At noon, Wang Tianheng and I randomly picked a Lanzhou noodle shop on the roadside and ate two bowls of noodles. Neither of us are fussy people.
Xiao Ruoyan has a painting class in the afternoon; painting is a required basic course for design majors.
As she listened to the teacher's explanation, Xu Xiu's face appeared deep in her mind. It had always been blurry before, but now it was becoming clearer and clearer.
Where the heart leads is the haven of the soul. She slowly closed her eyes and imagined everything that had happened in the past six months.
Then pick up your pen and start creating. Today's lesson is to draw the person or thing you miss the most.
When Xu Xiu returned to school and arrived in his class, he found that all his classmates were staring at him like they were infatuated with a girl.
Just as he was wondering, Wen Zhicai came over and showed him the contents of his phone.
It turns out that the video of the last interview had been posted on the school's homepage and simultaneously shared on the school's official social media accounts.
Every year, many outstanding students are interviewed, but few are as witty and engaging as Xu Xiu.
Then someone revealed that Xu Xiu was the owner of Ruoxiu Fanmeng, and Xu Xiu was immediately labeled with multiple tags such as handsome, rich, and academic genius.
This brought his popularity on Renren.com to a new level.
Xu Xiu finished his class and was on his way to his studio when he noticed that people kept staring at him on the street. Being too famous can be a real nuisance.
Liu Qianxue was sitting on a chair not far away, staring blankly at a video on her phone, a barely perceptible smile on her lips.
I put down my phone and looked at the gray sky, muttering to myself that I needed to work harder.
Perhaps one day, when I stand before him in a completely new light, there might still be a sliver of a chance.
Just as she turned to go to class, a senior suddenly appeared in front of her. "Junior, I have admired you for a long time. Can you give me the chance to date you?"
Liu Qianxue didn't even glance at him, but coldly replied, "You have no chance."
After saying that, she left directly. Her aura of "keep away" made the senior student not even have the courage to chase after her.
Xu Xiu happened to witness this scene and shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "This guy is really stubborn. Do you think it's so easy to win over a young lady like her?"
"If it were that easy to win me over, where would I put my old face?"
Xu Xiu is now able to casually bring up his past life's deeds and make fun of them.
After watching the play, Xu Xiu planned to slip away. It was not a good place to stay for long. Although his simpleton wouldn't be jealous for no reason, he still wanted to be careful.
Before he had taken two steps, he heard someone call out to him from behind, "Xu Xiu, I need to talk to you."
Hearing this, he thought irritably, "I'll let you watch the show!"
He turned around reluctantly and saw Liu Qianxue standing in front of him, smiling at him.
"What's wrong, Qianxue?"
"Where is Ruoyan?"
"She's in class!"
“My dad said he’ll treat your whole family to a meal when school is out for break, because it’s been a long time since we’ve all gotten together.”
"A dinner invitation out of the blue? It feels like they have ulterior motives; there must be something going on."
Just as Xu Xiu was pondering this in his heart.
Liu Qianxue stepped forward, feigning a wronged expression, and said, "Xu Xiu, if we can't be lovers, can't we even be friends?"
"We grew up together, you can't be so heartless, can you?"
The senior student, watching this scene from a distance, finally understood where he had gone wrong, and his departing figure was filled with loneliness.
Liu Qianxue only spoke so much in front of Xu Xiu; her aloof demeanor vanished instantly, and she transformed into a pure and adorable college student.
"Qianxue, look at what you're saying. From now on, we're buddies. If anyone bullies you, just tell me."
"Your dad can tell my parents about the meal. I'll just follow along and happily mooch off them."
Liu Qianxue rolled her eyes at him.
"Xu Xiu, if you had been as shameless as you are now, I might already be your girlfriend."
"The character 'woman' in 'Qianxue' needs an extra 'zi' radical."
"......"
"Hehe, okay, I'm going to the studio now, talk to you later."
After Xu Xiu finished speaking, he walked towards the studio.
Watching Xu Xiu's retreating figure, Liu Qianxue gradually suppressed her smile and reverted to her icy beauty persona. A slight sadness welled up inside her, because the more natural Xu Xiu appeared, the more genuine her feelings became.
This shows that he has truly trusted you to be his friend, perhaps even a better relationship than just good friends, but definitely not a romantic one.
But then I thought, good friends are good friends, and that means I can do some things without restraint.
Thinking of this, Liu Qianxue's expression was a half-smile, which looked rather frightening.
Xu Xiu came to see the classmates who were working part-time at the studio, and they took turns working there because everyone's class schedules were different.
Although it was a part-time job, Xu Xiu paid a very high salary, which was higher than the salary they earned for working more than ten hours a day during summer vacation.
Seeing Xu Xiu come over and several students who were working part-time come forward to greet him, he glanced at everyone and said, "Although it's quite busy here, you can't neglect your studies."
"Don't worry, Brother Xu, we know what we're doing."
Several students responded while packaging the items.
Xu Xiu arrived at the data room, where a huge display screen showed the number of likes, views, and follower growth across various platforms.
Furthermore, they monitored some comments and messages in real time, and Bai Yushu called several people from the technical department to help Ning Bufan set it up and debug it.
Although Xiao Fan has technical skills, he is still a freshman and doesn't consider things comprehensively enough; he's still too inexperienced.
The recent growth in followers has been somewhat slow, which is related to the fact that they've been slacking off, plus they haven't had time to work on many videos and scripts due to final exams.
The last video was posted half a month ago. Fortunately, Xiao Ruoyan and Wang Mengqi have been working on the outfits.
Xu Xiu stayed in the data room for a while before leaving the studio to attend his last class of the afternoon.
After class, Xiao Ruoyan brought her artwork from today to give to Xu Xiu. She had drawn a portrait, but it looked a bit like anime...
So she didn't take it out; she planned to draw a new one.
The two agreed to go out for spicy hot pot together that evening. When they arrived at the school gate, Xu Xiu noticed that Xiao Ruoyan was wearing the same down jacket that he had bought at the mall last time.
The couple planned to wear that matching outfit as their New Year's clothes during the Chinese New Year.
Xiao Ruoyan held Xu Xiu's hand, and the two cuddled together, as if afraid others wouldn't know they were a couple.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Xu Xiu ordered all non-spicy dishes, while Xiao Ruoyan ordered all spicy ones.
"Ruoyan, there's something I need to tell you."
As soon as the two found a seat and sat down, Xu Xiu spoke.
"What's up?"
"Qianxue said his parents are inviting our family to dinner. Would you like to come along?"
"Oh, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Xiao Ruoyan instinctively wanted to refuse.
She wasn't mentally prepared; this was essentially meeting the parents, and it felt a bit too early.
"How about this, if you're free, come with me. If you're not, that's fine, since the exact time hasn't been set yet."
"I'm letting you know about this beforehand, my wife."
"Who's your wife?"
"It's so far away, yet so close at hand."
"rogue!"
Do you like me, this rogue?
"like......"
Xiao Ruoyan gave up immediately; she had never won an argument.
