"Me, the Anime Club's Wang Dachui."
"Me, from the Fitness Club, Li Haoyang."
"Me, from the Hanfu Club, Luo Ye."
In the 515 dorm room, the three of them solemnly announced the results of their day's activities, then turned to look at Shen Qiao, who was sitting on the bed.
Shen Qiao rolled his eyes and said, "Me? Unemployed, Shen Qiao."
After the topic ended, Wang Dachui excitedly shouted, "Let's play games! Let's play!"
"Alright!"
"Log in, log in!"
On the third day of the club recruitment event, the Hanfu Club stopped accepting new members.
New students who joined a club would usually attend a gathering where everyone gets to know each other. But with so many members in the Hanfu Club, the gatherings were bound to be crowded.
It was expected that Liu Jianglai would soon become the new president of the Hanfu Club—it was just a matter of time.
On Friday evening, Luo Ye stood at the school's main gate, waiting for a taxi.
The Hanfu Club's first gathering was on Saturday, where members would meet and get to know each other.
Since it was a Hanfu event, it would be better to wear Hanfu, so today he was going to buy a set.
Moreover, over 320 new students had joined the Hanfu Club's group, which seemed a bit too many. But most of them weren't there because they liked Hanfu—they were just drawn to the club because of Su Baizhou.
Luo Ye was no different.
However, the difference was, he had started to like Hanfu because Su Baizhou liked it.
But the first gathering was also a sort of "unwritten rule": if someone didn't attend, they'd likely be kicked out later, so only about forty people were confirmed to attend.
"Luo Ye!"
Suddenly, a voice called out from behind.
Luo Ye turned around and saw Liu Bixin and Tang Enqi.
It was Liu Bixin who called his name. Luo Ye greeted her and asked, "Liu, aren't you going with the coach today?"
"At this time, he's at the gym," Liu Bixin replied with a smile.
She glanced at Tang Enqi, then joked with Luo Ye, "What's going on with you? You used to like my Enqi, but now that you're in university, have you changed your mind?"
Luo Ye looked at Tang Enqi. She hadn't changed, still the same as before, but Luo Ye no longer felt the same.
Luo Ye smiled and said, "I was young and naive back then, now I just want to be a good person."
"Ah?"
Liu Bixin and Tang Enqi exchanged puzzled looks.
However, soon, Tang Enqi laughed lightly and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter. Luo Ye and I were never together. Whether he likes me or not is his choice."
After saying that, Luo Ye remained indifferent, and Tang Enqi froze for a moment.
For some reason, she suddenly felt something strange in her heart.
She had promised Luo Ye that if she got into Jiangcheng University, she would be with him.
But she didn't fulfill that promise.
University was so exciting, filled with so many excellent boys, and when she first arrived, she felt like she was about to see a broader world.
Amidst the dazzling array of choices, it was easy to forget what she already had.
Now, looking back, she realized the boy who once saw only her was no longer around.
Before long, Luo Ye's taxi arrived.
He opened the car door and said, "Bye, you two."
Liu Bixin waved, and after the taxi left, she looked at Tang Enqi and sighed, "Qi Qi, I think Luo Ye's not bad. Why didn't you agree to be with him back then?"
Hearing this, Tang Enqi smiled helplessly and said,
"I always thought I would meet someone even better, but now that I'm here, I've realized that if I keep waiting for someone better, I'll never find them. In this life, if someone truly likes you, it's already hard enough."
Liu Bixin was surprised, "Qi Qi, you suddenly seem so enlightened."
"I recently read a romance novel by Luo Ye Gui Gen. I put myself in the shoes of the protagonist, and it helped me understand a lot of things."
As she said this, Tang Enqi gazed at the taxi that had already disappeared and smiled faintly. She muttered to herself, "I wonder what the outcome would be if I pursued him?"
"Ah? Qi Qi, you're going to chase after him?"
"Not sure..." Tang Enqi hesitated.
The road of love is a journey of growth for everyone. Missed opportunities bring regret, not mistakes.
Liu Bixin smiled and said, "If you like him, go for it, just like me and Haoyang. If it doesn't work out, we can break up later."
"Ah, Bing Bing, I don't quite agree with you."
"I was just kidding."
The two girls laughed and chatted together.
Meanwhile, Luo Ye arrived at a Hanfu store and began selecting his Hanfu.
There weren't many Hanfu options for men in the store, and most of the clothing was for women.
Luo Ye tried on several outfits and took photos of each one, then sent them to the "Fairy Senior" (Su Baizhou).
Luo Ye: "Senior, which one do you think looks better?"
In her apartment, Su Baizhou received the message. She seriously looked at each photo, then said, "Not bad, the light blue one looks better."
Luo Ye: "You have good taste [animated expression]."
Luo Ye: "That's the one!"
The classic red and blue combination!
Luo Ye happily bought the Hanfu and returned to his dorm.
The Hanfu cost 1299, a considerable amount for a student.
For Luo Ye, it didn't matter, as he could deduct it from his freelance earnings.
Su Baizhou looked at the photos Luo Ye had sent and thought about the upcoming gathering.
Originally, she hadn't planned on attending, but now...
Su Baizhou took out her phone and sent a message to Liu Jianglai.
"I'll attend the gathering tomorrow as well. Don't forget to add one more spot for me."
After sending the message, Su Baizhou went into the bathroom, undressed, and stood in front of the mirror.
Her skin was smooth and flawless, her figure perfect, her collarbones were like pieces of art, drawing all attention. Below her collarbones was an even more stunning sight…
She touched her face, remembering her actions recently, and murmured, "Have I lost my mind…?"
After finishing her shower, Su Baizhou put on her pajamas, lay down on the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Having lived here for almost a month, the room now smelled faintly of her unique fragrance, though she couldn't smell it herself.
Soon, her phone pinged with a message from Luo Ye.
Luo Ye: "Senior, you must be busy today, right? Get some rest tonight. Good night!"
Recently, Luo Ye had been sending her good morning and good night messages every day, and their relationship had improved somewhat.
They had reached the point where they would greet each other when they met by chance on campus.
Bit by bit, their relationship was growing, like progressing through levels in a game, building more memories for the future.
Looking at the message on her phone, Su Baizhou replied: "Good night."
Of course, she had online work to do, which was her side job where she took orders online.
She hadn't gone to bed before midnight for a long time, and tonight, she worked until 4 a.m. to finish her tasks.
She earned a commission of 150 yuan.
Suddenly, she heard a knock at the door.
Su Baizhou was puzzled, her mind became tense.
It was 4 a.m.—who would be knocking at this hour?
And no one knew where she lived…
But the next moment, her doubt was broken.
"Hello, Little Yellow Man takeout!"
Su Baizhou walked to the living room, went to the door, and peeked through the peephole. Sure enough, it was a delivery.
She opened the door and said, "I didn't order any takeout."
"Recipient is Mr. Luo."
Mr. Luo? Luo Ye?
Su Baizhou remained cautious, but she hadn't opened the door.
She planned to ask Luo Ye, but he had already sent her a message.
Luo Ye: "Senior, I see your dark circles are heavy, you must be staying up late often. I've brought you some comforting chicken soup, remember, your health is most important!"
Luo Ye: "If you're already asleep, you can warm it up in the morning for breakfast."
Su Baizhou froze for a moment when she saw this.
She opened the door and took the chicken soup from the delivery man, her expression a bit dazed.
