My Girlfriend is the Cutest in the World

 At six o’clock in the evening, Su Lin rode his bike, which had just been pumped up, to the first floor of the girls’ dormitory as scheduled.

    After sending her a WeChat message to come downstairs, he parked the bike in front of the dormitory.

    On Friday afternoons, pretty much every student wouldn’t have any evening courses. After class, most people would go home or some would go out.

    The surrounding area was very quiet. The slightest sound could easily be heard.

    After an unknown amount of time, came the rhythmic sound of footsteps. Afterwards, he saw her figure bounce over and gradually appear in front of his eyes.

    Lu Yuanyuan bounced to the door, calmed her breathing, and waved at him from the dormitory doorway: “Senior!”

    He didn’t say a word but walked towards her and very naturally supported her arm, helping her to slowly move forward.

    “Did you ride your bike, senior?”

    “Mm.”

    In October, it turned dark before evening, and the street lights on both sides of the school’s roads were brightly lit. Lu Yuanyuan bounced for a short distance before seeing his bike.

    The front of the bike was directly facing her. The bike was black with white letters, with sleek lines, looking especially cool.

    Cool was cool, but this seemed to be a mountain bike, right…

    The front of that handlebar was slanted. Did Senior Su mean to have her sit on… that slanted handlebar?

    Lu Yuanyuan worriedly swept it another glance.

    This sweep scared her a lot.

    She jumped over on one foot and stared carefully again for a while.

   … She wasn’t wrong.

   A pink back seat.

    It also seemed to be slightly reflective? Or was it fluorescent? Luminescent?

    Lu Yuanyuan was a little mystified.

    Su Lin hadn’t made a sound from beginning to end.

    He watched her series of movements, expressions, and gaze, and also saw her surprise.

    But he didn’t understand… Was this like or dislike?

    Originally, he was actually quite confident when he bought it. A little girl, a cute little girl at that, gave the impression that she’d like this color. How matching.

    But then Qin Fang showed him the forum.

    And what did he see?

    Various combinations of “Pink, HAHAHAHAH, I’m laughing to death”, “Su Lin’s so handsome, so what kind of taste is this, ahahaha”, “Damn, a straight guy’s aesthetics is really terrible”…… and a bunch of comments that made his eyes bleed1.

    He actually thought about going for a different color, like black or white, a color that she may not like very much, but one that couldn’t go wrong.

    But then he saw the little girl’s pajamas, which were pink.

    The defective Berry Berry Milk was also pink.

    He thought forget it, maybe she’ll happen to like it.

    However, her expression just now…

    Why was it so complicated?

    “Senior…” Lu Yuanyuan touched the back seat and looked up, “I’m going to sit here, right?”

    “… Mm.” Su Lin came a little closer and looked at her face.

    There seemed to be nothing like dislike on her face.

    Just a little strangeness.

    “This is what you installed yourself?”

    “… Mm.”

    Right after the words left her mouth, Lu Yuanyuan felt she’d asked a brain-dead question. Wasn’t this a dumb question? What black bike came with a pink back seat.

    And on such a cool black bike.

    Such a light pink.

    She didn’t say anything else, just nodded: “Oh.”

    Su Lin parked the bike next to the stairs. She held his arm and hopped up the step. When the height was just right, she sat on it.

    She watched as Su Lin kicked the kickstand that was propping the bike on the ground to the back and lifted his long legs to sit on the seat. He didn’t ride immediately, but turned his face sideways and said, “You hold on.”

    Lu Yuanyuan nodded with her hands clasped on the leather bike seat, “Mm-hmm. Holding on.”

    Then, his legs pressed on the pedals. The scenery around her began to rapidly fall behind into the distance.

    Perhaps because the bike was good, sometimes when they rode over some bumps or holes on the ground, she didn’t feel a jolt at all. The cool evening breeze blew across her face, and her body was particularly comfortable.

    Lu Yuanyuan was enjoying this flying-like happy feeling when his voice reached her ears along with the wind.

    “Lu Yuanyuan.”

    “Hmm?”

    “… Do you like it?”

    Lu Yuanyuan was puzzled: “Like what?”

    “The…” He hesitated for a few seconds before continuing, “The car seat.”

    “…”

    Lu Yuanyuan swallowed carefully.

    Did he care so much about what… others thought of this car seat?

    She thought about it, used her most serious tone, and raised her voice: “Mm-hmm, I like it. It’s super nice!”

    “Oh, okay.” The voice coming again from in front of her seemed to be carrying a smile.

    Lu Yuanyuan’s lips twitched.

    Yah, really ah…

    Because he was riding very steadily, she was no longer holding so tightly.

    Lu Yuanyuan let go of one hand. Pulling out the phone from the bag slung over her back, she opened the Notes app, and there was a file inside that was very precious to her.

    [What My Family & Best Friends Like]

    Grandpa: Teapot, chessboard, needles for acupuncture (the kind that’s a set)

    Grandma: Movies, Aaron Kwok posters (but can’t send! Will be scolded by grandpa! >o<)

    Wang Yihan:…

    Lin Xi:…

   …

    All of her favorite people were on this list. After recording it down, when their birthday came, it would be much easier for her to think of gifts.

    Lu Yuanyuan held the phone with one hand. Although it was slow, she wasn’t in a hurry, and poked one letter at a time.

    A few minutes later.

    A new line was added to her treasured note.

    [What My Family & Best Friends Like]

   …

    Senior Su: Seems to particularly like pink! OvO!

The author has something to say.

In Lu Yuanyuan’s mind:

The image of Senior Su was-

An old man(?) who madly loves soy milk, exceedingly likes pink, and also likes Berry Berry milk
