We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

"That's the playground, and beyond that is the teaching building."

"oh."

"That's the cafeteria. The first and second floors are for students, and the third floor is for teachers."

"Oh, where's the convenience store?" Lan Shiyu asked.

"It's next to the cafeteria, and the place to top up your meal card is also there. It probably doesn't open until the afternoon."

Lan Shiyu nodded, indicating that she understood.

"By the way, which class are you in?" Li Mubai asked curiously.

"How's Class Two?"

Class Two, that's amazing? Li Mubai thought Lan Shiyu, this e-sports girl, might be transferred to a regular class because her grades weren't good. Is it because her grades are actually good? Or did her family pull some strings?

"Well enough."

The two didn't speak again, and Li Mubai carried Lan Shiyu's luggage downstairs to the girls' dormitory.

"Are you in Class 3?" Lan Shiyu asked again, seemingly wanting to confirm something.

"right."

"Okay, thank you."

After a series of close calls, he finally delivered Lan Shiyu's luggage to the girls' dormitory. Well, how could there be any risk? The students were all enjoying their rest time at home early in the morning; who would come to school like him?

After saying goodbye to Lan Shiyu, Li Mubai went straight back to his dormitory.

As soon as I entered the dormitory, I smelled a foul odor. Wang Rui was slurping some kind of noodles, and the smell was strong.

"Hey, what brings you here so early today?" he asked, looking up.

"I had something to do, so I arrived early," Li Mubai replied while packing his luggage.

Wang Rui chuckled twice, the meaning of which was unclear, and then slurped up another mouthful of noodles.

"What did you eat?" Li Mubai wiped his nose.

"Luosifen (river snail rice noodles), ordered as takeout."

Ordering takeout is allowed at school? I remember it was explicitly prohibited.

"There's a small opening next to the garbage dump where you can pick up takeout orders," Wang Rui explained, seemingly noticing his confusion.

No wonder the snail rice noodles that came from the garbage dump smelled so strong.

Wang Rui smiled sheepishly, stood up, opened the window and door, and then quickly finished eating.

After tidying up, Li Mubai sat down in his seat and waited. There was a group chat message on his phone: "[Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me]".

That's right, Li Mubai changed the group name, after all, Chen Qiuhe's chosen group name was too outrageous.

"Li Mubai." The atmosphere was somewhat silent, and Wang Rui took the initiative to start the conversation.

"Hmm?" He put down his phone.

"Actually, my first boyfriend was quite wealthy."

"..." Although Wang Rui didn't say it explicitly, Li Mubai understood the implication and asked, "How did you two get together?"

"It's a long story, but I'll keep it short," Wang Rui paused and said, "mainly because she pursued me, and we got together when I was still young."

"It's like you're not young anymore," Li Mubai thought to himself. He remembered Wang Rui saying that his ID card showed he was only sixteen years old, but his real age seemed to be a year older.

"So how did you break up?" Li Mubai then asked.

"She was the one who dumped me." Wang Rui gave a helpless bitter smile as he said this. "I was just too young back then. Everyone told me that she was just playing around, but I thought it was true love."

Li Mubai fell into deep thought, and Wang Rui looked up at him and continued:

"I'm telling you this for no other reason than to hope that you won't be deceived in your feelings. Many rich girls just want to experience what love is like. Once their novelty wears off, they'll dump us."

"...", it doesn't mean anything else, but it's all hinting at him.

"Of course, not everyone is the same. Maybe she is different," Wang Rui said half-jokingly.

"Haha, what are you babbling about? I'm going to have lunch first." Li Mubai chuckled, glanced at the time, saw it was past noon, and left.

Ugh……

The weather was sunny, and Li Mubai planned to leave after lunch. The cafeteria was closed on weekends, so he could only go to the convenience store.

There were few students, and sometimes a stretch of road was completely deserted, which was a rare tranquility. Li Mubai liked to take a walk alone in this tranquility.

Forget about class differences and the idea that it's just a game; Li Mubai should just focus on studying hard.

"Li Mubai, you're at the convenience store too?" Lan Shiyu's voice suddenly rang out, startling Li Mubai.

"Yes, the cafeteria is closed on weekend lunch breaks."

"Oh, my roommate hasn't come back yet. I'm going to the convenience store to buy some daily necessities. They should have these, right?"

"some."

Li Mubai's toiletries were also bought at school, saving him the trouble of bringing them from outside.

There were a few students scattered around the convenience store. He and Lan Shiyu were about to go in when they suddenly paused, wondering if they couldn't even avoid this...

As Deng Yi finished paying the bill and was about to return to her dormitory, she ran into the two of them. She glanced at Li Mubai and the girl next to him, then smiled and greeted them:

"Good afternoon, vice squad leader."

"Good afternoon." Li Mubai forced a smile and slightly distanced himself from Lan Shiyu.

Lan Shiyu glanced at Deng Yi, then at Li Mubai, and said as she walked:

"I'm going to buy something. You two can continue chatting."

……

What are we talking about? Li Mubai scratched the back of his neck, feeling a little embarrassed. He was about to say that he was going to buy something when Deng Yi spoke first, a mischievous smile on her face:

"Vice class monitor, is that girl your girlfriend?"

Bang!

Lan Shiyu, who was standing in front of the beverage counter at the entrance of the convenience store pretending to take a drink, lost her grip and dropped a bottle of water. She quickly picked it up and put it back, then closed the door and pretended nothing had happened as she walked inside.

"No, she's a transfer student who just arrived today. Her family knows my family, so she asked me to show her around the campus," Li Mubai said helplessly.

"Oh~" Deng Yi looked enlightened. It turned out that her childhood sweetheart had appeared out of nowhere. She smiled, said nothing more, said goodbye to Li Mubai, and left.

Fortunately, she forgot to bring one of her assignments last week, which forced her to come early today to finish it. That's when she discovered that Li Mubai had a childhood sweetheart! She'll give Xie Shu a good dressing down when he arrives!

Watching Deng Yi walk away, Li Mubai thought to himself, "She should be alright, right? There was nothing to begin with. As long as we talk things out, no one should really misunderstand."

He went back into the convenience store, went to the fast food section, looked at the instant noodles, then glanced at the self-heating rice sold next to it, hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a box of self-heating rice.

Do you remember that lunchtime when Xie Shu ate this self-heating rice? Was it any better? Li Mubai didn't know, but it was definitely much more expensive than instant noodles.

Upon reaching the checkout counter, Lan Shiyu was carrying a new basin containing daily necessities such as toothbrushes and mouthwash cups, as well as a bag of snacks. She glanced at Li Mubai standing behind her and said:

"So rich? I can only afford instant noodles."

"Just this once, let's try it."

"oh."

After paying, Lan Shiyu didn't leave immediately. Instead, she waited for Li Mubai to pay before they walked out of the convenience store together. She hesitated for a moment before finally asking:

"Was that girl you were with just now your girlfriend?"
