This Little Thing Is Pretty Interesting

Su Baizhou had already bought the ice cream before Luo Ye had a chance to refuse.

"I didn't know what flavor you liked, so I got original and chocolate. Which one do you want?"

Luo Ye wavered between the two ice creams in Fairy Senior Sister's hands, looking extremely conflicted.

He liked chocolate, but original seemed pretty good too.

Seeing this, Su Baizhou asked, "What's your zodiac sign?"

"Libra."

"No wonder."

"What about you, Senior Sister?"

"Scorpio."

"No wonder."

Although Senior Sister was rather aloof, during their first proper meeting, their conversation somehow flowed without end.

Seeing Luo Ye still hesitating, Su Baizhou directly stuffed the chocolate ice cream into his hand, since she preferred the original flavor.

As they walked, Luo Ye unconsciously slowed down and began following behind Fairy Senior Sister.

He took out his phone and quickly snapped a photo of Su Baizhou's back.

Then, delighted, he quickened his pace and returned to Senior Sister's side.

Su Baizhou glanced at him but said nothing.

She had noticed through the reflection of her black phone screen that Luo Ye had secretly gone behind her to take a picture.

It was only a photo of her back, after all. She did not think much of it.

Even taking a photo of her back, Luo Ye had been so cautious. That meant he had never photographed her face; he merely wanted a picture of her back.

Judging by the way he looked, he even wanted to secretly keep it hidden away, like a little animal that tucked away some treasure it had discovered.

She did not understand what use there was in photographing a back when one could not even see the person's face.

She was wearing a long dress today, and her legs were not even exposed. What was there to photograph about her back?

Yet seeing Luo Ye's secretly delighted expression, Su Baizhou could not help growing curious.

Why could a photo of her back make him so happy?

If he got a picture of her face, or even a photo with her, would he be happy enough to fly?

She recalled the second message he had sent her on Green Bubble, saying that he was her fan.

He really did seem like a qualified little fan.

Suddenly, Luo Ye's phone rang.

Dorm 515 group chat.

Wang Dachui: @Luo Ye, Wild Child, where the hell are you?

Wang Dachui: You're from out of town and unfamiliar with the place. Why are you out alone instead of staying in the dorm over the weekend?

Shen Qiao: Something's going on here~

Li Haoyang: [Image]

Wang Dachui: Holy shit, you bastard. You absolute bastard. You're actually on a date with the Iceheart Beauty.

Listening to the lively commotion in the group chat, Luo Ye shut off his phone.

He should just pretend he had not seen any of that.

After all, his current situation was not easy to explain.

Still, it looked like their dorm's fitness coach had been completely wrapped around Long-legged Loli's finger.

They ate together every few days and spent weekends hanging out. He would be the first not to believe they would not end up together.

But they had known each other for less than a month.

Maybe Luo Ye was just too innocent.

The first time he had met Fairy Senior Sister was on the first day of school, and only now had he finally added her on Green Bubble.

Of course, Su Baizhou had first met him the day before the freshmen arrived, and had even sent him to the police station. He just did not know that.

There was no way the two of them could spend an entire afternoon merely wandering around the park.

After they had practically walked through the entire place, Su Baizhou brought Luo Ye to an afternoon tea shop.

To be honest, Luo Ye had no idea what afternoon tea was for.

There were already three meals a day. Why add another one in the afternoon?

But at that moment, seeing Fairy Senior Sister sitting across from him with a cup of coffee before her, Luo Ye's heart stirred, and he could not help praising her inwardly:

Fairy Senior Sister is so elegant.

"What would you like to drink?"

Su Baizhou put on a pair of black frames, took a copy of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes from her bag, and began reading.

"I... I'm not used to coffee."

Luo Ye spoke weakly.

There was also a plate of small cakes and some nuts on the table.

Luo Ye had been staring at the menu for ages.

But Fairy Sister looked so beautiful in glasses that he simply could not tear his eyes away.

In the end, Luo Ye decided to drink the same thing Fairy Sister was having.

Seeing this, Su Baizhou said flatly, "It's very bitter. I didn't add sugar."

"It doesn't matter."

Luo Ye said confidently, "I like bitter things."

"Are you a Sherlock Holmes fan, Senior Sister?" Luo Ye asked curiously.

"No." Su Baizhou denied it while looking at her book.

Luo Ye discreetly glanced at Su Baizhou's black frames.

They seemed to be just frames, without any lenses inside.

After noticing that, Luo Ye asked again, "Then you must be a fan of The Grim Reaper Elementary Student, Senior Sister?"

"Oh? What makes you think that?" Su Baizhou grew curious.

Seeing Fairy Sister's reaction, Luo Ye knew he had guessed right. He said, "Those are the same glasses as The Grim Reaper Elementary Student's. And you don't like Sherlock Holmes, yet you're reading this book. I guessed that you were reading it because The Grim Reaper Elementary Student likes Sherlock Holmes."

Su Baizhou silently nodded.

That was not wrong.

Luo Ye had been able to guess because he had once been a hardcore fan of The Grim Reaper Elementary Student too.

After all, both his parents were police officers.

He had also read every Sherlock Holmes novel because The Grim Reaper Elementary Student was such a hardcore Sherlock Holmes fan.

"There is only one truth!"

Luo Ye suddenly narrowed his eyes and put on a profound expression.

Su Baizhou froze.

The server bringing over the coffee tried desperately not to laugh.

Luo Ye awkwardly lowered his hand and scratched the back of his head. "I couldn't help it... Hehe, I couldn't help it..."

This guy... is kind of cute.

Su Baizhou smiled inwardly and returned her attention to the book.

Luo Ye took a small sip of the coffee.

Then his brows immediately knitted together.

So bitter...

Su Baizhou said to the server beside them, "Bring two packets of sugar."

Hearing that, Luo Ye hurriedly shook his head. "Senior Sister, there's no need. I can handle it."

Su Baizhou looked at him expressionlessly. "If you can't drink bitter things, then drink something sweet. There's nothing embarrassing about that. Just be yourself."

Hearing this, Luo Ye stared blankly at Su Baizhou.

Fairy Senior Sister had long eyelashes and a beautiful face.

Although she looked aloof, she was actually a gentle person.

After adding two packets of sugar, Luo Ye stirred the coffee a few times and took another sip.

Coffee might be bitter, but after sugar was added, it could be sweet too.

It tasted great.

Luo Ye gulped it all down in no time.

Su Baizhou said nothing and simply continued reading.

The afternoon quietly slipped away.

As dusk approached, Su Baizhou closed her book.

Meanwhile, Luo Ye had already fallen asleep with his head on the table.

This little stutter had clearly been bored to death, yet he had stubbornly refused to say a word. Now he had actually fallen asleep right on the table.

Su Baizhou did not wake him.

A mischievous idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

She took out her phone and snapped a photo of Luo Ye's sleeping face.

Luo Ye's eyes were gently closed, his eyelashes lightly trembling. Immersed in the ocean of dreams, he looked like a carefree youth hidden among flowers.

Looking at Luo Ye in the photo, Su Baizhou murmured, "He's not bad-looking."

Then, she sent the photo to Gu Mingxuan, who was far away overseas.

Soon, he replied with a question mark.

Gu Mingxuan: ?

Then he added: Wait, beloved disciple, why is my little brother asleep in front of you? I told you to take care of him. Don't tell me you're trying to hit on him?

Looking at the message, Su Baizhou fell silent before closing the chat window.

She looked at the innocent Junior Underclassman before her with a thoughtful expression.

Hit on him...

This little thing would probably be very interesting to flirt with, wouldn't he?
