Looking Back

The first cafeteria wasn't large, only about a third the size of the third cafeteria. Besides being cheap, it had no other merits; the food was incredibly bad.

Moreover, about eighty percent of the people who ate at the first cafeteria were guys. Only a scattered few girls sat in the corners, chatting while they ate.

There were quite a few people eating breakfast, with almost every table occupied.

Luo Ye bought two meat buns, a cup of soy milk, an egg, and a corn pancake, then casually found a seat.

Although another guy was eating at the table, it didn't matter. Besides, it was a table for six, and the two of them sat diagonally across from each other, far apart.

Suddenly.

In the cafeteria, more than half of the guys suddenly looked towards the entrance.

A tall, mature older sister type in black clothing walked in. Her appearance was incredibly alluring, making the previously unappetizing food suddenly seem like a delicacy beyond compare.

One guy immediately stuffed two buns into his mouth.

Isn't that Su Baizhou, the campus belle of Jiang University? Why is she here at the first cafeteria?

Luo Ye hadn't noticed the unusual behavior of those around him. He took a sip of his soy milk, finding the taste a bit too salty.

Why would soy milk in the south be salty? He wanted sweet! Sweet!

Su Baizhou bought some breakfast and then looked back, realizing that every table was occupied.

Although there were still some empty seats, it meant she would have to sit with guys.

Soon, she found Luo Ye's table and, with her long legs, walked straight over.

Wherever Su Baizhou passed, the air seemed to become sweet.

She wasn't wearing makeup at the moment, but even so, her aloof and peerless beauty captivated everyone, leaving them entranced.

Luo Ye was startled because he noticed someone sitting in front of him.

He looked up in confusion and saw it was the Fairy Senior Sister.

What a blissful scene this is?

Luo Ye's expression was still stuck on his dislike for the salty soy milk. Upon seeing Su Baizhou, his face contorted as if spasming, his expression flickering between surprise and disgust.

In the end, surprise won out.

Everyone in the cafeteria wore expressions of shock.

Damn it!

Why?!

We're all men, all campus heartthrobs, we all occupied tables, and there were empty seats next to us. Why do you get so lucky, kid?

Soon, a guy awkwardly sat down next to Su Baizhou.

Seeing this, Su Baizhou frowned and said nothing.

Luo Ye didn't know what to say either.

The atmosphere around them became somewhat awkward. The Iceberg Goddess's aura emanated from Su Baizhou at this moment, making the guy next to her feel an uncomfortable pressure.

Even Luo Ye lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Baizhou at that moment.

Soon, the guy finished eating quickly and left.

He had initially approached with the hope of getting lucky and sitting next to the campus belle, but he hadn't expected that not just anyone could sit beside the iceberg beauty.

Luo Ye finally understood why the Fairy Senior Sister had the nickname "Iceberg."

After the guy left, Luo Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure suddenly vanished.

It was just a shame he had already finished eating.

He wiped his mouth and cautiously said, "Senior Sister... I'll be going now."

"No."

Su Baizhou said coldly, "Wait until I'm done."

If Luo Ye left now, wouldn't she have to eat alone at the first cafeteria?

The food here was so terrible, how could she possibly eat it...

Luo Ye chuckled awkwardly and sat in his original spot, waiting for his senior sister to finish.

A few minutes later, Su Baizhou wiped her mouth, glanced at Luo Ye, and left without saying a word.

This was the Fairy Senior Sister's true personality.

Luo Ye watched her retreating back, his gaze unwavering.

He seemed to have watched people's backs like this many times.

During his three years of secret high school crush, he had watched his crush from afar, chasing her figure with his eyes but never daring to approach, only able to watch silently.

Even with the Fairy Senior Sister, it was the same. The first time they met, he watched her back as she left.

At the first dorm gathering, he coincidentally met her and watched her back.

He watched her retreating figure all the way to the faculty apartment parking lot on their first date, and he continued to watch her even now.

He... could only watch her silently like this, guard her, unable to do anything. He didn't know what was missing, always feeling like something was wrong, and a feeling he couldn't quite describe welled up inside him.

Until...

The moment Su Baizhou was about to leave the cafeteria, she suddenly stopped.

She turned her head slightly, looking in Luo Ye's direction.

Seeing his dazed expression, the corner of her lips curved slightly, as if she had smiled, and then she left.

This smile made all the male students in the cafeteria ecstatic.

"The Iceberg Goddess smiled at me!!"

"She smiled at me!"

"Bullshit, go take a look in the mirror."

"What did you say? I'm Jiangcheng's Peng Yuyan."

"I'm Jiangcheng's Daniel Wu then."

"All of you shut up, Jiangcheng's Most Devoted Lover has something to say."

The people around them started arguing, but only Luo Ye could feel that the Fairy Senior Sister's smile was directed at him.

He finally knew what feeling he had been missing all this time.

It was looking back.

It was on the path where he chased her retreating figure, that she could turn around and see that there had always been someone behind her.
