Chapter 11 However, she ultimately broke her promise.

Why don't I need it?

"..." Su Wanwan was speechless. Wasn't this a rhetorical question? Who could be as good as you, a computer genius? She vaguely said, "I heard from your mother that you seem to teach computers."

“My mom told me,” Xie Yanning repeated, then looked at her and asked, “What else have you heard?”

This seems to imply a sense of accusation or reprimand.

Xie Yanning is quite private, and Su Wanwan couldn't figure out what he didn't want others to know. In fact, Gu Ruyi didn't say much either.

"Not much, just that Huada University is pretty good, but it's a school I can't get into."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan felt an urge to slap herself.

Why bring up school?

"The school next door is pretty good too, did you not get in there either?" Xie Yanning said, looking at her calmly.

Faced with such a gaze, Su Wanwan couldn't help but look away, not daring to meet his eyes.

The school next door has a medical school, which was Su Wanwan's first choice back then, but she changed it later. That year, they seemed to have agreed that if they went to either of these schools, they could even mooch meals from each other.

However, she ultimately broke her promise.

At the last minute, I changed my application and went to the University of Hong Kong's medical school.

"Hmm... then the medical school is pretty good too," Su Wanwan said vaguely.

Xie Yanning smiled and looked away, "But some people might think it's just so-so."

Su Wanwan didn't dare to speak either.

Could these people be referring to her in a veiled way?

At the same time, a sense of frustration welled up in my heart.

Is the University of Hong Kong's medical school really that good? It's also very difficult to get in!

Why should she go to Peking University Medical School and see things that annoy her every day?

Furthermore, since you're pretending not to know each other, why ask about something as trivial as volunteering back then?

"Where did Miss Su study?" Xie Yanning asked in turn.

Su Wanwan: "..."

Ask, ask, ask! What else is there to ask? Don't we already know? Oh, no, we might not have seen her in the lecture hall back then.

Or perhaps no one cared which school she went to.

After graduation, other young couples were all lovey-dovey and didn't care where their classmate ended up.

"The University of Hong Kong."

Xie Yanning nodded, speaking sincerely, "HKU is great. I even gave a lecture there back in the day."

"Oh, really?" Su Wanwan said, "Then you're pretty amazing."

Have you been to that lecture hall?

Su Wanwan lowered her head, paused for a moment, then looked up and smiled, saying, "No, we in the medical school almost never go to that lecture hall."

Xie Yanning looked at the food in front of her and smiled: "There are so many lecture halls, does Miss Su know which one I'm referring to?"

Su Wanwan gripped her chopsticks tightly, then released them, and said calmly:

"I'm guessing. Shao Chenghua studied this. You computer science students mostly use the lecture hall."

"So it turns out it was because of Manager Shao."

Su Wanwan didn't want to respond.

I just want to finish eating as soon as possible.

Xie Yanning's ability to speak in a sarcastic and unsettling way is truly growing day by day.

Fortunately, not talking while eating or sleeping is also a form of table manners.

The meal was finally finished in an almost unbearable atmosphere.

Xie Yanning tidied up.

Su Wanwan felt embarrassed to just eat without doing anything, so she quickly said, "Let me do it."

"If you want to wash, I won't stop you." Xie Yanning remained completely unaffected by the previous conversation, her expression calm.

He doesn't have a particular liking or disliking for cooking; for him, it's purely a survival skill.

It also has a dishwasher.

Looking at the dishwasher, Su Wanwan fell silent once again.

She just put it in; is that considered helping or not? Is it any different from throwing clothes into the washing machine and turning it on?

Seeing her standing there, Xie Yanning leaned against the kitchen door and chuckled, "Miss Su, you don't know how to use it, do you?"

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "It's not that bad."

Although she lived a life of luxury, she was not lazy or ignorant of farming.

Standing in front of the sink, watching the water gushing down, Su Wanwan thought it best to avoid contact with it in the future.

When she finished setting everything out, Xie Yanning told her, "Your phone rang."

Thinking it was something important, Su Wanwan walked over and saw the three large characters "Chen Heting" on it.

The number is the one I saved last time.

Seeing that she seemed determined to persist, Su Wanwan had no choice but to answer the call.

Hello.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Heting's smile seemed a little forced; why was he still being so polite?

"Nothing much, just calling to see if you've gotten home yet."

Su Wanwan: "..." Strictly speaking, they weren't even friends, so there was really no need for them to report to each other.

"We've arrived, and I'm getting ready to sleep."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yanning raised an eyebrow, knowing that Chen Heting must be the man she had met that afternoon.

"very tired?"

Su Wanwan feigned exhaustion, "Yes, I'm really tired. I can't talk to you anymore, I'm going to sleep now."

She glanced casually at the wall clock in the living room.

The time was 7:30.

Su Wanwan: "..." This timing seems a little unconvincing.

Since she had already said that, Chen Heting couldn't press the matter any further and could only tell her to get some rest.

Su Wanwan responded with two "uh-huhs".

After hanging up the phone, seeing Xie Yanning's slightly interested look, Su Wanwan said quite matter-of-factly, "I am indeed tired. Thank you for your hospitality. I'll head back now."

Xie Yanning didn't try to stop her, saying, "I'll take you back."

Su Wanwan: "???"

"My home is just upstairs." It's only a short walk; there's really no need to go to the point of delivering it.

Xie Yanning walked to the front and opened the door. "That must be at least ten meters long."

Su Wanwan's house is on the other side; you just need to go around it.

"Alright then."

Xie Yanning has always been a very gentlemanly person.

A cool breeze was blowing outside the door.

“Your rejection only gives people hope,” Xie Yanning suddenly said.

Su Wanwan realized what Xie Yanning had done and couldn't help but sneer, "So, Professor Xie, what kind of rejection do you think is best? Find a man to hug and kiss him in front of him, so he'll give up?"

“Yes, this method is indeed quite good.” Su Wanwan nodded, “It makes people give up completely by humiliating them.”

“That’s not what I meant.” Xie Yanning frowned, seemingly not understanding why Su Wanwan suddenly reacted as if she had swallowed some kind of explosive. “I was just giving a suggestion.”

"Thank you for your suggestion, Professor Xie. I will take it into consideration."

It's just a few steps, we'll get there quickly.

She pressed her fingerprint to lock the door and, without giving Xie Yanning a chance to speak, turned around and closed the door.

Inside the door, Su Wanwan leaned against the wall, looking up at the night sky.

She felt very embarrassed.

Xie Yanning didn't forget her; she just felt there was no need to.

It turns out that his almost humiliating rejection back then held no place in his heart at all; he didn't even remember rejecting her back then.

How confident must she have been back then to believe that Xie Yanning had even the slightest bit of affection for her?

Outside the door, Xie Yanning stared at the tightly locked door, his eyes filled with darkness.

Going upstairs, Su Wanwan went into the bathroom to take a shower. The warm water flowed over her body, and Su Wanwan finally felt warm.

Perhaps sensing its owner's low spirits, Yuanxiao scratched at the door from outside, meowing incessantly.

Su Wanwan came out drying her hair, looked down at the glutinous rice ball she was lightly licking, and said, "You're still the best."

That night, Su Wanwan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
