Chapter 21: I Was Waiting For You

Xiao Ling thinks there are a lot of surprises in life.

For instance, Wei Wei really took her shopping the evening before the level 6 test (College English Test).

Okay, so even if Wei Wei claims that she is doing this to unwind after studying so much for the exam, there's still no need to become giddy and head to the nearby apparel stores.

This also amazes Er Xi and Si Si.

After supper, they return to the dorm room to see that both Xiao

Wei Wei and Ling are not present. They obviously haven't switched to self-study because their books are still on the table. Out of curiosity, Er Xi chooses to text Xiao Ling.

In a prompt response, Xiao Ling goes with Wei Wei to purchase clothing.

Er Xi looks shocked. She pulls Si Si along to go look after asking what store they are at. Wei Wei happens to be leaving the changing room when they get there and shove open the door.

Si Si and Er Xi stand motionless at the door.

They had never laid eyes on a Wei Wei quite like this.

Her fair shoulders are adorned with her naturally wavy hair, which is typically pulled down and split over a ponytail. She's wearing a crimson, knee-length dress with a v-neck that shows off her gorgeous collarbones. Her petite and appealing waist is emphasized by the dress's tight fit over her body's contours, which is constructed of light fabric. Any little movement causes the dress to ripple, and her lengthy and elegant legs captivate onlookers, preventing them from averting their eyes. Her attractive ankles are accentuated by the crystal stiletto sandals she is donning. The tiny clothes store feels suddenly brighter because Wei Wei is so captivating and brilliant.

Everybody is amazed. It takes some time for Xiao Ling to recognize that Er Xi and Si Si are at this place. "How are you doing?" she asks them with pride. It's the one I chose for Wei Wei. I think I have excellent taste.

She has excellent taste, no doubt about it. Er Xi is ready to compliment Xiao Ling when she notices Wei Wei turn around and say, "Xiao Ling, don't you think you could pick something more conservative for me?

"Oh," said Xiao Ling.

"Oh," Er Xi said.

Yes, sir.

The sales representative coughs silently to herself. Is this dress not considered conservative?

Simply put, your physique is overly voluminous! It is unrelated to the innocent and pure clothing in our store!

There's stillness for a time, then Xiao Ling turns around without saying anything and keeps choosing Wei Wei new outfits. Asking Wei Wei, "Why do you want to buy new clothes all of a sudden?" Er Xi enters the store.

"Because I realized that the clothes I bought last year have been worn out >o<," Wei remarks.< p>

Er Xi is at a loss for words; this isn't something she told her a long time ago? And weren't you contentedly still wearing them after just a few days prior?

"You don't need to go out and buy new clothes today, do you?" Si Si asks. Tomorrow is your exam day.

"Oh, I see. Wei Wei is at a loss for words to describe herself. She says, unsure of herself, "Um...," not wanting to announce to anybody that she would be meeting NaiHe.Tomorrow is my interview.

Actually, it's not a lie. The "interview" of a lifetime will take place tomorrow!

Surprised, Er Xi inquires, "You're working throughout the summer? Which firm would be so cruel as to schedule your exam for the same day as your interview, which is Saturday night? By the time your exam is over, it will be 5:20 p.m.

Wei Wei seems stunned.

The "evil" one appears to be her.

As NaiHe enquired in the afternoon to get together, Wei Wei thought that...What is the appropriate way to phrase this? It was like having a ton of chicken wings fall on you right when you're hungry.

It was startling.

An amazing revelation.

putting someone in a daze.

also to feel uneasy.

She also let her mind go wild, wondering whether NaiHe was actually meeting up with her just to make a video. Is it only a pretext? But would this be a too self-aggrandizing thought for her? Wei Wei slapped herself and shoved the ideas far down her throat.

Her mind was unable to think when all of these ideas crowded her head. It took her thirty seconds to respond to NaiHe with "okay."

NaiHe seemed unaffected by her tardiness in responding. When he got her confirmation, he texted her his phone number.

"Here's my cell: 13XXXXXXXXXX."

When Wei Wei saw the number, her heart began to race. Compared to the previous time NaiHe had wanted to meet, she became much more agitated.

It was the mobile number of NaiHe.

At last, at last, they were actually connected in real life.

