Chapter 70: A Little Scheme
Su Moyu took the breakfast with a bright smile.
“Aren’t you cold wearing so little?” Bai Shuchuan asked softly.
Su Moyu pulled her coat tighter around herself and pressed her lips together.
“You came so early to bring breakfast. How would I have time to change? I just woke up,” she said with a small huff. Then she looked at the food in her hands. Two meat buns, a cup of soy milk, and a tea egg.
“Didn’t wash your face or brush your teeth?” Bai Shuchuan asked again.
Her cheeks immediately turned a little red. “Why do you always focus on things like that?”
Bai Shuchuan seemed to realize his words were not very appropriate. “I was just asking.”
Su Moyu had originally wanted to secretly give him a kiss while there were not many people around in the morning.
But after what he said, she felt a bit embarrassed.
Whatever.
Without thinking twice, Su Moyu stepped forward, stood on her toes, and lightly kissed his cheek.
Bai Shuchuan smiled and naturally reached out to pat her head.
“Go back and eat your breakfast first,” he said. “Hurry and get ready for class later.”
Su Moyu frowned slightly. The way he acted somehow felt like a dad bringing breakfast to his daughter.
“Thank you, Brother Shuchuan,” she said with a playful smile, purposely using a sweet and soft tone.
Bai Shuchuan felt a bit awkward, but at the same time, something soft in his heart was touched.
Looking at her sweet smile, that warm feeling rose again.
“What, now you’re not saying I sound too cute anymore? Hmm?” Su Moyu teased.
“Actually, after getting used to it, it feels pretty nice.”
“Tch, men,” Su Moyu said with mock disdain.
Well… if a girl like her called him “brother,” he probably wouldn’t be able to resist either.
“See you later,” Su Moyu said, then turned and walked back into the dorm building. On the way, she ran into Qu Xintong coming down the stairs.
“Hi,” Su Moyu greeted her cheerfully.
Qu Xintong looked a bit flustered by the sudden greeting.
“H-hello,” she replied.
As they passed each other, Su Moyu felt that Qu Xintong was actually quite cute.
A kind of simple, slightly clumsy cuteness.
Su Moyu walked back to the dorm and sat down to enjoy her breakfast.
“Will Brother Shuchuan bring me breakfast every day from now on?” she sent him a message.
“Mm, I will,” Bai Shuchuan replied.
Su Moyu suddenly felt her heart beat faster, and her cheeks slowly turned red.
Seriously, how did she get charmed again like this?
She really felt that something was changing about her.
Why did she feel just like a girl deeply in love?
Thinking about it, she suddenly realized something.
She had already said so many sweet and clingy things to him, even sticking close to him, hugging and kissing him… wasn’t that already what being in love felt like?
After finishing breakfast, she quickly got ready and then realized a serious problem.
White stockings might look very attractive, but they were not easy to wash.
She took out another dress from the closet and decided to wear it today.
Hehe… choosing to wear a dress like this… she had a little plan in mind.
…………………
By the time Su Moyu arrived at the classroom, it was already around 7:50.
She sat together with Bai Shuchuan and a few of her former roommates. Although Bai Shuchuan had good grades in college, for this kind of class, he usually relaxed a bit and didn’t take it too seriously.
After finishing the tiring PE class, Su Moyu ate with Bai Shuchuan, and then it was time for the afternoon lab.
It seemed to be about preparing polymer materials. Su Moyu didn’t remember much about it. After all, since being reborn, the timeline had changed, and it seemed she had missed about a month of lessons.
The lab groups were arranged based on student numbers. Su Moyu was grouped with Qu Xintong, and by coincidence, Bai Shuchuan was right across from them at another lab table, paired with another girl.
That made sense, her gender had changed now, so she was placed among the girls, while Bai Shuchuan ended up as the first among the boys.
Su Moyu didn’t think much about it. Seeing Qu Xintong listening seriously to the lesson beside her, she secretly felt happy.
So nice. Having a top student as a partner meant no worries about the experiment.
So she relaxed and just helped Qu Xintong during the experiment.
“Hey, the girl with long hair, tie your hair up during the experiment.”
The lab instructor called out, and only then did Su Moyu realize her hair was still loose.
“Xiao Tong, do you have a hair tie?” she asked, turning to Qu Xintong for help.
Qu Xintong quickly took one out of her pocket and handed it to her.
Luckily, Su Moyu acted quickly and didn’t delay the experiment. If she had slowed down her dear partner Qu Xintong, she would have felt really guilty.
“Shuchuan~ pass me the beaker.”
When Su Moyu heard the soft voice of Bai Shuchuan’s partner, her expression immediately became strange.
She looked up at Bai Shuchuan and saw him casually hand the girl a beaker.
She had worked with this girl before…
Her name was Xie Anqi, and she always spoke in that kind of gentle tone…
“Thank you!” Xie Anqi said with a smile.
“No problem,” Bai Shuchuan replied calmly.
“Then you prepare that solution, and I’ll set up the equipment.”
“No problem.”
Su Moyu stared at Bai Shuchuan for quite a while, looking a bit unhappy.
But he didn’t notice her gaze at all.
She looked away, and at that moment, Qu Xintong lightly tapped her shoulder.
“Can you help me prepare a sodium hydroxide solution?” Qu Xintong asked softly, as if she didn’t want to disturb her.
“Okay,” Su Moyu replied, though she felt a little uncomfortable inside.
Even though Bai Shuchuan hadn’t done anything wrong, with her imagination, she couldn’t help thinking about some exaggerated scenes.
Sometimes girls are like this. They can get upset over things they imagine themselves.
She quickly handed the prepared beaker to Qu Xintong. Seeing Bai Shuchuan so focused on his work made her feel a bit down.
Of course, she knew she was being a bit unreasonable. She couldn’t just ask him to come over and comfort her right now.
She told herself to focus on the experiment. Anyway, after it was over, she could complain a little to Bai Shuchuan, and he would probably say something nice to comfort her…
Wait, no, no, she should act a little cute first so he wouldn’t be able to resist…
“Susu, that’s sulfuric acid!!!”
