Absolutely Spoiled - Chapter 41.4

Chapter 41.4

“Hello author,” Yan Xi smiled sweetly at Yu Zhiyi and whispered.

Yu Zhiyi: “…”

What would happen when a popular beauty blogger and a novel author met reality—and both of them were fans of each other?

“Dear author, remember to update when you return to the university. Before Yan Xi left, she patted Yu Zhiyi’s shoulder and said.

Yu Zhiyi: ‘It’s over. I feel like my secret will soon be discovered.’

****

Other freshman students were curious why a senior student talked with Yu Zhiyi enthusiastically, so when Yu Zhiyi came back to the group, they couldn’t stop asking, “Hey, did you get to know that senior sister just after coming to C University?”

Yu Zhiyi didn’t give a clear answer. She just said, “One of my friends asked that senior sister to bring something for me.”

Yu Zhiyi gave a few extra things Shi Yi sent to her roommates. She understood why Shi Yi sent extra things. She was in a new environment without any familiar people, so it was good if she could build a positive relationship with others. But she didn’t think that Shi Yi would ask beauty blogger Xi for help. ‘Wow, what a lucky chance.’

There were only four days left to go back, and she felt it would be really difficult to stay those few days here. ‘I wonder how Shi Yi is doing in school.’

****

The students in the Department of Computing finished their military training before Yu Zhiyi’s department.

The boys in Shi Yi’s dorm liked to play games, so they quickly clicked together.

In the first year of university, students had to participate in self-study in the afternoon. But as no one was supervising them, many students in the class engaged in playing games with their phones.

He Weiran at the front turned around and asked the people behind him, “Brother Yi, after the evening self-study is over later, can you wait in line?”

Shi Yi moved the book and replied, “Anything is okay.”

A girl with short hair came over and sat in the empty seat next to He Weiran.

One student made a joke and said, “Hey, Ke Xue is here again.”

Ke Xue was one of the few girls in their class.

They all knew that He Weiran and Ke Xue went to the same high school together. At first, they thought the two were in a romantic relationship, but they were not; they were just good friends.

Because Ke Xue was outgoing and good at playing games, she became friends with the boys easily.

“Let’s play together today,” she said to He Weiran.

“I just scheduled a meeting with Brother Yi. I’m waiting for him, so maybe another day.”

“Hey, there are already four people in the dorm; can I join too?”

“Okay,” He Weiran agreed to Ke Xue’s request. 

*****

In the evening, the game started.

Ke Xue and the other boys chatted while playing the game, but Shi Yi did not turn on his microphone.

“Hey, Brother Yi, just switch on the microphone and start talking. Then we can play better, Ke Xue said. 

Shi Yi sent a message. [No need.]

He Weiran, who had understood Shi Yi’s personality, calmed the situation by saying, “The leaders are not saying anything. In any case, we all live in the same dormitory. If something happens, we will shout.”

Ke Xue had to quit bothering Shi Yi.

While she was playing, she talked about some funny jokes she saw on the Internet. She asked, “Oh, have you seen that joke that has been very popular on the Internet recently? It’s about the requirements for finding a girlfriend from freshman to senior year.”

“No,” one of the boys said.

“Oh~it’s like this. Listen.

Freshman, brother, please introduce me to a beautiful girl.

Sophomore year: Brother, introduce me to a girl.

Junior: Brother, do you have any girls?

Senior: Brother, come here!”

At the end of the sentence, Ke Xue laughed, and everyone else laughed too.

But Shi Yi’s face didn’t change like he didn’t care at all.

Ke Xue added. “In our computer department, apart from Senior Jiang, who is a junior student, the most popular person now is Brother Yi, right?”

He felt good and said, “Yeah… The girls will come to us if they want our phone numbers.”

Ke Xue smiled and said, “There are many pretty girls in our school. Brother Yi, do you have any girls you like? If so, we can help you.”

At that moment, the word “victory” appeared on the screen.

Shi Yi removed his earphones and said, “I don’t want to play anymore.”

Roommate A: “Why? Didn’t you say you would play the whole afternoon?”

Shi Yi said, “It’s noisy.”

He said, “…”

‘Good thing the microphone isn’t on. If a girl hears this, where will you lose your face?’

The battle went on for about an hour and a half, and after Shi Yi left, others also ended up playing games for a day.

After some time, He Weiran got a message from Ke Xue. Shi Yi’s birthday seems to be coming soon. Please confirm it for me and don’t let him know it was me who asked.

He Weiran may have known what Ke Xue was thinking, so he wanted to help her because they had been friends for three years. He asked, “Is your birthday coming up soon, Shi Yi?”

“Yeah.”

“When?”

“September 22nd.”

“That’s this Saturday. Do you want to go out and celebrate?”

“I have plans for Saturday, and I’ll take you to dinner another day.”

He told Ke Xue this information.

Ke Xue said, “I have a thought. There will be no self-study on Friday night. Let’s start celebrating his birthday early. If it’s postponed until midnight, we can celebrate it on the exact day.”

The 18th birthday was important in a person’s life.

Ke Xue booked a KTV in the city in advance and made up her mind to have Shi Yi attend.

***

The day military training was over, Yu Zhiyi and others came back to the university.

“I’m finally back. It’s the first time I miss school so much.” The girl sitting next to Yu Shiyi, who was called Zhong Jingxuan, exclaimed. She was one of Yu Zhiyi’s roommates.

Yu Zhiyi’s seat was by the window. Looking at the distant scenery through the transparent window, Yu Zhiyi felt a little excited in her heart.

Zhong Jingxuan asked, “Yiyi, does your mobile phone still have power? Can I borrow it?”

Yu Zhiyi shook her head. “No more.”

As soon as she got the phone, she sent a message to Shi Yi, but at that time, the phone automatically switched off due to being out of battery power and there was no time to charge it. So she still didn’t know if Shi Yi saw the message.

When they returned to school, they had to come together as a group. A bunch of students wearing matching clothes stood outside, and it was hard to see who was who.

The teachers who had been with the students for ten days said goodbye to them, and some of the students cried because they didn’t want them to leave. 

The team disbanded, and everyone went to their dorms.

Yu Zhiyi walked with three friends, and they were talking and laughing. “Finally free…”

“Yes, yes, if I don’t come to university quickly, I have to disappear.”

Yu Zhiyi was really worried. She walked with them for a little while and then started running after saying, “I’m going back to the dormitory first.”

Others saw her quickly walking away, and they asked, “Are you very excited to go back to the dorm?”

Yu Zhiyi was feeling worried because she wanted to hurry back to the dorm and charge her phone. She needed to do this so that she could contact Shi Yi.

But just as she was about to rush through the dorm entrance, a slender arm stretched out from beside her and grabbed her arm.

Yu Zhiyi was surprised and turned around. His eyes were shining as she called out, “Brother!”

“Come with me,” Shi Yi said as he took her hand and led her around two corners until they were standing under the big tree.

People were walking around them, but hardly anyone paid attention to her.

“Brother, did you read the message I sent to you?”

“Um.” 

“My phone was out of battery, and I’m not sure if you saw what I sent. I just wanted to go back and plug it in.”

“Are you very worried?”

“Yes, I’m afraid you didn’t see it!” She hadn’t seen him for ten days, and she hadn’t spoken for ten days.

“It looks like Yiyi really wanted to see me.”

“I didn’t.” She felt a little shy, and she still wanted to hide her denial.

Shi Yi leaned towards Yu Zhiyi, touched the girl’s red cheeks, and looked deeply into her eyes. “Brother misses you too, okay?” His throat was dry, as he said.
