She and Bai Bo were not in the same major, nor were their classes ever on the same floor. However, after every class, Bai Bo couldn't resist coming to find Shen Yue. After too many visits, Shen Yue started to dislike it, so he had to reduce his frequency.
Shen Yue suddenly had a good idea. Bai Bo and the big villain were good brothers, so she could use Bai Bo to get closer to the big villain.
It was just a little unethical.
Seeing Shen Yue come out, Bai Bo immediately rushed over. He didn't care about the gazes of those around him and said nervously to Shen Yue.
"Shen Yue, didn't I tell you to message me when you got home yesterday? I thought something had happened to you, and I was so scared I called Brother Wei in the middle of the night."
Shen Yue only then remembered that there was indeed such a thing, but she had forgotten. She pulled her scarf down a bit, "I forgot yesterday."
Bai Bo's gaze was drawn to the delicate pink of her lips for two seconds, then he pretended to be nonchalant and withdrew his gaze.
His tone became even more sincere.
"Then you must not forget again in the future, or I'll truly be worried to death."
The boy looked at her with a concern that didn't seem fake.
When Shen Yue thought about having to seduce this boy's good brother, she felt particularly embarrassed and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Zhuang Wan'er was a little afraid of the tall Bai Bo. She tugged Shen Yue's arm and whispered, "Let's go to the library."
Shen Yue actually wanted to say a few more words to Bai Bo, but it would ruin her persona if she continued. After all, the original host also looked down on rich second-generation types like Bai Bo who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
The sunny boy, from a line of sight Shen Yue couldn't perceive, gave Zhuang Wan'er a cold glare.
That chilling gaze sent a shiver down Zhuang Wan'er's spine.
A corner of the scarf came loose. Just as Shen Yue was about to adjust it, another hand reached out, and her hand happened to land on the other person's large hand.
The subtle touch of her soft fingertips brushing against the back of his hand caused Bai Bo's expression to freeze. The fingers Shen Yue had touched trembled violently. In Shen Yue's startled gaze, Bai Bo snatched his hand back as if he had been burned, stammering, "I, I just wanted to help you fix it."
Shen Yue adjusted her scarf herself and looked up to see the boy still flustered. She then said.
"Then I'll go to the library first."
The boy looked a bit stunned.
"Okay, okay."
Zhuang Wan'er quickly pulled Shen Yue away by the arm, still shaken by Bai Bo's glare.
She couldn't help but say to Shen Yue, "Yueyue, you should stay away from people like that. Don't you think he looks very scary?"
Shen Yue thought that it was because she hadn't met anyone more terrifying. Once she interacted with the big villain, she would know how easygoing Bai Bo was.
Bai Bo was still standing in the hallway like an idiot, his hand feeling numb, as if the soft touch still lingered.
He curled his fingers, lowered his gaze slightly, and brought the back of his hand to his nose to sniff.
It smelled good, as expected.

Shen Yue looked at apartments near the school at noon. She finally chose one closest to the school, with a supermarket nearby, making it convenient to buy anything. However, the price was quite expensive, but still within an acceptable range.
The original host was a bit hypoglycemic. Shen Yue had only eaten breakfast in the morning and hadn't eaten lunch, so she came to look at apartments. After being busy for a while, her head started to feel dizzy.
She ate a few candies to recover and then prepared to look for good restaurants nearby.
She finally chose a restaurant with a lot of people, ordered two signature dishes at random. The dishes were served quickly and tasted very good.
After eating, Shen Yue went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and a lot of candy. Shen Yue found it troublesome to clean the house while wearing a thick cotton coat, so she took it off.
The system, afraid she would catch a cold, told her to put it on quickly. Shen Yue thought it was fine, "I'll warm up when I start cleaning, it's fine."
She cleaned the house from room to room, and her legs were so weak from exhaustion.
There was still a class in the afternoon. Shen Yue didn't even have time for a nap and hurried back to school.
Perhaps it was as the system said, she had no energy all afternoon. When she returned, it had started snowing. Shen Yue brought an umbrella as the system advised, but the snow was too heavy, and her pant legs still got a little wet.
When she got back to her apartment, Shen Yue's face turned pale from the cold. She quickly turned on the air conditioner and took a hot shower to feel a bit more comfortable. However, since she didn't bring any spare clothes, she was still wearing the same ones.
As a result, she woke up with a fever the next day. After taking fever medicine, she went out to eat breakfast. She couldn't cook and found hiring a nanny troublesome, so she decided to eat out for all three meals from now on.
Zhuang Wan'er saw her pale face and asked worriedly, "Your complexion doesn't look very good. Are you sick?"
Shen Yue gave a faint smile, "Yes, just a slight cold, it's nothing serious."
"Did you take medicine? If you don't feel well, tell the teacher. Don't push yourself."
"I took medicine, it's fine."
Her mind was foggy all day. In the later classes, Shen Yue couldn't help but put her head on the desk and fall asleep. It was Zhuang Wan'er who covered for her, so the teacher didn't notice.
Shen Yue didn't expect this body's resistance to be so weak. She slept groggily for a whole day. Touching her forehead, she found it still burning hot. It seemed she needed to go to the infirmary.
Fortunately, it wasn't snowing today. Shen Yue planned to go to the infirmary, but the school was large, and it would take more than ten minutes to walk there.
Shen Yue had originally wanted to ride a bicycle, but the system said the snow on the ground was too thick, making it easy to slip. Moreover, Shen Yue didn't look in good spirits, and riding a bike would be even more dangerous.
Before she even reached the infirmary, Shen Yue's legs felt weak. She stopped by the roadside to rest and wiped the cold sweat from her face.
The system looked very worried: "Why don't you ask someone to give you a ride? Walking like this must be uncomfortable, and the wind is strong outside. Tie your scarf tighter."
Shen Yue licked her dry lips, half her face buried in the black scarf. Her pretty little face was pale, looking quite pitiful. "System, I feel unwell."
Seeing her pitiful state, the system couldn't help but lower its voice: "I know you're not feeling well. Let's ask someone for help, okay?"
"I'm too embarrassed."
Shen Yue was not good at interacting with people and even had some social anxiety. She was too embarrassed to ask strangers for help. She squatted on the flower bed to rest for a while. When her legs felt less weak, she stood up and walked towards the park.
There were very few people on the road, much quieter than usual. The white snow on the ground had turned yellow from footprints. The cold wind stung her face.
Wei Jingzhou had just come out of the boxing gym, releasing his pent-up frustration. The cold wind blew on him, making him feel much more relaxed.
