Arui is still driving.
However, it's late at night, and drinking coffee is simply self-torture.
Lu Yibei bought three cups of milk.
Ten yuan a cup, an outrageous price, with absolutely no value for money.
but…
never mind.
"Give."
Lu Yibei handed the steaming hot milk to Chen Guang and Wu Sheng.
The three of them are now sitting together in this Arui restaurant.
There weren't many customers in the shop.
The waiter was idly leaning against the counter, scrolling through his phone.
He showed no interest in the three male students and didn't even bother to look up at them.
But the heating was on so strong that Lu Yibei couldn't help but yawn.
"I'm sorry... Brother Lu, I've made you laugh."
When Chen Guang took it, he sniffed his reddened nose somewhat awkwardly.
"without."
Lu Yibei chuckled: "You're more impressive than I expected; you actually managed to go straight for it..."
This was something Lu Yibei hadn't expected.
In fact, Lu Yibei did not have a high opinion of Chen Guang's pursuit of Chu Chu.
Firstly, Sister Chu's requirements are indeed quite high.
Secondly.
…The fact that the requirements are relatively high was something Ji Qingqian heard Chu Chu say, but when the female knight Ji told Lu Yibei about it…
Lu Yibei, however, had a strange feeling that it wasn't actually a matter of high demands.
Perhaps Chu Chu has been avoiding certain things.
Just like before when she asked Lu Yibei if he had any suitable handsome men, and Lu Yibei mentioned the basketball team, Chu Chu wasn't interested.
When it comes to "dating," she's just talking nonsense.
The king of empty talk, when it comes to real debate, everyone avoids him.
This hardly needs any special proof. Given Chu Chu's appearance and personality, if she really wanted to be in a relationship, she could probably find someone during military training.
However, she remained single.
Not only am I single, I don't even have a romantic interest.
However, Lu Yibei did not tell Chen Guang any of this beforehand.
Or rather, there's no way to tell.
After all, this was just Lu Yibei's speculation, and he couldn't stop the boy from pursuing the girl he liked and expressing his feelings based on his own speculation.
"...One act of courage has led to a lifetime of introversion, that's for sure." Chen Guang gave a bitter smile.
Don't worry about it.
Lu Yibei raised her milk glass and smiled at him, saying, "Life isn't a romance anime; there aren't that many perfect answers."
Chen Guang smiled and clinked his glass with Lu Yibei's.
As the warm milk went down their throats, the three of them walked out of Arui's shop.
After the heating went out, the cool air felt crisp and crunchy when I breathed it into my lungs.
Chen Guang took a deep breath, as if trying to sweep away the gloom of his failed confession:
"Phew, breathing in some fresh air makes me feel so much better."
Lu Yibei interrupted coldly: "Sadness usually comes in the middle of the night, don't be happy too soon."
Chen Guang's face immediately fell:
Lu Yibei laughed: "To give you some advance notice."
"Brother Lu, please don't tell me such painful things..."
Chen Guang was facing such a major event. Although he spoke lightly about it, he was definitely conflicted and upset inside. Before the dormitory closed, he planned to take a walk outside with Wu Sheng.
Since the two were roommates and close friends, Lu Yibei didn't disturb their conversation.
As they were saying goodbye, Chen Guang called out to Lu Yibei again:
"Brother Lu, thank you for treating me."
"If you really want to thank me, remember to come back next time," Lu Yibei said, his hands in his shirt pockets.
Chen Guang smiled, hesitated, but still said:
"Well, if this has caused any trouble for Chu Chu, please apologize for me."
Lu Yibei had already turned around, and he raised his hand and shook it:
"No, don't worry."
Judging from Chen Guang's words, he probably doesn't plan to contact Chu Chu anymore.
He chose the most appropriate and dignified way to end things.
…
“…Uh…”
When Chu Chu heard footsteps behind her, she glanced back out of the corner of her eye and her expression turned somewhat pained.
She was speechless.
I ran into his friend right after I rejected his confession.
Chu Chu prayed softly, "They didn't see me, they didn't see me," but the person behind her quickened their pace and caught up with her in no time.
Chu Chu could no longer pretend not to see it:
"Senior Lu..."
Lu Yibei had only been inside the gates of Jiangda University for a short time when he saw this familiar figure from behind.
He never expected to run into this Miss Chu here.
"Huh? You haven't gone back to your dorm yet?"
Lu Yibei and Chu Chu walked side by side.
"Um."
Chu Chu gave a guilty reply. She wanted to hide the rose, but where could she hide it? Before she could even hide it, Lu Yibei saw it.
"Oh, you even brought flowers?" Lu Yibei said.
“…Mm.” Chu Chu nodded.
"A gift from a suitor? It's quite popular," Lu Yibei said.
Chu Chu didn't answer. Instead, she looked at Lu Yibei and asked:
"Senior Lu, you haven't gone back to your dorm either? Staying out all night, be careful Ji Qingqian doesn't scold you. If you start arguing, secretly add me on WeChat and ask me to put in a good word for you—I'll charge three yuan per sentence!"
Lu Yibei remained indifferent and disdainful.
He's a grown man, how could he let his wife gossip about him just because he came back to the dorm late?
“I’ve already submitted a report,” he said.
Chu Chu: "...Tsk, I didn't realize he was so afraid of his wife."
They're saying the most cowardly things in the harshest tone.
"There are no men in the world who are afraid of their wives."
Lu Yibei raised an eyebrow: "Besides, if it weren't for you, I would be in my dorm right now."
