**Chapter 14: My Treat**
Luoye sent a message to "Qinyuwen" on QQ, but she didn't reply.
He also sent a message to Subaizhou on WeChat, but she still didn't reply.
What was going on?
Was this the legendary being stood up?
Luoye crouched on the ground, staring at the chat** that hadn't responded, his face full of disappointment.
But he wouldn't blame Qinyuwen and Subaizhou. They were both juniors, and the latter was the student union president. It was normal for them to be delayed by other things.
He was just very sad...
But suddenly.
A "beep" sounded in his ear.
Luoye looked up and saw a pink four-wheeled chopped pepper fish head car stopped in front of him, its hazard lights flashing.
Just as he was wondering,
Love Hotpot replied.
"Get in"
Those two words popped up. Luoye looked at the pink chopped pepper fish head car in surprise.
Was this Qin Xuejie's car?
No wonder she hadn't replied—she was driving.
Luoye felt a little excited. With a nervous heart, he opened the passenger door of the chopped pepper fish head car.
Inside, there was only one person—Subaizhou sitting in the driver's seat.
Luoye started to get nervous again, stammering, "Fairy... Su Xuejie... Qin... Qin Xuejie?"
"She had something to do but didn't want to stand you up, so she asked me to come."
Hearing that, Luoye couldn't help giving "Qinyuwen" a mental thumbs-up.
Thank you, Qin Xuejie.
My life has become exceptionally wonderful because of you.
(Some Qinyuwen in the girls' dorm sneezed.)
Because he was too nervous, Luoye missed the most crucial detail.
Namely, since Qinyuwen wasn't even in the car, why was Love Hotpot the one who had just messaged him?
Being this close to the fairy senior again, Luoye's brain had gone completely blank from nervousness.
He took back what he said last night. Love really did make people stupid.
And he was only crushing on her now.
If they actually started dating, would he just be babbling "Ah ba ah ba" in front of the fairy senior all day?
Today, Subaizhou was wearing a khaki vintage dress with light makeup—mainly just a little lipstick.
It was worth knowing that Subaizhou never wore makeup normally.
In the car, neither of them spoke. Just like that day sheltering from the rain under the tent, it was still Luoye who spoke first. "Su... Su Xuejie, is this your car?"
"Yeah, I just bought it. Not expensive."
She had worked part-time for two years in college and saved up to buy a chopped pepper fish head car for about forty thousand yuan.
As a computer science prodigy from a prestigious university, earning that much in two years during school wasn't difficult.
Subaizhou drove very*. The aloof campus belle, famous at Jiangda as the ice-cold goddess, drove just like any ordinary girl.
She drove very seriously, her eyes moving between the road ahead and the side mirrors.
Seeing this, Luoye said nervously, "Xue... Xuejie, are you..."
"Yeah, I got my driver's license last week. This is my first time driving on the road."
Hearing that, the corner of Luoye's mouth twitched.
If it weren't for the fairy senior driving, he would have wanted to get out of the car immediately.
He had once ridden in his aunt's car. The result was a crash. He was fine, but his aunt spent half a month in the hospital. He was so scared he never dared to ride in her car again.
"Su... Su Xuejie, how... how about I drive?"
Hearing that, the car pulled over to the side of the road. Subaizhou opened the door, walked around the front of the car, and stood at the passenger door.
Luoye hesitantly opened his door and got out.
Subaizhou quickly sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.
Her movements were smooth and unhesitating. As soon as she heard Luoye's words, she fled to the passenger seat.
After Luoye sat in the driver's seat, Subaizhou acted as if nothing had happened. "Do you have a driver's license?"
"Yes... yes. I got it over the summer."
Subaizhou sat beside him, emitting a fragrance that made Luoye lose himself.
On the steering wheel, there were some slightly damp handprints.
Probably nervous sweat.
The fairy senior had driven from the faculty apartment to the school gate, probably nervous the whole way. No wonder she was so quick to move to the passenger seat.
Luoye was a good driver, and with Subaizhou beside him, his skills somehow improved even more.
Following the GPS, Luoye drove to a park.
Jiangcheng Park.
After parking, Luoye asked, puzzled, "Xue... Xuejie, why... why are we here?"
Subaizhou glanced at him. "It's three in the afternoon. If we don't find somewhere to pass the time, are we just going straight to dinner?"
Luoye was taken aback.
That was true.
Then Subaizhou asked, "Do you usually stammer?"
"No!"
Luoye finally realized that he had been stammering the whole time.
Now that he came to his senses, he composed himself. "No. It's my first time going out alone with a girl. I'm nervous."
Hearing that, Subaizhou didn't say anything.
He could adjust once he realized it, which meant he wasn't actually a stutterer. He was just instinctively nervous around her.
Hah. Still a young guy who hadn't been around many girls.
They walked side by side in the park.
Their** of a handsome young man and a beautiful girl formed a highly pleasing scene in the already pleasant atmosphere.
There was a barely noticeable distance between them.
This wasn't intentionally created by Subaizhou. On the contrary, it was Luoye's doing.
It was his first time going for a walk with a girl, and they weren't familiar yet. In his opinion, keeping a distance was appropriate.
Wangdachui and Lihaoyang had been playfully rough on their first meeting. Luoye didn't like that.
Of course, that didn't mean Wangdachui and Lihaoyang's approach was wrong. Everyone had different personalities and different ways of interacting.
Luoye preferred to take things slowly. The more steps in the process, the stronger the feelings would become.
But in this fast-paced era, few people were willing to take it slow with him.
Still, he wouldn't change himself because of that.
After all, "few" didn't mean "none."
He would wait. There would be someone willing to take it slow with him.
The weather was beautiful today, unlike their first meeting in the pouring rain.
Walking in the park with the fairy senior was something Luoye wouldn't have dared to imagine just a few days ago.
He mainly had to thank Senior Qinyuwen. It was all thanks to her.
In the park, they passed a small ice cream cart.
Luoye asked, "Su Xuejie, would you like some ice cream?"
As soon as he asked, he regretted it.
Last night, in order to perform better on today's first** meeting, he had** looked up many**.
Among them, one point was especially important.
When buying something for a girl, don't ask if she wants it. Just buy it for her.
But Subaizhou did things differently.
Hearing the question, she raised an eyebrow. "You want some? Okay. My treat."
Those words completely threw Luoye for a loop.
And Subaizhou didn't look back. She walked straight to the ice cream cart.
It seemed she also had little experience interacting with guys. Her movements were a bit stiff.
