Xu Xiuwen stuck to the door and windows, watching Cheng Lu dancing gracefully in the activity room.
After watching for a while, Cheng Lu finally noticed him outside the door.
Cheng Lu walked over to open the door for him.
After the door opened, Xu Xiuwen just walked into the activity room.
Cheng Lu looked him up and down, smelling a strong smell of alcohol, and said coldly, “Where did you go drinking again? Don’t you know drinking is bad for your health!”
Xu Xiuwen originally wanted to tell her what he had gained tonight.
But he was scolded by Cheng Lu as soon as he came.
However, he could hear Cheng Lu’s tone of concern and explained, “I went to host a program! And occasionally drinking is fine, I’m still young, it’s okay.”
Cheng Lu looked at him and didn’t say anything.
Xu Xiuwen, seeing Cheng Lu not speaking, said to her, “Can you pour me a glass of water?”
“Pour it yourself.”
Xu Xiuwen sighed as if disappointed and muttered to himself, “Ah, I went to the Arts Institute tonight, invited them for drinks, with the purpose of pulling in more excellent programs. They all took turns pouring me drinks, and now I feel terrible after drinking. But when I wanted to drink water, I couldn’t even get it, it’s really sad.”
Cheng Lu still ignored him.
Xu Xiuwen sighed and had to pour it himself.
He had just come in and saw a thermos on the table in the corner.
Suddenly, Cheng Lu said, “Who was the girl who went to the classroom to find you today?”
Xu Xiuwen was stunned, standing still.
How did Cheng Lu know that someone came to find him in the classroom today?
He turned around and looked at Cheng Lu’s delicate face in surprise, asking, “How did you know someone was looking for me? Which big mouth told you? Dong Jun or Yang Baishan? It must be Yang Baishan!”
Cheng Lu didn’t have much expression, and her tone was a little cold, “Who told me doesn’t matter, I’m asking you, who is she? Why did she come to the classroom to find you?”
Xu Xiuwen stared at Cheng Lu.
Although she seemed cold on the surface, she was actually concerned about the identity of that girl, and further, about the relationship between that girl and him.
Xu Xiuwen realized something.
He smirked, “Her name is Xu Mingxue, Senior Sister Jiang Yin asked her to come and host for our department.”
Cheng Lu showed a surprised expression, “Is it Senior Sister Mingxue?”
Xu Xiuwen nodded, “Yeah, who else would it be?”
The coldness on Cheng Lu’s face melted away instantly.
Xu Xiuwen asked again, “Answer me, who told you about this?”
Cheng Lu still didn’t say.
Xu Xiuwen also gave up asking. It was either Dong Jun or Yang Baishan, probably the latter.
But he didn’t expect it was actually Feng Xuan who said it.
The activity room quieted down for a while.
Xu Xiuwen suddenly remembered something and said to Cheng Lu, “For the program, I can definitely arrange it. You don’t need to go up and dance.”
Last time at dinner, Xu Xiuwen said he wouldn’t let her sign up for the program, but now he said it again.
Cheng Lu asked curiously, “Why don’t you let me sign up? Afraid I’ll perform badly and embarrass your department?”
Xu Xiuwen hesitated, but finally said it.
He looked up at Cheng Lu and said seriously, “If you wear a skirt and dance, and the skirt flies up, with so many people watching below, showing your legs, I don’t like it.”
After hearing Xu Xiuwen’s words, Cheng Lu stared at him for a while without saying anything.
Then she chuckled and said, “You’re really petty, I’m wearing tight pants.”
After saying that, she walked to the corner and poured him a glass of water.
Because there were no disposable cups, Cheng Lu used a water glass.
As for whose water glass it was, Cheng Lu didn’t say.
Xu Xiuwen didn’t ask either because there was no need.
Not saying it indirectly meant kissing, if a girl is willing to let you drink water from her cup, what does it represent? You don’t need to think to know.
Xu Xiuwen was very happy, so happy that he couldn’t help but laugh.
Seeing him smile, Cheng Lu muttered softly, “Always smiling foolishly.”
Xu Xiuwen took a sip of hot water, warming his stomach, feeling much better.
