Out of the classroom, Dai Xue’s hand holding the book tightened slightly. Yan Qing’s footsteps were quite fast, and she found it somewhat difficult to keep up. “Department Head Yan Qing.” Dai Xue couldn’t help but call out. “Oh, sorry…” Yan Qing slowed down his steps, waiting until Dai Xue was on the same line as him before continuing to walk. The corners of his mouth were turned down, obviously in a bad mood. He continued, “An Xi would send me a text message every morning, but today… there was none. So I called her phone… but it was turned off. I’m a bit worried, so I hope you can help me open the dormitory door.” “Well… An Xi… has a fever, and her phone is probably out of battery.” Dai Xue lowered her eyes, thinking this might be the first time the aloof Department Head Yan Qing had spoken so many words to her. Suddenly remembering something, Dai Xue added, “I was actually planning to look for you at noon.” “Thank you.” He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled friendly. He had always felt that he needed to get along well with An Xi’s roommates… at least, when he wasn’t by An Xi’s side, they were closest to her and would help her. “…Mm.” Looking at this smile, Dai Xue was momentarily stunned. Department Head Yan Qing… was quite good-looking. An Xi, the little girl, had good taste and was quick to act… she hoped she could also be so decisive in finding someone she liked and who was suitable for her. Arriving at the bottom of the teaching building, Dai Xue suddenly realized she had left her umbrella in the classroom in her hurry. Looking at the slightly anxious Yan Qing, she still didn’t say anything. “Dai Xue, don’t you have an umbrella?” Yan Qing noticed she was only holding books, and after a brief thought, he opened his umbrella, “Let’s go together.” “Then I’ll trouble you.” Dai Xue politely nodded and walked alongside Yan Qing, entering the rain.
