Lemon Soda Candy

🫧Soda🫧 Chapter 34

Outside of the dormitory building, Zhou Anran spotted Chen Luobai standing by the flower bed.

He was dressed in all-black today-black sweatpants and a black hoodie, with the hood casually draped over his head. He had a relaxed posture, one leg straight and the other slightly bent against the flower bed, yet his back remained upright.

His striking figure and looks drew the attention of people passing by, but he simply focused on his phone, seemingly indifferent to the gazes around him, just like he had always been in high school.

Not far from him, two girls appeared to be hesitating whether to approach him or not.

Zhou Anran stopped in her tracks.

Chen Luobai happened to raise his head at this moment.

Her eyes locked onto his pair of black eyes, and her heart began to race.

Chen Luobai put his phone into his pocket, keeping one hand inside, still not paying attention to the others around him, and walked directly towards her, "You're down so soon?"

Zhou Anran's heart raced faster, she nodded and handed him the bag.

Chen Luobai reached out to take it, saying with a familiar casual tone, "Thanks."

Standing in front of him made Zhou Anran nervous. After replying 'you're welcome', she found herself at a loss for words. She didn't dare to look at him for too long, her gaze dropping to the ground, contemplating whether she should say goodbye now that she had delivered the items when she heard him call her name again.

"Zhou Anran."

Hearing him calling her name still felt surreal for her, she couldn't help but raise her head again.

Chen Luobai's sweater hood seemed to have accidentally slipped from his head, revealing his short, jet-black hair; there were a few strands falling across his forehead.

"Are you in a hurry to go up?"

Zhou Anran didn't fully grasp his meaning, but still shook her head honestly.

Chen Luobai waved the paper bag in his hand, "If not, let me treat you to dinner as a thank you?"

From the time he added her on WeChat yesterday until now, Zhou Anran felt as if she were caught in a long dream. Yet, even in a dream, she could never have imagined he would invite her to dinner alone.

Zhou Anran froze, staring at him blankly, and for a brief moment she forgot to react.

Then, out of the blue, the boy in front of her suddenly smiled.

It was the first time Zhou Anran saw him smile since they met again. When he smiled, all his youthful charm came to life.

Her heart raced even faster.

"Will you go?" Chen Luobai asked again. He glanced at his watch and added, "It's getting late, so I can only take you to the cafeteria."

Zhou Anran snapped back to her senses, suppressed the little bubbles that kept bursting in her heart, and nodded at him.

On the way to the cafeteria with him, Zhou Anran received a lot of attention.

She knew that he was popular, but this was the first time she experienced it from this perspective. Previously, she could only observe him from the sidelines like everyone else, and she wasn't even as courageous as others, she only dared to hide in the crowd and watch him secretly.

Now, every glance directed at him also shifted toward her.

Zhou Anran felt a little uncomfortable.

However, she also felt joy and excitement.
