Song Jun spent the first day of the new year in depression. He didn’t even eat breakfast or lunch until dinner time. Xia Hongshen came and knocked on his door.
He didn’t want to open the door to Xia Hongshen at all, so he lay on the bed and pretended to be dead.
After a while, he saw the little black cat looking in from the window.
Song Jun had no choice but to let out a long sigh, get up, open the window, and let the little cat in.
There were too many things in life that could not go as planned. If one insisted on forcing them, more often than not, you would end up empty-handed after a hard struggle. It was better to let go and move on sooner rather than later.
While feeding the cat, Song Jun made up his mind. He decided to put aside these messy thoughts for the time being. While completing his studies seriously, he would go out to find some part-time jobs to try to save more money!
His first love ended before it even started.
Song Jun picked up the little black cat who was eating cat food, put his forehead against its forehead and rubbed it hard. The little black cat struggled a little at first, then calmed down and lay motionless in his arms.
On the second day of the New Year, Song Jun opened the door to his room.
Xia Hongshen, on the opposite side, opened the door immediately.
The awkwardness was still unavoidable, but Song Jun told himself to be calm; he must be calm. He greeted Xia Hongshen with a smile and said, “Happy New Year, Senior Brother Xia!”
Xia Hongshen looked at him without speaking.
Song Jun turned around, closed the door, and walked outside. After stepping onto the stairs, he raised his hand and patted his chest, telling himself to relax and not be nervous.
As soon as the seventh day of the Lunar New Year was over, although the school had not yet started, the closed shops outside gradually began to open for business again. Song Jun learned his lesson this time and did not find a job too far away from the campus. Instead, he found a job at a milk tea shop near the campus.
The owner of the cold drink shop was a middle-aged woman. Seeing Song Jun’s clean appearance, she asked him to greet customers and collect money at the front desk.
Song Jun went there at six o’clock every afternoon, got off work at eleven o’clock, and walked back to campus for a while.
After two days of working at a milk tea shop, another young girl came to work there. That young girl was also from Song Jun campus. She said she was a first-year graduate student in the Faculty of Pharmacy. Her name was Xi Anling.
The young girl was good-looking and cute and had a sweet mouth. After chatting with Song Jun, Song Jun discovered that she was actually Cheng Ruijing’s junior sister.
When Xi Anling first came here, she didn’t understand anything, so she always asked Song Jun obediently what to do this and what to do that.
Song Jun had a good temper and would help her whenever she had a problem.
After spending more than ten days together, the two of them quickly became familiar with each other.
When the school officially started, Bu Hui and Cheng Ruijing returned to campus. One day, Xi Anling asked Song Jun to have dinner together.
Song Jun thought it was a good idea and didn’t refuse. He made an appointment with Bu Hui and Cheng Ruijing, and the four of them had dinner together at a small restaurant outside the campus.
It was fine at the beginning of the meal, but later on, Bu Hui started making jokes about Song Jun and Xi Anling.
Song Jun was embarrassed by what he said and said, “Senior Brother Bu, don’t talk nonsense.”
Xi Anling just smiled obediently and poked at the bowl with her chopsticks.
After dinner that day, Bu Hui went to Song Jun’s room to find him and asked him, “What do you think of Xi Anling?”
Song Jun said, “She’s very cute.”
Bu Hui put an arm around his shoulders, “She didn’t have a boyfriend yet. What are you waiting for?”
Song Jun was stunned when he heard this.
Bu Hui said, “Don’t say that your senior brother isn’t helping you. I’ve already talked to senior sister Cheng to ask her to talk to Xianling. As long as everything is fine on that end, put in some extra effort and be more proactive. I think she finds you quite interesting. Don’t miss out on this.”
After saying that, Bu Hui patted Song Jun’s chest.
Song Jun wanted to say no, but Bu Hui didn’t listen to him and wanted to make things easier for the two of them, “You can give it a try to see if it’s a good fit. If it doesn’t work out, then just let it go.”
“But I…” Song Jun wanted to say that he had just fallen out of love and was not ready for a relationship.
But Bu Hui waved his hand and went to the water room with his own kettle.
Song Jun was struggling hard in his heart. He really didn’t want to get a girlfriend right now. He liked Xia Hongshen. Although he couldn’t say that he liked him to the point of death, the feeling was serious.
Xia Hongshen’s rejection was already obvious to him. He was not stuck in this feeling and couldn’t get out of it, but it didn’t mean that he could go back and be intimate with someone else immediately.
Xi Anling was a very cute girl. If it had been earlier, before Song Jun came to this campus, or before he fell in love with Xia Hongshen, he would have been happy to accept Bu Hui’s proposal, and maybe he would have taken the initiative to pursue Xi Anling, but now…
Song Jun felt very distressed. He would definitely not do what Bu Hui said about taking the initiative to make an appointment with Xi Anling, but Xi Anling might have something in mind, but he had no way to explain it.
