Chapter 217 Let's be buddies from now on
"What does it matter? They're all from the countryside. Who would want someone from the countryside if there were someone better?" Peng Li said this with great confidence. For example, among his past girlfriends, some liked other people, but when he pursued them, he succeeded every time. Many abandoned their original crushes and ran into his arms.
Peng Li was well aware of the reasons, and he never felt that there was anything wrong with such methods.
People naturally gravitate towards those with power and influence, so it's not unreasonable to choose him if he has some advantages.
As his friend, Cheng Zhen also had a great advantage. Peng Li felt that as long as Cheng Zhen made a move, there was no way he would leave empty-handed.
"I'll think about it."
"You still want to? If you don't make a move now, you might not have another chance!"
"Do you know something?" Otherwise, Peng Li wouldn't have said that.
"Well, I do know a little bit about this. You know Qiu Zhengyu, right?"
"Him?" Cheng Zhen asked, puzzled.
"Yes, he said he wanted to pursue Lin Xiaotao. Although he said it in private, I think it's very likely true."
Cheng Zhen didn't say anything.
"What are you thinking? Aren't you afraid that Qiu Zhengyu will beat you to it? You know, his sister has been chasing you for so many years. If you're too late and Qiu Zhengyu gets there first, then it'll be Qiu Zhengyu getting revenge for his sister."
Cheng Zhen rolled his eyes: "That was so many years ago."
Peng Li raised an eyebrow: "Although, they don't think you're a good person."
Cheng Zhen was somewhat dissatisfied: "You just said that Lin Xiaotao and I are not a good match, but why didn't you mention Qiu Zhengyu? They are a good match?"
"How can he compare to you? You're my good friend, Peng Li!"
"Oh."
"You'd better believe me, so you'd better hurry up and take action."
"knew."
"Then you'd better hurry."
"Um."
"That kid Qiu Zhengyu has been targeting you. If he knew you also liked Lin Xiaotao, he would probably speed up his actions even before he does anything. This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, getting both the beauty and winning you over."
"Peng Li, Peng Li..."
"My god, how did Wu Guifang find this place? Brother, I'm leaving now, see you later." Peng Ligang was still smug and lazy, but as soon as he heard someone calling him, and it was that familiar crazy female voice, he didn't even turn his head and ran away as fast as he could.
"Peng Li!" Wu Guifang chased after him immediately.
Cheng Zhen glanced at the two people who had run away, then turned and left.
He hadn't felt any urgency before, and he seemed nonchalant, but only he knew that his heart skipped a beat when Qiu Zhengyu was about to take action.
I couldn't help but gently cover my chest; this was the first time in my life I'd ever done this, and it was quite amusing.
However, Cheng Zhen will never lose! No matter who his opponent is!
As for Qiu Zhengyu, who was being discussed by Cheng Zhen and Peng Li, he was glaring bitterly at the male classmate in front of him: "Hey classmate, you can't be serious, can you? I just said in private that I wanted to pursue that Lin Xiaotao, but I didn't actually do anything about it, and I didn't even confess. Why are you blocking me here and not letting me leave?"
"If it's blocked, it's blocked, stop talking nonsense!" Li Zhen frowned, and Song Yi glared at him as well: "You think you can just chase after Lin Xiaotao like that? And you're talking about it behind her back, acting like you can get her. Who do you think you are, so confident?" He'd been by Xiaotao's side for so many years and still hadn't won her over, so why did this stranger Qiu Zhengyu have the nerve! Because he's from the capital? Or because his family is powerful, influential, and rich?
Hey, TUI, acting like you're broke.
Lin Xiaoguang stood beside him with a rope, looking ready to tie someone up at the slightest provocation.
In any case, the behavior of all three people suggests that this matter will not be resolved easily.
Qiu Zhengyu truly didn't expect his words to have such consequences. He did have feelings for Lin Xiaotao and had even said he wanted to pursue her, but he was too busy to actually take action. He didn't know which loose tongue overheard his words and spread them, leaving him with a face full of grievances and unable to explain himself.
so……
"I'm not chasing her anymore, okay? From now on, if Lin Xiaotao goes left, I'll go right; if she goes in front, I'll go behind. We'll definitely never run into each other. Do you guys think this is alright?"
Li Zhen, Song Yi, and Lin Xiaoguang all looked disgusted.
"What's with those faces?" He wasn't even planning to settle accounts with them, and they were already looking down on him?
Do you know who he is?
"Heh, our Little Peach Blossom, no, Lin Xiaotao, is someone you can just chase after whenever you want, or not chase after whenever you don't want to? What gives you the right!" Li Zhen's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Big brother, if I'm not going to chase you anymore, what are you going to do? Well, I'm saying I'll chase you then."
"Ha, who do you think you are? You're not worthy at all."
Qiu Zhengyu: ...
It's a dilemma: to pursue or not to pursue.
So, whoever delivered the message, if he finds out, he'll definitely seek revenge!
But that's all for the future. For now: "Hey buddy, how about we become buddies? I really admire you guys. I heard you and Lin Xiaotao are from the same production team. That's impressive."
"They're well-informed; they know who we are."
"Of course I know, after all, Lin Xiaotao is the most beautiful female top scholar."
"Um?"
"Ahem, I misspoke. A smart and beautiful female student like Lin Xiaotao naturally attracts attention, especially since you're from the same place. You two have such a good relationship; I'm really envious. How about we become buddies? If anyone in the capital dares to bully Lin Xiaotao, count me in! I'll get revenge for her. What do you guys think?"
Being able to bend and stretch, Qiu Zhengyu felt he had done a good job.
As for whether he can get revenge for this incident, if the other party agrees to let him join their group, he will forgive and forget. If the other party doesn't agree, well, there's nothing Qiu Zhengyu can do about it. After all, he was partly responsible for Lin Xiaotao's incident. Consider it the consequence of his slip of the tongue. He should remember this in the future and keep his words to himself. This is a small matter, but he shouldn't let it turn into a big disaster in the future.
"Are you really not going to pursue Lin Xiaotao anymore?" Li Zhen asked.
"From now on, we'll be buddies. Lin Xiaotao will have another older brother to spoil her!" Qiu Zhengyu was very good at reading people's expressions, so he naturally made a boast.
"Li Zhen!" Song Yi said, displeased.
"Alright, I'll agree to this for now, but it depends on how you do it. If you do it later..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the threat was palpable.
"Don't worry, we'll all be brothers from now on. Your business is my business." Qiu Zhengyu didn't feel like he was losing out by making friends with them. They were all from Peking University, and their future prospects were all pretty good. The people in front of him were even more outstanding.
Given the choice between a potential romantic interest and a relationship with a clearly visible future, it's obvious which to choose, especially since he's a qualified politician raised by his family.
"I hope you keep your word. Otherwise, even if you have some connections, we won't be afraid of you anymore." Li Zhen stared at him meaningfully. Qiu Zhengyu felt uneasy under that gaze and even regretted coming with them.
But words spoken are like water spilled; even if there's a cliff in front of you, you have to jump. Unless things really turn sour now that you never speak to each other again, which is impossible given the current situation.
"Hehe, I, Qiu Zhengyu, always keep my word."
"That's good."
