Chapter 2: I Don’t Like It

“Life has only a few seven-year periods,” Jiang Chao chuckled, somewhat agreeing.

“Exactly.”

Li Sinian and Zheng Haoyu, the two roommates who arrived late, echoed in unison. They agreed with a single sentence and then didn’t mention today’s events.

Chen Lu didn’t say anything else. Just then, a girl holding a stack of flyers stood in front of him, timidly handing him one.

Seeing that he seemed to be looking at something in the distance and hadn’t reacted, the girl whispered, “Hello…”

Her voice was very soft, and her words were quickly drowned out by the noise of the snack street.

Chen Lu finally snapped out of his daze, blankly taking the flyer and remaining motionless like a statue, his thoughts drifting aimlessly.

He didn’t know what he was thinking, and his gaze wasn’t focused.

“Thank you.”

Even though Chen Lu didn’t respond, the girl still politely bowed and said thank you, before continuing to walk in front of others, repeating the same action.

“So honest, if I were handing out flyers, I’d just stuff them all in the trash,” Jiang Chao said, holding a cigarette in his mouth. “But is there anyone supervising this job?”

“I don’t know.”

As soon as Chen Lu finished speaking, he heard the Canon ringtone. He glanced at his phone and his heart trembled when he saw the caller ID.

It was Mo Yuqing. She probably had something else she wanted to ask him for help with.

It couldn’t be that she had changed her mind and considered his confession.

She probably thinks I’ll continue being friends with her…

Chen Lu knew that if he answered the phone now, he could continue to be by Mo Yuqing’s side as before, watching her radiant figure like the moon.

As if nothing happened today.

But, I really don’t want to answer.

I’m really tired…

“Hey, that girl with the low ponytail, the one who just handed you the flyer, how many points do you give her?”

Jiang Chao lit a cigarette and continued talking to himself. “She dresses too plainly, her bangs are so long, her figure is okay, but I can only give her five points.”

Chen Lu looked at him with disgust and said, “You’re so boring.”

He then silently hung up the phone and also looked at that incredibly busy figure.

The girl didn’t seem very old, she was under 5’5″, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans.

Although her clothes were inconspicuous, they couldn’t hide her graceful curves, but her bangs were really long, and she kept her head down while walking, so it seemed that Jiang Chao’s five points were all for her figure.

As the girl moved around, the ponytail at the back of her neck swayed back and forth, both efficient and ordinary.

Looking at her diligent and hardworking attitude, not knowing how to slack off, she must be a college student working part-time. Among the surrounding girls of the same age who were dressed up and giggling, she stood out so much.

Seeing Chen Lu hang up the phone, Jiang Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tone relaxed, as if his previous words were just to distract himself. “What’s wrong with giving a score? Even if someone gives me two points, I can still say thank you with a smile, I’m not double-standard at all! Besides, I just helped an old lady cross the road yesterday, I’m a good boy, okay?”

Chen Lu didn’t bother to say anything more about it, just turned off his phone.

It didn’t take much effort to press the side button of his phone, but Chen Lu felt like he had exerted a lot of effort at this moment.

This is the first time I haven’t answered your call.

Even though you’ve hung up on me countless times.

Sometimes you don’t even answer because you’re just in a bad mood.

…

“Why didn’t he answer?!” Mo Yuqing complained, frowning, biting her lower lip, her slender fingers constantly tapping the screen. “I rejected him before too! Why won’t he answer my call this time! What’s wrong with being friends? Wasn’t it good between us before?”

Her roommate and best friend, Liu Yan, was looking at her helplessly.

For a moment, she was a little dazed, because she was so beautiful, the girl in front of her was so beautiful that even her temper tantrum seemed somewhat “pleasing to the eye”.

It made them all understand why someone would start a war just to see her.

“Even when I was arguing with my parents, he would answer at two in the morning… I’m going to ask him!”

After saying that, Mo Yuqing hurriedly changed out of her lace sleepwear and put on her clothes, not caring about her messy hair, she was about to go out.

Just as she grabbed the doorknob, her roommates thought she had finally come to her senses.

Mo Yuqing came back, sitting on the bed with a pout.

“I’m not going to take the initiative to find someone who doesn’t answer my call!”

Although she had been persuading Mo Yuqing since she returned to the dorm, Liu Yan still sat next to her and put her hand on her shoulder.

“Yuqing, I’ll persuade you one last time, okay? If you like him, it’s not too late to regret it now, Chen Lu has been pursuing you for seven years. Just talking about things after I met you, he would deliver meals to you every day, no matter what time it was, it was always like that. My boyfriend wouldn’t even make me ginger tea with brown sugar when I was on my period, but you always had it.

Besides him, which other guy would learn to cook all the dishes you like? He learned them all for you.

On the surface, you’re the class monitor, but he handles most of the things for you.

Even if you’re used to it, not everyone can receive good morning and good night messages on time every day, right?

And…”

Liu Yan thought for a moment, she still didn’t say the words, “You can’t live without him.”

Even if the relationship between girls is close, you still need to be mindful when chatting, after all, she was Mo Yuqing’s best friend, not Chen Lu’s, and it was already enough to be considered “elbowing outwards” to say those things just now.

Although she didn’t say it, she firmly believed in those words.

When they first started school, Mo Yuqing was isolated from the entire dorm because of her personality, causing misunderstandings.

Later, after Chen Lu tried his best to mediate, the remaining three girls in the dorm started to get along well with her, and finally she became so close to Mo Yuqing.

Chen Lu was just pursuing her, but he still kept his distance from other girls, because she was throwing a tantrum, Chen Lu once stood under the dorm building in the rain for an hour, which made the three of them sigh.

For some reason, it didn’t seem to move Mo Yuqing.

Liu Yan looked at the beautiful girl who was pouting in front of her, and somehow felt like the emperor wasn’t in a hurry but the eunuch was.

Chen Lu has emotional intelligence, looks, and his family background isn’t bad, although it’s not as good as yours, but it’s not bad either, and he’s not without pursuers.

He’s only devoted to you.

Mo Yuqing, your obsession with him has almost become one of his few flaws.

“I… I don’t like him! I didn’t like him before, I don’t like him now, and I won’t like him in the future!”

Mo Yuqing didn’t even take off her clothes, she burrowed into the covers, hiding her entire body, only leaving some long hair spread out.

Although she didn’t have a clear definition of the word “like”, she instinctively denied it out of pride.

Liu Yan and the other two roommates exchanged glances, their good friend really made them love and hate her.

Mo Yuqing is actually very good to the people around her, and she is also very generous, she even gave Chen Lu a brand new laptop for his birthday.

However, she didn’t know what Chen Lu really wanted.

She never responded to Chen Lu’s feelings, and she had tormented him for seven years.

“Yuqing… you will regret it. You will soon feel something is wrong, when you, who have been protected and seem naive, face the world on your own.”

“He will definitely come back to me! Just like before! I’ve known him for so long, I definitely know him better than anyone else.”

At the same time.

On Chen Lu’s side, besides his own sadness, Jiang Chao opened up while trying to persuade him.

“Don’t keep adding sunk costs, your youth is about to pass you by! Are you going to waste your prime on one tree, are you doing justice to the beautiful years of other girls?” Jiang Chao patted Chen Lu’s shoulder and said.

“Is that your reason for being a sea king?” Chen Lu frowned.

“I just want to give them equal love!”

“Come on…”

Just as Chen Lu was about to retort, a roar came from beside him.

Extremely harsh.

“Are you blind?!”
