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

Watching Tang Enqi leave, Xu Xiaojia pouted and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Luoye, do you know this scheming woman?"

"White lotus?"

Luo Ye looked at Xu Xiaojia, somewhat puzzled.

Is the "white lotus" referring to Tang Enqi?

Although he no longer likes her, whether she's a naive and innocent person... he really doesn't know.

However, whether she is or not is irrelevant to Luo Ye right now.

"Yeah, you wouldn't happen to like this innocent-looking girl, would you?"

"No, I used to like it," Luo Ye said truthfully, quite frankly.

Xu Xiaojia glanced at him speechlessly and sighed, "You're so honest, you'll get fooled."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye smiled and said, "My aunt said the same thing, which is why I became a novelist. As long as I don't deal with people, I won't be deceived."

Xu Xiaojia: ……

"Oh right, where were we? Oh, right, class monitor! Is the class monitor still upset? How about... we invite him out for dinner tonight?"

Seeing the petite girl suddenly become cautious, Luo Ye hesitated and said, "Isn't that a bad idea? They haven't even split up yet."

"What?? They haven't broken up yet? Oh right, you just said they were about to break up. Which scumbag girl is playing with the class monitor's feelings?"

Xu Xiaojia, despite her small stature, wore an angry expression. Luo Ye looked towards the Third Canteen and pointed a finger.

"That one... who just passed by, Liu Bingxin."

"What???"

Xu Xiaojia looked shocked.

Speaking of which, she was roommates with Liu Bingxin and Tang Enqi.

Therefore, she didn't get along well with these two people and didn't have any friends at all. After all, she spent more than half of her college life in her dormitory, and her social circle was almost entirely centered around her dormitory.

"It was that little slut."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye looked shocked and said, "What are you saying that you can't let anyone see?"

"Oh, I forgot there's a guy here too."

Xu Xiaojia stared at Luo Ye with dead fish eyes and said in a flat tone, "Remember to tell me if you break up."

After learning that Li Haoyang's girlfriend was Liu Bingxin, Xu Xiaojia felt as if she had lost her soul.

To be honest, this guy's emotions change way too fast! One minute he's crying, the next he's laughing. If the coach is with this guy, he's afraid he won't have a peaceful future.

Xu Xiaojia went to the cafeteria for lunch.

After buying an energy drink at a nearby supermarket, Luo Ye returned to his dorm room to lie down for a while before heading to class.

Room 515 was very quiet.

If there are no classes in the first period, most people will choose to sleep in. If there are no classes in the whole morning, most people will choose to sleep until noon.

If it weren't for the fact that the fairy-like senior had a habit of jogging in the morning, Luo Ye would have been one of these people.

He bought breakfast for the entire dorm. After returning to his room, he looked at his roommates' sleeping faces and a strange feeling welled up inside him.

It's like an elderly father who gets up early to prepare for work, looking at his children who are still fast asleep.

It's very fulfilling.

He coughed lightly, just about to wake his roommates up for breakfast.

Sudden.

A panda appeared in front of Luo Ye, and their eyes met.

Luo Ye was startled. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it wasn't a panda, but Li Haoyang.

"Coach? You...you're still alive?"

Li Haoyang's eyes were lifeless, and his dark circles looked as if they had been drawn on with a brush, thick and black.

"what?"

Li Haoyang looked at Luo Ye listlessly and said somewhat blankly, "Am I still alive?"

"I'm asking you."

"I do not know."

"..."

Is this because of excessive grief that my brain has shut down?

Seeing Li Haoyang's appearance, Luo Ye thought of the day he graduated from high school and received his admission letter from Jiang University.

If he gets into Jiangda University, he can be with Tang Enqi.

So he shared the news immediately.

However, Tang Enqi did not reply.

He didn't reply on the first day, nor on the second day.

I didn't go home for the entire summer vacation.

At first, he felt the same way as Li Haoyang, that he had lost his motivation in life and that taking the college entrance exam was meaningless.

But ultimately, life is about living for oneself; one cannot remain in the shadows forever.

Luo Ye patted Li Haoyang on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Coach, how about drinking tonight?"

In dormitory 515, Shen Qiao and Luo Ye accounted for eleven percent of the alcohol consumption, while Wang Dachui and Li Haoyang were only one percent behind.

However, Luo Ye still invited the coach.

Upon hearing the word "drinking," Li Haoyang seemed to gain motivation; his eyes brightened, as if he had found some spiritual sustenance.

Being sad is not terrible.

The scary thing is that you have to grieve alone.

And the coach, and his father, are there too.

……

"We're having an extra evening study session today, on Current Events and Policies. The administrative staff is on leave tomorrow."

After the second period ended in the afternoon, everyone heard the announcement from the class representative.

Suddenly, the entire classroom was filled with agonizing wails.

As the class monitor, Li Haoyang slept through the entire day, having stayed up all night.

During this time, Liu Bingxin came to see him, but after finding that she could not wake him up, she had no choice but to leave.

To this day, no one has told Liu Bingxin why Li Haoyang suddenly became like this.

But that doesn't matter, because the senior who had been getting close to Liu Bingxin these past few days appeared at the classroom door after class.

Shuai Kun, a third-year student.

When he first pursued Tang Enqi, he waited outside the girls' dormitory in order to go on a date with her. Now that he has changed his target, he is using the same method and waiting outside Liu Bingxin's classroom.

Shuai Kun, as his name suggests, is very handsome, with one-third the looks of Shen Qiao. He wears overalls and has his hair parted in the middle.

Luo Ye had met this person before, and he told his three roommates about this senior.

Suddenly, the demeanor of the four people in room 515 changed.

Li Haoyang transformed into an awakened lion, Shen Qiao's eyes narrowed, resembling a cool and aloof school heartthrob, and even Wang Dachui looked like a snarling teddy bear.

Soon, most of the students had left, leaving only the four students from room 515, as well as Tang Enqi and Liu Bingxin.

Seeing that there were few people in the class, Shuai Kun walked straight in and headed towards Liu Bingxin.

The latter's face showed a hint of panic. She hadn't expected that this senior would be so bold as to wait for her at the door of her classroom.

Her boyfriend is still around.

"Junior Bingxin, want to go have dinner together?" Shuai Kun sat down next to Liu Bingxin with a smile on his face.

Liu Bingxin shook her head. Although she wasn't a good girl, she wasn't shameless enough to agree to have dinner with her suitor in front of her boyfriend.

But she didn't want Shuai Kun to know she had a boyfriend.

Just as she was about to refuse, she heard a loud slam on the table.

Li Haoyang stood up and slammed his hand on the table.

The muscle lines on his arms were clearly visible, making it look particularly frightening.

Seeing this, Luo Ye, Wang Dachui, and Shen Qiao also stood up.

"Eat your damn dinner!"

"Brothers, beat him up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four men rushed up, dragged Shuai Kun into a blind spot of the camera, and beat him up.
