Chapter 5

You'd better be just as good as your suit in real life.

"Hey, why are you so laid-back today?" Hao Junran squinted at him, "You're usually more enthusiastic than anyone else when you see a pretty girl, have you changed your tune today?"

Yu Heng closed his eyes, pretending to yawn, "If you want to chase after them, then go for it, stop babbling."

Will Hao Junran be able to win her over?

Forget it, it's none of his business. He's been reborn, why should he care who his ex-wife is with?

The instructor's whistle suddenly blared: "Rest time over! Everyone stand up! Continue practicing marching!"

A chorus of groans erupted from the crowd. Yu Heng reluctantly got up and dusted himself off.

When the training finally ended, the instructor blew the whistle, and the crowd scattered like birds and beasts.

Hao Junran grabbed Yu Heng's arm: "Come on! Come with me to get her WeChat! Give me some courage!"

"Get lost, don't drag me down with you if you're a coward." Yu Heng shook him off. "I'm going back to my dorm to lie down."

"No way!" Hao Junran said shamelessly, "It would be so embarrassing if I got rejected. With you here, I can offer to get it for you."

Yu Heng was dragged by him toward the dance department.

He Mengyao and a few other girls were packing up to leave when Hao Junran rushed up to them, beaming, "Hi classmate! Can I add you on WeChat?"

Yu Heng stood a few steps away, watching.

He Mengyao frowned slightly and said politely but distantly, "I'm sorry, I don't add strangers on WeChat."

Hao Junran persisted, "No way! We're both freshmen, let's be friends!"

He Mengyao glanced at him and walked away.

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow. So aloof?

He wasn't this dramatic when he asked for WeChat.

Hao Junran slunk back: "Damn it, I couldn't even get a WeChat message!"

Yu Heng chuckled, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the dormitory: "I told you not to go. You're just asking for trouble. Let's go eat!"

When the two returned to their dorm, their two roommates had already turned on their computers and started playing games together.

"You two are pretty quick," Hao Junran said.

"Are you coming or not? We need two more people for a five-man team match," Liu Tianqi said, tilting his head.

Upon hearing this, Hao Junran immediately sat down in a chair: "Okay, wait for me!"

"Hurry up, this game needs to end soon!" Hou Xudong said, then looked at Yu Heng, "Is Yu Heng coming?"

"I'm not playing anymore, I'm exhausted." Yu Heng took off his military training uniform and collapsed onto the bed.

It was almost 7 o'clock, so he put on his headphones to watch the live stream.

A video call suddenly popped up on WeChat; it was Shen Yueling.

Yu Heng paused for a moment, then pressed the answer button.

On the screen, Shen Yueling was wearing pajamas, her hair was wet, as if she had just taken a shower.

She asked expressionlessly, "Are you in your dorm?"

"Otherwise what?" Yu Heng pointed the camera at the ceiling. "Why?"

"Ning Yutong said you agreed to go to the library with her tonight." Shen Yueling's tone was calm, but her eyes were a little cold. "When did you become so fond of studying?"

Yu Heng cursed inwardly, "When did she tell me she was going to the library?"

"She must have misremembered," Yu Heng said, pouting. "I need to catch up on sleep tonight, I don't have time."

Shen Yueling stared at the screen for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Then come out now and come with me to buy some things."

Yu Heng almost burst out laughing: "Big sister, I'm exhausted from military training, can't you find someone else?"

"No, wait for me at the supermarket entrance!" Shen Yueling hung up the video call immediately.

Yu Heng looked at his phone and thought, "Damn, this woman is still so assertive."

He glanced at WeChat again and saw that Ning Yutong had indeed sent him a message half an hour ago.

Ning Yutong: Will you come to the library with me? I just asked Yue Ling if she wanted to come with me, and she said no, so I said I'd go with Yu Heng instead, hehe (✺ω✺)

Yu Heng frowned as he looked at her. Was Ning Yutong a little bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing?

He put on his clothes and left the dormitory.

After waiting for a few minutes at the supermarket entrance, Shen Yueling walked over wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

"Let's go," she said casually.

"What are you buying? Did I have to come all this way?" Yu Heng followed him into the supermarket.

Shen Yueling walked ahead, her tone calm but her words somewhat abrupt: "Ning Yutong seems to be looking for you a lot lately."

