NOVEL NEXT Chapter 30
Chapter 30: The Cold Campus Belle is History:
“Why are hundreds of students dumbfounded? Why is the laughing basketball court suddenly silent? Is it the degeneration of morality or the distortion of human nature?”
“The cold campus belle is now history; this person shows you that there’s no woman in this world you can’t win over!”
“Techniques to capture a high and cold flower—from beginner to expert. Let’s delve into the heart of Master Qin.”
On the campus forum of the University of Finance, a flood of posts appeared, making the entire forum buzz with excitement.
In the video, Ji Yan rushed into Qin Luo’s arms under countless gazes, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him, while Qin Luo, the person involved, looked utterly bewildered.
And after their lips parted, Ji Yan’s sudden smile captivated countless people.
“No wonder she’s called the campus belle. That smile, I’m in love.”
“I think I’ve missed out on my chance like King You of Zhou did.”
“Nothing to say, I’ve taken a screenshot. I’ll never change my wallpaper.”
“Give up, everyone above. She has already thrown herself at him; you have no chance.”
“Why did it have to turn out like this? Why wasn’t I the one being kissed!”
“Thinking back, I confessed to the campus belle once too, but after being ignored, I never dared to confess again. I regret it so much now!”
“Don’t mention it, brother. I had a golden opportunity to pursue the campus belle, but I didn’t cherish it. I only completed 1% and gave up. If I had another chance, I’d go all the way, no matter how hard it got!”
“Pah, cold campus belle? She’s not reserved at all. Doing such things in front of so many people, it’s just disgraceful!”
“Exactly. She ignored so many confessions, but now that people want to give up, she takes the initiative? So unfair!”
“She only realized our Qin Luo is great now. So hypocritical.”
“Wretched woman, let go of Qin Luo and let me have him!”
Boys and girls left comments on the forum, and in just a few hours, the news spread across the entire campus.
First, there was Qin Luo’s impressive dunk, followed by Ji Yan’s public kiss, which caught everyone’s attention.
That day, the whole school was abuzz with discussions about the two of them.
…
(In dorm room 606)
Hao Meng and Shi Yulu were filled with excitement.
Being among those who had watched the scene closely, the impact on them was far stronger than on those who had only seen the video.
Especially since they had known Ji Yan for so long, they knew her cold demeanor wasn’t an act but a deep-seated aloofness.
Yet, this woman had thrown herself at a man and even kissed him on tiptoe.
The impact of this scene on them was enormous.
After kissing Qin Luo, Ji Yan fled back to the dorm, and they quickly followed, supporting Jia Ting.
Back in the dorm, their hearts still pounding with excitement, they couldn’t stop talking to Ji Yan.
“Ahhh! Ji Yan, you’re incredible! How did you dare do that?”
“Tell us, tell us! What does kissing feel like? How does it feel? Come on, speak up!”
Sitting on either side of Ji Yan, they resembled curious kids watching their first movie, their faces lit up with joy and curiosity.
Ji Yan said nothing. She hugged a pillow and buried her face in it, too embarrassed to look at anyone.
Not only did others not understand why she did that, even she felt she might have gone mad in the moment.
She didn’t know why she did it; her heartbeat just sped up several times over.
Watching the smiling man on the court, memories of Qin Luo repeatedly confessing to her flashed in her mind, along with the scene of him blocking the basketball for her, and Qin Luo forcefully making the crew-cut guy apologize…
All these thoughts overwhelmed her, causing confusion in her mind and heart.
She didn’t think, she just wanted to be close to Qin Luo and release her emotions.
When she returned to her senses, she found herself kissing him.
That moment left her mind blank.
She hadn’t expected her first kiss in 20 years to happen like this.
Her feelings were a mess—shyness, nervousness, panic, and relief.
But there was no regret, which was why she smiled at Qin Luo before leaving.
That smile seemed to express her feelings to him once again, sharing her state of mind.
However, having done such an embarrassing thing in front of everyone, she couldn’t easily get over it with her personality.
Hao Meng and Shi Yulu kept pestering her with questions, but Ji Yan remained silent.
The two girls pouted, saying she wasn’t being fair by not sharing this with her close friends, then went to the side and started browsing the forum on their phones.
They giggled while browsing, like animated weights.
Jia Ting stayed silent. Unlike Ji Yan, whose silence stemmed from uncontrollable shyness, Jia Ting seemed burdened with thoughts.
She glanced at Ji Yan repeatedly. Her gaze was a mix of confusion over Ji Yan’s actions and a strange emotion she couldn’t name.
This emotion puzzled Jia Ting, as she couldn’t understand what she was feeling.
Rationally, she knew she should be happy for her friend, since Ji Yan had always liked Qin Luo and had finally taken a bold step. This was a cause for celebration.
So she smiled and said to Ji Yan, “Congratulations, Ji Yan.”
Ji Yan finally looked up, glanced at Jia Ting, and said, “I didn’t know what I was thinking then. I just reacted and ran over… Was I embarrassing?”
Jia Ting shook her head. “Not at all. You were very brave.”
“Really…” Ji Yan seemed relieved, then apologized, “I’m sorry, Jia Ting. I questioned you about Qin Luo taking you to the medical room before. I didn’t mean anything by it, just got a bit sensitive. Don’t be mad.”
Jia Ting smiled, “Why would I be? We’re friends. Everyone knows you like Qin Luo. I won’t be mad. Besides, what you did today will surely leave a deep impression on Qin Luo. Maybe you two will end up together.”
Perhaps feeling hopeful about ‘ending up together,’ Ji Yan smiled and started browsing the forum on her phone to see what everyone was saying.
At first, she saw videos of Qin Luo’s dunk and her kissing him, making her too embarrassed to watch.
Then she scrolled further…
“Hmm?” Ji Yan’s expression changed, her eyes narrowing.
Jia Ting noticed and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Ji Yan looked at her, then turned the phone screen towards her.
Jia Ting’s eyes twitched.
The screen showed a photo of Qin Luo holding Jia Ting in a princess carry…
