First candy
[Tree Hole, my roommate seems to be a scholar]
OP: Just like the title. I'm a sophomore in college. My relationship with my roommates was pretty good, and the first year of college life was pretty peaceful. But recently, I've noticed that one of my roommates... let's call her Roommate A, seems to be constantly paying attention to what I'm doing...
When I was choosing clubs in my sophomore year, I signed up for three and went for interviews. I met A during the interviews. A had never mentioned me in the dormitory before. I thought it was a coincidence, but I didn’t expect that A not only signed up for the same club as me, but also for the same department... Then I finally chose a department, and A happened to choose it too.
At first, I didn't think much of it. I thought it was nice to have a roommate who looked out for each other. But then, when club activities started, we often went together. I noticed that if I wore my hair down, A wore it down too. If I tied it up, A tied it up too. If I wore a blue shirt, she wore a blue shirt too. If I wore jeans, she wore jeans too. People who didn't know me might think we were close, but in reality, we were just close enough to talk. I really wanted to be good friends with A, but A was quite aloof.
Originally I wouldn't have posted anything if it was just this serious, but recently I noticed that A started buying the same bracelet as mine! The bracelet I'm wearing is a cheap item from a street vendor, why is A...!
I really can't figure it out. What does A want to achieve by learning from me?
1L: Ah this... the OP is miserable
2L: Sure enough, scholars are the most disgusting creatures in the world.
3L: I suggest you tear it up by hand, otherwise there might be something even more disgusting.
4L: Damn it, have you ever seen the Dolly monster that even copies the Moments?
5L: After seeing this post, I'm furious again. Can you please circle all the smart people in the world and stop disturbing the lives of normal people?!
6L: The reactions above seem a bit intense. Honestly, apart from the bracelet, I think everything else is pretty coincidental. Did the original poster misunderstand?
7L: Is the sixth floor the place where scholars are the best?
8L: If you haven't been disgusted by Dolly, don't come out and complain about others, okay?
9L: Oh, I clicked in without reading the title carefully. If you don’t know, you might think A has a crush on the OP.
10L: Damn, I am even more speechless after hearing what the 9th floor said.
11L: Suddenly it feels orange?
12L: ???? Come on, has your area been taken over by gays?
…
27L-OP: Please stop arguing, everyone. I'm really troubled by A's behavior and I can't figure it out. Actually... I'm quite curious about why A copied my drawings.
Because she is pretty, has a good body proportion, and comes from a good family. Her daily clothes are obviously extraordinary. My bracelet is just a few dozen dollars from a street stall. Would she lower her living standards just to imitate me?
28L: ?????
29L:? ? ? ? ? ? ?
30L: The plot suddenly took a turn for the worse?
31L: Did I miss the floor? Why is the OP still blowing A?
32L: The OP doesn't need to be puzzled. It makes no sense for a scholar to be so cunning. He simply can't walk independently.
33L: Huh? Why do I feel that the OP's attitude is more wrong than the OP's complaints about the academic elites around him?
34L: Sisters, would you have this attitude when Dolly copied you?
35L: I won’t speak for the scholar, I even want to tear the scholar apart
…
57L: Is the OP worried about the fact that there are smart scholars around him, or is he worried about whether A is a smart scholar?
58L: A sudden enlightenment
59L: The main post of the host is a bit weird
60L: Orange. Get the identity of the prophet on the 11th floor.
61L: OP, there’s something wrong with you.
…
Fang Xia looked at the replies to the post that were getting more and more off track, and without further comment, he simply exited the post.
The cell phone was turned upside down and Fang Xia bent down and lay on the table.
Their university dormitories are quite reasonable, with four people sharing a bed and a desk.
Fang Xia’s position as “Scholarly A” in the tree hole post happened to be right next to her.
Classmate A's name is Ye Shuang. Just as Fang Xia said in the post, Ye Shuang is very beautiful, with fair skin and peach blossom eyes. She looks a little cold when she is not smiling, but she can easily grab everyone's attention wherever she stands.
