Psst! We're moving!
Why can I only eat one jelly every day?
Why can I only see my handsome man during National Day?
Why, when I see him during National Day,
At such a happy moment, he didn’t believe that I really ate only one jelly every day :)
— From the Diary of Fairy Su Zaizai
After school in the afternoon.
Su Zaizai went back to the dormitory and took a bath first.
After washing her clothes, she used the towel around her neck to dry her hair.
She walked to the cabinet and took out her phone to check it.
Su Zaizai had sent a message to Zhang Lurang before taking a nap.
— How are your new classmates? Is the school environment good?
He just replied: Everything is fine.
Seeing this reply, although Su Zaizai felt relieved, inexplicably, she also felt a bit heavy-hearted and displeased.
She pursed her lips and directly asked: Is everything fine without me?
She waited for a while but didn’t get a reply.
Su Zaizai didn’t care and put her phone away.
Then she took the hairdryer to the laundry room to dry her hair.
Ten minutes later, Su Zaizai returned to the dormitory and put the hairdryer back in the cabinet.
Just then, she saw the screen light up.
Zhang Lurang sent a message.
— Mm.
Su Zaizai: “...”
Before she could get angry, another two words came from the other end.
— Not good.

When she walked out of the dormitory building, she realized it was raining outside.
Su Zaizai went back to the dormitory to get an umbrella.
After thinking for a moment, she walked to the cabinet and sent a few more messages to Zhang Lurang.
Su Zaizai: It’s raining here in City Z.
Su Zaizai: If it’s raining where you are, remember to bring an umbrella.
Su Zaizai: Don’t get wet in the rain.
She hesitated for a moment and finally put her phone back.
If she took it to the classroom, she would definitely be unable to resist chatting with him.
She might even influence him to bring his phone to the classroom too.
Su Zaizai didn’t think much more and went out.
Summer rain comes hurriedly, pitter-pattering on the ground.
The air mixed with the smell of earth, making people feel restless.
Su Zaizai carefully avoided puddles of various sizes on the road and went to the convenience store to buy a few pen refills.
Walking out of the convenience store, she instinctively turned her head and looked towards the direction of the school gate.
She remembered the first time she saw Zhang Lurang.
It felt like time flew by so quickly.
The time spent with him seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
She suddenly felt it was hard to bear.

Su Zaizai sat back at her seat.
She put down her backpack and reached into the bag hanging on the side of the desk to take out a jelly.
Wang Nan supported his head with one hand and leaned over to look at her.
“You really eat one every day.”
Su Zaizai tore open the top layer of packaging paper, making a “zip” sound.
The eleventh one, leaving one left in the second row.
There were still thirty-one in total.
But there were only twenty-five days left until National Day.
Did the handsome man give her an extra row...
Before she figured it out, Wang Nan beside her spoke: “Hey, give me one.”
Su Zaizai immediately refused: “No way.”
“...Su Zaizai, you’re getting stingier as you grow older.”
“...”
“Why haven’t you been talking lately?”
Su Zaizai evasively said: “I need to save my energy to study hard.”
After a while.
Wang Nan couldn’t help himself and spoke again: “Are you coming to my birthday party? We’re going to sing karaoke at Haoting.”
Upon hearing this, Su Zaizai hesitated, thinking about how to refuse.
Her handsome man told her not to hang out with other boys.
“Come on, I’m only inviting former Class 9 students. And we’re only sophomores, why be so tense?”
Su Zaizai thought for a moment and asked: “When is it?”
“Just October 3rd.”
This date instantly steadied Su Zaizai’s wavering heart, and she immediately said: “I won’t go, I have something to do.”
Wang Nan was silent for a moment and said: “What about the 4th?”
Su Zaizai lowered her head, threw the plastic shell of the jelly into a nearby garbage bag, and seriously said: “I’m busy all seven days of National Day.”
Not sure if he had that intention, Su Zaizai deliberately added:
“I’m going to spend time with my boyfriend.”