"Really?" Yu Heng feigned ignorance. "Is it alright?"

Shen Yueling suddenly stopped and turned to stare at him: "You two were rumored to be dating in high school, and now you're in the same school, so are you two going to start dating?"

"That's all just hearsay," Yu Heng interrupted her. "When did you become so gossipy?"

Shen Yueling didn't reply and continued walking forward.

Yu Heng watched her retreating figure, thinking to himself that this woman was acting a bit strangely today.

He's usually incredibly aloof, but today he actually brought this up on his own initiative.

Upon reaching the beverage section, Shen Yueling grabbed a case of mineral water and handed it to him, saying, "Hold this for me."

Yu Heng took the water and couldn't help but ask, "You called me out just to buy this?"

"No way?" Shen Yueling glanced at him.

"Are you curious about my relationship with her?" Yu Heng said with a grin.

"No, it's just that carrying a bottle of mineral water is tiring," Shen Yueling said.

"There's really nothing between us," Yu Heng said with a chuckle, rarely seeing her like this. "But are you jealous?"

"Why would I be jealous?" Shen Yueling glared at her.

"Really not? Ever since that incident, you've..." Yu Heng was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Shut up, don't mention that!" Shen Yueling stared at him coldly. "Then why did you agree to come out with me?"

Yu Heng was taken aback by her question: "Didn't you insist that I come?"

"You can refuse." Shen Yueling looked directly into his eyes.

Yu Heng felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and looked away, saying, "I'm just used to it."

After these words were spoken, both of them fell silent.

From the time they met when they were toddlers until now, Yu Heng has indeed rarely refused her requests.

"Let's go." Shen Yueling suddenly turned around. "Let's pay the bill."

Yu Heng watched her retreating figure, feeling utterly bewildered.

What's wrong with this woman today?

Taking the wrong medicine?

Yu Heng carried the bottled water and followed Shen Yueling towards the dormitory area.

"So, why are you buying water?" Yu Heng quickened his pace to walk beside her. "Aren't there water dispensers on every floor of the dormitory?"

Shen Yueling looked straight ahead, her tone flat: "Drink."

She just wanted to find a reason to get Yu Heng to do something.

"..." Yu Heng was speechless, speechless after hearing her single word. "Fine, you're awesome."

When they reached the girls' dormitory building, Shen Yueling stopped and turned around to take the water from his hand.

"I'm going up," she said.

"Is that all?" Yu Heng asked, looking at her.

Shen Yueling, carrying the water, looked at him for a few seconds: "Otherwise what?"

"How about a kiss as payment?" Yu Heng said, looking at her, before running away immediately before she could react. "Just kidding!"

Back in the dormitory, Hao Junran and the others were still shouting and yelling in front of their computers.

"Rat! Do you even know how to play?! Flashing in and feeding kills?!" Liu Tianqi slammed his fist on the table and roared.

"I fucking wanted to cut into the backline! Who knew their support was just squatting there!" Hao Junran shouted even louder.

Hou Xudong, trying to smooth things over, said, "Alright, alright, that's enough, we've got it all done. We can win, we can win..."

"Damn! This guy's cheating, isn't he?!" Hao Junran slammed his fist on the table.

"If you're bad at cooking, practice more!" Liu Tianqi said without turning his head. "Where did Yu Heng go?"

"I'll be a laborer." Yu Heng took off his coat, climbed onto the bed, and put on his headphones.

He opened Bilibili, and sure enough, Ye Lingyuan was streaming.

It's still that same fuming leather suit, playing a single-player horror game, occasionally screaming in fright.

Yu Heng watched for a while and then found it boring.

He switched to another app and opened Ye Lingyuan's QQ.

Yu Heng: Are you there?

A few minutes later, they replied.

Ye Lingyuan: Hey boss, I'm live streaming~ What's up?

Yu Heng: Saturday night at 6 pm, first floor of the second canteen, don't forget.

Ye Lingyuan: I know! I won't forget (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Yu Heng: You'd better be as good as your suit in real life.

Ye Lingyuan: ? ? ?

Yu Heng: Haha, see you on Saturday!

Yu Heng smiled, closed the chat window, scrolled through his phone for a while, and then drifted off to sleep.
