I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

Just as Lin Zhou stood at the bathroom door with his clothes in his hand, the sound of water inside stopped.

The bathroom was very foggy.

The frosted glass door was covered with fine water droplets, and warm white light shone through from inside.

Lin Zhou looked down at the clothes in his hand—soft pajamas, which Ye Zhiyu had just asked him to bring over.

Lin Zhou was silent for three seconds, feeling that this was extremely absurd.

It's not entirely impossible for someone to forget their clothes before taking a shower.

But when it happened to Ye Zhiyu, it seemed like it was intentional.

Was it intentional?

No, no, no, no, it's perfectly normal for anything to happen to Ye Zhiyu. Why do I think that the behavior of a genius is logical?

"I've left the clothes by the door," Lin Zhou said to the bathroom after placing the clothes at the door.

"oh."

Ye Zhiyu's lazy voice came from the bathroom.

Just as Lin Zhou was about to turn and leave, the bathroom door was suddenly pulled open a crack—

A burst of heat rushed out from the crack in the door, and the next second, Ye Zhiyu's head popped out from behind the door.

Her short hair was wet and clung to the sides of her face, with water droplets sliding down the ends. Her usual sleepy look was softened by the moisture, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

Lin Zhou stood rooted to the spot. "Hey, what are you doing?"

Ye Zhiyu blinked. "Get the clothes."

Why do you stick your head out to get the clothes? You could just stick your hand out.

"Please confirm the service with rider Lin Zhou. You'll be penalized if you miss a delivery."

"This isn't a food delivery platform..."

Ye Zhiyu's gaze swept across his face, her eyes slightly amused. "Lin Zhou."

"what?"

"Want to shower together? I'll scrub your back for you?" Ye Zhiyu grinned mischievously, extending her fair arm and gently waving it up and down.

The atmosphere seemed to quiet down. The remaining heat from the bathroom was still seeping out, and the steam swirled around the edges of her damp hair, making Xiaoyu's face appear both close and unreal.

Lin Zhou sensed something was off. "What mischief are you up to now?"

"Do you think I'd fall for that again?"

The last time I was secretly photographed, it left an embarrassing mark on my record!

"Yoooooooo, if you don't want it, then forget it." Ye Zhiyu closed the door again.

Lin Zhou shook his head, silently put on his glasses, returned to his chair, and looked out the window at the scenery.

……

……

Several days passed like this, and the weekend arrived.

Today was the day we had agreed to go to the aquarium together. The moment the alarm clock rang, Lin Zhou got up and pulled back the curtain.

The sun was shining brightly, and the wind was just right.

Lin Zhou changed into a looser set of clothes.

Because of his leg injury, he couldn't wear tight pants, so he ended up choosing a pair of sweatpants, paired with a simple white short-sleeved shirt and a jacket.

Looking at himself in the mirror, covered in bandages, Lin Zhou felt like he wasn't going on a date at an aquarium, but rather like a recovering patient who had just escaped from a hospital.

Or it was the kind of escape attempt that ended up being caught and brought back.

"Never mind."

He went to the living room on the first floor.

When Lin Zhou stood in the living room and saw the scene before him, he suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.

It was just an ordinary weekend.

But the fact that his four childhood friends were sitting in his living room made the scene quite unusual. How long had it been since they had gathered together like this?

It seems like it's been a long time since we've been together like this since that incident happened.

At this moment, Luo Xiaoke was sitting on the sofa, holding a large bag of potato chips, chewing with her cheeks bulging.

Today she wore a light-colored knitted top that hugged her slender shoulders, and a pink short skirt that spread out above her knees, her legs gently touching, revealing her fair and slender figure beneath the skirt. Even while eating potato chips, her near-perfect figure made people want to look at her for a while longer.

Lin Zhou stared at it for two and a half seconds longer.

Luo Xiaoke smiled and lifted the potato chips, her voice still as soft and gentle as ever.

"Zhouzhou~ You're awake~ Do you want something to eat?"

"I'm not eating," Lin Zhou said.

"Okay~"

Ye Zhiyu, sitting next to Luo Xiaoke, was playing a game with her head down. Compared to the others, Xiaoyu's clothes were the most unique.

Dressed in gothic style.

The black lace and burgundy bow made her skin look very fair, and the waistline was beautifully cinched by the skirt, making her look slender but not thin.

She held the game console with her head down, her short hair falling to the side of her face, her legs naturally together, and her legs encased in black stockings swaying gently with the rhythm of the game.

"Little fish," Lin Zhou said.

"Hmm?" Ye Zhiyu responded without even raising her head.

"Your outfit..."

"I know I'm cute, can you lend me some money?" Ye Zhiyu said, raising her eyes, then suddenly shook her head and sighed, as if she were hurt.

"I've given you everything these past few days, and you, you man, don't know how to cherish someone at all..."

"I'm just helping you manage your allowance, right?!" Lin Zhou was speechless.

"Tsk, I was just talking about pocket money, what are you thinking?"

"Then I was talking about pocket money."

Bai Wanwan sat quietly to the side, watching the two bicker silently.

Today she wore a light blue coat and a dark long skirt, her hair tied in a ponytail, with her long, silvery-white hair draped over her shoulders, looking cool and clean.

Just as Lin Zhou looked at her, Bai Wanwan also looked up.

Their eyes met.

Bai Wanwan blinked.

"Lin Zhou".

"You look adorable today," Lin Zhou said, giving a thumbs up.

Bai Wanwan twirled her hair with her fingers, her expression blank, but the moment Lin Zhou praised her, her ahoge (a stray hair on her head) slowly stood up.

Gu Yuning squatted next to the fat cat, gently stroking its head.

Her outfit today was quite different; her hair was pulled back, with a few stray strands falling on her face, which made her usual serious demeanor as a student council president much less pronounced.

She has a very upright figure, with clean lines in her shoulders and neck, and a straight back. Even when she is just squatting down to pet a cat, she exudes an elegance that comes from strict upbringing.

Despite her petite stature, she exudes a mature and sophisticated aura.

Gu Yuning stroked the cat and asked Lin Zhou, "Has Merlin gotten fatter lately? I remember it was very thin when it was a kitten."

"It's normal for a blue cat to be a little chubby," Lin Zhou said.

The cat seemed to understand, patting the carpet with its tail, "Meow-nee-ga~"

Lin Zhou suddenly seemed to have discovered something.

Everyone seems to have dressed up nicely today. It's true that girls will take care of themselves before going out. Lin Zhou suddenly wondered if they were all dressed up for themselves?

It's best not to dream dreams that can't be realized.

Bai Wanwan is still a possibility, with 99+ favorability ratings, while Ye Zhiyu, in her early twenties, is dressed in the most glamorous way.

"I made you breakfast. Let's eat first before we set off," Gu Yuning said.

Lin Zhou glanced at the dining table, where there was a simple cheese and egg sandwich, which seemed to have tomatoes in it as well.

"Thank you." Lin Zhou sat down in the restaurant and began to enjoy his breakfast.

After finishing his meal in a few bites, Lin Zhou noticed that all four girls were staring at him. He instinctively touched his face to make sure there was nothing strange on it, then asked,

"What's wrong?"

"Ready to go~" Luo Xiaoke said with a smile, "Who do you want to help you?"

Lin Zhou: "..."
