Daxia University, Mei Yuan A-1314 women’s dormitory. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Zhong Tingyue was playing the guitar when she saw Bai Weixi suddenly return to the dorm, her gait a bit strange. She asked with concern, "Weixi, you’re walking funny. Are you not feeling well?"

Bai Weixi’s face flushed red with a hint of embarrassment. She stammered, "Tingyue, I accidentally bumped my leg on my way upstairs."

Zhong Tingyue said, "Oh," without a hint of suspicion, a brilliant smile on her face as she looked at Bai Weixi. "Weixi, I see you have a guitar, too. Do you also like to play?"

Bai Weixi nodded with a smile. Influenced by her mother, Yang Jinyu, from a young age, she had been enrolled in many extracurricular classes, cultivating a variety of talents.

"I studied piano for a while, and I play the guitar in my spare time."

Zhong Tingyue’s jade-like fingers plucked the strings, a sorrowful melody blooming from the instrument and echoing softly through the room.

Listening to the tune, Bai Weixi felt her own emotions stirred.

"Tingyue, this melody sounds so sad. Is it from a song?"

Zhong Tingyue nodded, her cheeks rosy. "Yes, it’s from a song a friend wrote for me. I’m playing the melody."

Seeing Zhong Tingyue’s shy yet blissful expression for the first time, Bai Weixi covered her mouth to stifle a giggle. "Tingyue, I bet that ’friend’ you’re talking about is a boy."

"Mhm. He’s a boy," Zhong Tingyue admitted.

Seeing her reaction, Bai Weixi grew even more curious. She and Zhong Tingyue were roommates, and though they weren’t in the same major, they were in the same college. Perhaps it was the kinship felt between beautiful women, but she had a very good impression of Zhong Tingyue, a girl whose divine beauty even made her own heart flutter.

During military training, suitors sent Zhong Tingyue love letters and flowers every day. Of course, Bai Weixi had received plenty as well, and like Zhong Tingyue, she had rejected them all.

But she had done it for Li Yuan. For whom had Zhong Tingyue turned them down? Bai Weixi never understood before, but now, she was beginning to.

"Tingyue, is that boy your boyfriend?"

Zhong Tingyue shyly shook her head, her voice soft. "Not yet."

Bai Weixi smiled, understanding the unspoken meaning in her words. She winked and said, "Oh? So that means he *will* be in the future, is that it?"

"Tingyue, when are you going to introduce us?"

Zhong Tingyue neither confirmed nor denied Bai Weixi’s assumption about the future. She simply smiled and said, "I’ll introduce you when I get the chance."

Bai Weixi asked with a laugh, "Tingyue, the melody you were just playing is beautiful. Does it have lyrics? What’s it called?"

A faint, happy smile touched Zhong Tingyue’s face. "The song is called ’Nanshan South.’"

"’Nanshan South’?"

Hearing the name and recalling the melancholic melody, Bai Weixi looked at Zhong Tingyue differently. She and her friend must have a story, too.

Just like Li Yuan and I have our own story—a beautiful beginning, a turbulent journey, and eventually, a happy future.

Looking at Zhong Tingyue, who seemed lost in thought, Bai Weixi offered some encouragement. "Tingyue, if you meet the right person, you should accept him bravely. Don’t wait until you’ve truly missed your chance, only to be filled with regret."

Zhong Tingyue smiled warmly. Remembering Bai Weixi’s state a few days ago, she asked curiously, "Weixi, have you and your childhood sweetheart gotten together?"

At the mention of Li Yuan, a happy, shy smile blossomed on Bai Weixi’s face, unable to be suppressed. "Yes. After your encouragement the other day, I thought about it for a long, long time. I realized I couldn’t let him go, or I would regret it for the rest of my life.

"Since I’ve made my decision, I’ll face the consequences, even if I get badly hurt. I have no regrets."

This was the first time Zhong Tingyue had seen this side of Bai Weixi. She giggled and asked, "Weixi, your childhood sweetheart must be truly outstanding. Otherwise, how could you reject so many suitors just for him?"

Was Li Yuan outstanding?

Bai Weixi didn’t even have to think, a blissful smile gracing her features as she replied, "He really is outstanding. He’s incredibly talented, and he’s so considerate, attentive, and gentle with me. I don’t think I’ve ever met a more outstanding man in my entire life, and I probably never will."

Zhong Tingyue smiled, amazed. "Weixi, when you have time, you must introduce your boyfriend to us so we can see if he’s really as amazing as you say."

"Of course," Bai Weixi readily agreed with a laugh. "And when the time comes, you’ll have to bring out that future boyfriend of yours for me to meet, too."

Their eyes met, and they both broke into a knowing smile.

...

After leaving home, Li Yuan first went to Longyu Building, then drove the rented Audi A8 back to the university. He had rented the car for three days at one thousand a day. It would be a waste not to use it.

When he arrived at the university, he didn’t go back to his dorm. He checked the time—8:50 p.m. It was almost their arranged time, so he called Zhong Tingyue directly.

On the phone, Zhong Tingyue’s voice sounded quite happy.

"Senior, have you arrived?"

"Mhm, I’m downstairs from your dormitory building," Li Yuan answered.

"Then wait for me a moment. I’ll be right down."

"Alright."

Li Yuan stood in a corner under the shade of a tree, watching the students pass by with a slightly anxious feeling.

Mei Yuan was close to the north gate, which opened directly into the bustling city. As a result, there was a lot of foot traffic.

He was terrified of running into any of his classmates. That would surely create a battleground. After all, it was common knowledge by now that Xia Zhijin was his official girlfriend.
