Chapter 395: Chapter 395: She Has Her Eyes on Shen Yi
At noon, the North City University cafeteria was bustling with activity. The lines for the windows with the best food were especially long. Shen Yi found an empty table for Qin Jiao to sit at, then squeezed into the crowd by himself to get lunch for them both.
Qin Jiao sat there, flipping through a textbook Shen Yi had left on the table. It was for an introductory Computer Science course, so it wasn’t too hard to understand.
"Qin Jiao, is anyone sitting next to you?" Gu Yunqi and his roommate had also just come for lunch. Seeing Qin Jiao sitting alone, he walked over.
Qin Jiao shifted the book aside. "No one’s here. You guys can sit."
"Great, can you save our seats then? We’re going to get food," Gu Yunqi said, putting down his water bottle before heading into the crowd with his roommate.
In truth, Qin Jiao and Gu Yunqi didn’t know each other very well. Back in high school, he was in Class 1 and she was in Class 10. Gu Yunqi wouldn’t have even noticed her if her grades hadn’t skyrocketed, eventually leading her to take the top spot in their year.
He had secretly competed with her, rolling up his sleeves and trying his hardest to snatch back the number one spot. But in the end, he never managed to surpass her, not even on the college entrance exams.
And it wasn’t just Qin Jiao—later on, that Shen Yi guy surpassed him too!
They weren’t close, but saving a couple of seats for them was no big deal.
But the crowd was just too big. Like Shen Yi, Gu Yunqi and his roommate were swallowed up by the sea of people and didn’t return for a long time. Just then, Sun Lili, who had since composed herself, walked over. Her eyes were still a little red.
As soon as she saw Qin Jiao, she immediately strode over and sat down next to her without a word.
Qin Jiao said, "Those two seats are taken."
"Isn’t it just you and your boyfriend? How did two people become four? Qin Jiao, you’re so petty. Are you not even going to let someone sit next to your boyfriend? Do you own this cafeteria?"
’This girl really has a temper.’ Qin Jiao watched her, noticing how she couldn’t go a sentence without mentioning Shen Yi. It was obvious what was going on. The girl had a crush on him. At first, she’d been friendly because she thought Shen Yi was Qin Jiao’s brother.
Now that she’d heard he was her boyfriend, not her brother, she was ready to blow.
Qin Jiao suddenly remembered something. In that book, Sun Lili was supposed to have a crush on Shen Feng, but now it had somehow become Shen Yi. ’So, Sun Lili just likes stealing my men, is that it?’
’No, that’s not right. In my past life, Shen Feng never had the chance to become my man. As for Shen Yi in this life... I’ll just have to wait and see.’
Qin Jiao’s tone was placid. "Those two seats are taken. They’re for my high school classmates. Believe it or not. Also, don’t think so highly of yourself. It makes no difference to me whether you or some other guy sits next to my boyfriend."
Sun Lili’s eyes went wide. "What’s that supposed to mean!"
"It means exactly what I said. I remember your college entrance exam scores weren’t bad, so why is your reading comprehension so poor?"
"You!"
Just then, Shen Yi returned with Gu Yunqi and his roommate. The three tall boys saw that the empty seats at the table had been taken—Sun Lili was even sitting across from Qin Jiao.
Shen Yi strode over to Qin Jiao’s side on his long legs and set down their trays of food.
Gu Yunqi stared speechlessly at Sun Lili. "Excuse me, but that’s our seat."
Sun Lili never imagined that Qin Jiao hadn’t been lying—she really had been saving the seats for someone. She stood up awkwardly, but after a moment of hesitation, she still looked disgruntled.
She asked Gu Yunqi, "Did you know Qin Jiao before?"
"Yeah, I did. Why?"
"Then is that guy her boyfriend?"
