When Xiao Shuihan entered university, the first person who left a deep impression on him was the girl who picked him up.
The weather in September was far from cool; the scorching sun made the asphalt road steam with heat.
Xiao Shuihan carried a bag and pulled a suitcase as she walked on the surface. Even through the soles of her shoes, it felt like walking on a metal plate. Her short-sleeved shirt was soaked with sweat, sticking to her body.
He glanced at the electronic map on his phone and murmured to himself that he was almost there.
This year, the school has a special plan. To avoid an excessive flow of new students and potential accidents, parents and vehicles from outside the school are prohibited from entering the school.
Senior students from the previous year will help you move your luggage one-on-one.
Xiao Shuihan didn't have much luggage, only one suitcase was relatively heavy, so she only needed a hand to help her upstairs.
So he arranged to meet the sophomore student, whose gender he didn't know, downstairs at the dormitory.
His dormitory was room 619 in building 6. As he got closer to building 6, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Is the student who picked him up really reliable?
This activity is supposedly credit-earning, and he watched as the upperclassmen who were picking people up at the school gate all had smiles on their faces and provided excellent service.
As for him, from the time he added that second-year student of unknown gender two days before the start of the semester until now, the total number of exchanges, including the system's message "You and the other party have become new friends and can chat," has not exceeded five sentences.
The other person's nickname is "".
Just by looking at the nickname, he could imagine that the other person was most likely a quiet, dull, and uninteresting person.
Otherwise, why would he choose such a crude nickname, unlike his nickname which is "Sunset in the Deep Mountains and Autumn Rain"?
Taken from Nalan Rongruo's "Butterfly Loves Flowers - Leaving the Frontier," the preceding line is "How deep is this lingering affection?"
It perfectly matches his affectionate, refined, and charming personality.
Well... his second brother actually gave him this name; he's not that well-educated.
He stopped in front of Building 6 and opened the chat panel to send a message to a friend whose nickname was ".".
【I have arrived】
He wanted to politely address her as "senior" or "senior sister," but he didn't even know her gender or name.
He swiped his finger across the screen to review their brief chat history.
Hello, I'm the one who's picking you up. Please tell me your arrival date, specific time, and dormitory room number.
He: [September 15th, 4:00 PM, Room 6-619. Since I don't have much luggage, please wait for me downstairs at the dormitory building. You don't need to come to the school gate.]
. :【Um】
He was about to ask the other person's name and gender when the other person's online status immediately showed as offline.
And this offline status has remained unchanged until now.
His timing was quite convenient; he was supposed to enter the school at 4:00 PM, but it would take him more than 20 minutes to walk to Building 6.
Because he came in early, the time is now exactly 15:58.
Xiao Shuihan looked at the other party's status as still offline and grumbled inwardly.
This person is so unreliable. It's already this late and he's not online yet. Is he planning to log on right at 4:00 PM?
He hates people who stand him up. He plans to wait a maximum of ten minutes, and if there's no reply, he'll just delete the person and ask someone else to help carry his luggage upstairs.
The blazing sun was intense and blinding, so Xiao Shuihan raised his hand to shield his forehead.
He was so handsome and charming that he attracted countless glances on his way here, but he didn't want to get a tan while waiting for an unreliable person.
Just then, a message popped up on the chat page.
[Selfie, I'm looking for you]
Xiao Shuihan's face darkened. Did he still need to search?
Wherever he stands, that place becomes a scenic view; why would he need to resort to selfies to attract attention?
He wanted to say: The one that looks best is the best.
But seeing the precise online time displayed on the screen, and to prevent the other person from being blinded by infatuation, he still aimed at the camera and snapped a picture.
He has a handsome face and a noble temperament. Even if it's just a close-up shot, he is still stunning at first glance.
But the clueless "." replied with an OK gesture in a second, seemingly unmoved by his stunning good looks.
At this moment, the image of this "." in Xiao Shuihan's mind was that of someone with a bird's nest on their head, a vacant stare, or someone like his older brother whose face was full of abnormality.
When a beautiful girl appeared in front of Xiao Shuihan, he was instinctively stunned.
They say clothes make the man, but the girl in front of him was only wearing a simple white T-shirt and straight-leg jeans, yet she was still so beautiful that he was slightly mesmerized.
She was truly... graceful and beautiful.
But the next second, he suddenly snapped back to reality and exclaimed, "Oh no! My suitcase!"
The girl grabbed his suitcase and headed straight for the boys' dormitory.
Building 6 is occupied entirely by new students. There was no access control today, and there were upperclassmen helping the new students move their luggage everywhere.
The girl looked slender, but she walked very fast.
Xiao Shuihan caught up with her, and even though his hands, which were gripping the handle, were very handsome, his inherent manners still made him place his hand on his own suitcase.
"Excuse me, this is my suitcase, are you...?"
The girl's clear, beautiful eyes stared at her, her voice cool yet pleasant: "Sunset in the deep mountains, autumn rain?"
Xiao Shuihan was taken aback, "You are..." (period?)
His appearance left him speechless, and his name made it difficult for him to comment.
Before he could react, the girl was already walking briskly down the stairs with her cool, aloof steps.
"Um... senior, please slow down and wait for me."
Upon their first meeting, his consistently aloof persona was already showing signs of crumbling.
"Senior, this box is heavy, let's carry it together..."
The girl, who had already bent down and picked up the suitcase, shook it as if to feel its weight, then without saying a word, picked up the suitcase and went upstairs.
