A young girl’s heart filled with love is often very delicate; it is impossible for her not to notice such a change in address.
**[Tong Ya Hatred Value +5]**
Looking at the cat hatred value coming in, Su Yichen nodded inwardly with satisfaction.
He was beginning to understand more and more about the cause of this hatred value and how to obtain it. He figured that in another one or two times, he would be able to fully figure it out.
When that time came, the capture plan could be fully rolled out.
However…
Looking at Tong Ya’s hatred value, which had already risen to 20, Su Yichen felt a slight sense of panic, as her love value was currently only 25.
He decided not to pluck the little kitten’s fur too much for now; it was better to let the water flow slowly.
If the vinegar jar suddenly exploded…
It would be a shura field.
It was a pity there was no display for Luo Yueli’s love value. Otherwise, with his current flirting move, her love value would have surely increased by five.
But what if it did?
Su Yichen was not particularly worried. A natural-born scum girl did not understand love.
So, an increase was the same as no increase at all.
She would still be trapped in that cage called “childhood friend,” never to see the light of day.
Hearing Su Yichen speak like that, the expression on Tong Ya’s face froze for a split second, and her heart sank slightly.
‘Sure enough… I still can’t compare to Lizi…’
‘I already call him Yichen, yet he doesn’t call me Xiaoya…’
‘Instead, he calls Lizi, “Yueli”…’
Meanwhile, Luo Yueli did not seem to react much after hearing Su Yichen’s voice.
But the slight trembling of her cute, small ears… gave her away.
Luo Yueli rarely wore her inner thoughts on her face. It was not that she was calculating, but rather that she was not good at talking or expressing her emotions.
Yet, a young girl’s heart was often extremely sensitive and could not hide much.
Thus, over time, those small, cute ears—the kind people would want to hold and play with at a single glance—became the outlet for Luo Yueli’s emotions.
Once there was a violent fluctuation in her heart, the girl’s ears would react slightly.
These were all unknown little habits, just like how she held her phone with the hand closest to the person she disliked when walking on the snack street that day.
Other people simply did not know.
But Su Yichen knew.
Because…
Luo Yueli was his unattainable white moonlight.
She and he were childhood friends.
“So, Senior Mo Qingqiu, why did you come looking for us?” Angry as she was, Tong Ya was no fool.
Now was not the time to dwell on these small issues; the priority was to figure out this woman’s intentions.
The girl always felt this woman in front of her was strange, as if she were intentionally looking for trouble.
“Junior Tong Ya, I simply brought Juniors Luo Yueli and Shen Ran here to discuss their joining the school literature and art union department.”
It had to be said that a senior was indeed a senior; Mo Qingqiu was much more mature and stable in all aspects. Her voice was steady and full of patience.
“I didn’t expect to run into you, and what a coincidence—these two juniors are your classmates.”
“They’re even your roommates.”
“It’s just that I didn’t realize the relationship between you roommates didn’t seem very good. I’m sorry if I made you unhappy.”
“I apologize to you.”
“Junior Tong Ya, I’ll just—”
Before Mo Qingqiu could finish, Tong Ya hurriedly interrupted her and said, “Not at all. My relationship with Lizi and Shen Ran is quite good.”
She did not care about Shen Ran, but Su Yichen was present right now. Tong Ya did not want Su Yichen to think there was any conflict between her and Luo Yueli.
Moreover, their relationship actually was decent; in the entire Dormitory 502, Tong Ya and Luo Yueli were the closest.
“It’s just that Yichen and I don’t have much money, so we’re being very careful with our order.” Tong Ya sighed and sat back in her chair with a helpless expression. “If you guys want to join, we’ll have to split the bill.”
“So that was the issue… Don’t worry, Junior. Your senior knows how to handle social etiquette.”
‘How interesting…’
‘Very interesting…’
‘The dignified young miss of the Tong Clan is actually saying she has no money?’
‘Pretending to be poor?’
‘Does she really need to go that far?’
The prices in the dessert shop were definitely not unaffordable; even students from ordinary families could afford to come once in a while.
So… what was her reason for doing this?
Why was it like this?
Was it because of… this boy named Su Yichen?
Mo Qingqiu did not show any sign of abnormality. She let out a sigh of relief as if she had set down a heavy burden, then curved her eyes and smiled slightly.
“Since I’m the senior and I’m intruding on your space, how could I let you pay?”
“Meeting like this means we have a bit of fate. It’s my treat today.”
“Since you put it that way… I’m not an unreasonable person.” After hearing Mo Qingqiu’s words, Tong Ya’s tense little face immediately relaxed.
She then looked toward Su Yichen and asked in an inquiring tone, “Then I have no objection. What about you, Yichen? Do you think it’s okay?”
“I’ll go with what you think.” Su Yichen smiled and did not say much, but he kept his tone as casual as possible.
He was not as awkward as he had been in front of Luo Yueli during military training, but he had not completely let his guard down either.
Others could not tell, but Tong Ya, who had a basis for comparison, noticed it.
Tong Ya was happy about this subtle shift in Su Yichen’s attitude. No matter what, in her eyes, this was Su Yichen’s first step out of the prison called “Luo Yueli.”
However, Luo Yueli, who was equally delicate… did not share Tong Ya’s joy.
She felt as though Su Yichen had drifted a bit further away from her. And until now, she still had not found a way to get closer to him.
Except for… introducing Tong Ya to him.
“Thank you, both of you~”
Hearing that Su Yichen also agreed, Mo Qingqiu sat back down on the sofa and spoke generously. “Order whatever you like. It’s on me.”
While scanning the QR code with her phone to place the order, Luo Yueli spoke to Tong Ya. “Xiaoya, why are you and Yichen here today?”
“Oh, this…”
If it were before, Tong Ya might have worried about being caught, but after the words Luo Yueli said yesterday… combined with what she saw today… things were likely a bit different from what she had previously thought.
Tong Ya, who was practically a walking library of romance novels, knew that this development was very likely to become a real-life crematorium husband-chasing plot.
It was just that the fire had only just started burning, and the “husband” had not been chased yet.
Thinking of this, Tong Ya said, “I wanted to come and check out the clubs today. Lizi, didn’t you say you were busy today…?”
“Yichen and I are somewhat familiar, so I asked him to accompany me for a stroll.”
Since Luo Yueli already said she wanted to introduce them, the priority was to make her admit it as soon as possible.
Tong Ya was already calculating. She would have Luo Yueli “officially” introduce Su Yichen to her as soon as they got back today.
It had to be fast! She absolutely could not give Luo Yueli the chance to regret it when it was too late!