He remembered Cheng Lu was still there, so he said to her, “You can continue dancing, I won’t disturb you.”
As he spoke, he moved to the wall, giving her the whole space in the middle.
Cheng Lu glanced at him and said, “I’m not dancing.”
Xu Xiuwen asked in confusion, “Why aren’t you dancing?”
“Because there’s a pervert.”
“Where’s the pervert? Leave it to me to deal with!”
Xu Xiuwen knew she was referring to himself.
But he pretended not to have heard and looked around, pretending to search for the pervert.
Cheng Lu was amused and laughed.
Xu Xiuwen “finally reacted.”
He widened his eyes and looked at Cheng Lu, asking, “If you’re not dancing, then why did you call me a pervert? Don’t slander me.”
Cheng Lu pursed her lips and didn’t say anything, but her meaning was clear: yes, you are, stop denying it.
Xu Xiuwen couldn’t just grab her and spank her to change her mind.
That’s for later, not now.
The activity room quieted down again, the only sound being Xu Xiuwen drinking water.
In the blink of an eye, most of the hot water in the glass was gone.
Xu Xiuwen put down the cup and finally couldn’t help but ask the question in his heart.
“Cheng Lu, do you not remember me?”
Xu Xiuwen had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
Since the first meeting at Jiaotong University, Cheng Lu treated him like a stranger, as if she had completely forgotten what happened in the bathroom with him.
Xu Xiuwen hadn’t found a suitable opportunity to ask, but now was a good chance, and he felt like his relationship with Cheng Lu had become closer, so he boldly asked.
Cheng Lu’s reaction surprised him.
Cheng Lu first glared at him, then her cheeks turned red, and finally she said, “Do you think I’m as stupid as you? How could I forget something like that.”
Xu Xiuwen felt happy in his heart, Cheng Lu indeed remembered that incident, but then he felt troubled.
If she remembered him, why had she been so cold to him before?
Cheng Lu thought to herself, it’s the first time in my life that a boy has trapped me in the girls’ restroom, and he even covered my mouth so tightly, and what happened afterward, I’ll never forget.
As the protagonist of the incident, how could she forget him?
Xu Xiuwen didn’t know Cheng Lu’s thoughts, and he voiced his concern directly, “Then why have you been so cold to me?”
Cheng Lu retorted, “Who said I can’t be cold to you?”
Pausing for a moment, she continued, “What’s your relationship with Xiao Youran?”
Xu Xiuwen suddenly realized that Cheng Lu had misunderstood his relationship with Xiao Youran.
After hesitating for a moment, he explained, “Xiao Youran and I grew up together.”
“That’s it?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
“Do you really not like her?”
“I don’t. I treat her like a little sister.”
Xu Xiuwen finished speaking.
Cheng Lu smiled quietly.
The smile flashed by, he didn’t catch it, and when he looked again, the smile was gone.
Xu Xiuwen finished the hot water in the cup, glanced at the time, and said to Cheng Lu, “It’s getting late, I’ll walk you back to your dorm, then I’ll go back.”
Cheng Lu looked at his flushed face due to drinking and declined his offer, “You don’t need to worry about me. My dorm is very close, just a few minutes away. You’d better go back and rest early.”
After a pause, she asked, “Can you make it back alone, or do you want me to find someone to accompany you?”
Xu Xiuwen waved his hand, “I’m not drunk to that extent, no need.”
Cheng Lu didn’t say anything more.
After bidding farewell to Cheng Lu, Xu Xiuwen left the activity room and headed towards Jiangling.
Tonight’s trip was not in vain. Not only did it resolve his confusion, but it also seemed to have brought him closer to Cheng Lu.
Thinking about the conversation they had just had, Xu Xiuwen finally understood why Cheng Lu had given him such a cold attitude at first.
It turned out she had misunderstood his relationship with Xiao Youran.
In addition, Cheng Lu was upset knowing that a girl had come to the classroom looking for him.
All these signs indicated what?
They indicated that Cheng Lu had a good impression of him.
If she didn’t like him, what did it have to do with Cheng Lu what his relationship with that girl was?
