Chapter 23 (2/2)

Xiao Rongyu paused at this point. Chen Hansheng asked, “And then?”

“He picked me,” said Xiao Rongyu.

“Oh.” Chen Hansheng’s response was lukewarm.

“But I didn’t accept it.”

Xiao Rongyu smiled, a little proud. But she quickly turned unhappy when Chen Hansheng didn’t respond anymore. “All you do is smoke! You weren’t like this before.”

“You speak as if you know me very well.”

Chen Hansheng sneered. Then he stood up and said, “Alright, let’s go. I’ll walk you back to school. You’re even naggier than my mother.”

Donghai University’s learning environment was much better than that of his school. The self-study rooms were brightly lit from occupancy while students studying in the courtyard loudly recited their studies. The artificial lake was like a mirror reflecting the clouds and moon in the sky, forming a bright ink painting.

The breeze blew gently and the surface of the lake rippled. Hansheng felt unusually peaceful at the moment.

“It seems that there’s a reason Zeng looked down on me. The difference between first batch and second batch students is not only in the quality of our education but also in our mindset. Students, especially couples of my school are probably hiding somewhere to explore the anatomy of the human body instead.”

“What are you mumbling about?”

Xiao Rongyu, who was walking in front, suddenly turned her head and looked straight at Chen Hansheng.

Under the bright moonlight, the artificial lake was reflected in her eyes. There was a soul-stirring beauty on her oval face.

Chen Hansheng was a little dazed. Xiao Rongyu probably also realized that the atmosphere was becoming a little too suggestive. She hurriedly turned around and showed him her graceful back.

Chen Hansheng coughed to break the silence, then changed the topic, “How’s your dorm?”

“It’s fine.”

Xiao Rongyu replied somewhat dejectedly. It seemed that university dorm relationships were more complicated than she had expected.

“What about you? Do you have any plans recently?” asked Xiao Rongyu.

“Yeah.”

Chen Hansheng thought about it and felt that it would be good to talk about it with Xiao Rongyu.

“I want to seriously pursue a girl.”

Xiao Rongyu was shocked as she asked, “Is that girl very beautiful?”

“I have never met anyone more beautiful than her,” said Chen Hansheng.

Based on Shen Youchu’s figure, appearance, and temperament, even Xiao Rongyu would tie with her at most.

‘Never?’

Xiao Rongyu repeated in her thoughts. How old was Hansheng anyway? Wasn’t he just eighteen?

She continued to ask, “What if the girl only wants to study and doesn’t accept you?”

This was a potential problem. Shen Youchu was able to enter the graduate school of Jianye University, which meant that she must have studied hard.

“Well, I’ll just wait for her. I don’t think I will be able to give up,” said Chen Hansheng firmly.

“What if the parents don’t agree?”

Xiao Rongyu’s voice suddenly trembled.

Chen Hansheng thought to himself, ‘Shen Youchu’s parents are already dead, so how could they disagree.’

“I don’t need her parents’ consent. It’s fine as long as she’s willing.”

There was another long period of silence. When they were about to reach Xiao Rongyu’s dormitory, she suddenly made a decision and said, “Hansheng, thank you for your kindness, but I need to seriously consider it first.”

The moment she was done speaking, she immediately went upstairs without looking back, leaving Chen Hansheng staring blankly after her.

“Damn it, I’m going after Shen Youchu. What does she need to consider for?”
