Roommate Miss, Lost in the Sea of People
These past few days have been special for the girl who just turned 15 this year.
She just entered high school yesterday and will officially begin her classes and a brand new life tomorrow.
The girl's home is in Changkong City, so it's only natural that she should enroll in a school in Changkong City.
But in reality, she went to a prestigious girls' school located in Canghai City.
The girl's family was only of average means, so after learning that the tuition had already been paid, she could only come to the distant Canghai City with a long face and obediently enroll in school.
Fortunately, her luck wasn't too bad. This wasn't the purely aristocratic academy full of young ladies that she had imagined. Even though the surrounding buildings and facilities exuded a silent weight of time and simple luxury, the girls her age weren't all like cold, impersonal White Tower. Instead, they all had their own vitality, which made her feel at ease.
Then, on the first day, I met a seemingly aloof but actually just a bit introverted girl as my roommate, which made it even more of a cause for celebration.
Anyone who has experienced school dormitory life knows how much energy a good roommate can save.
So today she originally wanted to invite that girl to come shopping at the mall together, partly to get closer to her.
The other reason is that classes will officially start tomorrow, and if we want to leave school after that, we'll have to wait until the weekend. So, taking this opportunity to see the local customs and culture of Canghai City is the right thing to do.
As it turns out, Hua disappeared without a trace, and when he sent messages, he only said he had something to do.
It's no fun for me to wander around such a big shopping mall all by myself.
Although these facilities are all very new, there are very few places in Changkong City with such luxury, and the shopping malls here even have special smart services.
Once the relevant agreement is signed, all body data can be scanned directly using the device for electronic calculation, thereby analyzing dozens of clothing combinations available in the mall that best suit you within three seconds.
It can even predict customer preferences and recommend products based on the completion of some forms and quizzes. Rumor has it that the accuracy rate of this service is as high as 97%. Purely from the perspective of efficiency and energy conservation, these features are indeed very convenient.
However, this kind of service can actually diminish the enjoyment of shopping.
It's important to understand that for girls, shopping isn't about completing a rigorous purchasing task. What they buy isn't the most important thing; what matters is enjoying the interesting things they see while shopping, the natural joy of touching and trying on dresses they like, and the delightful surprise that comes to mind when they encounter something they truly love.
The pleasure that requires a bit of luck and romance to create can be completely wiped out by that machine.
To her Roommate Miss, this would be a complete nightmare, so she naturally didn't choose to experience the service. Instead, she wandered aimlessly by herself, idly looking at the chat history of Fu Hua's responses on her phone, feeling that there was more to it than met the eye.
Oh, Hua probably went on a date.
When thinking is on the right track, the rapidly flowing fragments of information instantly come together in one place.
Then, a look of sudden realization appeared on my Roommate Miss's face.
Hua, you still say you don't have a boyfriend!
You still say you're not a "social butterfly"?!
You've only just arrived in Canghai City; who would come to accompany you when you go out?
Given her inexplicable blushing and smile yesterday, the most likely explanation is that she's seeing someone else.
The moment her Roommate Miss discovered the truth, she turned around in a flash of inspiration and saw a familiar figure strolling around the corner of the shopping mall downstairs.
A cool-looking young man in a black trench coat stood on the far left, holding the hand of the little girl in the middle. Fu Hua stood on the right, holding the little girl's other hand. The three of them, who looked like a family of three, were shopping with a clear purpose. Two seconds later, the three of them disappeared from her sight and walked into an unknown store.
In that fleeting glimpse, the Roommate Miss did not immediately feel the joy of confirming the truth.
She recalled the boy's unfamiliar profile, as if a beam of light was slowly swaying in her soul, evoking countless emotions. Then, after blooming with sorrow and joy, it swept everything away, leaving no room for anything else.
Sadness, grief, despair, joy.
All of this passed by in a blur, vanishing without a trace, like a dream that disappeared before you even Awakened.
So in the blink of an eye, the girl naturally attributed it all to a mental daze caused by surprise, like a dragonfly skimming across the surface of a lake and leaving, at most leaving only a few faint ripples.
Now the ripples have subsided, and the lake is as if no one had ever been there.
Her face continued to wear a carefree smile, while her turquoise eyes narrowed slightly as if she were starting to plot something wicked.
My Roommate Miss quietly followed the three of them, humming a piano piece. She felt that her originally dull and desolate life had suddenly been infused with new vitality and color.
Things seem to be getting interesting.
Ten minutes ago.
When Su Qing'an took Seele home, he didn't pay any attention to her size because her eyes and actions were always very proper.
This left the boy completely bewildered when he saw them walk out of the children's underwear store empty-handed.
However, seeing Fu Hua's flushed face and Seele's seemingly cheerful mood, Su Qing'an roughly guessed the truth of the matter.
Given Hua's personality and thin skin... she really isn't suited to compete with Seele on the same stage.
When we first brought the little guy home, he was still very gentle.
Well, it's a good thing, I guess.
Seeing Fu Hua's shy appearance was actually a very pleasant thing for Su Qing'an.
If you experienced the time of the Immortal Fu Hua, you will understand the reason for this joy.
It wasn't simply because the contrast was stark that he found it funny and interesting; rather, it was because he could see her everyday life before she encountered those hardships, and the boy genuinely felt a fleeting yet undeniably real joy and happiness.
This is why his phone's photo album is full of photos of the other person. Six months later, Su Qing'an might better understand the precious value of these images.
In short, the boy had no intention of disciplining Seele.
In his view, this might be a process of two girls who were not originally familiar with each other interacting and communicating.
What appears to be Hua being bullied by Seele now will later become a precious memory.
