Chapter 1: My Heart Already Belongs to Senior Sister
August 30th, in the sweltering Hangzhou.
Jiang Miao stepped out of his dormitory and looked at the time. It was fifteen minutes to two in the afternoon. He shouldn’t be late.
The two days of the weekend were the orientation days for new students. Jiang Miao arrived early at the School of Business to register. He was still the only one in his dorm room, and his three future roommates for the next four years had yet to arrive.
For Jiang Miao, who aspired to ultimate freedom in the comfort of his home, there had to be a reason why he stepped out into the scorching heat instead of staying in the cool dormitory to write.
Because he was meeting someone.
As for who he was meeting, it was definitely not a beautiful female classmate but a loyal novel fan of his.
While walking, he took out his phone and looked at their chat history.
[Congee Boss]: I’m going to the Department of Accounting in the afternoon to deliver some documents to a teacher. Let’s meet there, okay? I’ll show you around campus.
[Peach Jam]: OK, what time?
[Congee Boss]: Around two. Let me know when you arrive.[Peach Jam]: Okay.
The Department of Accounting… Jiang Miao walked out of the dormitory area and headed towards the school, planning to ask for directions when he arrived.
As for Congee Boss, he was naturally Jiang Miao’s loyal novel fan.
The reason his previous novel went from a lackluster 160 subscriptions to an average of 1,500 subscriptions at the end, at least half of the credit should go to Congee Boss.
In addition to adding him as a friend to encourage him, Congee Boss had also personally drawn all kinds of illustrations, as well as detailed character portraits, for him to insert into his novel for everyone to appreciate.
In particular, the exquisite illustrations of the female lead, the adorable catgirl, and the fox-like sister-in-law directly captivated a group of men of culture.
Therefore, Jiang Miao had always been very grateful to Congee Boss.
Later, while chatting, Congee Boss learned that Jiang Miao had been accepted into university, and the two of them discovered that they would be attending the same school and faculty.
In that case, they definitely had to meet up.
Jiang Miao really wanted to thank this novel fan and school senior in person.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Miao arrived at the south gate of the school and happened to see a female student in front. He quickly approached her and asked politely, “Hello, Senior Sister. May I know how to get to the Department of Accounting?”
“Huh?” The senior sister turned around and narrowed her eyes in puzzlement, as though she was trying to see Jiang Miao’s face clearly. Then she replied gently, “I’m heading there too. You can follow me.”
“Thank you, Senior Sister.”
After thanking her, Jiang Miao followed her on her left and turned his head to size her up casually.
The senior sister was dressed neatly in a clean white T-shirt and capri pants. Her figure was slender and graceful.
In particular, her straight and slender legs were well-proportioned and harmonious under the capri pants. The glimpse of her fair and alluring ankles between her white sneakers and pants left Jiang Miao feeling a bit regretful.
If only she was wearing a skirt…
It was such a hot day.
When she turned her head back to reply just now, Jiang Miao had only glanced at her briefly, and the only impression was that she was beautiful.
Now, walking alongside her, thanks to her high ponytail, Jiang Miao could clearly appreciate half of her exquisite face and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye.
Am I this lucky? I can meet such a beautiful senior sister just by walking around. Or are all the girls in the School of Business this attractive?
It would be great if he could get this senior sister to show him around the school. Congee Boss should just go to the side.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Miao stole another glance.
He wasn’t being lecherous. He was simply collecting material.
After all, as an aspiring homebody writer, romance was out of the question.
With that time and effort, wouldn’t it be better to write a few more chapters?
Romance was just too troublesome.
Just as Jiang Miao was collecting material with his eyes, Senior Sister suddenly asked, “Are you a new student of the Department of Accounting?”
Jiang Miao was taken aback for a moment before looking away guiltily. “Ah, yes.”
“May I ask which class you’re in?” Senior Sister smiled gently at him. “You should already know your class assignment by now, right?”
“Yes, I’m in Accounting Class 2.”
“Class 2? That’s quite a coincidence.” Senior Sister’s smile became even more beautiful. “I’m your class assistant.”
“Class assistant?”
“During the start of university, we are seniors who will help you become familiar with the school and assist the counselors in handling some matters concerning new students,” Senior Sister explained patiently. “Another senior and I are the class assistants of Class 2 this time.”
“I see.” Jiang Miao nodded and returned the smile. “Thank you in advance, Senior Sister.”
“No problem. I could have shown you around campus, but I have an appointment. Sorry.” Senior Sister smiled apologetically.
“It’s fine. I’m actually going to the Department of Accounting to meet another senior who will show me around.”
“That’s good.” Senior Sister nodded and pointed at a building not far away. “Here we are.”
When they arrived at the entrance of the Department of Accounting, Senior Sister walked towards the elevator and waved at Jiang Miao. “I’m going to find the teacher. See you at our class meeting tomorrow night.”
