Chapter 91 First Meeting
A sunny morning.
A black luxury van silently drove into the campus, its body like obsidian in the deep night sky, exuding a low-key yet undeniable luxurious luster, and came to a steady stop in front of the girls' dormitory building.
As the car door opened automatically, two burly, tall men in black stepped out of the car. They stood upright with cold expressions and quickly and efficiently unloaded the luggage from the trunk, arranging it neatly to the side.
Immediately afterwards, a woman gracefully jumped off the car.
The woman wore a loose white cotton short-sleeved top, paired with light blue wide-leg jeans and white sneakers. She looked clean and neat, and wore a simple beige fisherman's hat. A few strands of hair fell playfully from under the brim of the hat, and her fair face was as delicate as mutton fat jade.
She was dressed in the simplest and most comfortable everyday clothes, yet she inadvertently exuded a unique sense of style that caught everyone's eye.
Unfortunately, a pair of large sunglasses covered the upper half of her face, making it impossible to see what she looked like. However, judging from her delicate and petite lower face and her beautifully shaped nose, she was probably quite good-looking. If her whole face were revealed, she would be incredibly beautiful.
At that moment, a man dressed in fine clothes stepped out of the car.
She wore a moon-white Tang suit with a well-tailored cut, and the collar and cuffs were embroidered with delicate cloud patterns, the silk threads shimmering in the sunlight.
His black hair was neatly tied up with a black headband, with a few stray strands falling across his face and swaying gently in the wind, which made him look even more handsome and charming.
She was like a peerless beauty who had stepped out of a painting!
As soon as it appeared, it attracted the attention and amazement of several passersby.
Bai Li heard the loud whispers of passersby around her and subconsciously turned around to see Jing Ye, who had just promised to wait for her obediently in the car.
"Ah!" Bai Li exclaimed inwardly.
I was hoping to start my campus life in a low-key and smooth way!
Once Jingye stands there, it's impossible for her to keep a low profile.
That's why she told Jingye to stay in the car and not to get out.
Bai Li took a step forward and stood in front of Jing Ye, trying to use her slightly thin body to block the curious gazes that kept coming from the people around her.
She originally wanted to look up and ask Jingye why she hadn't kept her promise.
But the moment she looked up, she met Jing Ye's complex gaze.
His usually deep and calm blue eyes were filled with sadness and reluctance, his gaze fixed on Bai Li, as if he wanted to etch her image into his heart.
It seemed like there were a thousand words to say, but they held back from uttering them.
Seeing Jingye like this, Bai Li was stunned for a moment, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
She pursed her lips slightly, a hint of heartache and reluctance in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she took a small step forward and gently stretched out her arms to hug Jingye.
Jingye's body stiffened slightly, then her arms quickly and forcefully wrapped around him, as if afraid that if she let go, he would disappear.
Bai Li discovered that if she hugged Jing Ye, her face would be pressed directly against Jing Ye's chest.
Close your eyes, and your heart is filled with the scent of a quiet night.
Jingye doesn't wear perfume, but Baili can always smell a unique, reassuring, and warm scent on him.
What a coincidence! She could clearly feel Jingye's heartbeat, a steady and strong one...
Sometimes, Bai Li felt that Jing Ye was more like an artificial intelligence than the NPCs in her house. Her daily life was routine, and she ate a variety of leafy greens that she couldn't understand. If there were nutritional supplements in this world, she felt that Jing Ye would definitely be a lifetime member of the nutritional supplements.
Although Jingye is a human, he has very low demands for material things, like an artificial intelligence with no desires.
However, at the same time, he is a person with high emotional needs.
Those emotions buried deep in his heart, once they erupted, were like a surging tide, unstoppable.
At that moment, Bai Li truly felt Jing Ye's body temperature. The warm touch penetrated her clothes and reached her skin, while the vibrant and powerful heartbeat struck her heart again and again.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that she owed Jingye a lot.
How can we gradually ignore Jingye's high emotional needs just because he usually shows low material desires?
This is too cruel for him.
Bai Li sighed heavily in her heart.
In the end, he still couldn't bring himself to be cruel to Jingye.
After the hug ended, Bai Li tilted her head slightly, gazed into Jing Ye's eyes, and softly instructed, "Be careful on your way back, and don't work overtime, understand? I'll have people in the company keep an eye on you."
Jingye forced a smile, but it looked strained, and the reluctance in her eyes grew stronger.
He nodded slightly, his voice a little hoarse: "Yeah, no overtime."
Warm moments are always fleeting.
During that brief hug, several more curious classmates gathered around, watching the scene with surprise or envy, whispering among themselves.
No matter how emotional she was, it was no use. Bai Li felt her face getting slightly hot. It was over. Her plan to enroll in school discreetly had completely failed!
"Alright, alright, let's go back." Bai Li waved her hand, pushed Jing Ye back into the car, and said, "A man shouldn't be out in public so often."
After bidding farewell to Jingye, Bai Li turned around and waved to Ah Hu and the others, saying somewhat anxiously, "I can carry my own luggage. You guys should hurry up and go. We've already attracted enough attention today."
