It was another weekend, and also the end of the month for the beginning of the school year.
At the end of September, after this weekend, only three days of class remained before a seven-day break.
Many couples in the "ambiguous phase" would use this weekend to define their relationship, and then plan a trip somewhere far away, somewhere they can't go home from, so they could stay in a hotel... if you know what I mean.
Or, they would go back to their own homes, starting a short-term long-distance relationship, only to return after seven days with that fresh, lovey-dovey look.
Take Li Haoyang, for example.
He was dressed in a brand new outfit today, planning to meet up with Liu Bingxin for a date, and had already planned his confession.
Wang Dachui, on the other hand, was heartbroken.
Another beauty was lost to the world, and he, Wang Dachui, couldn't offer a home to all the girls.
He patted Li Haoyang on the shoulder, saying seriously, "Coach, let me tell you, take care of Bingxin. If you treat her badly, I won't recognize you as my son anymore."
Li Haoyang scratched his head and grinned, then asked, "Dachui, do I look handsome today?"
"Handsome my foot!"
Wang Dachui was furious.
At that moment, Shen Qiao poked his head from the bed and asked, "So, Dachui, do you have a chance with the beautiful Tang?"
"I have a chance, I definitely do. Don't you know the charm of your Dachui?"
Wang Dachui puffed out his chest confidently.
However, Tang Enqi had been indifferent toward him. This weekend, he even tried to ask her out, but she turned him down politely, saying she already had plans.
Sigh, Wang Dachui, with all his good looks, was once again going to be stuck with these two guys for the weekend.
Does no one recognize his charm?
Suddenly, his expression changed as he saw Luoye, who was picking up his backpack. He couldn't help but ask, "Hey, kid, what are you up to now? You sneaked off last weekend, and now you're trying to do it again?"
"It's the Hanfu Society gathering. The Hanfu is in my backpack. I wasn't sure if we had to wear it to the gathering, so I brought it just in case."
Wang Dachui breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Luoye wasn't out on a date, he was fine.
"Coach, if your confession is successful, you're out of 515. If it fails, you're still my son!"
Li Haoyang chuckled and turned to leave the dorm.
Suddenly, Wang Dachui took a few steps toward him and said, "Coach!"
His gaze was like that of an old father watching his son leave for marriage.
"If you come back with bad news, I'll be even more upset."
"How cheesy," Shen Qiao remarked.
Luoye, on the other hand, nodded silently.
Li Haoyang had someone now, leaving behind only his lonely figure.
Wind howling, a hero departs, never to return…
Such poetic sorrow.
With each person setting up their weekend plans, once Luoye left, only Shen Qiao and Wang Dachui remained in their dorm.
One was lazy, spending most of his time sleeping, while the other, no matter day or night, was glued to his video games, but his skills were terrible.
After Luoye left, he received a message from Su Baizhou.
He had changed her contact name to "Fairy Senior Sister."
Fairy Senior Sister: "I still have my car keys with you."
That reminded Luoye.
Oh, he almost forgot about that.
Soon, another message came in.
Fairy Senior Sister: "Come to the faculty apartment. I'll send you the party address."
Luoye was momentarily stunned, but then realized what she meant.
Su Baizhou wanted him to drive her there!
A rush of excitement surged through him, as if he had taken a shot of adrenaline. His heart was filled with joy, and his entire being exuded happiness.
He walked toward the faculty apartments and made his way to the parking lot.
Su Baizhou was already standing beside the car.
She was wearing a red Hanfu, standing gracefully in contrast to the pink fish head dish next to her.
Her figure and appearance suited any outfit, but especially this red Hanfu, which made her look like a classical beauty stepping out of a painting.
She looked like an ancient noblewoman, making it impossible to look away.
When she saw Luoye in casual clothes, her brow slightly furrowed.
This guy, didn't even wear Hanfu.
Luoye realized this too, and a bit shyly said, "I… I packed the Hanfu."
"Change," Su Baizhou said calmly.
"Here?" Luoye glanced around, unsure if he had heard her right.
"It's still early. Go home and change."
"Home?"
Luoye looked confused.
"Yes."
Su Baizhou nodded nonchalantly.
She was about to say "my house," but thinking that Gu Mingxuan was Luoye's older brother, she found it awkward and just said "home" instead.
Luoye understood, but didn't make a joke about it. He wasn't at that stage yet, where he'd make those kinds of couple jokes before they were actually together.
At that moment, he didn't know that Su Baizhou had been the one who got him arrested earlier or that she was renting the apartment from Gu Mingxuan.
"Follow me," Su Baizhou said, not thinking much about it, and started walking.
Building 5, Unit 4, Room 614.
When they arrived at the door of 614, Luoye suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
He hadn't recognized the number earlier, but standing in front of it now, something clicked.
"Senior... you...?"
Luoye stammered.
Su Baizhou was also slightly surprised.
Could it be that he didn't know she was renting Gu Mingxuan's apartment?
She had thought he knew, especially after he had delivered her takeout earlier.
She couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.
Thankfully, Luoye didn't ask any questions.
They both knew what was happening, but no one brought up the past.
Once inside, Su Baizhou didn't enter but pointed to the rooms inside. "That's my room. The other two rooms are for Professor Gu's things, and the other is the one he left for you."
"I understand, Senior!"
Luoye said stiffly.
Walking into the room that Gu Mingxuan had left for him, Luoye began to change into the Hanfu.
