After a period of playful banter, things returned to calm.

Bai Ye finished her breakfast first, while Ye Qingcheng had only eaten half of it.

It wasn't appropriate to just watch others eat, so Bai Ye started trying to find a topic to talk about.

"By the way, do you have PE class today?"

Ye Qingcheng looked at him warily: "How did you know?"

Bai Ye was left speechless, both amused and exasperated: "I signed up for badminton, and sometimes when get out of class ends late, the next batch of students arrives, and I think you were one of them."

Ye Qingcheng looked at me like I was an idiot: "Then why are you asking me if I have PE class?"

"I……"

Bai Ye was speechless for a moment.

I just wanted to find something to talk about, otherwise it would be awkward if we didn't say anything, okay? You killed the conversation right away, what am I supposed to say?

Ye Qingcheng ate her breakfast slowly and carefully. Because she has a small stomach, she specifically asked the aunt to order less rice when buying the rice balls.

Bai Ye finished her breakfast in about ten minutes, and it was exactly 7:39 when she was done.

It was about the same as Bai Ye's estimated 20-minute mealtime.

He could have gone faster, but unfortunately, he encountered Ye Qingcheng, the wealthy boss who offered him a new job.

Bai Ye casually asked, "What classes are there at 8 AM?"

"English, what about you?"

"Advanced Mathematics".

Are you free this weekend?

Ye Qingcheng asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Ye honestly said, "I'll treat you to a meal. After all, you've helped me so much, I should thank you properly."

Bai Ye was indeed very grateful to her because she had helped her escape the terrible news from the dormitory.

Only those who have truly experienced the ultimate tragedy of losing a roommate can understand how painful it is.

A King of Glory player at 2 AM, a guy dressed like a sissy, a guy with a biohazard mushroom—it's hell!

There are two other roommates who exchange a few words with each other without any problems.

But they were also terribly unfamiliar with each other; their fake smiles could not conceal their cold hearts and the distance between them.

High school dorms are still the best; Bai Ye inexplicably misses high school.

But high school life is only worth remembering; he would rather die than go back.

He also fantasized about whether he would return to his high school days like the protagonists in those rebirth novels, and then start to turn his life around, get into a 985 university, and build his own business empire.

However, imagination is just imagination. If he were to actually go back to the past, he would probably still do the same thing, and he would never like to study if he didn't like studying.

Ye Qingcheng waved her hand to indicate that she hadn't done anything: "No need, I didn't do anything big."

"No, I must thank you. You saved me from this misery."

"But……"

"Please, please, we've known each other for so long, it's just a meal I'm treating you to! Relax, relax!"

Ye Qingcheng blushed and tilted her head with a touch of arrogance, agreeing, "Alright then, since you insist so strongly, I'll reluctantly agree!"

Bai Ye's lips twitched.

There's no need to force yourself like that.

Well, since the other party agreed, Bai Ye felt better about it.

Hehe, a wonderful moving life awaits me.

Since Bai Ye hadn't brought any books with him, he said goodbye and left.

After saying goodbye to Ye Qingcheng, Bai Ye went back to her dormitory, grabbed her books, and left.

Bai Ye walked while looking at her phone.

This is quite common on campus; everyone keeps their heads down, are strangers to each other, and no one disturbs their own world.

Sometimes, a month of communication in university doesn't equal as much as a single evening study session in high school.

There are countless walls separating people, and while Bai Ye felt lonely, she also felt fortunate.

Abandoning useless social interactions will make you feel relaxed, both physically and mentally. All you need to do is accept and enjoy solitude.

It sounds so easy, but very few people can actually do it.

Since he couldn't manage to stay awake all night, he occasionally had to rely on cigarettes to relieve his loneliness.

When I arrived at the teaching building, I ran into several classmates.

There was no intention to greet them. Even though we'd known each other for a year, we hadn't really interacted, so there was no need to do anything unnecessary.

But then, an unexpected task came up and Bai Ye struck up a conversation with him.

"Hey Bai Ye, isn't there a girl named Luo Qingyan in your class?"

Bai Ye was taken aback, wondering why he was asking this.

The other person was a boy in his class who liked playing games; I think his name was Qian Yu.

Bai Ye was somewhat wary, after all, it concerned Luo Qingyan.

"What's wrong?"

Qian Yu hesitated, clearly finding it difficult to speak, and asked, "Do you... have her contact information? As their teaching assistant, you should have it, right?"

Bai Ye understood; this job was aimed at Luo Qingyan.

It's obvious he's interested in Luo Qingyan and wants to get her contact information from him so he can... pursue her!

Bai Ye's pupils narrowed, and his heart sank.

Luo Qingyan is so beautiful and has such a good personality, she's sure to have a lot of suitors once she enters university.

I never expected that there would be one in my own class who would set her sights on him.

Looking at the blond-haired classmate in front of him, Bai Ye recalled the person's information in his mind.

He's 20 years old, with dyed blond hair. He's flirted with quite a few girls during PE class and I've heard he's had quite a few relationships. Whether he's a jerk or not is another matter, but he's definitely not a good person.

Bai Ye simply couldn't imagine what it would be like if this kind of person managed to win over Luo Qingyan.

So it's impossible, we absolutely cannot let this guy have any connection with Qingyan.

Bai Ye's heart was suddenly filled with the fighting spirit to protect Luo Qingyan.

What a joke! Qingyan is so cute and pretty, this kind of person is not good enough for her at all.

Bai Ye declined, saying, "No, I'm not very familiar with the people in the class. I'm just a teaching assistant to inform them of some information. After all, it's not appropriate for me to be a male teaching assistant when the whole class is full of girls."

Qian Yu was somewhat skeptical: "Really?"

"How about I treat you to dinner after this is done?"

Bai Ye's expression turned cold. Too lazy to pay him any more attention, she walked away, saying, "I have to go to class, please let me through."

"Hey, don't go yet..."

Qian Yu tried to say something, but Bai Ye walked quickly, taking two steps at a time. He understood that Bai Ye simply didn't want to tell him, and he wasn't a fool.

Qian Yu watched Bai Ye's departing figure with a sense of helplessness.

He can't force someone to talk if they don't want to. After all, university isn't about fighting and brawling; it's about interpersonal relationships and social graces.

Even if you have a problem with someone, you can't show it on your face; you still need to show basic courtesy.

He thought for a moment about how to get the woman's contact information.

He has given up on the path of white nights.

Although I don't know why they rejected me so decisively, it doesn't matter... a skilled hunter will always catch his prey in the most unimaginable way.
