You didn’t accept my confession, why are you crying because I changed my mind? Chapter 26 - My Boyfriend is Here to Pick Me Up

Chapter 26: My Boyfriend is Here to Pick Up

“Yuwei, let’s have dinner together tonight.”

“Yeah, we’re all new here. It’s good to get to know each other better.”

“I’ll treat you to Western food on Shui Street. I have a mbership, so we won’t have to wait for a table!”

“We could go to the Shangjing Hotel too. I’m local, and I can show you the light show tonight!”

At the Qingbei University dical School teaching building, a large crowd of male students poured out the front doors, full of energy and excitent.

In the center of the crowd walked Chu Yuwei, her brows tightly furrowed.

That afternoon at 3 o’clock, her class had their freshman orientation.

The mont she appeared, the entire classroom was instantly thrown into chaos.

Girls who study dicine were generally decent-looking, but Chu Yuwei’s appearance made the others pale in comparison.

In just one hour of the orientation, the forr school beauty of Chengnan gained more than twenty new admirers.

Now, with dinner ti approaching, everyone was desperately trying to secure a spot to eat dinner with the campus goddess.

But clearly, Chu Yuwei wasn’t interested in any of them.

She kept clutching her phone, waiting for soone to reply.

But that soone hadn’t been online since after 4 p.m.

Even if he wasn’t coming, couldn’t he at least say so?

And yet, here I am, foolishly waiting.

And what’s worse, I actually obeyed so willingly.

“Chu, let’s go, it’s only ten minutes from here.”

“Co with instead, that Western restaurant is really famous in Shangjing.”

“Goddesses usually skip dinner. Co with , I’ll take you to a movie.”

“They don’t even have a car. You should co with instead.”

Dozens of guys talked over each other, their voices and tones mixing into a chaotic ss that made her head spin.

Annoyed to no end, Chu Yuwei stopped walking.

“Sorry, but I already told you that I have a boyfriend, and he’ll be having dinner with .”

One of the guys at the front frowned. “I asked a friend from Linjiang, and they said you’ve always been single.”

Chu Yuwei had no strength left to argue. She simply sat down on a bench by the lake.

She was going to wait for that person here, whether they liked it or not.

If they wanted to follow, so be it.

Besides, it was getting dark. With this many people around, she didn’t feel unsafe.

And so, a now-iconic scene unfolded on the lakeside at Qingbei University, a group of male students sat in rows along the walking path.

And in front of them sat a girl as beautiful as a painting, staring at her phone the whole ti.

The boys all had a simple idea in mind: Chu Yuwei said she had a boyfriend. That had to be a lie.

If they waited long enough, maybe they could move her.

Even if she really did have a boyfriend, well, watching a beauty for free didn’t hurt, right?

Slowly, night crept in.

The campus streetlights flickered on.

Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed from the other side of the path.

Everyone turned to look.

Under the warm glow of the lights, a figure walked toward them.

“Yuwei, there you are!

“I just went to your dorm, but your roommate said you weren’t back yet.”

It was Zheng Yu, wearing a slightly formal everyday suit, holding a bouquet of flowers and beaming brightly.

He was ready to confess tonight.

Yes, tonight would be the start of his happiness.

The boys sitting on the path all looked on warily.

Was this the boyfriend Chu had ntioned?

“Zheng Yu, didn’t I tell you not to co?”

Just monts ago, Chu Yuwei had been full of anticipation.

But the mont she saw it was Zheng Yu, her eyes dimd in disappointnt.

Zheng Yu, oblivious, smiled. “I get it. When girls say ‘don’t’, they really an ‘do’, right?”

“You… You think you’re funny, huh?”

“Not bad. Everyone says I’m witty and charming.”

Chu Yuwei was at her wits’ end.

She had rejected Zheng Yu seriously and directly so many tis.

But this guy — who knows how his brain works — always thought she was just playing hard to get.

“Co on, Yuwei. I already made a reservation.”

“No. Go back. Soone else is picking up for dinner.”

Zheng Yu froze.

Did he misread her again?

That couldn’t be right.

He’d bought a book online called Thirty-Six Strategies of Love, and it clearly said: “When a girl says yes, she ans no. When a girl says no, she ans yes.”

Yuwei told him not to co, so wasn’t that just because she didn’t want him to get tired on the way?

Just then, another guy pulled him aside.

“Bro, co sit with us. We’re in line.”

Zheng Yu sat down in confusion. “Line? For what? What are you guys doing?”

The guy sneered. “You’re here to ask Chu Yuwei to dinner too, right? Gotta take turns.”

“You too?!”

The whole group of over twenty boys turned and looked at him.

Zheng Yu paused, then snorted. “No, you’re all just simps. I’m different.”

The guy looked more amused than offended. “Different how? You got Diaochan hanging on your waist or sothing?”

“We were high school classmates. We have history. We were almost a thing.”

“Ah yes, the Three Great Delusions of Man: My phone just vibrated, I can turn this fight around, and she likes .”

“That’s crap! We were almost in a relationship in high school!”

“You had three years and still got nowhere. It’s college now, so what are you bragging for?”

Zheng Yu still didn’t believe them. “Then what are you guys waiting here for?”

The boy glanced at Chu Yuwei. “She said she had a boyfriend. We don’t believe it, so we’re waiting to see.”

Chu Yuwei has a boyfriend?

Impossible.

Last ti at the Shangri-La, she clearly said she would never date in college.

Zheng Yu knew her. She was proud like a little princess.

She would never stoop to lying just to reject soone.

So what os happening now?

Who is this so-called boyfriend?

Beep beep beep!

Suddenly, the QQ notification sound chid.

Chu Yuwei’s eyes lit up imdiately.

“Where are you? Have you eaten?”

“I’m just wandering. Haven’t eaten yet. Want to co?”

“Alright. I’ll co pick you up. Wait for at the gate.”

As soon as she saw the ssage, tears welled up in her eyes.

It wasn’t that eating with Jiang Zhou was so touching.

It was the situation.

Just monts ago, in front of so many people, she had claid that her boyfriend would co get her.

If nobody ca, she would’ve lost all face.

She would’ve had to slink off, humiliated.

For soone as proud as her, that would’ve been heartbreaking.

“My boyfriend really ca! I’m going to the school gate to et him!

“It’s late, you guys should go ho now!”

Beaming with joy, Chu Yuwei waved her phone and ran toward the campus entrance.

Everyone stared after her, curiosity burning.

Who was this person so powerful…

That even their untouchable goddess…

Would run off like a love-struck puppy?
