"I'm Wang Dachui from the Anime Club."

"I'm Li Haoyang from the Fitness Enthusiast Association."

"I'm Luo Ye from the Hanfu Club."

In Dorm 515, the three of them solemnly announced their day's achievements, then all looked at Shen Qiao, who was sitting on his bed.

Shen Qiao said speechlessly, "I'm Shen Qiao, an unemployed bum."

After this topic ended, Wang Dachui excitedly said, "Let's team up, let's team up!"

"Coming!"

"Let's log in, log in."

Click!

On the third day of the club's freshman orientation, the Hanfu Association was no longer holding orientations.

When new students join a club, they have a gathering. Because there were so many people in the Hanfu Club, the gathering was guaranteed to be lively.

Barring any surprises, Liu Jianglai would become the new president of the Hanfu Club; it was only a matter of time.

On Friday evening, Luo Ye stood at the school gate, waiting for a taxi.

Saturday was the Hanfu Club's freshman gathering, where members would get to know each other.

Since it was a Hanfu Club gathering, it would naturally be better to wear Hanfu, so he was going to buy a set today.

Moreover, the Hanfu Club's group chat had over 320 new members join, which was indeed quite a lot.

But most of these people weren't here because they liked Hanfu, but simply because Su Baizhou was in this club.

Luo Ye was the same.

But he was different in that he would come to like Hanfu because Su Baizhou liked it.

However, there was an unwritten rule for the first gathering: those who didn't attend would basically be removed later. In the end, only a little over forty people signed up for the gathering.

"Classmate Luo Ye."

Suddenly, a girl's voice came from behind him.

Luo Ye turned around and saw Liu Bingxin and Tang Enqi.

It was Liu Bingxin who called him. Luo Ye greeted her and asked, "Classmate Liu, aren't you going out with the Coach today?"

"At this time, he's gone to work out," Liu Bingxin said with a smile.

Then, she glanced at Tang Enqi and said to Luo Ye in a joking tone, "You too. Don't you like my Enqi? What, you've changed your mind since coming to university?"

Hearing this, Luo Ye looked at Tang Enqi.

She hadn't changed; she was still the same as before, but Luo Ye no longer felt the same way.

Luo Ye smiled and said, "I was young and ignorant in the past. Now, I just want to be a good person."

"Huh?"

Liu Bingxin and Tang Enqi exchanged glances, both showing confused expressions.

But soon, Tang Enqi chuckled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter. Luo Ye and I were never together, so whether Luo Ye still likes me or not is his freedom."

After she finished speaking, Luo Ye still had no reaction. Tang Enqi's expression faltered slightly.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little strange in her heart.

She had promised Luo Ye that as long as she got into Jiangcheng University, she would be with him.

But she hadn't kept her word.

University was too exciting, with too many outstanding boys. When she first arrived, Tang Enqi felt that she could see a broader world.

"Dazzling flowers make the eyes blur." In the face of the unknown, it seemed that what one already possessed could easily be overlooked.

Looking back, without realizing it, the boy who had eyes only for her was gone.

Not long after, Luo Ye's taxi arrived.

He opened the car door and said, "Bye-bye, ladies."

Liu Bingxin waved her hand. After the taxi left, she looked at Tang Enqi and sighed, "Qiqi, I think Luo Ye is quite good. Why didn't you agree to him before?"

Hearing this, Tang Enqi smiled helplessly and said:

"I always felt that I could meet someone better, but after coming here, I realized that if I wait for someone better to appear, I'll never find them. In this life, it's already very difficult to meet someone who genuinely likes you."

Liu Bingxin was surprised, "Qiqi, why are you suddenly enlightened?"

"I recently read a romance novel written by Falling Leaves Return to Roots. I identified with the protagonist of that novel and understood many things."

Speaking of which, Tang Enqi looked at the disappearing taxi and murmured with a slight smile, "I wonder what the result would be if I pursued him?"