After Ah Hu drove away slowly, Bai Li breathed a deep sigh of relief.
That's too high-profile!
Luckily, I wore a big hat and sunglasses today, so no one should care what I look like, right?
Bai Li slightly adjusted the position of her luggage, then took a deep breath and walked firmly toward the dormitory door.
The moment she stepped into the dormitory, a sudden gust of wind howled past, blowing her large hat away, swirling it high into the air.
Bai Li instinctively reached out to grab it, but missed.
Finally, Bai Li watched helplessly as the straw hat flew higher and higher, farther and farther away. She raised Er Kang's hand in despair and cried out weakly, "The hat!"
Where will you go to save face?
Just then, a lithe woman dressed in light sportswear saw the hat flying in the air, quickly took a running start, and like a black lightning bolt, rushed towards the point where the straw hat would land.
Run to the right spot, seize the opportunity, push off with both legs, leap high into the air, stretch out your arms, and firmly grab the hat that is flying in the air.
She ran back to Bai Li with a smile and handed her the hat: "Hey classmate, is this your hat? The wind is really mischievous."
With her hair tied in a high ponytail, her wheat-colored skin glowed healthily in the sunlight, and she had a bright smile. Although her skin was slightly dark, she revealed a set of white teeth when she smiled.
Bai Li took the straw hat, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you so much! You run so fast and jump so high, I almost thought I was going to lose the hat."
The man laughed heartily: "It's no big deal. I love sports, so I'm quite capable."
Bai Li smiled and said, "I can tell. By the way, I still don't know your name. My name is Bai Li."
Su Yao's eyes lit up: "Bai Li! You're Bai Li? I'm so glad to meet you in person! I'm your roommate, my name is Su Yao. Thank you for the gifts. We were all amazed when we got back to the dorm yesterday and saw all those super extravagant gifts you gave us!"
Bai Li was pleasantly surprised to run into her roommate as soon as she arrived.
Moreover, her roommate Su Yao is a social butterfly who is enthusiastic, talkative, and a little sun. She is like a blazing flame, which is very infectious. She is inexplicably similar to Chu Xianxian, which makes Bai Li feel very close to her.
Seeing that Bai Li had a lot of luggage, Su Yao directly carried one of them for her. Although she was carrying heavy luggage, she still walked up the stairs with great speed, and seemed to have a lot of physical strength.
Bai Li asked curiously, "You're wearing sportswear, did you just come back from exercising?"
"I just went to the track and field team selection, and it was incredibly competitive, especially in a big city. I felt I performed okay, but it's still uncertain whether I'll make the cut."
Su Yao sighed, but quickly smiled brightly again:
"But it's okay. Even if I don't get selected this time, I won't give up. There will be other opportunities in the future!"
The more Bai Li looked at Su Yao, the more she felt that Su Yao resembled Chu Xianxian.
That sibling-like similarity is absolutely amazing.
Bai Li sighed repeatedly.
As the two walked back to their dormitory in the corridor, chatting and laughing, Ye Lin came towards them from the end.
Ye Lin was wearing a light green chiffon dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, and she was holding a pot of succulents in her hands.
Su Yao, with her sharp eyes, spotted Ye Lin walking towards them first. She waved her arms enthusiastically and shouted, "Ye Lin, over here!"
Hearing the shouts, Ye Lin looked up, her gaze first falling on Su Yao, a gentle smile appearing on her face: "Su Yao, what's wrong...?"
Before she could finish speaking, her eyes caught sight of Bai Li beside Su Yao, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she paused slightly in her steps.
Bai Li noticed Ye Lin's reaction and greeted her with a smile: "Hello, Ye Lin, I'm Bai Li."
Looking at Ye Lin's slender figure and gentle eyes, Bai Li thought to herself, "This is my second roommate. She's like a friendly older sister, and her gentle and intellectual qualities are off the charts."
Ye Lin quickly recovered from her surprise, and her expression changed from surprise to friendliness. She tucked the succulent in her palm and said, "Hello, my name is Ye Lin. Thank you for the gift. It's too precious. I don't know how to thank you."
"Don't mention it, it's just a small token of my appreciation." Bai Li's gaze involuntarily fell on the succulent in Ye Lin's hand. The round and plump leaves were like pink peaches, clearly well-cared for. She couldn't help but praise, "This green plant is so cute."
Ye Lin nodded gently, a smile playing on her lips. As she spoke, her voice was soft and melodious: "Yes, I think plants are very vibrant. Watching them grow little by little brings me a special sense of peace and contentment."
Su Yao quickly added, "My sister Lin usually likes to grow succulents. This is her precious 'Peach Egg,' and she bathes it every week."
Ye Lin didn't refute, her gaze falling on the succulent, her eyes full of tenderness and affection: "It's the most delicate succulent, and also one of the most water-loving varieties. It must be watered once a week. I'm about to go to the water room, and it will take a while. You guys go back to your dorms first, and we'll talk later."
Su Yao yawned lazily: "Alright, then you go quickly, don't let Tao Dan get thirsty. We'll have a proper chat when we get back to the dorm. Oh, by the way, who's in the dorm right now?"
