That night, Luo Ye tossed and turned in his bed, unable to sleep.
The dormitory echoed with Li Haoyang's clear snoring, though it was noisy, Luo Ye had grown accustomed to the sound after half a month.
In his mind, he recalled the events from the game earlier and couldn't help but open the chat interface to send a message to 'Gourmet Hotpot Lover'.
Luo Ye: Are you a senior sister?
Su Bai Zhou, who was tidying up her room in the teachers' apartment, heard the notification sound and saw the message, replying to him.
Gourmet Hotpot Lover: Yes.
Upon seeing this, Luo Ye realized that the two girls Gu Mingxuan had brought into the game during their gaming sessions were likely his students.
This guy actually dragged his own students into playing games; doesn't he feel guilty about being a teacher?
However, since Gu Mingxuan teaches computer science, could this senior sister also be majoring in computer science?
With this thought, Luo Ye sent another message.
Luo Ye: Do you know Senior Sister Su Bai Zhou?
Seeing this message, Su Bai Zhou sat on the sofa, a hint of mischievousness suddenly surfacing in her mind.
The younger brother of Professor Gu, the little boy who slaughtered enemies in the game, was actually so shy and pure in real life.
Gourmet Hotpot Lover: I know her well.
Luo Ye was slightly stunned.
He had just asked casually, not expecting the other party to not only know her but to be very familiar with her.
Receiving this response, Luo Ye didn't know what to say next, feeling a bit nervous.
His prolonged silence made Su Bai Zhou cross her legs and, after a moment, she proactively asked:
Gourmet Hotpot Lover: Have you fallen for her?
Seeing those four words, Luo Ye blushed deeply even though he was lying in the male dormitory.
Given his looks and grades, many girls had liked him since childhood.
But because he had been secretly infatuated with his goddess for three years, he had rejected all other girls' advances.
Moreover, his parents met in college, so Luo Ye also wanted to start dating in college.
He was still a pure young man, having never dated before and not skilled at dealing with girls.
After a long pause, Luo Ye replied with "No".
A slight smile curved Su Bai Zhou's lips.
Two words, hesitated for three minutes.
With her looks, she had suitors of all kinds.
But meeting such a pure little junior was a first for her.
Luo Ye: Senior Sister, what's your name?
Su Bai Zhou thought for a moment and sent a name over.
Gourmet Hotpot Lover: Qin Yuwen.
The two girls Gu Mingxuan had brought into the game were indeed her and Qin Yuwen.
So mentioning Qin Yuwen's name now seemed perfectly reasonable.
Luo Ye: What a coincidence??
Luo Ye was no stranger to the name Qin Yuwen.
She was Hammer Brother's dream girl.
Thinking this, Luo Ye sent another message: My roommate likes you.
(Wang Dahammer: ???)
Seeing this, Su Bai Zhou couldn't help but smile slightly, finding it amusing.
Who chats with girls like this?
Unbeknownst to them, they had already chatted until late at night.
Chatting with Luo Ye felt to Su Bai Zhou like talking to a child.
She really enjoyed this feeling, as the other person's words exuded a kind of clear-headed foolishness.
However, that night, Luo Ye kept asking about Su Bai Zhou.
By the end of their chat, Luo Ye couldn't even bring himself to ask for her Green Bubble contact.
After all, he and the hotpot lover had always used QQ for gaming, while Su Bai Zhou's Green Bubble was mostly for relatives and some close female friends.
Su Bai Zhou smiled slightly and, under the name Qin Yuwen, typed: I'll send it to you; I know her well.
Hotpot Lover: [Green Bubble QR code].
But Luo Ye was so tired that he fell asleep without realizing it.
Su Bai Zhou noticed that no one had added her on Green Bubble and that there was no reply on QQ, which made her frown. 'This stutterer... did he fall asleep?'
Suddenly, she raised an eyebrow, looking at the hundreds of messages with Luo Ye on her phone and the still-unpacked room, showing a thoughtful expression.
What did she do last night?
Then, her brows relaxed, and she murmured, 'Helping Professor Gu take care of his brother, adding a Green Bubble isn't a big deal...' When Luo Ye woke up, he casually opened his phone and saw the last two messages from 'Qin Yuwen' senior from yesterday.
He then saw a Green Bubble QR code. 'Qin Yuwen' said it belonged to Su Bai Zhou.
Luo Ye couldn't sleep anymore.
The fairy senior's Green Bubble?
Luo Ye clicked on it directly and saw the fairy senior's Green Bubble personal page.
They weren't friends yet, so they couldn't see her Moments, only her nickname... which was Su Bai Zhou, simple and plain, using her own name for the Green Bubble.
As for Luo Ye, his real name was Luoye, and his game name was Luoye Guigen, though it was a homophone, it was also directly using his own name.
What should he do, add or not add?
But shouldn't the fairy senior not know him?
Should he say he was the guy who sang with her at the freshmen party?
Or the day they both took shelter from the rain?
Given Su Bai Zhou's personality, these reasons would never pass her scrutiny.
And if rejected, he probably wouldn't get a second chance. Luo Ye sat on the bed, hesitating.
His first class started at 8:30, but he woke up at 7 and hesitated until 8:10.
'Brother Luo, why are you just sitting there? If you don't get up soon, you'll be late,' Li Haoyang reminded him.
'Huh? Oh, right away.' Luo Ye closed his phone and quickly started getting dressed.
During the first class, Luo Ye stared blankly at a Green Bubble QR code.
Three roommates looked at him curiously.
'You've been staring at it for so long, are you going to add or not?' Shen Qiao joked beside him.
'I want to, but I'm scared,' Luo Ye weakly replied. After all, this was the Green Bubble of Jiang University's campus flower.
What merit did he have? And what if he got rejected after adding? Shen Qiao glanced at the QR code card and was momentarily stunned upon seeing the three characters 'Su Bai Zhou'.
Then, he slightly curled his lips and reminded, 'Brother Luo, let me ask you, what's your relationship with her now?'
'Stranger.'
