The next day, with her hair in disarray, Lu Youyou woke up from her dreams. She stretched lazily, her eyes still half-closed, and began to grope around her bed. Finally, she found her phone under the covers. The screen lit up to reveal it was seven in the morning. Lu Youyou felt a wave of relief wash over her; there was still an hour until school, plenty of time.
While a sparse population might indicate a societal crisis, it also meant less competition. At least for high school students like Ju Jie, classes generally started at eight.
Lu Youyou let out a long yawn, wanting to go back to sleep but knowing she couldn’t. Frustrated, she pounded her pillow. After spending so much time reading about explosive cases and thinking about Xu Lie, she found herself unusually restless despite having had decent sleep the night before.
Lack of sleep significantly affected Lu Youyou's mood as she lowered her voice to complain, "Ahhh! Damn you, Xu Lie! I hope there won't be a next time!"
The comments rolled in:
"Here we go again for another seven days; Third Episode is here!"
"Laughing so hard—did Male Second Lead really keep Lu Youyou up all night?"
"You can tell Lu Youyou was torn all night, probably wavering between reporting and protecting him, but ultimately chose to protect him."
"It's tragic; I just want to say the male lead is pitiful. Who remembers that Female Second Lead is matched with him? She clearly has feelings for Male Second Lead."
Unaware of the camera or the comments, Lu Youyou went through her morning routine in a daze. After a simple wash and breakfast, she said goodbye to her family and walked to school, feeling somewhat detached from her surroundings.
Her mind wandered repeatedly—one moment she thought of Xu Lie’s indifferent expression during the arson incident; the next moment she recalled him tearfully recounting his sister's tragic experiences. Occasionally, images of urgent police investigations flashed through her mind.
Feeling anxious and restless, Lu Youyou endured until class ended, fidgeting in her seat and drawing the attention of her classmates. At that moment, she no longer cared about their gazes; she felt it was necessary to get in touch with Xu Lie.
Yes, it was time to contact Xu Lie. Although she had agreed to protect him because he hadn’t harmed anyone, it was crucial to keep an eye on him to prevent any further incidents!
That was it!
Convincing herself internally, Lu Youyou took out her phone only to realize with regret that she hadn’t asked Xu Lie for his contact information! After the Explosion Case yesterday, everyone had been shaken and hurriedly dispersed; Lu Youyou had returned home in a daze and hadn’t thought to ask for his number.
The information distributed by Ji University Building included contact details for potential partners. Lu Youyou had a good memory but managing to remember Xu Lie's name and face from the material given by her best friend was already pushing her limits. There was no way she could recall a series of numbers.
Should she ask her best friend?
As soon as the thought crossed Lu Youyou's mind, she quickly dismissed it. No, no, she had taken a day off yesterday to visit Ji University Building, wanting to see what her future partner might be like. Besides, Xu Lie and Lin Yuanliang were in the same class, something her best friend was aware of.
Lu Youyou hadn’t lied to Lin Yuanliang; she genuinely wanted her friend to join her, but her friend had been too shy to go along. Now, today she was thinking of asking her friend for Xu Lie's contact information? Her friend would definitely misunderstand!
With that thought in mind, Lu Youyou opened her contacts and found Lin Yuanliang's number. She had saved it last week when she received Lin Yuanliang's information.
After a moment of contemplation, she sent a text: "Hello, I’m Lu Youyou. Did you go to school today?"
Not long after, Lin Yuanliang replied: "I know. I received the information yesterday, and your number was in it. I'm at school right now. Thanks for checking in."
Oh, seeing Lin Yuanliang's response made Lu Youyou feel a bit awkward. She had intended to subtly inquire about Xu Lie but hadn’t meant to check on whether Lin Yuanliang was attending classes.
Perhaps due to the explosion they experienced yesterday, Lin Yuanliang mistakenly thought she was texting out of concern for her health? Well, whatever—she might as well go along with it: "That's good to hear! After yesterday's explosion, I imagine quite a few people from your class took the day off to rest?"
