Senior, don't be afraid, I'll protect you.

Teachers' apartments.

Su Baizhou held the clothes, ready to throw them into the washing machine.

Luo Ye sat on the sofa, took out the White Rabbit milk candy from his bag, and placed it on the coffee table.

After throwing the clothes into the washing machine, Su Baizhou returned to the living room and noticed a box of White Rabbit milk candies on the coffee table. She asked in surprise, "What's this?"

"A Valentine's Day return gift."

Luo Ye handed the box to Su Baizhou and said with a smile, "Senior, this is a return gift of chocolates."

Upon hearing this, Su Baizhou took the box of milk candy and murmured, "I didn't expect you to still remember."

"Of course I remember, it was chocolate made by my senior."

That was also the first time I made chocolate.

Su Baizhou took out a White Rabbit milk candy from the box, then unwrapped it and popped it into her mouth.

It tastes familiar, but it's sweeter than before.

She had eaten this during Chinese New Year before, and also at someone else's wedding...

The food I ate this time was a gift from my boyfriend.

The meaning is different... Mr. Luo.

Seeing the fairy-like senior eat a piece of candy, Luo Ye felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Valentine's Day gift-giving, and Valentine's Day reciprocation.

The back-and-forth conversation implies that he and the fairy-like senior are a couple.

……

Xu Xiaojia, wearing pink slippers, walked all the way to the playground.

Although it was already late, it was still early; it was only nine o'clock at night.

At this time of day, there were still quite a few people on the playground, either running or taking a walk. In the middle of the playground, there were also ethnic minority groups performing traditional dances.

Seeing so many people on the playground, Xu Xiaojia stood there blankly for a moment.

Suddenly, she looked in another direction and saw the three men from room 515 sitting on the steps of the flagpole.

Luo Ye, Shen Qiao, Wang Dachui.

The three of them looked in the same direction at the same time. Xu Xiaojia followed their gaze and saw the figure running laps.

Although the weather is gradually warming up, it's not exactly warm yet. Li Haoyang was only wearing a thin vest and shorts, his whole body was covered in sweat, and he had run countless laps here.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaojia froze on the spot.

She should have known long ago that Li Haoyang would endlessly train himself when he was in a bad mood.

Why did she only think of this today and come to the playground to see him?

Because I was angry, my mind was filled with negative thoughts about him.

Not far away, Luo Ye and his two companions watched their coach run lap after lap.

"Which lap are we on?" Wang Dachui asked expressionlessly.

"Twenty-five laps."

Luo Ye escorted his senior back to her dormitory, gave her a Valentine's Day gift in return, and then returned to his room. He and his two roommates then went to the sports field to see if the coach was there.

I didn't expect it to actually be there.

"No, Wild Boy, have you gotten so bored that you're counting things like this?" Wang Dachui asked in surprise.

"I'm not bored. I'm chatting with my senior. I calculated that we exchanged about fifteen messages, which is roughly the time it takes for the coach to run one lap..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dachui was speechless.

Isn't this boring?

"Look over there."

Shen Qiao gestured in a direction with her eyes.

The two looked over at the same time and spotted Xu Xiaojia.

"Oh no, it's the coach's wife!" Wang Dachui exclaimed.

"We need to find a way to get the coach to see her," Luo Ye said.

"I have a solution."

Shen Qiao stood up and went to the playground to run laps with Li Haoyang.

Seeing this, Luo Ye and Wang Dachui, though not quite understanding, still joined the lap race.

The four of them ran side by side on the playground. Shen Qiao approached Li Haoyang and said, "Look over there."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye and Wang Dachui's lips twitched, and they almost fell to the ground.

Is this the method you mentioned? It's really simple and unpretentious.

Li Haoyang looked over, then his pace gradually slowed down, changing from running to walking.

Xu Xiaojia was at the entrance of the playground, while he was on the opposite side of the lawn, almost sixty meters apart.

But their gazes pierced through everything, meeting each other's eyes as if they saw only each other.

Shen Qiao and the other two sensibly moved away from the scene.

Wang Dachui looked like he was watching a melon seed (a Chinese idiom meaning to eat melon seeds).

Seeing his expression, Shen Qiao mocked, "Oh, what are you laughing at? Brother Luo Ye has a senior, and I have Xiao Lei. We're just watching the show. What are you watching?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dachui's forehead went black.

His initial enthusiasm for gossip was completely extinguished at that moment. He curled his lip and said with a look of disdain, "What's so interesting about young lovers arguing?"

Li Haoyang scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat bewildered, while Xu Xiaojia walked towards him step by step.

Finally, the two were on the lawn in the middle of the playground, only two or three meters apart.

Seeing Li Haoyang covered in sweat, Xu Xiaojia was about to speak, but every word she uttered was choked with tears, and she could barely speak.

"You waaaaaah."

Just like a child whose voice changes when they cry when they are extremely aggrieved, Li Haoyang could hear the aggrieved emotions in Xu Xiaojia's words, even though he didn't understand a single word.

He laughed, not knowing what to say, but simply reached out and gently stroked Xu Xiaojia's head to soothe her emotions.

……

"It's done!"

Shen Qiao, Luo Ye, and Wang Dachui turned and left the playground.

Three people, three ordinary figures, seemingly inconspicuous, yet they harbor great achievements and are full of a sense of accomplishment.

The breakup crisis for the young couple has finally been resolved.

After returning to his dormitory, Luo Ye made a video call with his senior, Fairy, and told her what had just happened.

On the phone screen, the fairy-like senior was wearing glasses and seemed to be working on a tablet. Then she split the screen and patiently listened to Luo Ye telling a story with great enthusiasm.
