Ch.38
“I understand, Senior Sister.”
Luo Ye responded seriously.
Then he got busy, started to chop melons and vegetables, put unnecessary things in the refrigerator, and finally he found that the refrigerator couldn’t hold them at all.
To anyone else, it might have seemed like he was preparing for a grand celebration.
In his eagerness to impress, he had gone overboard with his shopping.
Now he realized that chasing after a girl shouldn’t be rushed; he needed to take it one step at a time and approach it with a calm mindset.
Speaking of which, when should he confess his feelings to his Senior Sister?
Luo Ye began to seriously ponder this question.
“Junior,”
Su Bai Zhou called from the kitchen, half her body sticking out, holding a spoon. “Come help.”
“Coming, Senior Sister.”
Luo Ye’s train of thought was interrupted, and he hurried into the kitchen.
Before long, dinner was ready.
Since it was just the two of them, Su Bai Zhou hadn’t cooked much.
However, she had already thought of a way to deal with the surplus of ingredients Luo Ye had bought.
She planned to make boxed meals with the meat and seafood to prevent them from spoiling quickly. These boxed meals could be preserved and taken to Luo Ye’s roommates when school started again.
Otherwise, with just the two of them, the fresh ingredients would spoil in a day or two.
After dinner, Su Bai Zhou sat on the sofa watching TV while Luo Ye washed the dishes in the kitchen.
When he finished, he joined her on the sofa.
They sat at opposite ends, eyes fixed on the TV.
Of course, neither was actually paying attention to the show.
After a long while, Su Bai Zhou asked, “Is your family very wealthy?”
Luo Ye was taken aback by the question.
She must have inferred this from the ingredients he bought tonight.
Scratching his head, he replied, “I have a part-time job, so I’ve earned some money.”
Su Bai Zhou didn’t probe further, nor did she ask about his part-time job. She simply said, “Next time, you don’t need to buy such expensive things.”
“I understand, Senior Sister.”
Soon, it was bedtime. Su Bai Zhou stood up.
“Time to sleep.”
“Okay.”
They each returned to their own rooms.
In Luo Ye’s room, there were no blankets, but the weather in early October was mild enough that he wouldn’t feel cold without one.
Luo Ye took out his phone and started typing.
Meanwhile, Su Bai Zhou was also busy with her computer-based part-time work in her room.
Two hours later, Luo Ye finished writing a thousand words and stretched. Glancing at the time, he saw it was half past midnight.
He quietly opened his door and peeked into the dark living room.
The bathroom light was on, and a graceful silhouette was visible inside, taking a shower.
Luo Ye quietly closed the door, his heart pounding.
Why was his Senior Sister showering at this hour?
He knew her sleep schedule was irregular, but he hadn’t expected her to shower in the middle of the night.
But think about it, when Luo Ye was in the living room, Su Bai Zhou naturally couldn’t take a shower. Only when she was sure Luo Ye might be asleep, she came out to take a shower.
But Luo Ye didn’t fall asleep. The computer was not there, so he typed on his mobile phone without making any sound.
The room was silent except for the sound of water from the bathroom echoing through the living room.
Sitting in his room, Luo Ye absentmindedly scrolled through short videos.
In the freshmen group chat, a rich second-generation student was showing off again, posting photos of his luxury car and asking about parking.
Every few sentences, he tagged Tang Enqi, seemingly very interested in the new school beauty.
Speaking of which, this rich second generation is also one of the three most influential figures among the freshmen, named Gao Yuming.
The other two were Shen Qiao, the handsome new school heartthrob, and of course, Tang Enqi, the new school beauty.
Although he is not the only rich second-generation in the school, he is the only one who likes show off everywhere.
Reading the boastful messages in the freshmen group was Luo Ye’s way of passing the time.
Soon, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
Su Bai Zhou, now wearing pajamas, came out of the bathroom and returned to her room.
The main bedroom light was still on, indicating she was still working.
Luo Ye quietly left his room to use the bathroom.
The whole bathroom was filled with a strong fragrance, which Luo Ye was very familiar with. This was the fragrance of the senior sister.
After a quick visit, Luo Ye returned to his room.
Although they lived under the same roof, Luo Ye still chose to send a message to the senior sister.
“Go to bed early, Senior Sister.”
Seeing the message, Su Bai Zhou stared at her phone, lost in thought.
She looked at her computer. She had only completed 70% of this part-time job. If she wanted to finish it completely, it would take at least an hour.
Normally, she wouldn’t be this busy during the holidays, but she had something to do tomorrow, so she decided to stay up late.
Tomorrow, she needed to keep her schedule clear.
At 2 AM, Su Bai Zhou stretched and prepared for bed.
Seeing that the light in the fairy senior’s room was finally turned off, Luo Ye also climbed onto the bed, closed his eyes, and began to sleep.
The next morning, at 8 AM, Luo Ye woke up.
He changed his clothes and prepared to wash up.
After leaving the room, Luo Ye looked at the neatly arranged breakfast on the table, and a surprised expression appeared in his eyes.
A basket of steamed buns, two sticks of fried dough, two cups of soy milk, and two tea eggs.
Su Bai Zhou was sitting at the table, waiting for Luo Ye to wake up.
Luo Ye walked into the bathroom and realized he didn’t have toothbrush or a towel, so he could only walk back and sit in front of the fairy senior sister.
Seeing Luo Ye looking a bit groggy, Su Bai Zhou asked casually, “Are you always like this?”
“Not really. Staying up late makes getting up early tough.”
Luo Ye yawned and popped a steamed bun into his mouth.
As he ate, he asked, “Senior Sister, when did you get breakfast?”
Su Bai Zhou, dressed in loose black clothes with slightly damp hair, looked like she had just finished exercising.
Luo Ye had seen her like this before.
On the playground that day.
“I went for a morning run and bought breakfast on the way back.”
Su Bai Zhou propped her chin on her hand, watching Luo Ye expectantly.
Feeling embarrassed, Luo Ye lowered his head and ate quietly.
For some reason, Su Bai Zhou enjoyed watching Luo Ye eat.
He was adorable when he ate, focusing all his attention on the food.
Luo Ye, on the other hand was just thinking that he must do the same as his senior sister and run every morning to exercise his body, so as to avoid poor health when he gets old.
Of course, it wasn’t just because he wanted to run with her every day.
