Chapter 151
The next morning when Xu Yi was washing up, she deliberately touched her face. Not bad, very smooth.
Because she was going to see Qiao Rui, she had specially applied a face mask the night before.
After getting ready, she sat at her desk and looked at the time. It was already eight o'clock. She sent a WeChat message to Qiao Rui: "Are you awake?"
Qiao Rui replied very quickly: "I'm awake."
Xu Yi: "Then can I come find you now? Is it convenient?"
Qiao Rui: "You're coming to see me, do you still need to ask that question?"
The corners of Xu Yi's lips curled up. At this time, her roommates were still not awake.
She tiptoed out of the dormitory.
She hurriedly ran downstairs and just happened to bump into two girls head-on. They didn't know each other, but Xu Yi heard every word of their conversation—
"How long has that handsome guy been waiting?"
"We went to the cafeteria at seven thirty, now it's eight ten."
"Damn, school hasn't even started yet! I've run into no less than five couples already."
"Based on my experience, this handsome guy is probably the most devoted."
"..."
Xu Yi suddenly had a strange premonition.
She jogged to the outside of the dormitory building, and sure enough, she saw a familiar figure standing under a tree, holding a phone, not looking,
listlessly kicking pebbles on the ground.

Xu Yi walked over to Qiao Rui in a daze, "When did you get here?"
When Qiao Rui was alone, he looked very quiet to outsiders.
But when he saw Xu Yi, that roguishness floated up again, "Probably around five o'clock."
"..." Xu Yi: ?
Seeing her half believing expression, Qiao Rui felt amused and flicked her forehead, "Kidding, actually it was five thirty."
"Qiao Rui!"
He thought, this roommate can't have some mental illness right?
...
The weather was a bit cooler that day. After tidying up, Qiao Rui and Xu Yi wandered around G City.
It was just an average city, not as prosperous as Changwan, but it had a good university.
Xu Yi felt like she was walking on clouds, dizzy and confused. Her mind kept replaying the scene from this morning of Qiao Rui holding her in his arms.
Qiao Rui had carried her on his back and shoulders before, but those all had proper reasons.
This time was different.
So the indescribable feeling was especially strong.
Facing Qiao Rui all day, she also felt a bit awkward. Qiao Rui was easygoing as usual and didn't notice anything strange about her.
It wasn't until the evening when he sent Xu Yi back to her dorm.
Before he could even open his mouth, Xu Yi hurriedly said goodbye, "I'll go first, go back early." After saying that, she fled back into the dormitory.
Leaving Qiao Rui standing there alone, utterly confused. His mind went blank except for four words scrolling through like subtitles: what, is, going, on?
...
Su Ling went on a date with her boyfriend, Gu Ran went to the library.
The only person left in the dorm was Fang Chuning, sitting at the desk with makeup remover in front of her, wanting to remove her makeup but hesitating to start.
Seeing Xu Yi come back, she asked eagerly, "Sweetie, back from your date?"
Blushing, Xu Yi replied in a small voice, "Can you call it a date?"
Fang Chuning pulled over a chair next to Xu Yi, "What did you guys do?"
"Just...went with him to the dorm to tidy up his luggage, then went sightseeing around here, had dinner, that's it."
"Tsk tsk tsk, how is that not considered a date? You two spent a whole day glued to each other!"
Xu Yi thought of the scene from this morning again and nervously swallowed, stuttering as she asked: "Do you think...he's good to me?"
Fang Chuning stared with wide eyes like she had heard the funniest joke ever. She pointed at Xu Yi's forehead reproachfully, "Good heavens, you ungrateful child, how can you ask that?!"
Xu Yi: ?
Fang Chuning shook her head helplessly, "Although I don't know about your past, but he treated your roommates, that's us, to a meal, and even bought us snacks. Doesn't that say something already?"
Fang Chuning: "If he didn't like you, why would he spend money so wrongly? Unless there's something wrong with his brain."
