Upon hearing this, Li Zimeng immediately closed the window, nervously observing Nan Zhi’s reaction.
“Zhi Zhi, are you okay?”
She shook her head gently. “I’m fine. As long as I wasn’t on the playground inhaling large amounts, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Geng Tiantian asked, “Does Feng Sinian know about your pollen allergy?”
Nan Zhi’s eyelids fluttered slightly. “He used to know.”
Wan Xiaoshan angrily placed her hands on her hips. “Since he knows you’re allergic to pollen and also knows you have P.E. class this morning, what’s his intention in decorating the playground like this?”
“He probably forgot,” Nan Zhi said lightly before turning back to her desk to retrieve her allergy medication. “Whether he confesses today or not, I still have to attend my P.E. class.”
Li Zimeng quickly extinguished the thought that she had initially found Feng Sinian romantic and gave the playground a middle finger.
While waiting for the others to finish washing up, Wan Xiaoshan slumped in her chair and opened the campus forum.
The hottest post was titled: 【Shocking! Feng Sinian actually spent an entire night personally decorating the playground!】
She clicked on it disdainfully. The photo showed Feng Sinian bending over on the playground, spreading flowers.
Wan Xiaoshan scoffed coldly. “Who knows which girl is worth him putting in so much effort, even more than Zhi Zhi.”
Geng Tiantian joined the discussion. “Is it the department beauty from the Chinese department or the digital media department? Or maybe that sophomore senior? I heard they’re all chasing after Feng Sinian.”
Nan Zhi knew it wouldn’t be any of them.
Bai Wei was at Jing University. She wasn’t sure if Feng Sinian knew.
Nan Zhi suddenly paused her toothbrushing, remembering something.
Feng Sinian’s WeChat name was 【Awaiting the Moon’s Return】. So the moon he was waiting for was Bai Wei.
Bai Wei had disappeared for half a year but reappeared just before Feng Sinian’s confession. They must have reconnected.
But this had nothing to do with her. Feng Sinian had already been admitted to the top university in Country A, fulfilling his parents’ wishes. He truly had nothing left to worry about.
To prevent Nan Zhi from having an allergic reaction to the large patch of roses on the playground, the other three deliberately took a detour with her to the classroom.
Along the way, Nan Zhi received many curious glances, mostly because people thought she was the heroine of the confession event.
As soon as they entered the classroom, a crowd surged toward them.
“Nan Zhi, is Feng Sinian going to confess to you?”
“Wow, I’m so jealous of you! I heard you’ve known each other for over ten years!”
“Feng Sinian didn’t sleep all night and personally handled all the decorations. You must be so touched, right?”
Wan Xiaoshan and the other two pushed through the crowd of gossiping students, clearing a path for Nan Zhi to her seat.
“I’ve already said it—we’re just neighbors. I’m not the one he’s confessing to.”
“The English teacher is very strict about classroom discipline. I’m sure none of you want her to see everyone crowded together like this, right?”
Remembering the cold, merciless English teacher who would even throw chalk if someone answered incorrectly, the crowd instantly quieted down and returned to their seats.
Nan Zhi felt the air in front of her clear considerably and let out a soft sigh.
“Since we have P.E. class third and fourth period, maybe we should skip it?” Geng Tiantian whispered after sitting down in the back row. “What if Feng Sinian chooses to confess exactly during our P.E. class? Since Zhi Zhi isn’t the one he’s confessing to, wouldn’t the scene be super awkward?”
Li Zimeng coughed a reminder. “Ahem, the teacher is coming in.”
Nan Zhi sat by the window, faintly able to hear the commotion coming from the playground.
She only hoped Feng Sinian’s confession would end during the first or second class period. After all, with the sports field occupied and only the track usable, she worried their physical education class might turn into a running session.
——Under the large banyan tree beside the sports field, Feng Sinian kept staring at his phone.
His roommate beside him nudged him with a teasing grin. “What, waiting for a message from your Childhood Friend?”
Feng Sinian was indeed waiting for Nan Zhi’s reply. He had sent her a message last night, but she still hadn’t responded.
He remembered she had classes this morning, so she should have been up long ago.
Unaware that Feng Sinian’s confession target wasn’t Nan Zhi, his roommate continued to joke, “Why the hurry? Isn’t her P.E. class soon? You’ll see her in a bit.”
Feng Sinian froze. “Her P.E. class is this morning?”
His reaction startled the person beside him. “You… forgot?”
As if just remembering, he glanced at the flowers on the field, his brow furrowing slightly.
He had forgotten Nan Zhi had P.E. today, and even more, he had forgotten she was allergic to pollen.
But his self-reproach didn’t last long before his phone chimed.
Seeing who it was from, Feng Sinian’s expression relaxed.
Thinking it was Nan Zhi replying, his roommate tactfully walked away without peeking.
Moonlight: 【Sinian, I heard about you decorating the field all night】
【Though confessions should be full of surprises, everyone around is talking about it, so I couldn’t help but find out】
【Just thinking about being the one you’ll confess to later fills me with happiness】
【Sinian, after all this time apart, I’m so glad you still love me】
Awaiting the Moon’s Return: 【Weiwei, our life together is just beginning】
P.E. classes were chosen freely by each student, and all four roommates of Dorm 606 had chosen volleyball.
After calculus class ended, Li Zimeng tentatively asked Nan Zhi if she still planned to attend P.E.
“Of course, why wouldn’t I?” Nan Zhi stood up, books in hand, looking relaxed. “P.E. takes attendance, and my athletic skills are already poor. If I lose participation points, I’m worried I might not pass the final exam. Besides, the P.E. teacher just announced that today’s class has been moved to the gymnasium.”
“Oh, really?” Wan Xiaoshan immediately checked the group chat and couldn’t help but laugh. “From the tone of the P.E. teacher’s message, you can tell she’s pretty annoyed about the field being occupied. It’s messed up our class location.”
Geng Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief. “Then it won’t affect P.E. class.”
The gymnasium was next to the sports field, and to get there, they had to pass by the field.
As the class sports committee member, Wan Xiaoshan usually handled moving the equipment. This time, Nan Zhi volunteered to go to the equipment room.
Geng Tiantian eyed Nan Zhi’s injured right hand suspiciously. “Zhi Zhi, are you sure you can manage with your injury? Should I go with you?”
“Volleyballs aren’t heavy,” Nan Zhi said, just wanting to avoid the field. “I can handle it with one hand.”
“It looks like things are about to start over there,” Wan Xiaoshan glanced toward the field from a distance. “It’s better for Zhi Zhi to stay out of sight.”
Nan Zhi spotted Feng Sinian standing in the center of the field and narrowed her eyes.
There was no denying it—her Childhood Friend was indeed a dazzling presence. Just standing there, he could attract countless girls’ attention.
She chose a path facing away from Feng Sinian’s direction and headed toward the equipment room.
“Why hasn’t the female lead shown up yet? Looks like Feng Sinian is about to start!”
“Maybe she’s too shy to show her face?”
“It’s just a confession, not a marriage proposal. There’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