Ye Lin smiled and nodded: "Shen Shi and Tang Tang are in the dormitory. See you in a bit."
After saying that, she carefully carried the succulent around the two of them and walked towards the water room.
As Su Yao walked, she explained, "That's just how Ye Lin is; she cares more about her plants than herself."
Bai Li smiled and said, "It's obvious that she really likes it."
Having met two of her roommates so far, both have very distinct personalities, and Bai Li is already starting to get curious about the other three roommates.
As Su Yao walked briskly, she gave Bai Li a couple of heads-up with a hint of mystery: "The two people in our dorm you absolutely mustn't mess with are the two people currently in the dorm, Shen Shi and Tang Tang."
"Let's talk about Shen Shi first. She's a top student among top students, a smartest of the smartest, and she has a whole set of tricks up her sleeve. Sometimes you don't even know how you fell for her tricks. Talking to her always makes you feel a chill down your spine, so don't mess with her easily."
"Tang Tang is an automatic argument machine. No matter what topic we're discussing, if she has a different opinion, she'll argue with you until you agree with her point of view."
"So, when you're chatting with her, if you have different opinions, don't easily get into a fight with her, or you'll be driven crazy by her 'chanting' style of arguing, haha."
Bai Li couldn't help but laugh as she listened to Su Yao's description.
I always felt that Su Yao's introduction of her two roommates was not very reliable. I was afraid that it was mixed with too much of her own subjective feelings, and I didn't know what the real situation was.
Su Yao casually pushed open the dormitory door, humming an unknown tune.
In the dormitory, Shen Shi was sitting quietly at her desk, engrossed in her book. Her slender fingers gently rested on the edge of the pages, occasionally turning them with a soft rustling sound.
Hearing the door being pushed open, she slowly raised her head to look at the doorway. Her gaze fell on Bai Li, who walked in, and a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her usual composure.
Upon hearing Su Yao introduce the person in front of her as her new roommate Bai Li, Shen Shi gave a slight bow, wore a perfectly polite smile, and said in a clear yet gentle voice, "Hello, Bai Li, I am Shen Shi."
Bai Li greeted him with a smile.
Just then, a sudden "splashing" sound came from the bathroom, followed by a clear, loud, and penetrating voice:
"Wait a minute!"
His voice was full of energy, conveying a sense of eagerness.
A few seconds later, Tangtang jumped out of the bathroom. When she saw Baili, her eyes widened instantly, as if she had discovered a rare treasure.
Her face was beaming with excitement, and her lips were sweet as honey as she exclaimed, "Wow, you're Bai Li! You're so!!! beautiful!!! And you smell so good!!!"
Tang Tang curiously moved closer to Bai Li, tilting her head slightly as she looked her over, even taking a gentle sniff of her scent. She asked curiously, "Are you a rich young lady from Shanghai? People online say rich young ladies have a lot of rules, is that true?"
In response to her quirky questions, Bai Li explained, "I don't have that many rules; we should just get along as we please."
Upon hearing this, Tang Tang became interested and started talking non-stop, grabbing Bai Li's hand and chattering away.
Bai Li originally thought Su Yao was already quite outgoing, but she didn't expect Tang Tang to be even more so.
Two little angels in one dorm room, this dorm is so lively!
Shen Shi, on the other hand, remained very quiet while reading, seemingly undisturbed.
Amidst this lively atmosphere, not long after we sat down, our dorm leader, Zhou Yue, returned.
Zhou Yue, holding a stack of documents, immediately smiled warmly at Bai Li: "You must be my new roommate? Hello, welcome to our dorm. I'm the dorm leader, Zhou Yue. Feel free to contact me if you need anything in the dorm."
Bai Li stood up and nodded in response with a smile.
Zhou Yue is really tall, almost as tall as Jiang Mingfei, and she has a really good figure. When she first came in, I really thought she was a model visiting the dormitory.
Now I've met all five of my roommates. Each of them has a very distinct and memorable personality.
Tang Tang's gaze fell on the stack of materials in Zhou Yue's hand, and her curiosity was immediately piqued. She couldn't help but lean over and ask, "Zhou Yue, are you busy with club matters?"
Zhou Yue nodded, placing the documents on the table as she said, "Yeah, I'm preparing to join the student council's reserve force. Plus, after being selected for the film club, I'll be helping with an event plan. There's a lot to do. What about you guys? Aren't you participating in any clubs? Why are you all in the dorms?"
Tang Tang completely broke down upon hearing this: "I have absolutely no idea which club to join, I have a serious case of decision paralysis."
Shen Shi waved her hand: "I won't participate, I don't have time."
"Su Yao has definitely joined the track and field team." Zhou Yue said, glancing at Bai Li. Bai Li was the only one who had just moved into this dorm, so she probably hadn't considered clubs yet. She offered a concerned reminder:
"There's a club recruitment event at the school's left main gate square. It lasts for three days, so don't miss it! Do you want me to go with you?"
Seeing that Zhou Yue was very busy, Bai Li quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, thank you. I actually have a club that I'd like to learn about. I'll go check it out myself."
