Dragon Clan: Starting with the Azure Dragon Fruit

Unusually, Nono didn't refute. Normally, this little witch, who never wanted to lose a verbal argument, would have pounced on her and tickled her.

But now she simply buried her burning cheeks deeper into the pillow, listening to the still-beating heart in her chest.

The night breeze on the mountaintop last night, the long kiss carrying her body's warmth, and the word "boyfriend" that slipped out this morning all left her unable to calm down for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, the exhilarating feeling of walking on clouds gradually subsided, and another unfamiliar emotion quietly welled up inside.

When she first entered into an intimate relationship and needed to nurture it, she discovered that it was a complete blind spot for her.

Nono slowly turned over and lay flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling above her head, her eyes showing a hint of helplessness.

"Susie, tell me... what do you do after you start dating? Hold hands, watch a movie, have dinner... and then what?"

She bit her lip and lowered her voice: "I can't just start doing those lewd things after only a couple of days, can I? I... I'm not ready yet."

Susie chuckled and poked Nono's smooth forehead with her index finger.

"What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day? Normal people don't fall in love that fast."

"How long does it usually take?" Nono asked, rubbing her forehead.

This question stumped Susie, who had never been in a relationship before. She could only give a vague answer: "Just let things happen naturally. Is this your first time dating?"

Nuonuo, who had been called out, immediately sat up and said in a serious tone, "How could that be? I'm the most mature of all, I've been dating since kindergarten."

"Kindergarten?" Susie exclaimed in surprise.

“Of course.” Nono got more and more excited as she saw Susie’s cooperation.

"Back then, I stood on the podium in kindergarten, pointed at a row of little boys, and announced, 'From today onwards, you are all my boyfriends. From now on, you will all listen to me. Anyone who disobeys will be kicked out of the group.'"

After saying that, she smiled smugly, revealing her beautiful teeth.

Susie stopped talking and gave her a 'I'll just watch you show off' look.

Nono felt her gaze fixed on her for a while, and her feigned confidence quickly crumbled.

She moved closer and nudged Susie with her elbow: "So tell me, what's next after you start dating?"

Nono stood up rather abruptly, and her slightly loose sleeves slipped down, revealing her collarbone and a large expanse of snow-white skin.

Susie sighed helplessly as she looked at her roommate, who was beautiful but clueless about relationships, and gently helped her pull her collar back up.

“Since you’ve asked so sincerely, I’ll reluctantly tell you,” Susie cleared her throat.

"Listen carefully, after a normal romantic relationship is confirmed, you should introduce each other into each other's social circles. You two went to Egypt together and even killed a dragon, but that can only be called comradeship, a sublimation of feelings under the suspension bridge effect."

"But life isn't just about slaying dragons right in front of you. Next, you should learn about his daily hobbies and see what kind of people surround him."

Nono listened attentively and thought it made a lot of sense.

"He's usually a homebody. When he doesn't have classes, he's mostly exercising. He also seems to like reading comics and playing games. As for his social life, he probably doesn't have many friends. As far as I know, he only has his quirky roommate and is close to Chu Zihang."

Nono counted on her fingers. Since Fingel, this notorious good-for-nothing, had been excluded from "normal social interactions," the only remaining breakthrough point was Chu Zihang.

“Speaking of Chu Zihang, I worked with him in Chicago before the start of the semester,” Nono recalled the details.

"He's cold and aloof to everyone, always keeping strangers at bay, but he's much more normal around Lin Yuan."

Susie nodded. As a fellow member of the Lionheart Society, she understood this all too well: "Chu Zihang really rarely interacts with people. In the society, apart from necessary official business, he hardly speaks."

Nuonuo immediately went on alert, staring at Susie and pressing her for answers: "Does Chu Zihang have any rumored girlfriends at school? Or any girls he's close to?"

“Absolutely not.” Susie said with absolute certainty.

"Don't even mention that he didn't have any at Kassel College. Fingel even revealed on the Night Watchers forum that Chu Zihang received so many love letters during his three years of high school that they could fill several baskets, but he never dated any girls, and he didn't even have any close female friends."

He's handsome, capable, and never lacks girls throwing themselves at him, yet he's completely immune to all women.

Now that I'm abroad, I'm still inseparable from my best friends from high school. Is that right...?

Nono swallowed hard, then turned to Susie: "He...he wouldn't be gay, would he? What if he uses his brotherhood as an excuse to do something to Lin Yuan..."

Susie was amused by her peculiar way of thinking, but upon closer reflection, she found it to make some sense.

“Since you’re so worried, why don’t we take the initiative?” Susie snapped her fingers and suggested.

"Why don't you invite him out for a barbecue this weekend? Under that pretext, you can not only legitimately integrate into his circle, but also take the opportunity to observe Chu Zihang and find out more about him."

Nono's eyes lit up; she thought it was an excellent idea.

But her face quickly fell: "But I don't know how to barbecue at all. Do you?"

Susie shook her head helplessly. She had spent the first eighteen years of her life dealing with the exam-oriented education system in China. Where would she have had the opportunity to learn cooking skills?

But she quickly reassured him, "It's alright, as long as it's cooked through and won't kill anyone. It's just about the atmosphere, not like we're going to a Michelin-starred restaurant."

Upon hearing this, Nuonuo didn't hesitate and sent Lin Yuan a text message inviting him to a barbecue the next day.

While waiting for a reply, her gaze fell on Susie beside her.

Although she had just woken up, she was without makeup and wearing loose pajamas.

But Susie's gentle and intellectual qualities, unique to girls from Jiangnan, are still very eye-catching.

With her long, jet-black hair casually draped over her shoulders and her delicate, soft features, she is undoubtedly a top-tier beauty who can make any man's heart flutter, no matter where she is.

A brilliant plan was born in Nono's mind.

What can you possibly discover by just observing?

Why not use this barbecue to introduce Chu Zihang to Su Xi? If Chu Zihang is indifferent to a great beauty like Su Xi, then he probably has a problem with his sexual orientation.

If the two hit it off, it would not only solve the roommate's single status problem, but also remove a "time bomb" from Lin Yuan's life.

Simply perfect!

"Then it's settled!" Looking at Lin Yuan's reply "No problem" on her phone screen, Nono clenched her fist, filled with anticipation for the weekend.
