Chapter 695: Chapter 519: Those Who’ve Never Dated Yearn Most for Love
The undernourished boy raised his head and looked toward the livestream camera nearby.
—
"???!!!"
"You said you needed my help and now I’m wide awake, quickly share your story! I’m super smart and great at giving advice!"
"Although I don’t have a girlfriend, don’t we, with our millions of brains, outsmart even Zhuge Liang?"
"Zhuge Liang: I can’t believe I still have to endure this nonsense thousands of years later."
"Doesn’t anyone think Dr. Chen’s attitude just now was a bit odd? The person involved is willing to share their story, but Dr. Chen acts as if the livestream camera shouldn’t even exist?"
"That’s actually true. Now everyone at Hai City University knows if you don’t want to be live-streamed, you can just ask. What Dr. Chen did was unnecessary."
"Isn’t it possible that Dr. Chen doesn’t want to hear gossip and just wants to sleep?"
"If he wants to sleep, he can just go to sleep. Now this livestream has developed to the point that it can do without Dr. Chen, but not without the crispy university student."
"Now it’s not Dr. Chen saving lives, it’s the crispy university student needing the help of netizens. I have never felt so necessary staying up late—it might really help someone!"
"6!"
"..."
—
"Actually, from beginning to end, I never said a word to the girl I liked, and I was forced out of the ranks of suitors."
"Back then, what I looked forward to the most every noon was going to the cafeteria with my roommates, hoping to coincidentally meet the girl I liked."
"It turned out that during those days, I was actually a fairly lucky guy."
"Every time I went to eat at the cafeteria, I happened to run into her and her roommates."
"Even luckier once."
"One time, the four of us from our dormitory happened to sit at the table next to the four of them from her dormitory. That was the closest I ever got to her."
The undernourished boy stopped talking here.
There was a gentle smile on his face.
His roommate was stunned, "No way, buddy! You didn’t even say a word, and you stopped pursuing her? And you say you liked her?"
"Just like that?"
Beside them.
An intern doctor eager for gossip stepped forward to hold down the agitated boy.
Persuading, "Don’t say that to him. Compared to before, his situation is much better. At least now he’s willing to talk about his failed crush. You should at least give him a chance to open up!"
"Your agitation now is also pressuring him. If the pressure is too much and he stops sharing, what then?"
—
"Although I also really want to hear more, his roommate isn’t wrong. He didn’t even say a word, and stopped pursuing her? That’s too cowardly!"
"Maybe he encountered some strong obstacle; you never know. After all, he’s just a freshman in college."
"To be honest, once you’re 18, you take on all legal responsibilities. You can’t really be considered a child anymore."
"The guy just had a crush, why elevate this to a legal issue in the comments..."
"He didn’t even talk to the girl, it seems unlikely he’d do anything illegal, right?"
"I can even understand him continuing to have a crush, but I really can’t fathom why he’d fail at it and then shut himself away."
"..."
—
The undernourished boy hung his head in front of the camera.
Recalling scene after scene.
The undernourished boy: "Actually... although we ate together every day, there was one day when Dayang said he wanted milk tea, and I went back to the cafeteria alone."
Next to him.
His roommate immediately spoke up to help explain, "Dayang is the only one from our dormitory who was sent to the hospital. I remembered that did happen."
"So, what exactly happened that day?"
"That’s the day you got upset?"
The boy concentrated hard, trying to remember.
He seemed to recall a little bit.
Like from that day on, his roommates suddenly stopped going to the cafeteria.
But he thought it was because his roommates suddenly decided delivery food tasted better.
Chen Mu had already made himself a cup of instant noodles.
Even though he’s really sleepy right now.
But as the school doctor, he was quite concerned about the crispy university student’s relationship issues.
The intern doctor beside him glanced at him in disdain, "Dr. Chen, instant noodles are junk food, eat less for your health."
Chen Mu didn’t raise his head, still staring at the center of the situation, "Compared to overtime, that tiny bit of unhealthiness from instant noodles is nothing."
Intern doctor: "..."
Quietly walked away to find instant noodles.
The undernourished boy: "Actually, it wasn’t a big deal. Another suitor of the girl stopped me in the cafeteria, saying he knew I liked her but hoped I could stay away from the girl I liked."
"I was quite angry hearing such unreasonable words back then."
"I thought to myself, ’Who the hell are you, buddy?’ When you meet someone you like, everyone has the right to pursue and get close."
"As to who the girl likes, who she wants to get closer to, or who she wants to be friends with—that’s her choice. Not to mention he was just another suitor; even if he was her boyfriend, he has no right to interfere with her social life, right?"
His roommate was nodding like crazy beside him, "Right, your thought is absolutely correct! We can’t be defeated by our love rivals!"
At this point.
His roommate suddenly sensed something was wrong and looked at the undernourished boy suspiciously, "Wait a minute! If you really have such awareness, why did you stop going to the cafeteria?"
At this point.
The boy sized up his roommate, "You wouldn’t happen to be an intellectual giant but a man of little action, would you?"
"Here you are saying it all so nicely, but did you chicken out when facing your rival?"
The more he looked at his roommate.
The more he felt that his roommate was that kind of person.
—
"Don’t say it! I think his roommate got the truth. Now, looking at him, he does seem like that kind of person."
"You know, many people are like that, saying one thing behind people’s backs. But really put them out there, they can’t say a word even in front of strangers."
"No wonder he stopped going to the cafeteria. He was scared to see his rival, not the girl he liked, wasn’t he???"
"Those who previously accused the girl, aren’t you going to apologize?"
"His expression is peculiar. Got caught out, feeling guilty?"
"Most likely feeling guilty!"
"..."
—
"I didn’t chicken out. I said those words when I was facing my rival."
"But the things he said afterward made me realize I really shouldn’t appear in front of her. Someone as ordinary as me doesn’t even have the right to like her."
*
With that sentence.
He instantly drew attention from everyone present.
Not just his roommates and the curious intern doctors.
Even a few patients on other beds in the observation room, who had been lying under the covers with eyes closed, listening stealthily.
Couldn’t hold back.
Suddenly sat up.
One after another questioning.
"Saying ordinary people don’t even have the right to like someone? You must have liked the campus beauty then, right?"
"But that doesn’t make sense, I’m in my third year and I don’t even know who the campus beauty is."
"You fell for someone without even meeting them and got PUA’d by your rival first?"
"Was it your rival interfering the entire time? No way, you gave up a little too soon, didn’t you? If he really had a chance, he wouldn’t be your rival; he’d be her actual boyfriend. Did you give up just because of another guy who also failed to win the goddess over?"
"It really is..."
"You better leave, staying in the same room with a coward like you... Ahhh!!! Dr. Chen, I pulled out my IV needle!!!"
"I’m bleeding!!!"
