Chapter 17 Others Say Disgusting, She Says Comforting

“What are you browsing? Smiling so happily?”
“Still the last soccer match—Shen Junxi and Su Niansheng’s interaction in the pre-match video is so sweet! I watch them in the forum every day, almost a CP fan!”
“The post below says they don’t know each other at all. Maybe a cheer segment designed for the match—don’t get too into it.”
“Nonsense, they know each other! Someone said at the gym before: Shen Shao was boxing, Su Niansheng went to watch and called him ‘Jun Ge’—ahhhh, just thinking about that scene is so sweet!”
Jun Ge?
Lin Yixuan passed the anime corner, hearing their chat, stopping in her tracks.
No wonder Shen Shao knows her—she took the initiative to seduce him! Seems being reserved loses to shamelessness. She can’t take it slow anymore.
“What a pity—the Sky Bow that just dropped was taken by Zhong Zhe. Jun Ge, next time it’ll be my turn?”
“You’re just a side character—what equipment do you need?”
“That’s enough—you got a good deal, still acting innocent!”
Guomao Building: Duan Chengyu followed Zhong Zhe. Behind them, a casual boy carried a backpack with one hand. His jet-black, spiky short hair glowed under the sun, exuding a dazzling aura—just a distant look made hearts race.
Lin Yixuan held her drink, nervous, lowering her head as she walked straight toward them.
As they passed, her foot suddenly 崴 (twisted), and she swayed, falling toward the boy. He dodged in time, but her drink spilled widely, soaking his bag.
Thick yellow-green liquid, a blurry mess.
Duan Chengyu heard the noise, turned—just in time to see the scene, letting out a long “Sss——”.
Jun Ge has severe mysophobia.
“Sorry, sorry!”
Lin Yixuan half-fell, half-knelt on the ground, lifting her head slightly to look up at him—eyes full of guilt and pitifulness.
“What’s wrong with you? Can’t you watch where you’re going…”
Duan Chengyu intended to scold her, but seeing that expression, couldn’t bring himself to.
Why does she look like the victim?
Zhong Zhe glanced, quickly seeing through the trick—college students still playing such low-level games?
“Junxi, you okay?”
“Sorry, it’s all my fault. Give me the bag—I’ll clean it, Jun Ge.”
Her soft, shy “Jun Ge” made the boy, who’d only slightly frowned, lose his composure—his aura turning colder than ice.
He took out the books inside, threw the bag into the trash, and left.
The whole time, not a glance at her, not a word.
Lin Yixuan was instantly embarrassed, at a loss.
How could this be?
Totally not what she imagined!
Clearly, people at the anime corner said Su Niansheng met Shen Shao by calling “Jun Ge”—so why now…
“Jun Ge, Jun Ge.”
Duan Chengyu sensed Shen Junxi’s anger, hurried after—nearly hit by the thrown book.
“Shut up!”
“Why are you mad at me? I didn’t spill the drink on your bag.”
“It’s not you blabbering ‘Jun Ge’ every day—now anyone can say it. Disgusting, right?”
Anyone?
Lin Yixuan vaguely heard, tightening her empty drink cup.
These years, she created countless chances to meet him, appear before him—does he have no impression of her at all?
“Don’t call that again.”
“But…”
Duan Chengyu was suddenly choked.
He never expected his address to be the trigger.
“If not Jun Ge, then what?”
“Call dad.”
“Heh!” Duan Chengyu sneered, suddenly remembering. “No—last time the campus belle called at the gym, why didn’t you find it disgusting? You were so considerate and caring toward her.”
Shen Junxi’s gloomy face softened a bit at the mention of Su Niansheng, a slight curve at his thin lips. “Others say disgusting—she says comforting.”
“Tsk! Total womanizer. Zhong Zhe, let’s go—ignore this guy with only the opposite sex, no humanity!”
Su Niansheng!
Again Su Niansheng…
Why does she steal the spotlight everywhere, always one step ahead!
Fine with other things—even the person she likes, she won’t let go!
Lin Yixuan’s drink cup nearly deformed in her hand, like the hatred in her eyes.
Since she can’t get what she wants, Su Niansheng won’t be proud with Shiyu Bai either!

Basketball court.
“Zhong Zhe, catch!”
“Wait…” Zhong Zhe stopped, nodding toward the distance. “Junxi, is that Su Niansheng?”
Shen Junxi turned, spotting the girl walking out of the library.
“It’s her.”
As he spoke, the corners of his eyes curved.
Walking toward the court exit, he called out loudly, “Su Xiaoqian!”
She didn’t reply to his messages—so she went to the library to study? When did she become so proactive?
“Oooo, Su Xiaoqian—calling so sweetly?”
Duan Chengyu held the ball, winking at Zhong Zhe—who held his phone, looking worried.
The boy’s voice was loud and passionate, with an unconscious tenderness and magnetism—so penetrating it drew glances from passersby.
But the person called was indifferent, as if hearing nothing, walking on.
Duan Chengyu saw this, awkwardly moving closer. “She didn’t hear?”
Yeah right!
His voice was so loud, even students in the adjacent teaching building craned their necks curiously.
But the boy believed this ridiculous idea, raising his voice again.
“Xiaoqian!”
This time, the girl didn’t look over—instead, quickened her pace, her fleeing back as if avoiding suspicion.
The boy’s eyes froze.
“Uh…”
This time, Duan Chengyu didn’t know how to comfort him, forced himself to be honest. “Jun Ge, she seems to ignore you. Could Zhong Zhe be right?”
Last time, Zhong Zhe said at the gym: Junxi, are you sure she’s not using you? A new forum post—Su Niansheng spent a million chasing Shiyu Bai, topping the trending list.
This time, Zhong Zhe took out his phone. “New post: After the soccer match, Shiyu Bai and Su Niansheng took the same elective, exchanged gifts.”
“Oh~”
Duan Chengyu suddenly realized, patting the ball.
“So the campus belle is blatantly using Jun Ge to make Shiyu Bai jealous, then get closer to him? That’s too much…”
As soon as “too much” left his mouth, he felt a death glare from the boy beside him. “One more word, I’ll twist your head off and kick it like a ball.”
“…”
Duan Chengyu immediately zipped his mouth shut.
No way?
The campus belle’s intentions are obvious—Jun Ge still defends her, so deep in it?
