The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

The electric scooter sped along and finally stopped at the fence next to the pavilion.

Qi Yu had been waiting inside the fence for quite some time.

"Brother Xu, what delicious food did you make today?"

Qi Yu stood up, rubbed his hands together, and walked forward with a smile, taking the food through the gap in the fence.

"Beef noodles, there's no takeout order label, don't get them mixed up, there are two bowls of extra spicy."

Xu Nian carefully handed in several bowls of beef noodles, giving instructions as she did so.

"Don't worry, my eyes are like a ruler."

Qi Yu chuckled and sorted the beef noodle orders and other takeout orders from various vendors by building number.

"Huh? This looks like it's from outside the school."

He picked out one of the documents, looked at the address on it, and called out to Xu Nian.

"Brother Xu, take this food from outside the school. Please note 'urgent, urgent, urgent' and deliver it quickly."

"understood."

Xu Nian took the off-campus meal, silently read the address on the takeout order, got on her electric bike, and rode across the street.

The roads near Yunnan University still have relatively high traffic volume.

Furthermore, because the roads here are wide and there are few intersections, the speed of passing vehicles is not low.

Xu Nian cautiously looked left and right, and only after confirming that there were no vehicles did she speed up and cross the road.

The delivery address for this takeout order is in a residential area two streets away from Yunnan University.

This residential complex is quite old; the paint on the exterior walls of the buildings is peeling off in patches, and the internal roads are full of potholes and lack maintenance.

The weeds in the flower bed grew wildly and unchecked, some even taller than Xu Nian.

Xu Nian stopped in front of a building, pushed open the creaking unit door, and ran up the stairs.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Hello, your takeout has arrived."

The woman who opened the door had disheveled hair. She frowned and pointed at Xu Nian, cursing.

"Didn't I tell you not to knock and just leave it at the door? Are you blind?!"

Xu Nian was slightly taken aback and looked at the notes on the order.

The message only had three words written on it: Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!

"You didn't say not to knock, did you?"

He placed the takeout order in front of the woman and pointed to the contents.

The woman glared at him fiercely, snatched the takeout, and slammed the door shut.

What a strange person.

Xu Nian muttered to herself, then turned and went downstairs.

......

8 PM, School of Business Administration, teaching building.

The moment the bell rang, Xu Xi dashed out of the classroom like an arrow released from a bow.

She hadn't seen her brother for a day and a half, and she felt like ants were crawling all over her body; she was extremely uncomfortable.

The only thing I want to do right now is to snuggle into my brother's arms and be kissed, hugged, and lifted high by him.

And the taxes that weren't collected yesterday, we need to get them back with interest.

"Xi Bao! Help! It's an emergency!"

Wen Yao and Zhao Lin appeared beside her mysteriously, just like yesterday, each taking one of her arms.

"What are you doing?!"

Xu Xi was lifted into the air, her two little feet in tall boots waving back and forth in the air.

"Waaaah... Final exams are coming up soon, and Linlin and I haven't studied much this semester. I'm afraid we're going to fail..."

"Hehe... Xi Bao, you don't want your best friends to fail their exams, right... hehe..."

"Don't go home tonight, help us with our studies!"

"Tomorrow... I don't have classes tomorrow afternoon, so I can tutor you guys."

"Damn! I'm going on a date with Bowen tomorrow afternoon."

"Then how about the day after tomorrow? There aren't many classes then."

"Um... I'd like to go for a walk with Ayu the day after tomorrow."

"Aaaaaah!..."

......

In the end, Xu Xi couldn't resist the two girls' persistent pleas and spent the whole night in the dormitory explaining the knowledge points to them.

After the dormitory was sealed off, the girl lay on her bed again, feeling extremely depressed.

Another day without seeing my brother...

She didn't know that this was just the beginning of her frustration.

She didn't see her brother again for the next week.

Today, there was a service problem at Xiaoxi Cafeteria; tomorrow, I'll be called upon by the teacher for a simulated business management training session; the day after tomorrow, Wen Yao will drag me along to be a photography model; and the day after that, Zhao Lin will be so scared after watching a horror movie that she can't sleep and insists that Xu Xi sleep with her for the night...

Every day, there are reasons that she can't refuse to stay overnight in the dormitory.

Xu Xi vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Whenever she mentions wanting to find her brother, different kinds of trouble will come her way.

Moreover, it seems that Wen Yao and Zhao Lin are behind every incident...

......

"Xi Bao, it's the weekend tomorrow, shall we go shopping in the city?"

"I'm not going!"

"Xu Xi, how about we go to Xiaoshan City for some fun?"

"I'm not going!"

Squatting on the soft bed, Xu Xi curled up, hugged her thighs, faced the wall, and trembled slightly.

She was in very poor condition; her eyes were bloodshot and her eye sockets were dark.

My hair is a mess; I haven't styled it for days. There's probably enough oil on it to fry a whole dish.

My lips were extremely dry, bloodless, and slightly cracked.

Wen Yao frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Zhao Lin, and the two exchanged glances.

Zhao Lin: Maybe we should just forget about it. Xu Xi is in such a bad state right now, like she's seriously ill. I'm afraid something might really happen to her.

Wen Yao: No! The stronger the reaction, the deeper you're trapped. Xi Bao is like someone who's just started quitting drugs and is experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

Zhao Lin: But... I'm worried about her health. Maybe we should wait a couple of days before continuing. There needs to be an adjustment period.

Wen Yao shook her head: Absolutely not! If we give up, all our previous efforts will be wasted. Seeing Xi Bao like this makes me very sad, but compared to her future happiness, we must help her quit completely! Think about it, if Xi Bao really gets together with Xu Nian, how will she face other people's opinions in the future?

Zhao Lin sighed: "...Okay, but this can't go on like this. You're still putting a signal jammer in the dorm to prevent Xu Xi from sending messages to her brother. This is only a temporary solution and may drive Xu Xi crazy. If she insists on leaving, how are we supposed to stop her?"

Wen Yao pondered for a long time.

Indeed, Zhao Lin makes a lot of sense.

Xu Xi had always deeply loved Xu Nian in her heart.

By deliberately preventing them from contacting each other, we can prevent that distorted love from dissipating.

On the contrary, the separation will make Xu Xi miss her brother even more.

Just like weeding, if you cut it in half, new shoots will sprout again in no time.

Only by thoroughly removing the grass roots buried deep in the ground can we prevent such dangerous ideas from arising once and for all.

How can we eliminate this problem completely?

Wen Yao thought it over and over, tossing and turning in bed, leaving wrinkles on the sheets as she lay there.

Finally, she suddenly remembered something, sat up abruptly, and winked at Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin raised an eyebrow: You've come up with a good idea?

Wen Yao blinked: Since Xu Nian's position in Xi Bao's heart is unshakable, then let's find a way to replace him and let someone else into Xi Bao's heart.

Zhao Lin's lips twitched: You mean...

Wen Yao nodded seriously: That's right! Make Xi Bao fall in love with another boy!
