On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

The person who arrived was Chu Yunfan, whom Su Yuqing had met briefly that morning.

He seemed to be there to take photos, with a DSLR camera hanging around his neck. When he saw Su Yuqing, a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face, and he walked over naturally: "Classmate? What a coincidence, we meet again."

"Yes, hello senior." Su Yuqing replied politely.

"I've run into you twice now, but I still haven't asked your name," Chu Yunfan said with a bright, sunny smile.

"Su Yuqing." Su Yuqing responded politely again. After all, Chu Yunfan had told her his name earlier, but she had forgotten to mention, "Why are you handing out brochures on the library rooftop, senior?"

Chu Yunfan's gaze lingered politely on Chen Mo and Shen Xinghe for a moment before finally settling on Su Yuqing's face. His tone was familiar yet not unpleasant: "I was just helping someone else out for a short while. My main responsibilities are still other things, like taking some photos of the view from the top floor of the library now, to prepare illustrations for the freshman guide."

As instructed by the president, the illustrations have to be changed every year, supposedly for a new look for the new school year. I think it's a bit redundant; we could just use the ones from previous years. However, the view here is really great; any photo taken here would be usable.

During the conversation, Chu Yunfan also looked at the people around him and asked, "Are you all freshmen who just arrived?"

Everyone nodded immediately and introduced themselves.

At this moment, Zhou Yue suddenly looked at Chu Yunfan and said with a smile, "Senior Chu, don't you dare have any ideas about our Yuqing, she's already taken."

"You misunderstand. I just happened to run into Su twice and felt it was fate, so I said hello." Chu Yunfan's expression remained calm and composed as he smiled and replied.

After saying that, he immediately looked at Chen Mo and Shen Xinghe beside him and said, "The one who can become Su's girlfriend must be one of the two of you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao was taken aback. She looked at Chu Yunfan and said, "You actually knew that Shen Xinghe was a boy?"

Chu Yunfan smiled and replied, "I didn't know before, but I found out after he introduced himself. The president often showed us some youth magazines. Shen Xinghe is a very charming model in 'Youth Charm' magazine. When I first saw him, I thought he looked a bit like him. The moment he introduced himself and said his name, I was completely sure."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly realized why Chu Yunfan could tell Shen Xinghe's androgynous gender at a glance.

Su Yuqing responded with a smile, and naturally stepped aside to introduce Chen Mo to him, "Senior Chu, this is my boyfriend."

"Hello." Chen Mo extended his hand, his expression calm.

"Hello, Chen Mo." Chu Yunfan shook hands with him, his smile still bright and cheerful. His gaze lingered on Chen Mo's face for a moment, a subtle scrutiny flashing in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

Shen Xinghe nodded slightly as a greeting, without saying anything more.

Chu Yunfan didn't seem to mind. His attention quickly returned to Su Yuqing, and he asked in a gentle tone, "By the way, Su Yuqing, the Practical Activities Department has a community clinic pre-event next week. We need a few freshmen with good looks and temperament to assist with some simple guidance work. I wonder if you would be interested? You can familiarize yourself with the operation of the student union in advance."

His invitation was delivered in a very natural manner, entirely out of the needs of student council work, making it hard to refuse.

Su Yuqing thought about it for a moment and felt that this was indeed a good opportunity to experience it, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, senior, if the time is right, I would be happy to participate."

"That's great! Can I add you on Juxin? I'll send you the specific time and location later." Chu Yunfan's smile deepened, appearing very pleased. "Senior, can I participate in this guidance work you mentioned?" Chen Mo asked, giving Chu Yunfan a meaningful look.

"I'm so sorry, Chen Mo, this event was for girls only. I'll definitely invite you to participate in any future events that are for boys or mixed-gender groups. Your image and demeanor are quite impressive," Chu Yunfan said generously.

When Su Yuqing heard Chen Mo speak, she couldn't help but glance at him again, and she suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.

This was the first time she had ever felt this scent on Chen Mo, and it made her feel a little sweet inside.

This shows that Chen Mo cares about her a lot.

Chu Yunfan exchanged a few more pleasantries with the group, then politely excused himself to continue taking photos and went to do his own thing.

Chen Mo watched Chu Yunfan's retreating figure, his gaze deep.

Shen Xinghe glanced thoughtfully at Chen Mo, then at Su Yuqing, who was excitedly pulling Chen Mo to look at the scenery, and a very faint, ambiguous smile appeared on his lips.

Just as he was looking at Chen Mo, he was pulled by the remaining three girls to a spot away from Chen Mo and Su Yuqing to enjoy the scenery.

In fact, only Zhou Yue and Lin Xiaoxiao dared to make a move on Shen Xinghe; Zhao Ya always kept a distance from him.

Shen Xinghe didn't mind being pulled along by the two girls. He knew they were afraid he would be a third wheel, so he simply went with them.

A gentle breeze swept across the rooftop, ruffling the girl's hair and stirring the undercurrents that flowed beneath the seemingly calm lake surface.

Su Yuqing looked at Chen Mo, who was still jealous, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face. She gently hooked Chen Mo's finger with her small hand.

Seeing Chen Mo turn around, she smiled and leaned closer, whispering, "If you don't like it, I won't go."

After saying that, Su Yuqing and Chen Mo intertwined their fingers.

From her actions, Chen Mo sensed the love she conveyed and her concern for his feelings.

Chen Mo smiled and replied, "Anything that can enrich your life experience, as long as you want to do it, I will not dislike it. Just do it with peace of mind."

"Really?" Su Yuqing looked at Chen Mo for confirmation.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo suddenly took her small hand with a serious expression, touched his forehead to hers, and said sincerely, "Yuqing, I admit that as your boyfriend, I have that selfish wish: that your world only has me and no one else."

But as someone who truly loves you, I hope that the world you love isn't just about me. You should have your own world, your own life, your own hobbies, your own opinions, and the things you want to do. In that world and in that life, I only need to occupy an important corner and a place—that's enough.

Hearing these words, Su Yuqing was instantly moved. Her nose tingled, and her eyes welled up with tears. At that moment, she clearly understood the biggest difference between love and liking! (End of Chapter)
