Back at the dormitory, Su Ning took a hot shower and blow dried her hair, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

The way Lin Yu looked at her made her feel frightened.

"444, are you hiding something from me?"

【444 (sobbing): DaDa, you're the one hiding things from me! Ying ying ying...】

(TL: Ying (嘤) is an onomatopoeic word which sounds like someone crying out loud.)

Su Ning wisely closed her mouth.

Lin Yu rushed into the dormitory, put down the stack of books in her hand and fished out the cell phone that kept ringing, "Brother, what's up?"

A cup was knocked over by the books, and Su Ning picked it up for her.

Lin Yu, however, couldn't believe what she heard and cast a strange look at Su Ning before replying to the phone. "Brother, why are you looking for Su Ning?"

Su Ning was dumbfounded. Lin Yu's older brother is Lin Yu.

(TL: So Su Ning's roommate is named Lín Yǔ (林语) while her brother, and the one who the original body owner liked, is named Lín Yù (林御) I'm guessing they're twins or something? It kind of confused me at first. So when both of them appear in the same chapter, I'll make the brother like this  (italicized)--> Lin Yu, and the sister and roommate like this (bolded + italicized) --> Lin Yu)

Under her suspicious gaze, Su Ning took the phone handed over, "Brother Lin Yu, is there something wrong?"

Lin Yu's voice sounded from the other end of the phone. "I have something to tell you in person, so come to the old library. I'll wait for you there." After a pause, he added, "One hour. If you don't come in one hour, I'll wait for you downstairs at your dormitory building."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving her any room to refuse.

"Oh the printout! Thank you, brother Lin Yu!"

Su Ning returned the phone to Lin Yu, smiled, and said: "Beforehand, I had borrowed Brother Lin Yu's math exercises so I could make a photocopy."

"Oh..." Lin Yu nodded, pulled her to the balcony and hesitantly said: "I don't know if I should tell you this..."

"Tell me what?"

"Uhm." Lin Yu thought about it and decided to tell her, "Around noon, when I came back to the dorm, YueYue was on the phone in the toilet and I think I heard her say Wei Qing..."

"Why would YueYue call Wei Qing?"

"No idea!" Lin Yu shook her head and started peeling a tangerine. "And I heard your name!"

···

Su Ning didn't continue to think about Zhang Yue calling Wei Qing and only frowned while looking at the time displayed on the watch.

What's wrong with this Lin Yu? She's not his ideal type, so it makes no sense that she would arouse his interest. The original body had only been secretly in love before, and even her roommate Lin Yu didn't know that the original body was secretly in love with her brother.

Lin Yu's attitude towards the original body has always been cold.

So could it be that she's thinking too much...

Old library.

Su Ning came on time.

Lin Yu was standing next to the bookshelf and was browsing through a history book.

"Brother Lin Yu, what did you want to say?"

Lin Yu put down the book. Beneath his gold-rimmed glasses, he looked at her with light brown eyes and took out a pink letter from the pages of the book. The big heart on the letter roused Su Ning's memory of staying up all night to write that love letter.

Wei Qing actually gave the letter to Lin Yu? She thought he would tear it into pieces and throw it into the trash!

Back then to prevent Wei Qing from opening the letter, Su Ning had to make a great effort to think of every kind of corny girly sentence to scrape enough together to make two full pages!

She can still vaguely remember a few phrases:

'You are the brightest moon in the sky.'

'I stand by the edge of the well to scoop the moon out of the water.'

'In the dead of night, your face will always accompany me to sleep...'

'I wish to leave by riding the wind.'

and so on...

She didn't dare to look it over after writing it and sending it out.

The envelope showed signs of being opened.

Su Ning's face instantly turned red.

Shame, ah shame! When I was writing it, all I was thinking about was Wei Qing's sullen face when he would see it. How could I have guessed the letter would have ended up in the hands of the male lead, Lin Yu?

Su Ning, ah, Su Ning, how could you do such a stupid thing?!

Su Ning's lifelong legendary reputation was ruined by this love letter...

"This is... actually I..." Su Ning's wished to dig a hole to hide in. "If I said that I randomly wrote that letter..." Would you believe me? These four words could not be uttered.
