Chapter 213 Using Flowers to Offer to Buddha
The girls' dormitory is right across from the boys' dormitory, and Lu Yuan happens to live on the first floor. He only needs to cross the road to get there.
At the beginning of the new semester, the dormitory supervisors were not yet fully in place, and it was not considered a violation for male and female students to occasionally visit each other's dormitories.
Anyway, no one will arrest them, and no one will be so bored as to report them.
At this moment, several people had gathered at the entrance of the dormitory building. Xu Lingjing and her roommates were standing there, with Wu Kun beside them, and the two sides seemed to be in a standoff.
It's really difficult for Wu Kun to face so many girls alone.
"What's going on?" Lu Yuan rushed over with Zhong Daming and Liu Yujie, looking at the scene before him with some confusion.
Wu Kun stood dejectedly to the side, his face full of grievance, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Ouyang Yue was clearly quite frightened, shrinking behind her roommate with a look of panic in her eyes.
Xu Lingjing, as the dormitory head, spoke first, her tone clearly showing dissatisfaction: "Ask Wu Kun, he suddenly came over to harass Ouyang and even followed her all the way to the girls' dormitory, isn't he plotting something!"
"Brother Kun, when did you become so fierce?"
Liu Yujie and Zhong Daming looked at each other, wondering to themselves: Kun Ge usually seems honest and unassuming, how could he do something like a perverted stalker?
A girl nearby interjected indignantly, "We're going to tell the counselor!"
"No, no, no, please don't be impulsive." Lu Yuan quickly raised his hand to stop them, and smiled to reassure them, "There must be some misunderstanding. Everyone, please don't rush, let me find out the truth first. As the class monitor, I will definitely give everyone an explanation."
As he spoke, Lu Yuan pulled Wu Kun aside and asked in a low voice, "Brother Kun, what exactly happened? You're usually so reliable, how did you get into this mess?"
"I..." Wu Kun hesitated, looking very troubled.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? At a time like this, what's the trouble you're having? If they really report it to the teacher, things will get really serious." Lu Yuan's tone became more serious.
While universities don't place much emphasis on grades, they have zero tolerance for misconduct.
If a male student trespasses into a female dormitory, it's considered misconduct at best, and at worst, he could be disciplined or even expelled from school.
However, Lu Yuan knew Wu Kun's character and absolutely did not believe that he would do such a despicable and vile thing.
Wu Kun frowned and finally spoke: "I just... want to invite her to dinner to apologize."
"That's it?" Lu Yuan scratched his head. It was just a dinner invitation; how could it have escalated to the girls' dormitory?
"Um... I stopped her on the way and offered to treat her to a meal, but she kept shaking her head and didn't say anything. She just turned around and ran away. As soon as she ran, I instinctively chased after her, and... I accidentally ended up in the girls' dormitory."
Wu Kun looked completely innocent, feeling that he had been very sincere, but the other party didn't appreciate it and even treated him like a bad guy, which made him feel quite aggrieved.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan helplessly covered his face.
He could almost picture the scene: Ouyang Yue, alone on her way to her dormitory in the dark campus, was suddenly confronted by a burly man who asked her to have dinner. What girl wouldn't be terrified?
Ouyang Yue looked like the kind of obedient, well-behaved girl who was oblivious to the world around her. How could she resist such a "hardcore" invitation? It would be strange if she didn't run away.
"Brother Kun, in the future, when you're dealing with girls, talk to your brothers first before you do anything, okay?" Lu Yuan patted Wu Kun on the shoulder and said earnestly.
Wu Kun looked puzzled: "Why?"
"Why else? I'm afraid you might get arrested by the police one day for being a pervert!" Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at him, signaling him to wait there, and then turned to talk to the girls.
"Have you found out?" Xu Lingjing greeted her, her tone still carrying a hint of wariness.
"Don't worry, he really didn't have any ill intentions," Lu Yuan explained with a smile. "He just wanted to apologize for accidentally bumping into Ouyang while playing games last night. He absolutely had no malicious intent."
