Chapter 2: The Wrong Suitcase

“What are you looking at?”

Pei Lanhe, standing beside Jin Zhuo, lifted the brim of his duckbill cap and looked in the direction Jin Zhuo was gazing. He only caught a glimpse of a moon-white skirt.

“Peeking at a little girl?”

Jin Zhuo chuckled, his tone teasing, “Are you jealous?”

Pei Lanhe laughed and scolded, “Brother Zhuo, you’re being a flirt again.”

“Hey hey hey, you two big shots, stop standing around and affecting the new students’ registration. Look at those little sisters, their eyes are practically glued to you!” Jiang Yinghuai unceremoniously pushed them aside, “Brother Zhuo, Lanhe, either stay and help, or…”

Jin Zhuo chuckled and interrupted, “I’m tired.”

While everyone else was lounging around during summer break, he was busy participating in various competitions, winning awards until his hands were sore.

He had just flown back from the capital, and he was still feeling sleepy.

Pei Lanhe agreed, “…Sleepiness is contagious, I’m tired too.”

Jiang Yinghuai: …

Xie Chi returned to the auditorium after escorting Qin Yingxia, “That little sister is quite socially anxious, she wouldn’t even say a few words.”

Jin Zhuo glanced at him lightly, not interested in engaging, “Suitcase, bring it here.”

•  

Leaving the auditorium, Qin Yingxia finally found some peace.

She calmed her racing heart and took a large gulp of chilled bottled water.

Close call.

Although she was wearing a mask, she was afraid that her secret crush would still be evident in her eyes.

Jin Zhuo was so intelligent, he would definitely notice.

The girl’s face was flushed red.

She took out a wet wipe from her bag and wiped her face, then put her mask back on and headed towards the dormitory building.

The dormitory building for the School of Communication was building number 12, and Qin Yingxia’s room was on the fourth floor.

She stood at the dormitory door, realizing that she could carry such a heavy suitcase up four flights of stairs without breaking a sweat?

She didn’t believe it, so she lifted the suitcase and weighed it. It seemed to be lighter.

Before Qin Yingxia could think further, the dormitory door opened from inside.

“Ah! Is the freshman here?” Xu Siwan was about to go downstairs to the auditorium to help.

Xie Chi had just sent a message to the group chat, asking all the student council members to go to the auditorium to help welcome new students.

Xie Chi was the president of the student council, and she was a member, so as soon as the president gave the order, she had to go and work diligently.

Qin Yingxia stood at the door, her eyes blank, she looked up at the dormitory number, it was indeed 420.

Xu Siwan saw her confused expression and felt a strange sense of sympathy, “Freshman, I’m your roommate, Xu Siwan.”

The school’s dormitories were randomly assigned, and when Qin Yingxia was assigned, there were no other dormitories for her year.

Coincidentally, Xu Siwan and Yang Dai’s dormitory had two empty beds, so they were assigned to Qin Yingxia and another freshman.

“Ah,” Qin Yingxia finally understood, she smiled at Xu Siwan, then realized that wearing a mask was a bit impolite, so she took it off, “Senior, hello.”

The lights in the corridor fell on the girl’s face, her nose was high, there was a small mole on the right side of her nose, her skin was extremely white, almost translucent.

Her eyes were clear and captivating, her figure was slender, and her slender, straight legs were hidden beneath the moon-white skirt.

A beautiful woman with a white moonlight vibe.

“My god, a celestial being descended to earth!” Xu Siwan’s eyes were glued to her, unable to move, “You’re not my sister, you’re a fairy!”

Qin Yingxia slowly ‘ah’ed, she had been praised for her beauty countless times since she was a child.

“Come in, come in!”

Xu Siwan had never seen such a beautiful person, she had no time to deal with Xie Chi, she immediately sent him a voice message, “Sorry, brother, I’m going to skip work.”

She threw her phone away after sending the message, focusing all her attention on Qin Yingxia, “What’s your name, baby?”

“Qin Yingxia.” The girl looked very well-behaved, she was a little embarrassed to be called ‘baby’ on her first day.

Although her fans on the internet often called her that, the internet and reality were ultimately different.

Xu Siwan read her name, “Baby, you look familiar, you look a lot like that blogger on Douyin called ‘Youxia’!”

She looked around for her phone to show Qin Yingxia the photo, “Hey, where’s my phone? I just threw it somewhere?”

Qin Yingxia gently tugged on her sleeve, her voice soft, “Senior, is there a possibility that… that person is… me?”

Xu Siwan: “Oh my god, it’s the big blogger!”

“Baby, you’re amazing! You chose our major, it’s perfect! It’s a perfect match for your major!”

“Hey, I was only transferred to the network and new media major, I had to learn PR, PS, and even go out to shoot movies and documentaries, it was so tiring!”

“…”

Xu Siwan completely opened up and started complaining to Qin Yingxia about the network and new media major.

“But on the other hand, the biggest advantage of this major is… no calculus, haha…”

“Just thinking about other majors having to take calculus makes me want to laugh.”

College students, after taking calculus a few times, they become honest.

She was just about to get into the swing of things when Xie Chi’s call came in.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry, you just can’t stand to see me slacking off!”

Xu Siwan didn’t answer his call, “Then you go and rest, my treasure, I’m going to the auditorium.”

“Okay…” Qin Yingxia handed her the parasol, “It’s sunny outside, use this to block the sun.”

“Xiao Xia, you’re so sweet to me~” Xu Siwan was completely warmed by this little girl.

…

The dormitory returned to quiet, Qin Yingxia slowly began to unpack.

The moment she opened the suitcase, she was stunned.

Be！cause！this！was！not！her！suit！case！

“My… suitcase?”

She suddenly remembered being bumped into in the auditorium and her suitcase falling. Could it be that she took someone else’s suitcase in a hurry?

Oh my god—

Qin Yingxia covered her face, feeling a little embarrassed to be rummaging through someone else’s suitcase.

She prayed that she would find something like a student ID.

She glanced at the few red award certificates.

That would be easy.

She randomly picked one up and opened it, finding that the winner’s name was… Jin Zhuo.

So, this suitcase belonged to Jin Zhuo!

“Congratulations to Jin Zhuo for winning the Best Debater Award in the International Commercial Arbitration Moot Court Competition…”

This was a competition where contestants simulated arbitration cases, playing the roles of applicant and respondent, participating in all aspects of the arbitration court hearing, including the debate.

It was a test of law students’ ability to apply legal knowledge and their ability to think on their feet.

“So amazing, Jin Zhuo…”

Qin Yingxia smiled, her lips slightly parted, revealing two small dimples, looking youthful and playful.

Her eyes were gentle, her warm fingertips brushed against the photo on the certificate.

Jin Zhuo also had a small mole on the left side of his nose.

They even had the same mole…

The more Qin Yingxia thought about it, the sweeter her heart felt, she reached for her phone and couldn’t help but take a picture of Jin Zhuo and save it in her photo album.

Maybe one day they wouldn’t see each other again, but she could still look at these photos and remember the sunshine she had met in her youth…
