Xiao Ruoyan pondered for a moment before speaking, "Xiu, didn't you say you were going to give me a surprise?"
"I'll give you a surprise then too."
"Ruoyan, I feel like you're just making empty promises to me."
Xu Xiu looked at her with a suspicious expression.
"Xiu, absolutely no deception, young or old!"
"Fine, I'll trust you this once. I doubt you can pull any tricks."
After finishing his sentence, Xu Xiu made a threatening gesture.
Xiao Ruoyan didn't back down either, giving him a "fierce" look, but in Xu Xiu's eyes, it was definitely a seductive gaze.
After dinner, the two went to their respective departments for classes. Xu Xiu only had one class in the afternoon, after which he went to the school gate to buy some tableware and daily necessities.
Besides the four-piece bedding set, I was too lazy to choose a quilt, so I just bought a package online and got a good one for Xiao Ruoyan.
As for my own setup, I'll just buy whichever is cheapest...
After buying the items, I went to my apartment, 501, to start cleaning.
I really have no experience in cleaning, so I can only do it by myself, since I can't tell anyone for the sake of secrecy.
When it was time for dinner, Xiao Ruoyan sent him a message asking where he was.
Xu Xiu glanced at his phone, surprised that he had stayed up so late. He immediately dropped his tools and went to meet up with Xiao Ruoyan.
After meeting, Xiao Ruoyan looked him up and down.
"Xiu, what did you do this afternoon? Why are you covered in dust?"
"Uh, I went to help the counselor pack her things this afternoon."
After thinking about it, Xu Xiu could only bring up the counselor, since the school didn't need him to do cleaning.
"Oh, why didn't you invite me to come along?"
"Too dirty."
"I don't mind."
"I can't bear to part with it."
"But I want to be with you, no matter what we do."
"But there are some things I don't want you to do with me."
"Can we do all those things together?"
There are so many things we can do together.
For example?
"Like having a baby together? We absolutely have to do it together; I really can't manage alone..."
Upon hearing Xu Xiu's words, Xiao Ruoyan, who had just been calm and collected, immediately raised her fist to punch him.
Xu Xiu immediately turned and ran, with Xiao Ruoyan chasing after him. He deliberately kept a distance from her, neither too close nor too far.
Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi also arrived at the agreed location, watching Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan chasing each other around in circles.
After running for a while, Xu Xiu stopped abruptly, turned around, picked up Xiao Ruoyan from behind, and whispered, "What, Xiao Ruoyan, don't you want to have children with me in the future?"
"Xiu, let go of me! Everyone's watching!"
"No, you have to answer me first."
"Later...now...not now..."
"I didn't say now."
Only after Xu Xiu finished speaking did Xiao Ruoyan put down.
"You two are having a lot of fun."
Wang Mengqi's voice came from not far away.
"Wang Mengqi, this is what daily life is like for couples in love..."
"Xu Xiu, are you asking for a beating?"
"Mengqi, you need to change your temper, otherwise how will you find a boyfriend in the future?"
"Whether I find a boyfriend or not is none of your business."
"Oh, I was just about to introduce you to someone, but since you're not interested, never mind..."
After Xu Xiu finished speaking, he prepared to take Xiao Ruoyan to the cafeteria.
"Hey Lao Xu, wait a minute, are you going to introduce me to a boyfriend? Is he handsome? What's his personality like?"
Seeing Wang Mengqi's infatuated expression, Xu Xiu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Old Xu, don't laugh, I'm being serious."
Wang Mengqi said urgently.
Xu Xiu glanced at Ning Bufan beside him, his eyes darting around before he slowly spoke, "Mengqi, that's someone who's both far away and right in front of you, except for me..."
Upon hearing Xu Xiu's words, Wang Mengqi and Xiao Ruoyan subconsciously glanced at Ning Bufan.
Ning Bufan stood frozen in place.
"Pshaw, even if every man in the world died, I still wouldn't choose him."
"Mengqi, don't be so absolute. Xiaofan is a good person. I know him well and he's a good person. Although his family isn't as well-off as yours, he has me as his brother."
"Xu Xiu, are you serious?"
"It's true, absolutely true. Look at my sincere eyes."
Seeing the two of them going back and forth, Ning Bufan felt a little uneasy and wanted to run away, but the two of them stopped him at the same time.
"Xiao Fan, just give me a straight answer, do you like Wang Mengqi or not?"
Xu Xiu originally didn't want to be so direct, but the two of them were clearly in love, yet they were both pretending not to know.
Today he directly broke the ice between them; otherwise, if he were to live alone with Hanhan, who knows what kind of trouble Wang Mengqi would cause.
Let her start dating soon, so I don't have to keep an eye on them all the time.
Xu Xiu wasn't afraid of making things worse; with himself as the matchmaker, he was determined to make it work, even if it didn't work out.
Upon hearing this, Ning Bufan fell silent, and Wang Mengqi also remained silent, simply watching him quietly.
"Xiao Fan, whether you're a man or not, just say it whether you like it or not."
Xu Xiu was still fanning the flames from the sidelines.
The four of them stood there in the cold wind, and no one spoke.
Just as Xu Xiu was about to take Hanhan out to eat, Ning Bufan suddenly knelt down and asked, "Mengqi, will you be my girlfriend?"
Xu Xiu was dumbfounded. "Xiao Fan, why are you kneeling down when you're not proposing?"
Ning Bufan was so excited that he unconsciously knelt down, and he didn't know why.
Xiao Ruoyan glanced at Wang Mengqi and saw that she hadn't said anything for a long time. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Wang Mengqi say something.
"I don't want to!"
Upon hearing these four words, Ning Bufan seemed to have been mentally prepared. With a smile that was more like a grimace, he slowly stood up.
"It's okay, just take it as a joke."
Without waiting for a response, he walked towards the cafeteria, but he hadn't taken more than a few steps.
Then I heard a voice from behind.
"Ning Bufan, you're trying to get something for nothing, aren't you? You didn't even offer a bouquet of flowers. Wouldn't it be a loss for me to agree to this without any effort?"
Upon hearing Wang Mengqi's words, Ning Bufan's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned around.
"You didn't show enough sincerity this time and failed the test. I'll give you another chance. Come back when you're ready. Remember, you only have one last chance."
Wang Mengqi looked at Ning Bufan with a very serious expression.
Xu Xiu muttered under his breath, "And they said I was playing fancy tricks."
"Xu Xiu, what are you muttering about? Are you talking badly about me?"
"No, no, you've misunderstood."
Wang Mengqi ignored Xu Xiu and pulled Xiao Ruoyan towards the cafeteria.
Xu Xiu and Ning Bufan followed eagerly behind.
After dinner, Xu Xiu made an excuse to leave. Ning Bufan felt he couldn't get a word in edgewise with the two girls, so he went straight to the studio.
After everyone else had left, Xiao Ruoyan finally asked, "Mengqi, are you going to accept Xiaofan?"
"Yes, he's actually a pretty good guy."
"I also think Xiao Fanren is pretty good."
"That's right, he's much more reliable than Xu Xiu. You need to be careful, Xu Xiu is too cunning. You need to keep a close eye on him."
Xu Xiu, who had just arrived at the entrance of the 501 staff dormitory, suddenly sneezed and thought to himself, "Wang Mengqi must be talking bad about me behind my back."
"That heartless woman! I just introduced her to a boyfriend, ugh, this woman..."
