The next day was class, so Lu Qing rested for a while before washing up and going to bed, ignoring the waves of messages popping up in her private messages.
The next morning, when she opened her phone, the message screen showed 99+ messages.
Many people wanted her to tell their fortunes, but Lu Qing ignored them.
There are so many people in the world; if she were to count them one by one, she would have to uncover countless secrets of heaven.
The merits she has accumulated are probably not enough to offset what she has done wrong.
When everyone else's fate is settled, hers will be over too.
After the National Day holiday, classes gradually increased, and sometimes I couldn't even go back to the dormitory for a whole day.
But for Lu Qing, such days were exceptionally comfortable.
After a full day of classes, as I left the teaching building in the sunset, everything around me seemed to become very peaceful.
Lu Qing and the others were walking back to their dormitory, discussing what to eat for dinner.
"I heard there's a new hot pot restaurant that opened near Xieqiao. Let's go try it tonight! I heard they also have fried bullfrogs!" Leng Wei suggested.
“Okay! Qingqing, are you going?” Cheng Yiyi asked.
Lu Qing nodded: "Go ahead! But we'll have to wait for Gu Xicheng, he'll be a little late!"
“Gu Xicheng really comes to see you every night, tsk~ I’m so envious!” Leng Wei said with a smile.
"What are you envious of! There are people waiting for someone downstairs in our dorm every day!" Yang Xiwen teased.
As they were talking, they arrived at the dormitory building, and the person she was talking about walked straight towards Leng Wei.
"Leng Wei, you're finally done with get out of class!"
This person was Tang Yu, the computer science student who accidentally bumped into Leng Wei before the holiday.
Ever since he found Leng Wei's student ID card that day, he has been squatting at the entrance of the dormitory building from time to time.
However, because it was a holiday, he did not see Leng Wei.
He finally saw her downstairs at the dormitory one day after the holiday.
On the surface, he came to return his student card, but anyone with eyes could see that Tang Yu liked Leng Wei—it was love at first sight.
However, Leng Wei still harbors a shadow in her heart because of what happened with Kou Chengxuan last time, so she has never accepted him.
So, Tang Yu persistently squatted at the dormitory entrance, delivering milk tea:
"Leng Wei, this is your milk tea, your favorite Longjing Jasmine Light Milk Tea, 30% sugar."
"I didn't know your roommates were here too, so I didn't buy anything for you. I'm so sorry!" Tang Yu apologized to the others as well.
Cheng Yiyi waved her hands repeatedly and said, "It's alright, it's alright! You don't need to worry about us!"
"Leng Wei, we'll go upstairs first, so as not to disturb you!"
After saying that, the four of them quickly ran away, afraid that staying even a second longer would delay their love talk.
Leng Wei glanced at Tang Yu somewhat embarrassedly.
To be honest, Tang Yu isn't exactly handsome, but he's the kind of person whose looks grow on you.
If it weren't for the psychological trauma left by Kou Chengxuan's affair, she might have actually given Tang Yu a try.
But now...
Leng Wei took a deep breath, looked up, and said earnestly to Tang Yu:
"I'm sorry! Thank you for your interest, but I don't plan to be in a relationship right now!"
Tang Yu: "Is it because of the boy who lied to you before?"
Leng Wei was somewhat surprised:
How did you know?
"I'm sorry! I asked your roommate about it. I didn't mean to pry into your privacy, I just wanted to know more about you." Tang Yu said apologetically.
"There's really no point in hiding this, but I'm still a little uncomfortable about it, so..."
Before Leng Wei could finish speaking, Tang Yu interrupted:
"I understand! You don't need to explain. Although this matter is in the past, you were involved, and I think you genuinely liked that man. No one would easily let go of something like this!"
What I want to tell you is, it's okay, I'm willing to wait for you, until you want to accept a new relationship, and you can turn around and see me.
Tang Yu handed the milk tea to Leng Wei, then turned and left.
Leng Wei wanted to return the milk tea to him, but he had already run far away.
Looking at the milk tea in her hand and thinking about what Tang Yu had said, it would be a lie to say she wasn't tempted at all.