Fang Xia was dazzled by Ye Shuang's beauty on the first day of school, but Ye Shuang was also really aloof. Fang Xia tried to get close to her and make friends with her throughout his freshman year but failed.
She originally planned to continue her efforts in her sophomore year, but she didn't expect that she would gradually discover many coincidences between Ye Shuang and herself.
Fang Xia tilted her head while Ye Shuang went to the next dormitory to fill out the form required by the counselor. From Fang Xia's sight, she could see the bracelet that Ye Shuang had placed on the table.
The bracelet is not finely crafted, with a translucent rainbow cloud hanging on the pink gem.
Ye Shuang doesn't usually wear this bracelet, she only wears it when she goes out with Fang Xia.
"Why?" Fang Xia said to himself.
"What why?" A somewhat cold voice sounded in his ears. Fang Xia opened his eyes slightly when he heard the voice, and straightened up with a guilty conscience.
Ye Shuang came back from the dormitory next door at some point and happened to be standing not far behind Fang Xia.
Fang Xia had just posted a post complaining about Ye Shuang, and now the real culprit appeared in front of her, she felt embarrassed as if she had been caught.
Fortunately, Ye Shuang didn't notice Fang Xia's expression.
Seeing Fang Xia sitting up, Ye Shuang only glanced at her, then walked to her table and casually sprayed some perfume on her wrist. Without needing Fang Xia to answer her question, Ye Shuang continued, "Have you checked the club group? There's a dinner party tonight."
"Ah...?" Fang Xia looked at Ye Shuang belatedly, but her gaze did not stay on Ye Shuang's face for too long before moving away.
I lowered my head, picked up my phone, and clicked into the WeChat community group. Sure enough, someone had mentioned in the group a dinner party tonight, and had left the time and place, and asked those who went to click "1".
Fang Xia rarely missed such things, but she slid her finger upwards, her eyes fixed on the left side of the dialog box, until she saw someone with an avatar of a foreign actress reply "1", Fang Xia then quickly typed "1" and clicked send.
After doing all this, Fang Xia looked up at Ye Shuang. Without waiting for Ye Shuang to speak, Fang Xia took the initiative to say, "I saw you reply 1 in the group. Let's go together then."
Anyway, they always go to club activities together.
"Okay." Ye Shuang nodded.
Because she was going to a club dinner, Fang Xia changed out of the shirt and pants she'd been wearing in the dorm and put on a warm-colored dress. She tied half of her hair up, letting the rest of it flow naturally over her shoulders. She wore small cherry earrings, which matched her outfit perfectly.
After taking care of himself, Fang Xia's gaze drifted unnaturally towards Ye Shuang. Ever since he discovered that Ye Shuang seemed to be imitating him intentionally or unintentionally, Fang Xia always kept his gaze on her. Over time, it became a habit. Fang Xia even developed the ability to capture Ye Shuang's profound skills with just a glance.
Ye Shuang was wearing a warm-colored one-shoulder long dress; her hair was also half-tied up, and the rest hung naturally on her back; Fang Xia reached out and took a backpack with a teddy bear hanging on the side of the bag. Ye Shuang was holding a cross-body bag, but there was also a teddy bear on the side of the bag in her hand.
Fang Xia looked at Ye Shuang again and again, trying to find the similarities between Ye Shuang and himself as if he were playing a game of connect-the-dots.
But... Fang Xia subconsciously touched her wrist. She had never taken off the rainbow cloud bracelet on her wrist. Today, Ye Shuang's wrist was snow-white, empty and bare.
Fang Xia puffed out her cheeks, blinked, and her gaze followed the direction of her feet.
No bracelet... No bracelet, no bracelet. Fang Xia should be relieved. She doesn't like to imitate others...
Is it because it’s too cheap? Fang Xia’s thoughts suddenly rebelled, and a question appeared in her mind.
"Are you going out?" When Fang Xia's thoughts were getting more and more off track, another roommate, Shen Xiuyuan, who was watching TV series on the bed, poked her head out.
