The people in the dormitory were quiet for a while.

  Then they began to discuss it in full swing.

  Qin Fang was the first to answer: “Usually after a man confesses and the woman replies with this phrase, it means ‘you’re a nice guy ah and you’re good to me but I won’t be with you and you’re dead to me.”

  Second eldest also said, “That’s pretty much what it means.
Anyway, it’s the Tiger Balm used to reject a guy.”

  “Oh, I feel that your analysis was quite on point, ah, Fang’er.” The oldest laughed mischievously, “Have you been given the good guy card one too many times?”

  Qin Fang burst out: “Scram! Laozi’s so handsome—how is that possible!”

  Su Lin had been silent the whole time but, hearing this sentence, he looked up at Qin Fang’s face.

  He was somewhat unconvinced: “Are you handsome?”

  Qin Fang: “……”

  Qin Fang gritted his teeth and said, “Although Laozi is a tiny bit worse than you, of course Laozi is handsome!”

  Su Lin was still very unconvinced: “If someone’s handsome….
they won’t be rejected using a good guy card?”

  “It also depends on how handsome.” Qin Fang curled his lips then his eyes fell on Su Lin’s flawless face.
He narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled even more, “For example, with your looks, if you were ever given a good guy card by a girl, I’ll eat my own head.”

  Su Lin: “…………”

  …… Damn.

  The more they spoke, the more annoyed he got.

  His hair was no longer dripping wet and he threw his towel to the side.

  The phone placed on his bed suddenly vibrated.

  He grabbed it and casually glanced at the screen.

  Then immediately froze.

  [Deer OO]: [Voice Message]

  “……”

  Su Lin unlocked his phone and opened WeChat to play her voice message.  

  - “Senior, after your interview, could you come to the library?”  

  He blanked for a moment.

  Subconsciously, he looked at the time displayed at the top of his phone.

  8:30.

  It wasn’t early anymore….
after the interview, she went to the library? 

  Su Lin typed: Okay.

  He thought it over and sent another text: Going over right now.  

  He changed his shoes, and with his hair still damp, took his keys and left the dormitory.  

  —  

  It was almost October, and there’s already a significant temperature difference between night and day.
He didn’t feel it when he was in the dorm, but once he came out, his wet hair felt a little chilly.  

  Most people would be in their dormitory at this time, so there were only a few people in the library.
When he arrived at the building, he immediately saw Lu Yuanyuan standing on the steps.  

  She was also looking in his direction, and began to descend the steps.  

  C University’s library was very large.
The steps in front of the building were long and wide and the exact number of steps couldn’t be counted.
He didn’t know if it was a personal habit, but she bounced when she descended the steps.
She was small and, from far away, looked like a small rabbit.  

  Su Lin recalled, somewhat abruptly, that she seemed to have a backpack with a small white rabbit hanging from it.

  …… It was really especially fitting with her.  

  Lu Yuanyuan finally finished going down the flight of stairs before jogging to him.

  Her clothes were the same that she was wearing during the interview just now: a white t-shirt and a knee-length skirt, revealing calves that were white and thin.

  The campus was densely populated with illuminated streetlights.
The light was slightly yellowish and hit her face with a soft glow.  

  After she stood still, she was first surprised: “Senior, your….
hair isn’t dry?”

  “…… Mm.” He wiped his hair until it wasn’t dripping before he left, but you could still tell it was wet, “Were you looking for me for something?”

  As soon as he said that, a halo of blush surfaced on her face along with her usual embarrassed expression.
She smoothed her hair with one hand and moved closer to him the other.  

  “This….
is for you.”  

  Su Lin paused, then looked down and saw what was in her hand.

  It was unexpectedly….
milk tea?  

  “Ah….
just what I owed you before.
Here.” She said, and pressed it toward him again.  

  After he took it-  

  “I’ll go back to the dormitory first, then.
Goodbye, senior!”

  Without even finishing her sentence, practically the next second, the young girl in front of him immediately turned around and fled toward the direction of the girls’ dormitory.  

  “……”

  Su Lin stood in place, looking at her back grow smaller and smaller for a long time before he came back to his senses.  

  He walked back the same path back to the boys’ dormitory building.

  Downstairs, he opened the bag, stabbed the straw in and took a sip.

  Then quickly wrinkled his brow.  

  …… Why was it so sweet.

  

  He lifted the bag in his hand and squinted to read the sticker.

  Pearl milk tea.

  No ice.

  Extra sugar.  

  …… Alright.

  He smiled a little and was just about to go upstairs when the phone in his pocket vibrated.  

  He unlocked it and went on WeChat.  

  [Deer OO]: Senior, drink the milk tea and don’t be unhappy ah ^o^ ~~~

  “……”

  Su Lin looked at the three wavy lines.

  With a mouth full of excessively sweet milk tea, he wordlessly bent his lips.  

  Imagining her very slowly poking the keyboard to type.

  He lifted his hand to press the corners of his eyes.  

  Fuck, how could he be unhappy.

  Happy enough to fly.  

  —  

  Su Lin stood under the dormitory building for a while, and took another look around to make sure there was no one.

  He made a phone call.  

  When the call connected, he answered a few everyday questions.  

  “Mom,” He lowered his voice and cut to the chase, “You and my dad were together when you were in college, right?”

  “……”

  “Why did you….
say yes to Dad then?”  

  There was five seconds of silence on the other side.  

  “…… Ahhhhhhh you have a girl you like? Do you, do you! Hurry up and tell me!!!”

  “……” Su Lin looked at the milk tea in his hand.
His tongue pressed against his jaw and smiled as he whispered, “Mm….”  

  Mother Su gave another excited shout on the other end.  

  When she calmed down, she began to answer properly, “But….
Ah Lin, your father was different when he was young.
He was very handsome, okay.”

  “……?”

  She meant that he….
wasn’t handsome enough?  

  Su Lin frowned and thought about it.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute-  

  “So, it was Mom who chased him.”  

  Su Lin: “………”

  Su Lin hung up the phone without another word.  

 

The author has something to say.

Lin ge: Why did I make this phone call?

Why didn’t Yuanyuan chase me because she thought I was handsome????

Why????????
