Immediately after, Chen Kai said to Qin Xiaoyu and the other two, "Alright, then you all go to the Library."
Then he left, preparing to check on the commercial office building he had just acquired.
As soon as he arrived at the commercial office building, he noticed that Qin Xiaoyu had sent him a WeChat message.
"Old Chen, I almost forgot, didn't we say I'd buy you milk tea? Jiajia and I are queuing at the milk tea shop now. I'll buy you a cup too, you can drink it when you come back tonight!"
After sending the message to Chen Kai.
The milk tea shop assistant said, "Two milk teas, 20 yuan in total."
"Okay." Qin Xiaoyu took out her phone and scanned to pay 20 yuan.
After paying, she said to Wang Jiajia and Li Ran, "Let's go, aren't we going to the Library? I've already bought the milk tea. When we get to the Library, I'll drink one, and the other one is for Old Chen to take back."
Wang Jiajia and Li Ran, her two female roommates, had shocked expressions.
They looked at each other.
Then they asked, "Xiaoyu, were those things you just said to Chen Kai serious?"
"What things?"
"Just now, when Chen Kai was here, you asked him for his house key. Qin Xiaoyu, don't tell me you didn't go back to Fengtian for Summer Vacation and stayed at Chen Kai's place for a night."
Wang Jiajia and Li Ran also knew that Qin Xiaoyu and Chen Kai had a good relationship. They had been deskmates for three years. Although there were times when their seats were adjusted, Qin Xiaoyu was good at studying, and the teacher liked her. She proactively offered to be Chen Kai's deskmate to help him with his studies. As long as it improved his grades, the teacher didn't object. So, over these three years, the two of them were basically inseparable.
To be honest, Qin Xiaoyu spent much more time with Chen Kai than with her two roommates.
Wang Jiajia even suspected that Qin Xiaoyu might be using the guise of 'male and female siblings' to secretly develop a romantic relationship with Chen Kai?
Initially, it was just a suspicion.
But then she heard that Qin Xiaoyu didn't go back to Fengtian last night and even spent the night at Chen Kai's house.
Wang Jiajia and Li Ran said in shock, "Xiaoyu, you're so unfair! You didn't even tell us about such a big thing, even though we've been in the same dorm for three years."
Qin Xiaoyu had a dazed expression.
She had no idea what these two sisters were talking about.
"Tell you what?"
"Still pretending? You and Chen Kai have developed such a relationship, you're even living together, and you still say you're not boyfriend and girlfriend."
Qin Xiaoyu was speechless. "Please, what are you two thinking? Old Chen and I, we have a pure sibling relationship, okay?"
"We're good siblings for life."
Wang Jiajia and Li Ran looked at each other.
Then they looked at Qin Xiaoyu.
For life?
Which 'life'?
The 'bei' from 'bei wo' (bedding)? 'Yi beizi' (one quilt)?
Qin Xiaoyu was about to go crazy: "Oh, Jiajia, what are you saying? If you say that, I'll get angry! Old Chen and I are such pure good siblings, but you're thinking such dirty thoughts."
"Haha, alright, we're just kidding, Xiaoyu."
Wang Jiajia said with a smile, "But Xiaoyu, have you noticed Chen Kai's gaze at you just now? Based on my many years of experience in romance, that's not the look you give a sibling."
Qin Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment. "Oh? When? Just now when Old Chen was here? I didn't notice! Did he look at me?"
"What kind of look?"
Qin Xiaoyu asked curiously, "What kind of look did Old Chen give me just now?"
She really hadn't noticed.
Wang Jiajia asked seriously, "Let me put it this way, Xiaoyu, don't you think Chen Kai is interested in you?"
Huh?
Old Chen is interested in me?
"Probably not." Qin Xiaoyu often joked with Chen Kai when they were together.
Old Chen, you don't like me, do you? You're not secretly in love with me, are you?
But Qin Xiaoyu knew very well that Old Chen purely regarded her as a sibling. Interested in her? That should be impossible.
Although Qin Xiaoyu was usually very narcissistic, it was all in jest.
It was just to liven up the atmosphere, but she wasn't truly narcissistic.
Because, to be honest, she and Old Chen had been platonic siblings for three years.
If Old Chen was really interested in her, he would have made a move on her long ago over these three years, and there wouldn't have been any sign of it until now.
"Jiajia, don't talk nonsense. Old Chen often complained about me before. How could he possibly like me? Don't joke around. He wouldn't fall for me even if he fell for anyone. The chances of him falling for you, Jiajia, are greater than him falling for me."
Wang Jiajia said very seriously, "Xiaoyu, you don't believe me, do you? I've been in the dating scene for so many years, how many relationships have I had? How many have you had? You haven't even had one, have you? Do you know as much as I do?"
But in reality, Wang Jiajia had never been in a relationship.
There's always that one classmate who has never actually been in a relationship but often pretends to be very knowledgeable in front of everyone, analyzing this and that for others.
Whenever a classmate encountered emotional problems, they would consult her.
And she would always speak eloquently.
But in reality, she had never been in a relationship; she was a master of theory.
This was Wang Jiajia.
Wang Jiajia said seriously, "Qin Xiaoyu, I am telling you very seriously and responsibly, I am certain, or rather, 90% confident, that Chen Kai definitely likes you, or at the very least has a good impression of you."
"He definitely doesn't purely consider you a sibling."
Qin Xiaoyu countered, "Really?"
Wang Jiajia sighed, "Oh, Qin Xiaoyu, you really don't understand how guys think. They absolutely cannot maintain a pure friendship with someone of the opposite sex, unless that person is very ugly, then it's definitely pure."
"But Qin Xiaoyu, don't you have a sense of your own appearance?"
Indeed, Qin Xiaoyu was very beautiful. If it weren't for her overly boisterous personality.
And her Mandarin would gradually turn into Northeastern dialect, which was a bit funny; she wasn't the dignified, elegant, quiet type of girl.
Otherwise, the number of boys pursuing Qin Xiaoyu would definitely be very high.
But what was certain was that Qin Xiaoyu's looks were definitely the most beautiful.
Wang Jiajia continued, "Chen Kai has been your sibling for three years, you wouldn't really think he considers you a sibling, would you? How does that saying go? Guys have a routine for picking up girls: either they acknowledge them as siblings, or they acknowledge them as younger sisters. After a long time, the younger sister becomes a 'little darling,' and it's the same with siblings; it's all just a pretense."
Qin Xiaoyu listened, completely bewildered. What Jiajia said seemed to make a lot of sense. Could it be that Old Chen really likes me?
