Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

He leaned forward and asked in a low voice:

"How did the chat go?"

Lu Xing remained calm:

"Let's just chat normally."

Lin Yuanzhou smiled meaningfully:

"Looks like the conversation went well!"

Lu Xing didn't respond further, but picked up his phone to reply to Shen Qingyi:

[Lu Xing: Goodnight.]

After sending the message, he put his phone aside to charge.

Lin Yuanzhou was still watching him from the bed.

Lu Xing glanced at him.

If you keep looking at me like that, I'll think you like me.

Lin Yuanzhou immediately showed a look of horror.

"No, my sexual orientation is perfectly normal."

Lu Xing nodded.

"Then go to sleep."

Lin Yuanzhou smiled, seemingly wanting to make a few more teasing remarks.

But when he was about to speak, he suddenly fell silent.

The dormitory light fell on his face, making his always smiling eyes appear somewhat faint.

Lu Xing turned around.

He keenly noticed that Lin Yuanzhou's expression had changed.

He sat on the bed and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, as if joking, he said softly:

"Land journey".

Lu Xing looked up at him.

"Um?"

Lin Yuanzhou smiled slightly, his tone still relaxed.

But there was an indescribable sense of loneliness in those eyes.

"If you really have the chance, you must seize it."

"Otherwise you'll regret it."

The dormitory fell silent.

Even the sound of the air conditioner fan blades turning became clearer.

Zhao Lin turned over in his sleep, mumbled a sound, and then fell silent again.

Everyone has stories they don't want to tell.

Lin Yuanzhou is too outgoing during the day.

So extroverted that it's easy to overlook...

He is also a human being; he has experiences and regrets.

Lu Xing did not ask any further questions.

He only looked at Lin Yuanzhou for a few seconds, then nodded.

"understood."

Lin Yuanzhou seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled again.

"Haha, I was just saying."

Lu walked to the door and turned off the dormitory lights.

With a snap, the bright white light went out.

Only the faint darkness of night filtering in through the window remained in the dormitory.

Lu Xing walked to his bedside, his tone calm but with a hint of a smile.

"Do you need to tell me?"

He knew too little about this school beauty to be sure whether Shen Qingyi had ulterior motives.

What if I find myself being set up in a honey trap?

His family couldn't handle much change; his parents were still waiting for him to succeed and show off...

Thinking of this, Lu Xing shook his head, trying to shake these messy thoughts out of his mind.

"Time for bed, I have the freshman orientation and class meeting tomorrow."

In the darkness, Lin Yuanzhou chuckled softly.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now."

Lu Xing climbed into bed and pulled back the covers.

Zhao Lin, perhaps disturbed by the noise, mumbled something in a daze:

"Let's hold a trade fair..."

Lin Yuanzhou almost burst out laughing, and Lu Xing couldn't help but smile slightly.

A gentle night breeze blew past the window.

If the other party is sincere...

He's not the kind of person who gives up easily.

No matter what it is, you have to put in the effort to get it.

Lu Xing always strives to get what he truly wants.

Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory.

Shen Qingyi stared at the last "Goodnight" message that popped up in the chat box, her fingertips hovering over the screen for a long time without moving.

The bed curtains create a small, quiet space.

There was no further movement from Xu Zhixia and Tang Xiaoman, only a faint light from a cell phone occasionally peeked through Han Shuyan's bed curtains.

Shen Qingyi leaned against the pillow, the light from her phone screen reflecting on her face.

She looked at Lu Xing's silly self-introduction.

My name is Lu Xing, and I'm a freshman in the School of Computer Science.

It was just a very ordinary sentence.

But as Shen Qingyi watched, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

Lu the Fool, we meet again.

So silly...

Still so naive!

But he doesn't remember her.

Shen Qingyi already knew this.

From the moment their eyes met for the first time at the hot pot restaurant, she had already made up her mind.

Lu Xing looked at her with confusion and surprise in his eyes.

But they never met again.

It was neither lost nor recovered.

Unlike her, no one was almost overwhelmed by the surging emotions.

She was always very familiar with Lu Xing.

She knew him so well that she could recognize him at a glance, even through a crowd.

We called him by his name back then, not because his roommate had called him that.

She already knew he was Lu Xing; it was a name she had repeated countless times in her heart.

Even if I were ten years younger, I could go back to junior high or elementary school.

Even if his features hadn't fully developed yet, and his voice still carried the immaturity of a young man, she would definitely recognize him.

Shen Qingyi took a soft breath.

My eyes stung slightly, yet I couldn't help but want to laugh.

She stared at the chat box for a long time.

It wasn't until the time on the screen had skipped past 11:40 that I finally reluctantly turned off my phone.

Darkness descended once more.

Shen Qingyi placed her phone beside her pillow, lay flat on the bed, and prepared to sleep.

But just as she closed her eyes, an important detail that she had overlooked suddenly flashed through her mind.

Lin Yuanzhou.

Shen Qingyi slowly opened her eyes again.

She knew Lin Yuanzhou.

In his previous life, Lin Yuanzhou was not a particularly famous or influential figure at Jiangcheng University.

But he is by no means an unknown person.

He is very sociable, outgoing, and has excellent interpersonal skills.

Moreover, this person has no dark history.

Whether it's their relationship as classmates or later comments within alumni circles, when Lin Yuanzhou is mentioned, most people will say one thing:

This person is good at interpersonal relationships and quite reliable.

That's why even Shen Qingyi, who didn't pay much attention to others, had heard about him from other people.

but……

Shen Qingyi's brows furrowed little by little.

She remembers it very clearly.

In their previous lives, Lu Xing and Lin Yuanzhou shouldn't have had much contact.

At least in the records she knew, Lu Xing's university life did not include this person.

They shouldn't be roommates...

They shouldn't have met in the first place.

But in this life, Lin Yuanzhou seems to have become his roommate.

Everything was different from what she remembered.

Is it the butterfly effect?

Could it be because she came back?

The originally predetermined trajectory...

Has the situation already quietly shifted since the first day of school?

The slight relief and sweetness in Shen Qingyi's heart were gradually covered by layers of unease.

She is not afraid of change... she even hopes that many things can change.

But she was also afraid that some changes would get out of control and develop in a direction she couldn't see.

In the darkness, Shen Qingyi gently gripped the corner of the blanket.

I spent the day reporting for duty and packing my luggage, and the nights were filled with emotional ups and downs.

Her body was already extremely exhausted.

Those thoughts churned in my mind, gradually becoming blurred, and sleepiness washed over me like a tide.

Shen Qingyi's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Finally, she succumbed to sleepiness and slowly closed her eyes.
