Chapter 10 Don't Miss Me Too Much
After staring at Chen Yubai for a few seconds, Peng Chengyi suddenly realized that she might have misunderstood something, and she awkwardly sat back down in her original seat.
But since it wasn't her turn to pick up the military training uniform, why was the squad leader staring at her?
Moreover, when she stood up, he seemed to hide behind Chen Yubai.
He seemed very afraid of her.
But with his height and muscular build, she should be the one afraid of him.
Perhaps it was just her imagination.
Seeing that Peng Chengyi had sat back down, Ling Baizhou breathed a slight sigh of relief and straightened up.
"What's going on?" Chen Yubai glanced at him speechlessly.
"I was peeking at your boss just now, and she caught me. I thought she was going to get up and unleash a powerful attack on me," Ling Baizhou whispered.
"..." Chen Yubai's lips twitched slightly. He admired him for having such a brain and still being able to get into No. 1 High School.
"She probably thought you were looking at her and were about to call her up to get her military training uniform, so she stood up," Chen Yubai explained casually.
"Oh right!" Ling Baizhou suddenly realized, and smiled sheepishly, "I was overthinking it."
He glanced down at the list, and Peng Chengyi was next in line, so he looked up at her again.
It turned out that her entire earlobe was a little red, as if she hadn't recovered from the embarrassment just now.
He couldn't help but doubt Chen Yubai's claim that she was very fierce.
Especially when she ran up to him, took the military training uniform, and whispered "thank you" to him.
She's clearly an incredibly cute and adorable girl.
After receiving her military training uniform and returning to her seat, Peng Chengyi finally received a reply from Chen Yubai: "Are your eyes healed?"
...
This dog really doesn't miss any opportunity to tease her.
But she felt guilty towards him and could only swallow her anger and reply, "Healed."
Chen Yubai: "It's not easy. Be careful to protect yourself and make sure it doesn't relapse in the future."
Damn it! She took a step back, and he actually pushed his luck!
Peng Chengyi gritted her teeth and couldn't help but reply with an emoji that said, "Watch out, I'll smash your dog head in."
Chen Yubai smiled noncommittally, then turned his phone screen to Ling Baizhou, who was starting to question him again: "Look."
Ling Baizhou's eyes widened: "Wow! Really!"
-
After receiving their military training uniforms, boarding students can now report to their dormitories.
The boys' dormitory and the girls' dormitory are in completely different directions, so Peng Chengyi and Chen Yubai will have to part ways as soon as they leave the teaching building.
"I'm leaving. Don't miss me too much." Chen Yubai walked down the steps and casually patted her head again.
“...Who would want a dog like you?” Peng Chengyi rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
"I seem to remember someone saying I was a treasure not long ago," Chen Yubai said, giving her a knowing glance.
"..." Peng Chengyi choked awkwardly and turned her face away, "One thing at a time, that was to thank you for taking on the hard job of literature and art committee member for me."
Chen Yubai narrowed his long, narrow eyes: "Just a heads up, I can go tell the teacher now that I don't want to be the literature and art committee member anymore."
? !
Peng Chengyi was startled and immediately slid to his knees: "Brother, you're my treasure brother! Didn't you say you'd protect your little brother? Don't abandon me halfway!"
Chen Yubai smiled, lazily tossed out "Remember to miss me," and strode away.
"...Thinking of you my foot."
After he walked away, Peng Chengyi made a face at his smug back and muttered a curse under her breath.
She then picked up her suitcase and headed towards the girls' dormitory.
The dormitory building has a total of 5 floors. Peng Chengyi's dormitory room number is 301, which is located at the corner of the stairs.
Each dormitory room has four bunk beds, accommodating a total of eight people.
Upon entering, Peng Chengyi saw a familiar face making the bed.
Chen Wei was the first one to leave the classroom as soon as the teacher said to dismiss the class, and she quickly grabbed her luggage.
