We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

"Just a heads up, during our class meeting later, we'll go to the Hanfu club in groups to choose our favorite Hanfu. Please remember that these Hanfu are all borrowed, and you'll have to pay for any damage or dirt. Please take good care of them."

"The class meeting is about to start," Deng Yi said, standing on the podium.

The Hanfu club is very wealthy and has so many sets of Hanfu that it fulfilled the Hanfu dreams of the entire class.

However, some people bring their own Hanfu.

"Haha, I want to be the emperor!" Chen Qiuhe was grinning foolishly.

"Someone like you, if you became emperor, you probably wouldn't survive a single episode," Li Mubai commented.

"How dare you be dissatisfied with the emperor! I wear Hanfu precisely so that I may become emperor. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. Anyone who dares to point out my faults to my face will have their entire family executed. Anyone who secretly reports or advises me will be executed. Anyone who slanders or criticizes me in the marketplace or court will be forced to commit suicide."

…Sometimes he had to admire Chen Qiuhe's imagination and memory. If she put that kind of energy into her studies, why would she have to worry about her grades?

When it was Li Mubai's turn, it was already one of the later groups. Xie Shu didn't come; she must have brought her own. I wonder what she'll wear.

The Hanfu club mainly sells women's clothing, with very few men's clothing. Some of the men's clothing is quite ornate and flamboyant. After much deliberation, Li Mubai finally chose a beige Tang-style round-necked robe.

He folded his Hanfu and put it in his schoolbag. After returning to the classroom and sitting down, Chen Qiuhe immediately came up to him and asked:

"What did you choose? It's not a prison uniform, is it?"

"you guess."

"I know, I know," Zhang Chun, sitting in the row behind Li Mubai, whispered.

"Oh, is it a prison uniform?"

No, guess.

"How dare you play me!"

"whee."

"By the way, Chen Qiuhe, when are you taking me to that place?" Li Mubai asked.

"What's the rush? I'll take you on Wednesday."

"it is good."

He brought cat food and cat treats this week; I wonder if they'll be of any use.

"Where are you going? Can I come along?" Zhang Chun wanted to join in the fun.

"Are you going to the disciplinary office?" Chen Qiuhe asked casually, making it up.

"No, no, you guys go ahead."

……

Evening self-study sessions were still required for practice, and Deng Yi asked all the students performing to bring their own Hanfu (traditional Han clothing).

"Let's go to the changing room and change into our own Hanfu first."

"Hmm—what about the boy?" Zhang Qian asked.

"Boys can change here, nobody's watching."

…Damn it, we boys have a sense of shame too.

After the girls left, Li Mubai and Wang Rui began to change into their Hanfu. They didn't need to take off their clothes; they just wore a short-sleeved shirt underneath, put on a robe, tied their belts, and put on wristbands, and that was it.

His round-necked robe was plain on the outside, but the inner layer of the collar was embroidered with patterns. However, Li Mubai obediently tied the collar closed, so the inner layer was not exposed.

Wang Rui's was much more ornate than his, but Wang Rui wasn't really suited to Hanfu.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I think I look alright. I don't look like a eunuch, except my hair isn't as long as it was in ancient times.

The girls gradually changed and came back, first checking their upper bodies in the mirror, then secretly glancing at the two boys who were the only ones left.

"Oh my, Li Bai has traveled through time! Come and see a shot."

Chen Qiuhe did not change into Hanfu; she was not participating in the performance and only changed into it on the day of the sports meet.

Li Mubai turned his head away in the opposite direction.

"Click!" Chen Qiuhe still took a picture of him.

"Don't film me, film other people."

"Hehe, how can that be? You're so pretty, let me take a few more pictures to keep you as a memory."

"Not handsome, just an average-looking person."

"Wow!" The other girls suddenly exclaimed.

"You look great in that outfit, class monitor!"

"Yes, yes, Juejuezi!"

