"The third article is unfair!" Yang Ke said. "Why add 'especially Yang's party'?"
"Because you're always unconscious. Who knows if you'll bring a girlfriend back one day?"
"My personal principle is not to date during college. Saying that is clearly disrespectful to me!" Yang Ke said. "But I'm afraid someone might violate this rule. I think it should be changed to 'especially Ye's party'!"
"I don't date in college either!" Ye Xuan gritted her teeth.
Yang Ke smiled, looking disbelieving. He didn't mean to do this, but it still irritated Ye Xuan.
"Then let's change the third article to 'no dating in college' and make it a key point mentioned in the first article! Dare you?" Ye Xuan asked.
"What's there to dare?" Yang Ke said, indifferent.
The agreement was signed, but the tense atmosphere in the room did not ease for a while.
There was a knock on the door. Both of them looked at each other, neither wanting to open it. However, just as they hesitated, the door opened by itself. Both of them were startled and looked towards the door, where Tong Tong walked in.
"Oh! You're both here!" Tong Tong seemed a bit embarrassed and had to find a way out for herself. "Ye Xuan, why are you here too? Are you guys..."
"Tong Tong, come here!" Ye Xuan called Tong Tong over and questioned, "Did you tell Yang Ke my computer password?"
"Ye Xuan, since Yang Ke asked, I thought you would tell him too!" Tong Tong made an excuse.
"You! Betraying even good friends! Not worthy of trust!"
"Ye Xuan, weren't you supposed to go home? Why are you here?" Tong Tong wished she could immediately know everything about why Ye Xuan was here, but she suppressed her desire and approached step by step.
"The train was delayed, so I decided not to go back!" Ye Xuan lied.
"Are you staying here..." Tong Tong closed her eyes, her heart pounding, not daring to think about what might happen next.
"Tong Tong, come here, I have something to ask you!" Yang Ke finally found the root of the problem today. It was all because of Tong Tong's key. "Where did you get your key?"
Tong Tong originally planned to lie to get through this, but Yang Ke's eyes were fixed on her the whole time, so she had to tell the truth. "Last time I treated you to dinner, I secretly made a copy of your key while you weren't paying attention. Actually, it was for your own good! I thought in case you lost your key, there would be a spare!"
"Lost? I take good care of my keys. How could I lose them?" Yang Ke shook the key in his hand in front of Tong Tong. With a slip of his hand, the key flew into the kitchen. Yang Ke didn't have time to chase after it, and the key fell into the drain. Yang Ke suddenly became tongue-tied, not knowing whether to regret saying the wrong thing or regret doing the wrong thing.
Ye Xuan looked at Yang Ke's embarrassed appearance, feeling extreme schadenfreude.
"How about that? Did I guess it right?" Tong Tong inexplicably became excited, proud of her foresight.
"Give it to me!" Yang Ke reached out to Tong Tong. "Give me your key. Thanks for your foresight!"
After handing the key to Yang Ke, Tong Tong withdrew it and said, "Let me make you another one, in case you lose it again!"
"No need!" Yang Ke snatched the key from Tong Tong and said, "I will take good care of it!"
Tong Tong watched Yang Ke enter the bedroom with a sideways glance. She smirked mysteriously and opened her hand, revealing another key in her palm.
"I knew this day would come!" Tong Tong said smugly.
Tong Tong's arrival brightened Ye Xuan's eyes. In Ye Xuan's view, Tong Tong was the best weapon to deal with Yang Ke. As long as she joined forces with Tong Tong, she could defeat Yang Ke and seek revenge.
"Forcing me not to date in college, let's see how I make Tong Tong deal with you!" Ye Xuan thought to herself. She called Tong Tong over and whispered, "Tong Tong, I've found out for you. Yang Ke doesn't have a girlfriend yet. You need to act quickly!"
"Really?" Tong Tong said, pleased with herself. "How did you find out?"
"Of course, I know!" Ye Xuan pointed to a piece of A4 paper on the living room wall. Tong Tong looked up and saw five big words and a punctuation mark written in the middle: "No dating in college!"
"What's this?" Tong Tong looked puzzled.
"That's our agreement—no dating in college!" Ye Xuan said.
"What? Why?" Tong Tong looked aggrieved. "Why did you make this agreement with him?"
"It has nothing to do with me. He made this principle for himself, and he even forced me to agree!"
"What?" Tong Tong couldn't believe her ears. "He's really over the line!"
"Yeah!" Ye Xuan added fuel to the fire. "So, Tong Tong, you need to act quickly and make him eat his words. Let's see how arrogant he is then!"
Tong Tong nodded, then suddenly realized something. Blushing, she said, "What does this have to do with me?"
Ye Xuan laughed inwardly but said, "Right, it has nothing to do with you! But I'm going back to my room now. You think about it on your own!"
In the spacious living room, only Tong Tong was left. She boredly touched this and looked at that, finally fixing her gaze on the words on the wall—No dating in college! Hatred gleamed in Tong Tong's eyes. She wished she could smash this wall to pieces with a big hammer. Tong Tong searched for tools everywhere and finally saw scissors and knives on the table.
"Watch how I deal with you!" Tong Tong held scissors in one hand and a knife in the other. She climbed onto a chair, ready to make a big move, when Yang Ke came out.
"What... what are you doing?" Yang Ke was startled by Tong Tong.
"Nothing... nothing!" Tong Tong hurriedly got off the chair and hid the scissors and knife behind her. "I... just looked around casually. There seemed to be a bug on the wall just now!"
Suddenly, Yang Ke remembered something. He called Tong Tong over and said, "Tong Tong, are we good friends?"
"Of course we are!" Tong Tong said, "And we're the best of friends!"
"Good! Can you do me a favor?"
"Of course!" Tong Tong agreed without hesitation.
"Can you help me drive Ye Xuan out of here?"
"Why?" Tong Tong asked confusedly. "We're all good friends! Why are you treating her like this?"
"Of course, I know she's a friend, but her staying here is not good for you, me, or anyone!" Yang Ke explained. "I can help her find another place to stay, and after she moves out, it will be convenient for everyone!"
