Chapter 318 Habits Become Second Nature

Once Grandpa Chen's condition stabilized somewhat, Shen Xuewei had to return to school for the start of the new semester.

Fortunately, the elderly couple now live in the city, which has an airport. Although they are more than a thousand kilometers apart, they can still come back to visit occasionally on weekends.

In the second semester of freshman year, students can choose elective courses.

Shen Xuewei's dormitory has four people. Except for Lu Jiayi, the other three all have their own computers and use the campus network. Therefore, when it comes to registering for classes, they are all on standby in the dormitory.

In order to secure her desired class, Lu Jiayi went to the school's computer lab.

With about ten minutes left before the class registration deadline, Su Shu turned around and looked at Shen Xuewei, who was separated from her by the curtain.

"Weiwei, I want to sign up for the Classical Aesthetics class. Why don't you choose the same one as me?"

Compared to this course, Shen Xuewei is currently more interested in literary history and therefore declined, saying:

"No, I'm not very interested in this, so I won't choose it."

"But I think this course is pretty good, and I heard the professor has a great personality. If you come with me, we can go to class together and keep each other company, and you can still give me rides. That would be so convenient..."

Shen Xuewei paused on the mouse, her expression turning somewhat indifferent.

She felt that Su Shu's last sentence was the key point.

In the first semester of freshman year, everyone in the dormitory took the same courses. Su Shu didn't procrastinate, and usually, when Shen Xuewei got up, she would get up around the same time.

Therefore, most of the time, from the dormitory to the cafeteria, and from the cafeteria to the classroom, it was basically Shen Xuewei who drove her.

It was just something that happened on the way, and Shen Xuewei didn't think it was a big deal.

However, once a habit is formed, by the time he said those words, he had already regarded Shen Xuewei as his free driver on campus.

When Shen Xuewei is in a good mood, she speaks more gently.

However, she had been worried about her grandfather's health lately, running back and forth between the two places on weekends, so her mood was naturally not very good.

Furthermore, Su Shu's tone and demeanor when he said this made Shen Xuewei feel disgusted.

"If you think it's good, then go ahead and choose it. I'm not stopping you. Choose whatever you like. As for me, what courses I choose is none of your business."

"Also, you'd better buy your own bicycle. I'm not in good health and don't have the strength to carry people, so I won't be able to carry you in the future."

Su Shu was somewhat taken aback by the undisguised anger in Shen Xuewei's tone.

For nearly half a year, Shen Xuewei was, in her eyes, a person with an extremely good temper, second only to Lu Jiayi.

Lu Jiayi was on good terms with Huang Xin, and not wanting to be left out, she intentionally tried to get along well with Shen Xuewei.

To be honest, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she had just said, and she felt that Shen Xuewei's anger came out of nowhere.

Huang Xin gloated from the side, "That's right, that's right. Weiwei can choose whatever she wants. I didn't even make Jiayi choose the same course as me, but you have the nerve to bring it up with Weiwei."

"Get this straight, Weiwei is here to study, not to be your personal little sister. You're shameless..."

Su Shu immediately retorted, "I'm talking to Weiwei, what business is it of yours? Why are you interrupting?"

However, although Huang Xin's words were unpleasant, Su Shu understood why Shen Xuewei had suddenly become irritable.

She comes from a wealthy family and is surrounded by people who fawn over her. She speaks this way to family, elders, and ordinary friends alike, so she didn't think anything of it before.

Now she knew... She glanced at Shen Xuewei's back, too proud to say something to beg for forgiveness, so she simply stared at the computer screen and didn't say a word.

Huang Xin was the one who would love to see the two of them fall out. Looking left and right, she wished Shen Xuewei and Su Shu would start fighting right away.

However, it's clear that neither of them is paying attention to the other; at most, they're in a cold war.

As the alarm clock on the table went off, she quickly turned it off and counted down the countdown to prepare for course selection.

Shen Xuewei successfully registered for the class and happily clenched her fist.

Huang Xin cheered, "I got it! I got it!"

"No, I have to call Jiayi and ask if she managed to get one."

She hurriedly called Lu Jiayi, while Shen Xuewei, having made an appointment with Lü Zhuyin to participate in a club activity together, skipped class and left the dormitory to go find Lü Zhuyin.

Watching Shen Xuewei's departing figure, Su Shu's lips parted slightly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

From that day on, Su Shu never sat on the back of Shen Xuewei's bicycle again.

The second semester of my freshman year was slightly busier than the first semester, but it was still okay.

While busy attending classes, trading stocks, and writing novels, Shen Xuewei also participated in club activities, made more friends, and took various certification exams, leading a very fulfilling life.

This sense of fulfillment came to her when she realized that since the start of the semester, Lü Songyun had rarely participated in club activities and had been chatting with her less frequently; it was already halfway through the semester.

"Zhuyin, has Songyun been busy lately? It seems like I haven't seen her at school much lately."

Lu Zhuyin, who was beside her, pushed her bicycle and walked with her on the campus path, letting out a long sigh.

"You're such a busy person, and you're only realizing it now?"

After a pause, she said somewhat dejectedly, "Actually, I don't know what she's been doing lately. I heard from her roommates that she runs out of the school as soon as get out of class is over."

“I cornered her in her dorm and asked her, but she absolutely refused to tell me. I think she’s drifted apart from me, and someone else must have stolen her heart.”

She spoke those last words with a heavy tone, conveying a mix of emotions including disappointment, shock, and dissatisfaction.

She and Lü Songyun have been inseparable since childhood, and even went to the same university. They can be said to be the people who understand each other best.

However, her closest sister was secretly doing something behind her back that she didn't know about, and she was determined not to let her know. At this moment, she felt very conflicted.

Having known the two sisters for so long, Shen Xuewei could easily tell which one was the older sister and which one was the younger sister without even looking at the moles on their arms.

Seeing that Lü Zhuyin, who was usually more composed, suddenly had so many emotions, he couldn't help but become curious.

"No way, she even kept it from you?"

Lü Zhuyin nodded angrily, "What do you mean no? She just kept it from me."

Noticing Shen Xuewei's curious expression beside her, she suddenly smiled and took Shen Xuewei's arm.

"Weiwei..."

Hearing her drawn-out tone, Shen Xuewei knew it was definitely not good news, and quickly broke free, saying:

"I don't know anything, so don't ask me to do anything bad for you."

Lu Zhuyin retorted angrily, "In your eyes, am I that kind of person? Am I really that unreliable?"

Shen Xuewei shook her head hesitantly, "It shouldn't be... right?"

Lü Zhuyin's eyes widened. "You actually hesitated? You even added 'should'?"

Shen Xuewei succumbed to her accusing gaze.

"Okay, tell me what it is first, and then I'll consider whether or not to agree."

Lu Zhuyin leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Weiwei, when Songyun leaves school tomorrow, come with me to see what she's going to do, okay?"
