"That was Su Xian just now?" He Xinwan's eyes were full of admiration and joy for Zuo Yueyao. She had never concealed these emotions since the first time she met Zuo Yueyao.

"Yeah." Zuo Yueyao answered absentmindedly.

He Xinwan is not a person who likes to hide her emotions. She admires Zuo Yueyao's character and talents. At the same time, she is very sure and confident in her own excellence. She believes that Zuo Yueyao will not be hard-hearted to someone like her, it is just a matter of time.

After learning that Zuo Yueyao’s cousin had come to Nanjing University, He Xinwan ended her review abroad early and returned to Nanjing University.

Since she was her cousin, she thought she must be a sweet-looking, gentle girl. The scene of their meeting just now appeared in her mind again. He Xinwan couldn't help but smile: "Your cousin is quite unique."

"What's the feature?" Zuo Yueyao suddenly stopped.

He Xinwan knew that her way of expressing herself was a little impolite, so she hurriedly explained, "What I meant is that she has a strong personality and is quite spiritual."

Zuo Yueyao curled his lips: "She is indeed very smart."

"It's just that my temper is a bit worrying."

He Xinwan was slightly stunned: "I have known you for such a long time, but I have never heard you comment on a girl like this. It seems that your cousin has caused you a lot of worry."

Eighteen or nineteen years old, an age full of yearning and curiosity for love. At night, pairs of men and women come and go on this ancient tree-lined path of Nanjing University, and their soft words reveal the charm and tenderness of love.

The moonlight was like water, quietly leaking on every leaf and every body, gently surrounding the lovers. No one would doubt that Zuo Yueyao and He Xinwan, this perfect couple, were not in a romantic relationship.

"Thank you for today."

Zuo Yueyao did not expect He Xinwan to suddenly show up tonight, let alone that she would take the initiative to offer to accompany him. In desperation he could only accept.

"Yueyao." He Xinwan put her hand on Zuo Yueyao's wrist: "Is that all you have to say to me is thank you?"

"yes."

His quick and firm answer was completely beyond He Xinwan's expectations. For a moment she didn't know how to continue.

"You know how I feel about you."

"I know." Zuo Yueyao took a small step to the side and left the hand that was touching him: "But I have no plans to fall in love at the moment."

"You" He Xinwan was speechless for a moment, looking at his pair of misty black eyes, deeply fascinated by them and unable to control herself.

"OK, I was anxious." He Xinwan suddenly smiled, frankly and charmingly: "I wanted to try my luck and see if someone would be deeply moved by my sudden appearance today. It seems that I overestimated myself. It doesn't matter. I believe that one day you will want to fall in love."

With a playful wink, she said, "And you're in love with me."

Zuo Yueyao's brows began to frown, but He Xinwan didn't give him a chance to speak: "Okay, I'm going back to the dormitory. From today on, I'll live in the dormitory."

At the intersection of the boulevard, there are two roads leading to the male and female dormitories respectively. Zuo Yueyao put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at He Xinwan's back, and the wrinkles between his brows did not smooth out for a long time.

Su Xian and Lu Xiran were each eating a bowl of instant noodles happily, and they would play around from time to time, until Yao Jing came in with a basin for washing up, and then they quieted down.

Yao Jing glanced at the two people through the lenses of her glasses. The smell of instant noodles that filled the room made her very dissatisfied: "Don't bring this kind of food into the dormitory to eat in the future."

This was probably the longest sentence Yao Jing had ever said since they met.

Su Xian bit the noodles and winked at Lu Xiran, meaning: She talks about hers and we eat ours.

Obviously Lu Xiran misunderstood her meaning and said to Yao Jing: "Why can't we eat in the dormitory? If we don't eat in the dormitory, do we have to eat on the street?"

"I don't care where you eat, but I ask you not to eat in the dormitory." Yao Jing replied quite impolitely.

Su Xian sighed, they all lived in the same dormitory, why bother. But she really admired Yao Jing, living under the same roof, they saw each other every day, but she just ignored her and Lu Xiran.

This probably requires reaching a certain level to achieve!

"What a hassle." Lu Xiran was obviously dissatisfied with Yao Jing for a long time: "She appears and disappears all day long, and she even complains when she eats instant noodles."

"I'm just asking you not to eat something so smelly in the dormitory, why are you being so aggressive?"

"Am I aggressive?" Lu Xiran was speechless and turned to Su Xian and asked, "Am I aggressive? No, I am just telling the truth."

"Why are you the first to complain?" Lu Xiran almost cried. This was probably her first time having an argument and it was obvious that she lacked experience.

Su Xian put the chopsticks in his mouth and chewed for a long time: "So, next time we eat instant noodles, we will go to the balcony to eat, and close the balcony door, so you can't smell it."

Lu Xiran pouted: "Why?"

It's just because Yao Jing is a difficult person to deal with, what else can she be considered as

Su Xian didn't want to cause trouble, so he whispered in Lu Xiran's ear: "Always compete with people who share the same interests, and don't argue with fools."

