Chapter 11: The Dance Team  

This class was Lu Yi’s core subject, and the content was profound, tedious, and difficult to understand. For Lin Zhizhi, an art student, it was as if she were listening to an incomprehensible language.  

Since she was only here to accompany Lu Yi, Lin Zhizhi glanced at the screen filled with various professional symbols before quickly losing interest. She turned her head and focused on Lu Yi instead.  

Lu Yi was listening attentively, without the slightest sign of impatience. It was clear that he was genuinely interested. From time to time, he even jotted down notes in his book.  

Lin Zhizhi stared at the serious-looking Lu Yi and found herself entranced.  

Hmm…

Lu Yi’s eyelashes were really long, his skin was flawless, and his nose was remarkably well-defined.  

Suddenly, Lin Zhizhi recalled a joke her friend had once made—boys with high-bridged noses were supposedly…  

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Lin Zhizhi’s memories flashed back to that night….

Lu Yi had indeed…  

Her face instantly flushed red. She quickly turned away, not daring to look at Lu Yi any longer.

To mask her embarrassment, she fanned herself with her hand and then pressed her palms against her warm cheeks.  

Lu Yi, who had been earnestly listening to the lecture, glanced at Lin Zhizhi. Without saying anything, he returned his attention to the lesson. However, the corners of his lips lifted slightly before he pressed them together again, restoring his usual composed expression.

After class, Lin Zhizhi and Lu Yi followed the flow of students out of the classroom.  

Lin Zhizhi could feel the gazes around them—some direct, some subtle—all focused on them, especially from the girls.  

She looked at Lu Yi, who was walking beside her.  

Hmm… As expected of the chosen one in the books, he was incredibly popular among girls. But now, Lu Yi was her boyfriend, which meant she had to assert her claim.  

“Lu Yi.” Lin Zhizhi called out. As soon as Lu Yi turned to look at her, she looped her arm through his. “Where are we going now?”  

For a brief moment, Lu Yi felt a little unnatural. He had never been this physically close to anyone before.

However, realizing that it was Lin Zhizhi, he no longer minded—after all, they had already done things far more intimate.  

“Is there anywhere you want to go? Or something you want to eat?”  

Lin Zhizhi thought for a moment. “Hmm… I want to eat something sour.”  

“Sour?” Lu Yi pondered for a moment. “Then I’ll take you to a place I went to before. The food there is pretty good.”  

“Sounds good.”

As soon as the two of them reached the bottom of the teaching building, someone called out to them.  

It was Lu Yi’s three roommates along with Song Nuan, plus a few others whom they had never met before.  

The group quickly approached them.  

As soon as Liao Hui got close, he teased them: “Are you two going on a date?”  

Li Haoming chuckled along as well.  

Lu Yi shot a cold glance at the two, who were laughing a bit too suggestively.  

They immediately straightened up, toning down their laughter.  

A boy who had been standing silently nearby finally spoke up. “Since everyone is here, it saves us the trouble of notifying you one by one. Here’s the thing—this weekend, our club is going to the orphanage to visit the kids. It’s not just our club this time; other clubs are going too, so no one can be absent.”  

“This event is hosted by the Student Council, so aside from giving gifts to the children, there will also be performances. That means the dance team is participating as well. Lin Zhizhi, the president specifically asked me to inform you. After all, you’re the most talented freshman in the Dance Major. You can’t miss this.”  

The one speaking to Lin Zhizhi was a senior from the dance team.  

This trip to the orphanage was another significant plot point.

In the book, it was during this event that Song Nuan carefully took care of the children, showcasing her love and concern for them. This moment served as the groundwork for Lu Yi eventually agreeing to let Song Nuan help take care of the children later on.  

“Alright, senior. I’ll be there.” Lin Zhizhi replied, still holding onto Lu Yi’s arm. She smiled lightly as she nodded.  

“Now that it’s all settled, how about we all head to Zhongting Restaurant for dinner? The club presidents have already booked a private room.”
