On the morning of November 11th, Wanzhou was making a fuss in the dormitory.
"If you're a brother, come and chop me up."
Qin Bai glanced at the Pinduoduo interface on his phone.
"Even if I kill you, I won't get that thing."
"Impossible. I clicked on the link through an ad. How could I have been scammed? Besides, today is Singles' Day."
"Ha! That's good, you've become smarter again."
Ignoring his taunts, Wanzhou continued shouting in the group: "Cut me down, all of you come and cut me down."
I don't know which dad came up with Singles' Day, but in order to find a partner, all the innocent young men have become so desperate that they're willing to take anything.
They were so hungry their eyes were practically blue, and they couldn't wait to ask any member of the opposite sex if they wanted to be in a relationship.
It's best to be alone. I can walk through a sea of flowers without getting a single petal on me, and no one can ask me out.
Ding-dong!
The phone beeped.
I opened the voice chat, and a youthful and energetic voice entered my ears.
"Good morning, Senior Qin Bai."
Press and hold the call button: "Good morning."
Ever since that night when the two of them took a walk on the playground, he has been replying to Yu Xiaoyu's messages to express his gratitude.
After all, she had helped them so much, and it would be quite impolite to suddenly ignore her.
Upon hearing the voice she had been longing for, Yu Xiaoyu happily ran around the dormitory.
Luckily, her roommates all went on dates, otherwise they would definitely have made fun of her again.
Who wouldn't like a vibrant and beautiful young woman? She's attractive to both men and women.
Senior Qin Bai seems to be in a good mood today, so we'd better hurry up and make an appointment, or we might miss our chance.
I found the number in my favorites and dialed it.
"Hey, Senior Qin Bai."
"Yu Xiaoyu, is something the matter?"
"Um... I won two movie tickets in a class event the other day. My roommates aren't here, so it would be a waste if we didn't go. Do you have time?"
The voice grew softer and softer until it became a murmur.
Qin Bai understood her intentions perfectly well, but he was in a difficult situation and had no energy to provoke this junior.
Replying to her messages is already the maximum I can do; too much contact might just make her overthink things.
"I'm sorry, I have to go to the library today. Final exams are coming up soon, and I haven't reviewed a lot of things yet."
Qin Bai made up an excuse and canceled this date that shouldn't have happened.
"Oh, it's alright. A classmate of mine wanted this movie ticket, so I'll just give it to her."
Yu Xiaoyu gripped the bed sheet tightly with one hand, offering an excuse that sounded somewhat acceptable, but her voice was full of disappointment.
"Okay, then you go find your classmates, I'm going to the library."
After Qin Bai finished speaking, he tried to hang up the phone.
"Wait, Senior Qin Bai, which floor of the library are you going to? I need to study there in a bit."
"Huh? This... the study room on the third floor, I guess."
"Alright, see you later."
"No, I..."
Beep beep beep!
The call was disconnected.
Qin Bai looked at his phone, somewhat worried.
"Aren't you free? Why did you say you wanted to go to the library?"
I've already applied for early graduation, so what exams are there to take? I was thinking of just lazing around in my dorm all day.
Well, now that's how it happened. A casual lie has cost him the price of walking to the library in freezing weather.
"Third brother, did you cut me? And fourth brother, hurry up and cut me."
Hearing Wan Zhou's carefree voice, Qin Bai began to feel envious.
This little thing is still the best.
Fools sometimes have good luck.
Never mind, let's go out.
The words have already been spoken, and there's no going back.
After getting dressed, I casually grabbed two books, put them in my bag, and turned to leave the dormitory.
A cold wind blew by, making Qin Bai shiver.
What a terrible mistake! Why did I have to go to the library that day?
Next time you make an excuse, just say you're on your period and need to rest in your dorm.
Qin Bai cursed as he arrived at the third floor of the library. As soon as he entered, he saw Yu Xiaoyu waving at him incessantly.
After walking over, a hot cup of milk tea was placed in front of me.
Qin Bai was shocked and asked in a low voice, "Are there any pearls?"
Last time, I almost gave him a psychological trauma from drinking too much.
"Yes, since you really like that stuff, I specially added caramel pearls, they're super big!"
Seeing Yu Xiaoyu looking at him with a smug expression, he smiled and nodded.
caramel.
Extremely large.
Putting these two words together, it seems we're going to have a life-or-death battle with this milk tea today.
Waste is impossible.
This word doesn't exist in Qin Bai's dictionary.
He took out his book and sat down next to Yu Xiaoyu.
The library wasn't crowded today; most people were probably busy on dates.
I took the milk tea, inserted the straw, and took a sip—it was warm and comforting.
Then......
The straw was blocked by a huge caramel pearl.
I inhale.
It didn't move.
I'm inhaling.
It didn't move.
Just as Qin Bai was about to smash the cup.
Bang!
A pearl struck the upper palate.
Yu Xiaoyu turned her head when she heard the sound, her eyes crinkling into crescent shapes with laughter.
Feeding successful.
Senior Qin Bai really liked the milk tea I bought for him, and he was particularly fond of the tapioca pearls.
I'll buy these again next time, but I'll buy the big ones.
In order to talk to him more, Yu Xiaoyu placed the book in front of him.
"Senior Qin Bai, I don't know how to do this problem, can you help me?"
