Chapter 9: Draw a clear line with the scumbag
He Xiaolan couldn't help but ask Xia Keqing: "Keqing, I'm so curious that I can't help but ask you. If I offend you, please don't be angry."
Xia Keqing blinked, knowing what she wanted to ask. She also wanted to take the opportunity to draw a clear line between herself and the scumbag, so she was very tolerant of her curiosity.
"Well, don't be angry, just ask."
He Xiaolan smiled awkwardly and took a deep breath. "That is... you and Chen Zhou are really not dating? Why haven't I heard that you have a partner before?"
"And a soldier that tall and serious? He looks so scary!"
In contrast, although Zhao Juan was silent, there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Xia Keqing held her forehead slightly.
really.
She was able to fool Shen Jichuan with those words, on the one hand because she was not the original owner, and she had no other feelings for Chen Zhou.
Even because she had read the original text and possessed all the memories of the original owner, she hated the scumbag deeply.
So she didn't feel guilty at all.
On the other hand, Shen Jichuan was really easy to fool since he was far away.
He had never seen with his own eyes how the original owner and Chen Zhou got along.
Of course, from the perspective of later generations, the way the original owner and Chen the scumbag got along was just the level of ordinary friends.
We go to get out of class together, walk around the campus together after class, eat together, study and do homework together, and we meet many times.
Most men and women of this era are conservative. Even if they are seriously dating, they will just hold hands at most and rarely hug each other. Most of the time, they will not do anything inappropriate for children before marriage.
But it is also because of conservatism that in this era, a young man and woman who are together all the time, no matter what, even if there is no intimate behavior, their relationship is enough to make people speculate.
The original owner’s roommates were different from Shen Jichuan.
They are both professionals and spend every day together. It can be seen that the original owner has a close relationship with Chen Zhou.
Xia Keqing took a deep breath and said, "My marriage to my fiancé was arranged by our family elders."
"We had never met before today."
He Xiaolan looked surprised, "Huh?"
"Keqing, why are your parents so dogmatic?"
Xia Keqing looked calm, "Isn't that what the older generation did? It's my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. I can't resist."
"Besides, my family is not well off. When I was admitted to university, my parents could not afford to send me to school, so they wanted a relative to take me to work in a factory."
In that era, including in later generations, the only way out for rural children was to go to school or be taken to work in factories by relatives or people from the same village.
Parents can feel more at ease if there is someone to take care of their children.
When He Xiaolan heard this, her face immediately showed sympathy.
“I really can’t tell.”
He Xiaolan sighed. Although the original owner was usually very frugal, she was not short of money after all, as she received the living expenses from Shen Jichuan every month.
People’s state is different depending on whether they are short of money or not.
Xia Keqing said embarrassedly: "I am unwilling to accept this. It was not easy for me to get into university."
He Xiaolan and Zhao Juan looked serious.
The college entrance examination questions in this era were indeed not difficult, but relatively speaking, they were much more difficult than those in later generations. It is no exaggeration to say that it was like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.
Passing the exam can really change your life.
As both of them had gone through untold hardships to get into college, the two roommates could empathize with each other very well.
"It's not easy for us to get into university. It would be a shame to give up."
He Xiaolan couldn't help but say.
Zhao Juan also nodded.
However, the two soon realized one thing: how did Xia Keqing go to school later?
They both looked at Xia Keqing at the same time.
The latter looked gentle, as if she was thinking of something embarrassing, her cheeks slightly reddened, and she said with a smile: "As for me, I don't believe in fate. I wrote a letter to my fiancé and told him that I want to go to college."
The two roommates looked at each other with a look of surprise.
He Xiaolan's eyes widened, "Did he support you to go to college?"
Xia Keqing nodded shyly.
The two roommates looked at each other.
He Xiaolan said playfully, "In that case, your big fiancé is still your benefactor?"
Xia Keqing nodded, "It's not an exaggeration to say that they are living parents."
"So my fiancé is so kind to me, how could I possibly betray him?"
"Chen Zhou and I are really just ordinary classmates."
"If I have to say, we have some common interests."
Xia Keqing pondered for a moment, "After all, he is a classmate. He comes to see me every day, so I can't refuse him."
When she said that, He Xiaolan frowned, "It's really annoying."
Zhao Juan also said: "In fact, we have been wanting to say this for a long time. Chen Zhou is not devoted to you. In addition to looking for you, he also looks for Xu Li and others."
He Xiaolan immediately said, "Yes, I saw him and Xu Li behaving very intimately this afternoon."
Xia Keqing lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "You said Xu Li, they are a couple."
"I went out to dinner with my boyfriend today and ran into them."
He Xiaolan and Zhao Juan looked at each other and said, "Bah! Asshole, he's already in a relationship but he's still harassing you every day. Isn't this ruining your reputation?"
Zhao Juan was also filled with righteous indignation. "Isn't it? Then we have to help you talk it out. It would be bad if someone misunderstood us."
Xia Keqing nodded, "Well, thank you, I will also take the initiative to clarify."
"But I'll tell you the truth. Although my fiancé has done me a great favor, he lives far away, and Chen Zhou comes to see me every day. We have the same hobbies, so I was actually quite conflicted for a while."
He Xiaolan interrupted Xia Keqing, "We understand, we all understand. We are still young, unlike Sister Fen, who has a family and children. Who doesn't have the budding of youth? It's a pity that Chen Zhou, that bastard, is not worthy!"
"You and your partner's marriage was arranged by your parents. You have no feelings for each other and you live far away from each other. It's understandable that you might have different feelings for someone else for a short period of time."
"But isn't Chen Zhou Xu Li's boyfriend? He dates you every day behind Xu Li's back. Xu Li is so useless that she can't even take good care of her own boyfriend."
"You son of a bitch! You're a flirtatious bitch!"
Xia Keqing looked at He Xiaolan, wishing she could give this girl thirty-two likes!
You are the only one who can speak, you are the only one who has a mouth, please say more, I love to listen!
The next morning, Li Fen came back. As soon as she came back, she smiled and teased Xia Keqing, "Keqing, your Chen Zhou is waiting for you downstairs."
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly discovered that the atmosphere in the dormitory was not right.
"What's wrong?"
He Xiaolan immediately said, "Sister Fen, don't say that anymore. Chen Zhou and Xu Li are dating!"
Li Fen was completely stunned.
Who doesn’t know that Chen Zhou comes to see Xia Keqing every day?
Everyone thought they were dating.
"No, when did he and Xu Li start?"
He Xiaolan was quick-witted and told Li Fen everything Xia Keqing had said yesterday, and after that she did not forget to complain about Chen Zhou.
"This bastard was clearly dating Xu Li, but he made our Keqing misunderstand and almost had inappropriate thoughts about him. Fortunately, Keqing's boyfriend came and she woke up in time."
"What is he doing here now?"
Li Fen already has a man and children, so she can't stand this kind of fickleness.
He got furious when he heard it.
"How could such a thing happen? Have you told the counselor? Chen Zhou's work style is not right. College students today should be responsible. He is destroying the reputation of our college students."
Zhao Juan gave Li Fen a thumbs up.
"Sister Fen is still more aware!"
