Chapter 3 — After Accidentally Befriending Crush, He Immediately Collapses?

8 The contest ended successfully. I took a photo of the third prize diploma and posted it to my friends circle. Received a lot of likes and compliments. Amid a series of congratulations, roommate Ky Dien's account left a question mark and then deleted it. Seconds later, a strange account sent a friend request. YIT: 【I'm Ky Dien.】 Oh? Has the phone been repaired yet? After accepting, the words "The other person is entering..." appears forever at the top of the chat frame. Waited a long time and still didn't see the message. Probably afraid to speak first. So let me open my mouth. Gian: 【Thanks to your help, I won the prize. In the next few days, I will ask in the department to see if there is anyone who is the person you are looking for.】 Three minutes later, Ky Dien answered. 【No need anymore, I found it.】 【Is that so? That's it, I don't know how to thank you, or should I invite you to a meal?】 Another three minutes later. 【Can we meet this afternoon?】 This message has just been sent and has been revoked. 【Can we go to the noodle shop near the school gate?】 【Okay, then I'll wait for you there this afternoon.】 【Yes.】 9 I put down the phone, planning to change clothes. The three female roommates immediately gathered around. “I've already made a reservation at this restaurant, let's go celebrate your winning the award, shall we?” “Duong Duong, what reward do you want? I'll go ask my brother for pocket money and buy it for you.” "Do you like this bag? I'll buy it for you." The three fell into an argument about choosing a gift. I sighed helplessly: "It's just the third prize, do we need to show off like that?" "I'm going out to eat this afternoon, not with you guys." The three people were stunned, then immediately asked questions. “Eat? How can eating alone be as fun as eating with four people? “That's not right, maybe you made a new friend behind our backs?” "When you took the exam, Tran Gia Vu even asked us about you. Are you two back?!" "Duong Duong, we support your love, but we can't be the third person!" The topic becomes more and more different. I quickly interrupted: "I invited Ky Dien to eat to thank him for modeling for me for a few days. "Besides, there's nothing left between me and Tran Gia Vu, so don't mention him in the future." I quickly left the dormitory filled with gossipy atmosphere. When we arrived at the noodle shop, Ky Dien had already arrived. I sat across from him: "Sorry, I have something to do so I'm late." Ky Dien shook her head, pursed her lips and looked at me. I looked at the menu on the wall. "What do you eat? Seafood noodles? Beef noodles?" Ky Dien shook his head again. “Restaurant owner, two bowls of beef noodles.” “Okay now.” While waiting for the noodles, Ky Dien kept staring at me without saying a word. His eyes were too straightforward, filled with confusion, self-pity, gloom... I was looked at to the point of confusion. I couldn't help but say: "Uh, what's wrong with you?" Ky Dien avoided eye contact and drank a glass of water. From my perspective, I could just see tears sparkling in the corner of his eyes. What is this? I'm just a few minutes late, right? The corner of my mouth twitched, sincerely apologizing: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Ky Dien snorted, her voice choked. “Why…” I recounted the part where I was held back by my roommate. Ky Dien seems even more sad. 10 I thought for a long time, still couldn't figure out what I did to hurt him. Could it be that for a few days as a model, I forced him to hold the same position for two hours straight, making him uncomfortable? But the next day he still came as usual? Or is it because I won the prize and posted it to my friends circle first without informing him? But what does that have to do with him? where? Could it be... Not because of me? I opened my backpack, took out two movie tickets, and gave them to Ky Dien. "This is the prize I won, please go watch it with that girl." Ky Dien's outstretched hand pulled back. I thought he was shy, so I shoved the ticket straight into his hand. “I'm not free that day, it would be a waste if I didn't go.” Hearing that, Ky Dien put the ticket back on the table and pushed it towards me. “She was busy that day and couldn't go.” Did I say what day it was? Are your eyes so good that you can see the date on the ticket in just two seconds? You didn't argue with her and said that on purpose, did you? What should I do now... I fell into deep thought again, when the club chat group announced that I had a message. President of the art association: 【Guys, next Tuesday we will go out with another club, anyone interested can come along.】 This is fine. Simple: 【Can I bring my friends?】 After receiving approval, I put my phone and movie tickets away. “Will you take her out with me next week?” Ky Dien was stunned, her face turned red for some reason, and she nodded vigorously. "Okay." 11 Day out. I saw the Music Club where Tran Gia Vu and Lam Phi were working and asked the president in a low voice: "Why are you with the Music Club?" The Chairman knew about me and Tran Gia Vu and smiled wryly: "At that time I was late, only the Music Club had not yet been paired." The Chairman looked at Ky Dien next to me and lowered his voice. “Why is he with us?” I looked at Ky Dien. He wore a white cotton shirt, a dark blue hoodie underneath, and a hood that covered his head, with a large brim that obscured his eyes. Although the expression was not clearly visible, the lips were pouting, clearly showing an unhappy face. What else? Going out is not fun. Before I could explain, people from the Music Club discovered Ky Dien. “Ky Dien, didn't you say you wouldn't participate?” As soon as the words ended, all eyes turned to him. I stood close so I could clearly feel the tension from him. Guess I can't stand so many stares. "I invited him. I didn't know he was going with your club so I invited him. We got in the car first." I used my thumb and index finger to pull Ky Dien's sleeve and drag him onto the bus. Sitting down, Ky Dien remained silent. I was the one to break the silence first. “Why doesn't that girl come along?” The head under the hat moved slightly, and Ky Dien's voice rang out. “She forgot…” “Is that so.” Okay, end of topic.