Li Mubai looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xie Shu walking into the dance studio wearing a light blue and white Ming-style Hanfu. Her light blue outer garment was embroidered with several plum blossoms, and her white inner garment had a gold pendant on the collar.

Xie Shu's gaze shifted unnaturally, making him incredibly captivating.

Chen Qiuhe had already taken her camera and gone over to take pictures, and no one noticed Li Mubai's unusual behavior.

The dance studio instantly turned into a fan meeting, with all the girls rushing to take photos with Xie Shu.

"Alright, alright, we didn't do our hair this time. There will be even better hair on Wednesday. Let's practice first," Deng Yi said.

After she finished speaking, she asked, "Where are Li Mubai and Wang Rui?"

"Here I am."

As the crowd dispersed, Li Mubai glanced at Xie Shu subconsciously. She was also looking at him. As if electrocuted, he immediately looked away.

"Hmm—Li Mubai, your outfit is quite simple, but it suits you perfectly and gives you a youthful look."

What do you mean by "exuding a youthful vibe"? I am a youth myself, and isn't this a practice session? How did it turn into a Hanfu fashion show?

After saying that, Deng Yi continued, "It would be even better if your hair were a little longer. I'll go to the Hanfu club tomorrow to borrow a wig for you."

The Hanfu community has everything.

"No need for that, thank you," Li Mubai declined.

"It's okay. Just make sure you look good so you can match Xie Shu," Chen Qiuhe said.

...If Chen Qiuhe can speak, then say more.

The air fell silent, and Li Mubai felt a little awkward.

"Uh—yes, as backup dancers, they need to look good." Deng Yi tried to smooth things over.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

After finishing their practice, Li Mubai and Wang Rui went straight back to their dorm room. Zhao Feng was sitting in his seat with his power bank, lost in thought.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, since you don't have a phone, why don't you lend me your power bank?" Yang Kun said.

"Get lost, this is my beloved machine's last memento."

"Out with the old, in with the new; Wu Changguo wants you to get a new phone."

"What about the old one?"

"The old one is for rent..." (GG space for rent)

"Wu Changguo probably won't be coming tonight," he asked Chen Qiuhe. "The girls' dormitory was also raided last night, but it was the female teachers."

Li Mubai turned on his phone, and it immediately started vibrating. Surprisingly, no one had ever sent him a QQ message before, not even during a whole winter or summer vacation.

"Your initial ripples are being frozen and are about to be extinguished completely. Exchanging just one message with your partner can keep it alive."

Yan Shu: "Spark." (Time: 23:36 yesterday)

"Your initial ripples have died down."

I didn't chat with Yanshu yesterday. I was planning to ask her about the half-month research project last night, but Wu Changguo interrupted me, so I didn't dare to chat.

Li Bubai: "Has the research topic been completed in half a month?"

Yan Shu: "Not yet, the spark has gone out."

Li Bubai: "So what if it goes out?"

Isn't that too heartless? As expected, Yan Shu didn't reply.

Li Bubai: "I was caught off guard by my homeroom teacher last night, so I don't dare to use my phone."

Yan Shu: "Okay, I understand."

Li Bubai: "We can continue chatting for three more days to recover."

Yan Shu: "Okay."

Li Mubai didn't value daily chatting much, as Qin Shaoyou once wrote: "If love between two people is meant to last, why should they be together every day and night?"

Yan Shu: "[jpg.]"

Yan Shu posted a photo that only showed the title page of "Detailed Annotations on Du Fu's Poems".

Li Bubai: "You're quick to act."

Yan Shu: "What kind of book is yours?"

Li Bubai: "Traditional Chinese version." (The traditional Chinese version is green.)

Yan Shu: "Oh, I'm going to read now. Goodnight."

After saying goodbye to Yan Shu, Li Mubai switched to another chat interface.

Chen Qiuhe sent him more than a dozen pictures, some of his and some of Xie Shu's. In one of them, she had stitched together photos of the two of them...

Li Bubai: "You're invincible."
