Chapter 311: The Background Fiancée in a Campus Story (14)

A sip of ice water finally eased the burning sensation from the mouthful of wasabi.

Just as Cen Yinghuai was about to argue with Tang Qing, he suddenly spotted Cao Zhong!

"Young Master Cen, feasting like royalty, I see..." Cao Zhong, true to his role as the antagonist, spoke with a smarmy drip that grated on the nerves.

"You?"

The young master glared, displeased. "Still thirsty after gulping pool water last time?"

"Back for more humiliation?"

Those two sentences instantly brought back Cao Zhong’s humiliating memory of being kicked into the water, his expression darkening immediately!

Cao Zhong glanced at Tang Qing, who was eating, then said with a sinister smile, "Cen Yinghuai, are you siding with the transfer student now?"

"I stand where I want—"

"Since when do you give me orders?"

Cao Zhong scoffed. "Tch—call it a public service announcement..."

"The Cen family is prestigious. Wouldn’t want any bottom-feeders sneaking in."

"And you... Tang Qing, you’d better carb up. Otherwise, you won’t have the strength for that 3,000-meter run..."

Before he could continue, Cen Yinghuai suddenly stood up!

Cao Zhong didn’t even have time to react before Cen Yinghuai jammed a piece of sushi into his mouth!

Shutting him up with the sushi, Cen Yinghuai said expressionlessly, "You should eat more too."

"I just found out... this shuts up trash talk..."

The fuck—?!

Cao Zhong tried to spit it out, but the overwhelming spiciness nearly seared his lungs!

You psychotic—?!

What sadist doses sushi with this much wasabi?!

The wasabi tsunami hit—spitting and coughing violently, Cao Zhong staggered toward the water glass. Just as he reached for it, Tang Qing swiped it from under his fingers!

"Student Cao," Tang Qing said (mockingly), batting her eyelashes, "with your refined sensibilities, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to use a glass I’ve drunk from..."

With a sweet smile, Tang Qing dumped the water down the drain right in front of him!

"You—!"

"You two—!"

Gagging, Cao Zhong, his hand shaking like a leaf, pointed at the pair, his mouth a flamethrower, his face contorted like a gargoyle!

You fucking animals!

Bitch!

...

Because of Cao Zhong's appearance, this meal ended awkwardly.

After returning to the dormitory, Cen Yinghuai was surprised to find the dormitory door locked.

He even deliberately pulled it twice, grumbled, "Why's it locked?"

"Hey! Is anyone inside?"

After shouting twice, there was no response from inside the dormitory.

Cen Yinghuai got even more confused and mumbled, "Did the wind accidentally close it?"

Of course not.

At this time, the door being locked most likely meant Xin Ke was inside taking a shower...

Xin Ke probably locked the door to prevent any accidents.

Tang Qing thought of this and was about to find an excuse to get the rich kid out of there when suddenly...

The doorknob turned!

"Huh? Seems like it can be opened..."

Muttering to himself, Cen Yinghuai yanked the knob hard!

*Click—*

It flew open!

In an instant, they stared at each other, and Xin Ke was the first to scream!

"Ah—"

What the hell?! She had clearly locked the door! Why was it still opened?!

At least she had a towel on!

"Why scream so loudly—"

As she screamed, Cen Yinghuai instinctively rubbed his ears, he looked Xin Ke up and down before he spoke, "We're all dudes here (male), no big deal—"

Besides, Xin Ke was still wrapped in a towel...

You're covered—chill out.

As Xin Ke scrambled, Tang Qing acted swiftly, draped a blanket over her, completely covering Xin Ke.

Only after confirming she was completely covered did Xin Ke finally shout, furious!

"Cen Yinghuai, knock much?!"

"What? Since when do I knock for my own room?"

That's bullshit!

"Also, why lock the main door just to take a shower?" In Cen Yinghuai's mind, walking out buck naked wouldn’t even faze him!

It’s just a matter of who’s packing more—what’s the big deal?

No talking sense to him!

Unbelievable!

Total meathead!

Xin Ke was too flustered to snap back and could only glare at Cen Yinghuai with resentment!

"Staring won’t help, it’s not my fault anyway." The young master felt wrongly blamed and remained nonchalant. Suddenly, Cen Yinghuai noticed the exposed lower half of Xin Ke’s leg...

"Xin Ke, you’re pretty pale."

"And smooth too... not a single stubbly hair..."

Just as he was about to take a few more glances, Tang Qing suddenly reached out from behind and covered the eldest young master’s eyes!

"Hey—what gives with the blindfold act?"

Cen Yinghuai instinctively tried to pull Tang Qing’s hand away when a playful voice breathed right in his ear, "Cen eldest young master, I’m pretty pale too. Want to take a look?"

Tang Qing was way up in his space saying this!

It felt like someone was huffing warm air on his neck—an odd, ticklish sensation that made Cen Yinghuai involuntarily shrink back, hastily protesting, "Why the hell would I wanna check out your legs?"

"Get your hand off me!"

With how much shorter they were, Tang Qing was practically pressing against Cen Yinghuai, their skin touching. Cen Yinghuai could even smell that faint whatever-they-used...

After wriggling like crazy, Tang Qing might as well have superglued those hands. It took a while before Cen Yinghuai finally managed to pry his eyes open...

From the earlier mischief, Tang Qing’s hair was now slightly tousled, falling softly over their brows. But what stood out most were those bright, clear eyes, twinkling as they locked onto him.

"Not looking at legs anymore?" Tang Qing grinned, voice dripping with mischief.

Under that gaze, for some reason, Cen Yinghuai suddenly got full-body goosebumps!

He blurted out, "Dude legs are zero percent interesting..."

Besides, the idea of roommates sitting around comparing legs...

Just imagining it made Cen Yinghuai wanna bleach his brain!

Total brokeback moment!

Too busy short-circuiting, Cen Yinghuai completely failed to notice that Xin Ke, the center of the earlier topic, had already ghosted back to the bathroom...
