Senior, wrong!

Chapter 8 Strange Combinations
With Ling Yan's help, Ye Taotao successfully sent the equipment to the drama club.

"Taotao, you're finally back?" As soon as she entered, a senior from the drama club rushed out.Before Ye Taotao answered, she directed Ling Yan without looking back: "Hurry up, move things to that place, the president will go crazy."

"Hey, senior sister..." Seeing this scene, the corner of Ye Taotao's mouth twitched, and she carefully glanced at Ling Yan's face from the corner of her eye.When he was about to remind the senior, Ling Yan smiled and helped move the equipment to the required position with kindness.

The senior sister didn't notice her strangeness, and looked at his back with satisfaction: "This young man is not bad, go back and try to drag him into our club."

Ye Taotao: "..." The picture is too beautiful to look at.

"Thank you, but I'm sorry, I already have a club." Ling Yan who returned just in time heard this sentence, and replied calmly.

"..." The senior who saw his face clearly had already entered the Spartan state, and her whole body was petrified.

On the other hand, Ling Yan cast his eyes on Ye Taotao, and said with a smile: "The junior girl, I'll go back first." Those black eyes were like fragments of the night, but they were as gentle as the spring breeze in March, easily losing their minds.

"Ah, good..." By the time Ye Taotao realized it, he had already left.

"Taotao, that person just now...was Ling Yan?" At this time, the senior sister who had just woken up from a dream came back to her senses, and belatedly turned her gaze to Ye Taotao.

"Yes."

The senior sister was stunned, and then felt that she was about to collapse: "Ahhh, I actually directed Ling Yan to work just now!"

The roar of the senior sister next to her was deafening, but Ye Taotao turned a deaf ear to it, and unconsciously looked in the direction Ling Yan left.

That's right, she hasn't thanked him just now...

After getting mad, the senior sister wanted to ask Ye Taotao further about Ling Yan, but Ye Taotao also ran away after all.

Ye Taotao didn't know how she got back to the dormitory in the end.

Her mind was disturbed, and she didn't know anything even when her senior sister asked her just now.

I just remember her eyes full of gossip and admiration when she left Senior Ten.

Ye Taotao always felt that people on the road looked at her a little strangely, and she didn't dare to stay in the cafeteria for a long time, so she hurriedly packed two meals and went back to the dormitory without looking back.

After closing the bedroom door, Ye Taotao turned around and called Song Linlin, who was still lying on the bed, to come down for dinner.

"Taotao, you are the best." Song Linlin cheered and climbed off the bed, and took the lunch box from Ye Taotao.

As if remembering something, she asked what happened just now: "Yes, Taotao, did you receive a text message from the president just now? Is she in a hurry?"

"What happened just now?" Dazed for a moment, Ye Taotao also remembered.So she simply told Song Linlin about Li Qingyan's entrustment to her. Of course, Ling Yan's part was naturally omitted by her.

"It turned out to be this matter, no wonder I saw the president's text message when I got up, and when I replied to her, she said 'it's all right'." Song Linlin bit her ribs, and then pointed to the bottom of Ye Taotao's table, "That's right , when did you buy the racket? Do you want to learn tennis?"

Tennis rackets?
Suddenly remembered something, Ye Taotao exclaimed: "Ah, that's terrible!"

"what happened?"

"I almost forgot...Xiaolin, when you go to class later, remember to remind me to take this tennis bag with me. I will return the racket to classmate Xu Qiyuan first."

Song Linlin showed a puzzled expression: "Xu Qiyuan?"

Who is Xu Qiyuan?Why is his tennis bag in Taotao's place?
Song Linlin's inner doubts lasted until the legal history class in the afternoon.

After class, Ye Taotao picked up her tennis bag and walked out of the classroom quickly.

Song Linlin followed with some confusion.

Originally, she planned to go directly to the tennis club to find someone, but as soon as she walked out of the teaching building, Ye Taotao unexpectedly met the person she wanted to find.

Xu Qiyuan's familiar figure was walking on the school road not far away, and she hurried to catch up.

"Student Xu Qiyuan, please wait!"

Hearing someone calling his name, Xu Qiyuan stopped and looked around.

