- Rebirth Begins with Rejecting my Childhood Friend
- Chapter 174 - I don't mind, but if I'm a eunuch, are you willing?
“Impossible!” Xiao Youran immediately retorted.
Cheng Lu didn’t explain.
But her demeanor made the three girls start to believe what she said.
In an instant, Xiao Youran felt sad and wanted to cry.
Why did the Management and Engineering Department invite Cheng Lu to the dinner party instead of inviting her or Song Siyu?
Why did Xu Xiuwen send Cheng Lu back to the dorm?
Xu Xiuwen clearly hasn’t sent her back many times.
Could it be that Xu Xiuwen likes Cheng Lu?
Xiao Youran quickly shook her head, “Impossible, impossible, he hasn’t even seen Cheng Lu a few times, how could he like her? It must be out of gentlemanly manners that he did so.”
Xiao Youran found a reason in her heart for why Xu Xiuwen sent Cheng Lu back.
Instead, she was not very confident in Cheng Lu and hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “Cheng Lu, Xiao Xu belongs to me, you can’t like him!”
Cheng Lu’s lips curved slightly upwards, but she didn’t speak.
Xiao Youran, seeing her silence, was on the verge of tears.
An Shishi whispered words of comfort to her.
Song Siyu then said to Cheng Lu, “Cheng Lu, you don’t really like Xu Xiuwen, do you? He’s Youran’s childhood friend. You shouldn’t ruin someone else’s relationship.”
Cheng Lu still didn’t speak, just tidying up her things.
She seemed like an iceberg.
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Song Siyu was also infuriated.
Song Siyu and Xiao Youran were at a loss.
An Shishi suddenly interjected.
She said, “Cheng Lu, someone as proud as you shouldn’t stoop to being a third party, interfering in others’ relationships.”
This time, Cheng Lu finally reacted.
She turned to look at An Shishi, meeting her gaze.
After their eyes met, An Shishi’s gaze flickered for a moment, but she didn’t look away.
Cheng Lu stared at An Shishi for a full three seconds before saying, “Xu Xiuwen may seem outstanding to you, but he’s not outstanding enough for me to interfere in someone else’s relationship. I won’t do that.”
Upon hearing Cheng Lu’s words, Xiao Youran, although there was a hint of disdain for Xu Xiuwen in her tone, actually felt relieved.
However outstanding Xu Xiuwen might be, as long as she knew it herself, it was best for others not to know. That way, no one would try to steal him from her.
So Xiao Youran didn’t get angry because of Cheng Lu’s words. Instead, she suddenly felt a weight lifted from her heart.
The conversation ended here.
Xiao Youran got into bed, took out her phone, and started texting Xu Xiuwen.
“Xiao Xu, is your department having a celebration banquet tonight?”
Xu Xiuwen was still on his way back when he saw Xiao Youran’s text and replied, “Yes, just finished.”
Xiao Youran was delighted to receive the message and continued typing, “Cheng Lu is back, did you send her back?”
Xu Xiuwen fell silent for a moment when he saw the text.
How did Xiao Youran know he brought Cheng Lu back? After thinking about it, the only possibility was that Cheng Lu told her.
Xu Xiuwen didn’t quite understand why Cheng Lu would tell Xiao Youran.
He replied, “Yes, it was late, and the monitor asked me to take Cheng Lu back.”
Xiao Youran was pleased to see the message, feeling relieved knowing it was the monitor’s request.
Although it wasn’t what she had in mind, knowing the monitor asked him to do so put her at ease.
Xiao Youran’s doubts about Cheng Lu were resolved, but she still had a slight worry about Shen Minyao.
She continued typing: “Xiao Xu, what’s your relationship with Shen Minyao?”
Xu Xiuwen, upon seeing the message, felt a bit flustered but quickly calmed down.
After careful thought, he realized Xiao Youran was probably just concerned.
Instead of answering directly, Xu Xiuwen replied with a question, “Why so many questions, are you that concerned about me? Hehe, someone might mistake you for my girlfriend.”
Xiao Youran blushed at the mention of girlfriend.
She wanted to say, “I want to be your girlfriend.”
But her natural shyness, coupled with her roommates being nearby, made her too embarrassed to say it.
She replied, “Aren’t we childhood friends? Can’t I care about you?”
Xu Xiuwen chuckled when he saw the message.
But then he received another text from Xiao Youran, “And Aunt Ning asked me to keep an eye on you, not allowing you to do anything bad at school.”
Aunt Ning is Ning Wanqiu, Xu Xiuwen’s mother.
He frowned, not suspecting that Xiao Youran was delivering the imperial decree. He typed, “Do you still have contact with my mom?”
“Of course, didn’t expect that, Aunt Ning asked me to keep an eye on you, and even gave me the power of life and death.”
Xu Xiuwen laughed, “Still the power of life and death, you’re treating my mom like the Empress Dowager, are you the chief eunuch?”
Xiao Youran shook her foot angrily and typed, “Xu Xiuwen, you’re annoying, you’re the eunuch.”
“I don’t mind, but if I’m a eunuch, are you willing?”
“What’s wrong with you being a eunuch–“Xiao Youran paused her typing, suddenly stunned.
If Xu Xiuwen is a eunuch, then doesn’t that mean he doesn’t have…?
Xiao Youran’s face turned as red as a peony.
She was supposed to be a pure young girl, how could she think of such things?
It’s all Xu Xiuwen’s fault for corrupting her.
Xiao Youran found an excuse for herself.
With her face burning red, even though she knew Xu Xiuwen couldn’t see it, she still felt a bit guilty.
She quickly deleted that part of the message and typed again, “You’re so bad.”
Xu Xiuwen saw the message from the girl.
It seemed that Xiao Youran understood what he had just said.
Xu Xiuwen smirked mischievously and typed, “I’m in the dorm now, talk later.”
Unconsciously, he had already reached the dormitory door.
Glancing at the time, it’s half past nine.
Xu Xiuwen put away his phone and entered the room.
Tonight, the six people in Room 412 drank moderately, probably because Cheng Lu was there; nobody got drunk.
Right now, Wang Juncai is playing games, Shi Xiangming is reading a novel, Liu Zhihao and Yang Baishan are chatting, while the dormitory head, Jin Haonan, is busy writing something.
Seeing Xu Xiuwen return, Yang Baishan, who was chatting with Liu Zhihao, immediately stopped and looked like he wanted to say something.
Liu Zhihao directly asked, “Xiuwen, did you walk Cheng Lu back to the dorm?”
Xu Xiuwen returned to his seat, “Yeah, why?”
Liu Zhihao smirked, “Did anything happen when you walked her back?”
Xu Xiuwen turned to look and asked back, “What do you think could have happened?”
Liu Zhihao chuckled, “Our Jiangling campus heartthrob walked her back, it must have been an honor for her. Didn’t she offer a kiss as a thank you?”
Yang Baishan interjected, “Old Liu, stop making things up. Cheng Lu would never do something like that!”
Before Xu Xiuwen could speak, Liu Zhihao said, “Old Yang, your words make it sound like you know Cheng Lu so well. Don’t forget, this morning you thought she was the one who reported to Secretary Li.”
Hearing Liu Zhihao’s words, Yang Baishan was at a loss for words.
He opened his mouth, and finally said, “Anyway, Cheng Lu isn’t that kind of person!”
Liu Zhihao didn’t argue with him further, thinking about Cheng Lu’s personality, he felt that Yang Baishan’s words made some sense, “Yeah, Cheng Lu is like an iceberg, how could the Bingshan(iceberg) be interested in a mortal?”
