The sunset over Sea God Lake was beautiful.
But the afterglow of the setting sun will eventually fade away.
The two walked hand in hand back to the dormitory building, Xiao Xiao still blushing.
She lingered at the corner of the stairwell for a long time before suddenly hugging the person in front of her.
The old man downstairs looked at the two of them and smiled, a rare occurrence for him.
He's so old, and seeing these young people showing off their love makes him think about his own youth, and the old man's expression turns bitter.
His brows were furrowed, as if those past events he didn't want to mention had resurfaced in his mind.
" Brother Yu, I'll head up now. See you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Xiao Xiao reluctantly let go of the person in front of her, then waved goodbye and went up to the fourth floor, looking back every few steps.
The first thing Cao Yu saw when he returned to his dormitory room was Wang Dong sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a white pillow in his arms.
He looked depressed and lost in thought, not noticing him even when he appeared at the door.
Wang Dong would frown from time to time, then grit his teeth and slam his fist hard on the pillow.
The soft pillow couldn't withstand the pressure and sank in instantly. When I let go, the pillow surface bounced back.
Cao Yu deliberately kept quiet, quietly entered the room, and sat down next to him.
Seeing his sullen and absent-minded appearance, Cao Yu suddenly thought of something.
If only we had cell phones now!
Take a picture of him like this as a keepsake; we can use this to smooth things over with him later.
Cao Yu nudged him with his elbow, chuckled, and said, "What? What are you thinking about?"
"What's bothering you? Tell me so I can cheer you up."
Wang Dong turned his head in surprise, a sudden thought flashing through his mind.
When did he come in? He looks like he's been in for quite a while; I didn't even notice him for so long.
Then, as if possessed, I asked, "Did you say yes to her?"
"Not yet." Cao Yu put his hands behind his head and then lay down on the comfortable bed.
Wang Dong was puzzled and said, "That shouldn't be the case! Knowing your personality, you would have agreed immediately."
"Hey! You've got the wrong person. Do I look like someone who's that casual?" Cao Yu glanced at him, then looked up at the ceiling as if deep in thought.
Wang Dong snorted and said, "I think that's you! If you didn't agree... then you refused?"
Cao Yu shook his head and said, "No, I sent her to chase after me."
"Pah! Shameless! How could you let someone pursue you? She's a girl!" Wang Dong looked at him incredulously, her eyes filled with intense contempt.
This guy is still as shameless as ever.
The paths they take are unconventional and unexpected.
This unethical behavior truly baffled him.
Cao Yu glanced at him and said unhurriedly, "What? Are men allowed to pursue women, but women aren't allowed to pursue men?"
Which law forbids women from pursuing men?
Oh my god!
Look at what he said.
Seeing his obnoxious behavior, I couldn't help but want to shove my shoe into his mouth and then beat him up.
How can there be such shameless people in the world?
Wang Dong pointed at him, looking helpless, but finally lowered her hand and said, "Fine, I won't argue with you anymore."
"Let's go, I'm a little hungry. Treat me to grilled fish, or I'll never talk to you again."
Cao Yu said, bewildered, "Ignoring me? What did I do to you? Are you trying to rip me off? You're clearly rich yourself."
"I don't care, it's your own fault for being so fickle today."
Cao Yu spread his hands and said, "Alright, my mistake. Is four servings enough for you?"
Wang Dong said, "How about two more servings?"
"Wow! You really are a pig."
"Go to hell! You're the pig, you big idiot!"
This time, Cao Yu didn't argue with him, letting him jump around on the sidelines.
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk to him, Wang Dong changed the subject and said, "Registration doesn't officially start until tomorrow, and the assessment probably won't begin until the day after tomorrow. With our combined cultivation as Soul Grandmaster, plus Xiao Xiao, we shouldn't be able to handle a few freshmen, and even second-year students might not be able to beat us."
Cao Yu reminded him, "I must correct you on one point: you are the Soul Grandmaster, while I am the Soul Elder! Don't compare yourselves, little brother."
"Damn it! Why didn't you tell me? You kept it a secret!"
You didn't ask either.
In the evening, the two of them went to the store together as usual, but there were noticeably fewer people at the college gate today.
Perhaps because of the upcoming freshman assessment, most of the freshmen felt a sense of urgency and stayed in their dormitories to study hard.
However, the store's business was not affected by this, and Huo Yuhao and a group of kitchen staff were still busy in the kitchen.
As soon as Cao Yu entered the store, he saw Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi sitting inside, holding grilled fish and eating heartily.
It's rare to run into them again today, since we bumped into each other three months ago.
" Young Master Cao, what a coincidence!" Xu Sanshi put down the grilled fish in his hand and greeted him.
"Hmm, how is it? Is it delicious?" Cao Yu asked.
Xu Sanshi gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "You're the best! This grilled fish tastes absolutely amazing, hahaha!"
Bei Bei couldn't help but say, "Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Bei Bei. I was in a hurry when I left and didn't have time to introduce myself."
"Hello, you can call me Cao Yu."
Bei Bei asked, "And who is this person next to you?"
"Hello, senior, I'm Wang Dong, this guy's roommate." Wang Dong introduced himself with a slight smile.
Seeing their handsome appearance, Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei burst into laughter.
Haha! Handsome people always seem to flock together.
Bei Bei asked curiously, "Are you two both freshmen at the Shrek Academy?"
After all, their white school uniforms are still easy to recognize.
"You don't know?" Cao Yu nodded.
Bei Bei laughed heartily, "I didn't realize it at first. After all, it's quite rare to see someone as accomplished at such a young age as Junior Brother Cao Yu. I thought you were just a businessman who ran a shop."
Moreover, Cao Yu is quite tall and doesn't look like a freshman. If he weren't wearing this school uniform, Bei Bei really wouldn't have recognized him.
Cao Yu laughed and said, "Hahaha! Your praise makes me a little embarrassed."
Afterwards, the four of them sat down at a table together, ate grilled fish, and chatted. Before long, their relationship became harmonious. During this time, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi kept offering advice to the two students on their freshman assessments, sharing some of their past experiences. Understanding these experiences would help the two students avoid some detours to a certain extent.
" Little Yu ~ Little brother~" Just then, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.
Hello, senior.
Upon hearing the voice, Cao Yu turned around and saw that it was Xiaotao Sister Xiao Tao, whom he had met at Sea God Lake three months ago.
My senior still has such a great figure.
His gaze fell on the senior student, recalling the scene from that time. The warmth of her hands seemed to still linger, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips.
