Chapter 60: Being Stared at

"You mustn't tell anyone! I'm only telling you two because I trust you," Ji Xiaonuan quickly admonished.

Xu Wenwen and Lin Xin were about to cry out in joy but immediately felt disappointed.

"Seriously, Ji Xiaonuan? Are you still planning to have an underground relationship?" The two asked in surprise.

"Then what do you think I should do? Keep being the campus celebrity?" Ji Xiaonuan said helplessly.

"What's wrong with being a campus celebrity? Your boyfriend is Chi Jun'an! That's enough to make others jealous!" Xu Wenwen said happily.

"…I just want to get my graduation certificate peacefully," Ji Xiaonuan said speechlessly.

"All right, all right," the two waved their hands in disappointment. "Don't worry, we definitely won't spread the word. We'll solve the problem for you now. But remember, you must make the male god treat us to a meal again!"

Ji Xiaonuan agreed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

However, since her popularity on campus hadn't subsided yet, to avoid being stared at, Ji Xiaonuan thought about it and finally decided not to go to class but to stay in the dormitory and study by herself.

Lin Xin and Xu Wenwen were indeed quite resourceful. They also had small accounts on the school forum. They simply posted a few threads, questioning why an ordinary person would usually try to settle things quietly, but Li Qiuling was so eager to make the matter bigger. Could it be that she had a guilty conscience?

With their questioning, some people followed suit and also raised doubts. Li Qiuling seemed to be in a hurry and argued with them even more eagerly. But the more she argued, the more people became suspicious of her.

Many members who participated in the Student Council activities that day also came forward to testify directly that it was Li Qiuling who first proposed the idea of asking Ji Xiaonuan to invite Chi Jun'an.

Suddenly, the trend of the replies on the forum changed completely. People shifted from scolding the Student Council President to scolding both him and Li Qiuling, and they even scolded Li Qiuling more severely.

"Evil deeds will eventually be punished!" Having accomplished their goal, the two said contentedly.

Suddenly, Xu Wenwen seemed to remember something. She looked at Ji Xiaonuan. "Christmas is coming soon. Have you thought about what gift to give the male god?"

Ji Xiaonuan was stunned.

In the past, Christmas was no different from an ordinary day for her.

But now, since she had a boyfriend, she should, like an ordinary girl, carefully consider what gift to give her boyfriend.

After all... she really had a good impression of Chi Jun'an.

"I still don't know what he likes," Ji Xiaonuan frowned. "Maybe I should find an opportunity to ask him?"

"Why?" Lin Xin couldn't help rolling her eyes at her. "If you ask him in advance, where's the surprise in giving the gift on Christmas Day?"

Ji Xiaonuan nodded in agreement and said distressfully, "Then I'll think about it carefully."

But just thinking randomly like this, Ji Xiaonuan couldn't come up with any good ideas.

In the end, she decided to just ask Chi Jun'an directly.

She couldn't ask him openly, so she would find a way to ask him indirectly by dropping hints.

However, even though she was hiding in the dormitory, Ji Xiaonuan still couldn't avoid being stared at by others.

From time to time, girls from other dormitories would come over to chat or something. Ji Xiaonuan knew very well that these people were all coming to see her.

In the end, Lin Xin and Xu Wenwen simply ran out of the dormitory, while Ji Xiaonuan still hid in the dormitory but pretended not to be there, not answering the phone and not opening the door.

It wasn't until evening that Chi Jun'an called directly.

Ji Xiaonuan answered the phone in surprise.

"Ji Xiaonuan, let's have dinner together tonight," Chi Jun'an said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Ji Xiaonuan said blankly. "We already had breakfast together this morning?"

"How can breakfast be the same as dinner?" Chi Jun'an smiled faintly. "I'm already outside your school. Will you come out, or should I go in and pick you up?"

"…I'll come out now," Ji Xiaonuan immediately backed down.

If Chi Jun'an came in, she had just managed to calm things down for a while, and there would probably be another commotion.

Moreover, this was a good opportunity to ask him if he wanted anything.

Ji Xiaonuan put on a baseball cap and wrapped her face tightly with a scarf, then sneaked out of the dormitory all the way.

Sneaking out of the school like a thief, Ji Xiaonuan saw Chi Jun'an's car from a distance and couldn't wait to get in.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chi Jun'an's eyes. "Why are you being so sneaky?"

"I'm avoiding people," Ji Xiaonuan said distressfully. "I don't want to either, but now I'm almost being stared at like a panda."

Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows slightly. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's not a big deal, is it?" Ji Xiaonuan said. "In a few days, others will forget about me."

Chi Jun'an's eyes darkened. He had been negligent. Ji Xiaonuan had such a personality that she didn't like to trouble others and didn't care too much about things.

As her boyfriend, he should take the initiative to help her solve these problems.

"By the way, I have something to tell you," Ji Xiaonuan suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Chi Jun'an looked at her.

"Can we put off the matter of me being your secretary for a while?" Ji Xiaonuan said.

"You don't want to do it?" Chi Jun'an looked at her with a hint of melancholy. Meeting his deep eyes, Ji Xiaonuan felt her heart beating even faster. When looking directly at him, Ji Xiaonuan felt that she could hardly refuse any of his requests.

"It's not that I don't want to..." Ji Xiaonuan blushed a little. "The final exam is in half a month, and I want to review carefully."

"But after you finish the final exam, the winter vacation will start," Chi Jun'an's eyes showed a bit more melancholy. "Do you mean you can stay with me during the winter vacation?"

"…Yes," Ji Xiaonuan said in a low voice.

"What?" Chi Jun'an looked at her in surprise. The next moment, he reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, his eyes filled with an unbelievable joy. "Ji Xiaonuan, say it again."

"I was just going to tell you about this," Ji Xiaonuan blushed slightly. "I've already called my parents and told them that I'll go back later this winter vacation. But I haven't found a place to live yet..."

"Why do you need to find a place to live? Stay at my place," Chi Jun'an smiled faintly.

"You?" Ji Xiaonuan looked at him warily.

"Ji Xiaonuan, don't you trust me?" There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Ji Xiaonuan suddenly felt her heart skip a beat. When facing Chi Jun'an, she really didn't feel like herself at all.

No, no. She mustn't be seduced by his good looks.

"It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that your favorability level isn't high enough for us to live together," Ji Xiaonuan thought for a moment and said.

Chi Jun'an pondered. This statement was actually not much different from not trusting him.

"I promise you that I will never do anything to you as long as you don't agree," he said softly. "It's not easy to find a house now. Just tell your parents that you're staying at a classmate's place."

Ji Xiaonuan's heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, she believed Chi Jun'an's promise. Moreover, he had always had a good reputation.

"Do you really promise?" She confirmed again.
