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

When the two returned to school, it was already completely dark.

One by one, the streetlights on campus lit up, their pale yellow light spreading across the main road and softening the night.

Lu Xing escorted Shen Qingyi to the girls' dormitory building.

The two had already let go of each other's hands.

It wasn't that Lu Xing loosened his grip on his own initiative.

However, when they were almost at the girls' dormitory, Shen Qingyi gently withdrew her hand.

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

People come and go downstairs in the dormitory building, and quite a few people already know Shen Qingyi.

Since the two haven't officially started dating, she naturally knows how to maintain appropriate boundaries.

The girl stood in front of the dormitory building, holding a half-finished cup of milk tea in her hand.

She looked up at Lu Xing, her eyes shining brightly under the light.

"Then I'll go up."

Lu Xing nodded.

"Okay, get some rest."

As soon as he said it, he felt that his words were somewhat ordinary.

I really want to say something else, but I don't know what to say for the moment.

Lu Xing racked his brains and added:

"Don't drink too much milk tea at night, or you might not be able to sleep."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them again.

Sigh, he has such a strong fatherly vibe...

Shen Qingyi blinked, then suddenly smiled:

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

When she smiles, her eyes curve into a beautiful arc.

Lu Xing's heart skipped a beat when she looked at him.

He looked away and coughed lightly.

"Hurry up and go up."

Shen Qingyi did not move immediately.

She stood there and looked at him for two seconds, as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, she simply pursed her lips and nodded, saying:

"Then...bye-bye?"

Lu Xing was taken aback.

Was she trying to say something just now?

"Okay, bye-bye."

Shen Qingyi then turned and walked into the dormitory building.

As she walked into the hall, she glanced back at Lu Xing.

Lu Xing stood downstairs, not leaving immediately.

He only slowly looked away after seeing the girl's figure disappear at the top of the stairs.

Lu Xing paused for a few seconds before turning around and walking towards the dormitory.

Unbeknownst to Lu Xing, Shen Qingyi quietly peeked out again.

She stood in a rather inconspicuous corner, quietly watching the direction Lu Xing had left in.

The boy's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

She passed through the light and shadow under the streetlights, through the passing crowds, until finally blurring into her vision.

Shen Qingyi watched him walk away, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

She pursed her lips.

There were a few tears in her eyes, glistening slightly in the lamplight.

After a while, she casually wiped it with her hand, then turned and left.

------

When Lu Xing returned to his dormitory, he was met with three pairs of eyes as soon as he opened the door.

Lin Yuanzhou sat in a chair with his arms crossed, his expression as serious as if he were about to go to court.

Zhao Lin sat on the edge of the bed, a lollipop dangling from his mouth, his eyes filled with the look of someone watching the drama unfold.

Zhou Lianben was tidying up his things at the table when he heard the door open and looked over.

As soon as Lu Xing entered the dormitory, Lin Yuanzhou slammed his hand on the table.

"Land journey!"

Lu Xing paused in his steps.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Yuanzhou squinted and looked him up and down.

"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!"

Lu Xing: "?"

Lin Yuanzhou held up one finger, his tone heavy with sorrow:

"Tell me! Where did you go gallivanting tonight?"

"Do you know that tonight was supposed to be the first meal for all of us in dormitory 317?!"

"What an important, sacred, and memorable meal this is!"

"And the result?"

Lin Yuanzhou pointed at Lu Xing, his face contorted with grief and indignation.

"You, Lu Xing, actually abandoned the organization!"

Zhao Lin nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it's a very serious matter."

Lin Yuanzhou continued his accusations:

Do you know how sad it was when the three of us ate together?

Zhao Lin thought for a moment and then said very honestly:

"It's alright, that braised chicken is pretty good."

Lin Yuanzhou turned his head and glared at him.

"Little mouth!"

Zhao Lin shrugged and continued sucking on his lollipop.

Lu Xing put the lemon tea on the table and slumped into his chair.

The moment he sat down, he belatedly realized how tired he was.

