Fairy Senior Sister Cooks

"The car keys can stay with you until I learn how to drive," Su Baizhou said softly.

Then, she turned and prepared to leave the parking lot.

After taking a couple of steps, she suddenly looked back, her eyes fixed on Luo Ye, and said again, "What are you spacing out for? Aren't you changing your clothes?"

If he didn't change, Luo Ye would have to return to school in his Hanfu.

"Should I change at Senior Sister's place?"

Su Baizhou didn't answer.

Luo Ye also felt it was a redundant question. He put the car keys in his bag and then followed his senior sister back to Unit 4, Building 5, Apartment 614, the faculty apartments.

Arriving at 614 once more, the two returned to their respective rooms to change into casual clothes.

This time, Luo Ye finally had the chance to examine the room Gu Mingxuan had left for him.

Although he had been here once the day before school started, he had only come in to play a game and hadn't familiarized himself with the place at all.

After changing into casual wear, Luo Ye looked around his room.

One bed took up half the space, along with a wardrobe, a desk, a bay window, and a chair. That was all there was in the room, but it had the most basic necessities.

Luo Ye looked up and showed a satisfied expression when he saw the air conditioner.

It had an air conditioner, which was great. His dorm didn't even have one, just an electric fan that whirred noisily.

Luo Ye opened the door and found that Fairy Senior Sister had already changed into a long, flowing dress and was wearing an apron as she busied herself in the kitchen.

Was she... cooking?

That made sense. The snacks and tea from the tea party were barely enough to whet one's appetite. She must be hungry too.

Luo Ye poked his head in, surprised, "Senior Sister, it smells so good."

He hadn't expected Fairy Senior Sister to be not only beautiful and talented but also so domestic.

She could grace a banquet hall and manage a kitchen.

In the kitchen, Su Baizhou was stir-frying. Upon hearing his words, she didn't say anything but continued to busy herself.

Luo Ye left his room and walked into the kitchen, coming up beside Su Baizhou.

He looked at the food in the pot and realized that she clearly couldn't eat all of it.

So, it was obvious she had made enough for two people.

Thinking this, Luo Ye volunteered, patting his chest, "Senior Sister, let me help you."

Su Baizhou's movements paused. Recalling how Luo Ye could barely grill pork belly during their barbecue, she immediately swung her spatula, blocking Luo Ye's approach.

"No need."

Su Baizhou continued to stir-fry.

A moment later, she added, "This is repayment for the takeout you ordered for me early this morning."

Hearing this, Luo Ye could only watch from the side with longing.

Soon, Su Baizhou had prepared two dishes and a soup, and also cooked rice.

Although the meal before him wasn't lavish, the thought that Fairy Senior Sister had made it made Luo Ye feel it was the best feast he had ever eaten.

And it was true. Su Baizhou's cooking skills were excellent. Compared to Luo Ye, who was completely clueless in the kitchen, it was as if all of the latter's cooking skill points had been transferred to the former.

Under Su Baizhou's expressionless gaze, which held a hint of anticipation, Luo Ye took a bite of the dish she had made.

Instantly, Luo Ye's eyes lit up, and he said with satisfaction, "Delicious!"

Having received a positive affirmation, Su Baizhou felt relieved and a sense of fulfillment. She then began to eat as well.

The meal was quickly cleared under Luo Ye's voracious appetite.

Luo Ye stood up, happily saying, "I'll wash the dishes!"

Without waiting for Su Baizhou to react, he began clearing the bowls and chopsticks from the table and went straight to the kitchen.

This time, it was Su Baizhou's turn to watch Luo Ye busy himself in the kitchen.

However, washing the dishes didn't take long. A few minutes later, Luo Ye returned to his room, picked up his bag, and prepared to head back to the dorm.

"Goodbye, Senior Sister."

Luo Ye waved. Su Baizhou simply nodded silently.

After Luo Ye left, Su Baizhou sat at the table, looking at the empty living room before her. A trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

What was this feeling?

Why was it that after he left, she felt a sense of emptiness, as if the house was missing something... even though he had only been here for a little over an hour.

Moreover, their frequency of meeting seemed to be increasing lately.

Thinking this, Su Baizhou shook her head.

Although... she might indeed be starting to develop feelings for this junior, she had to maintain her composure... Yes, composure.

After leaving Building 5, Unit 4, Luo Ye dialed Gu Mingxuan's number.

"Hello! Brother, I wanted to ask if you rented your apartment to Senior Sister Su?"

Laughter came from Gu Mingxuan's end of the line, and then he asked, "What's wrong? Su Baizhou is my student. Is there a problem with her renting my place while I'm away?"

"No problem... but the dorm doesn't have air conditioning. If I'm not in the dorm, where will I stay? Most importantly, the holiday is coming up soon, seven days! Where am I supposed to go?"

"Oh, you don't know that yet? Little brother, go pursue Su Baizhou. Whether you can move in depends on whether you can make her your girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye exclaimed in panic, "What pursuit? Fairy Senior Sister isn't a game character."

"It's just a metaphor. Don't tell me you don't like her. I know your personality all too well."

Luo Ye fell silent.

"Little brother, good luck. I won't be back for at least half a year. I hope I'll have a nephew by then."

Luo Ye was utterly shocked by this statement.

A nephew in half a year?

But the call had already ended. Luo Ye could only sigh helplessly.

His parents were police officers. They had him at thirty-two due to their busy work schedules.

At that time, Gu Mingxuan was already ten years old.

So, Gu Mingxuan had practically raised him. He could guess Luo Ye's every little thought almost instantly.

By the time he returned to the dorm, it was already four in the afternoon.

Wang Dachui, tired from playing games, was lying on his bed, fast asleep.

Shen Qiao, however, was sitting on his bed, lost in thought.

"What's wrong, Male Star?" Luo Ye asked curiously.

Shen Qiao looked at Luo Ye and gave a bitter smile. "It's about my family."

"Every family has its own troubles."

Luo Ye sighed.

For Shen Qiao to be so worried even at school meant that whatever was happening in his family was serious and likely involved him directly.

Speaking of which, Male Star always said he had a girlfriend. At first, they thought he was just saying it to reject girls asking for his contact information. But when his roommates asked him in the dorm, he also said he had a girlfriend.

Thinking of this, Luo Ye asked curiously, "Male Star, honestly, I'm really curious if you actually have a girlfriend."

"I have a girlfriend."

Mentioning his girlfriend, Shen Qiao's expression softened slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. However, the sadness in his eyes seemed to deepen.

He took out his phone and showed Luo Ye his wallpaper, smiling. "My girlfriend, Xiao Lei. What do you think? Isn't she beautiful?"

"She's gorgeous!"

Luo Ye exclaimed in admiration.

As expected of a male star's girlfriend.

"Xiao Lei and I met in our first year of high school and have been together for three years."

Luo Ye was surprised.

No wonder Male Star seems so mature. He has such extensive dating experience.

In this fast-paced era, being able to stay with one person for a lifetime, Luo Ye couldn't imagine how happy that would be.

"Then where is she? Is she also at a school in Jiangcheng?"

"Mhm."

Shen Qiao's eyes held a strange look. He forced a smile and said, "At Jiangcheng Medical University..."
