My classmate seems to want to have s*x with me - Chapter 44

Ding Chen quickly walked back to Qiu Yanzhen’s room. As soon as she opened the door, everyone inside turned to look at her.

“Baby, are you back?” Li Jiaying said with a wink.

Liu Ruoqing pinched her throat and said, “Baby, why are you in such a hurry? Why are you panting like this?”

Ding Chen was blushing from being teased, and Qiu Yanzhen wasn’t much better off. She explained to Ding Chen, who was awkwardly standing at the door, “Sorry, they were next to me while I was on the phone.”

Zhang Yiting didn’t tease her, but she was still laughing maliciously. As for Zhou Qian’an, Ding Chen couldn’t even be bothered to look; she could imagine the other person’s expression with her knee.

Blood rushed to her face, and Ding Chen’s cheeks felt like they were on fire. She stayed quiet for a long time before finally giving in and shouting, “Only Qiu Yanzhen can call me ‘baby’!”

Then, she pulled open the bathroom door and slipped inside.

The crowd outside the bathroom was taken aback by Ding Chen’s unexpected shout. After a few seconds of silence, Li Jiaying and Liu Ruoqing couldn’t hold back their laughter first, and Zhang Yiting, who held out a few more seconds, finally burst into laughter too, though not as loudly as the other two.

“Isn’t she just too cute?” Liu Ruoqing laughed, her hand continuously patting Li Jiaying’s thigh, “I’m going crazy, hahaha…”

Ding Chen’s shout also shocked Qiu Yanzhen. She tried hard to suppress her laughter, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but lift, joy bubbling up from her chest like bubbles, ultimately making her unable to resist breaking into a radiant smile.

Compared to the few people who were laughing heartily, Zhou Qian’an’s expression was more subtle. She had never thought that Ding Chen could be associated with cuteness, so the earlier scene was somewhat shocking to her. She always felt it was strange to see Ding Chen’s cute side, but it was also very funny.

“Alright, if my girlfriend were this cute, I probably wouldn’t be able to resist kissing her on the street either,” Liu Ruoqing said to Qiu Yanzhen with a look that said, “I forgive you.”

“What are you, a straight girl, talking about?” Li Jiaying ruthlessly pointed it out.

“I’ll go check on her.” Qiu Yanzhen only laughed for a moment, worried that Ding Chen had been teased too much.

Walking to the bathroom door, she bent her knuckles and was about to knock, but the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside. The bathroom still retained the steam from their recent shower, and the air was damp.

“Scared me.” Ding Chen instinctively took a step back, her bangs and sideburns damp, looking like she had just splashed water on her face to cool down.

Ding Chen looked at her, her expression unchanged, but Qiu Yanzhen still asked with concern, “Are you okay?”

Hearing Qiu Yanzhen’s genuine concern, Ding Chen immediately stiffened her expression, looking like she needed someone to comfort her.

Qiu Yanzhen almost burst out laughing. She stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her, blocking the view and sound from the other people in the room.

“Are you angry?”

“I’m not angry,” Ding Chen replied with a haughty demeanor, crossing her arms and glaring at Qiu Yanzhen’s beaming face.

Qiu Yanzhen’s beaming smile was like she had just won the jackpot. She cupped Ding Chen’s face in her hands and kissed her a few times.

“Alright, alright, they’re still outside.” Ding Chen’s face had just cooled down, but it was starting to heat up again. She pushed her overly excited girlfriend with a flushed face.

Qiu Yanzhen obediently composed herself, and after hugging for a while longer, they both pushed the door open and walked out of the bathroom. When the others saw them come out, they all had curious expressions, but they didn’t make a fuss like before; after all, the joke had gone too far.

It won’t be good.

They sat on the bed with Zhou Qian’an, who had already taken a shower. Ding Chen still felt a bit awkward and took out her phone, pretending to check messages.

The other people finished their previous conversation and turned back to gossip about Ding Chen and Qiu Yanzhen. Seeing Ding Chen pretending to be busy with her phone, they then focused on Qiu Yanzhen sitting next to her.

Originally quietly listening to everyone talk, Qiu Yanzhen was puzzled by the sudden attention, “What’s wrong?”

“I think you should give us an explanation.” Liu Ruoqing said with a straight face, pretending to be serious.

Li Jiaying nodded along, “Why didn’t we know you had a girlfriend?”

“You didn’t even ask,” Qiu Yanzhen said nonchalantly, “and Yiting knows.”

“Ah, no, don’t mention me,” Zhang Yiting hurriedly waved her hand when she was called out. “I just asked because you all seemed off, didn’t expect my intuition to be so spot on.”

She has known Qiu Yanzhen for quite a while. At first, she didn’t think much of Qiu Yanzhen always paying attention to Ding Chen. It wasn’t until recently that she noticed Qiu Yanzhen’s demeanor was very different when interacting with Ding Chen. During the days when Ding Chen didn’t go to the tutoring class, she secretly asked Qiu Yanzhen, and Qiu Yanzhen didn’t hide anything and confessed.

Zhang Yiting even suspected that Qiu Yanzhen was actually looking forward to others asking about her relationship with Ding Chen. After learning this secret, about nine out of ten sentences in Qiu Yanzhen’s conversations with her were related to Ding Chen, and she was almost numb to it.

She would love for someone to share the burden, but she also feels that this matter shouldn’t be casually spread around.

