Transmigrated to Another World and Doted on by Everyone!-Chapter 107: Before School Starts

Chapter 107: Before School Starts
It was the last summer vacation before entering the third year of high school.
A few friends gathered together before school started.
Rong Xingyu always had the habit of arriving ten minutes early.
This time, too, he sat in the private room first, waiting for Qian Zhijun and the others.
He picked up his cup and took a sip of waterm
When he lowered his head slightly to look through the menu, he heard the private room door open.
"Xiaoyu! You came early~ Did you wait long?"
Hearing Qian Zhijun’s usual energetic voice, Rong Xingyu couldn’t help smiling.
"It’s okay, I didn’t wait—"
But when he saw who arrived, the smile on his face froze. The words "too long" didn’t come out.
Rong Xingyu widened his eyes and stared at Qian Zhijun in shock. "Zhijun? W-why are you so dark?"
Qian Zhijun... he didn’t know what he had been through.
Before the break he was white and chubby, but after one summer he had become this dark!
Calling his skin "wheat-colored" was already being polite.
It was clear that Qian Zhijun had been burned dark by the sun.
But his teeth were very white.
When Qian Zhijun saw the shocked look on Rong Xingyu’s face, he scratched his head and gave him a silly grin, showing his neat and very white teeth.
Rong Xingyu: ...
"My god! Qian Zhijun, did you go to Africa to dig a coal?" Zeng Youzhen and Yue Yeqiao came in right after and they were also shocked when they saw him.
Zeng Youzhen’s comment was very on point.
"Hey, hey, hey, what’s wrong with a guy being a little dark! I think being darker looks good."
Qian Zhijun had just said this when he suddenly saw Rong Xingyu’s rolled-up sleeve and the half-exposed arm that was so white it almost glowed.
Qian Zhijun: "..." So white.
He wanted to cry. He really didn’t expect himself to get this dark.
Sitting across from them, Zeng Youzhen also noticed Rong Xingyu’s arm and said with jealousy, "Xiaoyu, why are you so white! I dream of having pale white skin like yours."
"True!" Qian Zhijun nodded in agreement. "Didn’t you stay on that island for a week? Did you not go outside at all? How are you not even a little burned?"
They were all under the same sun, yet Rong Xingyu was still glowing white and Qian Zhijun just went out for some exercise and ended up looking like he went to Africa to dig coal...!
"Do you not know that something called sunscreen exists?" Zeng Youzhen said helplessly. "Not everyone is like you, standing under the sun on purpose."
"What brand of sunscreen do you use, Xiaoyu? It seems to work really well." Yue Yeqiao looked at him, her eyes practically spelling out "recommend it to me."
Rong Xingyu: "...Ah? I didn’t use sunscreen."
He touched the tip of his nose and said shyly, "I might just be naturally pretty white..."
Zeng Youzhen and Yue Yeqiao: "..."
Okay, stop talking. If he kept going, the jealousy would kill them.
This restaurant served food very fast.
All the hotpot dishes were brought in quickly.
While eating, Rong Xingyu suddenly noticed something different about Qian Zhijun.
Normally, Qian Zhijun loved meat more than anything.
Today, every time Rong Xingyu saw his chopsticks move toward the meat, Qian Zhijun suddenly pulled back like he made a big decision and instead grabbed vegetables.
"Zhijun, are you on a diet? Or are you in a relationship??"
"Don’t tell me you secretly got a girlfriend without us, Qian Zhijun!" Zeng Youzhen gasped. "That would be so rude of you~"
Qian Zhijun waved his hands fast. "No, no, not yet."
"So that means soon?" Zeng Youzhen blinked at him with a knowing look.
Qian Zhijun: "..."
Even though he was already so dark, somehow his face still managed to show a bit of red.
For once, he looked shy and after stuttering for a long time, he still didn’t manage to say anything clear.
Zeng Youzhen rested her chin on her hand and asked with bright interest, "You haven’t won her over yet? Then did you confess?"
Qian Zhijun’s eyes wandered around under all her questions.
His gaze accidentally swept over Yue Yeqiao, who sat beside Zeng Youzhen.
Yue Yeqiao also had her chin propped up, wearing the same gossip-hungry look as Zeng Youzhen.
Qian Zhijun: "..."
His voice became as soft as a mosquito’s, acting like a tough guy pretending to be cute right on the spot.
The tough-guy Qian Zhijun whispered, "She doesn’t even know I like her."
"Huh?" Zeng Youzhen looked disappointed. She glanced at Qian Zhijun with a bit of contempt. "No way, are you really this scared?"
She slapped the table hard and glared at him like she was scolding a useless soldier. "Just go for it! What the hell are you scared of!"
Rong Xingyu almost jumped from the loud slap on the table.
He looked across at Zeng Youzhen who was speaking so boldly.
When he first met her, he never would have guessed that under her quiet and gentle appearance lived a very wild soul.
Truly, you can’t judge a person by their looks.
"Th-then what should I do?" Qian Zhijun instinctively glanced at Yue Yeqiao, then looked back at the two girls across from him and asked seriously.
"You should do this—" Zeng Youzhen got excited when she saw how eager Qian Zhijun was. She leaned forward slightly and began sharing her "exclusive dating knowledge."
"And then do this— and at the end do this—"
Zeng Youzhen spoke with confidence and Yue Yeqiao helped add more details on the side.
Qian Zhijun kept nodding the whole time.
He even thought about pulling out his phone to take notes.
He was definitely more attentive than when he listened to math class.
But the difference was that this dating guide was something he could at least barely understand.
Math class, on the other hand, sounded like a foreign language.
The harder he tried, the sadder he became.
