After finishing their run, Luo Ye and Su Baizhou went to have breakfast.
This time, Luo Ye joined her, so they ate directly at the breakfast shop.
The shop owner was very familiar with Su Baizhou, as she came every morning after her run to buy breakfast, only occasionally eating at the cafeteria.
When the owner saw Su Baizhou with a male companion this time, she smiled knowingly but didn't say anything.
After breakfast, the two returned to the teacher's apartment.
Luo Ye sat silently on the sofa, thinking that he would probably be kicked out soon.
Su Baizhou, changing into her usual clothes, walked out of her room and said, "The student council is about to have elections, so I've been really busy lately."
"Election?" Luo Ye asked.
"Yes, since the seniors are about to go on internships, we, the juniors, have a lot of tasks to handle, and the positions will be handed over to the second-year students."
Luo Ye suddenly remembered that Su Baizhou was already in her third year.
In less than a year, she would be interning, and he would still be in his second year. He wondered what their relationship would be like by then.
As he watched Su Baizhou prepare to leave, Luo Ye asked, "Senior Sister, how have I been doing these days?"
Su Baizhou froze for a moment.
She had forgotten about this.
But seeing Luo Ye's earnest yet slightly anxious expression, she decided to tease him.
"Guess," she said flatly.
The "Ice Goddess" said these two words with no expression, and Luo Ye couldn't figure out what she meant.
But Su Baizhou had already left, and Luo Ye could only sigh.
He looked around the apartment, especially at the kitchen.
Luo Ye went to his room to pack his things, grabbed the leftover lunchbox from the fridge, stuffed the pink keyboard Su Baizhou gave him into his bag, and headed for the door.
He took one last look at the apartment, making up his mind that one day, he would live here with confidence.
After leaving, Luo Ye returned to his dormitory.
Dorm 515 was, as usual, empty.
Just like at the start of the semester, Luo Ye was the first to arrive.
Soon after, Li Haoyang, the second to arrive, walked in.
Seeing the coach, Luo Ye suddenly remembered he had something important to tell him.
"Coach, I need to talk to you…"
"Talk later, Luo Ye, Brother Chen is looking for me," Li Haoyang interrupted as he hurriedly left the dorm.
He was the class monitor, and it was normal for the instructor to look for him. He also handled the attendance and roll call.
As the class monitor, Li Haoyang was the busiest in the dorm, balancing his fitness routine, class duties, and his relationship.
But the last one? That was probably going to end soon.
Luo Ye decided to discuss the matter with the other roommates first and then have a serious conversation in the dorm.
Though they often prank each other, when it mattered, they would all have each other's backs, especially Wang Dachui.
Before long, Wang Dachui burst into the room, carrying his backpack.
"Hahahaha, sons, I missed you so much!"
A figure as energetic as a monkey jumped in and plopped onto a chair. Seeing that the dorm was empty except for Luo Ye, Wang Dachui asked, "Ye kid, didn't the coach say he was here? Where is he?"
"He went off to work," Luo Ye answered.
Luo Ye then looked seriously at Wang Dachui and said, "Big Hammer, I need to talk to you."
"Talk?" Wang Dachui raised an eyebrow at the pink hoodie Luo Ye was wearing, as well as the pink keyboard on the desk, his eyes widening in shock. He gasped, "What the heck, Ye kid, are you in a relationship?"
Luo Ye: …
The serious mood he had prepared for was shattered by Wang Dachui.
How do you even talk seriously with this guy?
"No, it's something else."
After telling Wang Dachui what he had seen, Wang Dachui widened his eyes in disbelief and protested, "You little brat, don't badmouth the Ice Goddess in front of me! Even though she's the coach's girlfriend now, I still think she's more intriguing, haha. Oh, and don't tell the coach, I'm afraid he'll beat me up."
Luo Ye was upset.
What a simp! How could he not trust his own brother?
"Alright, Ye kid, I can see that the Ice Goddess might not be all that great, but you've got to understand, the coach is emotionally clueless. If he doesn't experience things like this, how can he grow?"
Suddenly, Wang Dachui became serious, leaving Luo Ye stunned.
This guy… can't he just stay excited or calm, not switch so suddenly?
"Big Hammer's right," said Shen Qiao, walking in calmly as usual. "If we don't teach the coach a lesson now, there will be a second and third bad girl trying to get close to him."
"So, are we doing nothing about it?" Luo Ye asked.
Shen Qiao thought for a moment before replying, "Just tell him the truth. What he does with the information is up to him."
Both Luo Ye and Wang Dachui nodded.
Suddenly, Wang Dachui lunged at Luo Ye, put his arm around his shoulder, and mischievously said, "Ye kid, don't change the topic. What's up with that pink, fluffy outfit? Hmm? The fabric looks cheap. Didn't you go to Hangcheng? How did you end up back in the village?"
"What did you say? This outfit is cheap?" Luo Ye snapped, immediately starting a playful fight with Wang Dachui.
They were just joking around, but Shen Qiao thought it was fun. He quickly approached and, when neither of them was paying attention, yanked down Wang Dachui's pants.
"Who the hell ambushed me?" Wang Dachui spun around.
Shen Qiao smirked and whispered, "Little bird."
At this, Wang Dachui's face turned bright red with embarrassment. He pulled his pants back up and angrily shouted, "I'm going to kill you!"
Shen Qiao wasn't concerned.
But soon, his expression changed.
To Luo Ye's shock, Wang Dachui managed to pin Shen Qiao to the bed.
Both were fully dressed, so Wang Dachui was just trying to annoy Shen Qiao.
"Dammit, Wang Dachui!" Shen Qiao cursed, his face full of disbelief.
"Such a pervert," Luo Ye muttered in awe.
"Ye kid, and you too."
Wang Dachui glared at Luo Ye, causing him to shiver in fear.
"Brother Luo, get him!" Shen Qiao said.
"Sorry, Big Hammer."
Luo Ye joined Shen Qiao, and they gave Wang Dachui a good beating.
Soon, it was time for the roll call at school.
The three of them quickly tidied themselves up. The dorm was a mess, and their appearance made it seem like something serious had happened.
They exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's go, time to sign in."
"Let's go."
"Let's go."
After the fight, they casually linked arms, as if nothing had happened, and walked toward the classroom.
