After finishing her words, Li Li ran off without looking back, seemingly paying no attention to Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng wanted to call her back, but she ran so fast that in the blink of an eye, she was ten meters away. With so many people around, even if Ye Sheng tried to shout, she wouldnât be able to hear him.
âAh! Didnât you say youâd compensate me?â Ye Sheng touched his forehead, which had turned red from being hit, and said helplessly, âJust because you know me doesnât mean what you just said doesnât count.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But they were schoolmates, theyâd talk about it next time they met.
Ye Sheng watched the girlâs retreating figure and suddenly smiled. He had initially thought Li Li was a violent and irrational person, but from her behavior today, she seemed quite adorable.
Suddenly, the smile on Ye Shengâs face disappeared, âWhat am I thinking about? Forget it, I better go back and read some more books to calm down.â
Then he quickly left the Love Tree and went to find his roommates.
After getting the red placard, Li Li hurried back to meet Lan Ning, âNing Ning, guess who I just met?â
Lan Ning guessed, âTan Rou and her group or Liang Lu and her group?â
Li Li shook her head, âNeither, the person I just met weâve only seen once before, and heâs a boy.â
Lan Ning couldnât guess then, as there were so many boys they had met just once. She couldnât even remember some of their names, so how could she know who it was?
âThen I canât guess who he is,â Lan Ning gave up guessing.
Li Li continued to describe, âThe night I fought, we met him at the entrance of the boysâ dorm. He was passing by there, and then I pulled him over to pretend to be my boyfriend. He is a senior from the Chemistry Department.â
Lan Ning suddenly realized, âOh, that person!â
Li Li said smiling, âThe senior is quite nice actually. He didnât ask me to pay for hitting him with the placard and just returned it to me.â
Lan Ning smiled in agreement, âThis senior does have a good temper. If it had been someone else, they probably would have scolded us at the dorm entrance that night.â
âActually, the senior is quite good-looking, but heâs not my type,â Li Li said with a bit of regret, âNever mind, letâs not dwell on this. Letâs hurry up and hang up the placard.â
Lan Ning pointed at the placard hanging on the tree and then said, âMine is already up there.â
Li Li thought she had hung it too low and said, âYou hung it too low, let me help you take it down and hang it again.â
Lan Ning declined, âNo need for the trouble, I just found it fun and wasnât really using the Love Tree to find romance.â
Since Lan Ning said that, Li Li couldnât insist, so she flung her own placard up forcefully. This time she hung it high and didnât hit anyone else with it.
After hanging the placard, Li Li was admiring her placard under the tree when she heard someone calling her.
âLi Li, are you guys making wishes here too?â a very familiar voice rang in Li Liâs ear.
Li Li turned around and saw Jiang Min and a stranger, both holding red placards in their hands.
âSenior Jiang, long time no see!â Li Li greeted Jiang Min enthusiastically.
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Minâs face, âYeah, itâs been a long time indeed. Letâs have a meal together sometime soon.â
Since Jiang Min graduated, Li Li had seldom seen her. Their circles didnât overlap, and if it werenât for Tan Rou bridging the gap, they wouldnât have known each other at all.
Although they talked about having a meal together next time, when exactly that might be was hard to determine. It might not even happen by the time Li Li graduated.
âSure,â Even though she knew the likelihood of having that meal was slim, Li Li didnât refuse, âNext time, letâs call Tan Rou and the rest to join us.â
Lan Ning spoke up, âWeâre all here today, Tan Rou, Liang Lu, and Tian Tian are all around. Why donât we all have a meal together today?â
Li Li also thought it was a good opportunity. Who knew when they could gather again, so they might as well eat together today.
An unnatural expression appeared on Jiang Minâs face, âTan Rou came too?â
Li Li replied, âShe did, she was just with Brother Zhuang Liu hanging up a placard under the tree, and now theyâve probably gone somewhere else to visit.â
