Sunlight streamed through the window.

It gently sprinkled onto the floor of room 306.

Tang Xinxin was chatting and laughing with her roommates.

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Just then, the phone rang suddenly.

She looked down and saw the name "Gu Qianqian" flashing on the screen.

Tang Xinxin quickly picked up her phone.

Swipe the screen to answer: "Hello, Sisi."

Gu Qianqian's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Xin Xin, which dorm room have you been assigned to?"

Tang Xinxin replied with a smile:

"Sisi, I'm in room 306. Where are you?"

Gu Qianqian seemed to pause for a moment.

Then he said:

"Okay, I'm in room 402. By the way, shall we have lunch together this afternoon?"

Tang Xinxin readily agreed:

"Okay, Sisi, see you this afternoon."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Attention immediately shifted to the phone screen.

My fingers kept swiping, scrolling through various pieces of information.

A hint of expectation and disappointment flickered in his eyes.

Because among all this information...

There has been no news about Luo Yuting.

She couldn't help but ponder to herself,

Brother Yuting should have arrived at Tsinghua and Peking University safely by now.

Thinking this, Tang Xinxin's fingers unconsciously pressed Luo Yuting's number.

At this moment, Luo Yuting, who had just arrived at the Tsinghua and Peking University campuses,

Still because I just saw Li Lanzhou at the Imperial University of Beijing.

His brows furrowed in frustration.

But when I saw Tang Xinxin's call on my phone screen,

His tightly furrowed brows,

Finally, like snow in spring, it loosened up a little.

He quickly answered the phone, before he could even speak.

Tang Xinxin's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Brother Yuting, have you arrived at school yet?"

Luo Yuting's lips curled up slightly.

He said in a slightly teasing tone:

"Yeah, just arrived. Missed me?"

Tang Xinxin was silent for a moment.

Her voice was full of sincerity: "Yes, I regret it."

Only then did she realize that her longing for Luo Yuting was surging like a tidal wave.

She regretted that she had been too rational before, insisting that Luo Yuting apply to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, which has now led to the two of them being separated.

Luo Yuting was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but ask:

"Hmm? What are you regretting?"

Tang Xinxin gently bit her lip.

Changing the subject abruptly, she said playfully:

"I regret not kissing you just now."

After she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed slightly.

It was as if Luo Yuting on the other end of the phone could see her shy and bashful appearance at that moment.

When Luo Yuting heard Tang Xinxin's words,

I couldn't help but chuckle softly; the laughter came through the receiver.

With a touch of tenderness, it tickled Tang Xinxin's heart.

"Little girl, you miss me now? Next time we meet, I'll let you kiss me as much as you want."

Luo Yuting deliberately spoke ambiguously.

This made Tang Xinxin's cheeks burn even hotter.

"Hmph, always teasing me. How's everything going over there? Have you settled into your dorm?"

Luo Yuting did not terminate the lease on the house in Clearwater Bay.

However, it is for the convenience of choosing to stay in the dormitory.

Tang Xinxin quickly changed the subject, trying to hide her shyness.

"Yes, everything's arranged. There are a lot of people at the school, but the procedures went smoothly. It's just..."

Luo Yuting paused deliberately at this point.

"What is it? Don't keep me in suspense."

Tang Xinxin anxiously pressed for answers, her heart leaping into her throat.

Luo Yuting chuckled softly and said slowly:

"Without you by my side, I feel like something's missing."

His voice is deep and magnetic.

Each word and phrase plucked at Tang Xinxin's heartstrings like a feather.

Tang Xinxin's lips unconsciously curled up, and a sweet feeling spread through her heart.

"You're so glib. Oh, and remember to eat well. Also, try to get along well with your roommate..."

Tang Xinxin is like a worried little parent.

Luo Yuting listened patiently.

He would occasionally respond with an "um".

A doting smile always lingered on his lips.

After Tang Xinxin finally finished speaking,

He then said, "Xinxin has grown up and knows how to care for others. As for you, you need to take good care of yourself in the dormitory and not always be so forgetful. If anyone bullies you, tell me immediately."

"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. By the way, when is your school's military training?" Tang Xinxin asked curiously.

"I heard it starts next week and lasts for half a month. What about you, has your school made arrangements yet?" Luo Yuting answered while tidying up the books on the table.

"Not yet, but it'll probably be soon. Military training is sure to be exhausting, I really don't want to face it."

Tang Xin thought of the scorching sun and intense training during military training.

Couldn't help but sigh.

"If you're tired, take a rest. I'll treat you well after military training."

Luo Yuting smiled and comforted him.

The two chatted for a long time afterward.

It seems like there are endless things to say.

