"Actually, it's quite easy to guess."
Lu Yibei rested his elbows on the chair armrests and his palms on his cheeks, looking somewhat lazy as he waited for the IV drip to finish.
Ma Jiaojiao and Wang Jue both said that when they returned to their dormitory, the room temperature felt very hot.
Chu Chu was already asleep at that time.
That leaves only two possibilities.
Chu Chu turned the temperature up to the highest setting before falling asleep, and then accidentally pressed the air conditioner remote control after falling asleep, turning it up unintentionally.
If it's the latter reason, then Sister Chu should have clarified it when Ma Jiaojiao mentioned it before.
The girl, however, only talked about other things.
In addition, she was the only one in the dormitory earlier last night.
Lu Yibei yawned casually:
"'Enjoying it alone' doesn't mean you have to turn the temperature up so high, otherwise it's torture instead of enjoyment. It's true that the rule in our school's dorms is to pay the electricity bill together, but they don't have to stay in a stuffy cage with the heating on full blast... you're the only one suffering."
As he spoke, Lu Yibei raised his eyebrows again, forcing a smile:
"...and getting sick."
Unexpectedly, her entire plan was exposed.
Chu Chu's already feverish face became even hotter.
In an attempt to save face, she muttered:
"At least it shows that reading detective novels really can make you smarter... it's not something only idiots would think."
After chuckling, Lu Yibei looked serious.
"Is it possible that I'm just naturally smart?"
Chu Chu:…
Just when she was speechless and wanted to throw out the word "narcissistic".
Lu Yibei delivered another heavy blow to her:
"There's no need to get so worked up if you're alone in the dorm... a lot of people don't have partners."
Chu Chu:! !
Unexpectedly, not only was their "method of committing the crime" exposed, but their "motive" was also completely revealed.
Chu Chu was both embarrassed and angry:
"Wow--"
"Quiet, we're at the hospital."
“…”
Chu Chu quickly shut up.
There weren't many people in the infusion room, but she glanced around and still spotted a few patients who were drowsy.
Both spellcasting attempts today were interrupted.
Moreover, they were interrupted one after the other by the two people who were a couple.
Chu Chu felt as if she had been punched hard, and she puffed up her cheeks under her mask like a bun in frustration and anger.
Although he couldn't see Chu Laomei's expression, Lu Yibei still noticed that the mask on her cheeks was slightly bulging like a balloon.
He thought for a moment, then gently comforted her:
"But it's rare for everyone in a dorm to have a partner, except for one person. At least for your dorm, you are the most special."
"What a wonderful thing this is!"
Lu Yibei smiled faintly, a slight upward curve to the corners of his lips.
"No, if it were good news, would I be telling you?"
Chu Chu:…
"Why don't you reflect on your actions?" Lu Yibei said again.
Chu Chu's spirits had indeed improved considerably, and under these circumstances, she even had the strength to fight back:
"Heh, I just simply don't want to find someone. Otherwise... heh, I could find someone in no time. Like that friend of yours last time..."
That concludes the discussion.
Chu Chu immediately shut up.
He was mentally recovered, but his reactions were still a bit slow.
She only realized after she said it that since she had already rejected him, continuing to talk about him behind his back was tantamount to making fun of him—doing such an immoral thing would be punished by heaven.
But the moral bottom line of this seemingly idle and lazy senior, Lu, was beyond Chu Chu's imagination.
He smiled:
"Hiroko probably hasn't completely given up on you yet. Should I talk to him and ask him to pursue you one more time?"
Chu Chu looked disgusted: "...Down there."
"don't want?"
"don't want."
Faced with Chu Laomei's unhesitating answer, Lu Yibei yawned, then turned on the screen again, intending to continue "The Prime Minister's Kidnapping Case".
"They don't want to find a partner, and they even complain about being single... It's getting harder and harder to guess what kids are thinking these days."
Chu Chu disliked it even more.
When Senior Lu said those old-fashioned things, did he not consider that he was actually only a year or two older than him?
Chu Chu gave a heavy snort, her eyes narrowed, trying to show that she was even more wicked:
"I simply don't like them~ My standards are very high~ I can't stand ordinary nobodys."
"...Oh, you mean that kind of bad woman who only admires the strong, right?"
“That’s right~” Chu Chu raised her chin proudly.
Lu Yibei lazily flipped through the book, not even wanting to lift his eyelids. He said indifferently:
"Then you shouldn't have done that."
Chu Chu: "...What do you mean?"
“You should tell Chen Guang, ‘I’m too busy with university studies, so I don’t want to date you, but I’m willing to try getting to know you.’ Then, while you’re looking for someone better, you can also play around with Chen Guang and say things like, ‘Wow, look how amazing other people’s boyfriends are,’ or ‘I want to eat ice cream today.’ This way, it won’t stop you from finding someone better, and Guangzi will appreciate that you’ve given him a chance to pursue you, so you won’t feel empty, lonely, or sick in your free time.”
After Lu Yibei finished speaking, he waited for Chu Chu's reply.
No, there isn't.
He looked up in confusion, glancing to his side, initially assuming the girl was feeling unwell again. However, he was surprised to see her looking at him with a terrified expression.
"That's too cruel... How heartbroken will Chen Guang be when I find someone better..."
Lu Yibei was taken aback.
He originally intended it as a joke to her, something for her to complain about.
I never expected that Chu Chu would actually take it to heart.
Does empathy increase when you're sick?
Lu Yibei chuckled softly:
"You want to be a bad woman, right? This is what a bad woman is like."
Chu Chu was stunned again.
She quickly realized that this senior student, Lu, was even more skilled at being a "bad woman" than she was.
Chu Chu gritted his teeth.
“But you said you have high standards… right?” Lu Yibei asked again.
"That's right!"
“I heard from Qingqian that a certain demanding person wanted a senior to help carry their luggage when school started, and then took the opportunity to ask for the senior’s WeChat, but a fellow villager who came with them beat them to it, and they’re still upset about it…” Lu Yibei said.
Chu Chu's eyes widened, her already large, watery eyes becoming even rounder, and her pupils trembled slightly.
If he was originally just angry and embarrassed, now he's more like exasperated.
"How could Ji Qingqian tell you all this!"
"nonsense."
Lu Yibei smiled smugly: "She's my girlfriend, not yours. Why can't you tell me?"
As he spoke, this "senior" lightly touched his chin, then glanced at the darkened screen: "Looks like I'm not bad looking~"
If he could, Chu Chu would love to punch this smug senior twice.
