"Oh, Huahua, why are you in such a hurry?"
In dormitory building No. 17 of Hangzhou Normal University, You Liuhua was hurriedly packing some blueprints from the table into her small backpack.
Liu Shan, her roommate and best friend, looked at her flustered yet smiling face and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Brother Luo just texted me, saying he wants to meet me at Yifan Milk Tea Shop to discuss something. I have to go right away."
Upon hearing the words "Brother Luo," Liu Shan revealed an ambiguous smile and gently nudged You Liuhua.
"Oh, so this is the handsome childhood sweetheart you always talk about, right? What, doesn't he already have someone he likes?"
You Liuhua showed no embarrassment upon hearing this; instead, her face was filled with eager excitement.
"Good news! Brother Luo has broken free from the hypnotic spell of that green tea girl and is now a free and brave warrior. He will now embark on an adventure with me to create wealth!"
"Hey, no wonder you're so happy today, so that's why. Hurry up and go, you've liked her for almost six or seven years, haven't you?"
"Come, let me teach you."
Liu Shan pulled You Liuhua down to sit, and then began to speak earnestly.
"As the saying goes, 'It's easy for a woman to pursue a man,' but right now your brother Luo is single, so you need to act immediately and remember my sixteen-character mantra."
"Take the initiative, seize the opportunity, confess your feelings, and sleep with him!"
Liu Shan pointed a finger at her cheek, then glanced down at the bust she was insanely jealous of.
"I refuse to believe that anyone can resist such a cute and proactive female college student!"
"Come on, put on your little skirt, I'll do your makeup, I guarantee it'll make your brother Luo fall head over heels for you!"
Liu Shan called over her two other roommates to help You Liuhua get ready, helping her with clothes and makeup, which took a full half hour.
It must be said that Liu Shan's makeup skills are excellent. You Liuhua already has a good base, and with a light layer of makeup, paired with a fitted black JK skirt, she looks even more adorable and charming.
"Alright, go ahead! Remember to treat our whole dorm to a meal if you succeed!"
You Liuhua looked at her somewhat unfamiliar reflection in the mirror, secretly encouraged herself, then slung her backpack over her shoulder and walked out of the dormitory.
At this moment, another roommate, Chen Qunfang, looked at Liu Shan with some strangeness.
"Shanshan, I remember you said you'd never been in a relationship and claimed to have been single for 19 years, right?"
"Yeah. What's wrong?"
"So you're acting as Hua Hua's dating strategist since you have no experience?"
"I often watch romance anime and TV dramas, and that's how it's portrayed in them."
"Wow, you two are really something – one dares to teach, and the other dares to listen."
Chen Qunfang covered her forehead speechlessly, silently praying for You Liuhua, hoping it wouldn't have the opposite effect.
...
"Tap tap tap!"
You Liuhua jogged down the dormitory building, her steps light and quick, unable to contain her excitement.
Indeed, Liu Shan was right; she had liked Chen Luo for many years.
This was the love she was absolutely certain of and had held onto for many years.
In fact, the two were originally very good neighbors and friends. His father, You Lijun, and Chen Luo's father, Chen Guangrong, were police officers at the same police station.
As colleagues and neighbors, and with both fathers being so busy with work that they were often away from home, the mothers from both families frequently cooked and ate together with their children.
This way of getting along makes Chen Luo and You Liuhua no different from siblings.
At that time, the two of them were both obsessed with anime and shared the same hobby, so they played together every day.
We went to school together, came home together, ate together, played together, and even slept together frequently before junior high school.
According to Chen Luo, they were so familiar with each other that they were practically rotting.
If that incident hadn't happened, perhaps neither of them would be the way they are now.
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
A motorcycle sped past the school gate. Hearing the violent sound, You Liuhua slowed down, covered her eyes tightly, and sweat beaded on her forehead.
"Ah! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
The nightmare from years ago, along with that voice, resurfaced in You Liuhua's mind.
...
Six years ago, at the entrance of Jinfeng County No. 1 Middle School.
