the next day
"Auntie, please have a pickled fish set meal, for dine-in."
As the boy spoke, he rummaged through his pockets, then suddenly stopped and took everything out of his pockets to look at it.
"Young man?"
The cafeteria lady carrying the food looked puzzled.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I forgot my meal card, never mind."
The boy smiled apologetically and left through the food window. Penniless, he had no choice but to walk out of the cafeteria.
"etc!"
He heard a gasp from behind, but ignored it and continued walking towards the dormitory.
"That's strange, how did my student card disappear? Should I get a replacement?"
"Lan Boyu!"
He paused for a moment, then heard his name. He turned around, and a beautiful girl stood in front of him, a blue light flashing in her hand.
"You're...that girl from yesterday." He recognized her. "What do you want from me?"
Helpless, Qiu Shui took out an electronic card from her pocket. "Is this yours?"
Lan Boyu took it and looked at it, touching the familiar engravings on the back of the card, and nodded.
"This is my student ID card, how did it end up in your hands?"
"When you bought things yesterday, the card should have slipped into the bag."
She explained.
"Here's 300 yuan. You helped me pay at the supermarket yesterday, thank you."
Lan Boyu saw the money in Qiu Shui's hand but did not take it.
"Thank you so much for helping me find my student card. It's noon now, how about we go to the restaurant in the back to repay your kindness and have a good meal together?"
He smiled slightly, his face showing a kind expression. Qiu Shui thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Walking down the street, Lan Boyu asked curiously, "How did you find me?"
Princeton University is very large, and finding someone there is like finding a needle in a haystack. At noon, many students leave the school, making it even more difficult to find someone.
Qiu Shui did not answer. Her gaze shifted downwards to the electronic bracelet, where the electronic positioning system was running, clearly showing the location of the two of them.
"secret."
Lan Boyu chuckled, "This must be fate."
"..."
The autumn waters are silent.
It's not that we're destined to meet, it's that you're too famous. Lan Boyu, student number 317 in Building 8 at Princeton University, is a legendary figure at Princeton, known as the campus heartthrob.
Every time he did something, someone would promptly report it online, which is why she was able to find him so quickly.
He heard soft whispers behind him, and quite a few girls "bumped into" him on the way. It seems that being a school heartthrob is a tough job.
Just then, Lan Boyu suddenly grabbed her arm and pointed to a three-story outdoor restaurant in front of them, saying, "We're here."
As they entered the restaurant, a waiter quickly approached them.
"Two guests, there are still seats available upstairs. Would you like to come up for your meal?"
Lan Boyu nodded. "Okay."
The waiter led them up and seated them. The waiter politely inquired about their tastes and dietary restrictions, and after they answered, the waiter politely asked...
"Our restaurant mainly offers Western-style dishes. Guests tell us their preferences, and then our chefs choose suitable pairings for them. Would you two be satisfied?"
"accept."
Qiu Shui and Lan Boyu both agreed.
"Please wait a moment, both of you."
The waiter left, and Lan Boyu smiled as he looked at Qiu Shui across from him, asking, "Aren't you a little uncomfortable with this self-service dining style?"
"A little."
Qiu Shui said frankly.
Do you live nearby?
Lan Boyu asked curiously.
“I go to school nearby, not far from here.”
"Aerospace University?"
"No, Ailu Academy."
Autumn Water answered calmly.
"Ailu Academy? They have cutting-edge technology there, and many of our academy's projects are in cooperation with you."
Qiu Shui's gaze dimmed. "Is that so?"
"Oops...did I say something wrong?"
Qiu Shui shook her head. "No, I was just thinking about some bad things."
"Ding ding~"
A bell rang, and a waiter carrying several plates pushed open the door.
"These are some cold dishes, please enjoy them."
