Go to a hotel and book a room.

Since starting university, Li Qingshu has heard some things about this.

Legend has it that outside the school, there are hotels like Home Inn, 7 Days Inn, Hanting, and many other unnamed establishments, collectively known as "paolou" (literally "blockhouses"), where college student couples frequently frequent.

After hearing it many times, one naturally knows what the pillbox was used for.

Chu Yang asked her to bring her ID card, and she hadn't thought much of it at first, but now that she was full, she suddenly remembered.

Suddenly I felt nervous and apprehensive, with anticipation mixed with a bit of resistance, resistance mixed with a bit of unease, and unease mixed with a bit of longing.

If it was just the intimacy in the ginkgo forest, she would indeed find it unforgettable.

But this is a hotel, so it means you're completely letting loose and giving yourself away.

Is it really possible? Do we really have to do this?

Chu Yang was unaware of the turmoil in the young lady's mind at that moment; he only felt her body tremble and her expression turn strange.

“Not to a hotel,” he said.

Li Qingshu's tense nerves immediately relaxed.

“Hotels are too low-class. We’re going to a high-end hotel, at least a presidential suite, otherwise it would be too hasty,” Chu Yang said again.

Li Qingshu tensed up again.

Seeing her like this, Chu Yang couldn't help but tease her, "Don't worry, we'll just sit together on the balcony of the room until dawn."

Li Qingshu was startled, her beautiful eyes widening: "Do it, do it until dawn?"

Chu Yang knew she understood correctly, and winked at her: "Yeah, so, aren't you looking forward to it?"

"..." The young lady was completely at a loss for how to respond.

I wanted to go but was also a little hesitant. My instinct was that it would be too hasty to just hand myself over like that.

But seeing Chu Yang's enthusiastic expression, she didn't want to spoil his fun.

Actually, she herself had some thoughts about it.

Ultimately, reason prevailed: "How about we go to the ginkgo forest instead..."

Seeing her hesitant and uneasy expression, Chu Yang decided not to force her to go.

Ultimately, she was a well-bred young lady who had been influenced by traditional culture. Although she was full of curiosity and exploration in that area, she was still conservative at heart.

It seems we shouldn't rush things.

So she said softly, "Then let's not go. I'll take you shopping instead."

The young lady smiled easily, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm not ready yet."

"It's okay, I'll wait until you're ready."

"Okay, then, I'll go buy you some clothes later, okay?"

“Okay, I’ll buy it for you too, let’s see if we understand each other’s taste.”

"I won't lose to you, I'll definitely make you look handsome."

"I'm handsome enough already, if I get any more handsome I'll be unable to take off!"

"Pfft... Shameless!"

"..."

More than an hour later, the two walked into the school carrying shopping bags.

The young lady was very happy because Chu Yang bought her a beautiful dress, which was her favorite style.

"But I can only wear it for you after military training," she said with some regret.

"Why? I can wear it after morning exercises." Chu Yang waved the shopping bag in his hand: "I'll wear the outfit you bought me after morning exercises tomorrow."

"Then you'll have to come find me, okay? Let me see you." The young lady looked expectant, then added, "I can't wear this. This dress needs to be paired with a certain skin tone. I've gotten tanned recently, so I'll have to wait until I'm fairer before I can wear it."

"If you're this dark and you still call yourself dark-skinned, then I'd be an African prince," Chu Yang laughed.

The young lady smiled gently: "It's okay for boys to be a little dark-skinned, especially someone as evenly dark-skinned as you."

Chu Yang tossed his head and said smugly, "That's right, I would take off my hat during breaks in military training to try to get a more even tan."

The young lady was amused by him and covered her mouth, laughing non-stop.

The two then passed by a ginkgo forest.

Then, without prior arrangement, they slowed their pace and exchanged a glance.

Well, we're on the same page now.

"We still have time, shall we go inside?"

The young lady lowered her head and murmured softly, "...Mmm."

At ten o'clock, in the same spot in the ginkgo forest, the two sat on a flat rock, their figures well concealed by the surrounding vegetation.

...

Chu Yang escorted the young lady back to her dormitory.

As I walked back to the South Campus, still savoring the memories, I received a call from Shen Li.

"Chu Yang, someone gave me a lot of snacks, and even some soy milk. Should I eat it?"

Chu Yang was taken aback: "Who sent it?"

"It's that guy from this morning, the one who gave me the milk powder, his name is Shao Long," Shen Li said.

So it was this guy. Looks like he's launching an offensive. He even knows Little Pear likes to drink soy milk.

"Besides snacks and soy milk, what else is there?"

"A bouquet of roses, two movie tickets for tomorrow night, and a card that says 'See you at the dormitory building at 8 pm tomorrow night.'"

"Oh, don't eat it. Leave it for now, I'll return it to him tomorrow."

"But I'm a little hungry."

"Wait a minute, I'll buy you some food and bring it to your dorm building in a bit."

"OK!"
