Luo Ye was in a rather bad mood. After leaving the hospital, he wandered around aimlessly for a couple of rounds before preparing to return to the Family Building.
When he entered, Luo Ye discovered that Su Baizhou had not returned yet.
He sat on the sofa, turned on the television, and started watching.
As he watched, his posture shifted from sitting to lying down... and before long, he fell asleep.
By the time he woke up, it was already afternoon, yet Su Baizhou still had not returned.
Today was a holiday, and he had no idea what Senior Sister had been doing all day.
Luo Ye looked at his phone and sent Su Baizhou a message.
Luo Ye: Senior Sister, when are you coming back? [hungry expression]
As usual, she replied instantly.
Fairy Senior Sister: Tonight. You still haven't had lunch?
Luo Ye: I accidentally overslept.
Fairy Senior Sister: Then heat up the leftovers in the fridge... You know how to heat food, right?
Luo Ye: Of course.
After ending the chat, Luo Ye opened the refrigerator and found one of the boxed meals Senior Sister had prepared for his dorm room.
They were all leftovers from yesterday. They could not possibly finish everything, so they had packed the food into meal boxes for his roommates to eat after school started.
Luo Ye then entered the kitchen, took out the steamer, poured in some water, set in the steaming rack, and turned on the gas.
He knew how to heat food, but he did not know how long he was supposed to heat it for.
He searched online, then started timing it.
When the time was up, Luo Ye lifted the lid and looked at the food inside, his mouth watering.
As expected of food made by Fairy Senior Sister. Even leftovers smelled this good.
Luo Ye reached out, intending to take the plate out.
The moment his hand touched the plate, a wave of heat rushed at him and enveloped his fingers.
Luo Ye reflexively pulled his arm back, but his fingers were still slightly burned.
Luo Ye said helplessly, "People who never cook really have no kitchen sense."
Still, such a minor injury was nothing worth mentioning. It would heal on its own after a while.
Luo Ye found a dishcloth and used it to carry the plate out.
After eating, Luo Ye washed the dishes and tidied the house until it was spotless.
Then he went downstairs to buy a towel, intending to take a shower.
There were no toiletries of his in this home, so he had not showered yesterday.
After entering the bathroom, Luo Ye turned on the showerhead and began bathing.
As he washed, Luo Ye suddenly spotted two strange little garments hanging on the wall beside him.
They were white, with some lace patterns. They looked plain and innocent, but clothes like those obviously could not be worn by men.
One of them was even triangular.
Only girls wore things like that, right?
Luo Ye blushed and turned his head away, not daring to look again.
Last night, after Senior Sister had finished showering, she had hung her old little garments there, planning to wash them when she had time.
In other words, they were Senior Sister's unwashed intimate clothes.
Luo Ye recalled bumping into Senior Sister outside the restroom in the countryside.
Could Fairy Senior Sister's soft touch have come from her wearing this at the time?
At that thought, Luo Ye's little brother raised its head. He immediately became full of vigor, his eyes practically blooming with peach blossoms.
At that moment, Luo Ye's heart was filled with desire. The things hanging on the wall seemed like Pandora's box, luring him into committing a crime.
But Luo Ye was a proper gentleman. He simply twisted the faucet and changed the hot water to cold.
Ice-cold to the core, spirits soaring high.
Luo Ye's heart became as cold as the water, and his little brother's enthusiasm was extinguished by the cold shower as well.
After showering, Luo Ye sat on the sofa, but his thoughts had already drifted into the clouds.
Before long, sensing his little brother's enthusiasm rising again, Luo Ye said in disappointment, "Have some self-respect. If you've got the guts, make Senior Sister your girlfriend. Wouldn't that give you everything?"
Luo Ye stood up and returned to his room.
Push-ups. One, two, three, four...
No good.
Luo Ye ran outside again and began circling the school track.
Exercise!
He had been single for eighteen years. No, after today, it would be nineteen.
Having never been in a relationship, Luo Ye's mind had become somewhat muddled.
Today was the sixth day of the seven-day holiday, and students had gradually begun returning to campus.
Luo Ye ran five laps, then stopped. He was tired.
Still, compared to before, he had improved by two laps.
The sky gradually darkened, and night would soon fall.
Luo Ye sat on the track, recovering his strength.
Suddenly, his gaze fixed on the roadside outside the field.
A man and a woman were walking side by side there.
Luo Ye did not know the man, but the woman looked very familiar.
Wasn't that Long-legged Loli, Liu Bingxin?
Liu Bingxin was chatting and laughing with the boy. Although they kept their distance and made no intimate gestures, they seemed to be very close.
It was just like... the way she had interacted with Li Haoyang before they started dating.
Luo Ye might have been single, but as a romance novelist, he was a master of theory.
Though he had never experienced it himself, he understood everything.
Luo Ye stood up from the track, preparing to investigate.
He secretly followed the two of them all the way to the entrance of the women's dormitory.
By then, Luo Ye was close enough to hear their conversation.
He heard Liu Bingxin say with a smile, "Thank you for picking me up from the airport, Senior. You even helped carry my luggage the whole way. I really troubled you. I'll treat you to a meal this weekend."
Hearing this, the boy smiled slightly, revealing a very handsome expression as he said gently, "You're too polite, Junior Sister. How about I treat you to dinner tonight?"
Liu Bingxin revealed a hesitant expression and said thoughtfully, "Tonight..."
She did not continue, instead giving the boy an opportunity to ask further.
And just as she expected, he thoughtfully asked, "Do you have something to do tonight, Junior Sister? I can help you."
"It's nothing much."
Liu Bingxin looked at the boy before her and said softly, "It's just that I haven't finished the homework the teacher assigned last week, and class starts again the day after tomorrow..."
"I thought it was something serious. It's just a small matter. Leave it to me."
"Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Leave it to me. Then, Junior Sister, see you at the school gate tonight."
Not far away, Luo Ye wore a stunned expression upon hearing those words.
Th-this-this... what level was that?
Even this Senior had been led around by the nose by Liu Bingxin. He was doing her homework and treating her to dinner, yet he was still grinning foolishly, thinking he had gotten an incredible bargain.
No wonder Coach had been utterly bewitched. With his little bit of emotional intelligence, Liu Bingxin had him completely wrapped around her finger.
No, I can't watch Coach go down the wrong path.
This little Bingxin was absolutely a Tea Art Master of an extremely high level. Li Haoyang was far from the only fish by her side.
Luo Ye opened his private chat with Li Haoyang. Just as he was about to speak, a message popped up on his phone.
Fairy Senior Sister: Where are you?
Senior Sister was back?
Luo Ye exited his chat with Li Haoyang and hurriedly messaged Senior Sister.
Luo Ye: I'm coming!
After sending it, he left the entrance of the women's dormitory and happily headed toward the Family Building complex.
