    Your things have all been moved. Please check and then kindly sign your name here.

    "Thank you, you've worked hard!"

    After seeing off the crew from the moving company, Ye Cang shut the door and leapt onto the bed, sprawling out in a supine position.

    In comparison to the Central District, the Dongyun District lacks the bustling atmosphere but possesses a sense of tranquility. The Central District is like the city's jewelry, adorning the most important locations, while the Dongyun District is like a simple shirt, enveloping the city with a sense of stability and serenity. The Dongyun District is the most densely populated area in the entire city, housing the university campus and residential areas. Despite the high population density, it is not overcrowded or bustling. In this area, the sun seems to become gentler, like a quiet girl exuding a warm aura.

    The apartment that Ye Cang rented is only a ten-minute walk from the university, with an area of over forty square meters. Although the space is small, it has everything one needs. As it was left behind by a senior who graduated, Ye Cang took over everything, from the kitchen to the furniture, sofa, and television, all readily available. The layout of the entire house is very neat, with a double bed against the wall and a perfectly sized window directly opposite. The kitchen is close to the entrance, with a glass sliding door design, indicating that the previous tenant was a meticulous and clean person. Ye Cang let out a sigh of relief. Before coming here, he was afraid that such a low rent would lead to a poor quality apartment, but he didn't expect it to be a perfect place to live.

    Turn the air conditioning to 18 degrees. The temperature difference between day and night in early autumn is really giving people a headache. When I woke up early in the morning to tidy up, I could still feel the cold wind rustling. But by the afternoon, it felt like I had run to the southern hemisphere, with the skin scorching under the sunlight. The suffocating heat envelops every pore, making the sweat boil inside the body.

    "Let's order takeout..." Ye Cang muttered in a low voice. He had only bought a rice ball in the morning and hadn't eaten anything since then. After running around for most of the day, he now felt like his stomach was deflated, emitting a thin, elongated whimper.

    About 20 minutes later, the sound of knocking on the door could be heard.

    "Hello, your takeout!"

    Ye Cang staggered as he got up from the bed, shouting, "They're here!"

    Opening the door, a wave of heat surged into the room. Standing at the doorway was a delivery boy, his skin darkened from being exposed to the sun. "Is this Building 3, Room 201 of xx Campus?"

    "Yes, yes," he said as he took the paper bag from the delivery boy's hand with one hand, and put on his signature smile. "Thank you~"

    Drip, drip.

    The sound of electronic unlocking suddenly came from the door next door. Ye Cang cast a sidelong glance and his full attention was immediately drawn to it.

    "Girl?"

    A girl with chest-length light brown hair cascading down her shoulders. From her back, her figure appears slender. One leg is on the ground, supporting her while she leans against the doorframe. In one hand, she is holding a pair of shoes, lightly tapping them on the ground. She is wearing a dark gray sweater that reaches past her buttocks. On her lower body, she has on a fitted black three-quarter length pants. On her feet are a pair of slightly yellowed pure white canvas shoes.

    Her ankles are so slim... Ye Cangxin thought to herself, but her eyes were suddenly dazzled by a blinding light. She quickly averted her gaze, only to discover that a girl was in the process of doing her hair. Amongst her delicate side-swept bangs, a silver earring caught the reflection of the sun's rays. A curved silver piece encircled her ear, intricately carved and shining with a white light in the sunlight. The girl's fingers were long with distinct joints, gently combing through her voluminous hair. However, a black mark stood out prominently on her snow-white skin.

    What's that? I looked closely and saw a very symmetrical black heart-shaped tattoo on the girl's hand. It was neither big nor small, just right in the center of her back hand. Such a strange person... Looking at her back figure that seemed so elegant, she wore some silver jewelry that was neither cute nor vulgar. And she had a tattoo in such an obvious place. Although it wasn't a skull or some strange totem, it just didn't seem to match with a girl like her.

    Ye Cang pursed his lips and gradually withdrew his gaze.

    "Sir?....? Sir? Sir, it's time to settle the bill..."

    "Ah! I'm sorry!"

    Ye Cang hurriedly took out his wallet from his pocket and looked at the delivery guy in front of him who had a helpless expression. He stared absentmindedly at the girl's figure, feeling utterly embarrassed.

    Leaf Cang closed the door and placed the plated meal on the kitchen counter beside the door. Unconsciously, he recalled the girl next door he had just seen, pondering for a moment. Wow, she was so tall, just a bit shorter than himself. Leaf Cang, who had always been confident about his height, suddenly lost interest in this mysterious girl. What guy doesn't like a petite and gentle girl? At the moment when a petite girl leans into his embrace, he can't help but want to hold her tightly and never let go for the rest of his life.

    "Pikachu!"

    Suddenly, a sickeningly sweet alert sound popped out from the mobile phone on the bed. Ye Cangyu sullenly picked up the phone, knowing it was probably that fool again who changed the ringtone.

    Sure! Here's the translation:

    "Sure enough, it was a message sent by someone named 'Xiao Xi'."

    "How's it going? Have you finished tidying up everything?"

    "All done tidying up! Everything went smoothly, and the room looks great! By the way, what did you change the notification sound to?"

    "Hahaha, how cute you are~ You're such a perfect match."

    Ye Cang smiled faintly and was about to type a reply, but unexpectedly, the other party sent another message.

    "Oh, by the way, Yezhi, how about I come over and hang out with you a few days after school starts?"

    "Sure, when should I come to tell me so I can pick you up?"

    "Okay~ Then I'll tidy up the dormitory first! Mwah mwah."

    "Go ahead, go ahead, little one."

    Letting go of the phone and tossing it onto the bed, Ye Cangxin felt a sense of happiness welling up inside her, like taking a bite of a cream puff, where sweet cream overflowed and enveloped her entire heart.
