"Ahhh!"
Xiao Bai hurriedly covered Li Zi's mouth. "Don't scream so loudly. People will get the wrong idea."
She anxiously stomped her feet several times, then hurried into the dormitory building.
"Was that Senior Student Bai? What happened to her? Is she sick? Her face was so red."
"I think I heard something about 'living together.' Who's going to live with whom?"
"Damn it, that awful stench of love! Who is it? Step forward, and I'll slaughter him!"
Watching Xiao Bai run into the dormitory building, Luo Yan felt somewhat worried.
Li Zi gave him a mischievous elbow. "I never would've guessed, Luo Yan."
"You look like such an honest person. I didn't expect you to be soft on the outside but firm within, and pretty good at seizing opportunities, too."
"Unlike Lin Cheng, who's truly a 'straight man inside and out.'"
Luo Yan humbly asked the girl, "Did I say something wrong just now?"
Instead of answering, Li Zi asked, "What were you thinking deep down?"
She lightly tapped Luo Yan's chest with her finger. "Think about it. Do you really want to be with Xiao Bai?"
"If you do, then you didn't say anything wrong."
"If you really want to be with Xiao Bai, then you have to persist—and be a little bolder."
"Girls are more reserved, after all. Do you expect Xiao Bai to tell you herself that she's willing?"
"So you have to take the initiative!"
Luo Yan's eyes flickered. "I understand. It's just like fighting: you have to take the initiative to seize the advantage!"
The muscles on Li Zi's face twitched slightly. "I take back what I just said."
"All right. Although that analogy was a little abstract, it's more or less the same."
Luo Yan suddenly bowed deeply to Li Zi. "Thank you!"