Looking at Fang Xia and Ye Shuang who were dressed neatly, Shen Xiuyuan raised her eyebrows and took off her headphones, "What are you two going to do behind our backs again?" There was a lot of sarcasm in Shen Xiuyuan's words.
"Ah..." Fang Xia opened her mouth and didn't know how to answer for a moment. What did she mean by going out behind their backs? It seemed as if there was something secret between her and Ye Shuang.
But in fact... Fang Xia and Ye Shuang are really not familiar with each other. It is because they often go to the club together and Ye Shuang often wears clothes and accessories similar to Fang Xia that others think they have a close relationship.
Fang Xia wanted to explain and dispel the rumors, but she did go in and out with Ye Shuang. If she explained suddenly, would Ye Shuang think she was being overly sentimental?
Another roommate, Wei Yixin, also looked over upon hearing the noise. She and Shen Xiuyuan exchanged glances, each curling their lips. "Yuanyuan, it's not uncommon for these two to go out together. What's all the fuss about?"
"That's true..." Shin Soo-won stretched out the last syllable.
"That's enough." Fang Xia opened her eyes when she saw what they said was outrageous. She looked up at her two unreasonable roommates and while refuting, she subconsciously stood on tiptoe because of her height, as if this would make her more justified.
"When you two take us to buy dormitory money, I will be nice to you again." Wei Yixin said with a smile.
"I'm having a dinner with Fang Xia's club." Ye Shuang said slowly, her face expressionless and her heart calm. "I'm going to South Street to bring you some food?"
"No, I'm losing weight." Shin Soo-won waved her hand.
Wei Yixin also said that there was no need to bring her any food.
Ye Shuang nodded, raised her hand to lift the hair by her ear, and was about to set off with Fang Xia.
"Hey, Ye Shuang, your earrings..." Wei Yixin looked at Ye Shuang's earrings, then looked at Fang Xia's earlobes.
"Hmm?" Ye Shuang looked up at Wei Yixin, but raised her finger to touch the earring.
"You two are doing something secret again." Shin Soo-won also saw it.
"Don't abuse idioms!" Fang Xia retorted instantly.
After he finished speaking, Fang Xia didn't even look at Shen Xiuyuan, but instead looked at Ye Shuang's ears.
Although Ye Shuang had some hair on her temples, Fang Xia could still easily see that Ye Shuang was wearing the same cherry earrings as hers.
Ye Shuang was naturally fair-skinned, and her earlobes were of moderate thickness and length, making her look particularly pleasing to the eye with earrings. Fang Xia couldn't help but take a few more glances at her and pursed her lips.
Perhaps Fang Xia had been staring at Ye Shuang for too long. Ye Shuang glanced sideways at Fang Xia and walked towards the door. "Let's go."
Not sure if it was his illusion, but Fang Xia felt that the corners of Ye Shuang's lips rose slightly, and his expression softened.
Fang Xia hurriedly followed. Before closing the door, Shen Xiuyuan's voice came out, "Give me the link later!"
"I understand." Ye Shuang was waiting for Fang Xia at the door. When she heard the voice, she replied in a good mood.
The club dinner was held at a buffet restaurant on South Street.
There weren't many people in Fang Xia's club. There were twelve people in total attending the dinner, and two tables were set up.
One and a half months after the club recruited new members, although the members were not familiar with each other, they also organized a large-scale event during this month and a half, so they were no strangers to each other.
The president ordered two dozen beers. It is undeniable that a group of peers getting together, eating, drinking and playing games can bring their relationship closer.
Fang Xia was happy to join in this kind of group activity, and was not afraid of even truth or dare. However, she had originally thought that Ye Shuang would be aloof and would definitely not actively participate. Unexpectedly, Ye Shuang was not particularly aloof.
The dinner lasted for three hours. Fang Xia confessed all his dark history, blank love history, and few secret crushes from childhood to adulthood. He posted several shameful remarks on social media and drank a lot of wine, feeling a little dizzy.
The only thing Fang Xia remembered was Ye Shuang sitting next to him.
But what did Ye Shuang say? How many times had he lost at Truth or Dare? Fang Xia lost track of it after drinking the first half of the beer.
