Watching Tang Enqi leave, Xu Xiaojia curled her lip and could not help asking, "Little Luo Ye, do you know that White Lotus?"
"White Lotus?"
Luo Ye looked at Xu Xiaojia in confusion.
Was she calling Tang Enqi a White Lotus?
Although he no longer liked her, whether she was a White Lotus or not... he truly did not know.
But whether she was one or not had nothing to do with the current Luo Ye.
"Yeah. Don't tell me you like this White Lotus?"
"No, I used to." Luo Ye answered honestly, without the slightest hesitation.
Xu Xiaojia gave him a speechless look and sighed. "Being this honest will get you scammed."
Hearing that, Luo Ye smiled. "My Aunt says the same thing, so I became a novelist. As long as I don't deal with people, I won't get scammed."
Xu Xiaojia: ...
"By the way, where were we? Right, the class monitor! Is the class monitor still upset? How about... asking him out for dinner tonight?"
Seeing the petite girl suddenly become so cautious, Luo Ye hesitated. "Wouldn't that be inappropriate? They haven't broken up yet."
"What?? They haven't broken up? Oh, right, you said they were only about to break up. Which scumbag woman is playing with the class monitor's feelings?"
Anger covered Xu Xiaojia's tiny face. Luo Ye looked toward the third cafeteria and pointed.
"It's... the one who just went over there. Liu Bingxin."
"What???"
Xu Xiaojia looked utterly shocked.
Come to think of it, she, Liu Bingxin, and Tang Enqi were roommates.
That was why, with poor relationships with both of them, she had practically no friends. After all, in college, more than half of one's time was spent in the dorm, and one's social circle was almost centered around it.
"So it was that little slut."
Luo Ye looked shocked upon hearing that. "What kind of inappropriate language is that?"
"Oh, I forgot there's a guy here."
Xu Xiaojia's dead-fish eyes stared at Luo Ye as she said flatly, "Tell me when they break up."
After learning that Li Haoyang's girlfriend was Liu Bingxin, Xu Xiaojia seemed to lose her soul.
Honestly, this girl's moods changed way too fast, didn't they? Crying one moment and laughing the next. If Coach got together with this thing, his future days probably would not be peaceful.
Xu Xiaojia went to the cafeteria to eat.
After buying a bottle of Energy Drink at a nearby supermarket, Luo Ye returned to the dorm to lie down for a while before class.
Dorm 515 was very quiet.
Since there were no classes for the first period, most people chose to sleep in. If they had no classes all morning, most would sleep until noon.
If Fairy Senior Sister did not have a habit of morning runs, Luo Ye would have been one of those people too.
He bought breakfast for the entire dorm. After returning, he looked at his roommates' sleeping faces, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.
It was like an old father who got up early to prepare for work, looking at his children who were still sound asleep.
It felt quite fulfilling.
He cleared his throat, about to wake his roommates for breakfast.
Suddenly.
A panda appeared before Luo Ye, meeting his eyes.
Luo Ye jumped in fright. Looking closer, he realized it was not a panda, but Li Haoyang.
"Coach? You... are you still alive?"
Li Haoyang's eyes were lifeless, and his dark circles looked as though they had been painted on with a brush—thick and black.
"Huh?"
Li Haoyang looked at Luo Ye listlessly and asked in a daze, "Am I still alive?"
"I'm asking you."
"I don't know."
"..."
Had he been so devastated that his brain crashed?
Seeing Li Haoyang like this, Luo Ye thought of the day after high school graduation when he received his Admission Letter from Jiang University.
Once he got into Jiang University, he could be together with Tang Enqi.
So he shared the news with her immediately.
But Tang Enqi did not reply.
She did not reply on the first day, nor on the second.
She did not reply for the entire summer break.
At first, he had been just like Li Haoyang. He felt as though his life had lost its drive, as though getting into that university had become meaningless.
But in the end, one lived for oneself. No one could remain trapped in the shadows forever.
Luo Ye patted Li Haoyang on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Coach, want to drink tonight?"
In Dorm 515, Shen Qiao and Luo Ye accounted for one hundred and ten percent of the dorm's drinking capacity, while Wang Dachui and Li Haoyang owed the remaining ten percent.
Still, Luo Ye invited Coach.
At the word drinking, Li Haoyang seemed to find motivation. His eyes brightened, as though he had found something to cling to.
Being sad was not scary.
What was scary was being sad alone.
And Coach still had him, his father.
"Tonight, we're adding an evening self-study session for Situations and Policies. The administrative teacher is taking leave tomorrow."
After the second class that afternoon, everyone heard this announcement from the Study Committee Member.
Immediately, miserable wails filled the classroom.
As the class monitor, Li Haoyang had slept through the entire day, since he had pulled an all-nighter.
During that time, Liu Bingxin had come to see him, but after failing to wake him, she could only leave.
Even now, no one had told Liu Bingxin why Li Haoyang had suddenly become like this.
But that did not matter, because the senior student who had been getting very close to Liu Bingxin these past few days appeared at their classroom door after class.
A third-year senior student, Shuai Kun.
When he had first pursued Tang Enqi, he had waited outside the girls' dorm to ask her out. Now that he had changed targets, he used the same method, waiting outside Liu Bingxin's classroom.
Shuai Kun lived up to his name. He was quite handsome, with a third of Shen Qiao's looks, wearing overalls and sporting a center part.
Luo Ye had seen him before, so he told his three roommates about this senior student.
At once, the atmosphere around the four people from Dorm 515 changed.
Li Haoyang became a lion waking from slumber. Shen Qiao narrowed his eyes, looking like an aloof Campus Heartthrob. Even Wang Dachui resembled a snarling toy poodle.
Soon, most of the class had left. Only the four from Dorm 515 remained, along with Tang Enqi and Liu Bingxin.
Seeing that there were few people left, Shuai Kun actually walked straight in and headed toward Liu Bingxin.
A trace of panic appeared on her face. She had not expected this senior student to be so bold as to wait for her outside the classroom where she had class.
Her boyfriend was right there.
"Junior Liu Bingxin, want to have dinner together?" Shuai Kun sat beside Liu Bingxin with a smile on his face.
Liu Bingxin shook her head. Though she was not exactly a good girl, she was not shameless enough to agree to dinner with someone pursuing her in front of her boyfriend.
But she also did not want Shuai Kun to know that she had a boyfriend.
Just as she was about to refuse, a sharp smack against a desk rang out.
Li Haoyang stood up and slammed his palm onto the desk.
The lines of muscle in his arm were clearly visible, making him look especially intimidating.
Seeing this, Luo Ye, Wang Dachui, and Shen Qiao stood up as well.
"Eat my ass!"
"Brothers, get him!"
The moment the words fell, the four of them rushed forward, dragged Shuai Kun into the camera's blind spot, and gave him a vicious beating.
