Your Privacy Is Mine

At the tea party, two girls came over to Luo Ye and asked for his Green Bubble QR code.

Luo Ye scratched his head. Thinking of how Shen Qiao always said he had a girlfriend when turning people down, he copied him. "I have a girlfriend."

Upon hearing that, every girl who had come to ask for his Green Bubble left disappointed.

Although Su Baizhou had been looking at her phone the whole time, the corner of her eye had been fixed on Luo Ye.

Seeing that every girl who approached him returned empty-handed, she somehow felt relieved. She silently approved of her decision to attend the gathering.

If she had not come, would this junior underclassman have added them all? Then he would be juggling N relationships at once.

Women truly did have rich imaginations.

Su Baizhou gradually sank into her fantasy world, as if she could see Luo Ye toying with many girls' feelings and irresponsibly abandoning them.

Liu Jianglai stared in astonishment beside her.

When had the Iceberg Goddess ever shown such an expression?

Was she angry, or what?

He had practically never seen Su Baizhou lose herself in thought, yet now she was not only spacing out but also getting angry.

What exactly was she angry about?

After the ancient-style band finished performing, they left.

The remaining performances would be handled by the Hanfu Club members themselves.

Next, everyone would introduce themselves. Some students had even prepared performances to go with their introductions—singing or dancing—to leave a deeper impression on the others and get acquainted more quickly.

To be honest, in most clubs, people could spend a whole year there without necessarily making more than a few new friends.

But the atmosphere in the Hanfu Club really was different. Everyone had gathered because of the same hobby, because of their love for hanfu and ancient-style culture, so there was almost always something to talk about.

Soon, it was Luo Ye's turn to introduce himself.

He stood up and, seeing a crowd of people watching him, suddenly became a little socially anxious.

Subconsciously, he glanced at the only person he knew—Su Baizhou.

He found that Fairy Senior Sister was looking at him too.

In the quiet hall, their gazes met across the distance by sheer coincidence.

The next moment.

Luo Ye's face reddened slightly, and he quickly lowered his head.

Su Baizhou also turned her head slightly, concealing herself.

Liu Jianglai clearly caught this scene, and a silent smile appeared on his face.

There was something going on!!

This was an opportunity.

As the organizer of the gathering, Liu Jianglai said, "Junior underclassman, don't be nervous. Introduce yourself boldly."

"Okay! Senior!"

Since Military Training had ended less than half a month ago, Luo Ye was still dressed in hanfu. He stood at attention and said seriously, "My name is Luo Ye! First-year student! My hobbies are gaming! Singing! Wildly imaginative writing! I'm eighteen, and my birthday is—"

"Alright, next person," Su Baizhou suddenly said.

It was the first thing she had said during the gathering, directly interrupting Luo Ye's introduction.

Everyone turned to look at her, including Luo Ye, who was a little stunned.

Everyone's first thought was that Su Baizhou disliked Luo Ye, which was why she had interrupted his introduction.

Luo Ye thought so too. A somewhat dejected look appeared on his face, and he silently sat back down.

Seeing this, Su Baizhou remained expressionless, but her heart was anything but calm.

What had she just done?

She had only felt that if Luo Ye continued, would he not have no privacy left at all?

Even his birthday? She did not even know Luo Ye's birthday, so why should anyone else know it?

But what did it have to do with her whether Luo Ye told others his birthday?

Why did she feel such urgency, as if something good had been discovered by someone else? Like when other people spent money, yet she was the one getting anxious.

So, under what circumstances would someone else spending money make her anxious?

Of course...

When the money they were spending was hers.

Su Baizhou was still deep in thought when she noticed that Luo Ye had become quiet after returning to his seat. He looked thoroughly depressed and miserable, pitiful enough to make one feel sorry for him.

Resting his chin on his hand, Liu Jianglai whispered in a voice only he and Su Baizhou could hear, "Senior Sister Zhouzhou, once you get back, you need to make it up to this junior underclassman properly. You made him sad."

Su Baizhou said nothing, not knowing what she could say.

After the gathering ended, the Hanfu Club members went home one after another, while Luo Ye remained blankly seated where he was, looking somewhat lost.

Liu Jianglai gave Su Baizhou and Luo Ye a baffled look before leaving as well.

Only the two of them remained, along with several hotel lobby attendants clearing away the tables.

Su Baizhou walked over and said flatly, "Let's go."

"Oh..."

Luo Ye seemed not to know what to say, but he still forced a smile, rose from his seat, and followed Su Baizhou toward the parking lot.

Pink Chopped Chili Fish Head was still as adorable as ever.

But looking at Su Baizhou's back, Luo Ye only felt that an uncrossable gulf lay between them.

That was right. She was the Iceberg Goddess, the Cool and Aloof Campus Belle.

How could he hope that she would like him? Perhaps, in Fairy Senior Sister's eyes, he was not even a friend—merely someone she knew, at most a gaming partner.

Luo Ye opened the car door and drove back to Teacher's Apartment in silence.

In the Teacher's Apartment parking lot, Luo Ye took out Chopped Chili Fish Head's car key and handed it to Su Baizhou. To keep her from seeing his sadness, he forced a smile and said, "Senior Sister, here's your key."

Su Baizhou did not reach out to take the key. Instead, she asked, "Your birthday."

"Huh?" Luo Ye looked confused.

"Your introduction is not over yet. When is your birthday?" Su Baizhou asked with a hint of seriousness.

Fairy Senior Sister... she asked for my birthday?

"O... October 6th."

October 6... the second-to-last day of the seven-day holiday. Was that not almost here?

Su Baizhou nodded, then said, "In future introductions, you don't need to reveal everything about yourself."

"Oh... okay."

Seeing Luo Ye's adorably dazed expression, Su Baizhou asked again, "Is there anything else you need to introduce?"

Hearing that, Luo Ye looked at Fairy Senior Sister's breathtakingly beautiful face and asked in confusion, "But Senior Sister, didn't you just say I didn't need to reveal everything in my introduction?"

At that, Su Baizhou blinked her lovely eyelashes. Her cold face clearly showed no expression, yet Luo Ye somehow sensed the faintest trace of a smile.

"This time is an exception."

For Su Baizhou at that moment, saying those words had already been extremely difficult. Being able to say them meant she had mustered a great deal of courage inwardly.

Luo Ye thought for a moment before saying, "My parents are police officers. They are the parents I'm most proud of."

His parents were police officers?

No wonder this junior underclassman had such sound values, was so polite, and showed respect for others in both his words and actions.

Luo Ye looked at Su Baizhou and buried the final part of his introduction in his heart.

The person I like is Fairy Senior Sister.

It's you.
