"Senior! Have I kept you waiting long?" The girl chuckled, having naturally witnessed Bai Ye's infatuated expression just now.
Looks like Xiaobaizi really likes my outfit! Hehe!
"Not long ago, I just arrived too!" Bai Ye said calmly.
The person who pretended to lose his composure just now was not him at all.
The girl covered her mouth and chuckled, "Then let's go, senior!"
Bai Ye felt that something was not quite right.
Bai Ye asked in confusion, "Why do you call me that?"
The term "senpai" is primarily used in Japan; who in China would use it casually?
The girl said innocently, "Can't I call you that? I feel like 'senior' sounds better than 'senior'!"
"Whatever makes you happy!"
Bai Ye remained silent for a while and then said, "Never mind. It's their freedom to call me whatever they want, as long as they don't do it in public."
Bai Ye led the way, with Luo Qingyan following behind.
But the further they walked, the more something felt off. A faint fragrance grew closer and closer, and Bai Ye realized that he was less than 5cm away from Luo Qingyan, almost touching her.
You know, people who stand this close are usually couples.
Bai Ye quickly created some distance between them.
Luo Qingyan narrowed her eyes and took a light step, closing the distance between them again.
Bai Ye moved away again, and Luo Qingyan followed, until she was almost stepping into the flower bed where there was no way to avoid it before she gave up the idea of moving away.
"Senior, do you usually play games?" Luo Qingyan turned her beautiful eyes to Bai Ye, her eyes full of inquiry.
Bai Ye casually replied, "Let's play!"
"So what do you usually do for fun, senior?" A glint of light flashed in Luo Qingyan's eyes.
Bai Ye hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ape God, Player, and the like."
"Senior, the player's rank must be very high, right?"
"Thank goodness!" Bai Ye's expression froze.
Good grief, I can't even climb the ranks, I can only play casual matches normally.
"Could you mentor me, senior?" Luo Qingyan looked at Bai Ye with hopeful eyes.
Seeing the girl's expression, Bai Ye couldn't bear to refuse: "Of course... of course!"
"Thank you, senior! You're so kind!" Luo Qingyan praised, blinking her cute big eyes with long eyelashes that made her look especially beautiful.
Bai Ye forced herself to look away, but she couldn't help but steal glances.
Having a beautiful female student can be a problem!
Bai Ye led Luo Qingyan to the West Gate, and the two chatted idly along the way.
It was mostly Luo Qingyan who started things; Bai Ye was a quiet person who didn't know how to talk, and he was even more at a loss for words when facing girls.
Luo Qingyan thought to herself: As expected of Xiaobaizi! He's not good at talking, but that's just right, so he won't flirt with other girls.
Here, Luo Qingyan's gaze towards Bai Ye softened even more.
"This is the shop. Go and see if there's anything you want to buy. I'll wait for you outside!"
"Okay! Thank you, senior!" Luo Qingyan walked into the shop with cheerful steps.
She was in a good mood, pondering how to confront him.
Hmph, you say you'll be brothers for life even if we don't add each other on WeChat? Who wants to be brothers with you?
She felt somewhat dissatisfied when she thought about Bai Ye's past remarks.
Bai Ye was scrolling through videos outside, but his thoughts were wandering far away, filled with images of Luo Qingyan.
To be honest, Bai Ye really had a feast today. He saw many beautiful women in real life that he usually only sees in videos.
Of course, most of the time Bai Ye is a shut-in who doesn't go out and socialize much during his freshman year because his social circle is small.
Soon, Luo Qingyan came out, carrying a small bag with many things inside. Bai Ye noticed that she looked like she was struggling to carry it.
"I'll take it!" He quickly took the bag from the girl's hand, but accidentally grabbed her delicate hand.
Luo Qingyan trembled, and Bai Ye quickly let go, picking up the bag.
Very embarrassed: "I'm...sorry! I wasn't paying attention!"
