We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

"Li Mubai".

"Um?"

"fine."

Chen Qiuhe didn't know how to bring it up. They had discussed it for a long time yesterday, but hadn't come up with a feasible solution.

"Let me make a bold assumption: if there were an opportunity to showcase your dashing and debonair charm, would you seize it?" she cautiously probed.

"You want me to perform at the opening ceremony? Why don't you just have a girl do it?"

Li Mubai saw through her intentions at a glance, but there was no way he would participate. I said that even if Xie Shu came, it wouldn't make a difference!

"There's no other way, Zhang Qian wants to add two more boys to the group."

"Hmm—" Li Mubai looked thoughtful after listening, then asked, "Who is Zhang Qian?"

"...Zhang Qian is the literature and art committee member."

"Oh!"

Suddenly realizing, there was nothing he could do; he didn't pay much attention to the other classmates.

"Why are you so concerned about this?" Li Mubai asked curiously.

"Because Deng Yi is my roommate! I'm doing this to help my roommate."

"Okay, but I can't participate. You should find another guy."

Chen Qiuhe stroked her chin, as if she had thought of something, and whispered with a mischievous chuckle, "Really?"

"I will absolutely not participate."

"Xie Shu will also be participating!"

What does ？？？ mean?

"I won't participate," he repeated.

"Stop pretending. I saw through you last Friday. Stop making excuses."

Li Mubai's heart tightened suddenly, but at this moment, he couldn't afford to be nervous or show weakness, nor could he deny it outright. He pretended to be confused and asked:

"What did you figure out?"

"What do you think? Should I count for you how many times you peeked at her during class?"

Was it that obvious? I only peeked at it a few times while pretending to look at the blackboard.

"Whatever you want. If you subjectively believe it to be this way, then even if the objective reality is different, you won't believe it."

Li Mu Bai remained stubborn; he couldn't admit it, because admitting it would confirm the truth, while denying it would mean he would forever remain Schrödinger's cat.

"As expected of a liberal arts student, even their speech is full of dialectics."

Seeing him turn back to study with an indifferent attitude, Chen Qiuhe continued casually:

"Since you don't care, then I'll share my new discovery with others."

"Do as you please."

Ha... You're so stubborn, I'll teach you a lesson.

"Zhang Chun".

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Chun looked up and asked. The two people in front of her had been whispering to each other. She was curious, but too embarrassed to ask directly.

"Let me share some gossip I just learned."

Chen Qiuhe spoke slowly, word by word, as if she were speaking to Li Mubai beside her.

"Wow! What is it? Tell me."

Gossiping is human nature.

"that is…"

"Ring ring! Class is starting, students. Please take your seats."

"Hey, I'll tell you after class."

"All right."

Li Mubai, who was gripping the pen tightly, involuntarily loosened his grip.

"I give up. What are you going to do?"

He quickly passed her a note.

"Haha." Chen Qiuhe couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Chen Qiuhe, what are you laughing at? Are you really good at math? Come up here and solve this problem."

"…OK."

Haha, the smile won't disappear, it will just transfer to someone else's face.

……

"Qiuhe, what exactly is that gossip?" Zhang Chun asked impatiently as soon as get out of class ended.

"Come here, I'll tell you a secret."

Chen Qiuhe and Zhang Chun exchanged a few words quietly, and the latter sat back down in disappointment after hearing them.

"What did you say to her?"

Li Mubai asked on the paper, after all, walls have ears, and the students in the classroom were not separated by walls, but only by desks.

What do you think?

"Don't spread rumors and damage the friendship between classmates."

"Haha, I'm just kidding. I was talking to Zhang Chun about Liu Ting's gossip."

Anyway, Liu Ting didn't intend to hide her thoughts, Chen Qiuhe tried to justify herself in her mind.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do? Participate in a performance?"

"Wait, let me ask you a question first: do you actually like XS?"

Using the first letter of someone else's name as a substitute is the simplest and most common form of Morse code.

"I don't like it, but I'm afraid it will have a negative impact."

He couldn't imagine what Xie Shu would do if he found out. Would he feel disgust? Would he distance himself? Would they eventually become strangers to each other as classmates?

"hehe."

Chen Qiuhe let out a cryptic laugh and said directly, "We've already asked for leave for our afternoon practical and physical education classes. We'll practice in an empty dance studio then."

"Um, should I jump too?" Li Mubai still wanted to struggle a bit more.

"I don't know, you can ask Deng Yi this afternoon."

……

"Ugh."

"Wang Rui, why have you been sighing and complaining ever since you came back at noon?"

"Ugh."

"Brother Yong, what's wrong with him?"

"What else could have happened? He was forced to play the role of a young man in ancient Chinese style."

That's good. It would be too awkward for a guy like me to stand alone.

"Oh, why don't you refuse? You can't be subdued by force," Zhao Feng said.

"I declined, but my girlfriend wants me to participate."

"...Why didn't you call me?" Yang Kun asked, stroking his chin.

"You dare to try and copy any modeling you've got? You'll end up looking like a eunuch when you put on Hanfu."

"It's alright." Yang Kun took out his phone and examined it.

"Stop looking at Daniel Wu's photos. If you open your camera and take a selfie, you'll explode."

Zhao Feng turned on the camera's selfie mode for him, and a slightly round face appeared on the phone screen.

"Ugh."

Another heartbroken person has joined the boys' dormitory, while the girls' dormitory 412 is filled with a smug atmosphere.

"You don't know, as soon as I took action, Wang Rui volunteered to participate," Liu Ting said smugly.

"Didn't he refuse at first and then agree?" Ye Manqi said.

"Well, you have to give people some time to think."

"Okay, okay, now that Wang Rui's side is settled, Qiu He, how's it going on your side?" Deng Yi asked.

"Alright, Li Mubai agrees to participate."

"Really? How did you do that?" Deng Yi asked incredulously.

Chen Qiuhe's gaze shifted uncomfortably elsewhere: "This... don't ask too many questions, anyway, we've brought the person to you."

"Oh~ there's a secret," Liu Ting teased.

"No!"

No, wait, there really is one, but it's not between him and me.

"Alright, alright, now that both boys are here, thank you for your hard work."

Deng Yi took out two cans of Want Want milk and gave them to Chen Qiuhe and Liu Ting. Chen Qiuhe held the Want Want milk and chuckled foolishly.

"By the way, Deng Yi," Chen Qiuhe suddenly said.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"So, Li Mu Bai asked him if he wanted to dance too?"

"I'll look into this this afternoon."

"If there's someone who doesn't need to dance, or doesn't have many movements, could we arrange that for him?" Chen Qiuhe finally had a change of heart.

"it is good."

"Oh~ I feel sorry for your dear deskmate."

Liu Ting emphasized the words "deskmate".

"Don't talk nonsense, this is what Li Mubai requested himself."

...Xie Shu gently put on her headphones and closed her eyes.