Peng Chengyi glanced at the number on her bed and compared it with the number on her own hand, discovering that the two were not only classmates, but also bunk beds!
She had to seize this opportunity!
Just now in the classroom, although she received a friendly smile from her, her cool aura was too strong, and she was able to refuse the teacher's request so decisively.
So she didn't dare to talk to her again after that.
Peng Chengyi put down her suitcase, cleared her throat slightly, and rolled the words she had prepared in her mind a couple of times before finally speaking when Chen Wei turned around at the sound of her voice: "What a coincidence, we are not only classmates, but also bunk beds."
"It's quite a coincidence," Chen Wei chuckled softly, then continued making the bed.
"..."
So, what else can she say?
You're so dense, hurry up and think!
Peng Chengyi pursed her lips awkwardly, not understanding why her brain would always freeze up and have nothing to say when facing strangers.
Just as she was at her wit's end, Chen Wei suddenly turned to her and asked, "Am I blocking your way from making your bed?"
"Huh?" Peng Chengyi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved his hand, "No, no, you go ahead and do it, I'm not in a hurry."
Chen Wei: "Oh, then wait a few minutes, I'll be done in a minute."
Peng Chengyi nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yeah, it's nothing."
This cool girl doesn't seem so cold after all.
Peng Chengyi thought to herself for a moment, then tentatively asked, "By the way, you like playing the drums, right?"
"Mmm." Chen Wei nodded, still wearing her pillowcase.
Have you ever been in a band?
"No." Chen Wei paused, then finally turned back to her. "Have you ever been in a group?"
"Me neither. I only studied guitar for one summer vacation, and I can only play some simple songs." Peng Chengyi smiled sheepishly and asked her curiously, "How long have you been learning drums?"
"I started in the third grade of elementary school," Chen Wei said casually.
"Wow! You must be amazing!" Peng Chengyi exclaimed sincerely.
Seeing her clear, bright eyes suddenly light up, Chen Wei turned her head away slightly embarrassed: "It's not that amazing."
"Anyway, she's definitely much better than me!" Peng Chengyi smiled, and was about to press her advantage by asking if she had any plans to form a band, when someone else walked into the dormitory.
Hey, future roommates!
The girl who came in had short hair that reached her chin, and her eyes weren't big, but the curve at the corners of her eyes naturally gave her a smiling look, making her seem very warm and lively.
Peng Chengyi had a vague impression of her because she sat in the seat behind her; her name should be Zheng Xinyue.
"Hi." Peng Chengyi quickly raised her hand and waved at her.
"Wow, I'm actually in the same dorm as you!" Zheng Xinyue exclaimed excitedly.
"Hmm..." Peng Chengyi nodded slowly, a little unsure of what she was so excited about.
She didn't seem to do anything particularly eye-catching in the classroom, except for being asked by the teacher if she wanted to be the arts and culture representative.
Could it be that she also plays some musical instrument, which is why she finally found her tribe?
As she was pondering, Zheng Xinyue tugged at her arm familiarly and asked with a curious look, "Is that Chen Yubai really the top scorer in the city? You two seem to know each other quite well."
"..."
The case is solved.
It turns out her excitement stemmed from gossip about Chen Yubai.
Peng Chengyi couldn't help but give a somewhat complicated "hmm".
"Then why is he in our regular class?" Zheng Xinyue continued to inquire.
Peng Chengyi: "Because he didn't get into the experimental class."
Zheng Xinyue: "Huh? How could that be?"
Seeing the puzzled look on her face, Peng Chengyi suddenly felt like she had found an ally: "Isn't that unscientific? His grades before the high school entrance exam were actually about the same as mine."
Zheng Xinyue hesitated for a moment: "Do you know his date of birth?"
“…I know.” Peng Chengyi was taken aback, a little caught off guard by the sudden change in topic.
"Then you can calculate it for me and I'll know. He probably has favorable elements in his birth chart and many auspicious stars," Zheng Xinyue said, looking eager to try.