"It's alright! Thank you, senior." Luo Qingyan's face was slightly flushed.
This was the first time she had ever touched a man's hand other than her father's.
Before she could even properly feel it, Bai Ye let go of her hand.
"The drink inside was for you, senior." The girl smoothed her hair, pretending to be nonchalant.
"Ah! But..." Bai Ye was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"I'm troubling you so much today, senior, please don't refuse!" The girl smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling.
"Love O2O" is probably like this, and Bai Ye was once again captivated by it.
The girl happily revealed her crescent moons and waved her hand in front of Bai Ye's eyes: "Senior, snap out of it!"
Bai Ye awkwardly touched his nose, somewhat at a loss.
The girl took out a grapefruit-flavored alien electrolyte drink from the bag and gave it to Bai Ye, but Bai Ye had difficulty opening it while holding the bag in one hand.
The girl twisted the bottle cap open forcefully and pointed the opening at Bai Ye.
"Senior! Want some?" The girl was eager to try, indicating that she wanted to feed Bai Ye.
"I can do it myself." Bai Ye tried to take the drink, but the girl dodged him.
The girl pressed the bottle opening against Bai Ye's lips.
"Open your mouth!" Bai Ye opened his mouth subconsciously.
The girl tilted her drink, and the liquid spilled into Bai Ye's mouth.
Putting down the drink: "Is it good, senior?"
"Hmm!" Bai Ye didn't know what to say, her face just turning red.
"Hehe! As long as it tastes good!" Luo Qingyan acted as if she hadn't noticed Bai Ye's blushing face.
A middle-aged couple passing by witnessed the scene. The older woman couldn't help but exclaim, "Young couple, their relationship is so sweet!"
Old man: "Yes! Youth is so wonderful!"
Luo Qingyan chuckled, "Thank you, Auntie, Uncle!"
Luo Qingyan showed no objection whatsoever, and her favorability towards the couple instantly increased.
"Auntie, Uncle, you've misunderstood. She and I aren't..." Bai Ye tried to explain urgently, but was interrupted by his aunt.
"Young man, the girl has already openly admitted it, so what are you shy about? Dating isn't something shameful, so what's there to hide?" the aunt lectured.
"I..." Bai Ye opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
After a while, the couple left, and Bai Ye looked like he was questioning the meaning of life.
Luo Qingyan was secretly laughing the whole time.
Bai Ye glanced at Luo Qingyan, and the girl immediately suppressed her smile.
Bai Ye sighed helplessly: "Sigh!"
He reached out to tap the girl, but quickly stopped in mid-air, realizing that their relationship was merely that of senior and junior, and they weren't particularly close. Making such a gesture would be impolite.
Luo Qingyan tiptoed, closed her eyes, and touched Bai Ye's hand, which was about to strike her.
Bai Ye was stunned; he never expected the girl to do such a thing.
"Ouch, that hurts, senior!" The girl lowered her head, looking as if she had just been hit.
Bai Ye's lips twitched. "I didn't hit you at all. You only touched me. How could it hurt? If you're going to act, at least make it believable."
Bai Ye looked at the girl, who was saying she was in pain but was actually covering her mouth and chuckling, and didn't know what to say.
The two walked towards the dormitory, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, but Luo Qingyan was still very lively, skipping and jumping around in a good mood.
Their relationship grew rapidly, and the girl acted like she knew him well, now even calling him Senior Bai Ye.
They say it sounds better this way.
Bai Ye didn't refute her and just let her be.
They escorted the girl to the dormitory building.
"Senior, I'm leaving now! See you tomorrow!" The girl took the bag, and for some reason, she held Bai Ye's hand tightly, letting go with some reluctance.
"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Bai Ye said expressionlessly.
It's not that he's aloof, but rather that he's become numb.
The girl was very lively, but he didn't dislike her; on the contrary, he found her very interesting.
I rubbed my temples in frustration and walked back to my dorm room.
