Chapter 309 Pursuing Again

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure blocked Lu Yuwu's path.

Fu Yan walked over at some point. He was tall and straight, and just standing there he exuded a commanding aura.

He looked calmly at the aggressive girl, his tone flat: "Do you need me to repeat the legal provisions, or call the security department over right now?"

The girl clearly recognized Fu Yan, and his cold gaze made her lose some of her confidence.

Her face turned pale and then flushed.

People around were whispering among themselves.

"Exactly, triple compensation is outrageous."

"Even Fu Yan has stepped in..."

"Is this girl trying to scam someone?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the girl lost face, but dared not confront Fu Yan directly, so she could only snatch the bag that Lu Yuwu had picked up.

"Give me the original price!"

After receiving the compensation, she glared at Lu Yuwu and slunk out of the crowd.

As the commotion subsided, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

Lu Yuwu looked at Fu Yan's back, which was blocking her way, and her feelings were as complicated as a tangled mess.

Just a moment ago, when he stepped forward and came to her rescue with that calm and reliable voice, her heart did indeed flutter uncontrollably.

A long-lost sense of security and protection quietly emerged.

She had to admit that no matter how tough she spoke, Fu Yan always held a special place in her heart.

However, when he thought of his previous arrogance, and that so-called younger sister, Jin Ting, who was always hanging out with him, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

That moment of tenderness and excitement was immediately suppressed by pride and resentment.

She couldn't just let it go like that.

Why is he always like this, slapping you and then giving you a sweet treat?

She, Lu Yuwu, was not a pet he could summon and dismiss at will.

Fu Yan turned around and looked at her. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Yuwu raised her chin first and spoke in a distant and slightly sarcastic tone: "Mind your own business. I can handle it myself."

After saying that, she didn't look at Fu Yan's face, which froze instantly. She grabbed Luo Luo, who was also somewhat bewildered, and turned to leave.

Her steps were quick and resolute, as if lingering for even a second would taint her with something bad.

Fu Yan stood there, watching her leave without a backward glance, raising an eyebrow slightly, a feeling of indescribable frustration welling up inside him.

He thought that by stepping in to help her out, he could at least earn her a better attitude, or at least a less piercing look.

Zhou Zixuan leaned over, patted his shoulder, and said sympathetically, "Miss Lu's temper has remained unchanged for ten years."

Fu Yan remained silent, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his eyes fixed on the direction where Lu Yuwu had disappeared.

A strong sense of resentment grew wildly.

He can't just give up like this.

If compromising and bowing down, even being called a lapdog by her, still can't win her back, then what else can he do?

Are we really going to just watch her go find another new person?

Just imagining that scene made him feel like his heart had been struck by something.

no.

Fu Yan's eyes sharpened, and he took long strides, chasing after Lu Yuwu in the direction she had left.

Lu Yuwu was walking briskly with Luoluo, her mind in turmoil. She was angry at Fu Yan, and also angry at herself for her weak-willed heart just now.

Suddenly, my wrist was grabbed forcefully from behind.

She was startled and turned around to meet Fu Yan's eyes.

"Fu Yan, what are you doing! Let go of me!" Lu Yuwu tried to shake off his hand, but he held it even tighter.

Seeing this, Luo Luo wisely whispered, "Xiao Wu, I'll go back to the dorm and wait for you."

She slipped away quickly.

Ignoring the occasional curious glances from those around them, Fu Yan pulled Lu Yuwu directly to the tree next to them.

"Lu Yuwu, let's talk."

"I have nothing to talk to you about!" Lu Yuwu turned her face away, not wanting to look at him.

Looking at her stubborn profile, Fu Yan suddenly deflated. All his pride and resentment were no match for Lu Yuwu's frantic refusal to turn back.

He closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his eyes held an unprecedented seriousness and resignation.

"OK."

Fu Yan spoke, his voice dry, "Lu Yuwu, you win."

Lu Yuwu was taken aback and turned to look at him in confusion.

Fu Yan looked directly into her eyes and said, word by word, "I was wrong before. I didn't handle my relationship with Jin Ting well, I didn't consider your feelings, and I even thought I was giving you an ultimatum. I apologize."

Lu Yuwu's heart skipped a beat, and she could hardly believe her ears.

Fu Yan... is apologizing to her? The Fu Yan who has been arrogant and overbearing since childhood?

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something sarcastic, but couldn't utter a single word.

Fu Yan looked at her slightly widened eyes and continued, "I don't care about ex-boyfriends or anything like that, and I don't want to hear your nonsense about being bored with me and dumping me. None of that matters."

He took a step closer, his gaze fixed intently on her: "Lu Yuwu, listen to me, from now on, I'm going to pursue you again."

"..." Lu Yuwu was completely stunned, her mind went blank for a moment.

Should I pursue her again?

Seeing her stunned expression, Fu Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his tone remained forceful.

“You can refuse, you can avoid me, you can even call me a busybody like you just did, but I won’t give up. You can also go find your so-called newcomer.”