Wei Wei hastily jotted down his number after realizing that she ought to have given it to him as well. However, she lacked a cell phone = =

Last year, someone took her mobile phone. Wei Wei continued putting off getting a new one since she liked the calm after that. Why is a student's cell phone truly necessary phone number for? Furthermore, since peers reside in the same dorm, it's still simple to find out information.

However, Wei Wei typed carefully because she was worried that if she didn't give NaiHe her number, he would think that she wasn't being sincere: "My phone got stolen and I haven't bought a new one yet >o<."< p>

Wei Wei proactively inquired, demonstrating her sincerity, "Where shall we meet? Situated near North 4th Ring Road, University A is where I am. Are you also in City B, I take it?

NaiHe must have known that she was in City B based on their frequent discussions, even though they had never inquired about one other's personal information. This is why he requested to meet.

"Yes, I am," Without showing any emotion, NaiHe said, "I'll pick you up at University A." When are you available?

When Wei Wei heard the words "pick you up," she was a little taken aback. "I'll be free around 5:30pm after I finish my exam tomorrow," she said without thinking.

"At 6 p.m., I'll be waiting for you at the East entrance."

"We should meet at 5:30 p.m." She won't have to wait an additional thirty minutes thanks to it. No,Did he not seem to know a lot about University A? Wei Wei thought about it for a moment, but she didn't think about it further and just asked to meet at 5:30 p.m. But then she regretted it immediately. Did she sound overly nervous, did it? Weep. She was becoming more and more ashamed. Thus, she typed, "I'll call your cell tomorrow," after swiftly verifying the time and location. I have to go right now.

She left the area and carried on looking blankly at the computer while seated in front of it. Then, she crouched in front of her closet and gave it a blank gaze.….

Anyways.

This kind is conservative. Proceed to try it on.

Feeling annoyed, Xiao Ling stuffs a piece of clothes into Bei Wei Wei's hands as she is lost in her own thoughts. Really, she's being so finicky and zoning out when she has to put in the hard effort, hmph! Without saying anything, Wei Wei brings the clothing into the changing area. Xiao Ling gives a little, satisfied nod of her head as she exits.

This it's not a one-piece outfit this time. Wei Wei is dressed elegantly in a blue floral skirt and a white pleated top with sleeves that fall to mid-thigh. These are two basic articles of apparel, yet on Wei Wei, they take on a delicate quality. Moreover, Wei Wei's inherent voluptuousness is tempered by the crisp blue and white combo.

She has successfully changed into a conservative girl by applying Er Xi's advice. (Wei Wei >o<)< p>

With this clothing, Wei Wei is also happier. She doesn't feel uncomfortable wearing it even though she isn't used to wearing skirts that are longer than the knee. She has confidence as she stands in front of the mirror.

Wei Wei examines her entire body in the mirror. Something about it seems strange. Following a moment she remarks, "Ah, shoes."

She is still donning the translucent, high-heeled sandals that Xiao Ling also chose.

"These sandals look very pretty," remarks Xiao Ling. They go really well with short skirts.

"They're too high," says Wei Wei, shaking her head.

Wei Wei is 169 cm tall. Given that these sandals are 7 to 8 cm high, her height increases to 177 cm.

What if NaiHe isn't particularly tall?

>o<

Wei Wei chooses a pair of white, little heeled sandals as she doesn't want to trouble Xiao Ling once again. Wei Wei approaches the sales associate to haggle for a better deal, and her roommates approve.

Behind her, Er Xi murmurs, "This blouse is very conservative."

The two tightly attached rows of buttons around the neck prevent any exposed flesh.

"It's refreshing and pure," says Xiao Ling. It works really nicely for Wei Wei. It's preferable to appear more like a student during interviews.

Er Xi remains silent but asks herself, "Am I the only one who finds that having the buttons so tight makes it even more seductive?" You refer to this as the "beauty" of not having sex! That's it, folks!

Inside, Er Xi is crying.

In the end, Wei Wei spends 200 RMB on all three goods. Since they are meeting at 5:30 p.m., she wears them to the examination, knowing that she won't have time to return to her dorm room and change afterwards.

As an outcome

The crowd at the examination is shocked by it.

Wei Wei doesn't wear skirts very often, although her clothing is actually rather standard. Though it's not that she dislikes wearing them, riding a bike while wearing skirts is inconvenient due to the distance between her courses and the dorm.