Unexpectedly, Xi Anling took the initiative to find Song Jun in his dormitory the next day.
Xi Anling stood at the door of Song Jun’s room, poked her head in and said, “It’s good, one dormitory for one person.”
Song Jun had no choice but to say, “Please come in and sit down.”
Xi Anling was wearing a short skirt and long boots. She was petite and looked very good standing next to Song Jun. No wonder Bu Hui wanted to bring them together.
Song Jun had no reason to reject Xi Anling like this, but the only thing was that he didn’t like Xi Anling. However, he still invited Xi Anling to come in to sit down and pour her a glass of water.
Xi Anling found cat food in Song Jun’s room and was surprised, “Do you have a cat?”
Song Jun said, “No, it’s a little wild cat nearby. It often comes here to eat.”
Xi Anling was a little surprised when she heard this, “You are so kind.”
She spent the afternoon playing in Song Jun’s dormitory, and the two of them had to work together in the evening, so it was natural for them to go to the cafeteria to eat together.
When going out, Song Jun met Xia Hongshen who was coming back from outside.
Xia Hongshen’s eyes fell on Xi Anling.
Song Jun was a little embarrassed at first, but then he thought about it. Why should he be embarrassed? He didn’t owe him anything. Since he was rejected, it didn’t mean he couldn’t pursue a relationship with someone else, right?
Thinking of this, Song Jun felt a sigh of relief in his heart. He nodded to Xia Hongshen, “Senior Brother Xia.”
“Where to go?” Xia Hongshen asked.
Song Jun said, “To go out to eat.”
Xi Anling looked at Xia Hongshen and then smiled at him.
After hearing what Song Jun said, Xia Hongshen didn’t ask further questions and went back to his room.
From that day on, Xi Anling began to frequent Song Jun’s dormitory. Song Jun had always felt that the relationship between the two of them was a bit unclear. To say they were lovers, but they had never confessed their feelings to each other. But it was not like they were ordinary friends; it seemed odd for a female friend to visit a male dormitory so frequently.
But no matter what, Song Jun was in a very passive position in this relationship from the beginning. He often thought seriously and felt that he could consider his relationship with Xi Anling.
One night, neither of them went to work. Xi Anling was surfing the internet at Song Jun’s place. At about nine o’clock, she stood up and prepared to leave.
Song Jun sent her out, and when he walked outside the door, Xi Anling suddenly said to him, “No need to send me off. I can go back by myself.”
Song Jun said, “It’s okay, I’ll walk you.”
Xi Anling stood face to face with him, looked at him and said, “Can I be your girlfriend?”
Song Jun was stunned. Xi Anling hadn’t mentioned this issue for so long. Now that she suddenly mentioned it, Song Jun couldn’t react for a while.
Xi Anling put her hands behind her back, waiting expectantly for his answer.
Song Jun hesitated. He couldn’t bear to refuse, but he was not willing to accept it from the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly, Xi Anling closed her eyes and slowly approached him to kiss him.
Song Jun was stunned. His head was spinning rapidly, hesitating between avoiding or reaching out to push Xi Anling away. Suddenly, a mobile phone came between the two of them, blocking Xi Anling’s kiss.
Xi Anling opened her eyes and saw that it was Xia Hongshen holding a mobile phone in his hand, blocking the two of them.
Song Jun was so nervous before that he didn’t even notice when Xia Hongshen appeared.
Xia Hongshen said, “Stop messing around.”
Xi Anling looked at him with confusion.
Song Jun felt confused at first and didn’t know what was going on. Then he suddenly felt angry and said, “I’m not messing around! I’m serious!”
After saying that, Song Jun held Xi Anling’s hand and said to Xia Hongshen, “She is my girlfriend, and we are officially together.”
Xia Hongshen was not angry or sad; there was no expression that Song Jun expected on his face. He just said in a very calm tone, “You two aren’t suitable for each other.”
Song Jun said, “What’s not suitable? Besides, it’s none of your business!”
After he finished speaking, he took Xi Anling’s hand and walked quickly outside. However, Xi Anling was still a little strange and kept looking back at Xia Hongshen.
With entanglement and depression in his heart, Song Jun made up his mind not to talk to Xia Hongshen anymore. He decided to seriously be in a relationship with Xi Anling. This kind of relationship should be his first relationship, not those hopeless fantasies.
Although he was thinking this, when Song Jun sent Xi Anling back to the dormitory that night, he still felt very uncomfortable and in a really bad mood.
The little black cat hadn’t come to see him for several days. It seemed that since Xi Anling came here often, the little black cat didn’t come often.
He opened the window, but it was dark outside, and he couldn’t see anything. After searching for a while, he couldn’t find the little black cat. Song Jun suddenly felt tired and wondered if love would come, so he closed the window and stopped looking for it.