Until the last rays of the setting sun shone through the window,

It sprinkled on Tang Xinxin's body.

She then realized with a start that it was already quite late.

"Brother Yuting, I'm not talking to you anymore. I promised Qianqian I'd go eat later."

Tang Xinxin said with some reluctance.

"Okay, then go eat quickly, I'll call you again tonight."

Luo Yuting gave instructions.

"Okay, you go eat too. Bye-bye."

Tang Xinxin hung up the phone.

There was a happy smile on his face.

She got up and straightened her clothes.

Carrying this sweetness,

She walked out of the dormitory with light steps.

Tang Xinxin successfully found Gu Qianqian in room 402.

Upon meeting, the two naturally and intimately took each other's hands.

Like two cheerful little birds,

They walked downstairs together.

The afternoon sun gently shone on them.

It gilded their figures with a faint golden hue.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Pei Yi already waiting there.

The moment he saw Gu Qianqian, his eyes lit up with surprise.

Waving his arms excitedly,

Shout loudly: "Sissi!"

The voice was filled with barely suppressed joy.

Gu Qianqian was like a little butterfly attracted by the call.

Without hesitation, he let go of Tang Xinxin's hand.

With light steps, she ran straight into Pei Yi's arms.

Her face was beaming with a happy smile.

It felt as if the whole world had shrunk to just the person in front of me.

Upon seeing this, Tang Xinxin couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands.

He shook his head slightly, muttering to himself:

"It's unbearable to watch. These two have only been apart for an afternoon, why are they acting so inseparable?"

That being said, seeing this sweet scene before me,

A wave of bittersweetness welled up in her heart.

She couldn't help but think to herself, what if she hadn't insisted that her brother Yuting apply to Tsinghua and Peking Universities?

At this moment, perhaps I can be like Sissi.

They embraced each other so sweetly.

Just then, Pei Yi released Gu Qianqian.

He said with a big smile:

"Come on, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

It was only then that Tang Xinxin noticed that there was another person standing behind Pei Yi—Li Lanzhou.

He stood there quietly, his eyes filled with complex emotions—the joy of a long-awaited reunion mixed with a hint of caution.

He opened his mouth slightly and said softly, "Xin Xin, it's been a long time."

Since Tang Xinxin's accident at Li Lanzhou's birthday party, his heart has been filled with guilt and self-blame, to the point that he no longer has the courage to face Tang Xinxin, and he has deliberately avoided disturbing her life ever since.

However, today, when he learned from Pei Yi that Tang Xinxin was also at Imperial University, while Luo Yuting was studying at Tsinghua and Peking Universities, a glimmer of hope inexplicably ignited in his heart, as if this was another opportunity bestowed upon him by heaven.

Tang Xinxin was slightly taken aback when she saw Li Lanzhou.

He then subtly squeezed Gu Qianqian's hand.

A hint of inquiry was revealed in his eyes:

What's he doing here?

Gu Qianqian naturally understood what Tang Xinxin meant.

She playfully stuck out her tongue.

He gestured to Tang Xinxin with his eyes.

Pei Yi and Li Lanzhou have a very close relationship.

The two are childhood friends who grew up together.

We're in frequent contact, so it's inevitable that we'll run into each other.

In response to Li Lanzhou's greeting,

Tang Xinxin simply responded with a faint "Mm".

His tone was clearly distant.

She knew that keeping her distance from Li Lanzhou was crucial.

That's the best choice for both of us.

___________________

In Tsinghua and Peking Universities, prestigious institutions that gather the world's brightest talents...

Luo Yuting was like a dazzling, radiant star.

It blends quickly into the new environment with its unique radiance.

He was introverted by nature and did not like to talk much.

He exuded an aura that kept people at a distance.

Like a flower on a high mountain, it is aloof and proud.

However, when his roommates learned that he had been admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities with the outstanding score of the provincial top score,

Full of admiration and envy.

His roommates all took the initiative to make friends with him.

They tried to get closer to each other.

Faced with this enthusiasm,

Luo Yuting did not show the slightest indifference or aloofness.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Yuting and his roommates went to the Tsinghua University cafeteria.

They had just stepped into the cafeteria

It's like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

It immediately caused a small-scale sensation.

The attention of many students in the cafeteria was drawn to it.

Whispers and discussions rose and fell.

"Is that tall and handsome guy a new freshman?"

Qi Xinran asked her friend next to her curiously.

Qi Xinran is a renowned campus beauty at Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

As the vice president of the student council,

Not only is she outstanding in appearance,

Her temperament is also very elegant.

It has always been the focus of attention.

This also led to him developing a somewhat arrogant personality.

Her friend, upon hearing this, couldn't help but joke:

"School Beauty Qi, you wouldn't have fallen for him, would you?"