Soon, he saw Ye Taotao walking towards him quickly.

"That's the racket you left in the car on Friday."

"Huh? My racket?" When Xu Qiyuan saw the tennis bag in Ye Taotao's hand, the blankness in his eyes instantly turned into surprise, "Great, it turns out that the president's racket was picked up by you."

"President?" Ye Taotao keenly caught the key words in his words.

"Yes, this racket belongs to President Ling Yan." Xu Qiyuan scratched his hair in embarrassment, and smiled awkwardly, "I walked too fast that day, and accidentally took his tennis racket by mistake."

Ye Taotao: "..." She didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I thought I lost it at first... I'm sorry, my stomach hurts again, I'll go to the toilet first." Xu Qiyuan paused, then bent over to cover his stomach suddenly, his face turned slightly pale, "You help me bring the tennis racket to the club Longer, thank you!" He begged quickly, and after saying this, he ran away in a hurry.

"..."

"Taotao?" Song Linlin, who came out of the teaching building, saw her friend standing motionless on the school road at a glance, stepped forward in doubt, and waved her hand in front of her eyes.

"Leave them alone, let's return the tennis bag first." Ye Taotao tugged the strap of the tennis bag that was about to fall off, and shook her head.

Song Linlin nodded.

The two quickened their pace and walked towards the tennis court.

The sound of hitting the ball became clearer and clearer. It was strange that there were not many people watching the excitement outside the tennis court - they all glanced into the tennis court and left in a hurry.

Ye Taotao originally thought that the perimeter of the tennis court would be completely enclosed.

However, when she saw Zhen Tianyu, who looked like a black-faced god, guarding the entrance of the tennis court, she suddenly understood the reason for the lack of people.Song Linlin walked to the net with some curiosity, looked into the field, and immediately gasped: "Tao Tao Tao Tao, look, that's not yours..."

"Huh?" Ye Taotao looked into the tennis court with doubts, but with just one glance, she suddenly felt ill.

what happened?What a strange combination! ?
A ball flew towards Ye Jiaze, he was both joyful and nervous, but he swung the racket too hard, the racket was suddenly thrown out of his hand, and almost hit the innocent Ling Yan who was standing beside him.

However, Ling Yan flashed lightly, turned around and got behind Ye Jiaze, and caught the ball just now without any mistakes. His opponent was caught off guard and missed the catch.

Ye Jiaze laughed embarrassingly and said, "Hehehe, my hands are slippery."

"It's okay." Ling Yan smiled slightly, his tone was always gentle.

On the tennis court, a doubles match is going on.

At the end of a round, Lian Chenghao's cold and powerful voice resounded in the tennis court, making the atmosphere in the court even more tense.

Doubles matches are not uncommon in the tennis club of University A, and they can often be seen in weekly practice matches.

And the reason why this doubles match is so eye-catching is not because of the doubles match itself, but because of the players who participated in this match.

The one being challenged was Cheng Rui, and his usual partner, Liu Yiqian, was naturally paired with him.

Just, another pair of combinations...

"Huh? Where did this middle school student come from?"

"I just heard the referee call... Ye what? Which 'Ye'? Wait a minute! What does that middle school student have to do with Ye Taotao, who has always abandoned Ling Yan?"

"But isn't the surname 'Ye' very common?"

"Then why did Senior Ling form a team with him? If it doesn't matter...isn't it too suspicious?"

The murmurs of discussion reached Ye Taotao's ears, but she didn't seem to notice it, and her eyes never moved away from the venue.

So many things happened in one day, it really tormented her a lot.

She fixedly looked at Ling Yan on the tennis court.Watch him toss the ball straight up, racket up, face back, and—hit!Watching that smear of yellow fly towards Cheng Rui and Liu Yiqian's field at super high speed.

Seeing that the small ball hit the bottom line of the teeing area accurately, Cheng Rui and Liu Yiqian's rackets didn't even touch the ball. The ball suddenly turned around and whizzed past the gap between the two of them—— Score straight from the serve.

Of course, these are not the point, the point is - who will tell her what's going on? !
Rewind the time to 10 minutes ago - on the way to the tennis club with Liu Yiqian, Cheng Rui was stopped by Ye Jiaze who suddenly appeared.

