"Xiaobai, let's sit over there and eat."
"OK."
Ji Shushu and Bai Xiaoruo each carried a tray and walked towards an empty seat by the window in the cafeteria.
After putting down her plate, Ji Shushu started chatting casually with Bai Xiaoruo again.
Bai Xiaoruo became an instant celebrity at school on her first day back.
A luxury car was delivered to her door, and given her previous scandals with Xian Mingyu that made headlines, it was hard for people not to know about her.
As for the fact that she is divorced, nobody knows.
"Xiaobai, I'm so happy~ I never thought I could still go to school with you~ I thought you would spend the rest of your life at home as a pampered housewife taking care of your baby, and I would be all alone and pitiful at school."
"Is it really that big of a deal... I just came back to be with you." Bai Xiaoruo held Ji Shushu's hand, she was also very happy, it had been so long since she had been back to school, it felt a little unfamiliar.
"By the way, Xiaobai, what's going on between you and Xianmingyu? Why did you suddenly get divorced? And where did the baby go?"
Bai Xiaoruo paused, her chopsticks poking at the plate in front of her. She didn't really want to answer. "Shushu, don't ask anymore. Let's just pretend it's all in the past, okay?"
"Alright, alright, I won't bring up your painful memories. But you still need to tell me honestly, do you still like Xian Mingyu? Is there any chance for you two to remarry? Most importantly, does my brother still have a chance?"
Ji Shushu threw out several questions at once, and Bai Xiaoruo didn't know which one to answer first.
"Why are you so concerned about whether I still like him, and whether we'll remarry? Could it be...?"
"Oh, don't overthink it! I'm not that kind of person!" Ji Shushu said while eating her food. "I'm just worried about you. If there's still a way back for you and him, of course I want you to be happy. If you don't like him anymore, give my brother a chance too. He thinks about you day and night."
Bai Xiaoruo just smiled, shook her head, and ate the food on her plate. "No, there's no way things can go on between us. As for Brother Ziqian... Shushu, don't you really think something's strange?"
"Strange? What's strange about it?"
"I know Ziqian is good to me, and he's a very good and outstanding person..."
“That’s right, my parents really like you. Our whole family is looking forward to you becoming my sister-in-law soon.” Ji Shushu nodded. As for whether Bai Xiaoruo had been pregnant or divorced, what era are we living in? Who cares about that now? Although her parents don’t know yet, as long as her older brother likes her, they will definitely like her too.
"But the problem is... two people who are already very familiar with each other, having to be together... I feel very awkward. I really don't have any romantic feelings for Brother Ziqian."
"What's wrong with you? It's better to be together when you know each other well. Do you think my brother isn't as handsome as Xian Mingyu? Although I have that thought too... but! I still firmly support my brother!"
Bai Xiaoruo sighed and rubbed her forehead. Shushu was really addicted to being a matchmaker, always thinking about bringing her and Ziqian together.
"Let's not talk about me anymore, let's talk about you. Are you and Gu Yao together?" Bai Xiaoruo changed the subject.
Whenever Gu Yao was mentioned, Ji Shushu couldn't help but sigh and shake her head, "If only it were that easy."
"What? Doesn't he like you?"
"I think the person he likes should be Xian Mingyu!" Ji Shushu puffed out her cheeks and whispered to Bai Xiaoruo, "Are you sure they're really not just best buddies?"
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
"You have no idea, every time I go to find Gu Yao, nine out of ten times I'm stopped by Xian Mingyu."
"Um?"
Ji Shushu continued to complain: "One day I wanted to ask him out for lunch, but before he could even say yes, Xian Mingyu showed up, and then I happily followed him. I felt bad about being a third wheel, so I could only slink home by myself. And the day before yesterday, I asked him out to a movie, and I even specifically chose a horror movie with a strong theme. You know I'm not afraid of those kinds of movies, but you always have to pretend to be a little scared in front of guys."
"And you know what was most infuriating? He did show up, but he also brought Xian Mingyu along! And then I became a third wheel again, unable to say a word, while the two of them kept talking non-stop! After the movie ended, I still had to take a taxi home all by myself."
"What angered me the most was last night! I asked him out last night, and he had just stood in front of me when a phone call from Xian Mingyu called him away again."
last night?
Bai Xiaoruo thought for a moment, "Is Xuan Mingyu with Gu Yao?"
Xuan Mingyu came to her house looking for himself, but he didn't see Gu Yao.
"Xiaobai, I'm so pathetic! I give up! I don't want that guy anymore!" Ji Shushu pouted, still angry just thinking about it.
Bai Xiaoruo was both amused and exasperated. Although Gu Yao's actions were indeed a bit excessive, his relationship with Xian Mingyu was definitely better than his relationship with Ji Shushu.
"Don't be sad. After all, he is Xuan Mingyu's assistant. It's normal for the two of them to be inseparable all day long."
Ji Shushu poked at her chopsticks, looking sullen. "I wish he could be my assistant. I'd like to keep him by my side every day."
"Do you think you're raising a dog? Why don't you give him some money to support him? He'll definitely follow you around every day."
