Jamie's smiling face froze upon hearing these words.

Thinking she had misheard, she asked again, "Where do you want to go?"

"Student Council," Wen Zhining replied patiently.

"No way!" Jia Meimei's smile vanished completely. "You can go anywhere, but you can't join the student council!"

"Senior, why are you so stingy?" Wen Zhining said with a wronged expression.

He then walked up to her, lowered his voice, and said provocatively, "I think you should just pretend to agree generously, so I don't have to tell the senior and make him angry about your behavior."

"Wen Zhining!" Jia Meimei shouted.

Wen Zhining took a few steps back. "Since you're not willing, senior, then I'll stay away from you."

"Oh, senior is calling." Wen Zhining picked up the phone that Duan Nianshu had just called.

He waved his hand in front of Jia Meimei, then answered the call, "Senior."

She turned on the speakerphone, and Jia Meimei could clearly hear Duan Nianshu's particularly gentle voice on the other end:

"Junior, have you decided which club you want to join?"

"Or join the student council?" His voice was full of probing.

"I shouldn't be in the student council..."

Before Wen Zhining could finish speaking, Jia Meimei quickly pressed her phone, "Nian Shu, the junior wants to join the student council, so we can interview her together."

"Really?" Duan Nianshu's voice was a little calmer. "But I just heard my junior say something like 'it shouldn't be anything,' what does that mean?"

Fearing that Duan Nianshu would think she was bullying Wen Zhining again, Jia Meimei comforted Wen Zhining and kissed her. She then said in a panic:

"She meant that she probably wouldn't skip the student council meeting, since I'll be there for you and her."

"Junior, is that right?" Duan Nianshu asked Wen Zhining.

Wen Zhining chuckled and, under Jia Meimei's pleading gaze, replied, "Yeah, my senior has been super nice lately."

"Okay, then turn off the speakerphone, junior. I want to talk to you alone. You've finally finished military training, so get some rest."

Wen Zhining turned off the speakerphone, climbed into bed, and said, "If that's the case, you shouldn't have called me. It's obviously keeping me from resting."

Duan Nianshu's voice could no longer be heard by Meimei. She looked regretfully at the bed with the curtains closed.

You can hear her voice from there.

"Making a phone call is also a way to relax. Don't you want to talk to me, junior?"

"Not only is my junior sister cold towards me, but she also hasn't been playing games with me lately, and she doesn't mention stealing my vegetables anymore." Duan Nianshu deliberately enunciated clearly, as if afraid she wouldn't hear him.

"Isn't it busy when school starts?" Wen Zhining lay on the bed, suddenly pulled back the bed curtains, and instructed Jia Meimei below.

"Senior, could you bring up the milk tea from downstairs so I can have a sip?"

Jia Meimei hesitated for a moment, then handed over the milk tea from the table.

"Since my senior is managing my account and rating me, I can trust him. Besides, we're even in a romantic relationship," Wen Zhining said casually, taking a sip of the milk tea before handing it back to him.

Upon hearing this, Jia Meimei was momentarily stunned, and the milk tea spilled directly onto her.

"ah--"

Jia Meimei backed away, but it was too late. Her clothes were covered in sticky tapioca pearls and smelled strongly of milk tea.

"What was that sound?" Duan Nianshu asked. "Are you alright? Did Jia Meimei bully you?"

"No, she didn't hold my milk tea properly and it spilled all over her clothes," Wen Zhining said apologetically.

"Senior, should I get out of bed and check on her?"

"No need." Duan Nianshu stopped her from hanging up. "She didn't hold it properly; she's a senior student, so she handled it herself."

"Let me order you another drink first, hmm..." He seemed to be opening a food delivery app, thinking for a moment.

"I'll order you a medium drink, don't drink too much. We'll go out to eat later, there's a new hot pot restaurant that just opened, do you like it?"

"I like her, but doesn't the senior need to be busy with recruitment?" Wen Zhining worriedly asked. "Don't let your department say that the junior has snatched you away and you're neglecting your duties."

Upon hearing these words that caught him completely off guard, Duan Nianshu's breath hitched, and his hand gripping the phone turned white from the force, clearly hearing his heart pounding like a drum.

He was so shocked that he was afraid Wen Zhining could hear it.

Duan Nianshu clutched his heart, not understanding what was wrong with him lately.

Why do I get heart problems whenever I see a female student?

He lowered his eyes, his thin lips moved slightly, and his voice was exceptionally pleasant and clear.

After leaving school that evening, Wen Zhining had hot pot with Duan Nianshu, took a picture, and posted it on her WeChat Moments.

When Duan Nianshu returned to school, he glanced at his phone and found that most of his packages had arrived.

"Junior, would you like to come with me to pick up a package?"

Wen Zhining nodded.

Wen Zhining, who had initially thought there was only one package, couldn't help but speak up when she saw him carrying so many bags that he had to borrow a trolley:

"Senior, I didn't know you had such a strong shopping desire."

The car was pushed to the campus pavilion, where the scenery was beautiful. Many students would come here from time to time to sit and chat. When the leaves fell, they brought a gentle coolness.

The two sat down, and Duan Nianshu opened each package and presented it to her.

He wasn't a shopaholic; he was just picking things out because he wanted to buy them for her, wanting to give her everything he thought she would like.

"This is a fan I bought for you." He took out a small fan and blew it on her. "How is it? Is the wind power suitable?"

"That's fine." Wen Zhining, whose hair was disheveled by the wind, told him to turn it off quickly.

"Look, your hair is all messed up by the wind. Do you need this?" He proudly showed off the hair tie he had bought.

The hair ties were of different colors and were placed in jars.

"And these are clothes, I bought them for you, pink, white, blue, tops, pants, skirts, you can wear whichever you like."

"These are shoes; they're more comfortable to wear when running in PE class."

"These are cosmetics. I don't know much about them, so I just bought them based on what I read online. I didn't think you needed them, but I saw that you had some when I was packing, so I bought them for you."

He took out a lot of things, all of which he bought for her, and introduced them to her one by one.

"This is the last one." Duan Nianshu took out the last item, unpacked the express delivery, and revealed a box from a well-known brand inside.

He opened it and showed it to Wen Zhining.

Inside was a sparkling necklace.

It looks expensive.

He stood up, holding the necklace, intending to put it on her.

Wen Zhining looked up at him but didn't stop him.

He stood in front of her, carefully and attentively putting the necklace on her, his fingertips caressing the back of her neck, and smoothing her hair.

Wen Zhining looked down at the necklace she was wearing, then looked at the person standing in front of her, feeling that it wasn't enough and that she wanted to give her the best.

"My senior is so kind to me, so I should reciprocate by giving him a gift."

"I just don't know if you want it, senior."