"Sister Ye Taotao's younger brother?" Looking at the boy in front of him who was a head shorter than him, Cheng Rui raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Do you dare to accept my challenge?" Ye Jiaze waved the tennis ball in his hand, and said straight to the point, "If you want to pursue my sister, you have to pass my test first."

A look of surprise flashed across Cheng Rui's eyes, and then he realized that the other party must have misunderstood something.

But he was not in a hurry to clarify the misunderstanding, but instead provoked a smile of unknown meaning: "Of course, but..."

Then Cheng Rui said calmly that he was used to playing doubles, so...

"This is my partner Liu Yiqian."

He put his hand on Liu Yiqian's shoulder, and "kindly" reminded, "If you want to challenge me, you have to find someone to form a team with you."

"..." Liu Yiqian, whose name was called, glanced at him, then looked away calmly, and the lenses of his glasses flickered at the same moment.

"This..." Hearing these words, Ye Jiaze, who was originally full of fighting spirit, immediately withered like a frost-beaten eggplant.

Finding a doubles partner now is obviously not very realistic.But leaving like this, he felt unwilling.

So, what to do?Ye Jiaze felt very embarrassed.

This kid is really a fool.Seeing Ye Jiaze with a troubled expression, Cheng Rui raised the corners of his mouth.

But the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"How about I be his partner?" A voice that was so gentle that it was unreal suddenly entered the ears of the three.

Cheng Rui turned around and looked at Ling Yan who was coming towards him with a stiff face: "President..."

"I hope you can show mercy in the future, Cheng Rui." Ling Yan's tone was light, but he didn't give the other party any room to refuse.

Thus, this weird doubles match began.

The game is still going on.It was still the team of Ling Yan and Ye Jiaze who served the ball. The previous few times, it was Ling Yan who served the ball. They were beautiful and skilled, and they all scored directly.

Ye Jiaze was bored and unhappy with this kind of ball that he couldn't play, so he made a request to Ling Yan: "Let me play some balls too."

Ling Yan looked at him and didn't refuse, he tossed the ball with a smile: "Okay, then you have a try."

"It will definitely impress you!" Ye Jiaze said confidently. When the tennis ball flew towards him, the tennis racket drew a perfect arc in the air. The whole posture was neat and powerful. His eyes were full of confidence, and his face With a smile on his face, however—this swing of the racket missed again.

Ye Jiaze's expression froze at the same moment.

"So..." Song Linlin turned her head to look at Ye Taotao, looking away from the strange pair on the tennis court, with a face of sudden realization, "The person who really split Xue Ling's long leg was Senior Cheng..."

Ye Taotao: "..." This is Ye Taotao's complicated mood that is hard to describe in words at the moment.

And the scene in front of me can only be described in one word.

That is - miserable, no, forbearance, see!This doubles match naturally developed into a one-sided beating match in the end.

Ling Yan successfully won the last round with a series of ace balls. The combination of Cheng Rui and Liu Yiqian lost 1 to 6 to the combination of Ye Jiaze and Ling Yan without any suspense. To be precise, it was a disastrous defeat to Ling Yan.

"It's amazing!" Ye Jiaze turned his head and looked at Ling Yan with eyes full of admiration, "Brother, what's your name?"

Ling Yan was taken aback for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face: "My name is..."

"Ye Jiaze!" At this point, Ye Taotao couldn't stand it anymore.Regardless of how people inside and outside the tennis court would react, under Song Linlin's surprised gaze, she strode into the tennis court and grabbed Ye Jiaze by the collar. "Jia Ze! What are you doing?"

Ye Jiaze's face froze, and he immediately panicked: "Tao, Taotao, why are you here?"

"I should be the one to ask you this question, right?" Ye Taotao knocked him on the head, then turned to Ling Yan anxiously, "Senior..."

"It's okay." The smile in Ling Yan's eyes deepened, "Sister Xue's younger brother is very cute."

Ye Taotao: "..."

so cute……

Yep, so cute you want to give him a good slap.

Ye Taotao thought so, so she really did it.

