Saturday.

The AIC Global Campus Algorithm Competition kicked off at Peking University.

More than 100 teams and thousands of contestants came to Peking University from all over the country.

The campus was plastered with promotional signs for the competition. From the south gate to the gymnasium, there was a blue and white competition display board every ten meters, and the streetlights along the main road displayed the flags of the participating countries and regions.

The giant LED screen above the main entrance of the stadium is playing highlights from previous competitions.

At eight o'clock, a long queue formed at the entrance of the stadium.

The participating teams began checking in.

Kyoto University volunteers, dressed in matching white T-shirts and holding signs, announced through megaphones: "Algorithm Challenge participants, please use Gate A—Industry-Specific Challenge participants, please proceed to Zone B—"

Lin Xuechun was among them.

She got up and dressed up specially today because she was going to be hosting guests.

Her hair was all combed up and tied into a loose bun on top of her head, revealing her full and intelligent forehead.

A few strands of hair fell naturally, softly clinging to her cheeks.

She already had a good natural look, and after a little makeup and a touch of red lipstick, her face looked especially radiant.

Her small face was full of features: bright, expressive eyes, a pert nose, and rosy lips.

The simple T-shirt and jeans she wore didn't make her look ordinary at all; on the contrary, their simplicity accentuated her bright eyes, white teeth, fair skin, and red lips.

If you stand in a huge crowd, you'll be spotted immediately, and once you see someone, you won't be able to look away; people will stare at you for a long time.

As soon as she appeared with her name tag on, many male contestants came over to ask her for directions.

Four or five people surrounded her, and she couldn't answer all their questions.

When Xi Chenzhou and Shen Yu arrived, this was the scene they saw: boys kept coming up to talk to Lin Xuechun, their faces beaming with smiles, their eyes wide with admiration, and they were even holding their phones, ready to scan her WeChat QR code.

"My goddess is so popular." Shen Yu sighed, staring at the other side.

Xi Chenzhou's eyes darkened, and he walked in that direction with a cold expression.

Shen Yu followed.

Xi Chenzhou was still wearing a loose black sweatshirt today, but he changed the brand to a Swedish streetwear brand with a few small letter logos on the chest, very understated.

With long strides, one hand was in his hoodie pocket, the other hanging at his side, holding the contestant's name tag. A blue rope was loosely wrapped around his fingertips, and behind the transparent plastic cover was a card with his photo and name on it.

His name tag swayed back and forth in the air as he walked.

The face in the photo had dark eyebrows, cold eyes, and sharp features; it was handsome in a way that was almost aggressive.

A boy was asking Lin Xuechun, "Excuse me, how do I get to the players' rest area in section B? Can you take me there?"

Xi Chenzhou stood next to Lin Xuechun, glanced at the boy casually, and his eyes were quite intimidating.

The boy was stunned for a moment, a little intimidated by his aura.

Shen Yu, quick to notice, stepped forward and familiarly put his arm around the boy's shoulder. "I know the way. I'm just about to go there. Come on, I'll take you."

The boy hadn't even added Lin Xuechun on WeChat yet, he'd already scanned her QR code, and was still determined to ask her questions. Shen Yu pulled him forward, whispering in his ear, "Hey, which school are you from? What program are you participating in?"

"Oh, oh, I am..."

Shen Yu chatted with people as he walked.

Only Xi Chenzhou and Lin Xuechun remained in the same spot.

Xi Chenzhou is tall with broad shoulders and long legs. He has a cool and handsome face, and he and Lin Xuechun look like a perfect match. Some boys even wanted to go up to Lin Xuechun to ask her something, but they gave up after seeing his face and figure.

Whoever goes past is made to look like a clown.

No one bothered them. Xi Chenzhou looked down at Lin Xuechun, his gaze lingering on her pretty face: "You're wearing makeup?"

"Mmm." Lin Xuechun lowered her eyes and blinked her eyelashes. They had only officially confirmed their relationship a few days ago, and she felt a little shy every time they met after being apart.

Xi Chenzhou smiled and asked, "What time did you arrive?"

"7:30." Lin Xuechun adjusted the strap of her name tag around her neck.

Some stray hairs were stuck under the strap of her name tag at the back of her neck. Xi Chenzhou reached out and tidied them for her, then handed her his own name tag. "Help me put it on."

Lin Xuechun glanced around; there were so many people. She felt a little shy, but she didn't refuse him. She took off his name tag and said, "Lower your head for a moment."

Xi Chenzhou lowered his neck.

Lin Xuechun put the name tag rope around his neck.

Because of this action, the two people's faces were very close.

Xi Chenzhou stared at her delicate face and asked in a low voice, "Have you had breakfast?"

Lin Xuechun blushed, glanced at him quickly, and whispered, "I ate. What about you?"

"without."

"I have some small loaves of bread in my bag, take them for me."

Lin Xuechun carried a small bag with her. She turned her body slightly, bent down and took out two small packaged breads from the bag, the kind you can eat one bite at a time, and then stuffed them into Xi Chenzhou's hoodie pocket.

Xi Chenzhou looked down and saw that there was nothing left in her bag.

"If you give it all to me, what will you eat?"

"These are just snacks; I can eat them or not."

"I'll take one, one for each of you."

Xi Chenzhou took one out of his pocket and put it back in her bag.

Lin Xuechun took it out again, tore open the packaging bag, and handed it to him: "I've already eaten breakfast. You haven't eaten yet, and you have a competition later, so don't go hungry."

"So you care about me that much?" Xi Chenzhou took it, raised an eyebrow, and spoke casually with a grainy tone.

Lin Xuechun's earlobes flushed slightly, her cheeks rosy, making her look particularly shy. She didn't respond to his question: "What time is your match? Which district?"

"10:30, Area A, are you coming?" Xi Chenzhou said, taking a bite of his bread. His Adam's apple bobbed as the faint milky aroma of the bread filled his mouth.

She likes this kind of milky flavor.

He chewed and thought at the same time.

Lin Xuechun said, "I should be finished here by nine o'clock, and then I'll go over."

"Okay." Xi Chenzhou swallowed his bread, raised his finger, and pointed to the area below her eyelid. "You have an eyelash on your face."

"Hmm?" Lin Xuechun did feel a slight itch on her face. She subconsciously raised her hand and rubbed the itchy spot on her cheek with her fingertips. "Did you get it off?"

"No." Xi Chenzhou reached out and gently rubbed her eyelashes with his rough fingertips, then touched her face with his bent finger. It was as delicate as he had imagined.

He slowly withdrew his hand, his dark eyes still fixed on her.

He couldn't help but want to touch her whenever he saw her, either fiddling with her hair or touching her cheek.

In short, I have to touch it to feel comfortable.

Lin Xuechun blushed under his gaze and lowered her eyelashes shyly: "Aren't you going in?"

"No rush, we haven't finished signing in yet." Xi Chenzhou wanted to spend more time with her and talk for a while.

"What event are you participating in?"

"Interactive robot".
