"Zhouzhou, this year's freshmen are full of hidden talent."

Qin Yuwen held her phone in front of Su Baizhou.

It was the campus confession page again.

"Admin, I'm confessing my love to this guy singing. His voice is so good."

A video a little over ten seconds long followed.

In the video, a boy in a military training uniform was singing.

Listening to that rich, resonant voice, Su Baizhou glanced at Luo Ye on the screen.

Seeing that Su Baizhou was actually listening, Qin Yuwen said smugly, "See, Zhouzhou? Even you, the Iceberg Goddess, can't help liking a good song."

"And the boy singing is kind of handsome, too."

But only Su Baizhou knew what the song Luo Ye sang meant.

A rainy day, huh...

Su Baizhou slowly began recalling what had happened that day.

Military training was finally over.

Building Eight, Dorm 515.

Luo Ye and his three roommates were incredibly excited.

Now that military training was behind them, their wonderful college life could truly begin.

"Let's eat out!"

The four made their decision on the spot, and with that, Dorm 515's first dinner together was underway.

"Brother Haoyang!"

Wang Dachui slung an arm around Li Haoyang's shoulders and asked, "You're a Jiangcheng local. Got any recommendations?"

"Of course."

"I'll take you to the restaurant downstairs from the gym for a nutritious meal."

Wang Dachui: ...

He turned to Luo Ye.

"Wild Kid, the three of us are all from this province. You're the only one from out of town, so you decide what we're eating."

Luo Ye thought for a moment, then said, "Let's have hot pot, then."

"Okay, settled! Hot pot it is."

The four took a taxi to the highest-rated hot pot restaurant near campus.

"Anyone not drinking?" Shen Qiao asked.

"Not drinking?"

Wang Dachui said indignantly, "We're all brothers here. It's our first dinner together. Let's see who dares say no."

"How could Dorm 515's first dinner not have booze? Boss, two bottles of beer each!"

"Two bottles?"

Luo Ye's gaze grew disdainful.

"Heh, a mere two bottles? For a proud northerner like me, that's just a warm-up."

... Half an hour later

"Hahahahaha!"

"We're brothers!"

"From today onward, the three of us are sworn brothers!"

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

"Third brother!"

"Second big brother!"

"Big little brother!"

Shen Qiao watched the three with their arms around one another's shoulders, utterly exasperated.

What happened to that northern drinking tolerance?

They couldn't handle a measly dozen or so bottles?

Countless beer bottles littered the floor around Shen Qiao's feet.

He, Shen Qiao, was the one who could drink the most.

Suddenly, Wang Dachui looked at the composed Shen Qiao and walked over, his face bright red.

"Brother Shen Qiao! I'm the best-looking guy in Dorm 515."

Shen Qiao: ...

"Come on, chug this bottle. Whoever can't finish has to call the other guy Dad."

With that, Wang Dachui grabbed a bottle of Brave into Heaven and began pouring it down his throat.

After two gulps, he couldn't drink any more.

"I, Wang Dachui, accept my defeat!"

Sensing what was coming, Shen Qiao quietly started recording...

"Dad!"

Shen Qiao smiled faintly and said, "I didn't quite catch that."

"Dad!"

Wang Dachui's face was full of sincerity.

"That's my good boy."

As he spoke, Shen Qiao noticed Wang Dachui lowering his head.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

His danger sense kicking in, Shen Qiao took two steps back.

The next moment, Wang Dachui puked up a colorful mess right where he stood.

"Holy shit!"

It was too awful to look at!

Fighting his nausea, Shen Qiao called a server over.

Then he took a taxi back to the dorm with the three of them.

In the taxi, Wang Dachui suddenly lowered his head again.

Seeing this, Shen Qiao cried out, "Don't puke in the car!"

Fortunately, Wang Dachui still had a little awareness left.

He quickly rolled down the window and stuck his head out.

The driver behind them: "You #×&**!"

Around eight that evening, the four returned to campus.

Supporting Li Haoyang with his left arm and Wang Dachui with his right, Shen Qiao struggled toward the dorm.

As a northerner with a relatively good tolerance for alcohol, Luo Ye had sobered up somewhat and trotted along behind them.

Suddenly, he stopped.

... Need the bathroom.

That was the only thought in Luo Ye's head at that moment.

He looked left and right but couldn't find a bathroom anywhere.

After thinking it over, he decided there had to be one in the classroom building.

Luo Ye headed toward the classroom building. He hadn't attended any classes yet and wasn't familiar with it, so he had no idea exactly where the bathrooms were.

Shen Qiao didn't notice that Luo Ye had left.

At the entrance to the classroom building, Su Baizhou walked out alone, carrying a bag. She wore a crystalline blue evening dress beneath a white jacket, with crystal-colored high heels on her feet.

Su Baizhou wore exquisite makeup that day, adding another touch of splendor to her already peerless beauty.

"Senior."

A faintly familiar voice sounded beside Su Baizhou, and she turned to look.

Luo Ye stood off to one side, looking rather dazed and foolish.

"Were you calling me?"

Only after seeing her face did Luo Ye realize she was the Fairy Senior from that day.

"I... hic, I need the bathroom... don't know... where it is... hehehe."

Su Baizhou pointed in a direction and said calmly, "Turn right once you're inside and keep going. You'll reach the bathroom."

"Thanks, senior."

Watching Luo Ye stagger away, Su Baizhou tilted her head and murmured, "At least he doesn't stutter when he says that."

Luo Ye emerged from the bathroom with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't I just see the Fairy Senior? And talk to her?"

Luo Ye was confused. He still hadn't completely sobered up.

"Must've imagined it."

Shaking his head, Luo Ye walked out of the classroom building.

As soon as he stepped outside, he noticed a breathtaking figure standing by the entrance.

It really was the Fairy Senior!

Luo Ye froze at the entrance, not knowing what to do.

Seeing him like that, Su Baizhou thought this younger boy was rather cute.

"Been drinking?"

"Yeah."

Hearing that, Su Baizhou took off her white jacket and draped it over Luo Ye.

With the jacket off, Su Baizhou revealed the crystalline blue evening dress underneath, studded with rows of crystals. Along with her makeup and high heels, a blue necklace rested against her delicate collarbones.

She truly looked like a fairy descended to earth. Luo Ye stared, completely spellbound.

He swore that the Fairy Senior before him was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life.

"I didn't bring your black jacket, so you don't have to return this one. Consider it compensation," Su Baizhou said calmly.

She had just finished her evening self-study session and changed into the evening dress in the classroom building's bathroom.

She simply hadn't expected this young junior to be the first person to see her wearing it.

Lucky little guy.

With that, Su Baizhou turned and left, leaving Luo Ye with only the sight of her graceful retreating figure.

Freshman welcome show rehearsal.

Su Baizhou arrived at the venue.

"President Su, you're just in time. Rehearsal only just started."

"Mm."

"I never knew you could sing as well as being so good with computers, President Su," the host said with a smile.

Su Baizhou felt rather helpless about the whole thing herself.

Every major had to put on a performance for the freshman welcome show.

Their computer science department was the only one with not only very few girls, but students who knew nothing except how to type away at a keyboard.

Left with no other choice, they had asked Su Baizhou to save the day.
