Amidst the silent, rising and falling exclamations of admiration from the crowd, Lin Xiao led Bai Youyou away from the library and headed towards the cafeteria.
Bai Youyou, carrying a beige backpack, followed behind Lin Xiao.
It's like a little tail, very well-behaved.
Lin Xiao stopped and waited for her a few steps, but she didn't notice and bumped into him directly.
Lin Xiao felt two warm, soft mounds behind him, which instantly made his whole body tense.
It felt like being gently bumped by two fluffy clouds, soft yet with a touch of elasticity.
Lin Xiao's heart started racing uncontrollably, his mind went blank, and he could only feel that indescribable, strange sensation behind him.
Bai Youyou felt herself bump into Lin Xiao's back and was slightly startled.
She looked down at herself, then looked up at Lin Xiao, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
She quickly realized what she had done, took a step back apologetically, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice you stopped."
Her voice was soft, tinged with a hint of unease, but her expression remained calm, as if she were still pondering the situation that had just occurred.
She lowered her head, gently pursed her lips, then raised her head again and tentatively asked, "Are you alright?"
Lin Xiao turned around, looked at Bai Youyou, and smiled faintly. "It's alright, it's good that you're alright."
Bai Youyou shook her head, still looking somewhat uneasy.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao jokingly said in a lighthearted tone, "Next time you should look ahead when you walk, otherwise I'll have to remind you all the time."
After saying this, Lin Xiao continued to lead the way, but he couldn't help but savor the feeling he had just experienced.
The soft sensation seemed to linger on his back.
Along the way, he slowed his pace intentionally or unintentionally, stopping suddenly from time to time, as if searching for something.
Bai Youyou didn't notice and just kept walking with him until she bumped into his back again.
Lin Xiao was prepared this time, but he still pretended to be a gentleman and said softly, "We've run into each other again. It seems I really need to install a radar for you."
When Bai Youyou heard the word "radar," she paused for a moment, tilting her head slightly as if pondering its meaning.
She looked up, blinked, and asked seriously, "What is radar?"
Lin Xiao was amused by her reaction and couldn't help but admire her innocence and cuteness. He explained with a smile, "Radar is something that helps you detect your surroundings to prevent you from bumping into me again."
Bai Youyou nodded as if she understood, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
"But I don't need radar, I just... sometimes get lost in thought and forget to look where I'm going."
Her voice remained calm, with a hint of innocence.
Looking at her serious expression, Lin Xiao couldn't help but chuckle. "It's okay, I'll watch the road for you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Youyou breathed a slight sigh of relief, nodded gently, and then resumed following behind Lin Xiao.
She still followed obediently, clinging to him like a little tail.
But this time, she seemed more careful and avoided colliding with him.
During this time, Lin Xiao received a message in the 808 dormitory group chat. Bird Brother tagged him, asking where he was and if he wanted to have dinner together.
Lin Xiao simply replied: "[At the library, almost at the cafeteria.]"
Inside the second canteen.
Lin Xiao and Bai Youyou were queuing at the window.
The tall, sturdy girl with a discolored forehead and face walked over carrying a food tray. She spotted Bai Youyou at a glance and said with a gentle smile, "Youyou, why didn't you invite me to eat with you?"
Bai Youyou replied casually, "I met a friend today."
His tone remained calm.
The girl turned her gaze to Lin Xiao and said with a smile, "You must be Youyou's friend? My name is Sang Ting, and I'm Youyou's roommate."
His tone was gentle, yet tinged with curiosity and scrutiny.
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, "I'm Lin Xiao, a senior majoring in computer science. It's nice to meet you, junior."
Sang Ting nodded, "Oh, so it's Senior Lin Xiao. I finally know your name. You and Youyou were on our school forum's hot topic yesterday, did you know?"
Lin Xiao pursed his lips and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
As luck would have it, Bird and Sea King walked over with their food trays at that moment.
Bird joked, "Ah Xiao, I didn't expect your arrangement to be so mysterious!"
There was a hint of teasing in his words.
Sang Ting smiled gently and said, "It's fate that we meet. It seems we have a deep connection. There are three cafeterias in the school, and we still managed to run into each other!"
Her tone was gentle, attempting to break the deadlock.
Haiwang said half-jokingly, "Xiaozai, you're too low-key. You didn't even tell us before sneaking out on a date."
His eyes held a hint of surprise and a secret admiration.
He thought to himself that Xiaozai was really a master at flirting, winning over Bai Xiaohua so quickly. He would definitely ask him for some tips later.
He tried to ask Qin Mengxia out, but she completely ignored him, not replying to his WeChat messages or answering his calls.
He's so worried.
Although Lin Xiao felt helpless inside, he maintained a calm expression on his face.
He glanced at Aquaman and Birdman with a hint of warning and unhurried composure.
"It's not a date, don't talk nonsense. It's just a meal together, nothing special." Lin Xiao's tone was calm, but inwardly he was thinking about how to deal with his roommates' teasing.
After Lin Xiao and Bai Youyou finished getting their food, the group found empty seats and sat down.
Sang Ting smiled and sat down, moving closer to Bird Brother and saying, "The atmosphere in your dorm is really great. Hey, senior, how do you guys usually get along?"
Bird was somewhat flattered and replied with a smile, "That's how we usually get along, no big deal about seniority."
Sang Ting laughed and patted Bird Brother on the shoulder, as if she were patting a buddy.
"I knew it! All you guys are like that."
This sudden display of intimacy startled Birdman for a moment.
As he tried to adjust his mindset, he secretly exclaimed: "My god, with her actions, she really thinks she's a boy!"
Sang Ting's words and actions made Bird Brother a little uncomfortable, but he still tried his best to interact with her in a natural manner, and was gradually attracted by her gentleness and love of laughter.
When she smiles, her eyes curve into crescent moons, which is both cute and playful.
Moreover, she smells very nice, and it's very pleasant to smell.
This is completely different from the first impression her carefree appearance gives.
"You smell so good!" Bird exclaimed.
Sang Ting didn't seem to care at all, and still smiled brightly, "Oh, I sprayed a little Six God."
Birdman was taken aback. "Is it perfume?"
Sang Ting giggled, "No, it's Six God Floral Water!"
Bird Bro: "..."
Upon hearing this, Neptune chuckled, his shoulders trembling as he tried to suppress his laughter.
He had been observing Lin Xiao, hoping to learn his flirting skills.
Bird Bro, this otaku, isn't even as skilled as me.
It's not worth learning.