"Huh? Qiqi, you're the campus belle for freshmen! You're going to chase him?"

"I don't know..." Tang Enqi hesitated.

The road of love is one where everyone grows. Missed opportunities are regrets, not mistakes.

Hearing this, Liu Bingxin smiled and said, "If you like them, go for it. Like me and Haoyang, at worst we'll break up later."

"Ah, Bingbing, I can't agree with that."

"Just kidding!"

The two girls started chatting and laughing.

Meanwhile, Luo Ye arrived at a Hanfu shop and began browsing for outfits.

There weren't many Hanfu options for men, with about eighty percent of the items in physical stores being for women.

Luo Ye tried on several sets, took photos of each, and sent them to Fairy Senior Sister.

Luo Ye: Senior Sister, which one do you think looks good?

In the faculty apartments, Su Baizhou received the message. She carefully examined each photo before replying, "Not bad, the light blue one looks better."

Luo Ye: You have good taste [emoji]

Luo Ye: I'll take it.

Red and blue have always been a classic pairing.

Luo Ye happily bought the Hanfu and returned to his dorm.

This Hanfu cost 1299.

For a student, this was a considerable sum.

For Luo Ye, it didn't matter; it would be deducted from his royalties.

Su Baizhou looked at the photos Luo Ye had sent and thought about the club gathering tomorrow.

She hadn't planned to attend, but now...

Su Baizhou took out her phone and sent a message to Liu Jianglai.

"I'll be at the gathering tomorrow too. Remember to account for one extra person."

After sending the message, Su Baizhou went into the bathroom, undressed, and stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself.

Her skin was as smooth as cream, her figure perfect, her delicate collarbone line like a work of art that captivated the eye, and below her collarbone, even more stunning sights...

She touched her face, recalling her recent behavior, and couldn't help but murmur, "Have I lost my mind...?"

After showering, Su Baizhou changed into her pajamas and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Having lived here for nearly a month, the room was now filled with Su Baizhou's unique scent, though she herself couldn't smell it.

Soon, the notification sound for Luo Ye's message came from her phone.

Luo Ye: Senior Sister must have had a busy day again. Get some rest early tonight. Goodnight!

During this time, Luo Ye had been exchanging goodnight and good morning messages with Su Baizhou every day, and their relationship had improved slightly compared to before.

They had reached the point where they could greet each other if they bumped into each other on campus.

Their relationship was improving little by little, like clearing levels in a game, cultivating their feelings for each other and creating more future memories.

Looking at the message on her phone, Su Baizhou replied: Goodnight.

Of course, she had online work in the evening, a part-time job where she could take on orders.

It had been a long time since she had slept before midnight, usually sleeping at one in the morning at the earliest, or staying up all night at the latest.

And today, she had worked until four in the morning to finish her tasks.

She had earned a commission of 150 yuan.

Suddenly.

Knock, knock, knock~

There was a knocking sound from outside the door, and Su Baizhou became confused and a little tense.

Who would be knocking at four in the morning?

Besides, no one knew she lived here...

But her confusion was dispelled the next moment.

"Hello, Minions Delivery!"

Hearing this, Su Baizhou went to the living room and walked to the door. She looked through the peephole and saw that it was indeed a delivery, saying faintly, "I didn't order any delivery."

"The recipient is Mr. Luo."

Mr. Luo? Luo Ye?

Su Baizhou remained cautious and didn't open the door. She wanted to ask Luo Ye.

But Luo Ye had already sent her a message in advance.

Luo Ye: Senior Sister, I see you have heavy dark circles under your eyes. You must stay up late often. I specially brought you some heartwarming Chicken Soup. Your health is most important.

Luo Ye: If you're already asleep, you can heat it up when you wake up and eat it for breakfast.

Seeing this, Su Baizhou was slightly stunned.

She opened the door and looked at the Chicken Soup handed to her by the delivery person, her expression lost in thought.