Leng Wei walked back, somewhat absentmindedly, carrying the milk tea.
Upon entering the dormitory, everyone turned to look at her.
"Weiwei, I think Tang Yu is pretty good. When are you two going to make it official?" Cheng Yiyi asked with a smile.
Leng Wei shook her head and sighed:
"I'm not ready to officially accept him yet!"
"Weiwei, don't worry, he's not a spy. Judging from his appearance, he seems like a decent person!" Lu Qing reassured her.
“But now, the thought of dating makes me nervous, and I always think of Kou Chengxuan.” Leng Wei scratched her hair in frustration.
Lu Qing was also quite helpless about this.
She can tell fortunes and catch ghosts, but she can't heal hearts.
Leng Wei's problem stems from her heart; it needs time to heal.
"It's okay! Give yourself some time, you'll forget about it eventually!" Lu Qing said with a smile.
Leng Wei shook her head, banishing her worries:
"I don't want to think about it anymore! Weren't we going to eat hot pot? Has Gu Xicheng arrived yet?"
Lu Qing glanced at her phone:
"He's already on his way. If we go to the school gate now, we should be able to catch up."
"Let's go then! I'll bring Ruan Yinchen along too, you don't mind, do you?" Gu Fei asked with a smile.
"I don't mind, it's just another serving of dog food!"
The three single women quietly prepared dog bowls.
When they arrived at the school gate, Gu Xicheng and Ruan Yinchen had just arrived by car.
Gu Xicheng's face darkened as soon as he saw him, but seeing the smile on Gu Fei's face, he could only shut up.
Gu Fei sat in the passenger seat of Ruan Yinchen's car, Lu Qing sat in the passenger seat of Gu Xicheng's car, and the remaining three sat wherever they pleased.
On the way to the hot pot restaurant, Lu Qing asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Gu Xicheng, Ruan Yinchen is a good person, why do you look like you want to eat him up every time you see him?"
Gu Xicheng: "It's nothing, just an instinctive reaction, just like your brothers instinctively want to eat me."
Lu Qing: Uh... (lll￢w￢) I really don't understand.
The hot pot restaurant wasn't located in a bustling shopping mall area, but rather tucked away in the basement of a residential building; the place looked quite clean.
Their most popular dish, fried bullfrog, is served on almost every table.
To prove that the bullfrogs were safe, the owner placed a transparent fish tank at the entrance of the shop, filled with lively bullfrogs.
Lu Qing had only ever seen frogs and toads, never bullfrogs, so he made a special trip to see them.
The bullfrogs that weren't served were quite frightening.
"Oh dear!" Lu Qing exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Xicheng thought she was frightened, so he quickly went over to her:
"Qingqing, what's wrong?"
Lu Qing pointed at the bullfrogs: "It...they..."
Gu Xicheng couldn't help but chuckle: "It's alright! Don't be afraid! The jar is so deep, they can't jump out!"
"No! I meant their legs are so thick, they look so delicious!"
Seeing Lu Qing's mouth watering with desire, Gu Xicheng was both amused and exasperated.
He must be out of his mind to think Lu Qing is afraid of these bullfrogs!
"Alright, alright! Let's go in and order, or we won't get a seat."
Gu Xicheng pulled Lu Qing inside and found a spot facing the air conditioner to avoid getting too hot when the hot pot started cooking.
After everyone sat down, they realized that Cheng Yiyi hadn't followed.
"Where's Yiyi?" Lu Qing asked.
She looked around and finally saw Cheng Yiyi admiring the bullfrogs at the store entrance.
"Yiyi, stop looking, come and order!"
Cheng Yiyi did not respond, as if she hadn't heard.
Lu Qing could only walk over and pat her on the shoulder before she came to her senses.
"Yiyi, are bullfrogs really that beautiful? You're staring at them so intently!"
Cheng Yiyi nodded: "Qingqing, look, this bullfrog is really beautiful, with delicate features!"
"Have you been single for too long? How come you think bullfrogs are attractive?"
Lu Qing followed Cheng Yiyi's gaze and froze the next second.
