Before going to bed, Sheng Congye secretly took a cold shower.

Chu Zhuo was already asleep when he climbed into bed.

That's true, the freshmen have a military training performance in the morning, which is very tiring.

Sheng Congye thought to himself, "Training is usually even more tiring."

The next morning, Chu Zhu woke up on time. His biological rhythm, which he had developed over the past two weeks, meant that he opened his eyes two minutes earlier than his alarm clock.

He put on his clothes and got out of bed. The alarm clock rang, and he casually turned it off.

Sheng Congye changed his clothes at the same time. There were two washbasins in the dormitory of Imperial Capital University. He brushed his teeth side by side with Chu Zhuo: "Want to go eat? I'll go with you."

Chu Zhuo moved his head up and down, his mouth full of foam, and replied vaguely, "Okay, I'm going to do a split to practice my legs later, Brother Ye, wait for me a moment."

Sheng Congye readily agreed: "Yes, I'll wait for you."

After washing up, Chu Zhuo took out a yoga mat, laid it on the ground, and first did a split on the ground. Then, she bent over in the current position, wrapped her legs around the back of her head, and crossed her ankles.

Tao Wei woke up yawning, pulled back the bed curtains, and looked down at the chilling scene on the floor. He blurted out a vulgar curse: "Damn it, Xiao Ji, are you playing Resident Evil this early in the morning?"

Hearing the sound, Chu Zhuo put down her leg, stood up on the spot, used the insteps to push off the ground, and turned around from one end of the yoga mat to the other, while replying to Tao Wei: "I'm warming up, our teacher is going to have a quiz on body shape later."

Tao Wei was almost speechless: "Your body is so flexible, it's like you have no bones."

"If I had no bones, I would have collapsed." Chu Zhuo stood on one leg, and bent the other leg from back to front, easily touching the back of his head, a standard standing split.

Sheng Congye chimed in, "Yeah, he doesn't understand, he's just talking nonsense."

Tao Wei: "...Hello, I'm listening."

He doesn't understand the extent to which dance students develop their bodies, but he remembers someone's self-contradictory words... Why bother arguing with someone who's obsessed with love?

Chu Zhu covered her mouth and laughed: "Haha, Brother Ye is the one talking nonsense."

Tao Wei was pleased with himself and raised an eyebrow at Sheng Congye triumphantly, but Sheng Congye completely ignored him.

"..." Tao Wei silently swallowed his bitterness; he should have thought of this sooner.

After warming up for five minutes, Chu Zhu put away her yoga mat, put on her workout clothes, and set off full of energy: "Let's go, I'm hungry, I feel like I could swallow two eggs whole."

Sheng Congye reached out his hand: "Let me carry your backpack for you."

"There's just one set of my practice clothes and some toilet paper inside. It's not heavy. Thank you, Brother Ye." Chu Zhuo politely declined.

Sheng Congye withdrew his hand: "Okay."

After leaving the dormitory, the two walked towards the cafeteria.

"Ji Chuzhuo, what a coincidence, let's go have dinner together." A male voice came through.

There was only one voice, but there were four of them. Chu Zhuo recognized them: "I'm with my roommate Ye Ge. Where are you guys going to eat?"

Without hesitation, the male student replied, "Wherever you go, we'll go."

His roommate nudged him with his elbow, telling him to be more reserved, and then, with a smile, said the nearest cafeteria, "Second cafeteria, want to go together?"

Sheng Congye suddenly spoke up: "It's not on the way, let's go to the West Cafeteria."

Chu Zhuo was slightly taken aback, then said naturally, "Yeah, Brother Ye said he'd take me to the West Cafeteria. The duck blood vermicelli soup on the second floor is delicious. I've been craving it the whole way here."

The four students wanted to try again, but Sheng Congye pretended not to see them and deliberately took out his phone to glance at the time: "Let's hurry up, there's a limited supply in the morning."

"Oh, I see." The boy who greeted him gave a forced smile.

Sheng Congye's dislike for them was obvious, and no one dared to bother them.

Chu Zhu waved to them: "I'm leaving now, see you at the dance studio."

The four of them beamed with joy again, their earlier dejection completely gone.