“Okay, goodbye, Senior Sister.”
After bidding farewell to Senior Sister, Jiang Miao stood not far from the elevator doors and sighed with emotion. Are all senior sisters in university so gentle?
She was polite, pleasant to talk to, and so beautiful too. It was simply against the rules.
If not for his strong will, he might have already asked her for her WeChat.
Unfortunately, even if he really considered dating, he would definitely look for someone younger.
At least someone his age, right?
Wait, no. Writers don’t have time for love!
After reaffirming his faith, Jiang Miao took out his phone and opened QQ.
[Peach Jam]: Boss, I’m here at the entrance of the Department of Accounting.
[Congee Boss]: Hold on a moment~ I just arrived at the office. I’ll come down after handing in the documents!
[Peach Jam]: Okay, I’ll wait for you by the statue at the entrance.
After sending the message, Jiang Miao went to the statue at the entrance and waited, imagining what Congee Boss looked like.
He had heard that artists were usually sloppy. Maybe it was a decadent senior.
Or a fat otaku?
Could he be the other class assistant?
Jiang Miao’s thoughts jumped around, and he suddenly thought of this.
After all, Senior Sister happened to be looking for a teacher, so she might be with Congee Boss.
Hmm… That would be awesome. Being a class assistant with such a good-looking and nice senior sister, just thinking about it makes me envious.
If Congee Boss was really the other class assistant with Senior Sister, then Jiang Miao absolutely had to mooch a few more racy illustrations from him.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard the sound of the elevator door opening behind him.
He turned around and saw the beautiful Senior Sister walk out.
This time, Jiang Miao was standing directly in front of her, completely stunned by her beauty again.
She had a straight nose bridge, rosy lips, fair skin, bright and gentle peach blossom eyes, and a captivating teardrop mole at the corner of her eye.
Her height of at least 1.7 meters made her look tall. She was only half a head shorter than Jiang Miao. Standing beside him, she even gave the illusion that she was taller.
But why is she standing beside me? After admiring her, Jiang Miao suddenly realized this question.
“Junior Brother, are you waiting for someone?” Senior Senior asked casually while smoothing her hair and looking around the sculpture in the lobby on the first floor.
“Yes, my senior said he’s in the office.” Jiang Miao took out his phone and checked it. There was still no message from Congee Boss, so he guessed he was still with the teacher.
“Oh, did you see a girl enter just now?” Senior Sister asked while taking out her phone.
“No, it’s just me,” Jiang Miao replied. Senior Sister was waiting for a girl. He had assumed she was waiting for her boyfriend or someone similar.
Senior Sister paused briefly and scanned the lobby again. Then she looked at Jiang Miao, and her eyes gradually became strange.
[Congee Boss]: Make sure you’re in the right place. The Department of Accounting is in the first building beside the library.
[Peach Jam]: I’m definitely in the right place. I came with a senior sister who went the same way.
When Senior Sister saw Peach Jam’s reply, the strange expression on her face became even weirder. She glanced at Jiang Miao beside her, her mouth twitching as if she was trying not to laugh.
[Peach Jam]: Where are you? Aren’t you coming down yet?
[Peach Jam]: What’s taking so long? Isn’t it just handing in some documents?
Hearing the message prompt, Senior Sister pondered for a moment before her eyes glowed with mischief as she tapped her phone screen to reply.
[Congee Boss]: Sorry, the teacher asked me to help with something… Why don’t you go explore on your own for a bit?
[Peach Jam]: Boss, you’re killing me here. How long will it take?
[Congee Boss]: Lots of stuff pops up right after school starts. It’ll probably take another half an hour.
[Congee Boss]: Now, I’m afraid he’ll dump more work on me.
[Peach Jam]: …
Jiang Miao was speechless and subconsciously glanced at Senior Sister beside him. From the looks of it, it seemed like she hadn’t met the person she was waiting for either.
[Peach Jam]: Forget it. I’ll just wander around by myself first. Tell me when you’re done.
[Congee Boss]: OK, I’ll buy you bubble tea to apologize later!
After ending the chat, Jiang Miao put away his phone and prepared to leave.
But politeness came first. Before leaving, he symbolically chatted with Senior Sister and bid her farewell. “Senior Sister, hasn’t the person you’re waiting for arrived yet?”
“Yeah, but there’s no need to wait anymore.” Senior Sister put away her phone and smiled helplessly. “My friend had something come up at the last minute, so I got stood up.”
“… What a coincidence.” Jiang Miao chuckled. “I got stood up too, so I guess I can only walk around the campus by myself.”
“Is that so?” Senior Sister suddenly moved closer to Jiang Miao, her exquisite face very close. She blinked. “Do you need a guide?”
Jiang Miao was so startled by the sudden closeness that he instinctively took a step back. But having someone show him around would definitely be more convenient. “If it’s not troublesome, that would be great.”
