Zhao Yueyue walked up to Ye Chen.
With a sweet smile on her face, she said, "Hello, Junior! My name is Zhao Yueyue, and I'm a sophomore in the Department of Mathematics!"
Seeing this, the seniors behind her felt their hearts shatter.
Zhao Yueyue actually took the initiative to speak to a junior, and one from the Department of Mathematics at that.
One should know that Zhao Yueyue had previously rejected confessions from many male students in the Department of Mathematics.
Before, they used to comfort themselves by saying that Zhao Yueyue didn't like the nerds in the Department of Mathematics.
But now, they could only accept reality.
It wasn't that she didn't like boys from the Department of Mathematics, but rather that she didn't like those who weren't handsome enough.
Zhao Yueyue looked at Ye Chen, and the more she looked, the more handsome she felt he was.
Zhao Yueyue had originally been sad because of a recent breakup.
But the moment she saw Ye Chen, she realized what true love really meant.
Zhao Yueyue said with a smile, "Junior, military training must be exhausting. Let me buy you a Coke."
The Coke in Zhao Yueyue's hand had just been taken out of the refrigerator, with a thin layer of condensation on it; it looked incredibly refreshing.
A girl next to Ye Chen looked at Zhao Yueyue's Coke and couldn't help but say, "If someone bought me a Coke right now, I'd marry him immediately."
At that moment, a girl beside her nudged her, "Wake up, that senior is a woman."
The girl still said dreamily, "Does that matter? What matters is why, with so many boys around, not a single one has brought me a Coke. Instead, they're eating chilled watermelon just to spite us. It's heartbreaking."
Everyone looked at Ye Chen with envy; someone was actually bringing him a Coke during military training.
Zhao Yueyue looked at Ye Chen, feeling very proud of herself.
Giving Ye Chen a Coke at a time like this was like providing charcoal in the snow.
With such a beautiful senior and such a cool Coke, the junior would surely be moved to tears and fall head over heels for her.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ye Chen didn't take the Coke.
He politely declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but I can't take the Coke."
Zhao Yueyue was stunned; after being rejected, she felt as if she had been frozen solid.
How could it be? He actually refused.
Hearing Ye Chen refuse, the seniors behind Zhao Yueyue let out a long sigh of relief.
Some of the seniors even found Ye Chen to be quite agreeable now.
Exactly, this is the kind of awareness a junior should have.
How could he compete with his seniors for a beautiful girl?
Feeling somewhat unwilling to give up, Zhao Yueyue asked, "Why?"
She felt that regardless of her looks or her kindness, Ye Chen shouldn't have refused.
Ye Chen coughed and said, "I think that as a guy with a girlfriend, I shouldn't be accepting Cokes from other girls at a time like this."
Zhao Yueyue was stunned, "What? You have a Boyfriend?"
Haven't the freshmen just started school? How could he have a girlfriend already? Who is so detestable as to move so quickly?
While Zhao Yueyue was still in shock, a voice rang out.
"That's right, he already has a girlfriend, and it's me."
Xia Yingluo's voice came from behind Zhao Yueyue.
Xia Yingluo was also wearing a military training uniform, holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand.
She even shot a deliberate glance at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen acted very well-behaved on the side.
He was also a bit nervous; in truth, he had almost accepted it just now.
But fortunately, Ye Chen was alert enough and had caught a glimpse of Xia Yingluo approaching out of the corner of his eye.
So he refused directly.
A few seniors not far away stared blankly at Xia Yingluo.
Student Li put down the watermelon in his hand and turned to walk back.
As he walked, he lamented, "Why? Why is it so unfair? I feel like we're not the ones tormenting the juniors; the junior is tormenting us."
"Our watermelon might be sweet, but it's not as sweet as that girl. The watermelon might be cold, but it's my heart that's chilled."
The seniors looked at each other, then at Old Li, who had a face full of weariness.
Suddenly, everyone felt he had gained a bit of a melancholy poet's aura.
At this moment, one of the seniors couldn't help but ask, "Old Li, where are you going?"
Senior Li stopped and said, "I'm going to study hard. With my looks, only by studying hard can I attract pretty girls. If my looks aren't good enough, I can only make up for it with my abilities."
Everyone nodded one after another. It seemed that after today's shock, Old Li had finally reached a state of enlightenment.
Ye Chen and Xia Yingluo found a shady spot and sat down.
"How did you get here?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"There are more girls in our School of Economics and Management, and the instructor is very nice, giving us longer breaks. So, I came over to see you."
Under the shade of the tree, Xia Yingluo swung her legs, lost in thought.
After a while, she suddenly looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Are you depressed because I came and you didn't get to drink that Coke?"
Ye Chen looked innocent, "What Coke? How would I know anything about a Coke?"
Xia Yingluo rolled her eyes at Ye Chen and said, "It's a pity I only have mineral water. My mineral water isn't cold or sweet; it's not as good as Coke."
As she spoke, Xia Yingluo looked at Ye Chen with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes and spoke faintly.
Ye Chen said righteously, "Yingluo, what are you talking about? How could I be unhappy? Is there even a comparison between Coke and your mineral water?"
"Is this just mineral water you're giving me? This is sweeter than Coke! My Yingluo brought this to me from so far away; it's full of warmth and sweetness."
Xia Yingluo rolled her eyes at Ye Chen and said, "Hmph, no matter how sweet it is, it's not as sweet as your mouth."
"I promised Sister Si Tong that I would keep an eye on you. Your heart can only have me and Sister Si Tong. I won't be jealous of Sister Si Tong, but if it's any other woman, I won't forgive you."
Ye Chen nodded, thumping his chest loudly.
"Don't worry, I'm not some playboy."
After saying that, Ye Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
So Xia Yingluo really does get jealous.
Meanwhile, not far away, Chen Gang, Wu Xiaowei, and Sun Yi watched Ye Chen and Xia Yingluo chatting sweetly under the tree, feeling a pang in their hearts.
Chen Gang said faintly, "Should we consider kicking Ye Chen out of our dorm?"
The other two nodded in succession, "We agree."
After military training ended, there was something even more headache-inducing for the students: the inspection of their living quarters.
Because Jingda was a prestigious university, requirements were very strict in all aspects, especially the dormitory inspections.
Ye Chen had just heard that not long ago, a boy from the Department of Physics was actually scolded to tears by the instructor because his quilt wasn't folded properly.
He was even punished by having to run ten laps around the Playground before coming back to continue folding his quilt.
Everyone was panicking upon hearing this news.
Tonight, the instructor was coming to the Department of Mathematics to inspect the dorms.
In Ye Chen's dorm, Chen Gang and the others were staring at their quilts in despair.
They were all scrambling around, trying to fold their quilts into "tofu blocks."
But to their frustration, they rarely did housework at home.
Trying to fold them into tofu blocks was simply much harder than solving mathematical equations.
