Hello, lovely readers! ^^
Sorry for the interruption, but we'd like you to help with a tiny request. It'd mean a lot to us if you're willing to spare 3 minutes to help with this poll on Ko-fi telling us what series brings you/which you read mostly on this site. Here's the link - https://ko-fi.com/polls/What-series-do-you-enjoy-the-most-on-our-site-Or-A0A71UA533 Thanks in advance! Bless you all. 💗
"What?"
Yuan Yuan was slightly dazed. A confession—could such a thing actually be predicted?
Even He Ye turned her head to look at Zhuang Jiang. Though she didn't speak, her face was clearly etched with several layers of doubt.
Zhuang Jiang, however, said nothing more. She simply crossed her arms, arched an eyebrow, and looked ahead at the young man dressed in a white shirt and jeans... walking closer and closer.
The smile on his face was brilliant, and his eyes were gentle. Yet, they carried a sense of serenity and steadiness that didn't seem to belong to his age.
Yuan Yuan and He Ye stopped in their tracks as well, following her gaze. They saw the person walking toward them from not far away—the legendary figure of the Medical School.
"Tang... Tang Tang Tang... Tang Qing? It’s actually Tang Qing!"
Yuan Yuan couldn't suppress her excitement; she gripped He Ye’s hand tightly and cried out in a low voice.
He Ye was also somewhat stunned. She watched as the man drew nearer, his gaze never straying from Jiangjiang for even a second. Recalling what Jiangjiang had just said, and noting how perfectly the two matched in appearance, He Ye let out a soft chuckle... She said nothing, only pulling Yuan Yuan back a few steps to yield this small patch of earth to the two of them.
Yuan Yuan was a bit dissatisfied and muttered softly, "Why are you pulling me? I still want to look at Male God Tang."
"Shh—"
He Ye felt a bit helpless. She shot the girl a look to keep her from leaving, then whispered into her ear: "Don't you want to know what Jiangjiang meant? Just watch, and you'll see."
Yuan Yuan let out a soft "Ah" and turned her gaze back to them.
Not far away, the two stood facing each other.
What kind of feeling was it?
It actually caused her lively heart to suddenly go still.
She thought for a long time before a few words popped into her head: "A gentle breeze under the sun; the years are quiet and good."
It was the image of a perfect match.
The fact that Zhuang Jiang and Tang Qing were standing together was already a topic bound to become headline news.
People watching from the sidelines picked up their phones to capture the scene. Some posted to their Friends Circles, some to Weibo, and some to class groups... some even uploaded it to the campus website with the caption: "The meeting of the Medical School’s hunk and the Art School’s beauty; a warm spring breeze brushes against an iceberg belle."
Zhuang Jiang looked at the person before her. Even having lived two lives, he was still the best-looking person she had ever seen—
Even Gu Yu couldn't compare to him.
Then, she watched him and heard him speak the very words from her memory.
"I am Tang Qing."
"I am Tang Qing."
"I have admired Student Zhuang for a long time."
"I have admired Student Zhuang for a long time."
"I wonder if Student Zhuang likes me too?"
"I wonder if Student Zhuang likes me too?"
...
"I wonder if Student Zhuang likes me too?"
As soon as those words fell, the entire area erupted.
A confession! It was actually a confession!
The Medical School's Tang Qing was actually confessing to the Art School's Zhuang Jiang at a time like this!
Yuan Yuan took the lead and shouted: "Accept him! Jiangjiang, Accept him!"
Then, He Ye followed suit: "Accept him! Accept him!"
And then, everyone began shouting toward them in unison: "Accept him! Accept him!"
Zhuang Jiang, however, did not speak.
She continued to watch the person before her with her arms crossed, watching his earlobes turn slightly red, watching the light in his eyes gradually begin to dim—
After a long while, a light chuckle rippled from her throat.
Zhuang Jiang raised her hand, silencing the crowd's shouting.
