Chapter 38: Fishing

Chen Lu saw Liang Zhirou struggling to raise her head, and couldn’t help but curl his lips.

The girl walked step by step, and he stood there motionless, watching her.

Only when her figure disappeared at the end did he turn and leave.

He was about to return to the car when a drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Raindrops pattered and dripped onto the ground, leaving one mark after another.

Those that landed on his face flowed down his cheeks, onto his neck, and his Adam’s apple, bringing a chill.

He had to admit that he was indeed flustered when he heard Mo Yuqing apologize in public today.

Looking at the scene before him, Chen Lu didn’t even notice that he was getting wet, and secretly made up his mind:

Since he had entered this silly girl’s life, he had to take responsibility.

Let the past be the past.

Quickly forget everything that happened, cleanse his heart and make it empty, then find a way to bring a smile to this silly girl’s face as soon as possible.

Liang Zhirou was not a substitute for Mo Yuqing, nor could she be.

Liang Zhirou is Liang Zhirou.

At this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Liang Zhirou: Go back quickly, don’t get wet.

Chen Lu: How can I get wet in the car, are you stupid?

Liang Zhirou: You’re lying to me again… I saw you didn’t leave.

Chen Lu squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw the girl’s little head peeking out.

She quickly left after being discovered.

He picked up his phone, tapped the screen, “Go back quickly!”

Then he couldn’t help but smile again, returned to the car, ignited the engine, and the car slowly drove through the rainy night.

This silly girl actually came back secretly to peek at me, so naughty.

……

On the way back, Chen Lu was still driving and reminiscing about the feeling of being fed on the way here.

This was the first time a girl had fed him something.

It felt good.

It made him happy.

Chen Lu was very grateful that he wasn’t looking in the mirror right now, otherwise he would definitely see himself looking like a fool.

Arriving at the dormitory door, Chen Lu stretched, slowly opened the door.

“My good sons! Dad is back!”

He shouted.

“……”

As a result, there was no one in the dormitory.

Damn! Where are they?!

Chen Lu looked around in shock and sent a message in the dormitory group.

Chen Lu: You guys didn’t go out to eat without me, did you? I’m being isolated?

Li Sinian: I was indeed at a gathering, but it was a dinner party to celebrate the evening party.

Zheng Haoyu: Brother Lu, you know me, I moved out a while ago.

Jiang Chao didn’t say anything.

Then Li Sinian sent another message.

Li Sinian: You didn’t eat dinner, did you? I’ll bring you some back?

Chen Lu: I ate street food, a girl fed me.

Li Sinian: XXX

Zheng Haoyu: XXX

Chen Lu showed a satisfied smile and lay down on the bed.

He didn’t expect that from the first day of freshman year, when his roommates saw him, they were mentally prepared to eat his dog food in the future.

Later, after getting to know him a little better, they knew what kind of person he was, so they completely lay flat.

Someone with such good looks and personality couldn’t possibly not have a girlfriend.

As a result, he had been pursuing Mo Yuqing for so long, and he still hadn’t had a girlfriend.

What Jiang Chao and the others didn’t expect was that Chen Lu’s high school friends thought the same way.

They didn’t expect Chen Lu to not have a girlfriend for three years in high school, and they didn’t expect that their own conditions would allow them to experience love before Chen Lu.

Chen Lu had just closed his eyes when his phone vibrated again.

This time it was Jiang Chao who sent it.

Jiang Chao: Come down, it’s urgent, gkd.

Chen Lu didn’t ask any questions, got out of bed and went out.

After all, between boys, the fewer words, the bigger the matter.

……

Chen Lu came to the downstairs of the dormitory building. The rain that had fallen earlier had stopped, but the cold wind brought by the rain was still blowing, and he shivered as soon as he went out.

There weren’t many people around the boys’ dormitory, because those without girlfriends were all in their rooms playing games, while those with girlfriends had all gone to the girls’ dormitory.

Or to a hotel.

It was rare to see couples cuddling around the boys’ dormitory, but it was common to see them around the girls’ dormitory.

Chen Lu looked around but didn’t see Jiang Chao.

He stood under the streetlight, picked up his phone to call him, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a beautiful figure walking towards him.

Too familiar.

So familiar that even if it was just a glimpse, even if it was very dark around, he recognized her immediately.

Chen Lu was stunned.

Mo Yuqing?!

What is she doing here?

Chen Lu raised his head, put his phone back in his pocket, and his expression couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

Was he betrayed by Jiang Chao? Was he instigated by his girlfriend?

Five steps, four steps, three steps… the distance between them kept shortening.

The girl walked closer and closer, until she stood in front of him.

She was still so beautiful, wearing a tight black halter neck sleeveless shirt, the neckline that was exposed just right showed off her extremely charming collarbone, and she was wearing a short skirt of appropriate length, showing off her incredibly eye-catching long legs.

It was still a very fitting outfit for her, and it was obvious that she had dressed up specially.

The strange thing was that she had tied her hair up in a ponytail for the first time ever.

Seeing Chen Lu’s expression, Mo Yuqing, who had been serious, couldn’t help but smile, revealing a faint dimple.

“Jiang Chao didn’t betray you, he got drunk, and Liu Yan took him away.”

Mo Yuqing didn’t finish her sentence, she knew that Chen Lu could guess the rest.

This was the tacit understanding they had developed since they were young.

And Chen Lu did guess the rest.

“So, you’ve been thinking about reasons to invite me out?” Chen Lu said expressionlessly, but his tone was still a little puzzled, “Then Liu Yan, who knew about it, happened to find an opportunity and played this trick with you?”

Mo Yuqing proudly raised her chin, “We’re still so in sync.”

Chen Lu didn’t say anything.

If it had been before, Mo Yuqing would have said this to him, and he would have been able to laugh in his sleep.

But times have changed, and you can’t expect dead ashes to reignite.

It was precisely because it had burned itself out that it turned into ashes.

Seeing Chen Lu’s extremely indifferent and unfamiliar look, Mo Yuqing first felt that reality was becoming very unreal, and then her heart tightened.

He was polite and distant, as if he was facing… a stranger.

In the ten days since she had lost contact with Chen Lu, every minute and every second had been incredibly long, making her restless.

It was as if she had been thrown into a prison cell, forced to constantly think and constantly repent.

Until she completely discovered how passionately Chen Lu had once loved her, until she discovered that Chen Lu was no longer by her side.

So she chose to apologize in public at the evening party, and now she came to Chen Lu.

Even Mo Yuqing herself hadn’t expected that she, who couldn’t even remember the names of many boys, would actually bow her head to a boy.

Now, seeing Chen Lu, she started to be afraid.

The more calm Chen Lu acted, the more panicked she felt.

Finally, she mustered up her courage and tentatively asked in a low voice, “Are you still… angry with me?”
