Hanfu Tea Gathering

As he changed, Luo Ye suddenly realized something astonishing.

He... actually didn't know how to put this thing on?

At the shop yesterday, the clerk had helped him change. And he had joined the Hanfu Club only because Fairy Senior Sister was in it; he had barely worn this kind of clothing before.

How embarrassing. He didn't even know how to wear his ancestors' clothes.

Especially this belt... This was a belt, right?

Luo Ye opened his room door and said awkwardly, "Um... Senior Sister?"

Before he could finish, Su Baizhou already knew what he wanted to say.

"You don't know how to wear it?"

"Yeah."

Seeing that, Su Baizhou walked in through the doorway.

Although Luo Ye didn't know how to wear it properly, he had managed most of it, so he wasn't revealing much.

The hanfu was mainly white, covered in blue patterns and designs that made the blue stand out more.

Su Baizhou extended her slender fingers to help Luo Ye dress, occasionally brushing against him.

He didn't dare say a word. His heart pounded rapidly, and even his breathing became hurried.

In truth, Su Baizhou was a little nervous too. She was simply better at hiding it than Luo Ye, so it didn't show at all.

The two remained silent as they helped Luo Ye finish putting on his clothes.

Luo Ye had come fully prepared. He had even brought a wig.

Once he put it on, his entire aura changed, as if he had become a different person.

He looked like a graceful young gentleman, a refined scholar. The youth's complexion was clean, and his eyes seemed to hide countless stars.

Luo Ye took a folding fan from his bag, spun in place, flicked it open, struck a pose, and curled his lips into a faint smile. "Miss Su, after you."

Su Baizhou paused slightly before saying expressionlessly, "After you."

The moment he put on the hanfu, Luo Ye felt that speaking too casually would ruin the image, so his words and mannerisms became more dignified.

Su Baizhou didn't need to do that. She had always been dignified.

But the moment they got into the pink Chopped Chili Fish Head, almost all semblance of dignity was ruined.

Two highly attractive young people dressed in hanfu sat inside the tiny car.

The instant the engine started, Luo Ye cleared his throat and shouted,

"Giddyup!"

Su Baizhou:?

"Hehehe, sorry. I couldn't help it, couldn't help it."

Chopped Chili Fish Head sped along the road and soon arrived at the gathering place.

A Hanfu Club gathering was naturally something out of the ordinary.

It was a tea gathering. The food wasn't greasy or heavy, focusing mainly on lighter dishes.

Like people of ancient times, everyone sat at the tea gathering, either composing poetry over tea or drinking for pleasure.

Of course, the alcohol here was all brewed and very low in alcohol content, so no one would get drunk easily. Those with poor tolerance could drink tea instead.

At the tea gathering, Liu Jianglai sat on a bench. Though he was a man, his every gesture was more elegant than a girl's.

A group of girls surrounded him, though not in a lovestruck way. They clearly treated him as one of their sisters.

"Ahem, Junior Sisters, you're being too enthusiastic. I'll start roll call now."

"Su Baizhou."

The first name was their club president's.

Yet the very first person called was absent.

Liu Jianglai seemed used to it. Su Baizhou was busy and often missed club activities, so he skipped her and continued taking attendance.

Until...

"Luo Ye."

No one responded...

"Luo Ye?"

Still no response.

After roll call, Liu Jianglai realized that among those who had signed up for the gathering, only Su Baizhou and Luo Ye were absent.

Soon, his expression changed.

Confusion, surprise, delight, excitement!

Could it be that Senior Sister Zhouzhou's iron tree had finally blossomed?

At that thought, Liu Jianglai revealed a gratified expression.

As a fellow kindred spirit among the girls, he truly hated that he wasn't a woman.

If he were a woman, and had looks like Su Baizhou's, he would definitely have a harem of three thousand beauties.

When he joined the Hanfu Club and saw Su Baizhou's peerless beauty, Liu Jianglai's first reaction hadn't been desire, but envy.

With a face that could topple cities, it would be such a shame not to be the female lead of a youth campus story at least once.

But Su Baizhou never dated. She usually didn't even get to know boys.

Now, there was finally a hint of progress.

The tea gathering was about to begin. Watching the young men and women in hanfu pair up around the venue and get acquainted, Liu Jianglai wore a satisfied smile.

Suddenly, everyone's chatter vanished.

Two figures entered through the hall's entrance.

One was a courteous young gentleman with a folding fan in hand and a gentle expression.

The other was a woman dressed in red, like the Bride of an ancient noble family, her face cool and beautiful beyond compare.

Their style was clearly different from everyone else's, as if they had come from another world. The hanfu looked tailor-made on them, and there was no trace of modernity about them.

A wave of astonished cries broke out across the hall as everyone stared at the two people who had entered.

Most of the people here were freshmen, and nearly eighty percent were girls. Among the freshmen, not everyone was like Wang Dachui, who knew the Cool and Aloof Campus Belle already in her third year, much less someone like Luo Ye.

They simply felt that the two before them were far too beautiful, and for a moment, they were utterly captivated.

Liu Jianglai stood and said, "Many of you Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters haven't met her yet. She is the president of our Hanfu Club, Su Baizhou."

Upon hearing Su Baizhou's name, many people suddenly understood.

Not having seen Su Baizhou didn't mean they hadn't heard her name.

Jiang University Campus Belle, a Talented Woman in computer science, and a role model to many.

No wonder she was so beautiful. So she was Su Baizhou.

That raised a question. Rumor had it that Su Baizhou was as cold as ice, never participated in entertainment-oriented activities, and never had men around her.

So why was she here now? And what was with the boy beside her?

Seeing the strange looks from the people around him, Luo Ye slowed his pace. Instead of walking side by side with Fairy Senior Sister, he moved behind her, making it seem as though they had merely happened to enter together and didn't know each other.

He couldn't damage Senior Sister's image.

It had to be said, the people around them believed his act.

Soon afterward, several girls came over to get to know Luo Ye. After all, he was quite handsome.

After the tea gathering began, servers brought pastries and tea to everyone's tables.

In the middle of the hall, an ancient-style band played stirring music.

Su Baizhou's seat was beside Liu Jianglai's. After taking a sip of tea, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye and chuckled. "Senior Sister Zhouzhou, you came with that Junior Underclassman, didn't you?"

"He is Professor Gu's younger brother," Su Baizhou said expressionlessly.

"Professor Gu... no wonder. But even if he's Professor Gu's younger brother, with your personality, you wouldn't get to know him just because of that, would you?"

He knew Su Baizhou well. Even though Professor Gu was her teacher, she would never give Professor Gu's younger brother extra attention for that reason alone.

So the reason she was willing to get to know Luo Ye had to be that there was something about Luo Ye himself that attracted her.
