His mind was in chaos, but finally, he sorted out his thoughts, although Chu Tian was quite shaken by his own speculation.

Xu Ruyan, oh Xu Ruyan... she's a sophomore this year, right? I vaguely remember that after the college entrance exams, Xu Qingqiu seemed to have posted her admission letter on her social media... didn't she? So what's the situation now? Where did that admission letter come from? Which university is she really attending?

Just as Chu Tian was about to ask, he realized the call had long been disconnected.

Not only had the call been disconnected, but Xu Ruyan's dorm was already in a melee.

"You tickle me, I'll pull off your socks!"

There were six people in the dormitory. Now, with Xu Ruyan, only three were in the room. The trio had gone wild, clothes scattered all over the floor.

It wasn't until they were too tired to breathe that the three of them stopped.

"HUFF... HUFF... I'm so tired~"

"Xu... Xu Ruyan... My... my autographed album! Give it here!"

"It's... it's gone. I don't have it..."

"Are you sure? Yan Mingyu, continue?"

"Continue!"

"No, no, no! I was wrong, I was wrong! Can you wait for me to put on my socks first?"

"Hurry up, I want to see my album right now."

Under the watchful eyes of her two roommates, Xu Ruyan reluctantly got up from her chair and began to search the floor for her socks.

"Oh, come on, hurry up!"

"Alright, alright, I'll find them soon. It's all your fault..."

"Why don't you just put on another pair?"

"I don't want to! Those are my favorite little bunny ones! And today is Carrot Day; it's the best for a bunny's luck!"

"Okay, okay. Tong Shiya, where did you toss them earlier? Quick, help her look."

"I forgot too. Maybe on the table?"

Tong Shiya ran her fingers through her hair and looked down at the desk.

The three of them started to search haphazardly for a single sock.

On Chu Tian's end, after realizing the call had been disconnected, he called again. However, Xu Ruyan, who was now using her phone's flashlight to look for her socks, promptly hung up again.

"Uh... did you just hang up on him?"

"Huh? I think so. What about it?"

"What do you mean, 'what about it'? Wasn't that the person delivering the album? And you just hung up on him?"

For a moment, with one squatting, one bending over, and one standing, they just stared at each other, speechless for a long while.

Right then, the phone emitted a DING-DONG with a new message.

[Xu Ruyan, if you don't come to get it, I'll be heading back. You can get it from your sister later. By the way, your sister has been busy these days, so go get it yourself, or have her bring it to you after the concert.]

What could I do? Even though she's my future sister-in-law, that was just a joke. Right now, I'm just dating Xu Qingqiu. We aren't married, not officially tied in any way. Even if I was upset, what could I do? Could I actually lecture Xu Ruyan? What right did I have?

So, seeing that she wasn't answering the phone, he could only send a message to let her know, thereby fulfilling his obligation.

Just as he got into the car, intending to head back, his phone suddenly rang. It was Xu Ruyan calling.

"Hello? Have you left?"

"I'm about to leave. What's up?"

"Um... please don't leave yet..."

"Why not?"

"Well... I..."

Seeing Xu Ruyan stammer, too embarrassed to speak up, Yan Mingyu snatched the phone away.

"Hey, Big Bro, hello! I'm Ruyan's roommate. Could you please wait for us a little bit? We'll be right downstairs, okay?"

Chu Tian frowned as he listened to the series of cutesy, squeaky tones from the other end; he felt goosebumps crawl deep into his bones.

"Alright, but be quick. I have things to do later."

"Okay then, Big Bro~ Thanks for your trouble... He hung up?"

How could he not hang up? If he'd let her go on, Chu Tian felt like throwing his phone away. It was truly awful; his foot nearly bored a hole through the accelerator pedal.

"No wonder Yan doesn't like this person. Unbelievable! He actually hung up on me? Is this guy nuts?"

PUFFT... HAHAHAHA! HONK! HONK! HONK!

Xu Ruyan, who had been watching the whole scene, couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing, the sound just like a honking goose.

"Why are you laughing?"

Looking at the frustrated Yan Mingyu, it wasn't just Xu Ruyan; even Tong Shiya, who was usually quiet and reserved, couldn't help laughing.

"GIGGLE, GIGGLE. Yan Mingyu, your voice just now was so disgusting; you probably scared him off, HAHAHAHA."

"What! That's the trendiest 'baby voice' online! You have no taste! Hmph!"

"Alright, let's hurry and go. Weren't you guys anxious?" Xu Ruyan urged.

"Yes, yes, let's go! Don't let him get away! I really want to see what kind of tactless and dull man he is," Yan Mingyu declared.

Xu Ruyan didn't say much about Yan Mingyu's thoughts. After all, I'm still angry, and it would be good to have someone vent my frustration for me.

The three of them went downstairs and came straight to the outside of the West Gate.

"Where is he? Did he say where he is?"

"Stop looking, he's not here. I've already called a cab; it'll be here soon."

"Called a cab? Didn't he say he'd meet us at the gate?"

"Yes, at the gate, but not *this* gate. It's over at the South Gate of the University of Finance and Economics."

"The University of Finance and Economics? Is he an idiot? Why did he go all the way over there?"

"Oh, stop asking! Later, remember not to say the wrong thing. If he asks, just tell him we're students from the UFE, finance majors from the class of '15, understand?"

"Huh? What's going on? Oh, I get it, you're worried he'll pursue you, right?"

"Don't worry, I get it, I get it. Just like before, whenever we meet those little guys overflowing with hormones, we always say we're photography majors, right?"

Xu Ruyan rolled her eyes and, seeing the taxi approaching, didn't bother to explain.
