Lin Yu thought for a long time.
He still couldn't come up with a good solution.
A way to keep Gu Yue firmly rejecting those suitors while also hiding his own feelings well enough.
He brooded the whole way.
Soon, they were about to reach the entrance to the classroom building.
The crowd there was thick.
Lin Yu knew that if he didn't speak now, it would be even harder to say anything once they were at the building's base.
Honestly, Lin Yu hadn't been in such a rush before.
If he couldn't think of the right words now, he could just wait until noon.
Or the afternoon.
Tomorrow or the day after would also work.
After all, Gu Yue came to see him almost every day.
Was he really afraid he wouldn't get a chance to talk to her?
But now, Lin Yu's army hadn't even moved, and his supplies had already been burned to ashes.
Yesterday, that sleazeball of a guy had already stirred up a big sense of urgency in Lin Yu.
And now this morning, another piece of trash had popped up.
Lin Yu no longer had the patience or the nerve to drag things out any longer.
And those were just the ones he'd seen.
What about when he wasn't around?
Who knew how many other flashy, shameless types had tried to hit on Gu Yue?
The more he thought about it, the more frantic Lin Yu became.
Back in high school, Gu Yue hadn't been all that popular—what was going on?
How had she turned into such a hot commodity now that she was in college?
Was this some kind of "younger-sister-freshman" bonus?
He scratched his head in frustration.
Lin Yu's heart felt like a piece of pork belly, tied up with a rope and dangling in midair—totally unsettled.
His mind was so overloaded that he started spiraling into wild thoughts.
What if, in just these few hours of parting,
that big potato of a girl, Gu Yue, suddenly got snatched up by some wild boar?
Damn it!
No way!
Lin Yu wailed inside his head.
It was like hearing a strange noise in the living room in the middle of the night.
Maybe something just fell over, or maybe it was some other trivial reason.
If you just don't think about it, the moment passes.
You stay in your room, keep doing whatever you were doing—playing, sleeping, whatever.
But if you stubbornly dwell on why that noise happened,
all kinds of crazy possibilities start popping up.
Burglary?
A supernatural event?
A ghost knocking at the door? (Well, that wouldn't be so bad—scratch that.)
An enemy seeking revenge?
The more you think, the more absurd it gets, and the more scared you become.
Lin Yu had crawled deep into that rabbit hole now,
his heart restless with anxiety.
Looking at Gu Yue, who seemed no different than usual, he suddenly felt like she had turned into a diamond.
In the blink of an eye, someone might snatch her away.
No, no!
He had to do something.
Otherwise, he'd really regret it!
He stole a sideways glance at Gu Yue.
Maybe it was because he hadn't been engaging with her,
but she had started talking to herself without him noticing.
Her topic of discussion was surprisingly serious:
whether she should go to the cafeteria at noon and try some savory tofu pudding.
"Oh, so you're weak-boned after all," he blurted out in a teasing tone.
The moment Lin Yu realized what he'd said,
he wished he could slap himself.
The mood between them was already awkward enough.
With that dumb, sarcastic comment,
Lin Yu felt like their "buddy" vibe had gotten even stronger!
At this rate, it felt like throwing an arm over her shoulder would be more fitting than confessing his feelings!
"Nonsense!" she shot back.
"My bones are super hard! Here, feel for yourself."
Gu Yue's face showed a cute defiance as she stretched out her arm, holding it across Lin Yu's chest, as if daring him to test it.
Looking at her pale, smooth forearm,
Lin Yu swallowed the remark that was about to slip out—"Your body fat is almost as high as a pig's, how tough could your arm really be?"—
and instead let out a string of "get out of here," pushing her arm away.
With the classroom building getting closer,
Lin Yu's anxiety was through the roof.
In his panic, he stopped caring about subtle hints.
He opened his mouth and said, in a near-direct approach:
"Don't bother with those random guys on campus, okay? They don't seem like good people."
"Huh?"
Gu Yue let out a confused sound.
She honestly didn't know who those "random guys" Lin Yu was talking about were.
Curious, she turned to look at him.
It was an autumn morning.
The sunlight, just starting to carry a hint of warmth, shone straight down from above.
On Lin Yu's dark face, which had been thoroughly tanned by a whole summer of sun,
the word "discomfort" was practically written all over it.
Stranger still—Gu Yue wondered if she had just slept too much and was imagining things—
on that face of his, which was so tanned you could barely see any other color,
she actually spotted a faint but noticeable shade of red...
...
Seeing Lin Yu's rarely shown awkwardness,
Gu Yue seemed to suddenly realize something, her eyes brightening slightly.
She stared at him as his gaze darted around, deliberately avoiding hers.
In her pretty eyes, the light grew brighter,
as if a star had been placed inside them.
"Cough."
"Ahem."
Lin Yu was incredibly uncomfortable under her stare.
He raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly.
Forcing calm, he pointed ahead and changed the subject, saying,
“You should get to class now.”
“You’ll be late if you don’t hurry.”
It was only then that Gu Yue snapped out of it.
She looked away and lowered her head.
Her cheeks began to flush uncontrollably, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help turning up.
“Oh,”
Gu Yue answered softly, her voice so gentle it hardly seemed like hers.
They were already more than halfway to the teaching building,
with about two hundred meters left.
To Lin Yu, the distance felt too long.
But to Gu Yue, it felt too short.
She leaned close to him, walking side by side,
their arms brushing countless times as they swung back and forth, yet somehow never quite touching.
Gu Yue’s eyes sparkled with a mix of anticipation and joy,
as if some chemical reaction had taken place,
making them bright and luminous.
From time to time, she would glance up at the guy beside her.
And every time she did,
her lips curled into an adorable pout, fighting back a smile.
