After the 99th Confession , The Cold School Beauty's Personality Collapsed-Chapter 51

“Oh, come on! You didn’t seize such a golden opportunity? What am I supposed to say about that?” Hao Meng said, sounding exasperated.

Shi Yulu, however, had a different opinion. “I think it’s better to take things slow. If you’re too enthusiastic right away, he might not appreciate you!”

“Is that really the case?” Ji Yan blinked.

“Sounds like there’s some truth to that,” Hao Meng nodded thoughtfully before turning to Jia Ting and asking, “Jia Ting, why haven’t you said anything? Ji Yan went on a date with Qin Luo, and it looks like our dorm’s finally getting someone into a relationship!”

Jia Ting, who had been quiet until then, seemed deep in thought. She looked directly at Ji Yan and suddenly asked, “Ji Yan, does this mean you and Qin Luo are together now?”

“No, no, I’ve already said we just went shopping as friends,” Ji Yan immediately denied. “Right now, I’d say we’re just friends, and besides, I promised my mom I wouldn’t date until after college…”

Her words made the other girls pause, then they all gave her a look that seemed to say, “Are you kidding me?”

“Come on, Ji Yan, why are you backing out now?”

“Exactly! Things were just getting good, you should strike while the iron’s hot!”

Hao Meng and Shi Yulu perfectly embodied the anxious bystander, almost treating their friend’s love life as their own.

Jia Ting, on the other hand, frowned and said, “A lot of people know that Qin Luo likes you. And after you kissed him in front of everyone, then asked him out, how can you still say you’re just friends?”

“I… I…”

Ji Yan was at a loss for words. Of course, she wanted to get closer to Qin Luo, but doing so would likely anger her mother, which she absolutely didn’t want.

Caught between the two, Ji Yan felt trapped.

She lowered her head and mumbled, “Isn’t it fine the way things are now…”

Seeing her timid, ostrich-like response, Jia Ting felt a sudden surge of frustration. She hadn’t noticed it before, but now she realized just how indecisive Ji Yan could be.

Isn’t that just hurting both yourself and others?

Frowning, Jia Ting was about to say more when there was a knock on the dorm room door.

A girl peeked her head in and called out, “Yulu, are you coming to the music department?”

“What for? Is there an event today?” Shi Yulu looked confused, but then she remembered and exclaimed, “Oh, I forgot! We’re supposed to finalize the performances for the anniversary gala today.”

“Honestly, when will you ever be reliable?” The girl at the door sighed.

Shi Yulu gave an apologetic smile, quickly got up to gather her things, and said goodbye to her roommates on her way out.

After Shi Yulu left with the other girl, silence fell over the dorm again.

Hao Meng kept pestering Ji Yan for more details about the date, but Ji Yan seemed unwilling to talk and kept her head down, avoiding the subject.

The more Jia Ting looked at her, the more frustrated she became. She wanted to scold her but ultimately decided it wasn’t worth getting so worked up, so she calmed herself, picked up a book, and lay back on her bed.

…

Shi Yulu was a member of the music department and had a singing performance for the upcoming anniversary gala as well.

In this female-dominated university, Ji Yan, being chosen as the campus beauty, was naturally very attractive. Though Shi Yulu was a bit less so in comparison, she had other charms.

She was petite, around 158 cm tall, with a cute baby face, big bright eyes, and smooth, fair skin. Although she was already 20, she looked like a high schooler at first glance.

Not only that, but she also had a naturally sweet voice, delicate and soft. Hearing her speak made her seem all the more gentle and adorable, solidifying her high schooler image.

If Ji Yan was the beauty representative of the university, then Shi Yulu was undeniably the adorable one.

Her appearance and voice gave her a natural edge in performances; it would’ve been a waste not to participate.

So, she had a part in the gala, though she tended not to worry too much since she was already well-practiced in her song. As a result, it wasn’t on her mind.

Now, with less than two weeks until the gala, they needed to finalize the performances. That’s why Shi Yulu was heading to the music department with her friend.

They walked through the campus pathways and reached the club activity building.

The music department was on the third floor. As they climbed the stairs, they heard a faint, upbeat melody and a beautiful singing voice.

“It sounds like someone from our department is singing,” the girl who had called Shi Yulu commented.

Shi Yulu replied casually, “Probably practicing, since the performances are coming up.”

Neither thought much of it as they walked toward the department.

The closer they got, the clearer the melody and voice became.

Shi Yulu and her friend paused, surprised.

“This song… I don’t think I’ve heard it before.”

“It sounds amazing, must be a new song…”

They whispered to each other and didn’t rush inside, worried they might interrupt.

Peeking through the door, they quietly opened it a crack and stuck their heads in to look.

With just one glance, Shi Yulu froze in place, her cute baby face filled with astonishment.
