Chen Ting woke up at eight thirty the next morning. He did not want to get out of bed, but no matter how he tossed and turned, he could not fall back asleep. In the end, he gave in and sent Pei Yiyao a message. Donghu Crab King: You said last night you were picking me up. Where are we going? Pei Yiyao: On a date. Donghu Crab King: ?! Pei Yiyao: Gao Duo lost. He agreed to give you the day off. Full pay. Donghu Crab King: … Wait. Was the point supposed to be the wages? Chen Ting reread…- 116.2 K • Completed
An hour later, with Pei Yiyao’s help, Chen Ting had finally gathered all fifty pieces of flint and traded them in for the Forerunner outfit. Pei Yiyao’s gameplay was sharp and stylish, weaving through enemies with precision and flair. Snakes were sliced down without hesitation. Walls, no matter how solid, were phased through like mist. The twisted corridors never slowed him, and the darkness never made him hesitate. Pei Yiyao played like he owned the game. As Chen Ting watched him, his eyes began…- 116.2 K • Completed
In just the span of three minutes, faced with Tang Yin’s sincere questions, Chen Ting instantly reverted to his classic mode of “Not listening, not knowing, Ting Ting doesn’t know.” He focused hard on mixing his sizzling rice, shook his head with wide-eyed innocence, and gave the same answer no matter what she asked. “I really don’t know.” Tang Yin was clearly disappointed. But after a moment of thought, she realized that with someone like Pei Yiyao, even if he were friends with Chen…- 116.2 K • Completed
Yang Shulin’s gossip radar had come under collective scorn from the Winner Takes All group chat. Stung by the shame, he vowed to redeem his reputation with a big scoop. But after several days of digging, he realized that the average college student's life was, in fact, pretty dull most of the time. There was only one thing that kept bugging him. “Ting Ting, why is Pei Yiyao always the one walking you back these days? Did he do something to hurt you?” It was another Monday morning computer lab…- 116.2 K • Completed
That night, Chen Ting couldn’t sleep. He kept tossing and turning, his mind replaying Pei Yiyao’s confession over and over. Even after he finally fell asleep, the same scene kept playing out in his dreams. Pei Yiyao stood in front of him under the tree, calling his name again and again. He must have heard it at least a hundred times in his sleep. When Chen Ting woke up the next morning, he felt like he had developed a nervous condition. “Ting Ting, what’s wrong?” Yang Shulin looked at…- 116.2 K • Completed
For the next few days, Chen Ting met Pei Yiyao at the library right on time, rain or shine. Pei Yiyao was the type who never showed up late, and as his self-proclaimed big brother, Chen Ting made sure to match his pace. As for Yang Shulin, who was incapable of being on time, he had already quit. To him, reviewing with Chen Ting and Pei Yiyao was pure torture. Cool Guy completely ignored him, and Ting Ting was either zoning out or deep into test questions. The only thing the two of them ever talked…- 116.2 K • Completed
Much later, when Chen Ting looked back on the first time he met Pei Yiyao, his face still burned with embarrassment. And the more mortifying something was, the more deeply it etched itself into memory. That was exactly why Chen Ting felt Pei Yiyao was a good person. His face had shown no reaction at all, as if the person standing there in his T-shirt with two pale legs exposed were just a specimen in a biology lab. That indifference spared Chen Ting from total humiliation. At that moment, Ruan Xin…- 116.2 K • Completed
That evening, back in the dorm, Yang Shulin couldn’t wait to bring up the question that had been on his mind. “Ting Ting, did you and Pei Yiyao ever meet when you were little? Didn’t you say your families were close? Then you must’ve seen each other as kids, right?” Chen Ting froze. He honestly hadn’t thought about it. But Yang Shulin had a point. When the Pei family moved abroad, he had already started kindergarten. They probably had met. It was childhood stuff. Forgetting was…- 116.2 K • Completed
Chen Ting had no idea why Pei Yiyao was upset. On the surface, he looked as cold and aloof as always, but Chen Ting could just tell that he was angry. After Gao Duo left, Pei Yiyao turned down Xu Yiming’s invitation to eat and brought Chen Ting straight home. On the ride back, Chen Ting sat on the back of Pei Yiyao’s bike, the wind rushing past his ears. He kept turning over the possibilities in his mind, trying to figure out what had set Pei Yiyao off. Was it Gao Duo’s attitude that rubbed…- 116.2 K • Completed
Compared to Pei Yiyao, who tossed and turned through the night, Chen Ting slept soundly all the way until morning, even dreaming sweetly. When he finally woke, it was already eight thirty. He yawned and stretched, then gradually remembered he had slept over at the Pei residence. But when he turned to the side, Pei Yiyao was already gone. Twenty minutes later, Chen Ting went downstairs. Ruan Xin had just come out of the kitchen with a bowl of salad and called him over for breakfast. “Cold food on…- 116.2 K • Completed
