"Alas! Don't even mention it, he died before he could even begin."
"What's wrong?"
Qiu Bojie poured out his entire story of how he had made a fool of himself.
Wen Jincheng suppressed a laugh, his shoulders shaking.
Qiu Bojie glared at the other person with annoyance, "Laugh if you want, it's not like you've never been laughed at before."
Chu Jiang also retorted, "Don't wrong me. The one who laughed the loudest in this whole thing was Xiao Zhebin."
Xiao Zhebin looked helpless. "I wasn't making fun of you. It's you who won't let it go and keeps bringing it up every day. That's why I can't help but laugh every time I think of that funny scene from that day."
"Tell me, how can a grown man like you have the nerve to let a frail woman open a bottle for you? I'm utterly speechless."
Qiu Bojie looked indignant. "I...I...I was nervous and said the wrong thing."
Xiao Zhebin looked at him with disdain, "No matter how nervous you are, you can't say those stupid things. Aren't you cutting off your own escape route?"
"You're unwilling to give up Zhong Xue and are stubbornly clinging to this flower. I advise you to give up sooner rather than later and choose another path, otherwise our dormitory will have another lonely person."
Qiu Bojie glared angrily at Xiao Zhebin, "Can you please stop bringing this up? It's so annoying."
Xiao Zhebin was so angry that he was incoherent. He pointed at himself and said, "Me? Didn't you bring it up? You should give up on Zhong Xue now. You have no hope."
Can't you say something nice?
"No, I never approved of you pursuing Zhong Xue in the first place. You didn't listen to my advice, and things ended up like this because of your own actions. Things that have no hope should end as soon as possible, otherwise it will hurt both of you."
"It's none of your business!"
"I don't care about you, hmph!"
Seeing that the situation was serious, Wen Jincheng quickly tried to smooth things over, "It's all my fault. I started this. Stop arguing. We're here as guests of the Chu family today. Why are you arguing? Aren't you ashamed?"
The two silently chose to keep quiet.
Seeing that the two had stopped arguing, Chu Jiang put his arm around their shoulders and led them into the living room.
Yu Xuehui came out of the kitchen wearing an apron.
"Hello! Welcome to my home."
Hello, Auntie!
Everyone greeted each other in unison.
Hello! Hello!
After greeting everyone, Yu Xuehui's eyes swept across the faces of the crowd. "Weren't there three men and one woman?"
Chu Jiang also explained, "She's working part-time. I'll pick her up when it's time to eat."
Yu Xuehui was a little disappointed. She had been excited all night after hearing that her dim-witted son would be bringing a girl home to visit today. This was the first time her son had done this since starting university.
How could she not be excited? She went to the supermarket early in the morning and bought a lot of snacks that girls like to eat, which she placed on the coffee table in the living room to entertain the guests.
Yu Xuehui scolded playfully, "You brat, you definitely didn't tell her beforehand."
Chu Jiang scratched his head sheepishly, "I said it this morning."
Yu Xuehui sighed, "You're hopeless. Looks like you're destined to be an old bachelor."
Chu Jiang smiled wryly. Even if he had told Xi Ran in advance, she would have refused. After all, nothing is more important than making money.
Living in that suffocating family environment, Xi Ran was quite pitiful. If she didn't work, she wouldn't have any money. Every day, she probably thought most about how to solve the problem of the next meal and how to save money.
Every time he saw that slender figure, he couldn't help but want to be nice to her, but that girl was stubborn and wouldn't accept other people's kindness for no reason.
The phrase he heard most often was, "Stay away from her; you don't want to be a burden to me."
