"Yeah, what's wrong?" Zhou Muhe was also startled by the cold words, and the quail egg he was holding fell back into the bowl.
"Do any of you have names like Liu Ze, Chu Yue, or Zhou Zhou?" Leng Yu's tone was clearly tense.
"You knew us before? These three are us." Zhou Muhe pointed to the three boys sitting next to him.
Leng Yu and Fang Xiyue broke out in a cold sweat. Wait, what's going on? Are they dreaming?
Leng Yu looked at Fang Xiyue, and Fang Xiyue looked at her as well. The thought that crossed both of their minds was, "Is the apocalypse really coming?" Both of them couldn't help but shudder.
"What's wrong? Are you cold?" Su Zheyu saw Fang Xiyue shiver and quickly put the coat that was on the chair on her shoulders.
"No, it's just that it feels pretty unbelievable."
Fang Xiyue hesitated for a moment, then found the chapter about Zhou Mu and the others in her novel on her phone and handed it to Su Zheyu.
"This is a novel I wrote. I never imagined that you guys actually exist in real life, and that you are actually friends. It's unbelievable."
Fang Xiyue didn't think her novel was bad. It was fine to show it to them, and no one would take it personally. They just found it unbelievable!
"Yes, yes, I can testify that Yueyue chose these names herself. We didn't know you at all before this."
Leng Yu handed the novel pages to Zhou Mu and the others, her expression a little strange.
Zhou Muhe: "You mean the names of the characters in the novel were all made up by you, but you didn't expect that we actually exist? Doesn't that mean we might actually be characters in the book?"
Liu Ze: "This is a post-apocalyptic novel. Are we really going to face the end of the world?"
Everyone's expressions were rather unpleasant. They had come to eat happily, and now they were being told that the apocalypse might be coming? Could they very well be characters from Fang Xiyue's novel?
Zhou Zhou: "Don't scare yourselves, everyone. Maybe they've heard of our names but forgot them, and they just subconsciously used them when creating characters for novels."
"Our Soochow University's most handsome guy is so famous on campus, it's not impossible that people are talking about him outside."
Zhou Zhou was quite rational; he didn't believe in any doomsday prophecies, that it was just people scaring themselves.
"That's right, everyone, don't be nervous. There won't be an apocalypse. This is all just my imagination. Don't worry, this is the name. If you mind, I'll change it when I get back."
Fang Xiyue felt that Zhou Zhou's words made sense, and she quickly reassured everyone. She couldn't let herself cause panic; how could the apocalypse come so easily?
"No need to change it. It's quite unusual for our names to appear in a novel. Let me look for them."
Everyone thought it was impossible, so the matter was considered closed. However, they did become interested in the novel and started looking for it on their phones, which increased Fang Xiyue's reading volume.
Seeing that no one thought much of it, Fang Xiyue glanced at Su Zheyu, who was still reading a novel and had already started reading the next chapter.
"Hey, stop looking and let's eat."
Fang Xiyue was so embarrassed that she scratched her toes on the ground. The book described Fang Xiyue and Su Zheyu as soulmates who fell in love at first sight. Ahhhh, it's too ridiculous!
"We're a married couple in the book? Should we make it a reality?"
Su Zheyu returned the phone to Fang Xiyue. He had already noted down the title of the novel and planned to read it in its entirety when he had time back home.
"What? Make it real? You must be kidding me. We've only just met. Don't tell me you had a crush on me before."
Fang Xiyue felt something was wrong. She and Su Zheyu didn't know each other before, and it was a bit strange that they started dating on the very first day they met.
Unless they knew each other before, but Fang Xiyue really didn't remember having any interaction with them before, and she didn't think she had done anything to make Su Zheyu like her.
"No, but I do have feelings for you. My heart is pounding because of you. I think that's what liking someone is."
Su Zheyu pointed to his heart and said "Oh" to Fang Xiyue. The two spoke in low voices, so no one else heard them.
Fang Xiyue blushed and unconsciously chewed on the cuttlefish ball in her mouth. "Don't you think this is too hasty?"
"Since you think it's too hasty, how about I start pursuing you from this moment on? We can get to know each other slowly, and I'll wait for the day you say yes."
Su Zheyu looked at Fang Xiyue with deep affection, making Fang Xiyue feel that he truly loved her deeply.
"good."
Although she didn't know how things had developed to this point, Fang Xiyue genuinely didn't dislike Su Zheyu.
She's a little confused now about whether she likes the Su Zheyu she created or the real Su Zheyu; she's worried that she's confusing the two.
She had to figure it out, otherwise it would be too unfair to Su Zheyu in real life. So they decided to start as friends and get to know each other first, and deal with the rest later.
"Tomorrow, our school and your school will have our last friendly basketball game for seniors. Will you come cheer me on?"
Su Zheyu looked at Fang Xiyue expectantly. He needed to show off his charm to increase his chances of winning.
"Okay." Fang Xiyue didn't know how to refuse. Going to watch a basketball game wasn't out of the question. She would go to watch games every year anyway, mainly to find material for her novel.
Zhou Mu also mentioned the basketball game to them, and Leng Yu said that they absolutely had to go, as it was the last activity before starting their internship and would be quite memorable.
After they left the rice noodle shop, Fang Xiyue and Leng Yu headed towards Xingcheng University, while Su Zheyu stood there watching their backs.
"If the moon hasn't risen yet..."
Su Zheyu's phone rang, and he took it out and answered it directly, "Hey, Brother Xiao, I've met a girl who makes my heart flutter."
Do you remember what that old fortune teller said? It was actually true; my heart was pounding wildly when I saw her.
"You'll see if what the old Taoist priest said is true once you meet her. She's coming to watch my basketball game tomorrow, do you want to come?"
Su Zheyu's tone was extremely excited; he was in an exceptionally good mood.
“I’m currently abroad and can’t get back in time. Your second brother is on vacation and should have time to go. Ask the others in the group chat to see if they can go.”
"Okay, I'll go ask them."
Su Zheyu expressed his regret, but he also knew that his older brother did not believe what the old Taoist priest said at all, so he would definitely not take the matter to heart.
After hanging up the phone, Su Zheyu followed Zhou Mu and the others, and also sent a message in the group chat.
[Brothers, the girl who makes my heart flutter has appeared! There's a basketball game tomorrow morning at 9 AM on the north playground of Xingchen University, and she'll be there to watch!]
Whether they come or not is their business; I've already encountered this opportunity, so I'm definitely going to seize it.