"Who apologizes like that?" Xu Lingjing and the other girls found Wu Kun's actions incomprehensible.
"Well, that's just how straight men are," Lu Yuan said half-jokingly. "Not every guy has my level of emotional intelligence."
"Pfft!" Several girls couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the tense atmosphere finally eased a bit.
Seeing that the time was right, Lu Yuan turned to Ouyang Yue and said gently, "Ouyang, Kun really wants to apologize for what happened yesterday. He's usually very carefree and didn't consider your feelings, which scared you. Please don't mind."
"Apologize?" Ouyang Yue glanced at Wu Kun with lingering fear. He was still standing there like a Vajra in a temple, glaring angrily and fiercely. There was no sign of any sincerity in his apology.
"Yes." Lu Yuan waved to Wu Kun.
Wu Kun looked reluctant, but was eventually pushed over by Liu Yujie and Zhong Daming.
As he approached, Ouyang Yue subconsciously took a half step back, her eyes filled with wariness.
"Ouyang, don't be afraid," Lu Yuan quickly smoothed things over. "Kun really came to apologize. Military training is about to start, and he even prepared sunscreen for you."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Kun was stunned and blurted out, "When did I...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yuan subtly shoved him, preventing him from speaking further, and turned to glare at him: "Brother Kun, stop pretending! The sunscreen you bought is still in the dorm. At a time like this, if you don't show some sincerity, what are you apologizing for?"
After saying that, Lu Yuan turned to Liu Yujie and said, "A-Jie, go and get the sunscreen that Brother Kun bought for Ouyang."
"Uh... okay." Although Liu Yujie hesitated for a moment, he did as instructed and ran back to his dormitory.
"No need..." Ouyang Yue subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Liu Yujie had already run far away.
Not long after, Liu Yujie came running back, panting, with two boxes of sunscreen in his hand, both from well-known brands on the market.
Actually, Lu Yuan bought this sunscreen for his own use, but now he can only "borrow it to offer to Buddha".
"Here you go, Ouyang." Lu Yuan took the sunscreen and handed it to Ouyang Yue. "Kun-ge specially picked this out for you; he put a lot of thought into it. Apply it during military training to prevent tanning—it's an essential item!"
"This..." Ouyang Yue hesitated and did not reach out.
Lu Yuan immediately gave Wu Kun a secret kick and whispered a reminder: "Say something! Show some of the attitude of us men!"
Although Wu Kun was completely confused, Lu Yuan had already pressed him so hard, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Um... please accept it."
Ouyang Yue clearly didn't want to accept something for no reason, and was hesitating when Xu Lingjing walked over, smiling and smoothing things over: "Ouyang, since it's Wu Kun's kind gesture, just accept it. We're all classmates, it's best to get along well, right?"
"I..." Ouyang Yue hesitated, feeling that it was inappropriate to accept the gift.
Xu Lingjing simply took the sunscreen from Lu Yuan's hand, stuffed it into her arms, and said softly, "Okay, okay, take it. We girls aren't pretentious, right?"
"Okay... alright." Ouyang Yue finally took the sunscreen, looked up at Wu Kun, and nodded slightly. "Thank you. Actually, I was fine last night. It's normal to bump and bruise yourself while playing games. You didn't need to come all this way to apologize."
"Uh..." Wu Kun opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Lu Yuan quickly smoothed things over for him: "That's just how Brother Kun is. He looks rough and tough on the surface, but he's actually very thoughtful, especially towards girls."
"Okay." Ouyang Yue finally smiled. "Thank you. This is a nice gift. I didn't expect military training to be so sunny. I need to prepare sunscreen. You're so thoughtful."
Seeing that she was no longer wary, he naturally stopped complaining.
After chatting amicably for a few minutes, everyone dispersed, since gathering at the entrance of the girls' dormitory wasn't a very presentable sight.
With the matter resolved satisfactorily, Lu Yuan was about to turn and leave when Xu Lingjing called out to him, "Lu Yuan, can we talk?"
