5: You'd better be as good-looking in real life as your suit.

"Hey, why are you so zen today?" Hao Junran squinted at him. "Normally, you're more proactive than anyone when you see a beautiful girl. Have you changed your ways today?"

Yu Heng closed his eyes, pretending to yawn. "If you want to chase her, just go. Stop babbling."

Could Hao Junran succeed in chasing her?

Forget it, what did it have to do with him? After being reborn, why should he care who his ex-wife was with?

The instructor's whistle suddenly blew sharply: "Break over! Everyone stand up! Continue practicing marching in step!"

A wail went through the crowd. Yu Heng reluctantly got up, patting the dust off his butt.

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

Hao Junran grabbed Yu Heng: "Let's go! Come with me to ask for her WeChat! Give me some courage!"

"Get lost, don't drag me into your cowardice." Yu Heng shook him off. "I'm going back to the dorm to play dead."

"Don't be like that!" Hao Junran said shamelessly. "How embarrassing if I get rejected. If you're there, I can say I'm asking for you."

Yu Heng was dragged by him towards the dance department.

He Mengyao was packing up with a few girls, ready to leave. Hao Junran rushed forward in a sprint, putting on a smile: "Hello, classmate! Can I add you on WeChat?"

Yu Heng stood a few steps away, watching.

He Mengyao frowned slightly, saying politely but distantly, "Sorry, I don't add strangers on WeChat."

Hao Junran still didn't give up: "Don't be like that, we're all new students, let's be friends!"

He Mengyao glanced at him and walked away.

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow. So aloof?

It wasn't that exaggerated when he asked for her WeChat.

Hao Junran ran back dejectedly: "Damn, I couldn't even get her WeChat!"

Yu Heng scoffed, hands in his pockets, walking towards the dorm: "I told you not to go, you're just asking for trouble. Let's go, time to eat!"

The two returned to the dorm, where the other two roommates had already turned on their computers and started gaming.

"You two are quick," Hao Junran said.

"Coming? We need two more for a five-man team," Liu Tianqi said, tilting his head.

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

"Hurry up, this game is almost over!" Hou Xudong said, then looked at Yu Heng, "Yu Heng, coming?"

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

Seeing it was 7 o'clock, he put on his headphones, ready to watch some live streams.

A video call suddenly popped up on WeChat from Shen Yueling.

Yu Heng was stunned for a moment, then pressed answer.

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

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

"Otherwise?" Yu Heng pointed the camera at the ceiling. "What's up?"

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

Yu Heng cursed inwardly. When did she say she was going to the library with him?

"She must have remembered wrong?" Yu Heng pouted. "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 accompany me to buy something."

Yu Heng almost laughed out loud: "Big sister, I'm dog-tired from military training, can't you find someone else?"

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

Yu Heng looked at his phone, damn, this woman was still so domineering.

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

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

Yu Heng frowned as he looked at it. Was Ning Yutong a bit of a 'white-cut-black'?

He put on his clothes and left the dorm.

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

"Let's go," she said faintly.

"What are we buying? Do I really need to come all the way here?" Yu Heng followed her into the supermarket.

Shen Yueling walked ahead, her tone flat, but what she said was a bit abrupt: "Ning Yutong seems to be looking for you a lot lately."

"Is she?" Yu Heng played dumb. "Not really, is it?"

Shen Yueling suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at him: "You two had rumors in high school, and now you're in the same school again, so are you two going to date?"

"Those were just rumors spread by others." Yu Heng interrupted her. "When did you become so gossipy?"

Shen Yueling didn't reply and continued walking forward.

Yu Heng looked at her back, wondering in his heart that this woman was a bit abnormal today.

She was usually aloof to the extreme, but today she actually brought this up herself.

Walking to the beverage section, Shen Yueling picked up a pack of mineral water and handed it to him: "Help me carry this."

Yu Heng took the water, unable to resist asking, "You called me out just to buy this?"

"No?" Shen Yueling glanced at him.

"Are you curious about what's going on between her and me?" Yu Heng said with a grin.

"Not at all, I just thought carrying a pack of mineral water would be 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?"

"Jealous of what?" Shen Yueling glared at her.

"Really not? Ever since that last incident, you..." Yu Heng's words were cut off by her.

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

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

"You could refuse." Shen Yueling looked him directly in the eyes.

Yu Heng felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and shifted his eyes: "I'm just used to it."

As soon as he said that, both fell silent.

From knowing each other since they were toddlers, Yu Heng had indeed rarely refused her requests.

"Let's go." Shen Yueling suddenly turned around. "Check out."

Yu Heng looked at her retreating figure, feeling inexplicably confused.

What was wrong with this woman today?

Did she take the wrong medicine?

Yu Heng carried the pack of mineral water, following behind Shen Yueling towards the dorm area.

"So, why did you buy water?" Yu Heng quickened his pace, walking alongside her. "Don't dorm buildings have water dispensers on every floor?"

Shen Yueling looked straight ahead, her tone unchanging: "To drink."

She just wanted to find an excuse to order Yu Heng around.

"…" Yu Heng was rendered speechless by her single word. "Fine, you're awesome."

Upon reaching the girls' dorm building, Shen Yueling stopped and turned to take the water from his hand.

"I'm going up," she said.

"That's it?" Yu Heng looked at her.

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

"Give me a kiss as payment?" Yu Heng said, looking at her, then immediately ran off before she could react, "Just kidding!"

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

"Rat! Can you even play?! Flashing in to feed?!" Liu Tianqi yelled, pounding the table.

"I wanted to flank the backline! Who knew their support was camping there?!" Hao Junran's voice was even louder.

Hou Xudong played peacemaker: "Alright, alright, one wave, one wave, we can win, we can win..."

"Damn it! This guy must be cheating?!" Hao Junran pounded the table.

"If you're bad, practice more!" Liu Tianqi said without looking back. "Where did Yu Heng go?"

"Being a coolie." Yu Heng took off his jacket, climbed onto his bed, and put on his headphones.

He opened Bilibili, and Night Lingyuan was indeed live streaming.

It was still that flamboyant skin, playing a single-player horror game, occasionally screaming when scared.

Yu Heng watched for a while, finding it boring.

He switched out and opened Night Lingyuan's QQ.

Yu Heng: Are you there?

A few minutes later, a reply came.

Night Lingyuan: I'm live streaming, boss~ Anything up?

Yu Heng: Saturday night at 6 PM, first floor of Canteen Two, don't forget.

Night Lingyuan: Got it! Won't forget (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Yu Heng: I hope you're as stunning in real life as your skin.

Night Lingyuan: ???

Yu Heng: Haha, see you Saturday.

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