Qi Wei's home was quite far from the school, so Yao Beibei didn't ask her parents to send her there, but came here by herself.
She felt that she was already mature, and that university was relatively safe. She could find various guides online, so she wouldn't run into any problems.
Her parents couldn't persuade her, so they finally agreed to let her come alone.
Unfortunately, the day she reported happened to be the day when the school was most short of volunteers, and she couldn't just stop a busy volunteer, so she could only wait by the side.
Just at this time her mother called her and asked if her report was successful, so Yao Beibei started chatting with her.
When she answered the phone with her mother, she spoke in her hometown dialect. Everyone around her was busy dealing with their own affairs, and no one paid attention to her.
But after she hung up the phone, she found a boy standing next to her and asked her if she was from somewhere.
The place the boy said was Yao Beibei's hometown.
After hearing this, the boy smiled and excitedly said that they were from the same hometown. He then asked what year Yao Beibei was in high school. When he found out that they both graduated from the same high school, the boy directly added her contact information and said that he could contact her if he had any questions about school in the future. He then took her to register and ran around for her for a long time.
She mentioned that it was her senior who helped her carry her luggage on the first day of school. Lin Xi thought about it and actually had no impression of him, because she and Yao Beibei did not report on the same day.
But she was more interested.
"He has always cared about you. I haven't seen him since I started military training."
This concern is completely formal and just verbal.
Even during the hottest and most tiring period of military training, he never came to bring Yao Beibei a bottle of water or anything.
Especially when Yao Beibei fainted due to exhaustion during military training.
According to her, she and the senior had been in contact all the time. The other party should know that she fainted during military training. At this time, even as an acquaintance, he would politely come to express his condolences.
Yao Beibei immediately explained, "My senior was very busy at the time. He was doing an experiment with a professor and couldn't spare much time. Besides, I'm fine. I just took a nap."
Yao Beibei is very considerate of others.
Seeing this, Lin Xi said no more, "I'm not sure about temples that offer marriage prayers, but I think sincerity is the key. If you truly love each other, you'll eventually find your true love."
I'm afraid that the other party might have the same idea as Yao Beibei.
Yao Beibei didn't understand the hidden meaning of Lin Xi's words. She thanked Lin Xi with some disappointment and decided to ask someone else.
Seeing that she didn't seem to hear him, Lin Xi just shook his head slightly.
Everything was peaceful for the next few weeks. Lin Xi would go back to the Feng Shui shop as usual on weekends to help people solve problems, and then come back on Sunday nights.
My roommates now have their own pace of life. Except for those who are more home-bound and lazy, the rest of us only hang out together during class, and after class we all go about our own business.
Among those who are more homebound, there are Lin Xi and Xu Jing.
Xu Jing bought a computer last week, and every day after class she would go straight to the dormitory to start tinkering with it.
She drew a curtain over her bed so no one could see what she was doing on her computer.
As for Lin Xi, he stayed at home in his dormitory, eating, watching videos, and leading a decadent yet comfortable life.
Until one day, when the two of them were spending their days in the dormitory in dejection, someone suddenly came in from outside.
Xu Jing poked her head out from behind the bed curtains and saw that the person coming was Yao Beibei, so she greeted her.
"Here I am."
Yao Beibei didn't know what had happened, she was in a very good mood, her face flushed, and she nodded happily.
"Yes, I'm here!"
"You look so happy, did you pick up some money?"
Xu Jing made a joke.
Yao Beibei blushed and shook her head.
"No, it's me. I'm in love."
Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Congratulations, can you tell us when it happened and who the other party is?"
Yao Beibei thought that her roommates would definitely know about it in the future, so she didn't hide it.
"It's a senior of mine. He confessed his love to me the other day."
"Wow, how did he express his love? Is it romantic?"
Although Xu Jing seemed mature and steady at first, she couldn't help but gossip when she heard about her love life.
Yao Beibei nodded, with a dreamy expression on her face.
"He asked me to meet him at Xiaonan Lake and personally gave me a heart-shaped leaf. He had picked up that leaf when he first met me. He said that leaf might have symbolized our relationship."
Xu Jing was very excited and asked hurriedly: "Then what?"
According to the progression of romance novels, what should come next should be flowers, music, and passionate hugs, right?
But Yao Beibei said: "From now on we will be together."
Xu Jing: “?”
"Is that all he said? Nothing more?"
For example, "I love you, I like you, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I will wholeheartedly care for you and protect you." Although these are clichéd love words, they are indeed very touching.
Yao Beibei continued to shake her head, her tone still quite considerate: "No, the senior actually took some time out to come to me and confess his love, and then he continued to work in the lab."
Is it really like this?
Xu Jing was a little confused, and she asked Yao Beibei about her uncertainty.