“I thought you two were just very good friends,” Liu Ruoqing said.

“Yeah, how could we have thought to ask?” Li Jiaying agreed, looking suspiciously at Zhang Yiting, “How did you figure out they had a problem?”

“…their eyes?” Zhang Yiting said somewhat uncertainly, “It’s just that their atmosphere feels strange.”

This kind of behavior makes it seem like you’re guilty in the eyes of others. Li Jiaying squinted her eyes and said, “You have a problem.”

“Isn’t it just the two of us who are straight women here?” Liu Ruoqing was awakened by Li Jiaying’s question that broke through her blind spot.

Zhou Qian’an, who was suddenly dismissed as a straight woman: “……?”

Qiu Yanzhen saw Zhou Qian’an hesitating to speak and said, “And there’s Qian’an too.”

Liu Ruoqing suddenly fell silent as if she was thinking about something, and after a few seconds, she said, “Is Zhou Qian’an a straight woman?”

Ding Chen raised her head, her eyes slightly widening.

Got gossip?

“Otherwise?” Zhou Qian’an was puzzled; she couldn’t remember doing anything that would lead people to misunderstand her sexual orientation.

“Then why do you blush when I talk to you?” Liu Ruoqing recalled the times she and Zhou Qian’an talked, and the things that seemed fine before now felt off.

“Pfft…” Ding Chen couldn’t hold back her laughter and the more she laughed, the more unrestrained she became.

Zhou Qian’an glared at her fiercely and kicked her in the calf.

Ding Chen was laughing uncontrollably on Qiu Yanzhen’s shoulder. Zhou Qian’an, who was always immersed in novels and showed no interest in others, was already funny enough being pursued by the social terror Liu Ruoqing. It was even more amusing because she blushed and was misunderstood to be interested in girls due to her discomfort with her excessive enthusiasm…

Ding Chen is really about to faint from laughing.

“I’ve never liked anyone.” Zhou Qian’an said somewhat stiffly, “I didn’t blush either.”

Ding Chen laughed even louder.

“Stop laughing.” Qiu Yanzhen pinched Ding Chen’s nape.

“But this is really, hahaha… really funny.” Ding Chen stifled her laughter for a moment, then while still laughing, she whispered the story of Zhou Qian’an being “harassed” by Liu Ruoqing into Qiu Yanzhen’s ear.

Qiu Yanzhen couldn’t help but chuckle modestly, and the two whispered to each other as if no one else was around. When they finally looked up, they only received strange glances from others.

“I used to think you two were just good friends,” Liu Ruoqing said.

Li Jiaying sarcastically said, “Your eyes were already blind.”

Liu Ruoqing retorted, “As if you’re not.”

Zhou Qian’an secretly breathed a sigh of relief; at least the focus of the entire audience was no longer on her.

Qiu Yanzhen and Ding Chen felt a bit awkward, but it wasn’t long before Liu Ruoqing brought up a new topic, although it still revolved around the two of them.

A few people were interrogating the two as if they were suspects, asking when they got together, who confessed first, and whether they had kissed.

“Then what do you like about her?” Liu Ruoqing asked Qiu Yanzhen with great interest.

Ding Chen had already been made red-faced by the previous questions, but Qiu Yanzhen remained calm. After a moment of thought, she honestly answered, “Very considerate, very attentive, cute, and understanding…”

Qiu Yanzhen was counting one by one, but halfway through, her mouth was suddenly covered by a hand.

“Enough.” Being confessed to like this in front of everyone was really unbearable for Ding Chen; she felt like she was about to explode if she heard any more.

Liu Ruoqing hadn’t finished listening before being interrupted, and she said unhappily, “Then let you answer, what do you like about Qiu Yanzhen?”

Ding Chen stammered for a long time without being able to form a complete sentence. Finally, under the pressure of everyone’s gaze, she barely managed to squeeze out an answer, “……the way she smiles.”

Compared to any outward appearance of character, this answer had an even more indescribable quality. Qiu Yanzhen, who had seemed relatively calm on the surface, also blushed and averted her gaze from the eyes of others.

“I told you, the way Qiu Yanzhen smiles at her is completely different from the way she smiles at us,” observer Zhang Yiting added loudly.

“Wow.”

“I’ve hit the jackpot.”

“Ahhh! Can’t we talk about something else?” Ding Chen finally couldn’t take it anymore, lay back on the bed, and buried her face in the blanket.

“Otherwise, do you want to play cards? I have some.” Zhou Qian’an, rarely having a conscience, helped Ding Chen out.

“No way, don’t you guys have anything about relationships to talk about?” Ding Chen got up and glanced at a few people.

How can it be that only she and Qiu Yanzhen are suffering!

Li Jiaying: “No, not really.”

Liu Ruoqing: “I like Xu Guanghan.”

Zhou Qian’an: “I like Natsume Sōseki.”

The three people who had already answered turned their gazes towards Zhang Yiting.

“Why? I don’t have it either.”

The few of them gossiped about their classmates for a while, chatting about everything under the sun until it was almost time for roll call. It was only then that Ding Chen and Zhou Qian’an went back to their rooms and stopped.

“Good night.” Qiu Yanzhen stood by the door to see Ding Chen off, her voice gentle, but her eyes held a hint of sorrow.

Ding Chen is not completely oblivious, but the time and place are not quite suitable for discussing this matter.

“Good night.” That’s all she could reply.
