September 25th.
In just one more day, it will be the 26th, which may be the most important day in Lu Yibei's life.
The week-long drizzle has finally come to an end.
The rain has stopped.
This morning, it seemed as if the heavens were still trying to squeeze out some water.
In the afternoon, the sun, which had been hiding behind the clouds, finally peeked out, signaling that all the effort had been in vain.
The sun had only been out for a short while when Qingqian sent a message to Lu Yibei.
[Qingqian: I'm finally completely drained]
[Abei: ...]
[Qingqian: Can we say it tomorrow?]
[Abei: ...]
[Abei: Type the word completely!!]
The female knight-errant was as talkative as ever.
But she still sincerely prayed.
[Qingqian: I really, really hope we see the sun.]
[Abei: Yes]
Even though Lu Yibei's reply was so confident.
But his heart was still pounding. Would it really be that successful?
He had prepared all the contingency plans, but the closer it got, the more nervous he became.
I have a feeling that something unexpected and unpredictable might happen.
He opened his phone and checked the 24-hour weather forecast again.
No matter how you look at it, the interface displays a sunny day icon with the sun and indicates "Sunrise, 5:32"...
"call."
He leaned back, his entire weight pressing down on the back of the dormitory chair.
Fatty Hao went over to pour water and noticed that Lu Yibei seemed preoccupied.
He came over and patted him on the shoulder without saying a word, but it seemed like he was trying to comfort him.
Zhao Xun, who was squatting with her legs tucked in while looking at the computer, glanced back at him, then paused the video playback and asked with utmost seriousness:
"Will Laobei win?"
Lu Yibei: ...
He gave Zhao Xun the middle finger.
"No, what's going on with you guys?"
Liu Jie had just finished a game of PUBG and he poked his head out of his bed.
He had felt that the atmosphere in room 404 was a bit off for the past two days.
Their dormitory has always focused on physical exploration, with rolling as a secondary activity.
Previously, only Lu Yibei was required to type on the keyboard, while Fatty Hao and Sun'er would slack off as much as they wanted.
It can start from last week.
Liu Jie became the most out of place in the entire dormitory. The other three good guys seemed to have crammed everything into one period of time, so busy that they didn't even have time to play a game.
However, today, they have returned to a fairly relaxed state.
It was as if everything had come to an end.
Lu Yibei didn't answer. He took out his phone and glanced at the time. It was already the last class.
"I'm going out."
He grabbed his baseball cap, stood up, put his phone in his pocket, and then said to Liu Jie, who was blinking in confusion, "I'm not coming back to sleep tonight. Tomorrow... um, Jie-ge, I'll give you a surprise."
Liu Jie was overjoyed:
"Great! What a surprise! I love surprises!"
As for Zhao Xun and Hao Zhangwen, they nodded to Lu Yibei as if in unison, as if to encourage him.
After Lu Yibei left the dormitory, he quickly sent a message to Ji Qingqian.
[Abei: I've come to pick you up after class!]
He couldn't describe his feelings; it was as if he were going to war.
Ji Qingqian wasn't paying much attention in class; she replied in less than a minute.
[Qingqian: It's a bit early, you'll have to wait]
[Abei: It's nothing]
…
get out of class dismissed.
Ji Qingqian walked out of the classroom accompanied by her roommate.
She was wearing a white T-shirt and light blue jeans, a very simple outfit, but combined with her outstanding height and her slender oval face under her jet-black hair, even though there were a lot of students after class, Lu Yibei found her in the shortest amount of time.
The female warrior seemed to have not turned off auto-aiming, and instantly locked the boy's head.
Lu Yibei saw her whisper a few words to her roommates, then nod to them before walking towards him.
The female warrior was the most eye-catching one in the crowd.
Along this short stretch of road, Lu Yibei noticed that many people unconsciously glanced at her.
The female knight-errant Ji paid no attention to the gazes of others and walked straight toward him.
She pursed her lips slightly, and as she walked, she adjusted the elastic band of the baseball cap in her hand until it was at a suitable level.
She raised her delicate hand and placed the hat, the same style as Lu Yibei's, over her head.
At that moment, she happened to walk up to the boy.
She raised her clean, oval face and asked softly:
"Abei, have you been waiting for a long time?"
The soft whispers, the matching hats, the perfectly proportioned height difference when they stood together, and the light blue hair tie on the boy's wrist all seemed to tell the story of their relationship.
Many students who were interested in the girl sighed and shook their heads upon seeing this scene, then composed themselves and walked away.
"Just for a little while."
Lu Yibei's index finger and thumb were slightly separated.
In fact, it lasted for more than ten minutes.
Based on his understanding of Jiangnan University, he should have managed the time difference better.
Can…
He felt a strange unease in his dorm room, and all he wanted was to see the girl in front of him as soon as possible.
"Let's go then," the girl said.
"Is the bag heavy?" Lu Yibei asked.
He traveled light, carrying almost nothing.
But Ji Qingqian was carrying the white canvas backpack she had taken on the first day of school.
The backpack was quite large, but it was bulging at the moment, clearly indicating that it contained a lot of things.
