After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

Lin Xuechun arrived at the school gate.

I thought the takeout would just be a tote bag, but what I found in front of me was something like an insulated box, about half the size of a suitcase, and it looked quite heavy.

"Young lady, give me your QR code." The delivery man slammed the package down on the ground, urging her on impatiently.

Lin Xuechun checked her phone messages and found the four-digit delivery code, which she then gave to the uncle.

After typing, the man hopped on his electric scooter and sped away.

Lin Xuechun looked at the insulated box in front of her, bent down and picked it up. It was heavy and she had some difficulty carrying it. Zhou Xinran came forward to help, and they each carried one handle.

"Wow, that's incredibly extravagant! Who ordered this for you?"

"I don't know," Lin Xuechun shook her head, also puzzled.

Zhou Xinran suddenly thought, "Could it be Gong Shaoyang?! He sent you flowers a few times before, and he's been contacting Xu Yang a lot lately, subtly trying to find out about you. Oh right, he even organized a secret meeting over the weekend and insisted I invite you. He only gave up after I told him you don't like going out."

The thought that it was a gift from Gong Shaoyang made Lin Xuechun's mood heavy, as if the thing in her hand was a bomb. She complained as she walked, "He even came to my elective class today and told me about your escape room trip this weekend, which I refused."

Zhou Xinran: Good for you! Xu Yang told me yesterday that Gong Shaoyang didn't go back to the dorm last weekend and stayed out. I bet he went to a hotel with some girl. You should never get involved with a guy like him who only dates once a month.

"Hmm." Lin Xuechun nodded, looking at the explosive charge in her hand with a troubled expression. "What should we do with this? Should we take it down to his dorm?"

Zhou Xinran: "No, that would just let more people know he's pursuing you."

"That's true." Lin Xuechun frowned in annoyance. She disliked Gong Shaoyang's flamboyant way of pursuing her. The last time he sent her roses, he had them delivered directly to the classroom, attracting a lot of attention. Fortunately, Zhou Xinran stepped in and said that Xu Yang had sent them, which helped to cover up the incident discreetly.

"Forget it, we'll check which restaurant made the dish when we get back and just give him the money back. Let's skip the cafeteria tonight and just eat this."

Zhou Xinran agreed: "Sure, sure, I'll split the bill with you for the meal."

"No need, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't know how to get this back to the dorm."

Go back to dorms.

As usual, the two third-year female students were nowhere to be seen. Both of them had rented apartments off-campus with their boyfriends and only came back occasionally.

Normally, only Lin Xuechun and Zhou Xinran live in the dormitory.

The advantage is that you don't have to rush when washing up or going to the toilet.

Lin Xuechun opened the insulated box and took out the packing boxes one by one.

The takeout boxes were labeled with the dishes: fish maw chicken soup, steamed grouper, stir-fried kale with ginger juice, stewed snow frog with red dates and goji berries...

There's also the restaurant's own logo.

Zhou Xinran looked at the logo, then suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Wow! Isn't this the Black Pearl restaurant near the school? The average cost per person is over 1000 yuan. Gong Shaoyang really went all out this time! These dishes must cost over a thousand yuan in total."

This meal costs over a thousand?!

Lin Xuechun felt dizzy. Her monthly living expenses were only three thousand yuan. After paying for food, would she even be able to make ends meet this month?

That Gong Shaoyang really knows how to cause her trouble!

She ended up eating such an expensive meal for no reason!

Just as he was mentally cursing Gong Shaoyang to death, his phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

She picked it up to examine it.

It's a WeChat message.

xcz: [Received it? Remember to eat it while it's hot.]

What?

Lin Xuechun was stunned, and typed: [Did you order the meal at Fulan?]

xcz: [Hmm.]

Seeing this, Lin Xuechun felt inexplicably relieved, as long as it wasn't Gong Shaoyang who ordered it.

But this ease didn't last long, and soon the price of the meal came to mind.

