The original four-person meal has become a five-person meal.
Afterwards, Su Chuanlin pulled Xiang Niannian away amidst the surprised gazes of others, because he simply couldn't stand Wang Wentao anymore.
The moment that mouth opened, it was always talking to Xiang Niannian, and it liked to move around a lot.
"Wang Wentao, am I sure this is an assist?"
Wang Wentao lay back in his chair and said, "You guys don't understand. If you like someone, you should say it as soon as possible. Don't I know you? You're just making her overthink things and become more timid. You might as well just be direct."
You see, the more timid a person is, the more they crave excitement; it's the opposite.
After Wang Wentao finished speaking, Nan Sheng thought for a moment and said, "That seems to make sense!"
Upon receiving agreement, Wang Wentao immediately sat up straight: "So Brother Su definitely won't hide anything now. People in love become foolish."
"Wang Wentao, you know a lot! How come I never noticed before? You noticed it the first time I saw it. Tell me, do you usually watch too many female-oriented romance TV shows and comics?"
Nan Sheng realized that she had naively thought it was normal for her brother to be nice to her best friend, but it seemed she had been too naive.
Wang Wentao, who was finally no longer being looked down upon, was about to enthusiastically share his talent in this area with Nan Sheng when he saw Nan Sheng being pulled away by someone.
"Take a taxi home yourself."
I also received a heartless remark.
"No, Brother Han! What do you mean? Are you abandoning me?" Wang Wentao called out to the two of them as they walked away, but he didn't even get a turn around.
Wang Wentao could only look up to the sky and sigh, "They're bullying me because I'm all alone!"
After saying that, seeing that there was still so much delicious food on the table, he picked up his chopsticks again and devoured all the food on the table.
Xiang Niannian was completely bewildered when Su Chuanlin suddenly pulled her out.
A thought suddenly popped into my head, and my heart started pounding.
"Second Brother Su...?"
Xiang Niannian followed Su Chuanlin's hurried footsteps while trying to break free from his hand.
But they couldn't break free.
Finally, Su Chuanlin led the person to a small park on the street.
He looked at Xiang Niannian without saying anything.
He immediately pulled out his phone and opened the chat: "Is your phone broken?"
Xiang Niannian was taken aback, not knowing what he was talking about, but when she saw the chat message Su Chuanlin sent her, she felt a little embarrassed and shook her head.
"Then why haven't I received any messages since I returned to Beicheng last time?" Su Chuanlin had been wondering something was wrong while he was in Beicheng.
He hadn't been texting her often, so why did he suddenly stop replying? When he saw her today, he wanted to ask her about it.
But when he realized she seemed oblivious, he simply kept quiet.
Things are different now. He's going to lay his cards on the table; he, Su Chuanlin, is going to pursue her openly and honestly.
Can I say I forgot?
Xiang Niannian stole glances at Su Chuanlin's expression.
She did see his message, but she was preoccupied with other thoughts and forgot to reply, and didn't think of it again later.
Seeing her cautious demeanor, Su Chuanlin didn't ask any further questions and put his phone away.
"Okay, Xiang Niannian, you really didn't notice at all?"
Xiang Niannian felt a knot in her heart; Wang Wentao was right after all.
For some reason, Xiang Niannian felt a little like running away.
"I don't know, Second Brother Su. I'm leaving now. Sheng Sheng is waiting for us."
As soon as Xiang Niannian finished speaking, she turned to run away, but Su Chuanlin, who was planning to confront her, was not about to let her go. He grabbed her hand and pulled her back with force.
"Don't call me 'brother,' just call me by my name, Su Chuanlin."
Including the "sister" he mentioned today, he doesn't acknowledge it. Even if she is a sister, she's just a romantic sister.
"It seems you knew beforehand, that's why you're acting this way, right?" Su Chuanlin simply took Xiang Niannian's hands in both of his.
The direct physical contact caused Xiang Niannian to instinctively struggle.
Su Chuanlin sighed slightly, thankfully he didn't hug her directly.
Not getting a reply, Su Chuanlin wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he continued to speak, but this time he was much calmer and gentler.
"Don't move. I know you want to escape, and you can escape, but let me tell you, even if you leave this time, there will be another time, so you don't need to hide. I'm not some monster."
After saying that, Su Chuanlin felt that Xiang Niannian was not struggling, so he loosened his grip slightly.
When Xiang Niannian saw Chuan Lin staring at her like she was prey, she felt a little flustered: "No... you are Sheng Sheng's brother."
This answer made Su Chuanlin laugh.
"So you knew, right?"
Su Chuanlin put his hands in his pockets, raised his eyebrows, and smiled broadly.
"It's okay, it's best if you know. Just don't avoid it. Xiang Niannian, you are very outstanding. While you rely on others, others will also rely on you at the same time, because everyone is a unique individual."
Xiang Niannian didn't answer, and just stared at Su Chuanlin.
Everyone is a unique individual, how could she not know that? But not everyone can be relied upon by others.

In the afternoon, as evening approached, people came and went in the school.
The two strolled hand in hand through the campus, attracting countless glances because of their good looks.