"Senior, I'm sorry to cause you trouble again." Taking a deep breath, Ye Taotao picked up the notebook that she had been holding in her arms, and drew it towards Ye Jiaze.

Ye Jiaze immediately ran away with his head in his arms: "Ahh, Taotao! Don't hit your face! Don't hit your head either! You'll become an idiot!"

Seeing Ye Taotao chasing Ye Jiaze away, Ling Yan chuckled, "You're really energetic." He looked away, and his eyes fell on Cheng Rui who was beside him.

He said in a light tone: "Cheng Rui, the inter-school friendly match will start next month. It seems that you are not doing well in this state."

Cheng Rui raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously looked at Liu Yiqian who was emitting black air from behind.

On the surface, he didn't seem to care, but in fact, he was already howling in his heart.He suddenly regretted why he didn't explain the misunderstanding clearly just now, as if he had accidentally played it off.

Fifteen minutes later, in a dessert house not far from University A.

"It's all Jiaze's fault." Ye Taotao tried hard to suppress the urge to beat Ye Jiaze up again, and gave him an angry look.Just now, she was only focused on teaching him a lesson, but she forgot to return the tennis bag to Ling Yan.

It wasn't until I came here that I remembered the tennis bag on my back.

"What nonsense, it's obviously your own problem." Ye Jiaze said with a puffy face.

"What did you say?"

"Okay, don't talk about that, let's order." Song Linlin interrupted the two of them loudly, and stuffed the menu into their hands, "Whatever you want to eat, order whatever you want, I will treat you today."

But at this moment, the wind chimes of the dessert house rang.

"After losing the game, what are you doing here?" Ye Jiaze jumped up from his seat suddenly, and looked warily at Cheng Rui who just came in from the door—with him was a very sunny-looking Handsome boys.

Seeing Ye Taotao and the others, Cheng Rui showed a slightly surprised expression, and then habitually raised the corners of his mouth: "What a coincidence, two junior girls, and Ye Xuemei's younger brother."

"Sit down, don't be rude." Ye Taotao pulled Ye Jiaze back to the seat in embarrassment, then looked up at Cheng Rui, "Senior Cheng, I'm sorry. And this..."

The boy introduced himself enthusiastically: "My name is Jiang Hao, and I am from the same family as this guy."

"Hey? What do you call him? Senior Cheng? Wait—you're not Ling Yan?" Ye Jiaze finally heard something was wrong from the conversation between the two, and hurriedly asked, "Then... who is Ling Yan?"

Cheng Rui raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.

Jiang Hao looked at Ye Jiaze, and asked strangely: "The handsome guy who teamed up with you just now is Ling Yan, don't you know?"

Boom!Boom!Boom!

There was lightning and thunder in the inner world, and Ye Jiaze felt as if struck by lightning: "What, what!?"

What is more tragic than admitting the wrong person is that the person you "hate" has become an idol in your heart by mistake, but you are still kept in the dark until the matter reaches the point of no return. Get the truth.

How would you feel if this happened to you?
At this time, Ye Jiaze wished he could dig a hole and bury himself immediately.

——Unfortunately, there is no shovel or hole in this dessert house.

"I'm sorry!" Ye Jiaze was still a good boy in essence, knowing that he had admitted the wrong person, he quickly bowed down to Cheng Rui to apologize.

"It's okay." Cheng Rui forgave him graciously, bought some snacks, and left the dessert house with Jiang Hao.

"It turned out to be just a misunderstanding." At this time, a slightly disappointed sigh came from the next door, "It's a pity, unfortunately, I really thought that Cheng Rui chopped Ling Yan's leg..."

Song Linlin looked at the table next to her in surprise: "Sister Chengcheng, when did you come?"

"I've been sitting next to you all this time, haven't you noticed?" Du Chengcheng looked at them with a slanted face, biting the straw and slowly inhaling the juice.

Ye Taotao also looked at Du Chengcheng, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Senior Chengcheng, do you really hope that is true?"

"Hey, of course." Du Chengcheng nodded with emotion, "I didn't expect it to be fake, this kind of depression is like when you know that you won the first prize but the lottery company got the wrong person. "

Ye Taotao still didn't change her face: "Senior Chengcheng, are your essays... finished?"