"Xiao Luo, your father is busy, so he asked me to pick you up today."
You Lijun held You Liuhua's hand in one hand and Chen Luo's hand in the other, and slowly walked home.
At this time, Chen Luo and You Liuhua were only thirteen years old and had just started junior high school.
"Dad, I want to eat chocolate ice cream."
You Liuhua was not wearing a blindfold at this moment, and she was holding her father's hand and acting coquettishly.
"You're not allowed to eat anymore. You ate too much yesterday and got an upset stomach. Okay, I'll buy you some more in a few days."
Because You Lijun has worked on the front lines of police work for many years and was once a soldier, he has a burly physique that makes him appear very tough. However, at this moment, his face is full of doting affection for his daughter.
"Okay, it's a promise. You have to buy it for me and Brother Luo in a few days."
Just as You Lijun was about to agree with a smile, the sound of a motorcycle suddenly came from the road beside him. The sound of the motorcycle was getting closer and closer, and You Lijun's instinct as a policeman immediately set off alarm bells in his heart.
Could it be that one of those scoundrels who was arrested before is now getting revenge on me after he gets out?
"Chen Luo! Protect Hua Hua! There's danger!"
You Lijun had just turned around when he saw a man on a motorcycle speeding towards him, holding an iron rod in his hand.
"Huahua! Watch out!"
Chen Luo stepped forward and hugged You Liuhua tightly, then turned around to face the newcomer.
"Damn it!" You Lijun immediately pounced over. When the man saw You Lijun rushing over, he instinctively withdrew his hand slightly.
With a loud "bang!", the end of the iron rod still struck Chen Luo on the head.
"Pfft!" Blood gushed from Chen Luo's head, slowly dripping down and landing on You Liuhua's right eye.
"Brother Luo!"
"Chen Luo!"
The two cried out in alarm, but the murderer had already sped away on his motorcycle.
You Lijun took off his clothes and used them to cover Chen Luo's wound to stop the bleeding. He then immediately took out his phone to notify the police station to send someone quickly and to call an ambulance.
You Liuhua was terrified when she saw Chen Luo's face covered in blood. Looking at the dying Chen Luo, she was filled with endless fear, her whole body trembled, and her mind went blank.
"Luo, Luo, brother, brother, you, you."
At this moment, Chen Luo's right hand touched her cheek: "It's okay, your right eye is the eye of God, you are a magician, you can definitely heal me with healing spells."
"Ah! Brother Luo! Don't die!"
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so useless! I couldn't save you!"
Upon hearing these words, You Liuhua finally burst into tears, releasing all her fear and guilt of helplessness.
You Lijun didn't know how to comfort his daughter, so he could only gently pat her back.
The ambulance arrived shortly afterward, and Chen Luo was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. Although his life was not in danger, he suffered severe brain damage and his memory became somewhat confused. He was hospitalized for two whole months.
After that incident, You Liuhua took the initiative to ask her father if she could learn martial arts and grappling, wanting to have more ways to protect Chen Luo.
Another thing is that this incident made her completely unwilling to graduate from her chuunibyou (middle school syndrome). It wasn't that she was immersed in it, but that she wanted more power, the power to protect Chen Luo.
This also included the "Eye of God" that Chen Luo casually mentioned when comforting her, which made her unwilling to take off the blindfold.
Her eye can only belong to Chen Luo, and can only be used to protect Chen Luo, even though there may not be any magical power in it.
You Liuhua snapped out of her reverie and found herself standing in front of the milk tea shop.
Because of the painful memory she had just experienced, her desire to see Chen Luo became even stronger. She longed to hug him, to hug her beloved Luo-gege.
"Phew!" Taking a deep breath, You Liuhua opened the door of the milk tea shop and immediately shouted.
"Brother Luo, where are you? I'm coming."
Just after shouting those words, You Liuhua froze on the spot, because she immediately saw Chen Luo, but a woman was sitting next to Chen Luo.
A woman who made her feel extremely insecure!
"Oh, Liuhua, you're here! Come on, come sit down."
