Xi Chuan took a deep breath, then spoke solemnly, "Actually, I know that my pursuit has caused you trouble.
But Qingyu, emotions are not something that can be controlled by humans.
So I always want to try, even if there is a slight chance, now..."
He smiled bitterly, "Now I understand that many things won't work just because I try."
"I invited you this time just to say goodbye, just like... a farewell dinner.
Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore after this time."
He looked so lonely that not only his schoolmate who liked him, but even the people watching him felt a little distressed.
Everyone looked at Tu Qingyu, hoping she would agree.
While Tu Qingyu was thinking, Xi Chuan spoke again, "Qingyu, just... for the last time."
"After this time, I will say goodbye to the past you and myself completely, live a good life from now on, and never bother you again, okay? Qingyu..."
Seeing this affectionate look, a male classmate from the same department as him murmured.
"Fuck, this is pure love."
The person next to him added, "That's right. I don't know what Tu Qingyu's heart is made of. Why can't I keep it warm?"
Facing so many gazes, Tu Qingyu finally nodded slightly, "Okay, I will go that day."
Unfortunately, he did not set the address at the graduate dormitory that day.
But in a hotel outside.
Classmate: "Wow, President Xi is so generous! He's going to treat us to a big dinner."
Xi Chuan: "I just thought, this is the last time, let's have a good meal."
Classmate: "Then we won't be polite. President Xi, please don't feel bad when the time comes."
Xi Chuan smiled brightly, "I don't feel bad, just eat as much as you can."
In fact, my heart is bleeding.
The food here is not cheap, and he also booked a room. He doesn’t know when he can pay back the money he borrowed this time.
It would be best if we could take down Tu Qingyu in one go.
Even if she couldn't agree to date him afterwards, she had to take some photos. Otherwise, how would he repay his huge debt?
The other students were laughing and joking, saying that they were eating at a rich man's house.
In fact, everyone knows that Xi and Chuan’s family conditions are not good.
Before, he could barely use the money from his part-time job to treat people to meals in the dormitory, but under normal circumstances, he definitely could not afford to stay in this hotel today.
But no one suggested saving money for him, after all, it would be a waste if he didn't eat it.
They are all from ordinary families. They have the opportunity to go abroad because they are good at studying and have an exchange program funded by the school.
After going abroad, everyone was in financial difficulty.
There aren't many opportunities to dine in a hotel like this.
So when ordering food, no one saved money for him except the junior high school girl who liked Xi Chuan.
After the dishes were served, they started drinking. As they were toasting each other, everyone started talking about Xi Chuan and Tu Qingyu again.
A classmate who was a little drunk spoke up, "Hey, classmate Tu, I don't quite understand why you don't like Senior Xi? He's obviously a very nice person and he's not bad looking."
"Yeah, if I were a girl, and the senior pursued me like this, I would have agreed long ago."
Tu Qingyu put down the chopsticks in his hand and wiped his mouth slowly with a tissue. "There's no reason. Just like I don't understand why classmate Xi likes me, I don't understand why I just don't like the person you all say is so good."
She paused after saying this and said, "Of course, I don't need to understand. If I don't like it, I don't like it."
Everyone sighed when they heard her answer.
What she said is actually not wrong. Just as Xi Chuan said, human emotions are the most uncontrollable.
But seeing how hard Xi Chuan has worked for so long, they couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"You're right." Xi Chuan agreed with her. He stood up with his glass in hand and said, "I've been so self-indulgent for so long that it's caused you trouble. I'll drink this glass first."
After he finished drinking, he went to pour wine for Tu Qingyu.
He practiced that move countless times at home, but it still couldn't escape Tu Qingyu's eyes.
He was very steady, and his technique was indeed very skillful. If someone else had done it, they might not have noticed it.
After pouring the wine, he picked up the cup and held it in front of Tu Qingyu, "Qingyu, let me toast you with another cup. This cup of wine is my farewell to you. From now on, I will withdraw from your life and never disturb you again."
Tu Qingyu lowered his eyes and hesitated to take the glass of wine.
Her pause made Xi Chuan nervous, thinking that he had been discovered.
Everyone present stopped what they were doing to see if Tu Qingyu would take the glass of wine.
Fortunately, Tu Qingyu took the wine glass after analyzing the pros and cons.
After taking it, she said calmly, "You have never participated in my life. There is no such thing as quitting or not quitting. From now on, just live your own life."
Xi Chuan's face looked visibly ugly, and everyone present felt very embarrassed.
In order to ease the awkwardness, someone picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink, drink..."
Xi Chuan also held up his own wine glass, touched it with Tu Qingyu's glass, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that everyone had drunk it, Tu Qingyu naturally raised his head and drank it too.
Seeing her drink the wine, Xi Chuan finally felt relieved.
After drinking a glass of wine, Tu Qingyu's cheeks turned slightly red.
She stopped eating and just supported her head with her hands, staring blankly at the scene of clinking glasses in front of her.
The wine makes the skin dizzy.
Xi Chuan's eyes were always on Tu Qingyu. Her rosy cheeks and delicate facial features, there was no part of her that didn't fascinate him.
He even felt his throat tighten.
When others saw him looking at Tu Qingyu like that, they all thought that he loved her very much. Even though he said those goodbye words, his eyes were still drawn.
But Tu Qingyu only felt nauseous. She looked at the red dot gradually approaching her in her mind, and estimated the time it would take for Ye Xingyuan to find her.
Five minutes later, Xi Chuan stood up and said, "I have something I want to say to Qing Yu alone. I wonder if you guys..."
"Ah~ Got it, got it. We'll disappear right away."
"Let's go, let's not be a light bulb here."
Everyone picked up their things and stood up. Tu Qingyu had some confusion in her eyes. Seeing others stand up, she stood up too.
Xi Chuan held her back and said, "Qing Yu, can you wait a moment?"
Tu Qingyu lowered his eyes and looked at his hand, "Let go."
"I have something I want to talk to you alone." He didn't let go and continued talking to himself.
Just then, the door of the box was opened.
"If you have anything to say, tell me!"
Ye Xingyuan, wearing a black coat and with a sullen face, strode in.
As soon as he came in, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at this man with a powerful aura.
