âSure. I will be waiting here,â said the driver.
Han Zhuofeng then walked with Xie Jiling inside.
They arrived at the school at 8:45 PM, so it was still early.
The weather this season was cold rather than cold.
Many couples could be seen together on campus.
Xie Jiling and Han Zhuofeng stepped into the campus and saw young couples everywhere.
Han Zhuofeng let out a sigh of relief as he said, âThank goodness I sent you back.â
âWhy?â Xie Jiling was confused.
Han Zhuofeng didnât answer right away. He held Xie Jilingâs hand before saying, âOtherwise, I wouldnât have the chance to walk around here with you.â
âWeâre just like these classmates.â Han Zhuofeng lowered his head as he stared at Xie Jiling and said, âI can hold your hand and walk around on campus as well.â
Xie Jiling thought about it and agreed that it felt good.
She wouldnât have to be jealous if she saw so many couples while she was walking here.
After all, her boyfriend was with her.
After walking for a while, Xie Jiling suddenly realized an issue. âIf you walked me back to my dormitory building, will you be fine walking by yourself? Itâs already dark.â
When Han Zhuofeng heard that, he realized something wrong.
He felt that things werenât as simple as what Xie Jiling had said.
After a few seconds, Han Zhuofeng finally had a moment of enlightenment. He immediately said, âAlthough Iâm scared of vengeful ghosts, Iâm not scared of the dark.â
Han Zhuofeng paused immediately after finishing the sentence. He asked with uncertainty, âThere isnât anything⊠weird on your campus, right?â â
âNoâŠâ Xie Jiling shook her head.
Of course, a vengeful ghost could still invade this region.
However, Xie Jiling decided not to scare Han Zhuofeng.
He had the protective jade with him, so he wouldnât have to be scared if he encountered anything.
Han Zhuofeng walked Xie Jiling to the ground floor of the dormitory building.
He couldnât go inside the girlâs dormitory building.
âIâm going back. Go back to the hotel. I know youâre happy tonight, but you should avoid drinking too much.â Xie Jiling instructed.
âAlright,â Han Zhuofeng said, If Iâm still awake by the time weâre done, Iâll send you a WeChat message. I wonât be able to message you if I get too drunk anyway.â
Considering the members of the production crew, Xie Jiling had a feeling that her instruction for Han Zhuofeng to drink less would be useless.
âBy the way, where are you going to stay today?â Xie Jiling asked.
âIâm going back to the house my brother gave me.â Han Zhuofeng said, âIâm worried that I will disturb my grandparents if I go home too late.â
Han Zhuofeng suddenly thought of something and asked, âAre you thinking about visiting me?â
âI donât have anything to do tomorrow, so I can come to visit you.â Xie Jiling didnât think much.
She had no idea what it meant to go to her boyfriendâs house by herself.
However, Han Zhuofeng wouldnât really do anything to her.
However, it didnât stop him from imagining things out of boredom.
âAlright.â Han Zhuofeng thought about it and said, âPass me your phone.â
Xie Jiling gave him her phone and saw Han Zhuofeng write down six numbers on her phoneâs notepad.
âThis is the password. If Iâm still asleep tomorrow, you can just head inside.â Han Zhuofeng said, âI will register your fingerprint tomorrow. This way, you can just scan your fingerprint when you visit again in the future.â
âAlright.â Xie Jiling nodded and said, âIâm going upstairs now.â
âAlright.â Han Zhuofeng watched as she moved farther away.
But then, Xie Jiling suddenly rushed back after she had turned away and walked a few steps toward her.
She tiptoed and quickly pecked Han Zhuofeng on the lips. She blushed as she said, âGoodnight kiss. Goodbye.â
Xie Jiling didnât wait for Han Zhuofengâs response. She seemed to be worried that he might pull her back because she quickly ran away.
Han Zhuofeng froze. He stretched his hand up and touched his lips.
He barely drank any before he came here. But why did he already feel drunk?
Han Zhuofengâs brain was blank as he made his way out of campus. He got into the taxi and was driven back to Sheng Yue.
The moment Xie Jiling stepped into her room, she saw Ren Linna and the others dashing back into the room from the balcony.
âWe all saw it!â Ren Linna showed a flirtatious expression as she proceeded to wink at Xie Jiling.
âA certain someone walked away and ran back to give someone a kiss!â Kuang Xiaorou was so excited that she rolled her eyes.
âHe walked you back while holding your hand. You must have bumped into a lot of couples, right? Does it feel good to be among the couples with your boyfriend?â Feng Yaqing said. As she thought about the scene, she felt so embarrassed and started shuddering as she covered her face.
Xie Jiling was speechless.
Xie Jiling decided to counter their jokes with an open mind. âIt felt great. Iâm going to wash up now and get in bed. Iâm going to wait for his message.â
With that, she took her pajamas out and went to the bathroom.
Han Zhuofeng had truly drunk a little too much.
He felt dizzy as he went back to his house.
He was still thinking about Xie Jiling. No matter how drunk he was, he couldnât forget about Xie Jiling.
He was so drunk that he barely had the energy to wash up, but he kept thinking about when Xie Jiling might arrive tomorrow.
If she were to come early and he was still asleep.
It wouldnât be good if Xie Jiling saw how smelly and dirty he looked.
As such, he pulled himself up and went to the bathroom.
He couldnât shower, but he washed his face and brushed his teeth.
He then crashed on the bed.
He took his phone and found Xie Jilingâs WeChat. âIâm home. I drank a little too much. Iâm going to sleep. Good night.â
Xie Jiling felt assured after receiving the WeChat message. She replied, âGood night,â and slept as well.
The next morning, Xie Jiling headed to Han Zhuofengâs house after she had eaten breakfast.
With the passcode that Han Zhuofeng had saved on her phone, she successfully opened the door.
The house was really quiet.
She could hear someoneâs faint snoring.
The door to Han Zhuofengâs room was ajar. It wasnât closed.
Xie Jiling popped her head through the ajar door and saw that Han Zhuofeng was still sleeping.
Xie Jiling decided not to disturb him.
She didnât know when he would wake up.
And so, she left the house.
She walked around the places nearby and found a restaurant that specialized in breakfast.
She bought buns and soymilk. Even if such food and drinks turned cold, they could heat it up, and it wouldnât taste horrible.
She didnât know how much Han Zhuofeng could eat. She pondered and decided to buy three drawers of dumplings.
Each drawer of dumplings was of a different flavor.
When she went back to Han Zhuofengâs house, Han Zhuofeng was still asleep.
Xie Jiling left the breakfast in the kitchen.
She then went to the living room and sat on the sofa. She wore her headphones and watched a show.
She waited until almost noon.
Yet, Han Zhuofeng still showed no signs of waking up. Xie Jiling felt really bored.
She wanted to take a look at Han Zhuofeng again.
She leaned on the doorframe and hesitated as she popped her head through the ajar door. Like a cat that had confirmed that the surroundings were safe, she stepped into Han Zhuofengâs room.
The window to Han Zhuofengâs room was slightly opened.
Therefore, the room barely smelled of alcohol. The smell of the alcohol had already disappeared, thanks to the ventilation.
When Xie Jiling sat on the carpet next to the bed and leaned closer to Han Zhuofeng, she noticed the smell of alcohol.
But it was just the smell of alcohol. There were no other smells.
âAre you not going to wake up?â Xie Jiling stared at Han Zhuofeng for a moment.
