Bai Ye refused her request.
Bai Ye: No, I have a part-time job tomorrow.
Since you've already broken up, even if it was just a fake relationship, it's best to maintain a distance between each other.
Furthermore, Bai Ye himself isn't very interested in murder mystery games; at most, he's somewhat interested in horror games, but after playing them too many times, he really doesn't feel anything anymore.
She likes playing murder mystery games. It's said that her childhood sweetheart used to play with her often, and she gradually developed a liking for them too.
Bai Ye accompanied her time and time again only so that he could get closer to her; Bai Ye knew very well that he was just a backup option.
But he kept fantasizing that he could change her mind, only to end up being nothing more than a clown making people laugh.
Bai Ye was well aware of how some people viewed him: a simp, a backup option.
Even the ugly duckling dreams of becoming a swan; a simp who licks his boots eventually gets everything he wants.
However, this does not apply to him.
Yuyan: Okay.
The words were calm, and Bai Ye didn't say much.
I stared blankly at our chat history.
I clicked on the other person's Moments without even realizing it.
She is a cheerful girl who likes to post on her WeChat Moments.
Her most recent post on WeChat Moments was last night.
I wanted to play a murder mystery game, and we've got everyone together! So exciting!
Below is a picture of the new laptop and a selfie.
The woman in the photo was beautiful, and Bai Ye gave a self-deprecating smile.
It turns out they had already found someone. But that's good, at least things didn't just drift apart until they never crossed paths again.
The class was over, but Bai Ye had no idea what she had heard.
The next class was English, and Bai Ye packed up her things and headed to the next classroom.
...
Meanwhile, a girl in class at the neighboring school had a strange expression on her face.
Yao Yuyan felt a little down as she looked at the rejection message on the screen.
I sent messages to other people.
Yuyan: I'm not going today, someone has something come up.
Those who received the message expressed their understanding upon hearing that someone had something to do with it.
Yao Yuyan listened to the lecture, but her mood inexplicably became irritable.
She hadn't expected Bai Ye to reject him, so she had already included him in her calculations.
Subconsciously, she still regarded Bai Ye as someone she could easily dismiss.
This time, Bai Ye's answer left her somewhat at a loss.
But then I was drawn to a message from my best friend.
Gu Yanzhi has a basketball game tonight!
Gu Yanzhi was her childhood sweetheart and the unrequited love she pursued but never had.
It wouldn't be accurate to call it a secret crush, because everyone seemed to know that she liked Gu Yanzhi.
However, the woman was interested, but the man was not.
Yao Yuyan quickly inquired about the time and location of the competition.
Because the area is a university town, the basketball club occasionally organizes basketball matches between schools.
Gu Yanzhi was a member of the basketball club.
Her mind was filled with Gu Yanzhi's image, and her originally depressed mood suddenly improved. But the next second, Bai Ye's image kept flashing through her mind, and her expression became extremely complicated again.
Bai Ye liked her, and she knew it, but she never reciprocated his expectations. Pretending to be a couple with Bai Ye was just a way to spite Gu Yanzhi.
But in the end, she didn't know if she was really angry; instead, she just felt deflated.
She did want to spite Gu Yanzhi, but she shouldn't have used Bai Ye's feelings as a performance, so in the end she took the initiative to suggest breaking up.
Bai Ye isn't handsome; he's quite ordinary-looking, but he's a very kind person—gentle and caring.
She felt that such a good person shouldn't waste her energy on someone like her who already had a goal, otherwise she would only end up hurt.
After the breakup, Yao Yuyan had not contacted Bai Ye again. This sudden contact was actually because she wanted to apologize to Bai Ye properly.
So the idea of using a murder mystery game to get him to come out came up.
...
After class, Bai Ye was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
But the weather today is unpredictable; it was sunny in the morning but started to drizzle at noon.
Fortunately, the teaching building was not far from his dormitory. He carried the books on his head and braved the rain to return to his dormitory, planning to take an umbrella to the cafeteria for lunch.
After getting the umbrella, Bai Ye's phone rang.
It was Luo Qingyan's call.
Bai Ye was puzzled, wondering why his junior had called him.
"Hello"
Luo Qingyan's pitiful voice came through: "Senior, it's raining! I didn't bring an umbrella!"
Bai Ye was immediately alerted, only then remembering that his junior had sprained her ankle yesterday. After resting for a day, she could barely walk, but she would definitely have difficulty moving around for the next few days, and he was the culprit.
The image of my junior, pitifully limping to class alone, involuntarily came to mind.
He couldn't help but curse himself inwardly.
"Where are you? I'm coming right away."
After receiving the address, Bai Ye quickly opened his umbrella and rushed over.
Upon arriving at classroom 403, I spotted a pretty figure in the corner.
Luo Qingyan waved happily upon seeing Bai Ye, "Senior, I'm here!"
Bai Ye walked closer: "How's your foot?"
Feeling Bai Ye's care, Luo Qingyan felt a warmth in her heart.
"Mmm! Much better, I can walk now, just a little slowly!"
"Why didn't you ask for leave and rest in your dorm for a day?"
Seeing that she was about to get up, Bai Ye quickly went over to support her, afraid that she would fall.
"It was the first day of class, and I thought it wouldn't be good to ask for leave, so I didn't."
Luo Qingyan subconsciously leaned into Bai Ye's arms, her little head scooting closer.
Her little face was full of joy.
Bai Ye felt a soft jade embrace him, and his nose was enveloped by a delicate fragrance. He quickly pulled away a little.
Although Luo Qingyan disliked Bai Ye's actions, she didn't go any closer. Instead, she looked at him with a pitiful expression.
Luo Qingyan pouted softly, "Senior, carry me on your back!"
Bai Ye couldn't stand her gaze, especially since it was his fault that she had difficulty walking.
So he squatted down to let the other person come up.
And so, Luo Qingyan cheered and jumped for joy while holding the umbrella on Bai Ye's back.
The two chatted casually on the way.
"Senior, could you come with me to get my ID card tomorrow?" Luo Qingyan asked expectantly.
"Did you lose your ID card?"
"Yes, it suddenly disappeared when I was looking for it yesterday."
Bai Ye wanted to refuse immediately, but then he thought that if he let her go alone, he would feel uneasy because of her mobility issues, and he would feel guilty for the rest of his life if something happened to her.
"Okay, call me when the time comes."
Tomorrow is Saturday, a day off, so we just need to avoid his work hours.
Luo Qingyan squinted and began to think about how to have a romantic date with her senior tomorrow.
The story about losing her ID card was made up; her purpose was to lure Bai Ye out.
Only Bai Ye remained oblivious, foolishly taking it seriously.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Bai Ye put her down and told her to sit down and tell him what she wanted to eat, and he would go buy it for her.
"Can I have KFC?"
Bai Ye's lips twitched: "Where am I supposed to find KFC for you in the cafeteria?"
Luo Qingyan stuck out her little tongue mischievously and said, "Hehe, just kidding, I want to eat fruit salad!"
Bai Ye wondered if she had misheard and asked again, "Lunch? Fruit salad?"
Luo Qingyan said very seriously, "Yes, I've gained some weight recently, I need to lose weight."
Seeing her resolute expression, Bai Ye had no choice but to go along with her.