Du Chengcheng's face froze, and the juice slipped back from the straw: "Ahem...wait, I was just joking, Taotao, don't take it seriously, I'm just curious...well, that's right, it's curiosity! Cough, that ...I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'll take a step first."

She laughed a few times in embarrassment, ignored more than half of the unfinished juice, stood up and ran away in a hurry.

"What's wrong with Senior Sister Chengcheng? Is she here to be funny?" Looking at Du Chengcheng's fleeing figure, Song Linlin's eyes were full of puzzlement.

Why do you feel like she was invited by a monkey?

"Ah, I don't know too well." Ye Taotao replied casually, then looked down at the menu in her hand, as if she was very interested in the desserts on it.

"Wait, what's going on?" Ye Jiaze, who gradually recovered from his embarrassment, had a blank expression on his face, "The cheating you're talking about is..."

He admitted that he had indeed misidentified the person "Ling Yan" before, but through the conversation between Ye Taotao and Song Linlin just now, he realized that things didn't seem to be what he imagined.

Also, isn't my sister in love?Why do they say that Ling Yan was cheated on?
Ye Jiaze felt that he was going to be confused.

"Ah? Don't you know about this?" This time it was Song Linlin's turn to be surprised, "Taotao..."

"Wait! Don't—" Ye Taotao suddenly recovered, but it was too late to stop her.

"... She deceived Ling Yan's feelings and then abandoned him all the time. This is something that the whole A city knows."

Ye Jiaze: "..."

Ye Taotao: "..."

After a few minutes of silence——

"Xiaolin, you..." Ye Taotao looked at Song Linlin, but couldn't say anything.

And Song Linlin looked at the ceiling, the corners of her mouth twitching: "Taotao, I'm sorry. I spoke too fast, I couldn't stop for a while..."

"..." This is Ye Jiaze who has been completely chopped into charcoal.

"You shouldn't be a scumbag." However, at this moment, Du Chengcheng's aria-like exclamation reached the ears of the three of them again, "This shows that Taotao's youth was wonderful, and you should be happy."

Song Linlin was startled by the elusive Du Chengcheng, and after seeing it was her, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Senior Chengcheng, didn't you have something to leave?"

"I suddenly remembered that I didn't take something, so I came back." Du Chengcheng walked to a table next to him and sat down, his tone became inexplicably heavy: "I'm leaving for the United States in two weeks, what do you want? Did you tell me?"

"Isn't there still two weeks? Isn't it too early to mention this?"

"Bon voyage, I wish you and Senior Sister Mo happiness."

The reaction of Song Linlin and Ye Taotao made Du Chengcheng, who had been expecting it, choke out internal injuries from a mouthful of old blood.

"You guys! It's a good thing I've been so kind to you all the time, you really have no conscience..." Ye Taotao and Song Linlin looked elsewhere as if they didn't see Du Chengcheng's resentful eyes.

Du Chengcheng had no choice but to silently swallow the old blood that was about to spit out, picked up the handbag he had left behind, and left with internal injuries.

Thanks to Ye Jiaze, the rumors that had started to die down, not only did not show any signs of abating, but became more and more outrageous.

For example, Ye Taotao fell asleep with Ling Yan and then abandoned Ling Yan, but Senior Ling never changed his mind; for example, the person who split Ling Yan's leg was actually Cheng Rui; another example, Ling Yan and Cheng Rui played tennis for Ye Taotao. , not dying... The rumors in various versions are as exciting as a bloody romance drama, but Ye Taotao is very calm about it.After being hit by a series of bloody incidents one after another, she was already so calm that she couldn't be calmer anymore.

The self-reminder before going to bed is really useful. Even if she woke up in a bad mood the next morning, Ye Taotao did not forget to return the tennis bag.

However, in order to avoid forgetting to return the tennis bag again, after the first period, Ye Taotao brought the tennis bag to the classroom where she found out that the third-year students of the Faculty of Science were in class.

"Excuse me, is Senior Ling Yan here?"

Ignoring the strange eyes cast on her, Ye Taotao asked straight to the point.

