Even though he knew it couldn't have been sent by Xia Yue, Xia Xi still took a photo of the loquat paste in the express box and sent it to Xia Yue's mobile phone.
Xia Yue really didn't understand the situation and replied with a question mark.
Xia Xi joked, "I thought it was an airdrop sent by you."
Xia Yue also joked: "Don't even mention it's an airdrop. Even if I were to tie a flying monkey to my body, it would still take me a while to get from Ganlin to Nancheng. It wasn't sent by me."
Xia Xi: "I know."
Xia Yue: "I was planning to buy you this brand of loquat paste and send it to you. It's very effective. Since you already have it, drink it quickly. Don't stay up late at night and go to bed early. When you are sick, rest more so that your body can recover faster."
Xia Xi: "Remember it."
After sending the message, Xia Xi put the phone on the table, looked at the two bottles of loquat paste in the carton, then looked at the other people in the room and laughed: "I don't know who sent it."
Zhao Lei raised a finger and waved it in the air a few times, with an "I understand" expression on her face: "I know! It must be your admirer. He heard that you were sick and secretly came to send warmth."
Xia Xi closed the carton and studied the express delivery label on it. The shipping address was a large pharmacy near Nanjing University, and the middle digits of the phone number were hidden. There was nothing special about it.
She asked Zhao Lei: "Since he is my admirer, why didn't you let me know? If you hide it from me, how can I know that he has put so much thought into me? Isn't it all in vain?"
Zhao Lei was stumped by her question and couldn't answer for a moment. Wang Qiuyu immediately followed up, "I know that! It's easy to understand. They know your personality and are worried you might reject their feelings, so they're keeping it from you until the right time."
Zhao Lei nodded: "This analysis is very reasonable."
Xia Xi was silent, feeling something was strange.
Wu Qinglu whispered, "Could it be that Su Yuanjia who's pursuing you? Firstly, he knows you're sick and even brought you breakfast and ginger soup a few days ago. Secondly, you've talked to him and clearly rejected his advances. He probably hasn't given up and still misses you, but doesn't want to cause you any trouble, so he's showing his concern for you in a different way."
Zhao Lei clapped her hands and gave Wu Qinglu an admiring look: "This analysis makes more sense!"
Because of two bottles of loquat paste of unknown origin, several people in the dormitory became Sherlock Holmes, listing various evidences and reasoning repeatedly, trying to find the "real murderer" behind it.
Xia Xi waved her hand, indicating that she would not participate in their reasoning process, and took a shower and prepared to go to bed.
At 10:30, the dorm lights were turned off. It seemed pitch black, but in reality, everyone was enjoying the night in the small space formed by their beds. The light from their phone screens shone on their faces, as some read novels, watched videos with headphones plugged in, or even played games.
Only Xia Xi didn't play with her cell phone. She lay flat on the bed, her hands folded behind her head, blinking in the dark.
She also had a guess in her mind, but she didn't say it out loud just now - she thought it was Xu Yanfeng.
If she mentioned Xu Yanfeng's name, her roommates would definitely think she was dreaming, just like they didn't believe Xu Yanfeng defending her in the meeting.
Only she can understand this feeling.
It was a very strong feeling, difficult to describe in precise words.
She thought it was probably because she and Xu Yanfeng had just met in the library that afternoon, and Xu Yanfeng's behavior was too abnormal. Although he had returned to his previous cold demeanor when she left, it couldn't offset his own words, "I have a good resistance."
Xia Xi closed her eyes. She didn't want to be confused. She had to find an opportunity to verify her guess.
*
Xia Xi would never have thought the night before that the opportunity would come so quickly, as if God had heard her prayers and helped her fulfill her wish.
Xia Xi completed all the homework assigned by the teacher this week, but her roommates, who had been exhausted all day on Saturday and Sunday, began to rush to finish their homework in the evening.
They felt that the dormitory atmosphere was toxic, destroying one's will, and not suitable for studying, just for lying in. After some discussion, they decided to go to the library to fight.
Xia Xi was a little bored staying in the dormitory alone, so she suggested going with them.
Zhao Lei held a small piece of bread in her mouth and said miserably, "Xueba, are you here to watch us make a fool of ourselves?"
Xia Xi coughed a few times and shook the book in his hand: "I have nothing to do, so I'll go preview my homework, organize my study notes, and find some supplementary materials."
Zhao Lei's cheeks puffed up as she chewed the dry bread and uttered two words: "I admire you."
The four of them rushed to the library with high spirits and picked a study room at random. Fortunately, there were not many people there and there were empty seats.
Suddenly, Xia Xi stopped in the aisle, unable to move, staring blankly in one direction.
Zhao Lei pulled her arm and lowered her voice: "Let's go, what are you standing there for?"
Xia Xi blinked hard to make sure she was seeing things. Her lips opened and closed, and the three words she had repeated hundreds of times came out: "Xu Yanfeng."
"Where?"
Zhao Lei looked around and finally saw Xu Yanfeng's profile wearing headphones in a corner near the window.
At this moment, she was truly impressed by Xia Xi. No matter how dazzling Xu Yanfeng was, even though he was hiding in such an inconspicuous corner, with his profile mostly obscured, Xia Xi could still spot him at a glance.
"Sister, do you have a radar system installed on you?" Zhao Lei pinched her arm, her tone full of admiration.
