A phone vibrated—it was Meng Chenzhou's.
He didn't pick it up immediately. Instead, he glanced at Zhan Yuxi one last time before turning and walking away.
As the sound of his footsteps faded into the distance, Zhan Yuxi felt her heart sink bit by bit.
What a terrible trip-such a disaster.
The trip was officially canceled.
Looking at the holiday plans they had once made together, Zhan Yuxi decided that since Meng Chenzhou wasn't coming, she'd go with Fang Jinglin instead.
She'd invite her best girlfriends who were available, and she'd cover all the expenses!
In the end, the group consisted of Zhan Yuxi, Fang Jinglin, her former cheerleading desk mate, and a few other classmates.
What Zhan Yuxi didn't know was that ever since the last sports meet, the entire cheerleading squad had become die-hard fans of her and Meng Chenzhou as a couple.
This time, they were seizing the chance to watch their “genius and goddess" interact up close during the holiday.
However, upon arriving at the destination, they quickly realized one of the main characters—Meng Chenzhou-was missing.
Exchanging glances, the group began to speculate uneasily.
Could something have happened to their beloved couple? Were there cracks in their perfect relationship?
No way. They had to get to the bottom of this!
As they enjoyed the trip, the cheerleaders kept an eager eye on Zhan Yuxi. Eventually, they gathered together to discuss their findings.
Their final conclusion? There was no emotional drama between the genius and goddess. Meng Chenzhou simply couldn't make it due to other obligations.
Well, that was fine too. With the genius absent, they had the goddess all to themselves.
Someone in the group came up with a plan to temporarily send Fang Jinglin off on an errand, leaving Zhan Yuxi surrounded by her girlfriends.
That was when the collective gossip session began. It started as casual chit-chat but quickly turned to Meng Chenzhou.
"Yuxi, are you and Meng Chenzhou gonna get engaged after graduation?" one of them asked, eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"When you have the wedding, can we be your bridesmaids?" another chimed in.
"Come on, tell us about you two! We're dying to know!" a third added enthusiastically.
Zhan Yuxi stared at them in disbelief.
She had no idea where this was coming from. "What are you all talking about? Stop joking around!" she protested.