"Did he say he likes you and loves you?"
Yao Beibei said shyly, "That heart-shaped leaf already expresses his feelings. It doesn't matter whether he says it or not."
Looking at Yao Beibei's sweet expression, Xu Jing fell silent.
She was afraid that Yao Beibei would not like what she said.
But she still wanted to say, is this really a confession?
Is her request too high, or is Yao Beibei's request too low? She didn't even say formally and directly that she likes you, but gave you a leaf and said it symbolizes their relationship. What's the difference between this and being ambiguous?
And if she's being frank, the leaf looked like it had been picked up not long ago.
But seeing Yao Beibei so happy, she didn't pour cold water on her.
The whole dormitory soon knew that Yao Beibei was in love.
She was a soft-hearted person and was reluctant to lie no matter what others asked her. So when they saw her shyly texting on her phone every day, the other roommates asked her about it out of curiosity.
In the end, Yao Beibei admitted that she was in love.
When the other roommates heard this, they immediately congratulated her, but Ren Yao suddenly said something.
"Haven't you and her only known each other for less than two months? How come you're together so soon?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone else in the dormitory turned to look at her.
It sounds like someone is saying that Yao Beibei is casual.
Ren Yao seemed to realize that what she had just said was not very similar, and hurriedly explained: "I, I don't mean anything else, it's just that the customs in our hometown are a little different. I'm used to it, and it took me a while to switch to it. I'm sorry, Beibei."
Since she had apologized like this, Yao Beibei couldn't say anything more. She just explained, "Actually, as long as two people have feelings for each other, how long they've known each other is not a problem at all."
The others quickly agreed.
"Yeah, I've even seen people get married after just three days of knowing each other!"
"I can only say that love is something you can't control at all."
The group of people chatted and laughed, and quickly got over the little incident.
In the evening, Lin Xi washed up at the sink on the balcony of the dormitory.
There were two faucets on the washbasin in each dormitory. Lin Xi opened one, and someone soon opened the other one.
She closed her eyes and wiped her face with a washcloth, then she heard the person next to her say.
"Lin Xi, your hometown should be similar to mine, right? They're more conservative. They need to be together for at least a few months before they can confirm a relationship."
"Actually, I didn't mean to say that. I just felt that Beibei confirmed her relationship a little too quickly."
"That senior..."
Ren Yao was about to speak when Lin Xi suddenly interrupted her.
"If you're so curious about Yao Beibei, why don't you tell her in person?"
Ren Yao's expression froze.
Lin Xi smiled faintly: "I know, you definitely care about her, but what's the point of caring about someone behind their back? Only when she cares about you in person will she know your sincerity. Do you need me to call Yao Beibei out?"
Ren Yao's expression suddenly changed, and she said hurriedly, "Don't!"
"I was just saying it casually, I don't mean anything else. I'm going to bed first."
After saying this, Ren Yao quickly went to bed, as if she was afraid that Lin Xi would drag her to find Yao Beibei.
Lin Xi sighed lightly, feeling a little impatient.
She felt that she couldn't quite understand Ren Yao.
To be honest, Ren Yao said she had done nothing bad. Ever since she and Xu Jing inquired about her whereabouts at the dinner party at the beginning of the school year, she hadn't done anything. At most, she would occasionally take the opportunity to glance at her and observe what she was doing.
They were all under the same roof, and when Ren Yao glanced over, Lin Xi didn't tell whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally.
After all, it didn't bring any impact on her life, so she didn't bother to care.
Later, as college life got on track, everyone had their own rhythm and habits. Ren Yao spent less time in the dormitory, and Lin Xi could only see her during classes and sleep. He rarely saw Ren Yao at other times.
So she didn't care about Ren Yao anymore.
But she just likes to say something inappropriate from time to time, and then make a guilty and frightened expression, and then apologize first, making herself look pitiful.
Lin Xi also couldn't understand what her behavior was.
Deliberately trying to create a sense of presence?
Moreover, she had been secretly observing and sizing herself up before, and now it seemed like she wanted to win her over. It was impossible that she hadn't been sure whether she was qualified to be her friend before, right?
Lin Xi was speechless and laughed at his own guess.
But she knew very well that she and Ren Yao, who were so timid and neither frank in their words nor deeds, could ever be friends.
…
Yao Beibei had been in love for about half a month. That night, Yao Beibei suddenly came to her bed with an anxious look on her face.
At this time, there were only Lin Xi and Xu Jing in the dormitory.
Xu Jing glanced at her and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Yao Beibei wanted to subconsciously say that she didn't, but she didn't know what she remembered. She hesitated for a moment and finally asked Xu Jing.
"Xu Jing, do you have any money? Can you lend me some?"
