"What Yuanyuan said makes sense." Lin Xuwan nodded with a smile, "I just regret being too restrained in my third year of high school, so I missed my secret crush. Now I’ve finally found soone who looks good and feels right, if I’m still reserved, when I’m old and gray, you better bring fruit to the nursing ho to visit !"
Lu Shishu rolled her eyes again; she’d heard similar remarks from them plenty since last sester.
Halfway through the walk, sohow the three of them strolling side by side turned into her and Nan Jiayan together, Lin Xuwan with Ling Xuyang, and He Qianyue naturally fell in step with Ming Haize, creating an illusion of three couples.
Especially Lin Xuwan and Ling Xuyang, who were chatting away effortlessly, their laughter trailing behind them throughout the walk. He Qianyue and Ming Haize were harmonious too, though not as lively, but still good overall.
Seeing this scene, Lu Shishu suddenly wondered why she was even pursuing art.
Shouldn’t matchmaking be a better choice?
Look, in just over ten minutes she’d almost paired two couples; it’s not acceptable! Later she needed to demand so compensation; a sester’s worth of breakfast and lunch couldn’t resolve her disdain and speechlessness. Those two silly girls had to cough up sothing substantial.
"Did Yan Chengxi say anything to you this morning?" As she was internally cursing those two idiotic girls obsessed with so guy, a pleasant, calm voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
"Hmm?" Lu Shishu glanced at him and couldn’t help but laugh lightly, "What could she say to ? At most, she’d ask if the stuff on the forum is true!"
"How did you respond?"
"I just said it’s none of her business. With her questioning attitude, she wouldn’t get any good words from . She really thought she was soone important." Lu Shishu humd nonchalantly, then felt sothing was off. She thought she heard him chuckle, but when she turned to look, he showed no expression, eyes slightly squinted as he glanced at her, "What do you an? Do you want to explain it to her nicely or fight her in the cafeteria?"
Nan Jiayan couldn’t help but laugh at this, "Didn’t I tell you on WeChat? No need to say much to her, or even acknowledge her. Next ti she seeks you out, just ignore her."
"Ha, forget it! You’ll never understand the destructive power of a woman’s jealousy. You’d better find a chance to post sothing to clarify our relationship! I don’t want to keep being misunderstood; all day today, everywhere I go, people look at like I’m a monkey—makes my skin crawl. Plus, I don’t have the energy to deal with won like Yan Chengxi, pretentious and coy, far too exhausting, not for ." Lu Shishu coldly chuckled, rolled her eyes at him, recalling Yan Chengxi’s look towards her that morning, which gave her a headache knowing that woman wouldn’t easily let it go, judging by her posture.
"Don’t worry, I won’t let that happen." Nan Jiayan smiled, asserting confidently with absolute certainty.
Listening to his words made Lu Shishu feel sothing was off, peculiar, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what. It was as if they truly were a couple, with him protecting her.
But since he hadn’t clearly stated it, she couldn’t forcefully point it out lest it made her seem self-important and awkward!
After arriving at West Street, Lu Shishu and the others went from shop to shop. Lu Shishu didn’t find suitable clothes, whereas He Qianyue and Lin Xuwan had bought three or four outfits, including hats and shoes, leaving nothing out.
Whether it was because of Nan Jiayan’s presence or not, Lu Shishu lacked the mood for clothes shopping now, feeling everything unsuitable for her taste. No matter how He Qianyue and Lin Xuwan recomnded, she remained indifferent, continuously shaking her head saying, "Hmm, average, not for . You guys like it, go try it."
After shopping for a while, the group found a milk tea shop to settle down, each ordering their favorite drink. Seeing Lu Shishu empty-handed on both sides, He Qianyue asked with a tiny bit of guilt, "Um... Shi Shu, you’re really not buying clothes?"
