Hearing those words from Chu Tian, the female studentâs expression froze in an instant.
It was only now that she realized what was going on.
It was her. She was the one overthinking things.
She thought that she encountered the plot of those pure-hearted campus love stories. She thought that she had, by offering her bottle of water, encountered a pure-hearted campus romance.
Never did she imagine that⌠the âhave dinner togetherâ mentioned by Chu Tian earlier was not spoken to her. He was not trying to take her out on a date.
He had simply mistaken her to be a friend of his deskmate.
In an instant, the atmosphere became extremely awkward. But, that female student soon managed to regain composure. She immediately smiled, âOh, thereâs no need for that. Itâs only a bottle of water. I merely offered it because I saw that youâre quite good with basketball. Well, Iâll be going on. You all enjoy yourselves, bye.â
âHey, schoolmateâŚâ
Seeing how that girl began to hurriedly leave after saying those words, Chu Tian couldnât help but look to Yang Rong, âDamn. If sheâs not with the two of you, why didnât you tell me about it earlier. I even drank her bottled water.â
âPfff. HahahaâŚâ
Unable to contain themselves anymore, Yang Rong and Bai Xiaochun burst into loud laughter.
Yang Rong laughed, âDeskmate, youâre simply too much of a dunce. Was there really a need for you to be that direct? Look how much of an embarrassment you made it to be.â

âIf you knew that would happen, why didnât you warn me earlier?â
âIâm talking about that girl,â said Yang Rong, âShe thought that youâre planning to take her on a date.â
âAh? Date?â
âMmhmm, yep,â Bai Xiaochun also laughed, âWhile you were on the court, she has been standing beside us and fixing her hair, her clothes and her makeup the entire time. She looked like she was totally looking forward to the evening date with you. Who wouldâve expected⌠even I am feeling sorry for her.â
âEhâŚâ Chu Tian looked to the back view of that girl and smiled, âSigh, itâs only a misunderstanding. I thought the three of you were together. I ended up drinking her bottled water. Well, let go and eat together tonight.â
âSure,â Yang Rong said, âOh, deskmate, maybe we should just go to your place. Itâs been this long and Iâve never been to your place yet. Thereâs not really any place nearby with delicious food. Itâs better that we purchase some stuff at the supermarket and cook our own food.â
âThatâs no problem with me,â said Chu Tian, âMy place happened to have a kitchen. We can cook and eat at my place.â
âLil Chun, are you coming?â Yang Rong looked to Bai Xiaochun.
âYeah, Iâm fine with it too,â Bai Xiaochun smiled, âMy cooking skills are quite good. I can have you two taste my skills.â
âŚâŚ
6:30PM!
The three left the campus and went to the supermarket. They purchased some pork chops, a fish and some greens. Then, Chu Tian began to guide them toward his rental apartment.
Chu Tian placed the stuff they purchased onto the coffee table in the living room, âThis building is quite old. Itâs not the best. Just put up with this place.â

âYouâre exaggerating,â Bai Xiaochun began checking out Chu Tianâs place, âThis place is much better than the school dorms. Our dorm is packed with people and many people share a single room. Thus, everywhere is packed with studentsâ stuff. Thereâs no personal space to be said. At the very least, you have two bedrooms here and a sufficient amount of space on top of that. This place is very comfortable compared to our dorm.â
âThatâs right,â Yang Rong added, âWhile the building might be old, itâs much more comfortable than our dorm. Sigh, youâre making me want to live off campus too.â
âWell, I guess thatâs the case then,â Smiling, Chu Tian took out the fruits Li Sisi brought over at noon from the fridge, âEat some fruit first. Iâll have to take a shower and change some clothes. Iâve sweated too much today. You two can do whatever you want, donât be too courteous with my place.â
âHeh. You donât have to worry about that, your deskmate here will not be too courteous with you. Go ahead and take your shower.â
âOkay, Iâll go shower then.â
After seeing Chu Tian entering the washroom with a change of clothes, Bai Xiaochun suddenly walked over to Yang Rong, âHey, Rongrong, did you smell that? It smells like perfume.â
Perfume?
Yang Rong pushed her nose forward and smelled. She frowned, âReally? My deskmate doesn't use perfume.â
âReally. Itâs not the kind of perfume that men use,â Bai Xiaochun said with certainty, âItâs a womanâs perfume. It smells pretty good too.â
[1. Perfume/cologne is literally fragrant water in chinese. So yeah, not much of a distinction in gender. And, tbh, perfume is just a stronger version of cologne.]
Womanâs perfume?
Yang Rong suddenly smirked, âYouâre kidding. Youâre saying my deskmate is hiding a woman off campus?â
As she said those words, Yang Rong walked into Chu Tianâs bedroom.

âHey! RongrongâŚâ
Bai Xiaochun took a glance at the closed washroom door. Then, she rushed after Yang Rong.
Yang Rong was at the side of the bed and sniffing it. Seeing Bai Xiaochun entering the bedroom, she revealed an expression like she had discovered the New World. Immediately, she hooked at Bai Xiaochun to signal for her to come over, âHey, Lil Chun, come smell this. It really does smell like perfume. Furthermore, itâs not only perfume Iâm smelling, thereâs also the smell of makeup. Itâs most definitely a woman.â
Bai Xiaochun immediately walked over. Sure enough, the fragrance grew stronger.
Suddenly, Yang Rong seemed to discover something. She slowly picked up two strands of permed hair over a foot long each from the pillow.
The two girls looked at each other. Yang Rong smiled, âDang! My deskmate is truly a master of disguise. Even I was deceived by him. I really thought he didn't have a girlfriend. Who wouldâve expected that theyâre already living together.â
Living together?
Bai Xiaochun took a glance at the room, âThat doesnât seem like it. If theyâre living together, why arenât there any female items here?â
Eh!
Thatâs true!
It was only after hearing that did Yang Rong discover there were no female clothes or items in the room.
This made no sense!
If Chu Tian was really living together with a girl, he wouldnât have nothing belonging to a woman in his house.
