"Lao Bei, why don't you buy it yourself?"
After slurping up the milk tea Lu Yibei had treated him to, Liu Jie asked, "Are you really broke? Let me tell you, dating is actually quite expensive..."
"Drink yours."
Lu Yibei glanced at him sideways. This guy seems quite experienced when he's rambling on, but he's never even held a girl's hand before?
He's different.
Not only have we held hands, but we do it frequently.
Lu Yibei added, "I have to go out for a bit later, so I won't have dinner. I'll have the milk tea later."
Liu Jie asked curiously, "What's up?"
“You don’t want to hear this,” Lu Yibei said.
"Go ahead and say it," Liu Jie said nonchalantly.
"Having dinner with my girlfriend," Lu Yibei said casually.
"...cough, cough cough."
Liu Jie choked on his milk tea.
No, how come he tasted dog food in this perfectly good cup of mango pomelo sago?
"Want to keep listening?" Lu Yibei asked, glancing sideways.
"...Is there more to this story?"
Liu Jie took two deep breaths, composed himself, and calmed his breathing. "Come on, I can't scare him," he thought. "Speak!"
“She invited me,” Lu Yibei said.
"…puff!!"
Liu Jie was utterly devastated, and he was furious: "Where did you get such a wonderful girlfriend—?"
Lu Yibei raised his eyebrows.
Liu Jie could see a hint of smugness on his handsome face, and he couldn't stand it any longer: "Fatty, you hold Lao Bei down for me, I'm going to give him a good beating!"
Fatty Hao didn't make a move; instead, he walked over and put his arm around Liu Jie's shoulder.
"Brother Jie, you need to solve this problem at its root."
"How so?"
"Listen to me, this is it. You confess your love to Chen Dan today, get your marriage certificate tomorrow, consummate your marriage the day after, and ten months later, bring out two kids. Your drifting overtaking maneuvers on the drainage ditch will make Lao Bei envious..."
Upon hearing what Fatty Hao said, Liu Jie couldn't help but look down at his crotch.
Oh, so it's based on this principle, right?
Liu Jie's face turned red. He was about to shout that he and Chen Dan were completely innocent and had no relationship whatsoever when Lu Yibei, who was walking ahead, caught the eye of someone he met.
School just let out, and the bubble tea shop was quite crowded.
Lao Bei is well-liked, so it's perfectly normal to run into a dozen or so acquaintances when you go out to buy milk tea.
But Liu Jie found it a bit strange.
He felt like he had seen this dark-faced man somewhere before.
Lu Yibei knew Chen Wei, but they had only met twice in total.
One time was during military training when I competed with Monkey King.
The other time was during the military training parade.
Chen Wei and Ji Qingqian were both model students who took the lead in their class, and Lu Yibei had taken a picture of them.
As for Chen Wei, he had a deep impression of Lu Yibei.
However, the memories Lu Yibei gave him were always connected to another person—Ji Qingqian.
Chen Wei had never been in a relationship from childhood until he went to university.
But he admitted that when he introduced himself in the first class meeting after the start of the semester, the cool and aloof girl's simple words, "Ji Qingqian, the Ji of the four seasons," touched his heartstrings.
She possessed a cool and confident demeanor that other girls lacked; she was the most eye-catching light in the entire class.
Chen Wei wasn't the only one attracted to Ji Qingqian... and it wasn't just the students in their class who were drawn to her.
Students from other classes and grades flocked to the girl, asking for her contact information and using all sorts of ways to curry favor, offering her milk tea and snacks.
Ji Qingqian's attitude remained firm.
--No.
Compared to her gaze, her words were extremely polite.
The sharp look in her eyes when she rejected someone was as if she had the word "get lost" etched on their forehead.
Some even described her as an "iceberg," but Chen Wei was still attracted by her charm.
His roommate had repeatedly egged him on to try and win over Ji Qingqian.
However, Chen Wei remained unmoved. He was self-aware enough to know that no one else could move Ji Qingqian, and that she wouldn't change because of him.
Fortunately, he and Ji Qingqian were in the same class.
Although university classmates are not as close as they were in high school, they still have to attend classes together, so they have more opportunities to see each other than those in other classes.
Even if it's not about having the advantage of proximity, it could at least allow Chen Wei to create some opportunities for contact.
Four years of university is a long time. Even if you subtract the year for an internship, there are still three years left... You can always find an opportunity.
Chen Wei once had such fantasies.
But his fantasy was shattered by a punch when the military training was only halfway through.
That person was Lu Yibei.
Chen Wei, who had defeated Instructor Monkey in a wrestling match, felt he was the most imposing boy in the world.
He also found a suitable opportunity to give the rest reward to the girl in his heart.
After being rejected, Chen Wei was indeed a little dejected, but he wasn't too upset.
After all, all the boys who fawn over Ji Qingqian fall for this.
He just needs to keep trying.
Then, Lu Yibei said no, you don't need to keep trying.
There is no harm without comparison.
Chen Wei realized for the first time just how destructive those words were.
The girl, as cold and aloof as a snow-capped mountain, accepted Senior Lu's kindness and thanked him personally...
The difference between how she treated him and how she treated him is like night and day.
In Chen Wei's dream, he shouldn't be in Chen Wei's position; he should be Lu Yibei.
But Chen Wei is just Chen Wei.
"What's wrong?"
After Lu Yibei asked with a smile, Chen Wei realized that he had been staring at this senior for too long and had been discovered.
He quickly shook his head, suppressing the inexplicable desolation that welled up when he saw his senior.
