It's like a beautiful girl in the center of a booth celebrating her birthday, with a group of young men and women around her raising their glasses in a toast.
In the corner of the booth, Xie Yunkai, dressed in a white shirt, stood out from the group of laughing people with a detached expression.
"Pear, I don't know if I've mistaken someone for someone else, but look, isn't that the school heartthrob you mentioned?"
Qin Chu, as Ye Li's best friend, knew the whole story of how Ye Li changed dorm rooms.
I'm even more familiar with Lu Xiaoxiao now.
One was a poor but handsome school boy.
One is an equally outstanding childhood sweetheart.
For Qin Chu, who doesn't believe love will come to her but is willing to see others find love, it feels especially wonderful.
Desperate to see just how handsome the school heartthrob was, Qin Chu scrolled through Ye Li's WeChat Moments and came across a group photo posted by Lu Xiaoxiao.
It was just a fleeting glance back then, so long ago that Qin Chu couldn't even remember what the most handsome guy at Imperial University looked like.
But when Qin Chu saw that photo on his WeChat Moments, he was momentarily dazed.
For some reason, I felt it was him.
Subsequently, Ye Li confirmed this.
It was him.
After moving into the Starry Sky Apartment, Xie Yunkai became a frequent visitor.
Even in dim light, she wouldn't mistake that face.
Ye Li stared at that photo for a long time.
Qin Chu on the other end seemed to remain silent for a long time as well.
Then, she sent a WeChat message: "Sure enough, people do change!"
The group of men and women in the photo are all spoiled young ladies from wealthy families in the capital.
Given Xie Yunkai's social circle, it would be impossible for him to get to know any of these people.
There's only one possibility: he was brought to the birthday party as a friend of one of the people there.
Ye Li zoomed in on the photo and looked at Xie Yunkai's side.
While they were wishing the birthday person a happy birthday, the girl next to Xie Yunkai turned her head and looked at Xie Yunkai.
A profile view; it's impossible to tell who it is.
Judging from their posture, the girl's attitude, and the curve of her lips, it's not hard to tell that she likes him.
After a long silence, Ye Li dialed Lu Xiaoxiao's number.
"Good morning, dear Pear..."
Early in the morning, Lu Xiaoxiao was as cheerful as ever. "Why did you call me at this hour? Is something wrong?"
"Of course something's wrong."
Ye Li laughed and said, "Didn't I tell you before that you'd come to my house on New Year's Eve? I just wanted to confirm with you beforehand that you and Xie Yun are having a meeting, right? If it's confirmed, my mom is ready to show off her skills."
Lu Xiaoxiao was very interested, but she was also afraid of causing trouble for Ye Li, so she asked cautiously, "Won't it be too much trouble?"
Ye Li smiled, "Of course it's no trouble, it's just a matter of adding two pairs of chopsticks."
"Okay, then we'll definitely go!"
Lu Xiaoxiao's voice was brimming with exuberance.
They chatted about whether they had eaten breakfast that morning.
They chatted about what they'd been busy with lately.
Hearing Lu Xiaoxiao say that she spent all her time with Xie Yunkai except for her part-time job, Ye Li took the opportunity to ask about last night.
“Yun Kai said last night that it was a senior female student in his lab’s birthday party, and they went to a bar together.”
Lu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "It was past 1 a.m. when it ended. He has a physics tutoring class at 9 a.m. this morning. Sigh, I feel sorry for him!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, feeding people dog food so early in the morning, it's simply outrageous!"
Ignoring the vague, inexplicable emotion in her heart, Ye Li jokingly said, "Then you go ahead and get busy, see you on New Year's Eve!"
See you on New Year's Eve! Pear, love you!
After hanging up the phone, Ye Li stood by the roadside watching the people coming and going in the square, and sighed inwardly.
