Chapter 20: Good Words Cannot Persuade a Stubborn Ghost

Liang Zhirou asked Lin Miaomiao on WeChat where they changed clothes and then quietly took Chen Lu to the empty classroom.

Lin Miaomiao specifically reminded her that this was a professional classroom and there was no surveillance.

Chen Lu silently followed her, inexplicably feeling like they were doing something sneaky.

The clothes were normal, and the people were normal!

At the door.

Liang Zhirou, very cutely, peeked in, looking left and right to make sure no one was around before feeling relieved.

“You…you watch at the door.” Liang Zhirou walked into the classroom, opened the door a crack and whispered to Chen Lu.

“Don’t worry.” Chen Lu leaned against the wall and smiled at her.

Liang Zhirou still wasn’t very relieved and added, “You can’t come in either…”

Chen Lu acted as if he had just realized, “I wouldn’t have thought of that if you hadn’t said it!”

Liang Zhirou immediately closed the door and ignored him.

It turned out that Liang Zhirou’s worries were completely unnecessary. It was so hot now, and it was almost May 1st. These college students were either in class or staying in their dorms. They wouldn’t come here for no reason.

In just a short while, Chen Lu didn’t even see a single person. The entire corridor was very empty.

As a result, he waited for nearly ten minutes, bored to the point of counting the tiles on the wall.

Chen Lu picked up his phone and looked at the time. He was obviously startled after seeing how long it had been.

Do girls need that long to change clothes?

Did she faint inside?

“Liang Zhirou! Are you asleep?” Chen Lu asked with some concern.

“Coming, coming!”

At that moment, the door was finally opened slowly. Liang Zhirou walked in front of Chen Lu with her head down, not saying a word, probably embarrassed.

The girl had her long hair loose, wearing a very tight light blue short-sleeved shirt. The neckline was very low, and the diagonal row of buttons was buttoned very tightly. Her lower body was a black dress.

It accentuated her already impressive figure even more.

Her towering chest almost attracted all of Chen Lu’s attention.

Liang Zhirou seemed to notice Chen Lu’s gaze, turned her head, and quietly pulled at her chest with her fingers, muttering softly, “It’s a little tight…”

Chen Lu felt his nose suddenly get hot. Looking at the girl in front of him, who looked like she had just come back from a film set, he gently brushed aside her long bangs.

The action was very gentle, as if he was trying his best to avoid making her uncomfortable.

As expected, once is twice. Liang Zhirou no longer resisted Chen Lu’s action of brushing her bangs aside. She just squinted her eyes, looking like she was ready to be slaughtered.

This made Chen Lu inexplicably feel a sense of bewilderment. When he stepped out to help her, he hadn’t thought about getting to know this girl.

Even when he looked at her that night and discovered her incomparable beauty, he never thought he would get closer and closer to her.

He couldn’t have imagined that this girl was not only beautiful but also had a sweet and gentle personality. She was especially kind to him, almost completely obedient.

It was like a treasure he had discovered.

After Chen Lu came back to his senses, he shook the phone in his hand.

“Take a picture.”

He was sure that Liang Zhirou wouldn’t wear this dress again.

It would be a shame not to record it.

“Ah?” Liang Zhirou was clearly startled, instinctively taking two steps back until her back was against the wall. “No, no…”

“This is part of the plan.”

Chen Lu said very seriously, then put the girl in the phone’s frame and took a serious picture.

Unlike most guys who would make their girlfriends angry by taking photos, Chen Lu had some knowledge of photography. At least he wouldn’t make people look uglier. When he went on trips, he was the family’s go-to photographer.

If Liang Zhirou hadn’t been so shy, he was confident that he could have taken a better picture with a better background.

After Chen Lu finished taking the picture, he stood up and stared intently at his phone, secretly admiring how even a beautiful girl didn’t need to edit her pictures.

The girl in the photo looked like a startled deer. She didn’t even bother to pose, her hands tightly clutching the hem of her skirt, looking at the camera with a pitiful expression.

Chen Lu couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He was so stunned for a moment that he forgot he had a real person to look at.

“I sent the picture to your WeChat.” Chen Lu chuckled.

Now he completely understood why so many girls liked playing dress-up games like Miracle Nikki.

“Okay, then…then can I take this dress off?”

