The Film Emperor's Secretly Married Wife Ch. 21

Qi Zhen wore a baseball cap, an S University T-shirt, white sneakers, and skinny jeans that wrapped around her slender legs. She had an electronic watch on her wrist, looking the picture of youthful vitality.

She lifted the brim of her cap, revealing her bright eyes and smooth, beautiful forehead. "Nope."

Yu Jingxing smiled slightly, not insisting. He fixed her messy hair and gently said, "Remember to text me."

Qi Zhen arrived later than expected, and by the time she got there, the other three roommates had already arrived.

Seeing these half-acquainted people made her feel a little awkward. They had known each other for about a year, and she could barely remember their names. Since she had paid the dormitory fee but hadn't stayed there, she wasn't very familiar with them.

Despite this, Qi Zhen's memory, though faint, told her that one of her roommates was particularly fond of Yu Jingxing. The posters on the wall by her bed were all of Yu Jingxing's younger photos.

In his youthful, rebellious days, his gaze was aloof and cold, and he had eight-pack abs.

At the time, Qi Zhen had only glanced at it without thinking much of it. But now, looking at that poster again, her feelings were complicated.

Unexpectedly, a year later, Li Yuanyuan still liked Yu Jingxing so much.

Qi Zhen greeted everyone and handed each person a box of chocolates. She hadn't even remembered this, but Yu Jingxing had specifically asked her to bring them to her roommates. He probably had already anticipated that she'd feel awkward and made sure everything was prepared.

The chocolates Qi Zhen had given... were actually the ones she had found after searching for a while last night. They were probably a gift someone had given Yu Jingxing, left in the basement gathering dust. The price was relatively affordable compared to other expensive items like gold, silver, jewels, and wine.

After that came military training. Qi Zhen opened her suitcase, and for a moment, she was stunned to see that half of it was filled with sunscreen.

This naturally earned her the admiration of her entire dorm room.

The dorm leader, Huang Wenjing, adjusted her glasses and pulled the corner of her mouth as she looked at Qi Zhen. "Why so much sunscreen? Planning to bathe in it like a rich lady?"

Li Yuanyuan, who was in the upper bunk, chuckled. "Must be nice to have a rich family."

Qi Zhen hadn't expected Yu Jingxing to bring so much. How afraid was he of her getting sunburned?

And to make things worse, it was all L-brand sunscreen—expensive and hard to use. She regretted staying in bed so long yesterday.

Qi Zhen flipped through the suitcase. Everything else was pretty normal. The pajamas he brought her were a light pink set, with seven little pandas on them.

She thought for a moment, then looked up softly. "If you didn't bring enough, feel free to use mine. I accidentally packed too much."

Even though she was hardly around the whole school year, it didn't stop others from liking her.

Who doesn't love a pretty and cute soft girl?

Jing Zi immediately grabbed a bottle of sunscreen, smiling widely. "I didn't bring any! I'll borrow yours, and I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow!"

Qi Zhen smiled and nodded. "Sure!"

During this, she received a message from Yu Jingxing: [Have you finished packing?]

Qi Zhen sat down, resting her chin tiredly as she replied: [All packed, but I miss home.]

Yu Jingxing couldn't take care of her from so far away, so all he could do was give her a little advice: [Take care of yourself and don't get into any trouble with the other kids.]

Qi Zhen blushed a little, feeling a bit defiant: [I won't.]

As she typed, the ring on her ring finger became very noticeable.

Li Yuanyuan, who was scrolling through her idol's Weibo, chewing gum, casually remarked, "You're wearing a ring on your ring finger—does it have any special meaning?"

Jing Zi just rolled her eyes and muttered, "Why are you so nosy?"

Qi Zhen glanced at the poster of Yu Jingxing on Li Yuanyuan's wall, feeling a little guilty. She said to her, "It's a wedding ring."

Li Yuanyuan stared in disbelief. "You got married?!"

Jing Zi practically yelled, "What the hell?! You're married?!"

Even Huang Wenjing, who rarely showed any emotion, looked up. You couldn't see her expression under the face mask, but her eyes were full of shock.

Qi Zhen was totally stunned.

It was just a marriage—why was everyone reacting like this?

But even Qi Zhen herself didn't realize just how much people talked about her among their classmates.

It wasn't because she was super outstanding or had amazing grades or anything.

There was this one thread on the school BBS that totally blew up, called [Quietly Documenting the Daily Life of a Fairy Girl].

The original poster went by "Grass Carp A," a senior from the media department. He would randomly update the thread with little notes about a girl in their shared lecture class.

Fair-skinned, pretty, super cute—like she'd walked straight out of a shoujo manga.

A lot of students were actually kind of creeped out by that stalkerish behavior, but since the OP never did anything in real life and wrote everything with this soft, sentimental tone, it ended up gaining a bunch of followers and attention.

A few days would go by and there'd be a new post like:
[Fairy Girl came to class late today, cheeks puffed out white as snow while drinking milk, head down taking notes so seriously. She's so good. My heart can't handle the cuteness.]

Then later:
[Fairy Girl wore makeup today. All the guys around her kept sneaking glances. Is she meeting her boyfriend later? Feeling kinda down.]

Most recent update?
[Summer break flew by—I wonder how she's doing. Just thinking about her makes me happy.]

So yeah, a bunch of students were now hyping up the OP to just confess already. Sure, it was kinda creepy, but his feelings felt weirdly sincere.

Grass Carp A even wrote:
[I've always wanted to confess, but honestly, just watching her from afar feels like enough. She's just so cute. I'm losing my mind.]

But now the Fairy Girl was married.

Jing Zi suddenly felt super bad for Grass Carp A. Poor guy, all that innocent crushing aired out for the world... and turned out the girl he liked was already hitched.

The identity of the "Fairy Girl" wasn't hard to figure out. There were no real secrets on campus. But since BBS wasn't Weibo or some major forum, even though the post was popular, Qi Zhen's actual life stayed mostly undisturbed.
