I'll calm down before I go.

Chen Xiao sat for a while, then went to other dorms to look around.

These guys were either playing games, watching videos, or flirting with girls.

After making a round, he found Ma Yijia was still there.

Chen Xiao was speechless; it was the weekend, no room checks, so Ma Yijia staying overnight was a real possibility.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and sent Liu Xin a message, telling him that Xiao Ji had a girl in the dorm and to handle it himself; if he wasn't embarrassed, he could go back.

He then called Li Wenli, who had just finished tidying up and breathlessly said she was treating her dorm besties to dinner tonight.

Chen Xiao reluctantly called Sun Ying, but no one answered, and a message came back shortly after.

“Eating out, will be back later.”

Chen Xiao: “...”

The girls around him were actually not enough?

He casually scrolled through his phone and suddenly stopped at Xia Yudie's name.

Thinking of the way she looked at him, Chen Xiao felt incredibly pleased.

No matter how impressive a man was, he couldn't be immune to a woman's adoration, especially from a beauty.

Chen Xiao was no exception.

He dialed the phone.

“Wow! Chen Xiao, you finally called me!”

On the other end of the line, there were still some chattering voices.

“Oh my god, little fairy, are you waiting for a man's call?”

“Mom, I'm heartbroken, my fairy is flirting with a stinky man...”

“Yu Die, a beautiful girl like you should stay single forever!!!”

Xia Yudie was speechless, “You guys, go away!”

Then there was a rustle, she moved to a quiet spot and said, “Chen Xiao, did you call to ask me out?”

“Uh... if you have time...”

“I have time, where should we meet?”

“Campus Commercial Street, in front of the juice shop.”

“Okay, see you later, mwah mwah.”

Chen Xiao: “...”

Campus Commercial Street was the only commercial street within Jinning University.

When there were no classes or on weekends, it was extremely lively.

The original milk tea shop's business was very good, while the freshly squeezed juice shop was relatively quiet.

Because freshly squeezed juice was quite expensive, each cup cost more than ten yuan.

Compared to milk tea, which usually cost three or four yuan a cup, it had no competitiveness.

Don't talk about health with young people; health is a stumbling block on their path to success... because they are young, they can act recklessly.

Betel nut and cigarettes, barbecue with alcohol, staying up all night, watching countless videos.

These were all common occurrences at this age.

Soon, Xia Yudie, wearing a white lace-trimmed dress, walked from a distance.

Along the way, she attracted countless gazes from both boys and girls.

But she kept her eyes straight ahead, seeing only the boy in front of the freshly squeezed juice shop, who occupied her entire world.

“Hehe, Chen Xiao, what do you like to drink? I'll treat you.”

Chen Xiao looked at the heartbroken guys around them and said, “How about I treat you? What do you want to drink?”

Xia Yudie slapped the counter, “I want Pink Love, full sugar with ice!”

Chen Xiao smiled slightly.

Full sugar with ice, just like Xia Yudie's personality.

She was incredibly sweet to the people she liked, almost cloying.

To those she didn't care for, she was cold and arrogant.

The two of them walked hand in hand with their juices, strolling through the campus.

They each shared some fun stories.

But it was still midsummer, and after finishing the cold juice, the heat wave invading their bodies made them feel very uncomfortable.

Xia Yudie looked up at the swimming pool, then sized up Chen Xiao's physique.

“Chen Xiao, shall we go for a swim?”

Chen Xiao was startled, “Huh? Sw-swimming?”

“Yes, the weather is too hot, it's perfect for swimming.”

Chen Xiao looked at the university's national-level swimming pool; he had barely been there in his previous life, what a waste.

“Alright, let's go swimming then.”

The two didn't go back to get their swimsuits, but bought new ones directly at the entrance of the swimming pool.

Then they went to change separately.

Chen Xiao was simply dressed; he changed into his swim trunks, grabbed his swim cap and goggles, and went in first.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, he saw Xia Yudie come in, hugging her arms, like a thief.

As soon as she entered, all the boys in the venue instantly focused their gaze on her.

Xia Yudie's petite figure was delicate and lovely; she had everything she should, and quite substantial, with skin as fair as snow and an exquisite, aloof face.

She was the other extreme opposite of sexy, equally eye-catching in the swimming pool.

Her appearance instantly aroused the boys' protective instincts.

When Xia Yudie saw Chen Xiao, she walked straight towards him.

A blush floated on her cute cheeks.

Chen Xiao: “...”

“You've never been to a swimming pool before?”

Xia Yudie quickly hid in front of Chen Xiao, blocking the blatant gazes of the large group of people in front.

“I, I haven't.”

Chen Xiao was speechless, “Then can you swim?”

Xia Yudie shook her head, her pure big eyes wide, “I can't.”

Chen Xiao: “...”

If you can't, why are you clamoring to come to the swimming pool? Are you here to swim?

Xia Yudie said, blushing, “I can't, but can't you? You teach me!”

Chen Xiao sighed, “Alright, let's go down.”

“No, you carry me, I'm scared...”

Chen Xiao felt a wave of awkwardness, “Cough... so many people are watching...”

“Then, then you go down first and catch me, I'm afraid I'll drown.”

Chen Xiao wanted to spit blood; was this girl coming to swim with a death wish?

“Okay.”

Chen Xiao jumped into the pool first, spread his arms, and said, “Come on, don't be afraid.”

Only then did Xia Yudie sit on the edge of the pool and slowly step down.

She was particularly afraid of water, her small face flustered, biting her lip tightly.

As soon as she got down, she immediately pounced into Chen Xiao's arms, clinging to him like an octopus.

Chen Xiao: “...”

The surrounding guys collectively slapped their foreheads, unable to bear this public display of affection, and walked away grumbling.

Both of them were in swimsuits, and Chen Xiao instantly felt a surge of heat, which he couldn't suppress... “You, you come down...”

Xia Yudie held Chen Xiao's neck and shook her head vigorously, “No, I won't come down, I'm afraid I'll drown...”

“But, but like this, how can you swim?”

“You carry me and swim.”

Chen Xiao moved towards the edge of the pool, turning his face to the wall to hide his embarrassment.

He thought to himself, what kind of swimming is this? If someone sees this, he'll have to transfer schools.

“You're suffocating me, I can't breathe!”

Xia Yudie was startled, she loosened her grip on his neck slightly, giving Chen Xiao a little room to breathe.

“Oh, right, I'm sorry.”

If Chen Xiao hadn't been so stifled, he wouldn't have pulled away from that soft embrace.

“Cough cough, it's alright, slowly come down, don't be nervous, I won't let you drown.”

Chen Xiao comforted her for a while longer before Xia Yudie slowly relaxed and slid down from Chen Xiao.

“Huh? I think I scraped something.”

Chen Xiao: “...”

“No, you didn't scrape anything!”

Xia Yudie suddenly thought of something, and her face instantly turned bright red.

“Ch-Chen Xiao, are you alright?”

Chen Xiao: “...”

“I, I'm not so good, I can't turn around.”

“Then how about... we leave...”

“You go up first, I'll calm down and then leave.”

Xia Yudie: “...”
