"Senior Lu."
"Um."
"I feel that the world is very unfair."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
There's a fruit shop right outside the north gate of Jiangnan University.
The shops, which had been quiet during the winter break, returned to their bustling state after the students returned to school.
Moreover, because students receive a lot of lucky money during the Lunar New Year, it feels like the best-selling fruits in the store have risen sharply from common fruits like citrus to "luxury" fruits like cherries.
Lu Yibei watched as many of his classmates returned home laden with their prizes.
The person Lu Yibei was chatting with was Chu Chu, his girlfriend's roommate.
As for why this seemingly incongruous pair would walk together and chat alone,
That requires going back to an earlier point.
With nothing else to do, the 404 boy band organized the "0th Street Fighter Tournament" in their dormitory.
To put it simply, it's playing video games.
There are winners and losers, and there are bets.
The loser buys milk tea.
Lu Yibei felt he had the victory in his grasp, but he accidentally slipped up and lost the game by a narrow margin.
So I went to the milk tea shop near the North Gate.
As I passed by the fruit shop, I happened to see this little boy buying things.
She wanted to eat watermelon.
—This season, only greenhouse-grown melons are available.
The price was two or three times higher than in the summer, but she still wanted to eat it, so she chose one with a decent portion.
But her roommate asked her if she could bring back a pomelo, saying she wanted to eat one.
Holding a melon in the left hand and a pomelo in the right, this is something that Lady Ji or Little Ma could easily do in a minute, but Chu Chu, who calls herself a "delicate flower," can't do it.
It's not that I'm being dramatic, but the dorm is so far away, and just carrying a watermelon could kill Chu Chu, let alone anything else.
Fortunately, I met Lu Yibei.
"—Senior Lu, your wife wants to eat pomelos, can you help me take them back?" Chu Chu called out to Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei, carrying four cups of milk tea, exclaimed "Ah!", thought for a moment, took out his phone, and started sending messages.
Seeing this, Chu Chu pouted: "Ask Ji Qingqian?"
"Um."
"Don't you have any manly spirit? Why do you have to report everything to your wife? It's just helping me carry a pomelo," Chu Chu said.
She felt that Ji Qingqian couldn't be wary of her.
If she had been wary, she wouldn't have let Senior Lu accompany her alone to the school hospital for an IV drip.
Lu Yibei ignored him, staring at his phone for a while before sighing, "...So it's true."
Chu Chu:! !
"You think I'm lying!?"
So it turns out he wasn't afraid his girlfriend would be jealous, he just didn't trust himself at all!
Lu Yibei chuckled, making a little joke to tease Chu Chu.
The kid is quite loyal; I even brought him a small souvenir from Hong Kong. It's not valuable—of course, if it were valuable, Lu Yibei wouldn't dare accept it. It's just subway magnets, something characteristic of Hong Kong culture, and everyone in the 404 boy band got one, so it's quite thoughtful.
Since he was needed at this moment, and it was just a matter of carrying some things, he naturally agreed without hesitation!
Then Chu Chu watched as Lu, the senior who could dominate Hangzhou Dianzi University in basketball and was said to be able to suppress class monitor Chen Wei in a fight, casually picked up a pomelo that weighed less than two pounds with a carefree air, leaving her with a watermelon that weighed nearly ten pounds.
Chu Chu:......
You can do it!!
You came here to help, after all! I won't blame you since you even brought milk tea!
Chu Chu gritted his teeth, focused his energy in his dantian, and exerted his strength from the ground!
She wanted to pick up the big watermelon.
Lu Yibei smiled and put the pomelo he had picked up down again.
"Never mind, I'm afraid you'll fall."
Lu Yibei said, "It's okay if a person falls, but if a melon falls, it can't be eaten."
Honestly.
Chu Chu would fight Lu Yibei if she could beat him!
—A feeling so familiar.
—Chu Chu thought about it carefully and realized, damn it, she had felt the same way about Ji Qingqian before.
This couple is exactly alike when it comes to being infuriating!
Lu Yibei lifted the melon in his hand; it was quite heavy.
"You should have bought half."
"I want to eat it with a spoon," Chu Chu said.
“You can eat half of it,” Lu Yibei said.
“That way your girlfriend and the others won’t be able to eat it,” Chu Chu said.
Lu Yibei thought for a moment:
"That's true. If my roommate bought a melon but insisted on scooping it out with a spoon to share, I would also find it unappealing."
"Right, right?"
Chu Chu smiled smugly, never expecting to empathize with this Senior Lu one day. But then she realized what she meant: "...No, it's me who looks down on them!!"
"More or less," Lu Yibei said.
Chu Chu wanted to say that it was far inferior to that of the old ox-nose.
But once the words were on the tip of her tongue, she didn't want to dwell on the issue for too long.
"Speaking of roommates... Ma Jiaojiao is dating your roommate, right?" Chu Chu asked.
Lu Yibei was startled: "Didn't Xiao Ma tell you?"
"I told them," Chu Chu said.
And it wasn't just once, not just twice, it was said many times... It wasn't that Ma Jiaojiao was deliberately showing off, but that Chu Chu didn't want to believe it.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yibei fell silent for a moment, then looked at Chu Laomei with a complicated expression:
"It's true, she didn't lie to you. Face reality and accept this loss."
Chu Chu looked up at the sky, filled with worry:
"Senior Lu, I feel that this world is really unfair."
Let's go back to the topic we started with.
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
“Ma Jiaojiao is in a relationship, so your roommate will definitely call her Jiaojiao, right?” Chu Chu said.
Lu Yibei thought for a moment, realizing he'd never heard Sun'er call him that before. But if it was going to be a more intimate way of addressing him, he definitely would in the future.
"Just like how you sometimes call Ji Qingqian 'Qianqian,' or how our dorm and class monitor call Wang Jue 'Juejue,'" Chu Chu said.
In fact, Lu Yibei rarely called Ji Qingqian that, but occasionally when he was being affectionate, he would still call her that sweetly, and Ji Qingqian would jokingly call him "Beibei~~" in return.
Chu Chu's eyes were filled with sorrow: "And what about me?"
Isn't that simple?
Lu Yibei immediately replied, "It's Chuchu... no... Chuchu... um, Chuchu... eh?... uh."
"You see, the unfairness started from the very beginning of the naming process," Chu Chu sighed.
Lu Yibei gave Chu Laomei a deep look: "You still have to listen to her tone. Even if two words are the same, you can tell the difference..."
Unexpectedly, Lu Yibei's rare words of comfort only deepened Chu Chu's resentment:
"So, where can I find such a person?"
Lu Yibei: ...
Goodness, Sister Chu, your map of Yan is quite long.
After all that fuss, it seems like you're still just complaining about being single!
“If I really introduced you to someone, you wouldn’t want them,” Lu Yibei said.
