01

I am someone else's Lu Qiu Hai, I am merely your Fang Xu Yu. From the moment we met, let all past events return to zero

- A moment of time.

"What do you mean by that?" My mood instantly dropped to freezing point, "Don't think you can investigate my affairs at will"

"It is my honor," he replied with a smile, putting down his chopsticks, and waited for me to finish before going to settle the bill

Ah? I am very confused and do not understand why he would say that. Does he know that I would come to the cafeteria at this hour, and therefore placed spies around me?

There are two other girls, one named Chen Yating and the other Jiang Meng. Chen Yating is an academic achiever, leaving early and returning late every day, making it difficult to see her, while Jiang Meng is said to have a very wealthy boyfriend. When the dormitory checks are not strict, she hardly returns to the dormitory, so she is basically never around. We have never seen her boyfriend; we just have an unspoken agreement not to touch the pile of cosmetics on her desk. Yang Liu said that the price of just one bottle of something there is equivalent to my living expenses for two months. After Yang Liu told me all this, I finally had a general understanding of everyone in the dormitory.

I cannot help but suspect that he has mind-reading abilities

"Let's have a meal together, I am hungry," he said as he walked inside

He stood under a begonia tree at the entrance of the cafeteria, wearing a black trench coat and jeans. A hint of amusement played on his indifferent face as his eyes fixed intently on me

Yang Liu? It is impossible. Yang Liu is not someone who is inconsistent in words and actions. Moreover, they do not know each other.

I glanced at her screen and smiled helplessly

I helped a friend with the laundry. I said this while standing on my tiptoes to hang the clothes, without turning my head.

She waved her hand

"Why are you waiting for me?" After asking, I felt it was inappropriate, so I immediately rephrased, "What I mean is, how did you know that I..."

A person like him, reclusive and unconventional, will not easily give up on anything that presents a challenge, and I happen to be the novel prey in his otherwise mundane life

"What kind of weather is this? I'm freezing to death," said a short-haired girl in pajamas, pouting as she spoke to her companion

However, I made it clear in advance that I would only help him wash his coat. The last time, a coat that his mother bought for him, costing over a thousand, was twisted into a crumpled mess by him in the washing machine, and in the end, it could only be thrown away. He didn't care, but it pained me to see it.

"What you understand is the meaning." he replied

"It doesn't matter, this is precisely my opportunity for revenge, I am honored to do so," I replied coldly

I am afraid he never intended to let me go from the very beginning; I truly do not understand what he finds amusing about clinging to me. He has taken many things from me, and I do not owe him a single cent, nor do I have the mood to play games with him

No need, I said

"This time he is willing to greet me, which surprises me." His gaze shifted to my face

Due to the cold weather, students generally dislike hand washing their clothes, resulting in long queues for the washing machines in the laundry rooms on each floor. I am not accustomed to waiting and would rather heat some water to wash by hand. I called Lin Jiaxuan to ask if he had any clothes that needed washing, and he was so delighted that he seemed ready to fly; he immediately brought over a white hooded down jacket.

Although he is handsome, he always gives me a gloomy and eccentric feeling, which is also the reason I do not wish to have too deep of an interaction with him

He is definitely doing it on purpose

I felt as if I had been struck by a blunt object, as he transformed the interrogative sentence into a declarative one, leaving me no space to refuse

Indeed, indeed. The person next to me stomped their foot and said, "The weather forecast says it is going to snow soon"

He dislikes doing laundry the most, and I am aware of this

"It is unfortunate that I must continue to be disliked by you," he said suddenly, as he watched me staring blankly at a plate of beef.

"Who is afraid of you!" I retorted fiercely, and a victorious smile appeared on his face

"What a coincidence." I forced out an awkward smile

Wow, wow, wow, Wei Yang is so virtuous, washing the boys' clothes. Yang Liu, with her keen eyes, spotted me walking by and playfully teased me with her exclamations.

It turns out that memory does not disappear; it simply lacks the opportunity to be recalled. Looking back after a long time, that must have been the beginning of my dislike for him

"Next Wednesday, you will come back for dinner, and we will celebrate the birthday at home." He interrupted my words lightly, and before I could refuse, he smiled at me, saying, "If you come, I will tell you the answer to the question I just asked."

