Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Moonlight is Moved!
"Really?"
Wang Chang's eyes gleamed slyly as she spoke, "Then why don't you introduce him to me? I think your classmate is quite nice, rich and generous, at least much better than my ex-boyfriend!"
"I want that too! I want that too!"
Fang Yingying joined in the teasing, "Hurry up and give me his WeChat! I want a Cartier too!"
"No way, no way!"
Sun Yi hastily refused, "I can't just give out his WeChat without his permission."
"Oh, you're in such a hurry, yet you say there's nothing!"
Wang Chang pointed at Sun Yi, teasingly, "Scared that we might steal him from you, huh?"
"Not at all!"
Sun Yi's face turned red with embarrassment, and she awkwardly turned her head away.
Being teased like this by her two roommates, her heart started pounding tremendously.
Wu Wei's image involuntarily floated into her mind.
Seeing this, Wang Chang shook her head, saying with emotion, "Who would have thought! The millennium cold steel tree has finally bloomed; I'm totally caught off guard."
"Right, all these years so many guys from inside and outside the school pursued you, and you always said you didn't like them and felt nothing."
Fang Yingying nodded in agreement, then widened her eyes excitedly and said, "What does your classmate look like? Do you have a photo? Show us, I'm just so curious!"
"No photos, we haven't seen each other for many years."
Sun Yi shyly shook her head, "Actually, I'm also not sure if I have feelings for him; I just think he's different from before, more confident and charming."
As Sun Yi spoke, she looked down at the necklace, "Regardless, I cannot accept this necklace. It's too precious; I can't afford it."
After saying this, Sun Yi immediately opened WeChat, pondered for a moment, then sent a message to Wu Wei.
...
In the hotel, Wu Wei, having finished his shower, lay on the bed and started watching short videos about relationships.
Even though he now possessed the powerful weapon of wealth, learning more about this subject was always a good idea.
[Sun Yi Affinity+2]
Just then, a system notification appeared.
Affinity points added?
Wu Wei felt a bit surprised.
He had thought that, upon Sun Yi finding the necklace in her bag, maintaining the current level of affinity would be good enough, but gaining two points was truly a pleasant surprise!
However, what he didn't know was that Sun Yi's increase in affinity was not because she saw the necklace, but because of her roommates' teasing.
Being teased actually makes it quite easy for someone to develop feelings for another person.
This happens a lot during one's student years.
You start off with no thoughts about that person, but as everyone teases you about it, you gradually start to like them.
Wu Wei was enjoying his happiness when Sun Yi sent a message over WeChat.
"She's definitely asking about the necklace."
Wu Wei thought to himself and clicked into the chat.
Sun Yi: [Wu Wei, why is the necklace you bought in my bag? Did you place it there by mistake?]
Followed by a photo of her holding the necklace box.
Wu Wei smiled, thinking to himself, just as expected.
Wu Wei didn't reply, pretending he had fallen asleep and hadn't seen it, and exited WeChat, continuing to watch videos.
His decision was well thought out.
If he replied now, he would definitely have to argue with Sun Yi about it.
As you can't see the other person's face on WeChat, if he said the wrong thing or made her feel uncomfortable, it might even lower the affinity points, so better not to talk at all.
More importantly, by not replying, Sun Yi wouldn't get a definite answer.
She'd spend all night thinking about it, wondering what he meant.
Was it a mistake, or not? Does he like her, or not?
The more a girl thinks about you, the higher the chance she'll start liking you!
These are the insights he had gained from the relationship videos in recent days.
Seeing that Wu Wei hadn't replied, a few minutes later, Sun Yi sent three more messages in a row.
Sun Yi: [???]
Sun Yi: [Are you asleep?]
Sun Yi: [Then I'll bring you the necklace tomorrow.]
Wu Wei knew instantly that Sun Yi was getting anxious; she desperately wanted to know the answer.
He still kept his composure and didn't reply.
No matter what she sent, he had already fallen asleep—all would be discussed tomorrow morning!
Meanwhile, in her dorm room, Sun Yi stared anxiously at the chat page with Wu Wei, waiting for his reply.
However, there was no response at all.
"He must be asleep."
After waiting for a while, Sun Yi sighed.
Yet, she couldn't calm her mind.
In her thoughts, she inadvertently reminisced about today's scenes with Wu Wei.
From their first meeting, to playing, dining, shopping, and finally taking her back to school.
In every scene, Wu Wei exuded a calm and confident aura, introducing her to a charm she hadn't felt before.
She couldn't help but think about the times in middle school when they were deskmates.
Back then, before Wu Wei's family faced any misfortunes, he was a confident, sunny, and aspiring individual, who, combined with his good grades and handsome looks, was a crush for many in class and even throughout the school.
At that age of blossoming feelings, she also harbored some faint affection for Wu Wei.
However, as the middle school exams ended, the distance between them grew, and that dash of affection gradually faded away.
But now, it seemed to have returned!
Sun Yi opened her gallery and viewed the pictures and videos taken today.
In recent years, she had barely posted on her social media, but for some reason, she suddenly felt like sharing an update.
After carefully selecting nine photos, she posted them online.
Aside from photos of Baotu Spring cultural ice cream and a few pictures of Charming Pavilion and Daming Lake nighttime scenery, the rest were all of a cruise dinner's gourmet dishes.
Caption: Touring Jicheng with an old classmate, haven't been this happy in a long time!
Once the post went live, it promptly received many likes and comments.
[Is this the Daming Lake cruise dinner? Little Yi is awesome!]
[Midnight craving, unforgivable!]
[Whoa, king crab, Lobster, abalone, sea cucumber, that meal wasn't cheap!]
[Corners of my mouth are dripping with envious tears [cry][cry]]
...
Seeing the surprised or envious comments in her social media feed, the corners of Sun Yi's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
This kind of response was something she had never experienced before in her timeline.
It satisfied her vanity a little.
After all, who doesn't have a bit of vanity?
Sun Yi was no exception.
After all, aside from being a PhD student, she was just an ordinary girl.
Sun Yi couldn't help but think about Wu Wei again.
Who knew what would happen between them tomorrow?
Her heart was filled with anticipation and a bit of nervousness.
[Sun Yi's affection +5]
Seeing the system's prompt, Wu Wei, who was about to sleep, was startled.
How did her affection increase again!
And by 5 points no less!
Wait a minute!
Wu Wei suddenly realized something and sat up from the bed in an instant.
He was overjoyed!
With these 5 points added, Sun Yi's affection for him had officially reached 60 points!
And 60 points meant "heart-throbbing"!
This meant that at that very moment, Sun Yi had felt a thrill for him!
