Luo Yusen didn’t think much at first, but when Fei Bai asked like that, he couldn’t help but think of the phrase, “You can only seduce this senior brother during non-working hours”.
He raised one corner of his lips and said, “Are you implying something, Junior Brother Fei Bai?”
Fei Bai knew what he was thinking and deliberately softened his voice and said, “Senior Brother, this isn’t an implication. It’s a clear statement.”
The boy’s gentle voice, as soft as a feather, gently touched Luo Yusen’s eardrums. He looked out at the vast night scenery, calmly saying, “You can give it a try.”
After the ‘It is not flirting but it’s better than flirting’ call, Fei Bai sat back in his chair and began to continue the project planning that he would use for the meeting with Qiao Li and the others tomorrow. He finally wrote a rough outline at one or two o’clock in the morning. He yawned and sent the document to the project team chat.
Qiao Li quickly sent him a private message, “Fei Bai, were you a streetlight in your past life? Why are you staying up late every day? Don’t you know that staying up late is slow suicide?”
“This isn’t slow suicide when I have you to keep me company,” Fei Bai replied.
Qiao Li said, “I’m different from you.”
“How are you different?” Fei Bai asked curiously, “Aren’t we both staying up late? Can you stay up and bloom a little red flower?”
Qiao Li replied proudly, “To tell you the truth, this buddy of yours is chatting with the little girl he recently liked.”
Fei Bai said, “Oh, so you’re not slow suicide; you’re slow martyrdom of love.”

The next morning was their project team’s meeting time, set in the coffee shop of the technology building. Fei Bai and Qiao Li rushed over after their 8 AM classes, but they waited for a while without seeing the shadow of the other person.

Fei Bai messaged Yuan Zidan, but there was no reply. He then called him, and after a while, a drowsy “Hello” came through the receiver.
“It’s me, Fei Bai. Do you still remember the meeting?” Fei Bai reminded him.
There was silence for a few seconds on Yuan Zidan’s end, followed by the sound of someone abruptly turning over in bed. “I remember, I’m on my way, I’ll be there in a moment.”
Then, the phone call was promptly ended.
Fei Bai sighed. “On his way,” apparently meant he was still on his way out of bed.
He glanced at his phone and told Qiao Li, “He’s still asleep.”
Qiao Li clicked his tongue. “I’ve always thought this guy was unreliable. When we were proposing the project, we had to fill out the requirement assessment form, and this guy from the computer science department actually came to me asking about Excel formulas. How did he even get into our school? Nowadays, it doesn’t seem easy to cheat on the college entrance exam.”
Fei Bai shook his head. “Just be content. The big shots from the computer science department usually form internal teams for projects. They don’t have time to play with us liberal arts students. Besides, we’re doing app development. Having a computer science student on our team would look like cheating.”
Yuan Zidan wasn’t too slow in getting up. He arrived at the coffee shop about fifteen minutes later, looking a bit drowsy. He explained to Fei Bai and Qiao Li, “I’m sorry, I rode my bike over, but I got caught in heavy traffic because so many people were heading to their 10 AM classes. I couldn’t pedal.”
Qiao Li let out a “hmph” and muttered under his breath, “How novel, bikes causing traffic jams.”
Fei Bai didn’t respond and instead scrutinized Yuan Zidan’s face. He asked, “Your pillowcase is made of linen, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is. How did you know?” Yuan Zidan was puzzled.
Fei Bai said, “You have marks on your face.”
After saying that, he opened his computer and started assigning tasks for the midterm report. Since he had already prepared the plan the previous night, he was very efficient and managed to explain all the necessary details within twenty minutes.
As the three of them discussed the tasks they had just assigned, Fei Bai suddenly remembered something. “By the way, do you happen to know a senior from your department named Luo Yusen?”
Qiao Li cleared his throat and winked at Fei Bai.
“Luo Yusen? That name sounds familiar. What year is he in?” Yuan Zidan asked.
Fei Bai replied, “He’s not an undergraduate. He’s a doctoral student.”
Yuan Zidan shook his head immediately. “In that case, I definitely don’t know him. Doctoral students only occasionally come to our campus to attend a few classes. I wouldn’t have had a chance to meet him.”
Fei Bai nodded. He had wanted to inquire more about Luo Yusen from Yuan Zidan, but since Yuan Zidan didn’t know him, there was no need to continue.
After the meeting, Yuan Zidan left, and Qiao Li and Fei Bai stayed in the coffee shop for some self-study. They were working on an assignment for an elective course, translating English literature. Qiao Li multitasked, looking up words while chatting with Fei Bai, “Fei Bai, I think you better not keep asking about that guy named Luo Yusen. What if it raises his suspicions? What do you think?”
Fei Bai casually asked, “Could he really be that suspicious?”
“Just in case. Remember, he managed to fool you completely back then. Maybe he’s secretly investigating all your details now,” Qiao Li said with conviction.
Fei Bai stopped typing on his keyboard and said, “Can you not say things like ghost stories, please?”
“What ghost stories? I’m just giving you advice,” Qiao Li said playfully. “After all, I’m not only your buddy but also your ‘father.'”
“Get lost, be more civilized,” Fei Bai nudged him with his elbow.
Qiao Li exaggeratedly cleared his throat and said, “Oh, I’m your ‘father.’ Now is that civilized enough?”
By the time it was lunchtime, they had only two more sections of the literature translation to go. Qiao Li asked if Fei Bai had a class in the afternoon. If he did, they could go eat first. Fei Bai checked his schedule and replied, “I have an elective, but it’s not important. Let’s finish the assignment first.”
When they finished eating, it was already past one o’clock. Fei Bai didn’t have time to go back to his rented room for a rest, so he headed straight to the classroom for his elective course, planning to take a short nap on the desk.
His class was in the Arts Building, and as Fei Bai climbed the stairs, he noticed several boys wearing tight black exercise outfits. He slowed down his pace.
Xu Geyang was indeed from the Dance Department and often came to attend body movement classes dressed in exercise attire.
Fei Bai felt relieved after confirming that none of the people he saw were his ex-boyfriend. He found the classroom for his class, sat down in the back row, and buried his head in his arms.
After a few minutes of lying down, Fei Bai suddenly felt the urge to go to the restroom. He stood up and left the classroom. As he entered the men’s restroom, he saw someone in exercise attire leaning against the window sill, smoking without a care in the world. Their blue hair stood out prominently in the sunlight streaming in from outside.
Thanks for the chapter!

Thank You for the new chapter ٩(*ゝڡ◕๑)۶♥
Oh nooo! Running into the vixen again. 😨
That university is really small huh.
Thanks for the chapter ❤️❤️
Thank you for the chapter 💛
Não gosto do de cabelo azul
This is starting to feel slightly different than a cheating ex situation. It’s almost as if the blue haired guy had known and hated Fei Bai before and destroyed his relationship in a targeted attempt as a part of some plan to harm him.