“No, you can’t.”

……

In a tiered classroom.

“Yuqing, did you really see Chen Lu playing the guitar for another girl a few days ago? Why didn’t you tell me sooner about such a big deal?” Liu Yan asked in disbelief, planning to interrogate Jiang Chao properly tonight to find out what was going on.

She had heard from Mo Yuqing a long time ago that Chen Lu played the guitar very well, but Chen Lu had always kept it a secret, saying it was for Mo Yuqing.

So, the fact that Chen Lu was willing to play the guitar for another girl was not a simple matter…

Chen Lu himself had a good personality and was handsome. It was only natural that other girls would like him.

But if he was really going to give up on Mo Yuqing…

Then, with both sides being willing, the speed at which their relationship progressed would be terrifying.

Other girls might not be as beautiful as Mo Yuqing, but they were definitely not as naive as this girl.

Mo Yuqing looked at several girls dancing gracefully in the distance, nodding silently.

Liu Yan sighed. Although she had always been a motherly figure who liked to nag, she was really tired of advising her now.

But who could she blame? She was Mo Yuqing’s best friend.

“…How do you feel?” Liu Yan asked with a bitter smile.

Mo Yuqing’s slender fingers intertwined, squeezing each other, looking very anxious. “Uncomfortable.”

Liu Yan sighed helplessly, “Then why are you still being stubborn? You should be indifferent if you don’t have feelings for him. There are so many people chasing you, do you care if they are with other girls?”

Mo Yuqing shook her head slowly.

She didn’t care about others, and she didn’t even remember the names of many of them.

In fact, she would be happy if many of those who were constantly bothering her went to like other girls.

“If you keep going like this, you’ll just have to watch Chen Lu get closer and closer to that girl!” Liu Yan’s voice was filled with a sense of exasperation. “Then you’ll see him hug and kiss other girls, and then you can wait to attend his wedding!”

“No! He can’t be with other girls!”

Mo Yuqing suddenly shouted. Seeing the dance club members turn to look at her, she blushed and bit her lower lip, whispering, “I…I’ll think about it.”

“Just keep being stubborn!”

Liu Yan didn’t say anything more. Huffing and puffing, she picked up the hamburger on the table and took a big bite.

What’s the point of advising her? She’s a masochist!

Good words cannot persuade a stubborn ghost!

“Am I really that bad for him?”

After a long time, Mo Yuqing asked in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly.

“Want to hear the truth? It’s going to be hurtful.” Although Liu Yan knew that Mo Yuqing wouldn’t care about these things, she couldn’t help but ask.

“Just tell me the truth.”

“The truth, huh…”

Liu Yan recalled everything she had seen. Taking a deep breath, she said, “You owe him.”

Mo Yuqing didn’t speak again. She froze there, like a beautiful and exquisite sculpture, motionless.

No one knew what she was thinking.

……

Liu Yan finished her KFC and got up to throw away the trash.

But as soon as she stood up, her arm was gently pulled.

Even though it was very hot, Mo Yuqing’s hand was a little cold.

“Do you think Chen Lu will change his mind after being with me? He’s playing the guitar for another girl right now.” Mo Yuqing’s voice was faintly choked with sobs.

Liu Yan was surprised and then felt strange. She didn’t expect Mo Yuqing to be so insecure.

But she still said helplessly, “You shouldn’t ask me this question. Aren’t you two childhood sweethearts? Don’t you have any idea?”

Even she couldn’t imagine how Chen Lu had persisted for years. She was sure she loved Jiang Chao, but if she had to do what Chen Lu did every day—

She really couldn’t do it.

The insecurity wasn’t Chen Lu’s fault, but her best friend’s own problem.

She was used to getting her way and had become accustomed to Chen Lu’s extraordinary kindness. How could she still feel secure with him?

You take his love, which is ten times greater than ordinary people, for granted. Who else in the world can give you security?

Chen Lu had reached his limit. How much better could he be?

She sighed helplessly again.

“Besides, whether he will change his mind after being with you is not something you should be thinking about right now. You should be thinking about how to make Chen Lu turn around.”

Liu Yan patted Mo Yuqing’s head and turned to throw away the trash.

Mo Yuqing looked at Liu Yan’s back, speechless.

My parents were also childhood sweethearts…