It wasn't entirely physical fatigue, but rather mental fatigue that made up the majority of it.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Yuanzhou immediately moved closer.

"No, you're still pretending to be silent, aren't you?"

"Comrade Lu Xing, I advise you to confess honestly."

"The organization has gathered a large amount of evidence."

Lu Xing remained silent for a few seconds, and the image of the girl's upturned lips reappeared in his mind.

You can lie to others about some things, but lying to yourself is just ridiculous.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Yuanzhou.

"I'm going to have dinner with Shen Qingyi."

The dormitory was quiet for a moment.

A few seconds later, Lin Yuanzhou slowly turned his head and glanced at Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin also glanced at Lin Yuanzhou.

The two exchanged a silent glance in the air.

Lin Yuanzhou: Did you hear that?

Zhao Lin: I heard you.

Lin Yuanzhou: He spoke so frankly.

Zhao Lin: Something's not right...

Zhou Lian was also somewhat surprised.

During dinner tonight, Lin Yuanzhou had already told him about Lu Xing's "great achievements".

He spoke with great enthusiasm, almost describing Lu Xing as a model of a comeback story.

Do you know what it means to achieve a huge return on a small investment?

"That's what you call achieving big results with small investments!"

"Lu Xing isn't ugly, but to say he's handsome enough to be a campus heartthrob or a celebrity would be an understatement."

"But he actually managed to get Shen Qingyi to seek him out!"

Zhou Lian was stunned when he heard this.

Hearing Lu Xing admit that he had gone to dinner with someone, Zhou Lian naturally couldn't help but become curious.

After a brief moment of shock, Lin Yuanzhou's attitude changed completely.

His originally serious expression softened instantly, and he even rubbed his hands together, smiling in a particularly ambiguous way.

"oops."

Lin Yuanzhou dragged the chair and moved directly next to Lu Xing.

The chair leg scraped against the ground with a screech, and Lu Xing's brow twitched at the sound.

What are you doing?

Lin Yuanzhou sat down next to him and raised an eyebrow:

"If you went to have dinner with Shen Qingyi, then it's not your fault."

He reached out and patted Lu Xing on the shoulder, saying earnestly:

"After all, a brother's happiness is also very important!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xing surprisingly did not refute it.

He simply leaned back in his chair, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded:

"Um."

Lin Yuanzhou's gesture of patting the shoulder froze in mid-air.

Lu Xing raised his eyes and looked at the three people in the dormitory.

His tone was not agitated, even somewhat calm:

"Happiness is indeed very important."

Lin Yuanzhou: "?"

Zhao Lin: "?"

Lu Xing, seemingly oblivious to their expressions, added:

"If you meet a girl you like, it's best to take the initiative."

From the freshman orientation onwards, the girl gradually drew closer to him.

Every step was taken in moderation.

Yet every step he took landed precisely in a position he could accept and could not refuse.

Shen Qingyi, that mind-reading girl, has most likely figured out his heart completely.

That's terrifying...

Lin Yuanzhou and Zhao Lin exchanged another glance, and this time they truly felt that something was wrong.

Normally, Lu Xing would most likely have retorted.

Or they might pretend not to understand, or simply gloss over the topic.

But today Lu Xing actually admitted it!

Something must have happened...

Zhao Lin immediately gave Lin Yuanzhou a sharp look.

Lin Yuanzhou received the signal and nodded solemnly.

As the dormitory's external communication minister and also the person in charge of internal gossip...

He felt he had to take on the responsibility of uncovering the truth!

Lin Yuanzhou coughed lightly twice, his expression softening:

"Um, Lu Xing."

Lu Xing glanced at him.

"Speak your mind."

Lin Yuanzhou said with a smile:

"It's nothing, it's just that your brothers are concerned about you."

"How was your meal with Shen Qingyi tonight?"

"Has anything happened?"

For example—

He deliberately dragged out the sound.

"Did you have a pleasant conversation at the dinner table? Was the atmosphere on the way home ambiguous? Or did you accidentally touch hands or something?"

Zhao Lin added from the side:

"It might not have been an accident."

Lin Yuanzhou nodded immediately.

