Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 335 - 226: Be My Girlfriend!

Coming out of the security office.

Lin Yufei pretended to be angry and walked ahead, acting like she didn’t want to pay attention to Shen Yixiao.

Kong Xiaoyi cheerfully teased from behind, "Shen Scumbag, is this the Christmas gift you gave Yu Fei?"

"What a surprise!"

Shen Yixiao scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed. He had planned everything meticulously, thinking this surprise would be foolproof!

But he ended up getting caught by the University of Political Science and Law’s security office, and Lin Yufei had to bail him out. It couldn’t be more awkward.

"This was just an accident."

"Who knew your school was so strict, not even letting people in!"

Shen Yixiao shrugged innocently.

"Call me!"

"I could have picked you up!"

Lin Yufei, walking ahead, responded angrily.

"Yu Fei, Brother Xiao was really trying to give you a surprise."

Wang Yunpeng helped explain.

He even wanted to mention Shen Yixiao’s plan to set off fireworks, but Shen Yixiao stopped him in time.

The bag with the fireworks and candles was still outside the wall, and the spot they chose was quite hidden, so it probably wouldn’t be lost.

So, Shen Yixiao hadn’t completely abandoned his plan.

Fireworks were bought, candles too!

They couldn’t be just given up because of getting caught while climbing the wall.

"Hmm, call first next time."

Shen Yixiao nodded, then quickly changed the subject, "I’m a bit hungry, is your school cafeteria good?"

"You’ll know when you try it."

The group of four headed to the cafeteria.

But by now, the cafeteria was almost closed, with less than half of the stalls still open.

Lin Yufei ordered a few stir-fried dishes. Shen Yixiao, having been fussing around for half the day, was really hungry. Once the dishes arrived, he started digging in, finishing one bowl of rice and adding another.

His ravenous manner made Lin Yufei frown, while Kong Xiaoyi joked on the side, "Shen Scumbag, how many days haven’t you eaten?"

"Don’t mention it, the flight was delayed because of snow. I only had one airplane meal, and it was horribly disgusting..."

Shen Yixiao chewed his food while complaining.

His original plan was to take Lin Yufei for a fancy dinner after the confession succeeded.

But the flight was delayed, and he got caught by the security office!

Forget about the fancy dinner after confession.

The crucial confession step couldn’t even start.

After dinner at the cafeteria, it was already very late.

Less than twenty minutes before the girls’ dormitory closed.

"Wang Yunpeng, come here, I’ve got something to discuss."

Kong Xiaoyi, sharp as ever, called Wang Yunpeng, the third wheel, away.

"Xiaoyi, are you reconsidering?"

Called aside, Wang Yunpeng asked naively.

"What are you thinking!"

"I’m just making room for Yu Fei and Brother Xiao."

Kong Xiaoyi rolled her eyes.

"Oh, I see!"

Wang Yunpeng sounded a bit disappointed but still took out a prepared gift, "Merry Christmas!"

"You should save that for your girlfriend."

Kong Xiaoyi didn’t take it, gently waving her hand.

"Can’t friends give Christmas gifts?"

Wang Yunpeng insisted, extending the gift forward.

"Alright."

"Thanks, friend!"

Kong Xiaoyi wasn’t overly pretentious and accepted the gift when Wang Yunpeng insisted.

Meanwhile,

Shen Yixiao took out the Christmas gift he prepared, a beautiful bracelet.

But this time, it was wrapped in a gift box, so Lin Yufei didn’t know what was inside.

But she was definitely happy.

"I also prepared a gift for you, it’s been sent to your school!"

Lin Yufei said as she accepted the gift.

"So that was the gift you sent, I was wondering why I received a call from the courier."

Shen Yixiao received a call from the courier this morning. He didn’t know what it was and let the courier leave it at the school’s parcel collection point.

If he knew it was a Christmas gift from Lin Yufei, he would have run to the school to sign for it.

"Where are you staying tonight?"

Lin Yufei asked again.

"At the hotel I stayed at last time."

"With Wang Yunpeng."

"Oh!"

Lin Yufei responded, suddenly unsure what to say.

"Want to go out and play tomorrow?"

After a moment of silence, Shen Yixiao asked.

"Where to?"

"How about Universal Studios?"

Before coming, Shen Yixiao had decided to take Lin Yufei to Universal Studios for fun.

Couples should go to places couples go.

"Sure!"

Lin Yufei agreed readily, then asked, "Just the two of us, or should we invite Xiaoyi and Wang Yunpeng?"

"You decide."

"Let’s go together, the more the merrier, and we can take pictures of each other!"

Lin Yufei was worried that just she and Shen Yixiao would be awkward, as their relationship still hadn’t been defined.

"Sure, whatever you say!"

Shen Yixiao nodded.

A wave of silence followed again.

When the final layer of mystery is yet to be unraveled, it’s the most tangled time; some words can’t be said, some can’t be spoken.

"Can you not blabber to the security office next time?"

"My counselor called, saying my boyfriend was caught by the school’s security office, I was dumbfounded!"

Lin Yufei was the first to break the silence, shifting the topic to clarify their relationship.

If Shen Yixiao were smart, he should follow up on this topic and directly confess or clarify their relationship.

But, Shen Yixiao completely missed Lin Yufei’s intended storyline; he just nodded, "Got it. I was also in a hurry then."
