11: Chapter 11 You Look Like a Certain Celebrity
After returning to the living room, Su Bai sat down on the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief.
The scene just now was too sudden; even for someone like him who had experienced many storms, it was hard to avoid a racing heart.
He poured a glass of water and drank it slowly, trying to calm himself down.
After finishing the water, Su Bai returned to his room.
Closing the door, he leaned against the door panel, the images from just a moment ago involuntarily surfacing in his mind.
He shook his head, driving these images out of his mind.
Otherwise, there would be no chance of getting a good night's sleep tonight.
The vitality of an eighteen-year-old male is truly terrifying!
At six in the morning, the alarm went off right on time.
Su Bai opened his eyes.
He got up, did some stretching exercises, put on his sportswear, and went out for a morning run.
Going commando felt a bit chilly.
Starting from the residential complex, he followed the path in the riverside park, passed through two blocks, and then circled back.
The morning air carried the freshness of dew, and there weren't many people running; most were elderly people doing their morning exercises.
Su Bai controlled his breathing and pace, but his thoughts were racing.
The body of an adolescent boy inevitably experiences palpitations, and the morning chill was just the thing to soothe his heated flesh.
After his run, he went to a breakfast shop and bought five portions of breakfast.
Returning to the apartment, after opening the door, he skillfully dialed Luo Ying's phone number; this time, it rang for longer.
"Hello..."
The voice was heavy with sleepiness and a hint of impatience,
"Xiao Bai... it's only... 6:50!"
"Big sister, I want to go to your place to take a shower." Su Bai's voice was calm.
A sigh came from the other end of the line, followed by rustling sounds.
"Mm... got it..."
About two minutes later, the door opened.
Luo Ying was wearing pink bear pajamas, her hair was a mess, and her eyes were half-open and half-closed.
She leaned against the doorframe like a sleepy puppy that had been forcibly awakened from its slumber by its owner, looking lazy and helpless.
"How do you get up so early every day..." she mumbled, her voice soft and sweet.
"I'm used to it."
Su Bai handed her the breakfast,
"You eat first, I'm going to your room to shower."
Luo Ying took the breakfast in a daze, and before she could fully react, Su Bai had already walked into her room, familiar with the layout, and closed the bathroom door.
"Hey..."
Luo Ying stood at the door, looking at the closed bathroom door, then at the breakfast in her hand, and finally sighed,
"Sigh, whatever..."
She put the breakfast on the dining table, then slumped onto the sofa, hugging a cushion to continue dozing off.
In the bathroom, Su Bai stood under the shower head, the warm water washing over his body.
Whoever invented showers, they really knew what they were doing; it felt so good.
After a quick shower, Su Bai put on his new school uniform.
Looking at the handsome boy in the mirror, Su Bai was very satisfied.
Isn't this more handsome than those male celebrities?
Not only that, he also had money!
With these conditions, finding a few more wives shouldn't be a problem, right?
Finished getting ready.
When he walked out of the bathroom, Luo Ying had already fallen asleep on the sofa, her little mouth slightly open, emitting soft breathing sounds.
Su Bai didn't wake her up; he finished his breakfast and tiptoed out the door.
The morning subway was a bit crowded, with students packed into the carriages in twos and threes.
Su Bai found a corner to stand in and put on his headphones to listen to English listening exercises.
This was his way of maintaining his foreign language skills; although he could already speak multiple languages fluently in his previous life, language skills would get rusty if not used.
At 7:15, he arrived at the school gate.
There were already quite a few students at the school gate, with blue and white uniforms forming a sea.
"Su Bai." A cold, clear voice came from behind him.
He turned around and saw Li Longyu standing not far away, standing out from the crowd, visible at a glance.
Today, she had tied her ponytail a bit higher, revealing her fair neck, like a proud swan.
Her school uniform was worn meticulously, and her schoolbag was carried properly on her shoulder.
"Morning." Su Bai nodded.
"Morning."
Li Longyu walked to his side and expressionlessly took an envelope out of her schoolbag.
"Your student ID. Teacher Song asked me to bring it to you; she forgot yesterday."
"Thanks."
Su Bai took it, casually stuffed it into his pocket, and invited her,
"Going to the classroom? Let's go together."
Li Longyu nodded almost imperceptibly and set off first with her long legs.
The two walked into the campus side by side, once again attracting countless sideways glances.
The scene from yesterday played out once again.
"Isn't that Li Longyu? She's actually walking with a boy?"
"Who is that boy?"
"Don't know, never seen him before."
"..."
Whispers rose and fell, but both of them turned a deaf ear to them.
Both were used to being the center of attention and didn't care at all.
After arriving at the classroom, the class monitor, Mu Qing, walked over, swaying her plump, curvaceous hips, and greeted him with a smile,
"Student Su, good morning."
"Um, you look very handsome in your school uniform."
Su Bai raised an eyebrow.
This "Western-style" class monitor... seemed a bit restless.
He smiled and said,
"Thanks, the class monitor is also very pretty, like a certain celebrity."
Mu Qing became interested and asked with great interest,
"Oh? Really? Which celebrity?"
Su Bai paused and said,
"You probably don't know her, her name is... Melody."
[PS: I had Teacher Mei debut a few years early here; in reality, she should have debuted around 2018.]
Mu Qing was full of confusion,
"This name... is she a foreigner? How come I've never heard of her?"
Su Bai coughed dryly,
"Mm, she is indeed quite niche."
Mu Qing nodded thoughtfully and smiled,
"I'll make a note of it and search for her online when I get home to see if your taste is accurate."
"Ah?!"
"Search online?!"
"You really shouldn't search for that!"
"Besides... you need certain resources to be able to find Melody's works."
Su Bai rubbed his nose unnaturally,
"You don't really have to search for her; she's just a minor celebrity..."
Mu Qing gave a light huff,
"You don't want me to search? Now I'm even more curious."
"Su Bai: I'm screwed!"
