Lu Yinxing said, "Don’t you have social anxiety?"
To Lu Yinxing, Xia Ye is perfect in every way.
He’s a genius, except for a habit of dozing off.
But when God creates soone so perfect, He usually gives them so troubles and challenges as well.
In Lu Yinxing’s eyes, Xia Ye has social anxiety.
Because he doesn’t like making friends, doesn’t like expressing himself, doesn’t enjoy lively places, and doesn’t like crowds.
Before, Lu Yinxing never really thought this was a problem.
But later, by chance, he read a book on "psychology."
Only then did he realize Xia Ye was very similar to people with social anxiety disorder.
Lu Yinxing hadn’t thought that this could be considered a kind of psychological ailnt.
Moreover, the book said these people are actually very lonely inside.
To overco social anxiety, one must strive to communicate with others.
Xia Ye’s voice was calm and light: "I don’t have social anxiety."
See, still won’t admit it.
Lu Yinxing said, "Have you seen a drunk person admit they’re drunk?"
Xia Ye’s gaze was sharp: "Lu Yinxing, what do you an?"
Lu Yinxing thought the young man before him was probably angry out of embarrassnt.
Because if a person has flaws in certain areas, they certainly don’t want others to touch upon them, right?
Lu Yinxing stuck out his tongue: "Hurry and co out for dinner, everything’s ready and we’re just waiting for you."
Having said that, he quickly turned around.
He gave Xiao Bai a look: "Xiao Bai, let’s go."
Lu Yinxing and Xiao Bai left Xia Ye’s room and went first to the yard.
By this ti, the sky was gradually getting dark.
But the yard was brightly lit.
Lu Yinxing’s classmates were already seated one by one at the long table.
When Xia Ye went over, nearly all eyes fell on him.
He was like a young man stepping out from dazzling fireworks.
Clean, crisp, his whole body seed to shine.
Especially that face that didn’t seem to belong to this world, a glance would make your heart race.
When Xia Ye walked over.
Almost all the girls were silent.
Wen Quan waved to Xia Ye: "Ye, sit here."
There was a seat beside Wen Quan.
Lu Yinxing was sitting next to Wen Quan.
And Wen Quan was now sitting in what was originally his seat.
Xia Ye didn’t sit next to Wen Quan but sat directly across from Lu Yinxing.
Gu Tiantian also returned.
She happily sat down next to Wen Quan: "Brother Wen Qing didn’t sit here, so let sit instead."
Wen Quan smiled and affectionately patted Gu Tiantian’s furry head: "Okay, okay, I’m happier than ever having my little fish sit next to ."
Soon, Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen also ca over.
Everyone was waiting for them.
The two sat down at the main seats.
Xia Yangyang smiled and said, "Welco to our ho, please don’t be shy, eat up."
Everyone had a glass of juice in front of them.
Wen Quan picked up his glass: "Let’s toast, thank you Aunt Yangyang and Uncle Gu for the hospitality."
Everyone followed Wen Quan and raised their glasses.
Dinner officially began, and the atmosphere gradually beca lively.
Wu Wei ate a few bites of food and praised enthusiastically: "I didn’t expect Uncle’s cooking to be so good, it’s the best tasting food I’ve ever had, it’s a hundred tis better than what our chef makes, and he boasts being a Michelin chef, compared to Uncle’s cooking, simply not in the sa league."
Others also joined in the praise.
It’s not just flattering.
Almost everyone was sincere.
Gu Qichen’s lips seed to curl into a smile: "Just ho-cooked food, glad you like it."
Lu Yinxing had a proud expression on his face.
Lu Yinxing said, "What my dad makes is indeed the best because my dad is a genius, whether cooking or anything else, if he wants to do it, he can achieve the best."
Lu Yinxing was genuinely proud, almost boastful.
Xia Yangyang smiled and glanced at Gu Qichen.
Though Gu Qichen remained composed on the surface.
The joy in the corner of his eyes was sowhat hard to hide.
Of all the children in the family, Xingxing had the sweetest tongue.
Always able to cheer Gu Qichen up.
So this ti, when Aunt Qin called in to take leave, saying sothing had happened at ho and she had to go back and couldn’t take care of the two kids.
Gu Qichen imdiately returned ahead of schedule.
Said he was worried Xingxing wouldn’t have food.
With three kids in the family, Xia Ye and Tiantian were particularly sensible.
One wouldn’t call it sensibility, rather precocity.
It’s like they never needed them to worry about anything from young.
Gu Qichen often sighed, thankfully for Xingxing, only then could they experience what it felt like to be needed and adored as parents.