While browsing Weibo, Su Zaizai suddenly came across a sentence.
— Public funds used for banquets amount to 300 billion yuan, and our country has only 1.3 billion people. If each person gets one hundred million, there will still be 298.7 billion left. Is it necessary to be like this?
She suddenly found it very reasonable.
She long-pressed to copy and paste it to show Zhang Lurang.
Su Zaizai: These people are really too greedy.
Su Zaizai: I think the country owes me one hundred million yuan.
After sending that, Su Zaizai continued to browse Weibo.
She happened to see Jiang Jia retweeting a post and tagging her.
@Jiang Jia doesn’t eat ginger: Look at the third picture; doesn’t it look like your guy? @Very Fairy Su //@Little Bamboo: The handsome boys from each department of University B TAT Mom, I want to repeat a grade [/tears][/picture][/picture][/picture][/picture][/picture][/picture]
Su Zaizai directly tapped on the third picture and took a look.
It did seem quite similar; the contours of the facial features were about the same.
But Zhang Lurang still looked better.
Su Zaizai saved the picture and was about to send it to Zhang Lurang when he just replied: ...
Zhang Lurang: 300 billion / 1.3 billion = 230.8
Su Zaizai was momentarily stunned, raised her eyes, and checked what she had just sent.
After realizing, she didn’t feel embarrassed and cheerfully replied: Then it’s 230 yuan.
She waited for a while but didn’t receive a reply from him.
Su Zaizai sent him the picture.
The small circle in front of the bubble kept spinning and quickly turned into a red circle with a white exclamation mark inside.
She pulled down the notification bar and took a look.
The Wi-Fi had disconnected.
Su Zaizai reconnected once.
As soon as she connected, she received his message.
— [WeChat Red Packet] There are still thirty yuan left; I’ll return it to you later.
Su Zaizai didn’t open it and found it somewhat amusing.
She curved her lips and typed on the screen.
Su Zaizai: Are you the country?
One minute later, he said: No.
Zhang Lurang: But I want to give it to you.
Su Zaizai’s breath caught.
She could imagine if he were standing in front of her right now.
He would probably turn his head away, not daring to meet her gaze.
Yet, he wanted to be good to her.
________________________________________
The first day of National Day holiday.
Although Zhang Lurang said he would arrive at noon, Su Zaizai still got up early.
She was too excited to sleep.
She checked the time; Zhang Lurang was probably still on the plane.
But Su Zaizai couldn’t help but send him a WeChat message: Have you arrived?
After tossing and turning on the bed a few times, she finally got up to wash up.
She found something to eat in the fridge and then returned to her room to do math problems.
After finishing the multiple-choice questions, she thought for a moment and sent him another message.
— Do you want me to ride my bike to pick you up?
After sending successfully, she dove back into the sea of problems.
Su Zaizai got stuck on a problem and scribbled on her draft paper.
Unknowingly, she fell asleep on the table.
After a while, she was woken up by the vibration of her phone beside her.
Su Zaizai immediately lifted her head and picked up her phone to check.
Zhang Lurang had called her.
Su Zaizai quickly answered, excitedly shouting: “Rang Rang.”
Zhang Lurang seemed to be in a good mood; his voice carried a hint of laughter.
“I’ve arrived.”
She jumped up from her chair: “Where are you?”
Upon hearing his reply, Su Zaizai immediately ran out and went downstairs.
When she saw Zhang Lurang’s figure, her eyes inexplicably stung.
Su Zaizai wasn’t as urgent as before; she slowly walked up to him.
After a brief silence,
She lowered her head and softly asked: “Do you want to hug me?”
Su Zaizai thought that if he refused, she would directly pounce on him.
Before she could leap,
Zhang Lurang suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her with force.
A clear, cold scent instantly rushed towards her.
He only hugged her for a moment before letting go.
Zhang Lurang raised his hand to rub her head and gently asked: “Have you finished the jelly?”
Not expecting Zhang Lurang to actually hug her,
Su Zaizai’s heart instantly bubbled up with pink bubbles, and she obediently replied: “There’s still one row left.”
Thinking about this, she became curious.
“Why did you give me an extra row?”
Hearing this question, Zhang Lurang hesitated for a moment.
In the end, he decided to tell the truth.
“I didn’t believe you would really eat just one every day.”
“...”
