"When I sing from my heart, tears will flow..."

Xu Lin returned to the dormitory and saw Liu Longsheng sitting on the table with his feet on the stool, singing "King of K" with a guitar, looking heartbroken, totally different from his usual self.

"What happened?"

Xu Lin glanced at him, a little puzzled.

Zhao Liangchen chimed in, "Who would believe, a lifetime of shallow dialogues..."

After singing, he said, "I don't know, maybe Brother Long got his heart broken!"

As Liu Longsheng was singing, he glanced at Zhao Liangchen and suddenly found him much more agreeable.

But Zhao Liangchen suddenly added, "Or maybe Brother Long's just full and bored!"

Liu Longsheng suddenly wanted to beat Zhao Liangchen up, but he didn't want to explain or argue, feeling that no one in the world understood someone as affectionate as him.

"Come on, this is for you..."

He sang loudly while shedding tears in the dormitory.

Xu Lin ignored him, feeling inexplicably perplexed.

Xu Lin returned to his seat, and a message from Rong Xiyi popped up.

"Xu Lin, I'm back at the dormitory! Are you there?"

"I'm here."

Rong Xiyi was back in the dorm.

Li Sinan and the other two curiously looked over, seeing Rong Xiyi looking happy but with red eyes, clearly having cried.

But she was acting very cheerful.

Then, they saw Rong Xiyi open a pack of cold dumplings and enjoy them, even downing the soup to the last drop.

No one knew what had happened.

The key was that Rong Xiyi had obviously cried, with red, puffy eyes.

This made everyone more curious about what had happened during the half-hour Rong Xiyi was away.

The next day arrived on schedule.

Thursday was still packed with classes, though that's how freshman year is. At least, in the first-semester schedule, except for a free Tuesday afternoon, nearly every time slot was filled.

After finishing classes, Xu Lin left the university with Ning Yuhuan.

Originally, Ning Yuhuan thought Xu Lin was going to take her to a hotel, so she even brought a change of clothes.

But after they finished eating, Xu Lin took her to a rental apartment.

Upon opening the door, Ning Yuhuan saw a beautiful duplex apartment.

Xu Lin's rental was truly top-notch, with a modern minimalist style, beautifully furnished, wooden floors, and a sealed balcony, making it spotless and easy to walk around barefoot.

"Honey, did you rent a place?"

"I rented it the day before yesterday, settled it yesterday."

Xu Lin closed the door and said, "This will be our little nest from now on, no more hopping from hotel to hotel."

"Oh, okay."

Ning Yuhuan nodded.

Xu Lin could earn a lot just by writing novels, and his learning ability was amazing. Ning Yuhuan had personally seen him memorize a thick book in just an hour or two in the library, which was truly impressive.

He was so outstanding that Ning Yuhuan felt she wasn't worthy of him.

Because of this, Ning Yuhuan felt pressured and uneasy.

Ning Yuhuan didn't ask for a powerful man to turn into a rich lady overnight; she just wanted them to work together, have a cozy nest, marry, have children, and live in mutual support. But sometimes, Ning Yuhuan felt that the distance between her and Xu Lin seemed a bit too far.

Xu Lin really was outstanding.

"I'll clean up a bit!"

Ning Yuhuan said as she set down her backpack.

"No need, it's quite clean."

"It still needs tidying; some places are quite messy."

Ning Yuhuan shook her head, insisting on cleaning.

"Alright."

So, Ning Yuhuan began cleaning, as they had bought supplies for it yesterday at Sam's Supermarket, like mops, brooms, towels, and other cleaning tools and supplies.

Ning Yuhuan busied herself like she wanted to clean every corner thoroughly.

Xu Lin said there wasn't a need to be so meticulous, but Ning Yuhuan didn't agree.

Later, she wanted to organize the refrigerator.

This fridge was large, standing 1.9 meters high, 80-some centimeters wide, 60-some centimeters deep, with a capacity of over 500 liters.

Opening it, Ning Yuhuan found it stocked with various foods and drinks.

Ning Yuhuan took out an eel to look at, priced over sixty yuan, a small amount, just enough for one meal.

Steaks, as big as a girl's palm, priced over seven hundred.

Beef, imported, a block weighing a pound, costing several hundred.

Large strawberries, a box of twelve, over a hundred, also imported.

Drinks were also imported, looking quite expensive at a glance.

Ning Yuhuan looked around; everything seemed pricey.

Seeing her examining the fridge contents, Xu Lin asked, "Do you want to eat something? We could make some, like beef or steak."

Xu Lin had all the tools here, as Rong Xiyi had bought them the day before, including an air fryer, oven, coffee machine, and more.

Rong Xiyi specifically picked the expensive ones, like a five-thousand-yuan coffee machine and a three-thousand-yuan oven.

Xu Lin didn't drink coffee, but Rong Xiyi said she did.

Anyway, they ended up buying all kinds of things.

Ning Yuhuan shook her head, "I'm still full, haven't digested yet."

Xu Lin was very sensitive and seemed to sense what Ning Yuhuan was thinking.

"Hey, come here!"

Ning Yuhuan went over, sat on his lap as he intended, embraced by him.

"What's on your mind?"

"Nothing, really."

Ning Yuhuan shook her head.

"Are you thinking the stuff in the fridge is too expensive, that I'm being wasteful? Or maybe it's because you feel our lives aren't aligned?"

Ning Yuhuan shook her head again, even though Xu Lin was spot on, with both points resonating, especially the latter.