Olaf: [Thank you so much, but this is too expensive. How much did you spend? I'll transfer the money to you.]

Her heart was bleeding as she typed those words.

Her little face scrunched up.

Why did you order something so expensive? She can't even afford to repay the favor, sob sob...

xcz: [No need.]

I ordered such an expensive meal for her for no reason.

You shouldn't accept rewards without merit.

It was as if they knew what she was thinking, because they quickly sent another message:

xcz: [Can you do me a favor?]

Olaf: [What?]

xcz: [We'll talk about it next time we meet. You should eat well first.]

Olaf: [Okay, thanks.]

After finishing typing, Lin Xuechun subconsciously touched her earlobe with her finger. Her fingertip touched something warm, and she quickly withdrew it and put down her phone.

"What's wrong, baby? Gong Shaoyang came to claim this meal?" Zhou Xinran came over, her eyes full of gossip.

Lin Xuechun brushed a stray hair behind her ear, a little embarrassed: "Xi Chenzhou ordered it."

Zhou Xinran was shocked: "What?! He's pursuing you? Are you still going to pay for the meal?"

"He refused, saying he wanted me to do him a favor."

"Tch, what help? Just an excuse. But baby, I think he's much more reliable than Gong Shaoyang. He hasn't had any bad scandals with him yet. Why don't you consider it?"

"Time to eat." Lin Xuechun lowered her eyes shyly, took a lunchbox, and carefully peeled off the plastic wrap at the seal with her slender white fingers.

The plastic wrap made a soft ripping sound.

Zhou Xinran knew she was shy, so she stopped teasing her and joined in tearing off the plastic wrap.

After finishing the meal.

Lin Xuechun went to the small balcony to wash and hang Xi Chenzhou's shirt up to dry.

With nothing else to do that evening, and remembering that she hadn't finished her group assignment from last week, she sat down at her desk, turned on her computer, and continued reading academic papers.

Zhou Xinran then played games with Xu Yang via live stream.

"Go to the left! To the left! Yes, yes, yes—help me, help me, help me!"

"Ugh, are you even capable? Xu Yang is so stupid!"

……

Around 10 PM, Zhou Xinran was still playing games, while Lin Xuechun had already finished showering, comfortably climbed into bed, and started scrolling through her phone after pulling back the curtains.

This time of day is the most relaxing time for her.

Today, ksmk123 said he would send her photos of foreign school team athletes tonight, and she eagerly clicked on the private message.

[Brother, what happened to the promised benefits?]

It's already evening.

[Sitting obediently.jpg]

Xi Chenzhou had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom.

With his tall and slender figure, he wore a loose black T-shirt and shorts. His broad and straight shoulders filled out the T-shirt, and his limbs were long and slender. He had fair skin and beautiful, smooth muscle lines. It was not hard to imagine how amazing his figure must be under the loose T-shirt.

Water droplets dripped from the ends of his hair onto his shoulder, spreading a small patch of dark color on his black clothes.

He casually grabbed a towel and wiped himself a couple of times, then walked half-dry to the bedside and leaned lazily against the headboard.

The warm yellow light from the bedside lamp enveloped him, making his pale skin appear even more refined.

He picked up his phone, saw the message in the Douyin private message, and smiled slightly. He scrolled through his photo album, selected a short video, and sent it over.

Lin Xuechun quickly found her earphones, put them on, and turned on the app.

In the video, a boy wearing a blue hockey protective suit is seen dribbling the puck at high speed on the ice rink.

He was tall and broad-shouldered, his hockey sticks nimbly switching between left and right, his skates tracing clean arcs across the ice.

Two opposing defenders tried to double-team him, but with a nimble change of direction and a slight tilt of his body, he smoothly passed between them with his stick, the entire movement incredibly fluid, like an elegant yet swift cheetah skimming across the ice.

Cheers and screams erupted all around.

