“How could that be?” Yi Da’s tone was defiant.
“That’s good then,” Ah Xin said, placing the flowers on the shoe rack at the entrance without even glancing at me. I doubted if he had even noticed me, a living person standing at 162 cm and weighing 52 kg. He closed the door, and his footsteps eventually faded into the air. Dust motes danced in the sunlight, proving the world was in constant motion. Yi Da tilted his head slightly, his hair covering his eyes.
“Yi Da,” I said, “we seem to be quite similar, don’t we?” We carried the same scent. He didn’t look at me; I felt he was avoiding my gaze.

This isn’t a hard story to guess, especially since my EQ has always been high. While lost in my thoughts, I suddenly noticed a bottle of milk tea moving horizontally in front of me. I looked up to see Kangxi, smiling, showing only half a front tooth.
“So you work at the coffee shop, huh? How much for this milk tea?”
“It’s on me,” I said, carefully observing his missing tooth. That day, when entering my phone number, I realized the mysterious texter was indeed Kangxi, which was quite disappointing. Why hadn’t I encountered a Cinderella miracle? Perhaps because I could never stay in one place waiting for my prince to rescue me; I preferred to rescue the prince myself.
“Ah, so generous, truly loved by all.”
“Ha, I think drinking more milk tea might help you grow that half tooth back.”
“Oh, thanks for the secret remedy.”
His playful demeanor lessened a bit, which made me feel a bit happier.
“By the way, Ah Xin changed his phone number. I was just talking to him about the next band practice.”
“Ah? Why did he change it?”
“Huh? You didn’t know Ah Xin changes his number every three months to avoid those girls who get his number through various means?”
I was dizzy from the news. “Oh.”
“Here’s his new number; he asked me to pass it on to you.” Ah Xin was still so popular, which at least proved my taste wasn’t bad, haha. When Kangxi stepped out, he glanced at the newspaper rack, picked up the outermost copy of The Times, and said, “There’s this newspaper here, huh? Xiao Yu, did you know? A-Xin has a column in it, you know, he never talks about it to outsiders. I’m only telling you, but you have to keep it a secret.” Then, he winked mischievously with his right eye. I was taken aback, not quite understanding the meaning behind his friendly wink, which seemed like a gesture of support from a close sister. Kangxi should be on Senior Xuan’s side, right? Although he’s not from Renfu University, he’s always wandering around the campus. Could his intentions towards Senior Xuan be too obvious?
“Oh, I need to write in my diary,” said Qiqi, lying flat on the bed in a star shape. Whenever she felt oppressed, she would scream about writing in her diary. “I’m exhausted!! Exams are inhumane!!” After studying all day, even my nose boogers seemed to have grown. I thought I could fall asleep within 3 seconds of hitting the pillow. Just as I was about to sink into the warmth of my bed with a hot water bottle, my phone started vibrating like crazy. If it keeps shaking, I’ll throw you away, I threatened the silvery white phone.
