Chapter 3: Did I Scare You?

Meanwhile, far away in dormitory building number 10, Jin Zhuo also opened his suitcase. A sweet fragrance hit him, and he saw neatly arranged girls’ clothes.

Especially those few pieces of milky white lace underwear in the mesh bag were particularly eye-catching.

“Damn…”

Two seconds later, he closed the suitcase and laughed angrily, “Xie Chi brought me back a girl’s suitcase.”

Pei Lanhe had just washed his face and came out, his silver hair shining under the sun, “Huh?”

Jin Zhuo slowly stood up, casually pulled a chair and sat down, his long legs slightly bent, his eyelids drooping as he called Xie Chi.

The other side answered almost instantly, surrounded by noise, “Zhuo Zhuo, why are you calling me? Miss me?”

Jin Zhuo snorted, his gaze lightly falling on the suitcase next to him, “That’s what, this suitcase isn’t mine.”

“Not yours? Whose is it? Could it be mine?”

Jin Zhuo suppressed the urge to scold him and chuckled ambiguously, faintly spitting out a few words, “What do you think?”

Xie Chi scratched his brow, pondering the subtext in his words.

Three seconds later, he suddenly realized, slapped his forehead, “Oh—could it be that you bumped into the freshman girl just now and got your suitcases mixed up?”

Both suitcases were black and the same size.

“Where does she live?”

Jin Zhuo didn’t bother with him, there were many things to do on the first day of freshman orientation, like organizing dormitory supplies.

This suitcase contained all the little girl’s change of clothes, if she couldn’t find the suitcase, she would definitely be worried.

Xie Chi flipped through the registration form in his hand, “Building 12, 4th floor.”

“Hmm.”

Jin Zhuo hung up the phone, picked up his baseball cap and put it on, “I’m going to return the suitcase, we’ll meet at the central cafeteria for lunch.”

Pei Lanhe gave an “OK” gesture.

He glanced at the scorching sun, it was rare for Jin Zhuo to be willing to go out on such a hot day.

It was really strange.

•  

Jin Zhuo dragged the suitcase along the road, his tall figure, simple black shirt and black pants, a matching black baseball cap revealing a section of his jawline, above that were deep eyes hidden in the shadows, below that was a sexy protruding Adam’s apple, making people fantasize.

Freshmen all quietly followed him, intentionally or unintentionally looking at him.

With more people following, Jin Zhuo got annoyed.

He crushed the mint candy in his mouth, lazily lifting his eyelids, “It’s the first day of school, aren’t you busy?”

The freshmen who were close by flinched, then timidly shook their heads.

“Really?”

Jin Zhuo chuckled softly, unhurriedly said, “Have you finished unpacking? Did you get your phone card? Did you get your water card? Did you fill out the club recruitment form?”

Before the freshmen could react, he dragged the suitcase and left.

…

At the entrance of Building 12, Jin Zhuo first went to the vending machine to get a bottle of ice-cold Coke, feeling the coolness climb up his palm.

He turned around and just happened to meet the girl who was about to enter the dormitory building, “Wait.”

Yang Dai stopped, meeting Jin Zhuo’s eyes, her ears instantly flushed.

She was in the same year as Jin Zhuo, she knew how popular and sought-after he was.

“Classmate, which floor do you live on?”

Yang Dai lowered her eyes and murmured, “Fourth floor.”

“That’s perfect,” Jin Zhuo found a comfortable spot to lean against the stone pillar at the entrance, his tone also lazy, “Can you help me find a freshman on the fourth floor? Her name is… Qin Yingxia.”

The name was quite interesting too.

It sounded like “kiss me.”

Before Yang Dai could speak, Qin Yingxia came out dragging her suitcase.

She had already posted on the All-Purpose Wall in the dormitory, asking where Jin Zhuo lived.

At Imperial University, any information about Jin Zhuo was almost answered instantly.

［1st Floor: I know! Building 10!!］

［2nd Floor: Building 10, but bro, what do you want to find Jin Zhuo for?］

［3rd Floor: This is the first time I’ve seen someone so openly ask where Jin Zhuo lives, usually they post on the White Wall, did you post in the wrong place?］

［4th Floor: One word, awesome! Are you a freshman, bro?］

［5th Floor: Don’t be too outrageous, can’t the poster have something legitimate to find Zhuo Ge for?］

［6th Floor: Is there anything more legitimate than hitting on Jin Zhuo?］

［7th Floor: The upstairs is so brave! This is what I like to hear!］

Xie Chi took the time to give a thumbs up to the 6th floor comment.

［……］

There were a bunch of curious babies under the comment section.

Qin Yingxia didn’t reply to anyone, after learning that Jin Zhuo lived in Building 10, she dragged her suitcase downstairs.

Before going out, she deliberately checked her appearance, and only after making sure there was nothing wrong did she confidently go downstairs.

She didn’t wear a mask, and just like that, she walked into Jin Zhuo’s field of vision with her beauty.

Yang Dai was stunned first, she had never seen such a beautiful girl in real life…

She knew this was Qin Yingxia, her new roommate.

Xu Siwan had specially sent Yang Dai a message before going out, saying that a celestial being had come to the dormitory, beautiful beyond compare, and sent several photos of Qin Yingxia.

She was indeed a beauty, beautiful enough to make people reluctant to look away.

As a girl herself, Yang Dai was captivated by Qin Yingxia’s beauty, she turned to look at Jin Zhuo who was leaning against the side, he didn’t seem to have a particularly strong reaction, still looking weary.

For some reason, Yang Dai felt a little bit of joy in her heart.

Qin Yingxia pushed the suitcase over, awkwardly called out, “…Jin Senior.”

She didn’t dare to look into his eyes for too long, lowering her eyes to stare at her toes.

The distance between them was so close, if she took one more step forward, she would reach his toes.

Logically, she should have left after getting her suitcase, but she… wanted to stay with Jin Zhuo a little longer.

Even if it was just one more minute.

Fortunately, Jin Zhuo didn’t seem to be in a hurry to leave.

He slightly tilted his head, his gaze falling on the girl’s snow-white neck, and then his eyes moved slightly, attracted by those red ears.

The little girl seemed to be quite timid, just the time it took to exchange suitcases, her ears turned red like this.

He raised his hand, brought the ice Coke in his hand close to Qin Yingxia’s ear, the cool air touched her earlobe, she raised her head, her glass-like eyes were misty.

“…Did I scare you?” Jin Zhuo looked down at Qin Yingxia’s reaction, a chuckle escaping his chest.

Her reaction was like a startled deer in the forest.

Knowing she was afraid, she didn’t hide, just blinked her wet eyes at him.

Jin Zhuo’s brow curved slightly, suddenly thinking of a roe deer, the kind that was a bit silly…