But why did she suddenly get so close? Jiang Miao was a bit caught off guard and only smelled a pleasant fragrance from Senior Sister.
“Sorry, I’m very nearsighted. I can’t see well standing here.” Senior Sister stepped back and smiled. “I’ll remember now. Junior Brother, you’re quite good-looking.”
“Uh… thank you.” Jiang Miao avoided Senior Sister’s gaze, and his heart inexplicably beat faster. “Senior Senior, you’re also very good-looking.”
“Thank you for the compliment.” Senior Sister smiled happily. She took out her phone, opened WeChat, and showed her QR code to Jiang Miao. “Why don’t we add each other on WeChat?”
“Okay.” Jiang Miao nodded. He scanned the QR code and added her. Then he received a message from her.
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: I am Su Huaizhou.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: I am Jiang Miao.
After exchanging messages, Jiang Miao heard Senior Sister say, “Jiang Miao, your name has a poetic charm.”
“Senior Sister, your name sounds beautiful too.”
“Let’s stop complimenting each other. Let’s go.” Su Huaizhou put away her phone, waved at him with a smile, and walked out the door.
“Okay.” Jiang Miao followed Senior Sister out while sending a message to Congee Boss.
[Peach Jam]: Goodbye, Congee Boss. I have a senior sister now. I don’t need you anymore
[Congee Boss]: ???
[Congee Boss]: Where did you get a senior sister?
[Peach Jam]: You don’t have to worry about that. Anyway, my heart already belongs to the beautiful senior sister. Boss, stay aside for now
[Congee Boss]: How beautiful?
[Peach Jam]: Super incredible universe-level beautiful!
[Congee Boss]: Really? Has your heart started fluttering?
[Peach Jam]: No way. I’m a firm believer in staying single. I just admire this senior sister. That’s all.
[Congee Boss]: Do you think I’d believe your nonsense?
[Peach Jam]: Okay, I can actually get inspiration. I think I can learn many new terms from this senior sister.
[Congee Boss]: You’re just lusting after her body
[Peach Jam]: I’m not explaining anymore. I’m off to tour the campus with my senior sister
Just as Jiang Miao finished chatting and was about to put away his phone, he saw Senior Sister Su, who was walking in front, turn around and look at him with a faint smile. She tilted her head and asked, “Chatting with your girlfriend?”
“I don’t have a girlfriend.” Jiang Miao spread his hands. “I told you.”
“Oh~” Su Huaizhou nodded with a smile and led him to Swan Lake in front of the school building. “Then, I’ll bring you around the campus. Our place is quite small, and it’ll only take half an hour to walk around.”
Jiang Miao followed Senior Sister along the pathways of the School of Business. They walked past Swan Lake, passed through a small grove that was empty during the day, and arrived at the asphalt road on the east side. They saw the east field and identified the entrances of the various schools and departments.
They passed by the library and saw the Friendship Forest in the north, though the students preferred to call this small hill Lover’s Slope.
The reason was self-evident.
Afterwards, they visited the gymnasium and swimming pool, passed by four academic buildings, a multipurpose building for large events, and two cafeterias.
Finally, the two of them returned to the library in the center of the School of Business and sat down in the outdoor lounge area on the first floor to rest.
Senior Sister said she needed to use the restroom, so Jiang Miao took out his phone and immediately received a message from Congee Boss.
[Congee Boss]: How are things going with your senior sister?
[Peach Jam]: We just walked around the campus.
[Congee Boss]: Didn’t you do anything fun?
[Peach Jam]: It’s only the first day we met. What are you thinking?
[Congee Boss]: Do you know her name? I might know her.
[Peach Jam]: Su Huaizhou. Do you know her?
[Congee Boss]: Ah~ Her~ (realization.jpg)
[Peach Jam]: Is there a story?
[Congee Boss]: She is recognized as the most beautiful girl in the School of Business!
[Peach Jam]: ???
[Peach Jam]: Do normal schools have a recognized most beautiful girl?
[Congee Boss]: Why not? Don’t you think Su Huaizhou is beautiful?
[Peach Jam]: Yes.
[Congee Boss]: How beautiful?
[Peach Jam]: So beautiful she outshines the moon and makes flowers blush
[Congee Boss]: You’re quite good with words
[Congee Boss]: What about her personality? What do you think?
[Peach Jam]: Considerate, gentle, generous. It’s comfortable being around her.
[Congee Boss]: Hmm, anything else? Tell me more.
[Peach Jam]: Uh… Are you sick? I’m not praising you.
“Here, your bubble tea.”
While Jiang Miao was chatting, Senior Sister placed a cup of bubble tea on the table.
“Ah, thank you, Senior Sister.” Jiang Miao took it and quickly thanked her. “How much is it?”
“Talking about money hurts relationships, you know.” Su Huaizhou smiled, seeming in a good mood. She bit the straw of her cup of bubble tea and said, “It’s my treat, Junior Brother.”