The sounds of various cheering English words were faintly mixed in.

Lin Xuechun watched intently, her heart pounding in rhythm with the man on screen.

Although the helmet covered his face, obscuring his features, the combination of power and speed, and the composed control he displayed during intense combat, made it clear that the face beneath the helmet must be equally stunning!

【Aaaaaah!】

Brother, is this really you?

ksmk123: [Hmm.]

A single, simple word.

Lin Xuechun felt like she was floating.

I got carried away.

[Ahhh! My brother is so handsome! I want to roll around on his broad shoulders!]

I want to snuggle into my brother's arms!

[I want to kiss, hug, and touch you, I really love my brother so much!]

Across the internet, Lin Xuechun expressed her true emotions without restraint.

She's just that kind of superficial person; she likes all things beautiful.

I like handsome men's appearance.

Xi Chenzhou lowered his eyes and stared at his phone.

As he read the lines of text she typed, his mind involuntarily conjured up the image of her innocent face as she spoke those words. The stark contrast made his ears turn red, his breathing slow, and his heart pound in his chest.

Do you like him that much?

He hovered his index finger above the screen, unsure how to reply.

Lin Xuechun didn't mind that there was no immediate reply from the other end.

She's currently starving and only wants to see beautiful bodies.

Do you have any photos of your brother playing ice hockey?

I want to see it!

Xi Chenzhou pursed his lips, looked down at his phone and searched for something, then sent another video.

The photo was taken by a classmate during a high school ice hockey league and sent to him.

In the video, he stands with his back to the camera at the edge of the arena. He has just taken off his helmet, and his short blond hair is a little messy from being pressed down by the helmet. He casually runs one hand through his hair and neatly flips it from front to back, making his hair fluffy and distinct. With his other hand on the barrier at the edge of the arena, his arm muscles are slightly tense. With a push of his palm, he lightly leaps up and flips from inside the arena to outside.

The surrounding area was still filled with deafening screams.

It was just a back view, not even a face, yet it already made people imagine how stunning the front view must be.

When Lin Xuechun saw the video, she felt as if Cupid had shot her in the heart.

So cool!

She was hit instantly.

Is this what a crush feels like?

She was at a loss for words; she was exhausted.

[Brother, help!]

ksmk: [?]

He's so handsome I can't breathe!

ksmk: [...]

I want to be kissed, hugged, and lifted high in the air by you; I want to swing on your arms...

ksmk: [What's this meme all about?]

[It's like... your arms are supporting my legs, swaying back and forth.]

ksmk: [...] Is your period starting?

Hmm. I really... want to.

ksmk: [You'll get it just by dating]

[Sob, but in reality, I can't find a super handsome guy like you!]

ksmk: [Aren't there any suitors around you?]

Is he pursuing her?

Lin Xuechun's mind conjured up the image of Xi Chenzhou; his affection for her had been quite obvious today.

To be honest, he and this ksmk123 have quite similar builds.

They all have pale, cool-toned skin.

The key point is that Xi Chenzhou is quite handsome too.

His appearance is exactly what she likes.

If you put Xi Chenzhou's face onto this ksmk123, it doesn't seem out of place at all.

As soon as she put herself into the role, Lin Xuechun's heart started racing for no apparent reason.

My cheeks felt slightly hot.

She raised her hand to cover her face, trying to cool down, when another message popped up on the other end: 【Who are you thinking of?】

He's so perceptive; he actually knew she was thinking about someone else.

But of course, you can't admit to something like that.

No one expected that they would mentally undress their brother.

ksmk123: [...]

He could never have imagined what outrageous things she might say.

ksmk123: [And then?]

Then?

Lin Xuechun: [Then I saw my brother's pectoral muscles, abs, V-line, and...right, speaking of below, my brother's...]

ksmk123: [Want to know?]

Lin Xuechun: [Mmm!]

