Chapter 516: Junior's Sudden Confession

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

Little White Dove drove his new ride home in a great mood.

Especially when he drove the car into the school. It was no joke how cool he looked. On the way back with his roommates, he suddenly heard Kai's shocked voice.

"Isn't that Junior Sheng Xinyi?"

Little White Dove looked over and saw a limping figure on the road.

The girl wore a beige bodycon skirt, a snowflake fleece jacket thrown over it, and a pair of sky-high heels. It was obvious her feet hurt from the way she shuffled along.

Her face was twisted with barely contained pain, so pitiful it made anyone who saw her want to protect her.

"I'll pull over." Little White Dove parked by the curb, then honked and said to Sheng Xinyi, "Junior, what happened to you?"

Sheng Xinyi had been struggling to walk, but the moment she saw the flippant Little White Dove, her eyes lit up. It only lasted a moment before her little face turned shyly red. "I… I was modeling… and sprained it… it's… it's nothing."

"How can it be nothing? Is that what you call nothing?" Little White Dove said seriously. "Get in."

Sheng Xinyi glanced at Kai and Old He in the back seat, a little wary, afraid of strangers.

Seeing her bashful look, Kai and Old He said with great perceptiveness, "Uh, just pretend we're air. Don't mind us."

"What are you two saying? Don't scare the junior!" How could he not hear the teasing in these two idiots' words? In private it was fine, but the two of them joking in front of a junior was a bit much.

"It's fine, then… thank you, Senior!" Sheng Xinyi stole a loving glance at Little White Dove, then opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

She nervously clutched her skirt, sensitive and shy, her fair, translucent little face buried against her chest, not daring to look at Little White Dove again.

A moment later, a fresh scent swept over her.

It startled Sheng Xinyi.

She looked nervously and bashfully at Little White Dove, who had already leaned in.

So close, so very close—what was she supposed to do?!

She felt like she could hardly breathe.

Senior Chen Ge's eyelashes are so long, his skin so nice!

But… what… what was he getting so close for!

He… he was about to kiss her!

Sheng Xinyi stared at his chiseled face, her face red, her body tensing even more, her fingers clutching her skirt so tightly she was about to pinch her own flesh.

"You forgot to buckle your seatbelt. Safety first—even though I'm an Old Driver." Little White Dove took the chance to show off.

A chorus of jeers came from the back.

One look and it was clear Kai and Old He were ragging on him, but Little White Dove just grinned, not bothering with them.

Sheng Xinyi, meanwhile, let out a breath of relief—and at the same time felt a little disappointed.

She flushed and murmured, "Thank you, Senior Chen Ge."

"No problem, it's nothing." Little White Dove flashed his white teeth, then snapped back to his senses and started driving.

"Senior… Senior Chen Ge," Sheng Xinyi's gaze fell on the red string on Little White Dove's wrist. She secretly smiled, and between her brows was all the quiet and shyness unique to a girl. "Have you found a girl you like?"

"Huh?" Little White Dove was stunned, so much so that he nearly slammed on the brakes.

"I… what I mean is, I hope you can move on!" Sheng Xinyi held her breath, let it out, and her voice was noticeably louder than before. "And look at the other scenery!"

"Whoa—" The two Beast Roommates in the back were being sarcastic again.

Little White Dove glared at Old He and Kai, whose faces were full of knowing grins. "Hey, you two, how about you get out?"

"Fine, we'll get out. Perfect, we'll leave the two-person world to you." Old He laughed as he replied.

Kai said, "I think we've become lightbulbs."

Little White Dove was a pretty thick-skinned guy, but being egged on by these two now made his face burn red with anger.

He stole another glance to the side.

Someone like a little rabbit, her little face bright red, biting her lip—she was a quiet, shy, pretty girl.

How could she withstand the teasing of these two old rogues? One look and it was clear she'd been scared.

Little White Dove said to Sheng Xinyi, "Ignore them. It's fine, they just love playing matchmaker!"

As a result, he got complaints from the back seat.

"Hey, Little White Dove, can we still be friends?"

"We're not playing matchmaker, we just think Junior Xinyi is really great."

Little White Dove was caught between laughter and tears. "You two, know when to stop."

"Ac… actually, I think we could match a bit!" Sheng Xinyi rubbed her little hands and forced herself to say it, which made Little White Dove freeze.

"Please, Senior, give me a chance!"

Sheng Xinyi's thick feathery lashes fluttered rapidly.

"I… I like you! The kind where I really like you!"

The moment the words came out, the world went quiet.

"Skrrrt—" An emergency brake.

The wheels scraped deep marks into the ground.

Sheng Xinyi's body lurched forward from the momentum.

Then she looked at Little White Dove in astonishment.

"Right now I have nothing to do with her. My feelings are like fallen leaves returning to their roots—I don't care how many leaves fall." Little White Dove had already learned from his pain and planned to forget Suya.

There would be regrets, but so what? He still had to look forward.

Little White Dove planned to become a better version of himself, not to destroy himself for certain people.

"But I don't plan to drop another leaf."

Little White Dove stared deeply at Sheng Xinyi. "Sorry, Junior."

Sheng Xinyi's red lips quivered.

In less than a few seconds, tears had already welled in her eyes.

Shimmering with tears, utterly pitiful.

There was a kind of heartbreak where, even though she was the one suffering, she still had to force a smile.

Sheng Xinyi held up a smile and said to Little White Dove, "Senior, it's okay. It was… it was one-sided on my part to begin with. I'm okay, really, really okay!"

Little White Dove felt his heart grow especially heavy.

Especially turning down a beautiful girl like Sheng Xinyi.

But not liking her was not liking her. A melon forced off the vine isn't sweet.

A short pain was better than a long one. If he got together with her now just because she was good to him, that would be irresponsible.

After that, the car fell into silence.

Sheng Xinyi leaned her fair little face against the window. There wasn't much spirit in her eyes, like shattered crystal, and it made one's heart ache.

It made Kai and Old He in the back not dare to say anything more.

Only when they reached the school did Sheng Xinyi dare to speak. She gave Little White Dove a faint smile. "Thank you, Senior Chen Ge."

Her curled lashes were covered in tear droplets, crystal clear like rhinestones. Even with reddened eyes, she still forced out a smile.

Sheng Xinyi was about to get out, but ended up knocking her head against the car body.

"Careful!" Little White Dove warned.

"It's… it's fine." Sheng Xinyi tried hard to hold up a smile, not taking it seriously. She rubbed her little head and practically stumbled out of the car.

Sheng Xinyi gave a gentle smile and waved at Little White Dove, pretending nothing was wrong.

Under Little White Dove's worried gaze, Sheng Xinyi turned around, and the face that had been pretending to be happy was suddenly covered in dark clouds. Tears were already streaming down.
