While Li Qian and Liu Qingqing were chatting about home matters over there, Yang Yi, on the other side, genuinely had no idea which of the three buildings before him was the second one. So, he intended to find someone to ask, but it seemed his timing was terrible. This period was reserved for eating, bathing, and recreational time, so almost no female students were visible in the women’s dormitory area.

"Damn it, I’m done for, done for. Could I actually be lost? Damn it…" Yang Yi stood beneath a tall building, gazing up, feeling a little dizzy as he muttered to himself.

After grumbling, Yang Yi paced back and forth, unable to find any solid reference point, like a blind vulture crashing about aimlessly. It couldn't be helped; although Yang Yi was a rogue, he still had to maintain a man's integrity. After all, it was his mistake, and an apology was due. Moreover, he had endured immense hardship just to get in here. Recalling that repulsive, fat woman, Yang Yi felt an unexplainable flicker of defiance, so he kept searching.

After circling among the three buildings, he suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, murmuring, "What the hell, am I this lucky?"

A sound like "Swish… swish!" carried a slightly secretive air. If Yang Yi hadn't misheard, misjudged, or misperceived, the room to his immediate front-left should have someone bathing. "Look? Or don't look?"

Yang Yi intensely suppressed the struggle within his heart. Looking felt rather sleazy, but not looking felt like letting himself down. "Hell, what’s wrong with looking? Buddha says: Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. It's the same as if I never saw it, hehe!"

The person finally overcame that last shred of rational restraint against peeking. With light steps, he sprang to the window of the room. Gazing at the glass veiled in steam and looking somewhat hazy, he cautiously prepared to crack open a tiny gap to observe the beautiful scene before him—but the window seemed locked.

"Damn! It’s so blurry, how am I supposed to see? Unjust!" Yang Yi cursed inwardly. He gently touched the window. Although he still couldn't see clearly, the figure of the girl bathing inside was fully revealed. While her face was obscured, preventing confirmation of her beauty, he could at least make out a figure with skin so fair and tender it made one spit blood.

"Hoo, hoo, damn, this girl’s figure is too good. Holy crap, at least a B-cup! Turn around, turn around, turn around!" The fellow was already panting heavily, clearly quite excited. But one couldn't blame him; after all, he was still a virgin. Damn it, even though he’d seen many female bodies, he had never actually done it.

The more he thought, the more unjust it seemed. Just as Yang Yi felt his lower body swelling and his eyes lighting up, the bathing beauty seemed to sense something. Instinctively, she glanced toward the window. Seeing nothing immediately, she just noticed that the window curtain hadn't been fully drawn and approached it. "Hmm, am I being overly suspicious?"

The beauty frowned, her pure, lovely lips slightly pouted, then she dismissed the thought. However, leaning against the wall, sitting on the floor and panting heavily, Yang Yi couldn't help but feel how close he had come to being caught. "Alas, it’s unjust; I can't watch anymore. But that girl’s voice was truly sweet. Hmph, I’ve decided. I want her to be my woman, hehe! My spring has finally arrived! My virgin life finally has a chance to be broken! Damn it, so there are benefits to coming here to apologize. Ha!"

Yang Yi wore a smug expression, daydreaming. In reality, the beauty currently bathing inside was truly wronged, having been arbitrarily marked as his woman, Yang Yi, and having her bath spied upon. Although he couldn't see clearly, he still managed to peek—it was simply unjust, heaven was unfair...

"Qianqian, did you this noon..." Liu Qingqing asked cautiously.

"Enough, Qingqing, don't bring it up!" As soon as Liu Qingqing mentioned the midday incident, Li Qian felt an inexplicable wave of panic, clearly showing her extreme reluctance to speak of that matter again.

"Oh... If that’s the case, alright, alright, I won't mention it!" Liu Qingqing smiled sweetly and then said, "Qianqian, why don't we go eat together? I bet you’re hungry too."

"No appetite!" Li Qian pouted.

"Let’s go! How can you have no appetite? Come on, I’ll take you out to eat, and we can get some fresh air!" Liu Qingqing knew Li Qian was still very sensitive about the afternoon incident, so she inwardly mused, Who was that fellow who dared to molest Qianqian this noon? How audacious, to even flirt with the principal's granddaughter! And judging by Qianqian's demeanor, she seems unwilling to pursue it. Hmm, that guy...

Just as Liu Qingqing was lost in these vague thoughts, Li Qian glanced at Liu Qingqing, whose eyes were wide as she drifted off into her own musings, and immediately cut her off: "Let’s go, we’ll go eat together!"

"Ah... Oh! Okay!" Liu Qingqing jumped, startled, a flush rising on her face. She knew Li Qian had seen through her. She let out a slightly awkward laugh and pulled Li Qian toward the door.

Li Qian and Liu Qingqing chatted and laughed as they walked, though Li Qian’s laughter sounded more like a wry smile than genuine amusement.

"Qianqian, what do you want to eat?" Liu Qingqing asked.

"How about stewed fish? Is that okay?" Li Qian’s mood had slightly improved thanks to her close friend’s coaxing.

"Mmm, stewed fish, it’s nutritious and very tasty. I like that too. Alright, Qianqian, let’s have a big meal today, stewed fish..."

Before the words had fully left her mouth, a figure suddenly bumped into them from around the corner; "Ah...!"

"Qingqing!" Li Qian quickly helped Liu Qingqing up. "Who is that? Can't people watch where they’re walking?"

"Uh, sorry, I didn’t mean to..." Just as the person was about to apologize.

Suddenly, Li Qian’s expression shifted, and she exclaimed in surprise, "It’s you?"

"It’s you? Perfect timing. I was just looking for you."

Indeed, the person who bumped them was Yang Yi. However, this time he wasn't as lucky as before; he didn't collide with Li Qian and didn't get any advantage. Upon hearing the familiar voice, Yang Yi realized it was Li Qian, and he thought, Perfect timing. But since he had bumped into someone again this time, he felt he should apologize to that person first.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it."

"It’s fine, it’s fine." Liu Qingqing’s mind was in turmoil. That unfamiliar male aura invaded her senses, making her feel a strange tingle, but momentarily confusion followed. She saw he was a boy, and it seemed he knew Li Qian. She couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Boys aren't allowed in here. How did you get in? Could it be..."

"Wuuu!" Just as Liu Qingqing was about to cry out, Li Qian quickly covered her mouth and said, "Don't shout! He’s a classmate of mine!"

"Ah... Qianqian, you know him?" Liu Qingqing asked, her face filled with surprise. After asking, she couldn't help but examine Yang Yi. His face was somewhat pale and vulnerable, his short hair a mess, and his simple, casual clothes looked a bit thin. At first glance, he was easily overlooked, but the longer she looked, the more appealing he seemed. Moreover, he appeared to exude a unique aura—an aura that felt somewhat dangerous, somewhat roguish, somewhat...
