"I understand, Senior Sister."

Luo Ye said seriously.

Then he got busy, chopping vegetables and preparing ingredients, putting what needed refrigeration into the fridge. In the end, he discovered that the refrigerator simply could not hold everything.

Anyone who did not know better would have thought his family was celebrating the New Year today.

He had been too eager to prove himself. As he kept buying things, he realized he had bought far too much.

It seemed that pursuing a girl could not be rushed after all. He still had to keep his feet on the ground and treat it with an even temper.

Come to think of it, when should he confess to Senior Sister?

Luo Ye began seriously considering the matter.

"Junior Brother."

Su Baizhou leaned halfway out of the kitchen, holding a spoon. "Come help me."

"Coming, Senior Sister."

Luo Ye's thoughts were instantly interrupted, and he eagerly trotted into the kitchen.

Before long, dinner for the day was ready.

Since there were only two of them, Su Baizhou had not made much.

However, Su Baizhou had already thought of a way to deal with the huge pile of ingredients Luo Ye had bought.

She planned to turn them into boxed meals. That way, the meat and seafood would not spoil so quickly. She could keep the boxed meals fresh, then have Luo Ye bring them to his roommates when school started the day after tomorrow.

Otherwise, the two of them could never finish it all, and fresh ingredients would spoil within a day or two.

After dinner, Su Baizhou sat on the sofa watching television while Luo Ye went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Once he was done, Luo Ye also sat on the sofa.

They sat at opposite ends of the couch, staring intently at the television.

Of course, neither of them was actually focused on it.

After a long while, Su Baizhou asked, "Is your family very wealthy?"

Luo Ye froze when he heard that.

Senior Sister must have seen the ingredients from dinner tonight, which was why she asked that.

He scratched his head and replied, "I have a part-time job, so I've earned some money."

Su Baizhou did not ask any further, nor did she ask what his part-time job was. She only said, "You don't need to buy such expensive things next time."

"I understand, Senior Sister."

Soon, it was nighttime, and Su Baizhou stood up.

"Let's sleep."

"Okay."

The two returned to their respective rooms.

Although there was no blanket in Luo Ye's room, the weather in early October was not cold enough for him to feel chilly even without one.

Luo Ye took out his phone and began writing in his room.

Meanwhile, Su Baizhou was also doing computer-related freelance work in her own room.

Two hours later, Luo Ye had finished four thousand words. He stretched, then glanced at the time.

12:30 a.m.

Luo Ye quietly opened his bedroom door and poked his head out to look at the pitch-black living room.

The bathroom light was on, and a graceful figure inside was taking a shower.

Luo Ye silently shut the door, his heart thumping wildly.

Why was Senior Sister showering at this hour?

He knew Fairy Senior Sister's sleep schedule was irregular, but he had not expected her to take a shower in the middle of the night.

But thinking about it, it made sense. While Luo Ye was in the living room, Su Baizhou naturally could not take a shower. She had only come out to bathe after thinking Luo Ye had fallen asleep.

But Luo Ye had not been asleep. Besides, with no computer, he had been writing on his phone without making the slightest sound.

The room was silent, with only the sound of water from the bathroom echoing through the living room.

Luo Ye sat in the chair in his room, absentmindedly scrolling through short videos.

In the freshman group chat, that rich second-generation kid was still showing off. He had posted photos of his luxury car in the group and was asking how to park it.

And out of every five messages, one would tag Tang Enqi. He seemed very interested in this New Student Campus Belle.

Come to think of it, this rich second-generation kid was one of the three most notable freshmen. His name was Gao Yuming.

Another was Shen Qiao, the New Student Campus Heartthrob known for his looks. The last was Tang Enqi, the New Student Campus Belle, who naturally needed no introduction.

There was more than one rich second-generation student at the university, but he was the only one who showed off at every turn.

Watching all the attention-seeking messages in the freshman group chat every day was how Luo Ye passed the time.

Soon, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

Su Baizhou put on her pajamas, came out of the bathroom, and returned to her room.

The light in the master bedroom was still on, meaning Fairy Senior Sister was still working.

Luo Ye quietly slipped out of his room and went to use the bathroom.

The entire bathroom was filled with a rich fragrance. Luo Ye knew it well—it was Senior Sister's natural scent.

After taking a quick leak, Luo Ye returned to his room.

Though they lived under the same roof, Luo Ye still chose to message Senior Sister.

"Go to bed early, Senior Sister."

When Su Baizhou's phone received the message, she looked at it, her gaze becoming a little distant.

She looked back at the computer in front of her. She had only completed seventy percent of this freelance assignment, and it would take at least another hour to finish it completely.

Normally, Su Baizhou would not need to be so busy during the holiday, but she had something to do tomorrow, so she was staying up late tonight.

She needed to leave the entire next day free.

At two in the morning, Su Baizhou stretched and prepared to sleep.

When the light in Fairy Senior Sister's room finally went out, Luo Ye climbed into bed as well, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

The next day, at eight o'clock.

Luo Ye opened his eyes.

He changed clothes and prepared to wash up.

After leaving his room, he saw a neatly arranged breakfast on the table, and surprise appeared in his eyes.

A basket of soup dumplings, two fried dough sticks, two cups of soy milk, and two Tea Eggs.

Su Baizhou was sitting at the table, waiting for Luo Ye to wake up.

Luo Ye walked into the bathroom, then suddenly realized he had no toothpaste, not even a towel. He could only return and sit across from Fairy Senior Sister.

Seeing that Luo Ye did not look very energetic, Su Baizhou said lightly, "Are you like this every day?"

"Not really. When I stay up late for too long, I get really sleepy when I wake up early."

Luo Ye yawned, then stuffed an entire soup dumpling into his mouth.

After eating one, Luo Ye asked in confusion, "Senior Sister, when did you buy breakfast?"

Su Baizhou was dressed in loose black clothes. The black hair at her temples was slightly damp, as though she had just finished exercising.

Luo Ye had seen Fairy Senior Sister like this before.

It had been on the track that day.

"I went for a morning run and bought breakfast on the way back."

Su Baizhou propped up her chin and stared at Luo Ye without blinking, as though she were expecting something.

Embarrassed by her gaze, Luo Ye lowered his head and silently continued eating.

For some reason, Su Baizhou really liked watching Luo Ye eat.

When this guy ate, he looked adorably absorbed, as though all his attention was focused on the food.

Meanwhile, Luo Ye was only thinking that he had to be like Senior Sister in the future and go for a morning run every day to stay healthy, so he would not end up in poor health when he got old.

Of course, it definitely was not because he wanted to go on morning runs with Fairy Senior Sister every day.
