Love So Sweet

This was because Ji Xin Xin could see Zhang Yi Hai standing alone just beside the stairs.

Her eyes lit up. Ji Xin Xin scanned her surroundings and saw that the boys were gathered at the side, chatting happily. However, it was only Zhang Yi Hai did not join them.

At this time, Zhang Yi Hai had his head lowered as he played with his phone.

Ji Xin Xin frowned as she pondered over her decision. After a while, she inhaled a deep breath and walked over in Zhang Yi Hai’s direction.

Zhang Yi Hai was quick to notice that someone was standing beside him. He looked up and saw that the classmate who had talked to him earlier was standing beside him.

He gave her a quick nod, knowing that Ji Xin Xin was a fan of his girlfriend.

“Zhang Yi Hai, what are you doing?”

“Nothing.” There was a faint frown on his face. He slid his phone into his pocket and looked at the girl in front of him. “What’s the matter?”

.....

Ji Xin Xin had an awkward look on her face. Although Zhang Yi Hai was willing to talk to her earlier about his sister’s painting, Ji Xin Xin thought that his attitude was still a little cold.

If she wanted to pursue him, she will have to get used to this.

Ji Xin Xin thought about the rumor that she had heard about him. “I have something I wanted to ask.”

Zhang Yi Hai nodded. “Go ahead.”

Ji Xin Xin tried to calm down, but her heart was beating fast. “There was a rumor around the campus these past few days.”

The frown on his face deepened.

Zhang Yi Hai naturally knew about the rumor. After all, it was just a few hours ago that he had heard about it through Tang Yin.

“Zhang Yi Hai, is the rumor true?” Ji Xin Xin asked. The moment she asked the question, Ji Xin Xin began to hesitate again. “It’s not true, right? You’re not dating anyone, right?”

There was a subtle change in Zhang Yi Hai’s face when he heard her questions.

It was fine if it was Tang Yin or his roommates who asked these questions. However, he was never that close to Ji Xin Xin. Therefore, he did not think that it was appropriate for her to ask him this question.

After all, this was his personal matter.

Still, since she had asked, Zhang Yi Hai decided to explain this situation to her. “No.”

Ji Xin Xin’s eyes lit up.

“The rumor is true.”

Then, the light in her eyes disappeared again.

“I am dating someone,” Zhang Yi Hai continued. “However, she is not someone who goes to the same university as us. I hope that this matter is clear and you guys can stop asking about it.”

Ji Xin Xin stood in front of Zhang Yi Hai with an unreadable expression on her face.

Her lips parted as if she wanted to say something, however, she realized that she did not know what she could say at this moment. She had hoped that Zhang Yi Hai would deny the rumor, but she got her heart broken just like that.

She wanted to confess her love, but it seem that it would be better for her to forget her plan.

Ji Xin Xin’s tears were threatening to fall.

Just then, the girls walked out of the restaurant. Worried that her friends were going to know about his rejection, Ji Xin Xin then turned around without saying a word.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yi Hai watched as the girl walked away with a puzzled look on his face. He could not understand just what was going on as Ji Xin Xin had left without saying a word.

However, this was not something that he should worry about.

Zhang Yi Hai took out his phone again, hoping that Fang Su in would text him. Just then, he heard a familiar voice calling his name.

“Zhang Yi Hai?”

He turned around quickly and was surprised to see that his girlfriend and her parents were standing not too far away from him.

Instantly, Zhang Yi Hai’s eyes lit up. However, he was quick to notice that there was something strange in Fang Su Jin’s gaze.

Zhang Yi Hai had expected that Fang Su Jin would be surprised to see him appearing at this place. However, he did not see the look that he has been anticipating. Instead, Fang Su Jin seemed... angry?

Was she unhappy that he decided to show up here to surprise her?

He shifted his gaze to Father Fang and nodded. “Uncle Fang, hello.” He wanted to go to Fang Su Jin’s side to ask her what happened, but, he knew that it would only make Fang Su Jin’s parents suspect something. Then, Fang Su Jin would be angry.

The man had a wide smile on his face when he saw Zhang Yi Hai. “I did not expect to see you here.” He always had a good impression of Zhang Yi Hai. Obviously, he was very happy to see the young man.

Father Fang shifted his gaze to the boys who were gathered nearby. “Are you here with your friends?”

“Hmm... We had a gathering a while ago, but everyone is now heading back home.” Zhang Yi Hai said. “Uncle, are you and aunt here to visit Sister Fang’s exhibition?”

Father Fang nodded. “Uh-huh.” He gave Zhang Yi Hai a lookover and spoke, “Have you visited her exhibition yet? It was quite good. As usual, Su Jin painted beautifully.”

Zhang Yi Hi smiled. “I visited her exhibition a few days ago.” He glanced at Fang Su Jin and spoke, “Sister Fang’s paintings are very pretty.”

Fang Su Jin narrowed her eyes and scoffed before she looked away from Zhang Yi Hai.

In fact, Fang Su Jin was the first to notice Zhang Yi Hai’s presence. Initially, she was a little surprised to see Zhang Yi Hai at this place. However, the look on her face changed when she saw that Zhang Yi Hai and Ji Xin Xin were chatting together.

For the first time, Fang Su Jin could not help but feel jealous. Her heart was heavy as she recalled seeing them together.
