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

Not long after ordering her milk tea, Zhou Yue became interested in a seemingly unremarkable fried food stall by the roadside: "This place smells amazing! It smells delicious! I have to try it!"

"Didn't you just finish eating hot pot? You still have stomachs?" Chen Mo asked in surprise.

"You don't understand, we girls have two stomachs," Zhou Yue said with a grin.

Hearing this, Chen Mo turned to look at Su Yuqing's stomach, and Su Yuqing smiled and said, "Indeed."

"I really admire you guys." Chen Mo smiled indulgently and said no more.

So, the group of people, who had just finished eating hot pot, each held several skewers of fried rice cakes, fried pork tenderloin, and fried starch sausages, and ate as they walked, completely disregarding their image, but they were exceptionally happy.

Chen Mo watched as Su Yuqing carefully blew on the fried rice cake, taking small bites, with a little sauce on the corner of her mouth. He naturally took out a tissue and gently wiped away the traces from the corner of her mouth with his thumb.

Immediately, Zhou Yue and Lin Xiaoxiao deliberately made "tsk tsk" sounds and giggles all around.

Su Yuqing was stunned for a moment. She had subconsciously gotten used to Chen Mo's careful care for her, but being "mocked" like this by her roommate in front of others still made her blush.

But she didn't flinch; instead, she looked at Chen Mo with loving eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the roadside trees, dancing on their young figures; the sweet atmosphere of youth and love was even more dazzling than the sunlight itself.

Amidst the aroma of food, the sweetness of milk tea, and the carefree joy unique to youth, the group strolled for quite a distance.

After exploring most of the shopping streets near the school and getting a bit tired, everyone decided to head back.

Back near the school, Zhou Yue found a new target: a newly opened supermarket on the commercial street outside the school. To compete with the supermarkets inside the school, it was offering a lot of discounts: "This supermarket seems to have a lot of discounts lately. We've almost run out of snacks in our dorm. Let's go buy some goodies to stock up in the dorm! It's much cheaper than the supermarkets on campus."

Although the school supermarket offers delivery, the same items are much more expensive than those outside the school. Zhou Yue's suggestion was immediately approved unanimously.

It's clear that the four girls in this dormitory know how to manage their finances.

It's quite remarkable that Zhou Yue, a young lady from a wealthy family, could be so frugal.

In the supermarket, Chen Mo pushed the shopping cart, and Su Yuqing walked beside him, occasionally picking up something and asking for his opinion.

The other three would sometimes huddle together, and sometimes split up to find their own targets.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods on the shelves and listening to the girls around him discussing which potato chips were delicious and which yogurt tasted better, Chen Mo felt a surge of simple, everyday happiness.

These mundane daily routines are what he cherishes most.

After the shopping trip, everyone had taken quite a few things with them.

Chen Mo naturally took the heavier shopping bag from Su Yuqing's hand.

"I'll take it myself," Su Yuqing said softly.

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Chen Mo smiled. "If you care about me, think about what reward you'll give me next time."

Upon hearing the word "reward," Su Yuqing immediately recalled the lake trip the night before last. She glanced at her three roommates and whispered to Chen Mo like a thief, "How about the same reward as last time?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo smiled slightly and said, "Can't we upgrade it?"

Su Yuqing glanced at her roommate again, hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Okay."

This answer instantly made Chen Mo eagerly anticipate what kind of upgrade Su Yuqing had agreed to.

By the time we returned to Xingyuan Apartment Complex, it was nearly dusk.

"I had a blast shopping today! And I even had a helper to carry things along the way, it was so great!" Zhou Yue said, still wanting more. "Chen Mo, let's do it again next time!" "I won't help you carry things next time," Chen Mo laughed.

Upon hearing this, everyone in Su Yuqing's dorm room burst into laughter.

On the way today, Chen Mo helped them carry various things many times.

"Don't say that. Next time, I'll treat your roommates to a few more meals," Zhou Yue said with a smile, sticking out her tongue.

As she spoke, she suddenly took out a bag that she had prepared beforehand and distributed some snacks. "These are for your dorm room. Consider it a thank you for your hard work."

Seeing how well her roommates got along with Chen Mo, Su Yuqing felt a warmth in her heart. The start of her university life was even better than she had imagined.

"See you at the class meeting tonight." Su Yuqing waved to Chen Mo.

"Okay, see you tonight. Take a rest if you're tired," Chen Mo instructed.

Watching Su Yuqing and her roommates walk into Building A, Chen Mo turned and headed towards Building B.

He was also carrying the drinks and snacks that Zhou Yue had given to their dorm room.

Pushing open the door to 504, Wang Lan was slumped in a chair playing games, Li Zhe was reading a book, and Shen Xinghe seemed to have finished her work and was wearing a face mask, looking exceptionally...refined.

"Old Mo is back!"

"I brought you some food," Chen Mo said with a smile, lifting the bag in his hand.

"Oh, you even brought us some delicious food?" Wang Lan immediately put down her phone.

"I'm thirsty," Li Zhe said, putting down his book.

Shen Xinghe nodded slightly in acknowledgment, his words slightly muffled due to the face mask on: "Thanks."

The three of them didn't stand on ceremony, which only proved that they were even closer to Chen Mo and had become like brothers.

Chen Mo distributed the items to them and briefly recounted the fun he had while shopping that afternoon.

"Wow, Lao Mo, you've maxed out your shopping companion skills," Wang Lan teased, munching on potato chips. "You'll definitely be a model boyfriend in the future."

Chen Mo chuckled, shook his head, picked up his change of clothes, and prepared to take a shower to wash away his fatigue and the noise outside.

Hot water washed over him, and Chen Mo closed his eyes, his mind flashing back to the day's events: the solemnity of the opening ceremony, the lively atmosphere of the hot pot dinner, Su Yuqing's pure and beautiful appearance as she tried on the dress, and her smiling profile in the sunset...

The beauty of life is just that simple.

However, since you've chosen medical school, the relaxed and carefree time may not be long, because soon the heavy medical courses will come.

After taking a shower, Chen Mo saw his phone light up; it was a message from Su Yuqing:
"You're at the dorm! Are you at the dorm yet? I'm sure you're tired from carrying so much stuff today. Thanks for your help! ^_^"

It was followed by a cute rabbit emoji.

Chen Mo's lips unconsciously curled up as he replied:

"I've arrived too. I took a shower. I'm not tired, but seeing you having fun with them makes it all worthwhile."

Looking at Chen Mo's reply on her phone, Su Yuqing realized that his happiness was his greatest satisfaction. Suddenly, her heart clenched, followed by a surge of deep emotion. (End of Chapter)
