Holding her handbag and phone, Xia Xiaoyu hurried out of the dormitory. The entire Old Dormitory building was unusually quiet, with not a sound to be heard.
It felt like an abandoned old house, empty and desolate!
There weren't many residents in the dormitory, and most lived on the first to fourth floors. Only rooms 514, 511, and 516 were occupied on the fifth floor.
Three dormitories were occupied, while the rest were empty! Moreover, this time of day was peak hours for students going out to have fun; who would stay alone in the dormitory out of boredom?
Thus, the long corridor felt even quieter, with only the sound of Xia Xiaoyu's flat shoes echoing in the emptiness.
Tap tap tap—
The sound came without rhythm, creating an eerie atmosphere in the dark corridor.
Xia Xiaoyu felt her heart rate noticeably quicken, and a strange sense of tension rose within her for no apparent reason.
Fortunately, perhaps this was just an illusion brought on by her nerves. She hadn't encountered anything strange.
However, just as she reached the small grove beside the dormitory building, Xia Xiaoyu suddenly stopped in her tracks.
A tall and handsome boy with long hair and a charming smile was looking at her.
Leng Yuchen.
Xia Xiaoyu remembered that the handsome guy in front of her was the one who had asked about the library last week.
Although it seemed from his expression and situation at that time that he wasn't actually looking for the library, it was hard for Xia Xiaoyu, who had never met him before, to understand what he meant.
"Are you the only one here?"
Leng Yuchen leaned against the tree trunk, still wearing a relaxed smile as he looked at the puzzled Xia Xiaoyu.
"Yes!" Out of politeness, Xia Xiaoyu smiled slightly in response.
"I didn't expect a girl like you to be so bold!"
The smile on Leng Yuchen's face didn't fade; it was calm, but suddenly Xia Xiaoyu felt a chilling undertone within that smile.
"What are you doing here?"
Xia Xiaoyu looked at Leng Yuchen with confusion; this was the Girls' Dormitory. How did he end up here?
"I'm waiting for you."
Leng Yuchen seemed unfazed by Xia Xiaoyu's shocked expression, still smiling elegantly.
"Waiting for me?"
Xia Xiaoyu was somewhat astonished. She had only met the person in front of her once, and they were far from being at the level of friends who could walk together.
Looking at Leng Yuchen's ever-present smile, Xia Xiaoyu felt a bit indifferent. From the way he showed no signs of discomfort, she sensed that his smile was not only meaningful but also carried a familiarity that suggested they knew each other well.
"Can we have a meal together? Well, consider it a thank you for pointing out the library to me last time!"
Leng Yuchen showed no hesitation, appearing as if he was flowing like water, without any sense of awkwardness.
"Um, I don't think..."
Xia Xiaoyu's eyes shifted slightly as she was about to decline. However, Leng Yuchen interjected.
"Well, I know a well-known restaurant. I don't think you would refuse!"
He still wore that calm smile, and on the surface, it was impossible to tell what he was really thinking.
"Um..." Xia Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, but after seeing Leng Yuchen's peaceful smile, she paused before nodding. "Alright then!"
As she conversed with Leng Yuchen, Xia Xiaoyu could tell from his demeanor that he was a very cultured man. Although such men were generally favored by girls, Xia Xiaoyu felt something different about him.
It came from his gaze. Yes, every time he looked at her, despite the charming smile on his face, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes?
Dining together felt somewhat awkward; however, Leng Yuchen showed no signs of discomfort. Instead, he presented himself with grace and gentlemanly demeanor, being very considerate.
At this point, Xia Xiaoyu couldn't help but think of Xu Qian's friend—the one with light blue hair and bright yet melancholic eyes, a face that could enchant anyone.
It must be said that in Xia Xiaoyu's eyes, even Leng Yuchen isn't that handsome when compared to her inner thoughts.
However, when comparing their attitudes, it becomes evident.
Leng Yuchen is generous and considerate, appearing to be very attentive—at least on the surface.
When contrasted with Xu Qian's friends, Xia Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel anger rising within her.
During their first meeting in the ghost realm with Lin Xi, he made a cold remark upon his arrival and then casually left for a while. As soon as they exited the ghost realm, he unceremoniously left the two women stranded on the desolate road at night.
Is this something a handsome man would do?
During dinner, Xia Xiaoyu still felt somewhat restrained. Perhaps it was because Leng Yuchen was too gentle and considerate, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.
By the time they returned, it was already past nine in the evening. Xia Xiaoyu politely declined Leng Yuchen's offer to see her home.
Although she found it strange that Leng Yuchen, a senior about to graduate, would show such great interest in her—especially considering his evident affluent background and good looks, which surely attracted many girls—she couldn't help but wonder why he was particularly interested in her.
