Chapter 13: Spectacle girl 2

That evening, Wallance attempted to come over to Shen Jun Shan's house for another dinner, but Shen Jun Shan refused him by saying that his sister was not happy to see him in the house. Shen Jun Shan was not sure what happened between Amy and Wallance, but Amy disliked Wallance for some unknown reasons.

That was what Shen Jun Shan told Wallance. In reality, he never mentioned about Wallance coming over to their house to his sister. Shen Jun Shan didn't want Wallance to bump and meet Qiao An coincidently at the apartment building.

Amy Shen and Shen Jun Shan went back early that day since their work was almost done in the office, so they don't have to pull an all-nighter again. Since it was Monday, Amy Shen was excited to go to Qiao An's house for a mask-time with her.

Amy Shen looked so happy while she was reading the text from her phone. She chuckled and typed excitedly. That made Shen Jun Shan curious their topic.

"Are you going to eat first or are you going straight to Qiao An? I'm going to order takeout; I am too lazy to cook" Shen Jun Shan asked Amy Shen who has been ignoring him since she went into the car.

Without looking up to Shen Jun Shan, Amy replied to his question. "I'm going to eat with An An. She said that she made a lot of spaghetti and her students gave her a red velvet cake this time."

A smile crept into Shen Jun Shan face when he remembered the cake from last time. Qiao An used him as a food tester to taste the cake first. Shen Jun Shan wondered if Qiao An will do that again this time? His mind wandered to his university days. How could he did not realise that Qiao An was the spectacle girl from the Short Skirt Group?

"Brother? Brother? I call your name for a few times already. Is there something on your mind?" Amy Shen looked at her pitiful brother. "An asked if you would like to have dinner with us? She said she got a cake for you to try."

Shen Jun Shan's lips twitched when he heard that. Of course, he was only wanted because he needed to be the tester in case someone put whatever potion of black magic in the food. Shen Jun Shan nodded to indicate his answer.

He was tired and ordering takeout is time-consuming. If he eats with the girls, he could save time and energy – and he could see his spectacle girls too. Also, with black magic or not, he'll get to eat the cake for free.

When Amy Shen and Shen Jun Shan reached their apartment, they went to take a bath before heading towards Qiao An's house. It would be Shen Jun Shan's first time entering the house. He was curious about how the home of a quiet person looked like.

When Shen Jun Shan entered the house, it was exactly like he imagined it would be. The decoration was minimalistic, just like the owner of the house. Qiao An came out from the kitchen in a pink apron. She had her hair in a ponytail.

"It's done. We can eat now" Qiao An was obviously in a good mood.

Shen Jun Shan thought if Qiao An's mood had something to do with Wallance. He felt uncomfortable with that thought. That brat Wallance was supposed to do his work diligently and obediently returned to City K after this. Since Wallance has a lot of time to chase a girl, Shen Jun Shan was determined to add more work to Wallance's part.

Amy Shen walked to the kitchen like she owned the house. "Woah! An An, the food looks great. I can't wait to taste this" After saying that, Amy Shen put the spaghetti to her mouth. "Very delicious."

The compliment from Amy Shen put a smile of Qiao An's face. Qiao An turned to Shen Jun Shan who was standing awkwardly in the living room. "I hope you like spaghetti" After that, she walked to the kitchen with Shen Jun Shan behind her.

The dinner was pleasant and like they usually did, most of the conversations monopolised by Amy Shen with her questions. Typically, Qiao An will answer in a short sentence, but this time, Qiao An was more talkative than she used to be.

"I heard from Wallance that both of you had lunch date this afternoon" Shen Jun Shan couldn't stand the curiosity in his heart. Amy Shen was probably shocked as she stared at Qiao An with wide eyes.

"Oh, no. It's not a date. I won't consider it as a date. We're just eating together, and then we talked about certain things. That's all" Qiao An brushed off the question like it was nothing to her. Shen Jun Shan was unconvinced.

"An An, you should not associate yourself with Wallance. He's not what he looks like" Amy Shen glanced at her brother. She was being careful of what she was saying. "My point is, don't involve yourself with Wallance."

Qiao An looked at Amy and then she looked at Shen Jun Shan. "I don't have that intention towards him. I found it interesting that we went to the same university, but I never saw him around the campus at that time. Maybe he looked different back then" Qiao An cut the cake and passed it to Shen Jun Shan first.

He knew it! Shen Jun Shan knew that Qiao An only invited him to taste the cake. And you never see Wallance in university? Good! It should remain that way. From the past, the present and the future, Qiao An should not see Wallance around.

