Xie Xingzhou just waved his hand to Mu Nan as a greeting.

When his eyes met Jiang Sui's, he nodded at her.

Jiang Sui was a little surprised that this boy named Xie Xingzhou was no longer as unruly as he was that day. She also smiled back at him.

Later, when I was having dinner, I heard the girls at the next table gossiping that Xie Xingzhou was a genius in the computer department, who had won many awards in international competitions. He was an absolute academic master and the idol of all the girls in the school.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sui glanced at Mu Nan, as if seeking confirmation.

Mu Nan just shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either..."

Such a powerful person actually knows Si Nian and calls him Brother Nine. What is their relationship? And why does he call Si Nian Brother Nine?

Questions sprouted in Jiang Sui's heart one after another, but no one could give her answers.

If she wanted to know the answer, she could only ask Xie Xingzhou or Si Nian. She had only met Xie Xingzhou twice in total and was not familiar with him, so she couldn't ask him.

Then she could only find an opportunity to ask Si Nian.

In the evening, Xiao Wen and Mu Nan went to listen to the welcome concert. Jiang Sui didn't like crowded places, so she just stayed in the dormitory. But the two guys didn't come back until after eight o'clock, and she hadn't had dinner yet.

Jiang Sui could only lie on the bed with an empty stomach. He picked up his phone and looked at Si Nian’s WeChat profile picture, wondering whether to send him a message.

She typed a line of words on the mobile phone screen, looked at it for a while, deleted it, wrote again, and deleted it again. She repeated this several times and finally only sent three words.

Shan Xi: What are you doing?

It has been a long time since the message was sent, but there has been no response from Si Nian.

It was so long that Jiang Sui thought he was asleep. She didn't expect that a young man in his twenties would go to bed so early.

Jiang Sui simply put down her cell phone, took out her "old-school" MP3 player, lay on the bed with headphones on and listened to foreign languages.

After a while, the phone on the bed vibrated.

Jiang Sui picked it up immediately and saw that it was a WeChat message from Si Nian.

Year: At work!

Jiang Sui's mind flashed back to the image of him in the restaurant the day before last.

Shan Xi: What job do you do?

Si Nian came back after a while.

Nian: What? You want to help me do it?

Jiang Sui curled her lips, rubbed her aching stomach with one hand, and sent a message to Si Nian with the other hand.

Shan Xi: I’m hungry... woooo...

This time Si Nian came back very quickly.

Year: No dinner?

Shan Xi: Well, my roommate hasn’t come back yet, and I don’t want to go out to eat alone.

After this message was sent, there was no movement from Si Nian again.

Jiang Sui was lying on the bed in a daze. It was so late, and Si Nian said he was still working. What kind of work was he doing? Was he still repairing the cash register in the restaurant?

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Wen and Mu Nan came back chatting and laughing, with Xiao Wen holding a takeaway in his hand.

"Sui, you haven't eaten yet?" Xiao Wen stood under Jiang Sui's bed and asked her with his head raised.

"Well, how did you know that?"

Jiang Sui weakly raised half of his body from the bed and answered.

"Hurry, come down and eat, your takeaway is here!"

Hearing Xiao Wen's call, Jiang Sui immediately climbed out of bed and started to unpack the takeaway food. While unpacking, he asked, "Wen Wen, why are you so kind? What delicious food did you bring me?"

Xiao Wen was confused by her question. Jiang Sui asked in confusion, "Didn't you buy it?"

The answer was that Xiao Wen just happened to meet the delivery man downstairs, and there happened to be Jiang Sui's takeaway, so she helped bring it up.

So this takeaway...

Jiang Sui immediately thought of Si Nian, and she hurriedly took out the takeaway box, which contained a box of Jiang Sui's favorite dumplings and a cup of milk tea.

Jiang Sui took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it to Si Nian.

Shan Xi:?

Shan Xi: Did you order this?

Nian: Well, just order whatever you want. Eat and go to bed early.

Seeing that Si Nian replied to her message almost instantly, Jiang Sui was delighted. She even sent the empty packaging to Si Nian, but there was no reply for a long time.

Jiang Sui was very busy in the next few days. She needed to adapt to the new courses and new environment.

In addition to her major and a second foreign language, Jiang Sui has also taught herself several other languages since she was young. Although she has now reached the stage where she can communicate without any barriers, she still needs to practice frequently because her current level is still far from her ideal.

When she had problems, she would use her status as a foreign student to ask teachers of various languages for help.

In his spare time, Jiang Sui would also send a few messages to Si Nian, asking him what he was doing, but the replies he got were all the same, either he was working or he was busy.

What on earth is he doing? Why is he always busy?

Jiang Sui became even more curious about Si Nian's current situation, so she expressed her desire to visit him many times in messages, but was stopped by Si Nian with various excuses.

Jiang Sui pestered him so much that he simply stopped replying to messages and answering calls.

This made Jiang Sui very anxious.

Jiang Sui couldn't figure out what he was afraid of her seeing. She had already seen the work he did. Although Jiang Sui couldn't accept it at first, she gradually got relieved.

Although he gave up their agreement first, Jiang Sui didn't blame him at all. She felt that he must have encountered some huge difficulties, otherwise who would be willing to give up his ideals so easily?

Since Si Nian would never agree to let Jiang Sui go find him, she had to find another way herself.

But what can we do?

This problem troubled Jiang Sui for a long time, until one weekend noon, when Jiang Sui was on his way back from interpreting practice, he happened to run into Xie Xingzhou, who was wearing a basketball uniform. He seemed to have just come back from playing basketball, and was walking towards the cafeteria with a few classmates, chatting and laughing.

Jiang Sui's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of a solution.

So Jiang Sui rushed to Xie Xingzhou and others at the speed of a 100-meter sprint and blocked their way.

Several people were frightened by Jiang Sui's sudden appearance, only Xie Xingzhou raised the corner of his mouth wickedly when he saw that the person coming was Jiang Sui. He didn't say anything, just waited to see what the girl would do.

Jiang Sui was a little out of breath when she stopped because she ran so fast. She tried to calm her breathing and considered in her mind how to start the conversation.

"Um...Xie Xingzhou, can we talk alone?"

As soon as Jiang Sui said this, all the friends around Xie Xingzhou burst into laughter.

Someone even joked with him, "OK, Old Xie, you're still as charming as ever. It's only been a few days since school started, and another girl is coming to confess her love to you?"

"Yeah, Old Xie, take it easy!"

"Hahaha"

However, Xie Xingzhou pursed his lips slightly and said nothing, gazing at Jiang Sui with sharp eyes.

Noticing Xie Xingzhou's gaze and hearing the teasing of his companions, Jiang Sui lowered his head slightly, his face turning pale and red.

Fortunately, Xie Xingzhou did not let this situation last too long and let his companions leave first.

"Okay, now there's no one else around, go ahead and speak!"