She took a step toward him. When she reached him, she reached out and tilted his chin up... then, she stood on her tiptoes and delivered a sentence into his ear: "I like Student Tang very much as well."
Tang Qing looked down at Zhuang Jiang.
There was surprise in his eyes, but when it touched the flowing smile at the corners of her eyes and brows—
It transformed into an irrepressible joy.
He called her name softly: "Jiangjiang."
"Mhm."
In the end, the three-person lunch didn't quite stay a three-person lunch.
Tang Qing joined their group and took them out for hotpot.
The place he chose wasn't far, just a few streets away, called "First Class Pot." It didn't look like anything special and didn't have many people, but the flavor was excellent.
During the meal, they chatted about many things. It was mostly Yuan Yuan talking while the other three listened...
By the time they were full and satisfied with wine and food, it was already late.
Yuan Yuan spoke while letting out a wine-induced hiccup: "It’s so nice. To be able to have a meal with a male god and a goddess right before leaving A-City."
"Yeah, th-this... I wouldn't have even dared to think of this in a dream before."
"So nice, it's really so nice."
After muttering this, she leaned groggily against He Ye’s shoulder and began to snore, looking completely drunk.
Zhuang Jiang set down her chopsticks and said to Tang Qing, "You go get the car first; I'll pay the bill."
Her tone was very familiar, without a hint of being a stranger.
Hearing this, Tang Qing gave a soft "Mhm" to Zhuang Jiang and said to the others, "It's cold outside; stay here for a while."
After saying this, he nodded to He Ye, stood up, and walked out.
The way the two interacted didn't seem like people meeting for the first time at all.
It was close and natural, making one feel a bit envious.
He Ye looked at Zhuang Jiang and smiled softly: "If I didn't know you, I would never believe this is your first time together."
Zhuang Jiang handed her card to the waiter, saying there was no password, before picking up the thread of He Ye's conversation: "Perhaps the two of us knew each other in a past life—"
These words were not a lie.
They truly did know each other in her past life, but they had never been together.
Even though that pair of jade-like, warm, smiling eyes would occasionally pop into her mind... they had never been together.
He Ye looked at her for a long time before saying: "Those who don't know you say you have a cold face and a cold heart. Only after being in contact with you does one realize your heart is warmer than anyone's."
"Jiangjiang, live a little more happily."
"He treats you very well."
Zhuang Jiang didn't speak. She simply took her card back and placed it in her bag.
Then, she looked at Tang Qing, who was walking in through the door, and said very flatly: "I know."
After saying this, she stood up, helped support Yuan Yuan on the other side, and said to Tang Qing: "Let's go."
By the time they reached the front of the A-University women's dormitory, Yuan Yuan had already woken up, wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth. Then, looking at Zhuang Jiang and Tang Qing sitting in the front, she let out a cry of shock as her face lost all color... only one thought occupied her mind: Drooling in front of a male god and a goddess—how do I fix this?
In the end, she said nothing, opened the car door with a mournful face, and walked out.
Seeing her state, He Ye smiled and said to Zhuang Jiang: "You two chat for a while longer; I'll accompany Yuan Yuan upstairs first."
Zhuang Jiang gave a soft "Mhm."
He Ye nodded to Tang Qing as well and got out of the car, leaving the space inside to the two of them alone.
Tang Qing looked at Zhuang Jiang and began to smile softly: "Jiangjiang."
Zhuang Jiang turned her head to look at him, arched an eyebrow, and gave a light "Mhm": "What is it?"
"I think…"
Tang Qing reached out and stroked her hair: "We must have known each other in a past life."
Zhuang Jiang’s body trembled. She didn't like being touched by others.
But she didn't dislike him.
She heard him continue: "Jiangjiang, it’s so good."
"I seem to like you even more than I imagined."
Zhuang Jiang reached out and covered his hand with hers.
Then, she lifted her face and looked at him without blinking, her smile proud and brilliant: "Mhm. I accept your love."
