Oh no! I've only been a freshman and I've already been targeted by a mean upperclassman.

Li Chen weaved through the crowded students leaving get out of class and headed straight for Building A.

The sunlight was just right, casting dappled shadows on the ground through the leaves of the camphor trees lining the road.

He could feel that many eyes were on him.

There was curiosity, envy, and jealousy.

Since the two incidents involving the basketball game and the martial arts club, the name "Li Shen" has spread throughout Linjiang University.

Furthermore, with his relationship with Yan Xi becoming public knowledge, he practically became a prominent figure on campus.

In the past, Li Chen might have felt uncomfortable.

But now, he feels very calm.

Because he knew that his light shone in the direction he was heading.

At the entrance of the teaching building, Yan Xi was leaning against a tree, looking down at her phone.

Today she wore a beige trench coat, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her cool and aloof demeanor contrasted sharply with the noisy surroundings, making her a sight to behold.

"Have you been waiting long?"

Li Chen walked up to her.

Yan Xi looked up and saw it was him; her eyes softened instantly.

"No, I just came out."

She put away her phone and naturally took Li Chen's arm.

"Let's go, I'm hungry."

"Um."

The two walked side by side toward the cafeteria.

This group, no matter where they appear on campus, will immediately become the center of attention.

Second floor of the cafeteria.

A long queue formed in front of the Mala Xiangguo (spicy stir-fry) window.

"You go find a seat, I'll wait in line."

Li Chen said to Yan Xi.

"it is good."

Yan Xi didn't stand on ceremony with him and turned to sit down by the window.

Li Chen stood in line, took out his phone, and opened the memo app.

The document contains detailed records of Yan Xi's taste preferences.

I don't eat scallions, cilantro, or celery.

I like enoki mushrooms, wide rice noodles, and luncheon meat.

Mildly spicy, with less numbing and oil.

These are things he observed and remembered unintentionally in his daily life.

When it was his turn, Li Chen skillfully held the basin and tongs, accurately selecting the ingredients.

Even the auntie in charge of boiling the vegetables couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times.

"Young man, did you choose this for your girlfriend? That's so thoughtful."

Li Chen smiled but didn't say anything.

When the hot pot was ready, he gave one more instruction.

"Auntie, please don't add cilantro and chopped green onions, thank you."

"Okay."

Li Chen carried a large bowl of steaming hot pot and bought two cups of freshly squeezed juice before heading towards Yan Xi.

Yan Xi looked at the glass of watermelon juice in front of him and raised an eyebrow.

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

He picked up his glass of watermelon juice, took a big gulp, and then held it to Yan Xi's lips.

"Here you are."

Yan Xi smiled with satisfaction and took a puff from his hand.

"Mmm, it's sweet."

The students at the surrounding tables were completely stunned.

"Holy crap, isn't that Li Shen and Senior Yan?"

"They actually ate in the cafeteria?"

"The worst part is, they even share a single straw! I'm dead!"

"Stop taking pictures, stop taking pictures! Be careful, you might get killed by Senior Yan's gaze."

Li Chen and Yan Xi paid no attention to the discussions around them.

Li Chen picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of luncheon meat from the bowl, blew on it, and then put it into Yan Xi's bowl.

"Try it and see how it tastes."

Yan Xi picked it up and ate it in small bites.

"good."

She said it was alright, but she didn't slow down the frequency of picking up food.

Seeing her satisfied expression, Li Chen also felt a strong urge to eat.

He didn't eat much himself; he spent most of his time serving food to Yan Xi.

Pick out the green peppers she doesn't like and pile the enoki mushrooms she loves into her bowl.

The movements were so natural, as if they had done them a thousand times.

After finishing the meal, a large pot of spicy stir-fry was almost empty.

"Are you full?" Li Chen asked.

"Hmm." Yan Xi leaned back in her chair and rubbed her stomach. "I'm a little full."

"Let's take a walk to digest our food."

Li Chen stood up and cleared away the plates.

The two walked out of the cafeteria and strolled aimlessly around the campus.

"Do you have classes this afternoon?" Yan Xi asked.

No classes.

"Then... come with me somewhere?"

"Where to?"

"Student council office," Yan Xi sighed. "It's almost the end of the year, and there's a mountain of documents to process."

"it is good."

Li Chen agreed without hesitation.

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Chen returned to dormitory 302.

Wang Qiang and Zhao Zixuan were lying on the bed, seemingly lifeless, while Chen Mo was reading a book below.

"Hey, our great Casanova Li is back?"

Wang Qiang spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Did you enjoy your lunch?

Zhao Zixuan also chimed in.

"fragrant."

Li Chen threw the few bottles of cola he had bought on the way onto their bed.

"These are for you."

Wang Qiang sat up with a jolt, unscrewed the can of cola, and took a big gulp.

"At least you still have some conscience."

"Third brother, what are we doing this afternoon? Playing games?" Zhao Zixuan asked.

"No, I have to go keep my senior company."

"puff--"

Wang Qiang almost spat out the cola he had just drunk.

"Going again?! Are you trying to stick to your senior like glue?!"

"There's no way around it, my family is very strict."

Li Chen shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"Her Majesty has given the order, and I, her humble servant, dare not disobey."

"roll!"

The three of them cursed in unison.

However, plans can't keep up with changes.

Just as Li Chen was about to leave, he received a call from Yan Xi.

"Hey, Xixi."

"Li Chen, I've cancelled my meeting this afternoon. You don't need to go to the student council."

"Really? That's great."

"Well, if you're free this afternoon, you should rest well in your dorm."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen was still a little dazed.

Happiness came so suddenly.

As soon as he turned around, he met three pairs of eyes with ill intentions.

"Hehehe..."

Wang Qiang let out the laugh typical of villains.

"Third brother, I think I just heard that senior sister has something to do this afternoon and can't come?"

Li Chen's heart skipped a beat.

He predicted what would happen next.

run!

However, it was too late.

Wang Qiang and Zhao Zixuan, one on each side, lifted him up like two mountains.

"Run? Too late!"

"You're not going anywhere this afternoon!"

Chen Mo calmly closed the dormitory door and locked it from the inside.

"According to the law of conservation of energy, the amount of affection you show in the morning will determine the price you pay in the afternoon."

He pushed up his glasses and took out his phone.

"Come on, let's play a five-man squad. Nobody gets to sleep until we reach the King rank today!"

Looking at his three roommates, who were as fierce as wolves, Li Chen let out a desperate wail.

"No--"

The wails were drowned out by the loud sound effects of "Timi".
