September 24, cloudy, 5:00 p.m.
Su Yichen paused as he was about to walk to the girls’ dormitory, pulling out his phone from his pocket.
[Mo Qingqiu: Su Yichen, come to my office at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.]
It wasn’t particularly early, but Senior Mo Qingqiu had been quite considerate. The time “9:00” was very thoughtful, on her own.
[Okay, Sister Qingqiu.]
Since he was now pursuing Mo Qingqiu, his address naturally had to be different from others. And a term of address with this level of intimacy, she should accept it.
The details needed attention.
But after composing the message, Su Yichen thought it over and deleted it. These words weren’t a love letter; they were dry and lacked charm. How about… he say it to her in person?
With that in mind, Su Yichen cleared his throat and put the phone to his mouth.
“Okay~, Sister Qingqiu~”
Hey, here it goes!
This voice message, Mo Qingqiu would listen to it at least five times.
Su Yichen was confident of that.
After sending the voice message, he didn’t dwell on Mo Qingqiu anymore and shifted his attention to the girls’ dormitory about a hundred meters ahead.
Su Yichen had a premonition.
Luo Yueli had now become a problem he had to face. Although Luo Yueli hadn’t shown much abnormality yet, this woman was “breaking the window.” She seemed to have found the window of the little dark room.
“Tsk…”
Su Yichen scratched his head, a bit troubled. He felt he would have to pay for this series of butterfly effects.
Su Yichen realized that he had slightly underestimated his weight in Luo Yueli’s heart, and that was the start of all this. So, that time he helped her out in the snack street must have moved her greatly.
This cliché plot of “the hero saves the beauty” happening between him and Luo Yueli, who were far from strangers.
Having made a huge change for you, becoming brave and confident. A person who had never changed, timid and shrinking, suddenly dared to stand in front of you and say “no” to others. Like a beam of light. The unexpected is what you call surprise.
At that time, Luo Yueli probably felt that the sky was bright.
It starts with looks, is admired for talent, fits in personality, lasts with kindness, and is loyal to character. Probably it was at that moment that he had complemented his personality, kindness, and character.
So in the hot pot restaurant, when he couldn’t open his eyes due to the steam, she would notice very considerately and help him take off his glasses. And at that moment, “starting with looks” was achieved.
Su Yichen felt that if Luo Yueli had fallen in love with him, these were the series of factors that attracted her. All the puzzle pieces fit together perfectly to form the two words “love.”
Talent, personality, kindness, and character attract the opposite sex’s inner resonance, yearning, and admiration. And appearance creates physical desire in the attracted person. Love and desire intersect.
Especially in a perfect romantic relationship, passion, intimacy, and commitment are all indispensable. Passion is the element of desire, whether you yearn for the other.
Intimacy is the warm experience of getting along with each other. And commitment is the loyalty to this feeling, whether you choose to share hardship and be faithful until death. Only when all three coexist does perfect love exist.
And Luo Yueli’s appearance seemed strange to Su Yichen. If it were leaning toward desire, he saw no desire in her.
The ones occupying passion and intimacy should be more like a lovesick girl like Tong Ya. But if it were just emotion, Luo Yueli didn’t have that either.
Luo Yueli inviting him and Tong Ya to dinner tonight meant she was sharing. This request was probably made by Tong Ya, and then Luo Yueli agreed. That was very strange. If one likes someone, they wouldn’t do this.
Hunters are selfish. Hunters don’t share their prey.
Then was it… just an introduction between friends? Simply wanting to introduce a friend to me? But he had already met Tong Ya, and she had seen them meet. Why would she go to the trouble?
Su Yichen felt he couldn’t see through Luo Yueli anymore. He didn’t really know what this girl was thinking or planning to do now.
If it were any other time, meeting such a tricky person, he could just avoid them. But now Luo Yueli was acquainted with two capture targets, especially close with Tong Ya. With a little carelessness, it might increase the deviation value.
“Hoo…”
Looking at the girls’ dormitory across the street, Su Yichen slowly exhaled.
He wasn’t afraid, just confused. Troubles wouldn’t make him timid.
“The first time I met the White Night Twins, they tortured me for ten years, and I still haven’t gone crazy.”
“This is nothing.”
He had seen and experienced too much.
Su Yichen adjusted his glasses and looked up at the sky.
The young man slowly narrowed his eyes. Those beautiful azure eyes gradually became long and narrow, yet there was an indescribable confidence and gentleness, exuding a captivating charm.
On the benches of the small square below the girls’ dormitory. Passing students, whether male or female, would momentarily glance at the two girls beside the bench.
They were too beautiful.
Several boys had already been pinched by their girlfriends’ ears for staring too intently and turning back to get another look.
“Lizi, why isn’t Su Yichen here yet?” Tong Ya looked around impatiently. She had dressed up nicely today, wearing a cute little skirt.
She had worn this outfit that day when she went to the academy to find Su Yichen, but hadn’t met him, only his roommate Huang Junjie.
“He should be here soon.”
“Hey, Xiaoya, look, over there.” Luo Yueli raised her hand and pointed delicately.
“He’s here.”
As soon as he crossed the street, Su Yichen saw Tong Ya bouncing over.
“Yichen!”
Perhaps because Luo Yueli was behind them, Tong Ya didn’t use the overly sweet address “Yichen-gege.” She just ran up to him, acting coquettishly like a little girl wanting praise: “Do I look good today?”
“Very good.”
Tong Ya was dressed very beautifully, her makeup carefully applied. She was much shorter than him, so he could see her bright smile when he looked down.
“This skirt suits you.”
Su Yichen praised her with a smile, then turned his gaze to Luo Yueli walking slowly behind the girl.
She carried a beige purse and wore an ordinary pure white dress, her black hair tied up with a ribbon of the same white silk.
Luo Yueli’s expression was gentle, a faint blush on her fair cheeks, her face blooming with a moving smile that carried a hint of shyness.
“Yichen.”
Then she softly called out his name.
[Lustrous black hair, pure white dress.]
[At this moment, the girl’s gentle voice, carrying the fragrance of grass and resin, was overwhelming.]
