Lin Xiao was slightly taken aback as a fresh and delicate aroma of white tea wafted into his nostrils.
Did that silly junior girl wear perfume today?
She used to only have a faint shampoo scent, why is she suddenly wearing perfume?
Could it be that Sang Ting taught her that?
at the same time,
In the dormitory,
Sang Ting was playing duo queue with Bird when she suddenly sneezed.
As she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with tissues, she muttered to herself, "Who's talking about me?... Oh no, I'm dead!"
A hint of curiosity and a desire to explore flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes.
But it was only for a brief moment.
Lin Xiao lowered his eyes, focusing his gaze on the pages of the book, and replied calmly, "I went to the hospital to accompany my aunt this morning and only returned to school this afternoon."
"As for what happened just now, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment, junior, you don't need to take it to heart."
Bai Youyou gave a faint "oh".
He stopped speaking.
But in his heart he was wondering if his aunt was sick.
Should she go visit his aunt?
I think I should.
After all, they are friends... right?
The atmosphere in the library quieted down again.
All that remained was the rustling sound of pages turning.
Lin Xiao read about ten pages of the book, then checked the time and realized it was already past five o'clock.
He closed his book and said in a low voice, "Junior, it's time to eat. Shall we head out?"
Bai Youyou obediently hummed in agreement, gathered the things on the table, and followed Lin Xiao downstairs.
Her movements as she descended the stairs were light and cheerful, her little black leather shoes making a crisp clattering sound on the steps.
Lin Xiao turned around and glanced at the fairy-like junior.
Today she wore a light blue dress with a white collar, her hair in a low ponytail, her face fair and delicate, and her lips unconsciously pursed slightly.
Absolutely gorgeous.
It's 10.05 out of 10 cute.
With such an obedient little face, if he suddenly ruffled her hair, she would probably glare at him angrily, her eyes would redden, and she would shed a liter of golden tears, right?
Her tears must be quite large, right?
Lin Xiao laughed at his own sudden, wicked thought.
He quickly pursed his lips, forcing himself to become serious.
Damn it.
He's with such adorable creatures every day, and he feels like he's going crazy. What's going on?
Unaware of this, Bai Youyou quickly stopped when Lin Xiao suddenly stopped.
As a result, he tripped over himself and stumbled forward.
Lin Xiao reacted quickly and helped the fairy-like junior.
Thump~
Large, fluffy clouds suddenly and violently attacked someone's heart.
Super soft.
However, the attack level is maxed out; it feels like my heart might have left my body.
Lin Xiao's ears turned red.
But he remained as calm as an old dog.
"Junior, be careful! Were you scared?" Lin Xiao's voice had a slightly hoarse tone.
Bai Youyou smiled shyly and shook her head. "It's nothing. Thank you, senior."
It actually hurts a little.
But she was too embarrassed to say it.
Lin Xiao withdrew his hand and moved aside, giving each other enough space.
"Senior, is your aunt's illness... serious?"
Lin Xiao was slightly taken aback. He didn't want to talk about family matters, so he nodded vaguely and said, "Mm."
Bai Youyou stopped and bit her lip, saying, "Then... shall I go see your aunt?"
She didn't know why she said that.
I just blurted it out without thinking.
"No need. My aunt... doesn't like meeting strangers. But thank you anyway, junior."
Bai Youyou responded with an "oh," but for some reason, a sense of frustration at being rejected washed over her.
She doesn't often care about people.
They certainly don't care about other people's families.
The two went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor.
There's an event going on here, and a lot of students have gathered around.
It turned out to be a timed reading challenge.
The first prize is a limited edition exquisite handmade notebook set.
It contains four notebooks for different purposes, such as a diary, a sketchbook, a journal, and a reading notebook.
The cover also features unique hand-carved patterns or famous quotes.
Lin Xiao seemed to be thinking of something, and his dark eyes lingered on the notebook set for a while longer.
Bai Youyou caught Lin Xiao's gaze, then, carrying her milky-white backpack, squeezed onto the competition stage.
As soon as the school beauty stepped onto the stage, the crowd's popularity skyrocketed.
They stood in layers, all eagerly anticipating what was to come.
The man with the buzz cut and his roommate also passed by and caught a glimpse of Bai Youyou going on stage to participate in the competition.
The man with the buzz cut paused, a thought suddenly forming in his mind.
He also wants to participate in the competition and defeat Bai Youyou on stage.
Let her know that he, Zhao Zhiqiang, is no less capable than Lin Xiao!
His roommate saw him walking towards the center of the crowd and called out, "Brother Qiang, where are you going? If you don't go eat soon, the cafeteria will run out of food."
Zhao Zhiqiang said without turning his head, "You go first, I'll go after I win the game."
His roommate was stunned for a moment, then found it amusing.
He wanted to see how Zhao Zhiqiang, who was usually obsessed with playing ball and chasing girls, would lose.
Zhao Zhiqiang squeezed onto the competition stage and stood next to Bai Youyou.
The host read out the competition rules.
She then randomly selected a chapter from the Four Great Classical Novels, and all contestants read it within the same amount of time, followed by answering related questions based on that chapter.
At the start of the competition, the host randomly selected a chapter from "Dream of the Red Chamber".
The dozen or so contestants began reading intently.
Bai Youyou sat in the front row of the competition area, her expression focused, her slender, jade-like fingers quickly sliding across the pages of her book.