Peng Chengyi's eyes widened in surprise: "You can read birth charts?"
Zheng Xinyue: "I studied it on my own during the summer vacation, and I'm quite interested in it."
“Wow, that’s amazing…” Peng Chengyi thought for a moment, “But I think he probably didn’t, because I share the same birthday as him and I did pretty average on the test.”
"Huh? You two were born on the same day, month, and year?" This time it was Zheng Xinyue's turn to be incredulous.
"Yes... he arrived 3 hours earlier than me, does that have any impact?" Peng Chengyi asked.
"Yes." Zheng Xinyue nodded and began to explain to her in a serious tone the influence of birth time on the Eight Characters (Ba Zi).
“I’ve made the bed, you can go up and make it now.” Chen Wei, who hadn’t participated in the conversation, suddenly interrupted.
"Oh, okay." Peng Chengyi quickly nodded, opened her suitcase, climbed onto the upper bunk and got to work.
But even after Zheng Xinyue started making the bed, she couldn't stop talking.
Moreover, her interest had shifted from the birth chart to her relationship with Chen Yubai.
"So you two were in the same class in junior high?"
“Hmm…we were in the same class in junior high, elementary school, and kindergarten,” Peng Chengyi said, spreading out the bed sheet.
"Wow! So you two must have grown up together?" Zheng Xinyue said enviously.
Peng Chengyi felt that the term "childhood sweethearts" had a somewhat ambiguous connotation, so she corrected her, saying, "You could say we're childhood friends. I was even his boss back then."
"Huh?" Zheng Xinyue was taken aback.
Even Chen Wei, who was listening to music with headphones on, looked up in surprise.
“He was half a head shorter than me when he first started junior high school. Did you expect me to call him ‘boss’?” Peng Chengyi explained matter-of-factly.
Zheng Xinyue: "..."
That seems to make sense.
But to be on such good terms with a campus heartthrob like that is such a waste of talent!
After a moment of processing, Zheng Xinyue couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think your childhood friend is handsome?"
Peng Chengyi paused, then scoffed, "Him? Handsome? He's barely passable."
Zheng Xinyue: "...You really don't know how lucky you are. All the boys in my class were weird and ugly. I'm so envious of having such a handsome childhood friend."
“After a while, he’s just like that.” Peng Chengyi paused, then added, “Besides, his mouth can sometimes drive you crazy.”
“But I see you’re doing pretty well,” Zheng Xinyue said with a teasing smile.
Peng Chengyi: "Because sometimes, he makes me so angry I could die."
I never expected that she, who looks so quiet, would actually be so eccentric.
Zheng Xinyue burst out laughing, and wanted to be friends with her even more.
After making the bed, Zheng Xinyue asked her if she wanted to go to the cafeteria for lunch together.
Subconsciously, Peng Chengyi first thought about how Chen Yubai would have lunch and whether he would ask her to have lunch with him.
But within two seconds, she erased him from her mind.
After all, if she continues to do everything with him like she used to, she won't be able to make any good friends in high school.
“Okay.” Peng Chengyi nodded, then glanced at Chen Wei, who was sitting alone on the lower bunk, and tentatively asked her, “Do you want to come with us?”
Seemingly surprised that she would take the initiative to invite her, Chen Wei paused for a moment before nodding and standing up.
As the three of them walked into the cafeteria, Peng Chengyi's phone, which was in his pocket, vibrated.
She glanced at her phone; it was Chen Yubai: "Are you all packed? Want to go eat?"
Peng Chengyi replied as she walked, "I've already gone to eat with my roommates."
Chen Yubai: "...?"
Peng Chengyi: "You didn't say you wanted to have lunch with me from the beginning."
Chen Yubai: "Isn't this tacitly agreed upon?"
Peng Chengyi: "When did this kind of tacit acceptance come about?"
Chen Yubai: "It's been around since kindergarten."