As Fu Yan spoke, his tone couldn't help but become tinged with bitterness and resentment.

"But I assure you, no one knows you better than me, and no one likes you more than me."

He spoke the last three words very softly, but very seriously.

Lu Yuwu's cheeks began to burn uncontrollably, and her heartbeat lost its normal rhythm.

She looked at Fu Yan in front of her.

He was saying such shameless things, yet his eyes were so serious, even carrying a hint of humility she had never seen before.

"You...you're crazy!" After a long pause, Lu Yuwu finally found her voice, which was filled with obvious panic. "Who asked you to pursue me again! Who do you think you are! I will never agree to you!"

She forcefully shook off his hand, and this time Fu Yan did not try to stop her.

Lu Yuwu ran away like a frightened deer without looking back, looking like she was fleeing in panic.

Fu Yan watched her run away, but this time he didn't chase after her.

He stood there, raised his hand to rub his temples, but a confident smile slowly crept onto his lips.

He knew she was upset.

That's enough.

restart?

No, he never really wanted it to end.

Since she refuses to go back to the past, he will create a new future for Fu Yan and Lu Yuwu himself.

He has plenty of patience and methods.

...

Lu Yuwu thought that Fu Yan's words about pursuing her again were just a momentary impulse due to his young master's temper, but she didn't expect that he was serious.

The next day at noon, she deliberately lingered until almost past lunchtime before strolling into the cafeteria with Luo, trying to avoid someone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped through the door, they saw Fu Yan and Zhou Zixuan sitting near the spot where they had been yesterday.

Two plates were placed prominently in front of Fu Yan.

One was in front of him, and the other, fully occupied, was placed in the empty seat opposite him.

Lu Yuwu paused, then pulled Luo Luo and tried to change direction.

"Lu Yuwu." Fu Yan's voice wasn't loud, but it traveled through the slightly noisy cafeteria and reached her ear.

He stood up and, under countless gazes, both overt and covert, walked up to her, his eyes landing on her face.

"I've prepared it for you: sweet and sour pork and stir-fried broccoli, both of your favorite dishes."

He spoke casually, as if they had never had any unpleasantness at all.

Whispers had already begun to circulate around them.

Wow, Fu Yan is getting food for a girl?

"Isn't that Lu Yuwu, the most beautiful girl in the design school? What's their relationship?"

Is Fu, the school heartthrob, pursuing her?

Lu Yuwu felt her face burning, especially when she felt the gazes coming from all directions.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, raised her chin, and glanced at the plate.

Lu Yuwu pouted, her tone critical: "Thank you, but no need. People's tastes change. I don't like eating these things anymore."

She pulled Luo Luo along and headed straight for the food window, ordering a completely different spicy hot pot. Then she found a corner furthest from Fu Yan and sat down, not glancing at him once more.

Fu Yan watched her retreating figure, then glanced at the food in front of him, his eyes darkening.

He didn't say anything, he just silently sat back down.

Zhou Zixuan, struggling to suppress his laughter, said, "What a bad start, Young Master Fu. They've changed their tastes."

Fu Yan picked up his chopsticks and slowly began to eat his own portion of food, saying in a calm tone, "It's alright, there's plenty of time."

With no classes in the afternoon, Lu Yuwu decided to go to the library to avoid the commotion and find some design-related materials.

She deliberately chose the most secluded seat by the window, and not long after she sat down, she felt the light next to her dim.

Fu Yan, holding a book, sat down in the empty seat next to her with remarkable ease.

Lu Yuwu: "..."

The ghost won't leave!

She held back for a moment, deciding to ignore him and bury herself in her book.

After a while, a boy wearing glasses and looking very polite walked over.

He stood somewhat shyly by Lu Yuwu's desk: "Hi, I'm Wang Jie from the architecture department. Can...can we get to know each other? Can we add each other on WeChat?"

Lu Yuwu was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Fu Yan next to her had already raised his head.

He showed no expression, only glancing indifferently at the boy: "Sorry, she's busy, and..."

He paused, then turned his gaze to Lu Yuwu, a smile playing on his lips, his tone carrying a sense of natural intimacy.

"She's a picky eater and doesn't really like bland food."

Wang Ke's face flushed instantly. She glanced at Fu Yan, then at the expressionless Lu Yuwu, awkwardly apologized, and hurriedly left.

Fu Yan withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and continued reading his book, as if he had merely shooed away a fly.

Lu Yuwu was so angry that her teeth itched, and she lowered her voice.

"Fu Yan, are you crazy?! Who told you to answer for me?! What business is it of yours who I add on WeChat?!"

Fu Yan turned her head and looked at her puffed-up face with an innocent gaze.

"I'm helping you filter out those types that don't meet your new taste criteria."

"You!" Lu Yuwu was so angry at his twisted logic that she couldn't speak. She glared at him fiercely, picked up her books, and stood up.

I can't be bothered with you!

She quickly changed seats to ones that were a long way away from him.
