Lin Xiao waved his hand and swiped his card to buy Bai Youyou a large bag of almond crisps.
Watching the fairy-like junior sister hugging the almond crisps and stuffing them into her mouth one by one, eating them with great relish, Lin Xiao suddenly felt that the huge sum of one hundred yuan had not been wasted.
The two walked out of the dessert shop on the street corner.
Bai Youyou took out a black card from her beige bag and handed it to Lin Xiao.
"Take it and spend it," Bai Youyou said, a little nervous and shy.
Lin Xiao was taken aback, thinking to himself that this junior was really honest!
Can a mere hundred yuan worth of snacks really buy her the right to use a black card?
Wow, this is a black card! A black card that you can swipe anytime and it won't break!
This was the first time in his life he had ever seen a black card up close!
However, he cannot accept it.
If Old Man Bai finds out, he might try to recover the three million that was deposited into his account.
He can't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for a small gain!
There's no such thing as a free lunch; even if there were, he wouldn't dare take it!
He was afraid it was poisonous.
"It's on me, no charge," Lin Xiao said with a light laugh. After thinking for a moment, he added, "Don't give your black card to just anyone, understand?"
"Your dad's money is still money! Earning money is hard, so spend it wisely."
Bai Youyou gave a soft "oh" and put the black card away.
She thought for a moment, then took another almond crisp and held it to Lin Xiao's lips, "Here, have some."
Lin Xiao was stunned, staring blankly into the clear black eyes of his fairy-like junior.
Damn, what's with me getting a little flirty?
No, Lin Xiao, wake up! This is work, work!
He wanted to say, "I won't eat it."
But before he could even speak, a crisp, slightly sweet cookie was fed into his mouth.
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
He quickly followed suit and swallowed the biscuit.
"Hmm, it's not bad," he commented casually.
Bai Youyou handed over another piece: "Do you want another one?"
Lin Xiao stepped aside. "No, thank you. Junior, you can eat it yourself. I don't like sweets."
"But it's not sweet!" Bai Youyou frowned, seemingly puzzled.
Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow and quickly changed the subject.
He had no desire to discuss such childish topics with his fairy-like junior!
He's a professional simp.
Lin Xiao escorted Bai Youyou to her dormitory building, handed her three large bags of high-end snacks, and instructed her, "When you go up later, share these snacks with your roommates."
"Remember to smile. Trust me, junior, your smile is very approachable, and no one can dislike you. Your roommates will definitely like you too."
Bai Youyou was still a little worried: "What if they refuse to take it?"
"No. Nobody can resist a free lunch. Besides, everyone gets some, so they won't feel guilty about keeping it."
"Go ahead. Good luck. You can do it," Lin Xiao waved.
After watching the fairy-like junior sister enter the building, Lin Xiao turned and left.
This service has finally come to a successful conclusion.
He was satisfied with his performance.
Lin Xiao took out his phone and subconsciously checked his bank account balance, which already amounted to 7.8 million.
A client has an appointment on Thursday, when his deposit will soon surpass the 8 million mark!
Looking at the rapidly increasing account balance, Lin Xiao felt genuinely happy!
When I returned to room 808, my other three roommates were there.
Bird Bro, who was playing a two-word game, peeked out and asked, "Ah Xiao, did you just get back from your part-time job?"
Lin Xiao thought about it for a moment. Spending an hour with Bai Youyou every day was already a part-time job, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Have you had dinner?
"I ate. I ate in the cafeteria."
Bird nodded, operating the game controller as he said, "Sang Ting invited us to dinner tonight, but none of you went, so I was all alone. It was so awkward!"
Aquaman chuckled gleefully, "None of us went, so you two can have some alone time. Didn't you just praise how fragrant it was yesterday?"
Bird Bro retorted irritably, "Get lost! I'm just telling the truth! Can't you smell how nice Sang Ting smells?"
"It smells wonderful. I never knew floral water could be used like this. I've learned something new," the Sea King laughed heartily.
After taking a shower, Lin Xiao sat down at the table and began to draw.
He pondered for a while, and the scene of Meng Fanxue sitting in the garden reading a book came to mind. He planned to use this as the source of inspiration, and then draw a cat on the round table, based on the cream puff that Wei Ruolan raised.
Time passed by, second by second.
The outlines and textures of the scenery gradually appear on the canvas.
In a lush garden, a graceful and dignified woman sits reading a book. On the table are a teacup and a chubby cat. The scene is fresh and beautiful, giving people a sense of tranquility.
Bird Bro exclaimed, "Ah, it's already past midnight, we should go to sleep!"
He moved closer to Lin Xiao, took a closer look, and exclaimed, "Wow! Xiao, your drawing is amazing!"
Lin Xiao stretched and felt good about it, a satisfied smile on his lips.
Bird Bro was instantly wide awake and yelled, "Ah Xiao, what's wrong with your brain? How could you come up with, no, how could you draw such a breathtakingly beautiful picture?"
Lin Xiao smiled faintly, "Observe life more carefully."
Aquaman, who had already climbed one foot onto the bed ladder, put his foot down upon hearing this, put on his slippers, and joined in to watch the commotion.
Aquaman walked closer and looked at Lin Xiao's computer screen, his eyes lighting up: "Xiao, your painting is so evocative! This garden full of flowers is simply breathtakingly beautiful."
"And this figure, though only a few strokes, captures the essence and spirit immediately. Your painting truly has both elegance and artistic conception."
"Damn, if I didn't know you, I'd suspect you were secretly practicing in some art studio! This cat is also interestingly drawn, with a mysterious yet cute feel. I want to pet it."
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I think it's pretty good too. Maybe I'm just bursting with inspiration today."
Save the artwork and turn off the computer.
Xing Wei, the fourth roommate in dormitory 808, nicknamed "Brother Wei," has returned this morning.
However, he seemed very tired and his mood was low. He went to bed early that night. When he heard Aquaman's voice, he became a little more awake, but he didn't say anything. He turned over and continued to sleep.
But he couldn't sleep.
The love that my roommates had always envied—a girlfriend who was both beautiful and talented—is now gone.
My girlfriend, Gu Yao, broke up with me.
He tried his best to win her back, but Gu Yao was determined to break up. She wouldn't reply to his WeChat messages or answer his phone calls.
He wandered alone outside the gates of Tsinghua University, waiting from morning till night, but Gu Yao's heart wouldn't soften. She wouldn't even let him see her one last time.
He felt so powerless.
I'm so sad.
Love is truly sweet when it's sweet, but it's also truly painful when it hurts.