The arrival of winter signifies that the final exams are approaching. Generally, only Yang Liu and I remain in the dormitory, each occupied with our own tasks, occasionally making plans to go to the library together

Is that so? What I heard is quite different! For example, the boy you like ignores you completely; will you take revenge for that?" He laughed in a highly sarcastic manner

I do not know what he truly wants this time

"Friend? Boyfriend?" Yang Liu inquired with great interest

I glanced at their figures as they ran up, and I began to look forward to the snow. I thought, it is rare for a girl not to like snow.

Fang Weiyang, you must come next Wednesday! If you don't come, something terrible might happen." He stood in front of me, looking down as he informed me

After soaking the down jacket in warm water, I took a soft-bristled brush dipped in laundry detergent and carefully brushed away the stains on it. After rinsing with clean water, I carefully wrung it out and hung it on the balcony to dry

"Are you going to help your roommate bring lunch this time?" he asked

As I was going downstairs, I sent a message to Lin Jiaxuan, asking him to wait for my message before coming to pick up the down jacket. In the stairwell, several girls were rushing to pick up takeout, constantly complaining about the cold weather

"Oh, if you don't want to say it, then don't. Anyway, I will find out, hum hum, just ordinary friends." She had a look of disbelief, emphasizing the last four words, and after saying that, she turned back to continue watching her Korean drama

Fang Xuyu casually sat down in the cooking area and ordered several dishes without even asking for my opinion. I couldn't be bothered to argue with him; after all, I am not picky about food, so it doesn't matter what I eat. Even so, I still felt quite displeased inside

Do you want to bring lunch? I asked Yang Liu

I did not expect him to return this year; perhaps he will hold a grand birthday party at his villa. I am hesitating whether to go and take a look at that time

Staring at the cilantro and red pepper on the beef, a scene from my youth suddenly surfaced in my mind. At that time, he, Fang Chongyan, and I were having a meal together. He detested cilantro and would always specifically remind the cook not to include it, while I would secretly grab a large handful and toss it in. As a result, I enjoyed my meal in front of him, yet he wouldn't even pick up his chopsticks. On one occasion, unable to endure it any longer, he threw the dish along with the plate into the trash can. The outcome was the same: I savored my food in front of him, while he still wouldn't touch his chopsticks. On another occasion, he could no longer bear it and tossed the dish along with the plate into the trash can.

"Fang Xuyu, you are truly quite detestable." At this moment, I found myself filled with such hatred, hating his investigation of me, hating his sarcastic tone, and his dismissive attitude

Hmm. I shrugged, "Then I will head down first."

Just ordinary friends

He took the magazine, filled half a bowl of rice, and placed it on the table in front of me, then served himself a bowl of rice and began to eat in silence

Surrounded by a cacophony, we quietly ate our meal. Although he had ordered the dishes, his chopsticks only moved over a plate of vegetables, while he didn't even glance at the beef in front of me

After hanging the clothes, I returned to my bed, dried my hands, and changed my shoes to go out to buy dinner

Unable to avoid him, I just want to pass by smoothly. As I walked past him, I forced a calm smile.

She shook her head like a rattle drum and said, "I eat instant noodles"

So that's a crush then she perseveres

"Unfortunately, I am waiting for you." His expression was one of entitlement

No, that's not it. I raised a speechless smile, put down the drying rack, and bent down to stack the scattered pots and buckets on the balcony to one side

I do not know if I have encountered something sinister, but on my way to the cafeteria, I once again came across Lu Qiu Hai, or rather, Fang Xu Yu.

Fang Chongyan and Lin Jiaxuan were both born on snowy days in the cold winter, just a few days apart. In my childhood, I never gave Fang Chongyan a gift, so as I grew up, every time I chose a gift for Lin Jiaxuan, I would think of Fang Chongyan, who is far away in a foreign country

I walked over and sat down, glaring at him fiercely. He picked up a fashion magazine and casually flipped through it. Before long, the dishes were served, and to my surprise, they were all my usual favorites. I looked at him with a hint of astonishment.
