Cheng Juan stood up as if he didn't notice and poured a glass of boiled water for Shen Bailu. He said gently and affectionately: "Lulu, I know you don't love me. You fell in love with Xie Jining. I don't blame you. Xie Jining is a very good man. If I were a woman, I would fall in love with him too."
Shen Bailu looked at Cheng Juan like this, feeling familiar yet strange.
She really wanted to ask, Cheng Juan, do you know what happened between my mom and your dad?
But she couldn't speak!
It wasn’t a particularly glorious experience after all!
What if Cheng Juan was like her, completely unaware of the situation because he was very young at the time?
She should just bear this kind of trouble alone. Why should Cheng Juan be sad too?
Cheng Juan held Shen Bailu's hand and said seriously and solemnly: "Lulu, even if I can't be your lover, I am still your brother. Have you forgotten? From childhood to adulthood, I have always been by your side to protect you. I, Cheng Juan, will always be Princess Lulu's knight."
Shen Bailu sighed: “Cheng Juan!”
"Why Cheng Juan? You used to call me Brother Juan, have you forgotten?"
Cheng Juan smiled brightly, without a trace of gloom on his face.
Shen Bailu forced a smile, and Cheng Juan said, "I heard there's a cultural performance at Imperial Capital University tonight. Do you want to go and see it?"
When Cheng Juan mentioned Imperial Capital University, Shen Bailu thought of Xie Xuning's cold and unkind appearance.
"I don't want to go."
Cheng Jun said, "I want to go to Imperial Capital University, Lulu. You know, I wanted to apply for Imperial Capital University when I took the college entrance examination. Later, because my grandparents were sick and couldn't leave them alone, I chose a local university so that I could be closer to home and take care of them..."
Shen Bailu thought that she would draw a clear line between herself and Cheng Juan from today onwards, and her heart softened instantly, saying, "Then let's go!"
"Wear something thicker!"
"good."
Cheng Juan and Shen Bailu went to Imperial Capital University together.
The days are short in winter and it gets dark early.
Today, the auditorium of Imperial Capital University is packed with people.
As a relative of Xie Xuning, Ye Linlang had the privilege of sitting in the position with the best view.
In this era, there was no sense of safety. Not only were the chairs crowded with people, but the aisles and corridors were also full of people.
On the stage, the students’ carefully prepared programs were performed one after another.
There are solo singing, chorus singing, group dancing, crosstalk, sketches and poetry recitation.
Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning were sitting together in a squeeze. To be more precise, everyone was sitting together in a squeeze.
"Linlang, why do you look so absent-minded?" Xie Xuning asked softly, leaning close to Ye Linlang's ear.
As a doctor, Ye Linlang has a strong occupational disease.
"There are so many people here. If something happens, the consequences will be disastrous."
When Xie Xuning heard Ye Linlang's words, he couldn't help but pinch Ye Linlang's face.
"Just focus on enjoying the show. There will be fireworks later!"
Ye Linlang's heart suddenly began to beat like a drum.
"No, I'm telling the truth. There are too many people here. If a stampede happens, the consequences will be disastrous!"
When Ye Linlang said this, she turned her head and looked around at the classmates who were all watching the show attentively.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on Cheng Juan's face at the back of the auditorium.
In the darkness, Cheng Juan also saw Ye Linlang's delicate face reflected in the light and shadow. Suddenly, he gave Ye Linlang a malicious smile.
