“Zhou Xing, don’t think that you have the right to make mistakes just because you’re young. That idea is wrong and dangerous. A misstep now could have a great impact on your future. I think that your thinking is not matured enough because you’re still so young. When you date someone in the future, you’ll have to pay more attention to these sensitive topics. Don’t let someone else take advantage of you!”

Zhai Xin thought that Zhou Xing was lucky that the person she had met was him. Otherwise, with what Zhou Xing had said earlier, the majority of men in the world would immediately turn into wolves and gobble Zhou Xing up.

Sigh. Young ladies should be more alert. It was way too easy to get deceived and taken advantage of. “Alright, it’s not early anymore. I’ll send you back. Otherwise, it might really get too late and you won’t be able to go back.” He might not have been able to change Zhou Xing’s mindset in such a short while and make Zhou Xing do as he had said.

Thankfully, there was not much of a problem now since he was Zhou Xing’s boyfriend in name. As long as he was around, he would never do such a thing to hurt Zhou Xing, and neither would he allow any other guys to get close to Zhou Xing and commit such despicable acts toward Zhou Xing.

He was a good civic-minded young man who could not get any more righteous. He treated Zhou Xing as a younger sister and would definitely not let any other boys take advantage of Zhou Xing or bully her.

Without giving Zhou Xing the chance to refuse, Zhai Xin directly pulled Zhou Xing along and sent her back to her dormitory. The moment they reached the gate, Zhou Xing immediately stopped in her tracks. “Thank G.o.d the gate hasn’t been locked. Hurry and wash up and then go to bed. Remember not to come out of your room if there’s nothing urgent. Even if someone asks you to come out, don’t go out to play!”

When Zhai Xin said this, he had no self-awareness that he was Zhou Xing’s boyfriend.

He had already sent Zhou Xing back to her dormitory. If anyone were to ask Zhou Xing out later in the night, it would most likely be a guy. If that were to happen, Zhou Xing would be betraying him by going out with another guy behind his back.

Zhou Xing looked helpless and merely waved at Zhai Xin. “Alright, I understand. Don’t worry. I’m a good girl too. It’s already so late. I should go to bed once I wash up. I practiced a lot of my basic skills and dances in the day, so I’m actually quite tired. I’ll find you if I’m free tomorrow?” She knew that it might be a matter of months or even years if she were to wait for Zhai Xin to find her on his own accord in his free time.

“I won’t be free tomorrow.” Zhai Xin immediately shook his head. “I’m actually quite busy lately. It wasn’t easy for me to set aside half a day today. I think it’s better for me to find you when I’m free. Otherwise, you might make a wasted trip when you come looking for me. I guess you’d feel bad if I have to put aside all my serious work just to go on a date with you when I’m already so busy. I think it’s safer for me to look for you instead. That way, it definitely will not be a wasted trip.” Zhai Xin added brightly and cheerfully.

Zhou Xing nodded obediently. “Alright, I’ll wait for you to come.”

The dormitory auntie recognized Zhou Xing and Zhai Xin. Upon hearing Zhai Xin’s words, the auntie smiled. “Young lady, you are so lucky. Auntie has lived for so many decades and has seen every kind of person there is out there. That chap earlier is not only handsome, but more importantly, he has a good character. He refuses to take advantage of young girls. You have a good judgment to have found such a good boyfriend.”

All along, she had only seen men dawdling upon sending their girlfriends back, not wanting their girlfriends to enter the dormitory gates. More than once, she had even seen men sending their girlfriends back. But when they were merely ten meters away from the gate, they would drag their girlfriends into a bush by the side and hide there for a good half an hour before reappearing.

Since she had been there before, the auntie immediately knew at once what was going on upon seeing those young ladies’ slightly flushed and swollen lips that looked like they had just eaten chilies. For such a matter, as long as both parties were willing and those young ladies were even happy to be kissed, there was nothing an outsider like her could do. If she interfered and gave a few words of advice, they might even despise her for b.u.t.ting in.

That should be exactly how to find a boyfriend. A guy like this who would not cross the line was definitely one who had already decided to spend his entire life with that young lady.

Upon hearing the auntie’s words, Zhou Xing let out a blissful smile. “Thanks, auntie. I know. My boyfriend is a very rare ‘good’ person. I like him very much, and I’ll be sure to cherish his feelings. I won’t let you worry about me.”

With that, Zhou Xing turned around and headed upstairs.

However, once Zhou Xing reached the staircase, not only did her soft and gentle smile immediately disappear, but there also seemed to be a little coldness in her expression. To tell the truth, this was her first time dating as well. She was worried that she would become experienced in dating if she were to get into a relations.h.i.+p prior to this, and Zhai Xin would be able to tell. After all, with Zhai Xin’s background, she had thought that Zhai Xin was sure to be an ‘experienced soldier’ and would be a veteran player who had played many games with no strings attached before.

But as it turned out, Zhai Xin was so pure and innocent.

With Zhai Xin even more ‘innocent’ than she was, Zhou Xing was a little hesitant. She wondered if her plan would be successful and whether Zhai Xin would take her bait. But whether or not he would, she had already worked hard for so many years and had finally become Zhai Xin’s girlfriend. She had to stick to her guns and ride it until the end. Who knew? Perhaps, she would succeed.

At the thought of ‘success’, Zhou Xing’s expression quickly reverted to her upbeat expression that she had when she had bid farewell to Zhai Xin, and she made her way upstairs.

“You’re still reading?” After successfully concluding his date and safely sending Zhou Xing back to her dormitory, Zhai Xin was in a good mood. He saw that Zhai Yi was engrossed in his book and said, “I say, Zhai Yi, don’t you think you’re being too serious? Even if you’re just obeying Mom by gathering more knowledge, don’t overdo it. I think you’re going to become a bookworm at this rate. You’re still so young, but you’re hugging a book every day. You’re wasting your precious and beautiful youth. I think you should take more time to walk around and find an overwhelmingly pa.s.sionate girl to date so that she’ll melt this iceberg of yours.”

Perhaps it was because Er Bao himself was dating and felt that the feeling of dating was not bad after all. That was why he spared no effort in trying to encourage Zhai Yi to find someone for himself so that they would all be dating together. That way, if the elders in their family found out about it and lectured him about it, at least, Zhai Yi could take the punishment alongside him. They could share the burden and punishment!

Zhai Yi raised his eyebrow and narrowed his eyes at Er Bao.”Looking at how carefree and relaxed you are, I really can’t tell that you’re being forced into this relations.h.i.+p and that you really have no feelings for that young lady. Why? Are you treating this as a real relations.h.i.+p now that you’ve dated and realized that it’s nice to be dating?” If that was really the case, he would have to sound the alarm and pay closer attention to Zhai Xin in the future.