As the two gradually distanced themselves, before Chu Zhuo could even ask his question, Sheng Congye suddenly pulled him and sped off to a less crowded area.

The campus was bustling in the morning. There was no one in the pavilion. After climbing a few steps, I saw the newly carved wrists of the lush wild pine trees.

Sheng Congye wiped his sweaty palms along his trouser seam and said, slowly and deliberately, "Hello, junior, may I pursue you?"

Chuzhuo: "?"

001, as if facing a formidable enemy, paused eating its potato chips, floated to Sheng Congye's side, and scanned him rapidly, issuing an urgent warning: [Host, he's the villain!]

Chuzhuo: "???"

Although Chu Zhuo had been silent for quite some time, at least she hadn't explicitly refused. Sheng Congye knew this wasn't a good time, but he simply couldn't hold back any longer.

It was only the first day of classes after the military training ended, and someone had already gone out of their way to find him. Chu Zhuo's good relationships with others made him feel a sense of crisis, and he immediately put aside all his worries.

So what if we only met yesterday? If he hadn't been so hot-headed yesterday, he would have confessed to me already.

"You don't need to answer me right away. I'll wait. In the meantime, you can observe me as you see fit." The burly man's eyes were filled with a stubbornness, yet he spoke patiently. "I just hope you won't reject me outright. Please give me a chance, okay?"

The exclamations of surprise from 001 continued, and Chu Zhu nodded indifferently: "Okay."

*

After finishing her meal, Chu Zhuo leisurely headed towards the dance studio.

001 explained in his ear: "In the small world, villains and protagonists aren't always enemies; they're identified by the strength of their magnetic fields. Sheng Congye's magnetic field was too strong, and the small world's Heavenly Dao already had a protagonist. He wasn't on the protagonist's side, and his reputation was mixed, not as righteous as the protagonist's, so he was identified as a villain."

Initial comment: [So hasty.]

001 Spreads Bird Claws: [Who says otherwise? When the laws of the small world turn evil, there's another set of unfair standards for favoring the protagonist. In this case, the protagonist of the small world isn't necessarily a good person; a cold-blooded and selfish person who never actively harms others, and whose every bad deed is a form of retaliation—this type of protagonist in the small world isn't necessarily a bad person either… Three thousand great worlds, three thousand small worlds—three thousand is just a rough description, it's far more than that.]

Chu Zhuo's enthusiastic response: [Wow, 001, you have so many insights after transforming!]

001 wagged its tail feathers: [Host, I'm going to play with Senior Cat.]

Chu Zhuo: [Go ahead, go ahead.]

People in the small world can't see 001. During military training, she was almost pounced on by the cat senior, which surprised her. She would go and play with the cat senior whenever she had the chance.

Upon arriving at the dance studio, a classmate he'd greeted on the way pulled him aside and whispered, "Ji Chuzhuo, I asked around about that guy you were with this morning. He's a third-year student in the Physical Education department, and apparently he has a really bad temper. Do you want to ask your advisor if you can transfer dorms?"

Rather than relying on hearsay, Chu Zhuo had actually spent time with Sheng Congye and spoke up for him, saying, "Sheng Congye is a very nice person. He waited for me to eat breakfast in the morning and helped me blow-dry my hair in the evening. Yao Yixin, when you meet someone, don't judge them based on hearsay."

If it were anyone else, and their good intentions were contradicted to their face, Yao Yixin would definitely ignore them completely.

But Ji Chuzhuo was so good-looking that his rebuttal was sincere and gentle. He adopted a receptive attitude: "Okay, if, I mean if, he bullies you, you must tell me, as well as the other students. Although we dance students are not as burly and strong as the sports students, we are not afraid of causing trouble."

"Yes, we dance students will work together to defeat all the physical education students," Chu Zhu encouraged him.

Yao Yixin pretended to pinch Chu Zhuo's face: "Well, Ji Chu Zhuo, I kindly treated you as a friend, and you're making fun of me?"

Chu Zhuo quickly dodged to the side, pulling his roommate over to shield him: "Yao Yixin has gone mad, you guys stop him!"

The roommate, who was being used as a "shield," cooperated by opening his arms: "Yao Yixin, calm down. Murder is a crime. You got into Beijing University to bring honor to your ancestors. Murder won't get you any punishment."
