Chu Jiang also feigned ignorance, "What do you mean by 'protesting too much'? I don't understand what you're saying?"
Xiao Zhebin leaned his head casually against the table, a mocking look on his face. "Don't understand what I'm saying? How about I go for a walk in the law department after class? That freshman named Xi Ran should know something, right?"
Chu Jiangyi jumped up from the stool, furious, and shouted, "How dare you!"
Xiao Zhebin facepalmed. Did this incompetent teammate want to die even faster?
How dare they act so recklessly in Abbess Miejue's class! She tugged at Chu Jiangyi's arm and whispered, "Are you crazy? Sit down right now, do you have a death wish?"
Chu Jiang belatedly realized where he was, gave an awkward laugh, and quickly sat back down before Abbess Miejue returned.
That was close!
When Abbess Miejue saw his actions, he would definitely have to run ten laps around the playground.
"It's all your fault! Why did you have to go looking for Xi Ran? You're just making things worse."
"I didn't look for one, why are you getting so worked up?"
Chu Jiang scratched his head awkwardly, "Hehe! I just..."
"I know that concern makes you lose your mind. I didn't realize you changed your mind so quickly. You just gave up on Sun Qing and you've already hooked up with a cute and sweet freshman. How's it going? Did you win her over?"
"No. Do you think it's possible? We haven't known each other for very long, and the girl isn't stupid. Why would she just agree to be someone's girlfriend so easily? She should at least do some research, right?"
Xiao Zhebin shook his head. "Your pursuit skills are too slow. You've been chasing Sun Qing for six years and still haven't won her over. How many years are you planning to pursue Xi Ran, that cute junior from elementary school?"
"Can't you wish me something good? When have I, Chu Jiangyi, ever started pursuing girls in years?"
Xiao Zhebin glanced in Sun Qing's direction and gestured towards Chu Jiangyi with his lip, "Isn't this the reality right in front of us?"
Chu Jiang had nothing to say. Xiao Zhebin was right. He had been too foolish in the past, wasting six years on a girl who didn't love him. But he had already reformed.
“This time it won’t be like that. Xi Ran and Sun Qing are not the same kind of people.”
"So how many years do you plan to pursue Xi Ran? There has to be a time limit. Don't let it become six years for this girl and seven years for that girl, and then you'll have wasted more than ten years of your life. By then you'll be almost thirty. Youth is precious. Don't end up all alone."
"You should learn from me and pursue girls you're confident in, instead of liking a girl and thinking about how to conquer her. That's unrealistic, understand?"
Chu Jiang also looked at Xiao Zhebin with disdain, "You're just setting up bait, chasing whoever takes the bait, what real feelings do you have?"
"What's wrong with that? You can grasp what you can grasp. Can chasing after those illusory things put food on the table?"
"Pshaw! I don't care for this kind of love without feelings. I want to find a girl who truly likes me, and I like her too. Only that kind of relationship can go further, just like my parents. They loved each other their whole lives, never argued, and were sweet and happy."
Xiao Zhebin was taken aback. "No wonder you were willing to spend six years being a simp. So you had a role model at home. My home is different. There's never a quiet day at home. Sometimes it's so noisy that it gives me a headache. Even during winter and summer vacations, I don't want to go back to that suffocating home."
"Especially since my family is sexist, my sister always has to give in to me because of our parents' teachings, which makes me very unhappy. Tell me, do you think I, a grown man, should be expected to give in to a girl?"
"They put all the good food on my plate, but my sister didn't get any. It's so pitiful."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhebin's eyes welled up with tears. "Actually, my parents don't have much real affection for me. They just want me to take care of them when they get old."
Chu Jiang was stunned; he never imagined that such suffocating families still existed.