On the other side of the screen, Xi Chenzhou leaned against the headboard, looked down at Xiao Chenzhou, and felt his ears inexplicably burning. He slowly looked away, raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, then slightly smiled and typed a few words on the screen with his well-defined fingers.

ksmk123: [You'll have to experience it for yourself.]

Lin Xuechun: !!! !!! !!! !!!

How did you feel? Please describe the process in detail, no less than 500 words.

[A little mouse with its hand near its ear.jpg]

Xi Chenzhou chuckled silently, somewhat charmed by her cuteness: 【How do you want to feel?】

Lin Xuechun: [I want to be on top]

[The following are also acceptable]

[Or face-to-face, hanging from your brother's arm and swinging on a swing...]

She described several ways of feeling it in one breath.

As Xi Chenzhou read her message, the scene she described uncontrollably flashed through his mind. His breathing became rapid, and he felt a surge of heat throughout his body.

I just finished taking a shower.

He raised his hand and tugged at the collar of his T-shirt.

The neckline slanted down slightly, revealing her pale, protruding collarbone.

My phone vibrated.

"Is it okay, brother?"

Xi Chenzhou smiled silently, really wanting to tell her right now that it was okay.

But I was also afraid of scaring her away.

And it's uncertain how she'll react once she finds out his identity.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he swallowed hard, before replying, "Go to sleep early; you can dream about anything."

I knew he was just teasing her.

Lin Xuechun retorted, "I took my pants off and this is what you show me?"

ksmk123: [I really doubt you're a girl]

The contrast between her online personality and her real-life personality is simply too great.

Lin Xuechun: [Yes, actually I'm the old man. Handsome young man, I really want to tear your underwear off!]

puff.

Xi Chenzhou couldn't help but laugh out loud.

His lips curled up to the sides, and his usually indifferent and handsome face instantly came to life.

ksmk123: [Grandpa, get some rest. Don't stay up late at your age.]

Lin Xuechun couldn't help but laugh when she saw the reply. She rolled over, pulled the blanket up to her chin, and typed rapidly on the screen, completely absorbed in role-playing—

[Young man, this old man has one last wish before he goes to sleep. Could you please say goodnight to me via voice message?]

After sending it, she bit her lip and smiled, not holding out much hope.

After all, the person on the other end is very concise when typing, so how could they possibly send voice messages?

She was about to turn off her phone and go to sleep when it suddenly vibrated.

Did they actually reply?

She quickly opened the voice message from the other end.

Just a few seconds.

A young, clean voice came through the headphones, with a slightly deep, husky, and languid tone:

Goodnight, sweetie.

The last word's final syllable rose slightly, landing on her eardrums with just the right amount of pressure, like something gently scratching at the tip of her heart.

He actually called her sweetheart!

That's amazing!

I'm totally smitten, nobody understands!!!

Aaaaaahh ...

Lin Xuechun clutched her phone to her chest, feeling as if she were on fire, burning from her ears to her cheeks, even her fingertips were hot. She pulled the blanket over her head, curled up inside, her heart pounding in her chest.

My heart was pounding.

She listened to the voice message repeatedly, and on the third listen, another message popped up on the screen.

ksmk123: [Aren't you going to reply with a goodnight message? Even a voice message.]

Lin Xuechun stared at the line of text and bit her lip.

It was just a "goodnight" message, I didn't reveal anything, it's nothing.

Besides, the other party is overseas.

She pressed the voice button with her thumb, parted her red lips, and softly uttered two words:

"……Good night."

After sending the message, I immediately flipped my phone over and placed it face down on the bed, then raised my hand and gently patted my cheek.

Even though the other person didn't know who she was, she was still so shy.

The next second, the phone vibrated again. I picked it up and looked at it—

ksmk123: [Didn't call him brother]

The heat that had just subsided on Lin Xuechun's cheeks rose again.

Typing "brother" and saying it aloud are two completely different feelings; she was so ashamed that she couldn't even open her mouth.
