and further away from the original subject matter?

    Shen Qiaowei: Do you want to go to a music concert?

    Me: What?

    Shen Qiaowei: I have two tickets, do you want to go together?

    Shen Qiaowei: I’ve decided on you, you are not allowed to refuse.

    Just because you say I can’t refuse, so I won’t refuse?

    Me: ……

    Me: Okay.

    Really, I had never been to a music concert before, I was strangely curious.

    36

    On the day of our appointment, I thought about it, since we were listening to a symphony, in order to match the vibe, I needed to dress more formally.

    So I fished out a little black dress from my closet and wiped off the dust from my high heels. Finally, I asked Xiaozhen to put on my makeup and curl my hair.

    I looked at myself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

    Perfect.

    The concert venue was at the Zhongshan Park Concert Hall, it started at 7 o’clock in the evening.

    So I met Shen Qiaowei at the school gate at 6:30.

    When we met, we were both stunned.

    He looked at my curly hair, black dress and high heels.

    I looked at his sweatshirt, shorts, and runners.

    Shen Qiaowei: “Are you going to the ball?

    Me: ……

    Help, what a f*cking embarrassment!

    Me: “How about I go back and change my clothes?”

    Shen Qiaowei: “No, it looks pretty good.”

    I blushed immediately.

    Shen Qiaowei praised me despite his poisonous tongue?

    On the way, I secretly asked him, “Classmate Shen, are there any precautions I should be aware of while listening to the concert?”

    Shen Qiaowei: “Just be aware of bringing your ears.”

    Me: ……

    I take back what I just said, he did have a huge poisonous tongue!

    37

    I may have been possessed by a Sleeping God recently.

    Listening to this aggressive and triumphant symphony performance made me sleepy, but I was still holding on. I couldn’t always fall asleep in front of Shen Qiaowei.

    Just when I was struggling to stay awake with my tenacious will, and my head was starting to fall down bit by bit, Shen Qiaowei held onto my little head and whispered, “Let’s go out.”

    Then he took me out.

    Me: “It’s not over yet? We’re just going to leave like this?”

    Shen Qiaowei: “If we don’t leave, you will fall asleep again. This time is different from the last, you won’t be able to go back to the dormitory if I can’t wake you up. Do you want to spend the night with me outside?”

    I blushed again.

    Listen to his words, so ambiguous.

    It was completely dark outside. There was a street lamp far away in the Zhongshan Park, and most of the buildings were hidden in the dark scenery.

    Walking on the porch of the building that had carved beams and painted rafters, all I could think of were the dramas from the Qing dynasty.

    At this moment, I didn’t pay attention to a step, and with a ‘bam’, I knelt in front of Shen Qiaowei.

    The scene was too awkward, so I blurted out: “Hail the emperor.”

    Me: ……

    F*ck, how come I felt even more embarrassed?

    Shen Qiaowei laughed loudly and then stretched out his hand to help me up: “My dear concubine, no need for such a big greeting.”

    I blushed and got up, only realizing after that he had said “dear concubine”…

    So smoke started to rise above my head.

    This person was really too much.

    Didn’t he have someone he liked?

    “Don’t you have someone you like?”

    Me: ……

    Oops, I let it out accidentally.

    Shen Qiaowei: “Who?”

    I decided to go all out, “It’s the finance class beauty from next door.”

    Shen Qiaowei: “Who? I don’t know her.”

    Me: “You’re lying. Last time you swapped with Ji Chao to go volunteer with her. Don’t think I don’t know about that!”

    Shen Qiaowei froze for a moment, and then chuckled softly: “I went to volunteer instead of Ji Chao, not because of whatever class beauty you’re referring to.”

    With that said, Shen Qiaowei slowly approached me. In the dim light, he looked down at me, his eyes were surprisingly bright.

    “It’s because of you.”