Qi Xinran slightly raised her chin.

His gaze lingered on Luo Yuting for a moment.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

He said, "Hmm, she's quite good-looking."

A hint of appreciation was in her eyes.

The natural confidence and composure that Luo Yuting exuded...

It made her take a few more glances.

Luo Yuting found himself in the bustling cafeteria.

Completely unaware that he had attracted countless gazes from those around him,

It became the focus of everyone's attention.

He was chatting with his roommates from time to time.

His gaze lingered between the cafeteria windows displaying a dazzling array of dishes.

All I could think about was what Tang Xinxin liked to eat.

So many years of habits,

He doesn't even know what he likes to eat.

All I know is what Tang Xinxin likes to eat.

Finally, he chose Tang Xinxin's favorite dish: sweet and sour pork ribs and rice.

After my roommates had all gotten their food,

The four of them found an empty seat in the somewhat crowded cafeteria.

They all took their seats.

Wang Kai is undoubtedly the life of the party in the dorm, with a lively personality like a little monkey jumping around.

His eyes sparkled with curiosity.

His mouth was firing off like a machine gun.

She kept bombarding Luo Yuting with all sorts of questions.

Luo Yuting, on the other hand, always wore a gentle smile.

He patiently answered all of Wang Kai's questions.

The expression on his face suggested that he wasn't facing a series of somewhat childish questions.

Rather, it is a profound academic discussion.

His voice was deep and clear.

Like a gentle spring breeze, it softly brushes past your ear.

Not far away, a group of girls were secretly observing what was happening.

They were either resting their chins on their hands or whispering to each other.

Her gaze kept drifting towards Luo Yuting.

Watching his friendly and approachable demeanor as he chatted with his roommates,

The girls couldn't help but secretly speculate.

It turns out that this handsome and tall young man is also very approachable.

For a moment, they felt as if a cat had scratched their hearts.

They were getting restless and began to whisper among themselves.

You push and shove, everyone's secretly conflicted.

Let's see who dares to be the first to ask for Luo Yuting's contact information.

Qi Xinran sat upright in the corner of the cafeteria.

He gazed at Luo Yuting with great interest.

His eyes were full of a triumphant, determined look.

She gently turned the chopsticks in her hand.

Images of her spending time with Luo Yuting were already forming in her mind.

In her heart, Luo Yuting was like a turtle in a jar.

Sooner or later, it will be mine.

This certainty seemed to be her own secret.

After dinner, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the paths of the campus.

Luo Yuting walked side by side with his roommates.

The weeping willows by the roadside sway gently.

The yellow-green leaves swayed in the wind.

It seemed to add a touch of poetry to this beautiful sunset.

Along the way, the girls' eyes seemed to be drawn to it like a magnet.

They all looked at Luo Yuting.

Wang Kai, with his sharp eyes, naturally noticed this situation early on.

He nudged Luo Yuting's shoulder.

A sly smile played on his lips.

He joked, "Hey bro, look at you! You've been like a moving focal point the whole way here. Girls are always sneaking glances at you. We've really benefited a lot from following you!"

Having said that, he exaggeratedly puffed out his chest.

It's as if my own worth has increased as a result.

Luo Yuting simply smiled faintly and remained silent.

He strolled along the campus paths with his roommates.

He habitually took out his phone.

Long, slender fingers lightly tapped the screen.

He quickly sent a message to Tang Xinxin:

"Xin Xin, what are you doing right now?"

At this moment, the two had only recently parted ways.

But they still care about each other.

Like vines, it grows wildly in the depths of my heart.

No one is used to being without the other person by their side.

Soon, the phone screen lit up.

Tang Xinxin's reply came into view:

"I just finished eating with Xixi and the others, and now I'm taking a stroll in the commercial street behind the school."

Luo Yuting's gaze instantly fixed on the word "they".

His keen senses immediately alerted him to something amiss.

His hand gripping the phone tightened unconsciously.

The knuckles turned slightly white from the force applied.

Several figures flashed through my mind.

It can be almost concluded that

Pei Yi must be among "them".

Even Li Lanzhou might be there.

Thinking of Tang Xinxin and Li Lanzhou taking a leisurely stroll together,

Luo Yuting suddenly felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest.

Feeling suffocated, my mood, which was originally quite good, was completely ruined.

In an instant, it felt like falling into an ice cellar, vanishing without a trace.

His face darkened, and without saying a word, he turned off his phone.

The once leisurely pace became hurried and heavy.

He strode quickly toward the dormitory.

His roommates were completely baffled by his sudden change.

They looked at each other in bewilderment, but quickly quickened their pace.

I hurriedly followed him back to the dormitory.
