Why did you make me reincarnate?

The group left the Sichuan restaurant after dark.

He Lu held Zhang Jian's arm, glancing at the bruise on his forehead from time to time, her expression filled with self-reproach.

"Zhang Jian, are you really alright?"

"This little injury is nothing. As long as they don't touch you, you can take a few more punches."

Zhang Jian appeared nonchalant, enjoying his girlfriend's concern and secretly pleased.

Thanks to Xiong Zhi's help, the two officially started dating.

Li Mu was still reviewing what had just happened, saying that Chen Hao clearly knew Xiong Zhi, and his bias was too obvious.

Ning Qiushuang walked at the very back, barely saying a word the whole way.

Her mind was filled with images of Xu Chaoyang rescuing her, and she managed to subdue the guy who was trying to take advantage of her in the chaos with just one hand.

Xu Chaoyang could have easily overpowered his peers, but he chose not to act rashly. Instead, he remained rational until the very end, when he acted to protect himself, which greatly increased her admiration for him.

And when the other party paid compensation to the boss, they didn't even flinch. Despite being a poor student themselves, they were still so generous when their friend was in trouble.

What a strange person.

Back at the girls' dormitory, Li Mu said he would take Zhang Jian to the school hospital to treat his wounds, but He Lu insisted on going with him.

Xu Chaoyang was too lazy to be a third wheel and was about to go back to his dorm when he turned around and found Ning Qiushuang still standing on the steps at the door watching him.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

Ning Qiushuang had a hesitant expression. She originally wanted to say thank you for helping her again, but that would take their relationship in a different direction, so she swallowed her words.

"It's nothing, you should go back and get some rest."

Xu Chaoyang watched her go upstairs, feeling that Ning Qiushuang's attitude was strange, but he didn't think much of it.

In room 402, Su Min sat on her bed flipping through a romance novel, while Ke Xin had just come out of the shower, her head still wrapped in a towel.

She saw Ning Qiushuang push the door open and quickly went to greet her.

"I heard from Li Mu that Zhang Jian was beaten up? How was the matter resolved?"

Ke Xin was in the media classroom in the afternoon when she received the news; the conflict had already ended.

Ning Qiushuang didn't reply. She took off her shoes, sat cross-legged on the bunk, and looked somewhat unfocused.

"Shuangshuang?"

Ke Xin waved her hand in front of her, "I'm asking you a question, have you lost your mind?"

Ning Qiushuang then came to her senses and blinked.

Su Min put down her novel and glanced down at her: "Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"

Ning Qiushuang touched her face and found it was indeed a little hot. She tucked her hair behind her ear and said somewhat absentmindedly:

I think I've fallen for Xu Chaoyang.

The dormitory was quiet for a while.

Ke Xin was just about to apply nail polish when she heard this and the brush was suspended in mid-air.

Su Min looked incredulous. "Didn't you say you weren't interested after the social gathering that night?"

Ning Qiushuang twirled the end of her hair with her fingers: "That night was, but I've changed my opinion of him today."

She recounted what happened at the library and during the conflict, then lowered her head and said, "I just felt... this boy was very calm, didn't panic in the face of trouble, and was more mature than other people his age."

Ning Qiushuang's voice was a little excited: "You didn't see it, but with one move he knocked down Xiong Zhi, who was half a head taller than him, and then he also pushed down another person."

Su Min listened intently, even forgetting to read her novel.

Ke Xin slowly frowned, put down the nail polish bottle, and her tone became serious.

"Shuangshuang, there's something I need to remind you. It seems Xu Chaoyang has a girlfriend."

Ning Qiushuang's expression did not change upon hearing this; only her eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Ke Xin continued, "Li Mu told me that he had seen photos of Xu Chaoyang's girlfriend; the two of them had been together since high school."

Su Min sighed. No wonder he was unmoved no matter how hard she tried to charm him that day.

Fortunately, she didn't get too deeply involved, but unfortunately Ning Qiushuang wasn't so lucky.

Ning Qiushuang remained silent for a few seconds. Ke Xin thought she would be disappointed or sad, but she just gave a soft "oh".

"If it's there, it's there."

Ke Xin was stunned: "Huh?"

Ning Qiushuang got up from the bed, reached out and pushed open the window. She looked in the direction of the dormitory building across the street, her gaze seemingly fixed on something else.

"So what if someone has a girlfriend? Does that mean I can't pursue them?"

Ke Xin felt that this statement was a bit strange, but it was also true, so she didn't know how to refute it.

She looked at Su Min, who had the same shocked expression. The two exchanged a glance and decided not to say anything more and let her do as she pleased.

Ning Qiushuang ignored their gazes; as long as her roommates didn't object, that was fine.

"From childhood to adulthood, I've never failed to get what I wanted, and the same goes for people."

……

The conflict with Xiong Zhi did not affect his daily classes, and Xu Chaoyang spent his first week of university life in an orderly manner.

The results of the class monitor election were delayed. During the second class meeting, Ouyang Ting said that they would observe for a while longer so that everyone could have a more intuitive judgment.

The truth is, the votes were too close, so she couldn't make a decision on the spot. Xu Nuonuo wore a polite smile, but secretly clenched her little fists under the table.

She did a lot of preparation for the class monitor election and helped the girls solve a lot of trivial matters in the past few days. On the other hand, Xu Chaoyang just attended classes normally and did nothing else.

As a result, not only did his votes not increase, but there were even signs that he might be overtaken.

Xu Nuonuo secretly glanced at Xu Chaoyang. The perpetrator himself was leaning back in his chair, scrolling through his phone, showing no signs of tension or anxiety.

Seeing this, she bit her lip. Was this person too confident, or did he not take the election seriously at all?

The trouble started on Wednesday.

The issue arose from the allocation of activity rooms for freshmen. The common activity room for several classes in the finance department was assigned to the corner of the third floor.

Despite being called an open space, it was actually a long-forgotten storage room. Before the previous students left the school, they filled it with broken tables and chairs and all sorts of junk that they couldn't name. Even two of the ceiling light tubes were broken, with only the last one stubbornly flickering, making the room look like a horror movie set.

Ouyang Ting reported this to her superiors, but the venues were allocated according to the list, so there was nothing she could do.

The only way to ensure the finance students clear out the space is to allow it to be used by themselves; otherwise, it will be assumed that the activity room will not be available for the next four years.

When the boys arrived at the venue, they were immediately in an uproar. Looking at the mess in the room, they really didn't know where to start.

"Is this an activity room or a junkyard?"

After taking photos and posting them in the class group, no one dared to speak, fearing they would be dragged into doing manual labor.

Xu Nuonuo also saw the message. She understood that whoever stepped forward to solve the problem first would definitely earn points in the counselor's eyes, so she immediately closed her book and rushed to the teaching building.

I made a few phone calls on the way, asking if the student union could help coordinate logistics, but the answer was definitely no.
