Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love

Chapter 604: Chapter 602 I Also Want to Try Dating

"How boring." Si Wen gently shook her head. Taking the cup of water, she took a small sip of its warmth before gracefully sitting on the gently rocking chair. Her gaze drifted between the snowy view outside the window and Lin Xi, as if lost in thought.

She gazed at Lin Xi, an indescribable emotion welling up inside her. Ever since her best friend got engaged, Lin Xi has become even more stunning. It’s as if she’s shrouded in a happy glow, adding an irresistible allure that compels people to draw closer and explore her unique charm.

"Enchantress!" Si Wen suddenly blurted out, the word a mix of teasing and admiration.

Lin Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "What kind of description is that? Are you complimenting me or insulting me?"

Seeing her reaction, Si Wen’s smile grew even brighter. She sat on the swing, her feet pushing off the ground lightly, setting it into a gentle sway. "I’m complimenting you! You’re like one of those enchantresses from TV who can steal a person’s heart. But honestly, I think you’re far more captivating than they are—natural, genuine, and simply irresistible."

Lin Xi carefully refilled Si Wen’s cup with steaming water. "I’ll have Doctor Wu come over to check on you later. And while he’s at it, maybe he can check your brain."

"I’m already fully recovered."

But Lin Xi wasn’t having any of it. She turned and called Doctor Wu.

After hanging up, Lin Xi naturally picked up her sketchpad, immersing herself in her own world of art. For her, drawing manga had long become an indispensable part of her life, as natural as breathing.

Si Wen watched quietly from the side, long accustomed to such scenes. Sometimes, having something you’re passionate about is a wonderful thing. It was like that for her. When she had free time, she would go hang out at the trendy clothing store. Even if she did nothing but show her face, she felt great.

"How’s Xue Yang’s supermarket coming along?"

"The renovations are almost done. From what he says, he plans to open before the New Year."

Si Wen nodded and said nothing more. Xue Yang was full of ideas; you could never guess what he was planning to do next.

The two sat in the sunroom, enjoying the peaceful moment. The quiet was broken by the arrival of Sun Yufei, who breezed in, disturbing the tranquility. As she entered, she immediately asked Si Wen with concern, "Si Wen, I heard you were sick. Are you all right now?"

Si Wen smiled and nodded. "Yes, I’m fine now. Thanks for your concern."

Hearing this, a relieved smile bloomed on Sun Yufei’s face. She looked around, exclaiming, "Wow, your place is gorgeous! And you, boss lady, are even more so!"

Lin Xi, a bit embarrassed by the compliment, softly replied, "Thank you."

Sun Yufei seemed intensely curious about Lin Xi’s life. She sidled closer, her eyes twinkling with a gossipy light. "Boss lady, I have a question for you."

Amused by the sudden query, Lin Xi responded gently, "Sure, go ahead."

"So, what does being in a relationship actually feel like?" Sun Yufei’s words carried a hint of shyness and anticipation.

The question instantly brought a blush to Lin Xi’s cheeks. She coughed softly, trying to hide her discomfort. "Well... everyone’s experience is different. But generally, I guess it’s sweet and a little nerve-wracking. It’s like holding a little secret in your heart that you want to share but are also afraid of anyone finding out."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yufei’s eyes lit up as if a new world had opened to her. She pressed on, "So when the two of you are together, if you run out of things to talk about, does it get awkward or boring? How do you break the silence?"

Lin Xi thought for a moment, a gentle smile gracing her lips. "Actually, between true partners, you can feel each other’s comfort and warmth even in silence. But of course, we also share little things from our day or talk about our dreams and plans for the future. In short, as long as you’re together, there’s always something to talk about."

Sun Yufei listened, utterly enchanted, her eyes sparkling with a boundless longing for love, as if she were already lost in a romantic dream of her own making. "Hmm, I guess I need to go find a romance for myself."

Seeing this, Si Wen’s lips curved into a playful smile as she teased, "Senior, don’t tell me you want to start dating, so you came to Xiao Xi to get some pointers?"

At these words, a blush crept across Sun Yufei’s face. Her gaze shifted away as she laughed shyly. "You’re in a relationship, so as your senior, it’s only natural that I’d be thinking about it too."

This time, it was Si Wen’s cheeks that reddened. She bit her lip, retorting with a touch of embarrassment, "I am not in a relationship! Senior, don’t talk nonsense."

Seeing this, Sun Yufei’s smile grew even brighter. She winked playfully. "When I called you yesterday, I heard a few things, you know. Oh, by the way, where’s Xue Xing? I didn’t get to see him last time I was in Hui City. As the boss’s younger brother, he must be handsome, right? Let me see for myself!"

Sun Yufei’s gaze searched the villa, trying to spot Xue Xing.

Si Wen shook her head and explained, "Xue Xing went back to school yesterday. He’s a high school senior and has to focus on his studies, so he had to go back to class."

Hearing this, Sun Yufei feigned surprise. "Ohhh? Coming all this way to see you when he’s a senior? That’s not just a casual friendship. And you still say you aren’t dating? Who’d believe that?"

Si Wen laughed helplessly, emphasizing again, "Really, it’s not like that. We’re just good friends."

Sun Yufei’s expression remained sly, clearly not convinced by Si Wen’s answer.

Si Wen deliberately asked, "Are you here to check on me, or to see Xue Xing?"

Sun Yufei blinked and laughed. "Of course, to check on you... and to see Xue Xing while I’m at it."

Si Wen huffed and turned her head away, ignoring her.

Seeing this, Sun Yufei quickly tugged at her sleeve, cooing, "Alright, alright, don’t be mad, my little princess."

Although Si Wen didn’t turn back, the corners of her mouth crept upward, clearly amused by the teasing. She deliberately kept a straight face, trying to maintain her "angry" look a little longer, but she couldn’t help but smile to herself.

Seizing the moment, Sun Yufei pressed on, "Is it because that rascal Xue Xing hasn’t confessed to you yet? Is that why you’re so down? Don’t worry, next time I see him, I’ll be sure to give him a lesson and teach him a few tricks for winning a girl over."

"Senior..."

Sun Yufei smiled even more brightly, then her tone shifted, becoming serious again. "Okay, okay, last question, I promise. Then I’ll drop it. Is Xue Xing planning to get into Yanbei University for you?"