"Eh? Really? My brother went to the same university as Wallance. They were even roommates. Have you ever seen my brother at university?" Amy Shen was surprised by the revelation. She never thought that her brother and Qiao An went to the same university.

Qiao An shook her head. She was positive that she never bumped into Shen Jun Shan in the Engineering faculty during their university days.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seven years ago.

The ratio of male undergraduate to female graduate in the Faculty of Engineering in University is 8:2. While the rate of male undergraduate to female undergraduate in the Faculty of Language and Education is vice versa. Since the Faculty of Engineering has a lot of workshops and labs, their faculty was the biggest in Z University.

The Faculty of Language and Education was the smallest as the number of students' intake per year was less than 100. Since the faculty was small, the number of rooms and classes were limited. Therefore, during the final exam, the Faculty of Education will use the classes in the Faculty of Engineering for exam purpose.

Final exam would be the happiest time for the students in the Faculty of Engineering as they would be able to see women in skirt and makeup walking around the building of their faculty that smells like men in every corner.

Among all the girls who came into their faculty, the male students in the faculty anticipated the arrival of the so-called "Short Skirt Group". Almost all the male students in the faculty knew about the girls. People only need to mention '4 girls, short skirt and blouse' and people will know it's them. All four of them looked different, but they have their charm.

It was the fourth day of the final exam. Lai Yi, You Ming and Wallance were ready with their laptop. While waiting for the girls, Lai Yi excitedly shared the information he received. Shen Jun Shan didn't know how, but somehow, his friends were able to get the information about those girls.

Yee Ling – You Ming's pick and a local from City K. She had a long hair up to her waist. She got a perm early this year. Standing at 169cm, she was the tallest in the group. Her eye-smile was very cute, and she was very talkative too. Whenever people asked for her number, she'll talk to them and led them astray. By the time Yee Ling said her goodbye, then only the people had realised that they didn't get her number all along.

Su Na – Wallance's pick and a local from City K. She was the only one with short bob hair. Standing at 150cm, she looked like she was only 17-year-old and she was the cutest in the group. Her haircut made her look younger. She was worshipped as a symbol of Lolita sister amongst the Otaku in the Faculty of Engineering. People will ask for her number, and she'll give it to them. Shen Jun Shan heard that after texting the girl a few times, they would stop texting her because her topic of conversation was too different from how she looked like.

Lei Xiao –A local from City K. She had a long chestnut brown hair down to her waist. Standing at 152cm, she always wears a ten-inches high heel to make herself taller. She usually spotted using blue, green or grey contacts. She had a dimple on her left cheek, and she had the prettiest smile amongst the four. Rumour has it that her boyfriend was a national karate athlete who represents the country. Nobody was brave enough to ask for her number.

An An – Nobody knew where she was from exactly or her full name as she rarely talks with other people. She only spoke to her friends. Even her roommates didn't know much about her. Some said she was from City K, and some said she was from City T. People said that she was from an influential background and her father was rich. Standing at 161cm, she had the best body amongst the four. People said that she had a bodybuilder boyfriend, but that remained speculation. Nobody ever gets her number as she will plainly say "NO" to every one of them. She rarely looks at people too, but people said that she looked even prettier when she smiled.

Everything remained as speculation since nobody dared to befriend with the girls. The men from engineering courses could only admire the four from afar, and that was enough to satisfy them.

"Here they are. Quick! Pretend that we are doing something important. Be cool! Be cool!" Wallance moved his laptop so it won't obstruct his face. His right hand was touching his chin as if he was thinking hard about something. Lai Yi and You Ming tried to be cool too. Only Shen Jun Shan remained unbothered and continued replying to the messages on his phone.

The four girls walked passed them. The spectacle girl was at the back; meanwhile, her three friends walked in front. The three men pretended not to look at the girls as the girls walked passed them. Shen Jun Shan stared at the girls openly, and he was rewarded with a smile from each of the girls except for the spectacle girl.

The spectacle girl didn't have any expression on her face. She walked by and suddenly stopped. The spectacle girl turned to look at Shen Jun Shan, and she smiled. As she was about to say something, the short hair girl gestured for the girl to hurry up with them.

From where they were sitting, the men could hear the conversation between the short hair girl and the spectacled girl.

"An, who's that handsome guy? Do you know him? Why did you stop?" The short hair girl looked back to look at Shen Jun Shan, so the men knew who the handsome one.

"He looked familiar. But maybe I'm mistaken" The spectacle girl turned to look at Shen Jun Shan and smiled at him.

The other men were jealous of Shen Jun Shan. They kind of regret the fact that they were too busy playing cool until they didn't look at the girls. If not, maybe the girls will smile at them as they did to Shen Jun Shan.
