“I think no one is more suitable than you. Getting to know a girl again takes a lot of time, and I don’t have the patience to get to know one girl after another. You are the best choice.”
"I don't dislike you, and I have feelings for you. After six years of being a simp, I trust my judgment. I'm sure I won't make the wrong choice this time. I just hope you won't make me regret it."
Xi Ran pursed her lips, unsure of what to say, but out of humanitarian considerations, she still had to tell him.
“My family has a lot of creditors, this is no joke. Besides, I don’t think your parents would agree to us being together.”
Chu Jiang smiled, looking indifferent, "It's okay if you owe a lot of money. I'll be starting my internship soon, and I'll help you pay it off when I earn the money."
Xi Ran's eyes instantly turned red and filled with tears, but she stubbornly held them back.
"Don't be so good to me, I can't repay you. My family has a heavy burden, so I'm not suitable for dating or getting married."
"You don't seem like the type to be promiscuous, otherwise you wouldn't have pursued a girl for six years. I don't want to hurt you. The best choice is to cut ties now, before any feelings develop."
"That girl must have done something terrible to make you give up on her, but I'm definitely not the next one. Please stay away from me, I don't need your responsibility."
Chu Jiang didn't want to listen to her grand theories and chose to ignore them. "Don't talk about that nonsense. I don't want to hear it. We have a deep connection. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met you the first time I got drunk and something indescribable happened. We are destined to be together."
"Don't think so much, you're acting like an old woman. You're so young, be careful not to age prematurely."
Xi Ran stared at the receding figure, tears streaming down her face.
This was the first time she had received care from a stranger, and the first time someone had taken the initiative to help her share her debts and pay them off. At that moment, her heart broke down, and she could no longer hold back her tears, which attracted strange looks from passing students.
"Junior, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Should I take you to the infirmary?"
"No need, thank you, senior."
Xi Ran wiped away her tears, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank the cola and ate instant noodles in big gulps, feeling extremely satisfied.
Regardless of whether what Chu Jiangyi said was true or not, her heart was warmed at that moment.
Many years later, Xi Ran still feels incredibly warm whenever she recalls this moment.
Chu Jiang returned to the boys' dormitory with light steps, feeling much better after resolving the matter on his mind.
"Yi-ge, what's the good news? You look so excited. Did you win over our school beauty?"
Chu Jiang's expression fell as soon as he heard Sun Qing's name.
"Can we please stop mentioning her? Can we stop dragging Sun Qing into everything?"
Xiao Zhebin looked puzzled, reached out and touched Chu Jiangyi's forehead, and muttered to himself.
"You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense? Everyone in the dorm knows how deeply you love Sun Qing. You've done so many stupid things to pursue her, I don't need to list them all."
Chu Jiang also retorted stubbornly, "Let's not talk about the past. We need to look forward. Everyone has been young and impetuous. Please forget all the stupid things you did in the past and don't mention them to me. I don't like to hear them."
"Also, don't mention Sun Qing in front of me. Starting today, I'm giving up on pursuing the school beauty and returning to normal."
Xiao Zhebin looked doubtful. No one knew better than him how much this kid valued Sun Qing.
"Really not going to pursue it anymore?"
