Jiang Yin asked in confusion, "Why are you asking me this? Why don't you just call Cheng Lu directly?"
Xu Xiuwen smiled bitterly, "Senior sister, I don't have Cheng Lu's phone number."
Jiang Yin chuckled at his response, "I almost forgot, Cheng Lu never gives her number to guys."
After a brief laugh, Jiang Yin stopped and said, "Alright, I'll help you make the call."
"Thank you, Senior sister. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"I'll believe it when I see it," Jiang Yin said before hanging up.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but feel bemused. He wondered if he had any trust at all in Jiang Yin's eyes.
But then he remembered, he hadn't even treated her to dinner yet as promised last time.
After the call ended, Xu Xiuwen noticed that Dong Jun and Yang Baishan looked odd.
He asked impatiently, "What's with your expressions? Just spit it out."
Dong Jun nudged Yang Baishan with his elbow, signaling him to speak.
Yang Baishan promptly asked, "Xiuwen, are you very close to Senior Jiang Yin?"
"It's okay, why?"
Yang Baishan continued, "You're not playing both sides, are you?"
Xu Xiuwen burst out laughing.
He stared at Yang Baishan and asked, "Come on, explain to me, which two sides am I playing?"
Seeing Xu Xiuwen's genuine expression, Yang Baishan realized he had been mistaken and chuckled, "My bad, forget what I said."
Xu Xiuwen shook his head.
How could his pure senior-junior relationship with Jiang Yin be misunderstood like this?
He didn't bother explaining and coincidentally, Jiang Yin called at that moment.
She got straight to the point, "I asked around, Cheng Lu doesn't have class this afternoon and is currently in the activity room of our Literary and Arts Department. Go find her there."
"Okay."
"You know the location?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I won't say more. I have things to do, bye."
"Okay, thank you, Senior sister."
Knowing that Cheng Lu was in the Literary and Arts Department's activity room, Xu Xiuwen prepared to go find her now and have a chat.
Dong Jun, seeing the situation, said, "Then I'll go back to the classroom first."
Xu Xiuwen noticed that Yang Baishan didn't leave and curiously asked, "Old Yang, why aren't you going back to the classroom?"
Yang Baishan looked conflicted, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Xiuwen, are you going to see Cheng Lu now?"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Can I come with you?"
Xu Xiuwen was taken aback by the request.
He stared at Yang Baishan, carefully assessing him.
"Tell me, why do you want to go see Cheng Lu with me?"
Yang Baishan stammered for a while, but in the end, didn't say a word.
Xu Xiuwen suddenly thought of a possibility.
He couldn't help but ask, "Do you have feelings for Cheng Lu?"
Yang Baishan reacted as if his tail had been stepped on, denying in shock, "How could I possibly like Cheng Lu? Don't talk nonsense."
Xu Xiuwen remained silent, quietly looking at him.
Yang Baishan gradually became quieter, his face filled with guilt.
Perhaps Xu Xiuwen's gaze was too intense, making Yang Baishan unable to bear it.
Finally, he muttered softly, "I admit, I don't dislike Cheng Lu. I think she's quite nice."
For Yang Baishan to say this, it basically confirmed his feelings for Cheng Lu without a doubt.
Xu Xiuwen was somewhat speechless.
Since meeting Song Siyu or Bai Yue'er, he had never developed feelings for a roommate's girlfriend or fiancée. Instead, it was his roommate who fell for his girlfriend first.
Indeed, in Xu Xiuwen's eyes, although Cheng Lu wasn't his girlfriend yet, she would definitely be in the end.
Cheng Lu was very outstanding, and it was normal for guys to like her.
But it made him somewhat uncomfortable that his roommate also liked her.
After all, just the day before yesterday morning, Yang Baishan still didn't have feelings for Cheng Lu. It was only after the dinner party the night before yesterday that Yang Baishan developed feelings for Cheng Lu.
So, it wasn't surprising.
Two days ago at the dinner party, Cheng Lu was graceful and approachable, even he was quite infatuated with her, not to mention Yang Baishan.
However, Xu Xiuwen wasn't too worried because Yang Baishan was the typical type with excessive hormone secretion.
During the beginning of the school year, he doesn't know how many girls he had liked, such as Zhu Ping, who was later taken away by Liu Liang. He pursued her right from the beginning of the school year, but unfortunately, it didn't succeed.
Moreover, Cheng Lu couldn't possibly like Yang Baishan.
So Xu Xiuwen didn't consider Yang Baishan as a competitor at all.
He thought for a moment and finally said, "Okay, then you'll come with me."
"Really? Thank you, Xiuwen!" Yang Baishan thought Xu Xiuwen wouldn't agree, but unexpectedly, he did.
Yang Baishan was overjoyed, excited beyond words.
Xu Xiuwen looked at him, his expression calm, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
Xu Xiuwen and Yang Baishan arrived at Jiaotong University and found the office of the Department of Literature and Art. Almost all the other departments of the university student union and various student associations were also here.
Xu Xiuwen had been here many times before, so he was quite familiar with the place.
He found the room with the sign "Department of Literature and Art" and glanced inside through the small window on the door.
The activity room was somewhat similar to the rehearsal rooms of entertainment companies, with one wall covered in mirrors and the floor covered with wooden boards, suitable for dancing barefoot.
Xu Xiuwen soon spotted Cheng Lu.
As he was about to push the door open, he suddenly noticed Cheng Lu was dancing.
She was wearing a sky-blue long dress, and the hem of the dress fluttered as she danced.
She also wore a layer of tight pants on her legs, similar to those worn by ballet dancers, black and thin, somewhat like lace material, very beautiful.
In his previous life, Cheng Lu couldn't dance due to an injury,
So this was the first time Xu Xiuwen had seen Cheng Lu dance.
At this moment, Cheng Lu, just as he had described in the text message he sent to Song Siyu, was like a butterfly when dancing, and a butterfly flower when stopping, her dance graceful and admirable.
Cheng Lu danced for a minute before stopping.
She stood with her back to Xu Xiuwen, who could only see her silhouette.
Cheng Lu's shoulders were rather flat, but her back was straight, exuding a unique charm even from behind.
Classical dance easily cultivates one's demeanor, and Cheng Lu has been learning classical dance since childhood, hence her exceptional grace.
Just her back alone is as beautiful as a painting.
It's a pity there's no smartphone; otherwise, he could have taken a photo, perfect for a screensaver.
Because the window on the door was small, Xu Xiuwen occupied the position, leaving Yang Baishan waiting on the side. He didn't know what was happening inside, and Xu Xiuwen remained silent. Unable to resist, he asked, "Xiuwen, is there someone inside?"
Only then did Xu Xiuwen come to his senses. He hummed in acknowledgement and then gently knocked on the door.
The knock startled Cheng Lu in the activity room.
She quickly turned around and saw someone outside the door.
She recognized it was Xu Xiuwen.
Thinking about how he might have just witnessed her dancing, Cheng Lu gave him a disdainful look.
Xu Xiuwen didn't mind. He twisted the doorknob with his hand, but it didn't budge, seemingly locked from the inside. He had no choice but to say, "Cheng Lu, could you come out for a moment? I need to talk to you."
