Lu Yibei did not know Ning Jinyu.
My understanding of him exists only in the few words that Chu Chu described—and there are certainly many exaggerations in them.
So when Ning Jinyu asked if he could help him contact Chu Chu...
Lu Yibei's answer was,
"Yes, but whether Chu Chu is willing to see you or not is none of my business."
Ning Jinyu thought for a moment: "...Oh."
Hiding behind Lu Yibei, Ji Qingqian secretly sized up her roommate's ex-boyfriend, and then tugged at her own boyfriend's clothes.
Lu Yibei hummed in response and followed her a little further away.
The latter then said softly:
"Abei."
"ah?"
"You went too far."
“…”
"You could have just given him a rocket headbutt, why did you have to follow up with another punch?"
Lu Yibei: ...
"Don't do it again next time."
"No, heroine—you, I... ah?"
Lu Yibei looked at his determined girlfriend, then at her little fists and the red mark on Yu Zai's cheek.
—I'll explain this to Chu Chu properly later.
Lu Yibei finished making the phone call to Chu Chu.
Chu Chu said she would come right away.
After Lu Yibei told Ning Jinyu, he seemed a little happier looking at Ning Jinyu's simple and honest expression.
Lu Yibei thought of:
Did you go to see Chu Chu during the winter break?
"Um."
"She doesn't want to see you?"
"Um."
Ning Jinyu didn't hide anything, nor did she think there was anything wrong with Lu Yibei knowing about it. He answered quite honestly, "Her dad said she wasn't home, and he also told her dad to tell me that she has a new boyfriend."
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Yibei.
…And then, that's what just happened.
“I already told you you have a new boyfriend, why did you still come looking for her?” Lu Yibei said.
Ning Jinyu hummed in agreement again: "I don't believe it, she's just being stubborn."
Lu Yibei: ...
"And that day, when I left her building, I saw her secretly watching from behind the curtains," Ning Jinyu said.
Lu Yibei: ...
This kid has a very thorough understanding of the hero "Chu Chu" in the current version.
In contrast, Lu Yibei could also understand Ning Jinyu's previous feelings.
I came to Jiangda University with a sense of disbelief.
But then she saw Chu Chu walking with other boys.
The boy then left with another girl...
The fluctuations in my mood were just too great.
Ning Jinyu looked at Lu Yibei again.
And the plastic bag hanging from Lu Yibei's hand, which appeared to contain ice cream...
...Won't it melt?
Logically speaking...
Lu Yibei should go and bring the ice cream to the dorm.
Besides, Chu Chu also said he was willing to come and see Ning Jinyu, so let the kid stay here... He and his girlfriend can leave.
Furthermore, this long-separated couple should be given ample private space before reuniting.
but.
"...Don't worry about us."
Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian casually sat down by the flower bed in the distance and opened another box of ice cream.
The two of them crossed their legs and licked the sticks covered in ice cream.
"What a pity," Ji Qingqian said.
"It is indeed a pity," Lu Yibei said.
Why didn't you buy some snacks?!
…
Since June of last year.
Chu Chu never saw Ning Jinyu again.
—Perhaps that's not the right way to put it.
—Or rather, I've never spoken to him face-to-face.
—During winter break, she peeked out from under the curtains. The boy walking past downstairs was just as she remembered him, tall and serene.
Chu Chu should be resolute in his conduct; whining and procrastination will only lead to a relatively unfortunate life.
So even though she knew Ning Jinyu had come to her house to find her, her first thought was one of excitement: "Hasn't he started a new relationship yet?", but she suppressed it.
She asked her father to take matters into her own hands and drive away the boy who had once lived in her heart.
And he made him tell a vicious lie on his behalf.
Hearing such words, Ning Jinyu would surely forget him completely.
"...Then why did you come to Jiangda University?"
As Chu Chu walked toward the location Lu Xuechang had indicated, she muttered her questions.
I don't know if I'm asking the boy I'm about to meet, or if I'm asking myself.
Her nose felt a little sore, as if she wanted to cry—or rather, tears were already welling up in her eyes.
Just as they were about to reach their destination, about to turn a corner, Chu Chu stopped.
She turned on the front-facing camera, tidied her somewhat messy hair, and turned her face left and right to check if there was anything strange on her face.
Then close your eyes tightly and wipe away the tears.
Chu Chu suddenly thought of a line from a song.
From the movie "Fleet of Time".
—If we can't meet again with tears in our eyes, can we at least blush?
She is the exact opposite.
Unable to blush, only her eyes reddened.
Chu Chu took a deep breath and then exhaled.
"Speak politely, don't argue."
She warned herself.
Finally, she stepped over the corner, and after more than half a year, she stood before the boy by the sea once again.
In an instant, countless memories flooded her mind.
These countless fragments of memory eventually coalesced into one, transforming into the image of her first encounter with Ning Jinyu.