Of course.
Xingxing’s penchant for causing trouble from young also brought lots of problems.
When upset, it was genuine anger, and when delighted, it was genuine joy.
Xia Yangyang said, "I’ve heard you’re about to have your monthly exams, were you studying together today, how suddenly you’ve beco so diligent."
Xia Yangyang asked casually.
Purely out of curiosity.
There are two straight-A students in the family, only Lu Yinxing is a poor student.
But Xia Yangyang never demanded much from Lu Yinxing in terms of academic results.
No matter she aced exams, she never blad her even a bit.
Xia Yangyang focuses more on Lu Yinxing’s overall developnt.
Never restricting her interests and hobbies.
Hoping she chooses her passion for work in the future.
Xia Yangyang always felt that the carefree happiness of Lu Yinxing is the most precious.
Not everyone is an academic genius, Xia Yangyang believes, even if she is a poor student, it won’t hinder her success in other fields.
But Lu Yinxing suddenly beca so diligent, gathering classmates for study ti over the weekend at ho.
Even having Wen Quan tutor everyone.
This Xia Yangyang found quite strange.
Lu Yinxing explained the cause of it.
Lu Yinxing said, "No matter what, I must participate in the Campus Voice Music Concert, only then can I et Yin Yifan, get closer to my idol."
Xia Yangyang’s idol worship wasn’t a secret at ho.
Xia Yangyang never opposed it.
Guo Kaiti asked, "Is Night really so important to you? You don’t even know what he’s like, maybe he doesn’t even exist, just a packaged illusion, after all, he’s never appeared in public."
Lu Yinxing firmly said, "He definitely exists and must be amazing. I will et him in my lifeti. I have so things I want to say to him personally."
Though Night God is the legend of girls in this era.
Chasing stars is understandable.
But most can distinguish reality and ideal.
Night God is too mysterious.
So many people have turned him into a fantasy.
But Lu Yinxing remains adamant.
Wen Quan spoke beside: "Xingxing, you like other n so much, I’d get jealous."
Others teased with an "Oh", "Senior Wen Quan is straightforward indeed."
Lu Yinxing rolled his eyes at him: "Brother Wen Quan, could you stop joking around."
The atmosphere during dinner remained lively.
But Lu Yinxing’s gaze always occasionally falls on Xia Ye across the table.
Xia Ye didn’t say a word the entire night.
He just quietly ate and drank soup.
As if living in a vacuum glass do.
The lively atmosphere around him seed completely unrelated.
Lu Yinxing never found it strange before.
After so many years together, Lu Yinxing was used to this pattern.
Most of the ti, Xia Ye is indeed very quiet.
But ever since Lu Yinxing read that book.
Knowing Xia Ye’s quietness might be due to social anxiety.
Lu Yinxing’s gaze always tended to fall on him.
Always pondering deeply, what is Xia Ye thinking about when he’s silent?
Always wondering if his heart is lonely when others are laughing and joking around.
The more Lu Yinxing thought about it, the more loneliness he felt.
Lu Yinxing didn’t want Xia Ye to always be outside of everyone’s lively atmosphere.
But Lu Yinxing didn’t know how to make Xia Ye blend in with everyone.
And at this mont, Xia Ye had already stood up: "I’m done eating, you all take your ti, I’m going back to my room."
Saying this, he got up and left.
Xia Yangyang and they know Xia Ye’s personality well.
He doesn’t like the hustle and bustle.
Certain aspects of Xia Ye’s personality are quite similar to Gu Qichen’s.
Gu Qichen actually didn’t like gatherings in the earlier years either.
It was over these years, constantly being influenced by her.
His cold nature gradually ward up.
Xia Yangyang wasn’t worried.
Because she just felt Xia Ye hasn’t t soone to warm his life yet.
But one day, he definitely will et one.
Xia Ye left.
The girls looked at Xia Ye’s back, a hint of disappointnt in their eyes.
After dinner.
Everyone played for a while and then gradually said goodbye.
In the end, only Mai Xiaoqi, Guo Kaiti, and a few other girls were left.
These girls had almost all asked her to write love letters to Xia Ye before.
Their admiration for Xia Ye was just like hers for night.
There’s a kind of helplessness of wanting sothing they can’t have.
Lu Yinxing especially understood them.
Because what they liked was an iceberg.
Guo Kaiti pleaded with Lu Yinxing: "Xingxing, I want to confess to Xia Ye."
One sentence stunned all the girls around.
Guo Kaiti was a wealthy heiress.