As a result, when they see Wei Wei abruptly dressed differently, many are astounded. Wei Wei still feels a little uneasy about others staring at her even if she is used to it. Fortunately, the exam is about to start, so she is free of the embarrassment.

For Wei Wei, the level 6 test goes rather well. Even a query on an article she just so happened to read it saves Wei Wei a good deal of time; it was recently published in an English newspaper. The exam is over, she goes over her responses carefully, and it's not quite 5:10 p.m.

Wei Wei, therefore, nods off while she looks at her response card. She loses her composure and calmness while taking the exam, and she begins to feel restless. She fidgets for a few minutes before getting up and choosing to turn in her exam early.

As Wei Wei exits the examining room, she exhales deeply.

The time to 5:30 p.m. is drawing near. NaiHe has most likely already left for University A. Is he, at this moment, feeling as anxious as she is?

Wei Wei strolls at an uneven speed down the school's path, which is not very crowded similar to how her heart feels, which is both anxious and excited. She clings tenaciously to the piece of paper bearing NaiHe's mobile phone number. Though she already knows his phone number by heart, she worries that she won't remember it and won't be able to get in touch with him.

It just takes 10 minutes to go from the East door to Wei Wei's examination room. She looks for NaiHe from a distance even though she knows he's probably not arrived yet.

Since the exam hasn't ended yet, there aren't many people at the entryway. There aren't many people entering and exiting it. Wei Wei is shocked to see someone who doesn't look like NaiHe someone you never anticipated.

Xiao Nai, huh?

Is it not Xiao Nai standing next to the willow tree?

Wei Wei is forced to give him a couple more quick looks.

In front of the East entrance, a robust willow tree sways and dips its green branches. He is standing beneath the tree in silence, his basic white shirt gleaming in the sun's diagonal rays. Wei Wei can only see his jet black hair from a distance.

However, it's actually Xiao Nai.

Why is he in this place?

Is he awaiting someone else? Who is it that truly has the ability to hold Great Master Xiao Nai back?

Wei Wei instinctively moves to the other side of the door as she considers in her mind; she doesn't have the bravery to approach Xiao Nai. She notices after just a few feet that a large vehicle is parked outside the East door on the opposite side.

Oh, yeah.

She will have to get closer to Xiao Nai; there is no way around it. She approaches, and Xiao Nai spots her at the same moment, fixing his focus on her.

Wei Wei stops walking, and they look at one other.

Wei Wei can't recall who said this, but wherever Xiao Nai is, scenery appears right away. It's not only his appearance; it's his aura.

That's precisely it. The mood has abruptly changed as Xiao Nai is standing there in silence, as though it's an exquisite and remote location isolated from the rest of the globe.

Wei Wei recognizes it deep down in her head.

The willow tree blowing softly in the breeze.

Beneath the tree, a dapper man stands without restriction.

Waiting patiently for someone.

Where has she already seen this? Wei Wei turns her head down, looks aside, and walks on, trying to retrieve her hazy recollection. However, it simply feels...

She has no choice but to lift her head. She so looks up into Xiao Nai's eyes once more. She gives him a gentle glance. Wei Wei nearly gets the impression that he's waiting for her to approach as he apathetically looks back at her.

However, how is it even possible? Wei Wei is too modest for her own good.

Why then does he not stop gazing at her? Might it could it be that Great Master Xiao Nai has already seen her? Is it possible that he is aware of her affiliation with the computer science department? So he's giving her a few more quick looks?

Okay, now it all makes sense. Thus, should I go greet him? They are from the same program, after all.

However, would she be misunderstood for attempting to engage in conversation with him? >o<

Wei Wei unconsciously walks more slowly. However, she approaches him more closely little by bit.

Wei Wei is no longer able to handle the burden of being seen. Padding for the inevitable "who are you" question, she stops walking and boldly greets Senior Xiao, remarking on the coincidence.

Just a moment.

Two moments.

For three seconds.

Anyways.

Not a reply.

Wei Wei droops her head in surrender. She is so embarrassed that she chastises herself in her heart for not being able to resist; why did she even welcome him? Now that's really embarrassing.

Or perhaps she ought to float off?

Wei Wei can't help but lift her head to gaze at him despite her chaotic state of mind. She notices Xiao Nai's mouth corners slightly lift. A touch of a smile appears in his dark eyes as he looks at her.

His voice is then heard by Wei Wei.

"Not a coincident." She hears his calm voice saying, "I was waiting for you."
