"Hmm, but how could I not be angry!" Chu Ze exerted a little force, and Tang Yu's breathing immediately became heavy with pain.

“But no matter how angry I am, it won’t change anything,” Chu Ze said, dropping the last needle and stopping. “You should move to Zuoan Longting tomorrow night! I’m leaving.”

"Leaving? Aren't you going to stay with Chu Xia for a couple more days?" Tang Yu turned to look at him in surprise. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

“The project over there isn’t finished yet, and I’ll have to leave sooner or later anyway,” Chu Ze looked up at him. “The longer I stay here, the more reluctant I will be to leave. I might as well go back and finish the work sooner so I can come back sooner.”

"Did you tell Chu Xia?"

“No,” Chu Ze shook his head. “I don’t plan to talk to her. You can talk to her tonight after I leave tomorrow morning.”

When Chu Xia knew he was leaving, she was sure she would cry, and once she started crying, how could he possibly leave?

Tang Yu understood his feelings and nodded, "Okay. But when you go back this time, don't push yourself as hard as before. Your health is the most important thing."

"I know. I'm aware of it."

When the time was up, Chu Ze removed the silver needles one by one.

Tang Yu couldn't wait to move his hands and feet. There was still a slight pain, but it no longer affected his movement and was negligible compared to before.

"Do you have anything else to do today? If not, I'll take you to see your grandfather and maternal grandfather!"

Chu Ze paused in his work of arranging the silver needles. "Do Grandpa Tang and the others know about you and Chu Xia?"

"He doesn't know yet. You know my grandfather and maternal grandfather have been quite anxious for me to get married these past few years. If they knew that Chu Xia was my girlfriend, they would definitely come over immediately."

Tang Yu felt a headache coming on just thinking about the scene. "If they come, Chu Xia and I won't have any peace and quiet. Can you imagine two old men using canes to take Chu Xia to school every day and secretly monitoring our dates?"

“I’m worried that their enthusiasm might scare Chu Xia away.”

Chu Ze frowned and thought about it carefully.

You know what, given their playful personalities, it's actually quite possible.

"Then forget it, I won't go see them this time. They both know that Chu Xia is staying with you, and if I go to see them, they will definitely ask about Chu Xia. Besides, the bruises on your body haven't completely healed yet. I'm afraid they will notice something."

"Wait until I come back next time, then I'll bring Chuxia to see them."

With his older brother by her side, Chu Xia could relax a bit and wasn't so nervous.

“Sure,” Tang Yu said, seemingly unconcerned. “How about the three of us, Fu Shen, get together tonight?”

Since Chu Ze came back this time, the three of them haven't even sat down for a proper talk yet!

"No! I don't like the sight of either of you right now."

Having done what he wanted to do, Chu Ze coldly rejected the person and turned to leave.

Tang Yu watched his disappearing figure and sighed helplessly.

The class meeting on Song Chuxia's side went very smoothly. After everyone introduced themselves, the counselor then presided over the election of class officers.

Song Chuxia wasn't interested in being a class officer. Han Qinfei was busy making videos and managing her accounts on various platforms, so she didn't have time. Sun Yiting had already planned to do part-time jobs in her spare time, so she also didn't have time. Therefore, none of the three of them participated in the election.

Ye Ning, however, participated in the election for publicity committee member and was elected. She has photography skills, so she's somewhat suited for the role!

The counselor then explained the general schedule for the next few weeks. They would begin military training at 2 PM, which would last for three weeks. Saturdays and Sundays would be rest days.

However, the daily military training time is relatively long, from 8 am to 9 pm, with two hours at noon and one hour for dinner and rest.

Tonight there will be a welcome party for the new students, organized by the upperclassmen. Three weeks later, on Sunday evening of the week the military training ends, each college will hold its own welcome party.

The freshmen's welcome party is organized by the freshmen themselves, and each class must submit at least two performances. They can rehearse on their own over Saturdays and Sundays. The class officers are responsible for organizing the event.

After saying all that, the counselor left. He told everyone to do whatever they wanted, just not to be late for military training in the afternoon.

When Song Chuxia and her roommates saw that it was already 11 o'clock, they discussed going to eat now so they could rest a little longer in the dorm afterward.

The four of them got up and walked towards the classroom door, but they were stopped by someone before they had taken a few steps.

"Ye Ning, wait a moment."

Ye Ning turned around and saw Li Jingshen, so she asked, "Class monitor, is something the matter?"

"It's like this," Li Jingshen explained, "The counselor assigned us class officers to be in charge of the freshman party, and I was thinking that since we're both class officers, we should set an example. How about this, our two dorms can collaborate on a performance!"

Ye Ning thought it was possible, but it wasn't just her decision; Chu Xia and the others also had to be willing to participate.

"Let's discuss it when we get back. I'll send you a message then."

“No need for that. I was sitting right behind you and heard you talking.” Li Jingshen smiled, his gaze involuntarily falling on Song Chuxia.

“Aren’t you guys going to eat too? Let’s go together and discuss the show while we’re at it. Communicating back and forth with messages on the phone is too slow and it’s hard to take everyone’s opinions into account.”

Ye Ning thought what he said made sense, and that this would save time, so she turned her gaze to Song Chuxia and the other two to ask for their opinions.

In early summer, they all nodded and said, "Okay."

Upon arriving at the restaurant, everyone bought their food and sat down together.

We had almost finished eating.

Li Jingshen looked at Song Chuxia and the others and asked, "Three people in our dorm can dance, and others can play the piano and guitar. What about your dorm? What talents do you all have?"

They had already discussed the topic of talents in their dorm, so Ye Ning answered on behalf of everyone, "Two people in our dorm can dance, Chu Xia can play the piano and cello, and she can sing too."

"You know so much?" Li Jingshen looked at Song Chuxia with surprise. "So, are you the one who can dance too?"

Li Jingshen thought that Song Chuxia had such a good figure, she must be a very good dancer too.

“It wasn’t me, it was Feifei and Ningning,” Song Chuxia shook her head. “I can’t dance.”

“It’s okay, I can teach you later,” Li Jingshen suggested. “There are quite a few people in our two dorms who can dance, so how about we do a medley of popular boy group dances and girl group dances? People like that.”
