A cool evening breeze blew, and the moon appeared and disappeared among the clouds.
Although it's winter break, many university students are still staying on campus, along with high school students from all over the country attending winter camps, making the university town as lively as ever.
Shi Sui followed the navigation to Lee Creative Korean Restaurant.
I got a number online, and arrived just in time. I waited in line for one table and then went in.
The interior decoration has an artistic feel, the tableware is all ceramic products designed by independent designers, and there are green plants and flowers, making the dining environment very atmospheric.
Shi Sui pushed the menu forward: "Xu Chaomu, you order."
Xu Chaomu paused for a moment, then took the menu.
Shi Sui propped her head up to look at him. The boy's slender fingers flipped through the menu, his knuckles distinct, his eyebrows and eyes cool and aloof, his eyelids slightly lowered, and his eyelashes long and thick.
Peanut butter fried chicken, tomato kimchi and pork belly rice, spicy seafood stir-fried rice cakes, tiramisu...
These are all foods that Shi Sui loves to eat.
Healed by the delicious food, Shi Sui was happy during the meal, but afterwards, her little emotional outburst resurfaced.
She suspected that Xu Chaomu was ordering food according to her preferences and was accommodating her.
On the way back, I came across a milk tea shop that I heard was opened by a senior from Z University and was praised online as the "shining light of milk tea in the university town".
Seeing that there weren't many people in line, Shi Sui pulled Xu Chaomu over and said, "We want to drink milk tea."
She quickly ordered, then texted Shangguan Ying to order her a drink as well.
Then, as if remembering something, Shi Sui tugged at Xu Chaomu's sleeve: "You have to drink too."
The way she tugged at his sleeve, demanding he drink milk tea, seemed no different from her usual "This is delicious, you have to have some too" attitude.
So Xu Chaomu didn't think much of it and walked to the counter: "Black coconut strawberry milk, normal sugar, no ice."
Shi Sui: ...
We ordered the same milk tea.
Not only that, but the same applies to both regular sugar and no ice.
Shi Sui had previously thought that their tastes might be very similar, which was why he chose Korean food, which she liked.
There's something really wrong with how you order milk tea these days.
He didn't seem to have a favorite flavor, or maybe he simply didn't want to drink milk tea, but because she said, "You want to drink it too," he was forced to order the same milk tea as her.
The more Shi Sui thought about it, the worse her mood became.
She took the milk tea from Xu Chaomu. The layered milk tea looked beautiful, the strawberries were sweet, the coconut milk was fragrant, and the milk mixture was delicious, but her mood was not good.
We continued our conversation along the way, discussing the isocyclic problem, Euclidean division, and the complete residue system...
As they approached the hotel, Xu Chaomu guessed that she would definitely continue talking about Euler's theorem, but she didn't want to anymore, so she asked, "Shi Sui, are you unhappy today?"
Shi Sui was stunned. She thought that talking about studying would distract her and make her feel better.
She looked up and met his eyes, and saw her own reflection in those clean, clear eyes.
Suddenly, she realized that the problem lay with her.
Shi Sui: "Xu Chaomu, I've noticed that when I'm with you, I always talk to you about my studies and exam papers; we don't have any other topics to discuss."
Xu Chaomu was stunned. He realized that her series of unusual behaviors today might mean she found him boring.
The boy's jet-black hair fell down, obscuring his eyes; he knew he was a boring person.
Shi Sui continued, "Today, I noticed that you always cater to my preferences, whether it's choosing a restaurant or a milk tea. You're just like me..."
Xu Chaomu looked down at her, her fingers hanging at her sides tightening slightly, a sharp pang throbbed in her heart.
Does this mean he lacks his own opinions?
He had no hobbies, and nothing could interest him; his existence was simply about maintaining his vital signs.
That is, assuming you haven't met Shi Sui.
He's a person without energy; he only gets energy when he's near her.
But now his energy seems to have grown tired of him—
Shi Sui: "Xu Chaomu, I know so little about you. I don't know your preferences or your thoughts. In front of you, I always force you to accommodate me, and you have never refused me..."
Xu Chaomu raised her eyes in surprise.
What he thought was boring, indecisive, and tedious... turned out to be none of that at all.
All she felt was self-blame; she felt she hadn't done enough.
The boy's eyes were gentle, shimmering with starlight. He said, "You didn't force me."
"Ok?"
“I won’t refuse either.” Xu Chaomu paused, her tone serious. “Because it’s you, I won’t refuse.”
Shi Sui thought for half a second. Wasn't the reason she couldn't refuse because she was being forced?
Because it was you who forced me, I dared not refuse.
that's terrible.
But Shi Sui decided not to dwell on that for now, and smiled with her eyes crinkling: "Xu Chaomu, after the winter camp ends and I win the gold medal, let's not talk about studying during the winter break. How about we go out and have some fun?"
Only when a person has enough things they love will they want to live a good life.
Shi Sui: "Go to museums, planetariums, science museums, go hiking, boating, cycling... I want to help you find things you like."
"Okay." Xu Chaomu looked at her and smiled faintly.
Seeing him smile, Shi Sui's mood instantly brightened: "Then it's settled!"
However, she could only reward herself with going out to play if she won a gold medal, so she was determined to win one.
The girl had a bright smile on her lips, and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at him, as if he was the only one in her heart.
It's hard not to be moved.
Besides, he had already fallen for her.
"Don't smile at me like that." Xu Chaomu looked at her, his eyes darkening, and leaned close to her ear: "I have desires too."
It's you.
A low, husky voice and hot breath filled her ears, and Shi Sui's face suddenly flushed.
Then, happily, she tapped the system: [System! Xu Chaomu has the will to live!]
System: [Really? But it's not mentioned in the novel.]
Shi Sui: [Yes, yes! He whispered something to me, he has desires! He will definitely live well!]
System: [Host, you must also live well.]
Shi Sui happily twirled around: [Of course!]

The following morning, the winter camp organizers held an opening ceremony and a group photo.
Most of the participants in the winter camp have competition experience. The competition circle is not large, and they are all familiar faces. However, the three from Xinghua this year are fresh faces with stunning looks.
"Are they really here for a winter camp? Shouldn't they be taking the art college entrance exams?"
"I heard they're from Xinghua."
"Xinghua?"
"It's a high school that only rich people can afford. That girl was dressed in designer clothes, probably worth a house."
"Damn, if they're so rich, why are they even participating in the competition? Their families must have already arranged for them to study abroad and get their resumes. What are they competing with us for?"
"They're definitely just here to have fun. I just saw them. Those two girls weren't holding competition books at all. They were pretending to study, but they were actually reading comic books!"
"Wow, did they buy their spot at the winter camp?"
……
Shi Sui studied until late last night. This morning, during the opening ceremony, the leaders' speeches were too boring, so she carefully read the comic book that Shangguan Ying had given her, hoping to have more topics to talk about with her.
