"Maybe there will be one"- Tao Zhang contemplated.
"Who knows when it will happen?I wonder what kind of girl she will be."- Li Yulan said.
"Why only girls though?"- Tao Zhang asked playfully and winked.
"Hey Tao Zhang! what are you trying to imply?" - Yulan widened her eyes.
"Nothing! I am just saying that why are we assuming only girls would be his partner?-" said Tao Zhang.
"Are you saying that senior Huang's partner is going to be a boy?- Yulan said, confused.
"That's right!" -Tao Zhang nodded.
"Tsk tsk tsk you and your fujoshi thoughts!- Yulan sighed, shaking her head.
"Hey hey hey! Where did I say anything wrong though?" -Tao Zhang protested.
"Shh, you are too loud! Do you want senior to hear our gossip about him?"- Yulan said.
Tao Zhang subtly peaked at senior and said in a low voice- "What I am saying is that I did not say anything wrong."
"Oh really?"- Yulan
"Yes! See, have you ever seen senior with any girl?" - Tao asked Yulan.
"No, but that does not mean he is into guys or his partner is going to be a boy!" - replied Yulan.
"That is true. But do you know there has been a rumour circulating about senior Huang." -Tao Zhang was being a little mysterious.
"What rumour?" Yulan was getting curious about it.
"It is said that the senior was with a guy and he said to be his roommate. They were seen together all the time. But then something happened and the other person dropped out of the school in the second year. After that senior Huang was never seen with anyone. He seemed to be alone all the time." - Tao Zhang explained to Yulan.
"Wow Tao Zhang! How do you know about all these?" Yulan asked.
"Well you see I am an information collector so naturally I will have all this knowledge." - Tao Zhang was feeling smug.
"But you are supposed to collect news around the campus, not prying into people's private life"- Yuan teased him.
"Huh you will not understand this. Knowing all this information is also a part of my job. What if they come handy in the future?" - Tao Zhang said with disdain written on his face.
"Okay okay I understand The Great Information Collector Mr. Tao Zhang"- Yulan kept on teasing Tao Zhang.
"But all of them, are they true?"- Yulan asked. She was sceptical.
"Of course! The source of my data is one hundred percent reliable."- Nodding his head Tao Zhang replied.
"Well maybe but whoever senior ends up with, be it a guy or girl it doesn't matter." - Yulan said and looked towards Tao Zhang where she saw him grinning.
"Hey why do you seem very happy? By any chance are you thinking about pursuing senior brother?"- Yulan asked.
"Hey! What nonsense are you talking about?" - Tao Zhang protested heavily
"Otherwise? Why are you so into this?" - Yulan kept on pressing.
"Just because I am a fujoshi doesn't mean I am into guys. Don't twist my intention, I am just a purr hearted person who loves to read."- Tao Zhang said.
"Oh sure sure, I believe you."- Yulan said while grinning.
"Stop thinking about others, say about yourself. Did you get any invitation?"- He asked.
"I did!" - Yulan nodded.
"Woah then are you going to accept them?"- Tao Zhang.
"Of course not! Don't you remember we have the competition on that same day? We are literally in charge of it." - Yulan exclaimed.
"Ah that's right, well it can't be helped." - Tao Zhang lamented.
On the other hand the protagonist of their discussion, Jiang Hunag, was unperturbed about what was going on around him. He was engrossed in his computer, typing swiftly and occasionally clicking the mouse with determination. His eyes fixed on the screen, furrowed in concentration. From his silhouette it can be said he truly was a good looking guy. The soft brown hair which casually fell across his face, a high nose bridge with well defined eyebrows added to his charm. It was understandable why he was so popular amongst ladies.
Tao Zhang & Yulan were still talking, at that time the door opened-
"What are you guys discussing?" said Xiao Zhen while entering the room.
"Oh senior sister Zhen! You are here! Hello" Yulan saw and went on to greet them.
"Hello senior sister Yue, sister Mei and sister Yao."
"Hello Yulan & Hello Tao Zhang." Mingyue greeted them back.
"Where is the senior?" - Meimei asked.
"He is working over there."- Yulan pointed out.
Jiang Huang noticed them and nodded his head towards them & went back to work again.
"Tsk tsk as always workaholic."- Xiao Zhen chuckled.
"By the way you didn't say what you two were discussing earlier." - Ning Mei asked.
Hearing the question both Tao Zhang & Yulan coughed a little.
"Uhmm it's nothing important, we were just discussing the annual event."- Tao Zhang replied.
"Is that so?"- Xiao Zhen teased.
"Yes yes!"- Yulan agreed with Zhang.
"But why do I feel like I have heard something different?" - Xiao Zhen probed again.
"No no sister Zhen there was nothing else! We were definitely just talking about the annual event & also about the hacking competition. Right Zhang?" - Yulan was a little embarrassed. Both of them were thinking that they talked in such a low voice so how could the senior sisters hear it from outside the room? They are just teasing them.
"Yulan is right sister."- Tao Zhang confirmed.
"Okay enough teasing, let's stop idling around and get back to the business."- An Mingyue said.
Everyone gathered around the table.
"I think senior Huang didn't hear Yueyue. He is still working on his laptop."- Ning Mei said, looking in his direction.
"That's right. Senior is so oblivious about things other than his work & laptop. What is he working on?" - Xiao Zhen said.
"Probably working on the firewall. After all, he is our system administrator."- Yulan said.
"Okay then Yaoyao go and call him here. We need to discuss something."- An Mingyue said.
