Chu Chu hugged her pillow and asked softly:
"You didn't just let me come back on my own, did you...? That's so inhumane..."
At that time, she was so clueless that she probably couldn't even figure out how many points the river in Jiangda had.
Wang Jue then said, "Senior Chen Dan brought you back...you were almost asleep by then."
Chu Chu thought back for a moment.
But there is still no corresponding memory.
"...Sister Dan is really loyal, I have to thank her."
Chu Chu was moved: "Completely different from you bunch of beasts who have no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex... Wait a minute, didn't she come with that... Senior Lu's roommate? Weren't they celebrating New Year's Eve together?"
Wang Jue was not familiar with Chen Dan and Liu Jie at all.
She looked at Ji Qingqian.
Ji Qingqian: ...
Yes…
She had originally suggested that Hao Zhangwen watch over Abei first, while she made a trip to send Chu Chu back, and then come back to keep vigil for Abei.
But Chen Dan simply said, quite naturally, "I'll take her back, you guys have fun."
Because it was so natural, Ji Qingqian only realized this now.
Um... Abei's roommate and Chen Dan are quite close, they should go out and have fun together after dinner...
Ji Qingqian gave Chu Chu a deep look.
Chu Chu was startled:
"Won't I be held a grudge by Senior Chen Dan or that other senior...?"
…
"Lao~~Bei~~~You're back~~"
Liu Jie turned back from outside the dormitory: "Oh, I came back to get a textbook, I forgot to bring it..."
As he spoke, he glanced again at the silent Lu Yibei and the half-awake Zhao Xun.
He immediately accused one finger.
"Lao Bei! This guy actually went out overnight with Xiao Ma yesterday, and damn it, they went to an internet cafe! It's hilarious, what kind of blockhead is this—"
Zhao Xun had a headache. He looked up and asked, puzzled:
"...Where did that dog barking come from?"
Liu Jie: ...
Knowing he couldn't win an argument with Sun'er, he said to Lu Yibei, "Teach him a lesson."
"Education my ass," Lu Yibei said.
After Gangsun'er regained some consciousness, she told him the whole story of why she went to the internet cafe.
Frankly speaking, in Lu Yibei's view, this is the logical development.
If Xiao Ma and Sun'er were to fall in love and end up in some romantic setting, Lu Yibei would suspect that the timeline might have changed.
But even if it's just going to an internet cafe.
For Xiao Ma, it may just be a small step.
But for Sun'er, it's a truly remarkable step forward.
People's physical constitutions are different from each other, and regardless of what Sun'er thinks now, even if they are mutually in love, the course of history must be taken into account.
"...And you?" Lu Yibei asked Liu Jie.
Liu Jie asked, puzzled: "Me?"
"Where did you two go yesterday, Chen Dan and I?" Lu Yibei asked.
He remained a corpse for quite a while yesterday, so he didn't see many things.
Liu Jie replied matter-of-factly, "Go back to the dorm and sleep."
Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment, then fell silent, followed by a long silence.
To put it bluntly, he didn't say a single word.
He stared into Jie's eyes, then suddenly smiled. He glanced at Hao Zhangwen, but still pointed at Liu Jie:
"Holy crap, this idiot..."
"Hey, wait a minute."
Liu Jie quickly said, "I can explain."
Lu Yibei said calmly, "Then switch to manual labor as soon as possible."
"I asked Chen Dan if she wanted to celebrate the New Year at the lakeside or Wulin Square, but she refused."
Liu Jie said, "She said it's better to focus on the exam before the test, as the round trip will take a long time, and I might not even be able to get back to the dorm by then. I'll be too exhausted to study today. Besides, she's not interested in New Year's Eve or anything like that... I thought about it and she was right. Then when I got back to the dorm, she told me to go to bed early. I sent her 'Happy New Year' yesterday, and she only replied this morning. She even scolded me and asked why I went to bed so late."
Lu Yibei: ...
Liu Jie shrugged: "You really can't say I'm a bot, can you?"
Lu Yibei: ...
That's really not possible.
To be honest, when he invited Chen Dan to dinner, he really wanted to give Brother Jie a chance to spend New Year's Eve with her.
but…
How should I put it?
For many people, New Year's Eve may be nothing special, but being with someone you like adds a special layer of meaning.
Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian are like this.
Chen Wei and Wang Jue are like this.
Perhaps Sun'er and Xiao Ma are the same.
But Chen Dan didn't seem to see it that way; her special significance might lie more in helping Liu Jie pass the exam…
But then again...
If Lu Yibei were Liu Jie, he might have been able to use coquetry, sweet words, or some other means to please Chen Dan and get her to spend New Year's Eve with him.
But this was not Chen Dan's original intention.
If Zhao Xun were Liu Jie, after receiving Chen Dan's answer, "I don't want to go," he would agree with her opinion and then go back to his dormitory to sleep.
But he still had some inner conflict.
Only Liu Jie, facing the utterly unromantic Chen Dan, would say something with complete peace of mind:
"I've thought about it, and that makes sense. So I'll do as you say."
Lu Yibei then realized that he had invited Chen Dan to dinner.
Chen Dan didn't come here because she wanted to spend New Year's Eve with Jie Ge.
It was simply a matter of giving Lu Yibei face.
People really do have different ways of getting along.
Liu Jie's slowness, lack of romance, clumsiness, inability to use sweet words, yet ability to understand Chen Dan, are what Chen Dan considers the best.
