The Yellow Millet Dream

Huang Yaya felt like she was having a good dream that night, but was unfortunately woken up by a phone call.

She hung up the damn voice call and saw the message Liu Fangyu sent him:

Liu: Good morning, Mr. Huang!

Liu: Are you awake? I’m buying breakfast. Do you need me to buy one for you?

Liu: It’s ten o’clock, aren’t you awake yet?

Liu: I went to the milk tea shop to buy milk tea!

Liu: Which building is your dormitory in? I'll bring you some milk tea!

Liu: [The other party has rejected]

Liu: Sorry to wake you up. There was a discount at the milk tea shop near the school recently, so I bought a few extra cups. I’ll send them to you now!

OMG, this guy is so enthusiastic! And what college student would get up at 8 o'clock if he doesn't have classes? Huang Yaya saw that he started sending messages at 8 o'clock and continued until 11 o'clock. Even if she was as hard-hearted as a rock, she couldn't refuse! So she replied:

Huang: I’m so sorry, I just woke up and I’m in Building 14.

Liu: Okay, I'll be right over. It's quite cold outside. I'll message you when I get downstairs. You can come down then! Remember to wear something warm. [Smile]

Huang Yaya was beginning to wonder, how come this man was even more enthusiastic than the neighborhood committee lady?

Naturally, she would not wait for the other party to reach the dormitory building before going down. Instead, she put on her big black cotton-padded jacket, wrapped a brown plaid scarf around her neck, and walked out of the dormitory wearing big cotton slippers that looked very warm.

When she reached the stairs at the dormitory building entrance, she saw a boy in a brown coat walking towards her with his hands full of things.

Huang Yaya wasn't sure she was Liu Fangyu, after all, they had only met once. She took out her phone and swiped the screen, pretending to be busy. When the other person walked up to her, she raised her head, smiled and greeted, "Good afternoon!"

"Good afternoon! Didn't we agree that you would wait for me to arrive before coming down?" the boy answered enthusiastically.

"I just came down too."

The boy handed Huang Yaya everything he had in his hand, including milk tea and cake. He said, "This cake was recommended by the girls in our class. They said it's very delicious. You should try it first."

Before Huang Yaya could speak, he added: "I bought too much milk tea, you can share it with your roommates, go up quickly, don't catch a cold!"

Huang Yaya was a little overwhelmed by the sudden feeding and care. She asked, "How much is this? I'll transfer it to you."

"No, no, just consider it my apology. You go up quickly. I'm leaving first." Liu Fangyu waved to Huang Yaya and left.

She had no choice but to carry a bunch of things back to the dormitory. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xu Meng, who was half asleep and holding a piece of toilet paper in her hand. She glanced at Huang Yaya and walked into the bathroom without looking back.

Huang Yaya shouted in the dormitory: "Sisters, do you want milk tea?"

After hearing this, a resounding voice came from the toilet: "Drink."

Shi Jiaojiao got out of bed and walked over to her. She took the item from her hand and asked with a smile, "Could this be bought by that male classmate yesterday?"

Hearing this, Huang Yaya couldn't hold it anymore. Did Shi Jiaojiao peek at her chat history? Ning Yuanyuan replied on the bed at this time: "I don't drink!"

Shi Jiaojiao continued, "I guessed right, he likes you and wants to pursue you!"

Xu Meng's tone was very certain, and he echoed: "One hundred percent yes!"

"It's definitely not that he likes me, but he just wants to apologize. I'll transfer the money to him later, and consider the milk tea as my treat for you guys."

Shi Jiaojiao picked up a cup of milk tea and said with a smile, "I bet he won't accept it."

Even squatting in the toilet couldn't stop Xu Meng from talking. She echoed loudly, "I bet he won't accept it, too."

If he doesn't accept it, she can find a way to make him accept it. Huang Yaya said very firmly: "If he accepts it, you will clean the dormitory for me for half a month."

"Okay." Shi Jiaojiao and Xu Meng replied in unison.

Huang Yaya opened her chat history and began her journey of forcing others to pay:

Huang: Hello, have you arrived at the dormitory?

Liu: No, my roommate and I were about to take a taxi to go to the city center.

Huang: OK, how much is the milk tea and cake in total? I’ll transfer it to you.

Liu: You don’t have to transfer money to me, this is my apology.

Huang: That was a small matter yesterday. You bought so many things, so it must have cost a lot of money. I will transfer it to you.

Liu: Really not.

Since a hard approach doesn't work, she adopts a roundabout strategy.

Huang: I made a bet with my roommate. If you don’t want to collect it, I will have to clean the dormitory for a month. Please!

Liu: Okay! I’ll send you a screenshot of the payment!

Fuck, it's 88 yuan in total, and the milk tea costs 60 yuan. Didn't they say the milk tea shop was having a promotion? Huang Yaya transferred the huge amount of 88 yuan with tears in her eyes, and then proudly posted a screenshot of the other party receiving the payment in the dormitory group, saying distressedly: "Look, he took the money. I treated you to milk tea. Remember to clean up!"

"Bring me a cup, I want to drink!" Ning Yuanyuan said as she looked at the screenshot of the transfer on her phone.

"No, this man has no principles." Shi Jiaojiao sighed.

After a while, Huang Yaya received another message from Liu Fangyu:

Liu: How about I treat you to dinner tonight? What do you like to eat?

Huang Yaya began to doubt it. She thought this guy might be pursuing her, but why did he like her? They had only just met yesterday! She replied:

Huang: No thanks.

Liu: Okay, are you taking the train tomorrow?

Huang: Yeah.

Liu: What time is it?

Huang: At two o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu: Yeah, where are you from?

Huang: From Shuinan.

Liu: Oh, Shuinan is a very good place. I’m from Shanbei.

Huang: It’s so far!

Liu: Not bad! I'm going to eat later, so I won't talk for now.

Huang: Okay.

Liu: [Smile]

I don't know when Xu Meng came out of the bathroom. She was drinking milk tea while looking at her phone screen, shaking her head and jokingly saying, "Yaya, the peach blossoms are blooming!"

She didn't know whether the peach blossoms were in bloom or not, she just felt that Xu Meng's butt was about to bloom. She slapped Xu Meng's butt and teased her, "Why are you squatting for so long? Are you constipated?"

"Sigh." Ning Yuanyuan and Shi Jiaojiao held back their laughter.

In the afternoon, Shi Jiaojiao's boyfriend came to pick her up, and in the evening, Xu Meng also went to catch the train with a big suitcase. Suddenly, only she and Ning Yuanyuan were left in the dormitory.

"Let's go eat together?" Ning Yuanyuan said after glancing at her phone.

"good."

The two of them came to the cafeteria where there were only two windows left, one selling rice and the other selling spicy hot pot.

There were only a few dishes left at the rice window, and all they saw were leftovers, so they decisively chose malatang.

When it was time to pay, Ning Yuanyuan stopped Huang Yaya and said, "You buy me milk tea, and I'll buy you dinner."

Seeing that she couldn’t compete with Ning Yuanyuan, Huang Yaya regretted choosing so many dishes.

On the way back to the dormitory, Ning Yuanyuan sighed, "Holiday is coming so soon!"

"yes!"

"I don't want to go home!"

Hearing Ning Yuanyuan say this, Huang Yaya asked with concern: "Yuanyuan, what's wrong?"

Huang Yaya shook her head, her face somewhat bitter as she said, "Nothing, it's so cold outside, let's go back to the dormitory!"
