Chapter 236 I Was Counter-Taken by the Male Lead (24)
After the New Year, everything returned to normal. Jiang Rou and Xie Nan's winter vacation was coming to an end, and school was about to start.
Prior to this, Ms. Shen had invited Jiang Rou to her home for dinner many times, but Jiang Rou never accepted the invitation, which Ms. Shen complained about countless times.
He said that Jiang Rou couldn't possibly disregard her as a friend because of a man, which made Jiang Rou both laugh and cry. Xie Nan also complained that his status at home was getting lower and lower, and that Ms. Shen didn't like him very much.
Just like during the holidays, Jiang Rou felt relaxed when school started. Her only burden was that Xie Nan held her hand tightly the whole way. Xie Nan claimed that Jiang Rou was helping him lighten his burden by doing so.
Even 021, who was just bored and watching the drama unfold, was speechless. What a wicked couple! They could easily pull one suitcase with one hand, but they insisted on pulling two suitcases with one hand, while still having one hand free to hold their girlfriend's hand.
A group of people shared the same sentiment. The two of them had become a beautiful sight on the road. After the others left, they mentally complained, "What a wicked little couple!"
When they arrived at the dormitory building, Xie Nan had been nagging and instructing Jiang Rou for almost ten minutes, but showed no sign of stopping.
Jiang Rou interrupted with amusement: "Okay, Anan, I know. Let's go eat together after I'm all ready, okay?"
Xie Nan nodded gently and said softly, "Send me a message when you're ready, and we'll go eat at that barbecue place on West Street."
As she spoke, she handed the suitcase to Jiang Rou, saying with some concern, "Don't try to lift it if you can't. Wait for your roommates to come and help. I'll treat them to a meal in a few days."
Hearing Jiang Rou's repeated assurances, Xie Nan could only leave, turning back every few steps. He sighed inwardly, not wanting to be separated from A-Rou for even a second.
As Jiang Rou watched Xie Nan's retreating figure, she was about to turn around when she felt a light tap on her shoulder, and then several figures appeared beside her.
Tian Weiwei spoke first, her voice playful: "Baby, you must remember to miss me."
Another roommate deliberately chimed in, "Okay, honey, let's eat together later, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou's face flushed red. She grabbed her suitcase and turned to leave, but the others surrounded her again.
Tian Weiwei reached out and touched Jiang Rou's rosy cheeks, sighing as she said, "What a pity, such a beautiful girl is going to be a lucky break for that guy Xie."
Xie Nan, this aloof beauty, is secretly admired by everyone as a male god.
Surrounded by several people, Jiang Rou blushed deeply. Faced with their teasing, she said with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, "If you say that again, I won't talk to you anymore."
It had a hint of embarrassment and anger.
Seeing this, the group repeatedly promised not to speak again, and then escorted Jiang Rou towards the dormitory, their laughter frequently echoing along the way, drawing the attention of others.
Visitors to the campus often sigh with a sense of wonder at how wonderful it is to be young.
Back in the dormitory, the group, no longer hesitant, immediately surrounded the person and began questioning them:
"Tell me, how did you get together? Who confessed?"
What did you say when you confessed your feelings?
"We're not related, we're not related"
....
With everyone talking at once, Jiang Rou didn't have a chance to speak. As their words became increasingly absurd, she quickly interrupted them and gave them a few brief answers.
The others were very dissatisfied with her perfunctory answer; who could imagine their shock when they learned of this?
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they had just woken up in a daze when they saw Jiang Rou's simple sentence, which immediately scared away their sleepiness.
Although they knew the two of them were somewhat involved, they never expected Xie Nan to act so quickly.
The group looked at the girl in front of them. Two blushes rose on her fair cheeks from shyness. She unconsciously bit her cherry lips, her long eyelashes trembled, and her slender fingers pinched the hem of her clothes.
The group was stunned for a moment, and after a while they came to their senses, they muttered to themselves: Xie Nan's speed is still too slow. He can endure this for more than half a year. He is indeed a master.
After being questioned by her roommates, Jiang Rou finally managed to get away and asked when they were free, telling them that Xie Nan had invited them to dinner.
Several people said they were single and always available.
Just as she finished packing her things, Xie Nan called, much to her relief. After exchanging a few words, Jiang Rou blushed and went downstairs under her roommate's teasing gaze.
When Xie Nan saw Jiang Rou, he reached out to take the bag from his girlfriend's hand, but she pulled him forward quickly. Just as he was wondering what was going on, he heard a loud shout behind him.
"Thank you, my god, please take good care of our Rou Rou."
Xie Nan had excellent eyesight and turned around to see the three people standing on the balcony. Seeing Jiang Rou's increasingly quick pace, Xie Nan smiled and nodded slightly to them.
Then he took the bag from Jiang Rou's hand, stepped forward and half-embraced her. Sure enough, a few more exclamations came. Jiang Rou glared at Xie Nan, which earned her an even brighter smile from him.
Lou Shu and her friends went out for dinner. Halfway through the meal, she went out to use the restroom. Because she had been drinking, she had to lean against the wall to support herself as she walked.
Turning the corner, Lou Shu bumped into someone without noticing. Hearing a cry of surprise, she instinctively reached out to grab the person who was about to fall.
Once she had regained her footing, Lou Shu was somewhat amazed by the person in front of her. She attended an arts school, where there were many beautiful girls, but she had never seen anyone of this caliber before.
She almost bumped into someone, and Lou Shu spoke first: "Are you alright? I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
Jiang Rou looked at the person in front of her and thought to herself how small the world was, but she smiled and said in a gentle tone, "It's okay. I should thank you for stopping me, otherwise I would have really embarrassed myself."
He chuckled twice after saying that.
Lou Shu felt a sense of goodwill towards Jiang Rou because she was so easy to talk to. She nodded slightly to Jiang Rou and walked past her.
Unexpectedly, she had only taken two steps when she heard a familiar voice: "Arou, are you alright? Why is your forehead red?"
Lou Shu turned around and saw the person from her memory—Xie Nan. He was completely different from the cold and indifferent person in her memory. He was gently touching the pretty girl's slightly red forehead, his eyes full of heartache.
The two's intimate actions awakened Lou Shu. Looking again, she could only see their backs. Lou Shu instantly remembered the figures she had seen last time; it was them.
She took a few steps forward, intending to call out to the two, but suddenly stopped. What was her status? Judging from their intimate actions, it was obvious what their relationship was.
Thinking about her friend's thoughts, Lou Shu frowned slightly. No one did anything wrong in this matter. It's not wrong for Xie Nan not to like Xu Xi. It's normal for that pretty girl to have a boyfriend in college. She didn't do anything wrong either.
As for his friend, it's not wrong for him to like Xie Nan, but now that Xie Nan has a girlfriend, it would be wrong for him to continue liking him.
She glanced one last time at the disappearing figure, sighed softly, and hoped that Xu Xi had already forgotten Xie Nan.
