When Ye Qingcheng woke up in the morning, her head was a little dizzy. Fortunately, she didn't have any classes during the day, so she was able to rest properly. At noon, she went to the second floor of the cafeteria for lunch.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of someone; the man was queuing to buy milk tea and hadn't noticed her at first.
Ye Qingcheng watched Bai Ye's figure descend the stairs, the thousand words she wanted to say unspoken.
Although she was drunk yesterday, she still had some recollection of what happened. Bai Ye had rescued her and taken her to her dormitory.
She wanted to thank Bai Ye, but didn't know how to express it.
So I secretly added Bai Ye through the teaching assistant group, not knowing when Bai Ye would accept my request.
At the same time, I was thinking about how to thank him.
Meanwhile, Bai Ye went downstairs, handed her the milk tea, and waited for her while looking at her phone.
After she finished eating, I helped her up and left. When we got to the dormitory building, I reminded her: "Remember to apply some more safflower oil; it will help you recover faster."
Luo Qingyan said with a grin, "Okay! Arigato, senior!"
Looking at her lively demeanor, Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh at how wonderful youth is.
But then I thought about it and realized I wasn't that much older, yet I already seemed lifeless and no longer like a teenager.
After saying goodbye to her, Bai Ye planned to go out and take on a part-time job.
I encountered many young and beautiful girls in short skirts on the street, and my eyes couldn't help but follow them.
Those legs are so white, so thin and long, they seem longer than his lifeline.
Bai Ye casually glanced over, his old pervert nature fully on display. He looked, but only at the legs, not making eye contact or looking at the face, and he didn't feel ashamed at all.
After admiring the view, Bai Ye also went into the shop.
Angel Senior Sister couldn't come to her part-time job today because of something, so someone else filled in. She was a woman Bai Ye didn't know, and she was quite pretty.
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
After exchanging greetings, they went about their respective tasks.
Lin Xiaoshi looked at Bai Ye curiously, making Bai Ye blush, wondering what she wanted to do.
Lin Xiaoshi looked surprised, as if she had just recognized him: "You're Yao Xiaohua's ex-boyfriend, right?"
Bai Ye's expression calmed down: "You've mistaken me for someone else."
"Don't try to fool me, your photo has been posted on our school's confession wall."
Are you being polite? You know that, yet you look surprised?
Bai Ye couldn't figure out her thought process.
Lin Xiaoshi, with a gossipy look on her face, said, "Why did you two suddenly break up? I even bet two hundred yuan that you'd stay together!"
Bai Ye felt that this woman really lacked emotional intelligence. Bringing up old things was one thing, but deliberately picking on people's sore spots was another.
Should I tell you that I'm just a substitute? Or should I tell you that we're a fake couple?
Bai Ye stopped talking and focused on his work, ignoring the chattering woman.
The woman stopped talking when she saw that he was ignoring her.
When there were few orders, she would chat with her best friend while typing away in the distance.
Lin Xiaoshi: Guess who I ran into at work today? That school beauty Yao's simp.
Best friend: Really?
Lin Xiaoshi: He's so arrogant, acting all high and mighty. Anyone who didn't know better would think he's some big shot, but he's just a substitute!
Best friend: That's not a good way to put it!
Lin Xiaoshi: What's wrong with that? Everyone knows that Yao, the school beauty, likes Gu Yanzhi. She was rejected, and that's when this guy took advantage of her vulnerability!
Lin Xiaoshi: He was just a substitute. Now that Yao Xiaohua is tired of him and doesn't want to pay attention to him anymore, they broke up.
Best friend: I feel like they're really having a tough time.
Lin Xiaoshi: Yao, the school beauty, and Gu, the school hunk, are a perfect match and should be together. He is not good enough for the school beauty at all.
...
Bai Ye was making lemonade, completely unaware that the woman not far away was gossiping about him.
Even if they found out, what could they do? Just curse at them?
This is meaningless; it only provides a little verbal satisfaction. If you're not pushed to the limit, just bear with it and it will pass.
I can only hope that I won't be scheduled with her next time.
My first day missing my angelic senior!
I'm so sad I want to cry!
Finally, Bai Ye finished her workday, changed her clothes, and left immediately. It was very hot, and she was immediately enveloped by the blazing sun as soon as she stepped outside.
It inexplicably makes me want to eat watermelon.
There's a small supermarket near the school that sells watermelons, but they're expensive, the watermelons aren't sweet, and they often sell them stale ones.
Therefore, many people choose to walk a little further to buy fruit from a fruit shop on the next street.
There was a small shop nearby, so he bought a cup of instant noodles and some snacks, and then he planned to buy a watermelon.
The weather was over 30 degrees Celsius, so hot it felt like it was on fire. After finally arriving at the fruit shop, which had air conditioning, Bai Ye felt much cooler.
There weren't many people buying melons in the store at this time. Just as Bai Ye was about to go to the freezer to buy some, he saw a familiar figure near the corner of the pillar.
Bai Ye was somewhat stunned.
He never expected to run into her here.
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yao Yuyan was also somewhat surprised to meet Bai Ye here.
She spoke first: "Long time no see!"
It would be very impolite to ignore him, so Bai Ye said, "Long time no see."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and no one spoke another word.
Bai Ye broke the silence first: "Are you here to buy watermelons?"
"Hmm! You too?"
"Um!"
Then silence fell again.
Bai Ye didn't know what to say, or rather, he had nothing left to say to her.
The initial frenzy and excitement are gone; all that remains now is a sense of calm and estrangement.
Yao Yuyan saw the contents of the bag in Bai Ye's hand and said, "Instant noodles aren't very healthy, eat less of them."
Bai Ye nodded: "Mm!"
If it were in the past, she would have been extremely excited, acting as if she cared about me.
Now: You're right, but I just love eating instant noodles.
"You choose first."
Bai Ye didn't plan to stay here long. He told her to choose first, and then he would choose, and they would leave quickly after they finished.
"I want to buy half of that. Do you want the other half?" Yao Yuyan asked nervously, her hands clasped behind her back.
She also knew that Bai Ye's relationship with her roommate was just so-so, so it wasn't realistic for her to buy a melon to share. Therefore, it was impossible for her to buy a melon, since she couldn't possibly finish it anyway.
"Okay!" Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.
After the shop manager cut the food, Yao Yuyan paid first. Bai Ye was about to transfer money to her, but she refused, saying it was her treat.
Since the shop is located between the two schools, and the two people are not from the same school, there is no possibility that they are going in the same direction.
Bai Ye was about to say goodbye and leave.
Yao Yuyan hesitated for a moment before speaking: "A new shop has opened on the street, would you like to try it?"
She wanted to ease the tension between the two of them.
Bai Ye paused slightly, his back to her.
"No, I have something to do today."
Since you've broken up, there's no need to have any further involvement.
Bai Ye didn't turn around to look at her; he simply waved goodbye.
Yao Yuyan was slightly taken aback, and her eyes turned a little red for some reason.
He never seemed to refuse me before!
As she watched Bai Ye's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Yao Yuyan felt a slight, almost imperceptible ripple in her heart.
A message came through my phone; it was from Bai Ye.
Yao Yuyan hurriedly clicked on it and saw a transfer and a message.
Bai Ye: He has a basketball game at 5 PM this afternoon and needs a beautiful woman to cheer him on. Don't miss it! Good luck!
Yao Yuyan's eyes involuntarily welled up with tears, blurring Bai Ye's silhouette.
Bai Ye's smile echoed in my mind.