Lu Xiran grinned: "You are right."

"Let's go eat on the balcony. We can also look at the stars and the moon and so on."

The two of them picked up the noodles and were about to go to the balcony when the door of the dormitory was pushed open again. They looked at the same time, and Lu Xiran shouted in surprise, "Senior Sister He!"

Su Xian was not that surprised. In fact, from the moment He Xinwan went on stage to play accompaniment, she probably guessed that the empty seat in their dormitory was most likely He Xinwan's.

She actually guessed it right.

"Hello." He Xinwan put a package on the table: "Nice to meet you."

Lu Xiran walked up to He Xinwan with instant noodles in her hand and said, "So this bed belongs to Senior Sister He?"

"Yes." He Xinwan really looked like a lady from a noble family, and her words were always so gentle: "But I've always lived in an apartment outside the school, and I've rarely slept in this bed. I came back in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare anything, so I won't stay here tonight. I'll move in when everything is ready."

"You mean, you'll live with us from now on?" Lu Xiran was a little unconvinced.

"Yes." He Xinwan really acted like a senior sister and touched Lu Xiran's head: "Why? Are you not welcome?"

"Welcome, of course." Lu Xiran is really outgoing and can chat with people anywhere.

"Lu Xiran, Su Xian, and Yao Jing, did I call you the right names?" Su Xian raised the spoon in her hand and greeted He Xinwan: "Hello, Senior Sister."

Yao Jing actually stood up from the bed obediently and called her "Senior Sister" respectfully.

This double standard is absolutely amazing!

"By the way, Senior Sister, didn't you go to eat with Senior Brother Zuo? Why did you come back so soon?" Lu Xiran was particularly sensitive to the word "eating".

"He had something urgent to do, so we can only do it another day."

Su Xian saw a trace of disappointment on He Xinwan's face. She concealed it well and it was fleeting, but it still caught her eyes.

"Besides, the protagonist is gone, so there's no need to eat this meal!"

It was only after He Xinwan's teasing that the two of them finally reacted.

Damn it, we agreed to have something to do! We were already gathered in the dormitory, what a slap in the face.

"I brought you some food, all brought back from abroad. Try it and see if it tastes good. If not, I'll have someone bring back some other flavors."

Su Xian took a look at the bag full of things. They were all rare stuff. Not only had she seen them before, but the three people in the dormitory probably had never seen them before.

Lu Xiran glanced at Su Xian and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

"Oh, right." He Xinwan opened the exquisite small bag she was carrying and took out a small box from it. When she opened the small box, there was a small but exquisite bracelet inside: "I bought this bracelet at a local specialty store when I returned to China. It is exquisite and cute but not exaggerated. It should be suitable for you to wear."

The corner of Su Xian's mouth twitched, and he pointed at himself: "Is it for me?"

He Xinwan smiled and replied: "Yes, it's for you."

Su Xian was unable to react for a moment. Looking at the bracelet, which should not be too cheap, he really didn't understand why He Xinwan was so polite.

"Take it. I've already bought it. I can't let my kindness go to waste."

Su Xian stared for a long time, then squeezed out a sentence: "How much is it?"

He Xinwan chuckled: "It doesn't cost much, as long as you like it, that's its value."

Look, she's not only pretty, but she also speaks so beautifully! How could she respond to this

He Xinwan directly stuffed the bracelet into Su Xian's hand and pretended to be angry: "Yueyao told me that you are always straightforward, why are you being so shy with me?"

Is this what Zuo Yueyao said to her

Of course, Su Xian would not verify the authenticity of this sentence. She was only thinking about how to reject it beautifully.

Senior Sister He was so approachable in front of her. If she refused again, it would be so embarrassing for Senior Sister He. What if she went to Zuo Yueyao to complain? Wouldn't that be like slapping two people in the face

But if she accepted this thing, wouldn't her principle of not accepting rewards without merit be broken

After He Xinwan left, Su Xian looked at a bracelet and was so worried that some of her hair fell out. After thinking it over, she sent a message to Zuo Yueyao.

Su Xian: Senior brother

Zuo Yueyao: Hmm

Su Xian: Well, Senior Sister He gave me a bracelet, should I accept it

Zuo Yueyao: It’s up to you to decide.

Su Xian was unwilling to give in, and replied very flexibly: I came to you for advice only because I couldn't make a decision.

Zuo Yueyao: Do you want to collect it

Su Xian: I don’t want to.

Zuo Yueyao: Then I won’t accept it.

Su Xian: But what if senior sister is unhappy

Zuo Yueyao: Then I don’t know.

Su Xian: Brother, she is yours after all.

Zuo Yueyao: What what

Su Xian: Your girlfriend

About ten minutes later, Su Xian thought Zuo Yueyao would not reply. Just as he was about to put away his phone, the text message ringtone rang again.

Zuo Yueyao: I just received a call. When did she become my girlfriend? How come I didn’t know

Su Xian: ??? Everyone says so.

Zuo Yueyao: To listen to what one hears and follow what one says without thinking is to abandon one's virtue.