Usually didn’t study at all but was very good at dressing herself.
Her dream was to beco the next Nicole Kidman.
Though she seed like an elegant lady, her personality was straightforward, clear at a glance.
She didn’t have the temper of a spoiled rich girl and was a loyal and righteous person.
Everyone was shocked by Guo Kaiti’s words.
Yet the other girls admired Guo Kaiti’s courage.
Confessing to Xia Ye, isn’t it asking for trouble?
Apparently, there were girls in Olympia Class who confessed to Xia Ye too, and got coldly rejected.
Even the genius overachieving girls in Olympia were turned away, let alone them at the bottom of Class 13.
Mai Xiaoqi said: "Are you crazy? Xia Ye, our academic god, belongs to all of us, how can you confess?"
Guo Kaiti said: "I like him, of course I want to confess, don’t you secretly admire him too? How about we confess as a group?"
Lu Yinxing was beside them, dumbfounded hearing this.
A group confession, does that even exist?
Lu Yinxing found it very ridiculous.
And thought Mai Xiaoqi would definitely refuse.
But unexpectedly, Mai Xiaoqi began to seriously consider it.
In the end, she agreed.
Not only did Mai Xiaoqi agree, but the other three girls Zhao Mo, Lin Shu, and Tao Xiaoxue also planned to join the group confession team.
Lu Yinxing said: "Hey, are you out of your mind, really going to confess?"
Mai Xiaoqi said: "Yeah, the closer you are to the water, the better the moon, wasting such a good opportunity will make us regret it forever."
Mai Xiaoqi turned to the others and said: "Regardless of the outco, or if Xia Ye accepts anyone’s confession, it shouldn’t affect our friendship, no jealousy, if Xia Ye makes a choice, others must unconditionally give up."
Mai Xiaoqi’s proposal was unanimously endorsed by everyone.
Lu Yinxing said: "Don’t think so far ahead, I know my brother, my brother will never agree, don’t do sothing so pointless."
Lu Yinxing really sympathized with them.
Because Lu Yinxing knew Xia Ye’s personality.
Failed confession wouldn’t be too bad, they hadn’t yet experienced Xia Ye’s sharp tongue.
Sotis, Xia Ye’s sharp tongue even makes a thick-skinned person like Lu Yinxing feel defenseless.
Lu Yinxing was worried these few lovely girls would end up hurt.
But no matter how Lu Yinxing tried to persuade them.
These people had made up their mind to confess.
Lu Yinxing ultimately couldn’t help it.
Could only take them there.
They went upstairs together.
Walked through the corridor.
Finally stopped in front of Xia Ye’s room.
Lu Yinxing was still making a last-ditch plea: "Sisters, listen to my advice, I really don’t want you to get hurt."
Mai Xiaoqi hooked her arm around Lu Yinxing’s neck and said, "Xingxing, you have to believe , the world is fair, academic achievers should match with academic underachievers, this is the rule of all things, the principle of complentarity, so academic achievers might not like other academic achievers, they might even like us underachievers."
Lu Yinxing truly felt they had gone crazy.
But ultimately, she couldn’t stop them, could only let them try.
Lu Yinxing knocked on the door first.
After a while, the door opened.
Xia Ye stood at the door.
Seeing a bunch of girls at the door, he was almost expressionless: "Do you have sothing?"
Xia Ye’s voice was cool, the girls who had just been high in spirits instantly turned into little quails.
But Guo Kaiti mustered the courage to say bluntly: "Xia Ye, I have liked you for a long ti, will you let be your girlfriend?"
The girls beside her all took a deep breath.
In their hearts, they secretly admired Guo Kaiti’s boldness too.
Xia Ye coldly said: "Sorry, I don’t like idiots."
The air instantly fell silent.
Guo Kaiti looked at the boy in front of her with an unbelievable look.
Then tears filled her eyes instantly.
Lu Yinxing was also very surprised standing beside her.
But she had long guessed, Xia Ye dislikes dragging things out, would definitely refuse in the most straightforward way.
And that way was indeed hurtful.
The other girls were also very shocked, didn’t expect the male idol in everyone’s mind to be so sharp-tongued, they felt very sympathetic towards Guo Kaiti.
Their initial thought of a group confession evaporated with that remark.
Guo Kaiti stood dazedly for a while, then said: "Sorry for disturbing."
Then she ran out.
The others sensibly said goodbye too.
Xia Yangyang went to chase after Guo Kaiti but was stopped by Mai Xiaoqi: "Let it be, I’ll go comfort her and send her ho, you get so rest earlier."