"Yes, it might not have been an accident."

Lu Xing: "..."

You two are quite good at guessing.

Lin Yuanzhou continued to patiently guide him.

"You can speak up and let everyone give you some advice."

"Although our dormitory has not been established for long, it has already developed a valuable and excellent tradition."

Lu Xing asked:

"What tradition?"

Lin Yuanzhou said in a serious tone:

"Brothers, if you have something to share, you must share it!"

Zhao Lin nodded.

"I agree."

It would be better to destroy this evil tradition.

Lu Xing leaned back in his chair and thought for a while.

He knew what Lin Yuanzhou wanted to hear.

If I told them what happened tonight, the guys in the dorm would probably explode on the spot.

Especially the fact that Shen Qingyi took the initiative to hold his hand.

If Lin Yuanzhou knew this, he would probably perform a spiral ascension to heaven in his dormitory.

Lu Xing didn't want to say these things out loud; girls have to be proud.

Although Shen Qingyi acted very proactively and naturally in front of him.

But this doesn't mean Lu Xing can brag about these things everywhere.

Moreover...

Lu Xing was now very clear in his mind that he didn't want others to know what Shen Qingyi looked like.

At least for now...

That cute and playful side of hers belongs only to him.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Lin Yuanzhou's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Silence!"

"Look, he's silent!"

Zhao Lin immediately replied:

"Is something really going on?"

Lin Yuanzhou moved even closer.

"Lu Xing, be honest, did you hold hands?"

Lu Xing's eyelids twitched.

How could this person hit the target with a blind shot?

He said without changing his expression:

"I ate a bowl of noodles, drank a cup of lemon tea, and then took her back to her dorm."

Lin Yuanzhou squinted.

"That's all?"

Lu Xing asked in return:

"Otherwise what?"

Lin Yuanzhou stroked his chin.

"That sounds normal."

Zhao Lin said:

"It's too normal, that's abnormal."

Lin Yuanzhou nodded in deep agreement.

That makes sense.

Lu Xing was too lazy to pay them any attention.

He picked up the lemon tea on the table and glanced down at it.

The water droplets on the glass have decreased, but the label is still there.

50% sugar, less ice.

Lu Xing stared at the line of text for a while, his mind gradually becoming complicated.

wrong……

It's a monster! It's definitely a monster!

Not only can it read minds, it can also steal his memories...

Could he be a deity descended to earth?

Perhaps she knew he was reborn, which is why she took the initiative to approach him.

But now it seems he has really fallen for Shen Qingyi.

Lu Xing let out a soft breath.

Love at first sight, lust at first sight.

But if you like it, you like it...

It's not illegal!

Isn't she just a vixen?

There are precedents in those novels. He is now half a scholar, so why can't he give it a try?

Feng's, bottoms up!

Since we've been given a second chance in this life, we can't possibly not even have the courage to admit that we like someone, right?

The problem is—

Shen Qingyi is too special.

There was absolutely no experience to draw upon for this special case of land travel.

Although he was reborn, rebirth does not mean that his love experience will automatically level up.

Lu Xing's romantic life is practically barren.

In my past life, besides work, I spent every day working overtime. When I occasionally thought about university, all I could think about was wasting my days playing games...

He really doesn't know how to pursue girls.

Lin Yuanzhou was still probing from the side.

"Lu Xing, don't just drink."

Tell me about it.

"Has Shen Qingyi shown you even the slightest... special treatment?"

Lu Xing put down his lemon tea.

He looked at Lin Yuanzhou, then at Zhao Lin and Zhou Lian.

All three people's eyes were on him.

Lu Xing remained silent for a while, as if he was seriously weighing something.

Lin Yuanzhou was secretly delighted.

coming!

I am finally coming!

Zhao Lin also sat up straight.

The dormitory fell silent for a brief moment.

A few seconds later, Lu Xing spoke.

He looked at Lin Yuanzhou, his tone a mixture of seriousness and confusion, and asked:

"I think I really like Shen Qingyi right now."

"What's the best way to pursue her?"