The students in the classroom were silent for a while, and finally a kind senior told her Ling Yan's whereabouts: "Are you looking for Ling Yan? He is not in our class. He should be in the art room at this time."

"Okay, thank you senior." Ye Taotao nodded politely at him, turned and left.

The art room of University A is located on the fifth floor of the teaching building. After going up two flights of stairs and turning a corner, you can see the art room at the end of the corridor.

There were still a few steps away from the destination, Ye Taotao subconsciously quickened her pace, but at this moment, someone stopped her.

"Ye Xuemei." Ye Taotao turned her head, and the boy who appeared in front of her was neatly dressed, with neat black hair, delicate eyebrows, handsome features, and full of heroism.

Ye Taotao still has a little impression of him. His name is Lin Zhuoran, a junior student in the Department of Economics, and he vaguely remembers that he seems to be a member of the Student Union.At the beginning of the school year, he and Liu Yiqian came to invite her to join the student union.

But why did he stop her?
"Senior Lin, what's the matter?" Lin Zhuoran looked a little nervous.A few seconds later, he raised the corner of his mouth, as if mustering up his courage, and said, "Sister, I like you."

"Huh?" Ye Taotao didn't expect that the other party stopped her to confess, so she was caught off guard and froze there, "Are...are you joking? Or is it because of the recent rumor?" In her impression, although she and Lin Zhuoran I said a few words at the beginning of school, but I was not familiar with it, it was just a casual acquaintance.This made her think of the recent rumor - because of that misunderstanding, she had received a lot of love letters and confessions in a period of time.

It's a pity that those people didn't even know what she looked like, and they came for "Ling Yan's ex-girlfriend".

"No." Lin Zhuoran said very firmly, "I like you not because of those rumors, and definitely not because you are Ling Yan's 'ex-girlfriend'."

"..." Lin Zhuoran paused, and then continued: "Besides, I don't think those rumors are true."

Compared with rumors, Ye Taotao was even more unable to adapt to the scene in front of her, but she still bit the bullet and asked, "Uh...why?"

"I believe that Ye Xuemei is not such a person." Lin Zhuoran's tone is very sure, "I admit that when this rumor spread, I did become curious about you, but it was only limited to curiosity. Through long-term observation, I discovered you On the other hand, your strength, your excellence...you have touched my heart, and I think I'm gradually falling in love with you..."

The analysis was very correct, and the content of the words was very touching, but... Ye Taotao simply refused: "I'm sorry, I..."

"Sister, maybe you can't accept my feelings for a while, because even I think it's too sudden." Lin Zhuoran interrupted her before she could say no, "Maybe I'm not as good as Ling Yan, but Please believe that our basketball club is no less than the tennis club."

University A has never lacked outstanding students. As a member of the student union, Lin Zhuoran has another identity - the president of the basketball club.

"..." Ye Taotao didn't know what to say for a while. "Senior Lin, I..."

"Maybe you can't accept my confession now, but I believe that one day you will be moved by me!" Lin Zhuoran showed a very firm look in his eyes. "So, let's compete fairly, Ling Yan!"

The last sentence even contained a bit of provocation.

But—wait!
Ling Yan?

Who is he talking to? !

As soon as she turned her head, Ye Taotao saw Ling Yan's figure appearing at the door of the art room with deep eyes.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Ling Yan's figure was unexpectedly... lonely?
"I'll take a step first, Ye Xuemei, what I just said... I hope you can consider it." Lin Zhuoran smiled at her, then turned and left.

For some reason, Ye Taotao suddenly felt a faint panic in her heart.

"Senior Ling, in fact he..." Ye Taotao stepped forward in embarrassment, and explained somewhat at a loss, "Sorry, I think he also believed those rumors by mistake, please don't mind."

She paused, then said guiltily: "As for that rumor, I will definitely clarify it as soon as possible. I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble..."

"No, it doesn't really matter." Ling Yan's voice was still gentle as usual.

"Huh?" Ye Taotao raised her head and looked at him with some confusion.

He looked at her fixedly, the brilliance flowing in his deep black eyes.

"Sister, have you ever thought about... turning that rumor into reality?"
