Falling for the Junior?

"So soft..."

Chen Fan swore that he definitely didn't mean to do it. It was completely a young man's subconscious reaction.

He clearly saw the expression on Xu Qiuci's face shift from panic to embarrassment and anger.

"I'm sorry, I..."

Before Chen Fan could finish explaining, Xu Qiuci flipped herself over and off Chen Fan's body. The girl tried to stand up, but let out an "ouch" and squatted back down in pain.

"Are you alright?"

Disregarding the pain in his own body, Chen Fan hurriedly scrambled up and reached out to help Xu Qiuci.

"You..."

"Over there!"

An angry roar interrupted Chen Fan. Looking up toward the opposite side of the roller skating rink, he saw two people walking out from the entrance across the way.

Damn! Isn't that Adidas Guy?

Chen Fan froze, completely not expecting to run into him here.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"

Xu Qiuci called out anxiously, jolting Chen Fan back to reality. It turned out that Xu Qiuci had been chased by Adidas Guy, which was why she had panicked and crashed into his arms.

After running just a few steps, Xu Qiuci stopped again in pain, her brows tightly furrowed. Tiny pearls of tears were already glistening in her pretty eyes.

Chen Fan quickly crouched down and pulled up her trouser leg.

"It's swollen this badly?"

Chen Fan was somewhat surprised; her ankle must have been sprained from the collision earlier.

"I'll take you to the hospital. Can you still hang on?"

With that, Chen Fan bent down to help her up. But Xu Qiuci pushed him away.

"Just go, don't worry about me."

"How can I do that!"

Without another word, Chen Fan quickly stepped in front of her and squatted down.

"Come on, get on my back!"

Xu Qiuci hesitated for a moment.

"What are you still waiting for?"

"Get on!"

Chen Fan's tone suddenly turned firm, startling Xu Qiuci into a slight shiver. This time, she didn't hesitate and immediately draped herself over Chen Fan's back.

"Hold on tight."

Chen Fan gave a reminder, then immediately broke into a sprint with Xu Qiuci on his back, leaving Adidas Guy Wu Gang and his companion cursing furiously behind them.

However, the two of them were still wearing roller skates, and by the time they bent down to take off their shoes, Chen Fan had already vanished without a trace.

Campus Hospital.

Chen Fan carried Xu Qiuci into the emergency room.

"Doctor, could you please take a look? It looks like a sprained ankle."

The doctor on duty was a young female physician.

"Come on, gently help her sit down on the bed. Take off her shoes."

Chen Fan followed the instructions step by step. However, taking off her shoes felt a bit awkward. Xu Qiuci's pretty face flushed red, and she quietly turned her head away.

Once the roller skate was off, her sock was also carefully removed.

What came into Chen Fan's view was a pair of delicate, snow-white, smooth, and tender feet. The two petite feet placed side by side on the bed looked just like a pair of flawless jade pieces without a single blemish. Her tender little feet were smaller than Chen Fan's palm, and her slender, white toes were lined up neatly, making anyone who looked at them instantly want to cup them in their hands and play with them gently.

At that moment, the female doctor walked over holding disinfectant supplies and, taking just one glance, scolded them, "You two are much too careless. How did it get this bad? And how are you even a boyfriend, not even able to protect the safety of your girlfriend..."

Chen Fan stood off to the side looking utterly innocent, not daring to open his mouth to explain. Xu Qiuci, meanwhile, kept her head lowered with a blushing face.

"This is an ointment for reducing swelling, relieving pain, and promoting blood circulation. Help her apply it."

Seeing Chen Fan standing there in a daze, the female doctor teased, "What? Do I need to teach you how to apply ointment too?"

Chen Fan hurriedly reached out to take the ointment, glanced at Xu Qiuci, and seeing that she kept her head down without objecting, he unscrewed the cap. With a trembling hand, he gently grasped Xu Qiuci's ankle, then scooped out a dollop of the ointment with his other hand and carefully applied it.

The doctor standing nearby reminded him, "Use a bit of force and rub the ointment in evenly so that it absorbs better."

Feeling awkward, Chen Fan had no choice but to grip her little feet with both hands and rub them with moderate pressure.

Xu Qiuci's entire body tensed up like a frightened little rabbit. As a well-behaved girl, this was the first time in her life she had been touched on the feet by a male. The sensation was four parts panic, three parts awkwardness, and the remaining three parts a strange, shy feeling.

Fortunately, Chen Fan's eyes remained clear, and from start to finish, he showed no strange expressions, which made Xu Qiuci let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Leaving the campus hospital, Chen Fan looked at her and asked, "How are you going to walk like this? Which dorm building do you live in? Should I walk you back?"

"No need. I just called my dorm, and they'll be here to pick me up soon."

Xu Qiuci glanced at Chen Fan. "Thank you for today. Go ahead and take care of whatever you need to do."

Chen Fan didn't leave immediately; instead, he stood in place and waited until Xu Qiuci's roommates arrived before waving goodbye and departing.

"Ooh, what a handsome guy!"

As soon as Chen Fan left, several roommates immediately surrounded Xu Qiuci.

"Qiuchi, be honest with us. What's your relationship with him?"

Xu Qiuci rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Can you guys please not gossip wildly? He's just a freshman junior who happened to run into me and bring me here."

"Oh..."

Her roommates immediately let out a chorus of jeers and catcalls.

"A freshman junior... talk about an older cow grazing on tender grass."

"Young and energetic juniors... and most importantly, juniors have great stamina..."

"Qiuchi, tell us the truth, did your heart skip a beat for him?"

"Get out, get out, get out!"

Xu Qiuci was completely defeated by these female hooligans. How could I possibly's heart skip a beat for a freshman I just met?

For some reason, the scene of Chen Fan massaging her feet earlier suddenly flashed through her mind. Xu Qiuci's face instantly turned blazing red, and she hurriedly turned her head away, terrified of being found out.

...

In order to scrape together two hundred thousand within a week, Chen Fan resolutely embarked on the great enterprise of plagiarizing songs.

The first song he prepared was Ah Qi's "Missing You". Because he had previously sung this song in front of his classmates, to avoid exposure, Chen Fan had to publish it ahead of time.

Friday night was the day for the joint dormitory gathering. However, Chen Fan used the excuse that he already had a girlfriend to decline the gathering, sitting alone in the dorm scribbling away.

After two busy days, he had already prepared six songs. If he could sell them for a good price, gathering two hundred thousand would not be a problem at all.

That night, his dorm brothers returned from the gathering.

The first thing they said to Chen Fan upon entering was, "Fourth Brother, missing out on tonight's gathering was your biggest mistake."

Luo Wenjie eagerly crowded around him.

"Let me tell you, the opposite dorm is full of beauties. Your big brother here fell in love at first sight with a girl tonight. From the very first moment I saw her, I've even figured out what to name our future kids..."

Chen Fan looked speechless and turned to ask Sun Hao, "Did this guy get hit in the head?"

Sun Hao chuckled. "You didn't go to the gathering tonight, so you missed seeing Second Brother and Xiaoshu almost come to blows."

Chen Fan froze, completely puzzled. "What do you mean? Did they get into a fight?"
