Chapter 61
He He got off the bus and went straight to Rongda.
When she got to Chen Jingbai's dormitory building, she asked the dormitory supervisor to call Chen Jingbai down.
As night fell, He He stood waiting downstairs in the dormitory building.
After a while, a boy came downstairs with the dormitory supervisor, but it wasn't Chen Jingbai; it was his roommate.
The boy was also the boyfriend of her roommate, Fang Ya'er.
Because of this connection, Chen Jingbai's roommate was quite enthusiastic when he saw her, with a smile on his face. "Sister He, Brother Jingbai went to have dinner with some classmates. It's at Xiaocui Restaurant outside Rongda. Are you in a hurry to find him? Do you need me to take you there?"
He He shook her head and refused, "There's no need for you to make the trip. I know where Xiao Cui's restaurant is. I can go there myself."
The boy casually scratched the back of his head, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Okay, Sister He, could you please put in a good word for me with Ya'er in the dorm? I've been having a falling out with her lately."
He He agreed: "Okay, I'll remember that. I'll put in a good word for you with her."
The boy stood there with a big smile, "Thank you for your help, Sister He. Take care on the road."
"Okay, I'll go now. You can go upstairs." He He turned and left, her steps quick.
She went to the girls' dormitory to look for Chen Jingyi, but the answer she got was that Chen Jingyi wasn't there.
He He had no choice but to go find Chen Jingbai first.
When she arrived at Xiaocui Restaurant, it was bustling with people, all there for dinner, mostly college students.
He He looked inside and saw Chen Jingbai's classmates, both boys and girls, chatting and laughing.
Chen Jingbai was sitting diagonally with his back to the outside, and a girl was sitting on his lap. Her profile looked somewhat familiar.
The girl seemed to sense something was amiss and glanced outside.
Zhao Xiaohui noticed He He first, then raised her eyelids and pretended not to see He He.
As the end of the semester approached, the class committee decided to treat the teachers to a meal, and they chose this place. She was the class's academic representative, so she naturally came as well, and even made a point of sitting next to Chen Jingbai.
Although Chen Jingbai was unwilling, the teacher was present and there was no extra seat for him to change to, so he had no choice but to sit next to her.
When Zhao Xiaohui saw He He coming over, she felt a little smug. She kept a low profile and, while picking up some food, quietly knocked over the soup bowl next to her arm.
The soup bowl tilted towards Chen Jingbai, and as expected, the soup spilled onto Chen Jingbai's arm.
In winter, he was wearing thick clothes, and the soup soaked Chen Jingbai's clothes.
Zhao Xiaohui used the same trick again, quickly pretending to be nice to Chen Jingbai. She grabbed Chen Jingbai's well-defined hand with one hand and wiped it on his clothes on his arm with the other. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Before Chen Jingbai could react, Zhao Xiaohui grabbed his hand.
As He He approached, she saw Zhao Xiaohui holding Chen Jingbai's hand.
Chen Jingbai swung very fast, but she still saw it.
He He suddenly felt very tired. Every time this girl deliberately moved closer to Chen Jingbai, she always managed to see her.
She's witnessed it so many times that she doesn't know if there are even more of these things happening where she hasn't been watching.
I talked to Chen Jingbai about this before. The girl next to him is interested in him. Chen Jingbai still doesn't know how to avoid suspicion. There's such a big table, yet he insists on sitting with this girl.
Some classmates noticed the little incident between Chen Jingbai and Zhao Xiaohui and looked over here. When they looked up, they saw He He standing behind Chen Jingbai.
Some of these classmates recognized her and immediately called out to Chen Jingbai, "Jingbai, your girlfriend is here."
Chen Jingbai had already shaken off Zhao Xiaohui's hand and stood up. Hearing a classmate say that He He had arrived, he turned around with some surprise.
But when he saw He He's suspicious and disappointed eyes, a look of panic flashed in his eyes. "Hehe, why are you here?"
Zhao Xiaohui, who was standing next to him, glanced at He He with a look of provocation and disdain in her eyes.
He He saw that look in his eyes again, but she was incredibly calm this time. She turned her gaze back to Chen Jingbai's face and said, "Go out, I have something to tell you."
She walked ahead, and Chen Jingbai moved his stool aside and followed, completely ignoring the soup stains on his arms and clothes that he hadn't wiped off.
He He found a secluded corner where it was quieter than Xiao Cui's restaurant.
The two stood facing each other, and He He stared at Chen Jingbai for a while.
Thinking about how he hardly had time to spend with her after he went to university, how she was almost always the one who went to see him, and how all sorts of girls appeared around him, especially the girl who had been closest to Chen Jingbai time and time again.
She had somewhat forgotten why she had initially gotten together with Chen Jingbai, but now she remembered.
At the time, she wanted to get into university and live a good life, and now she has achieved everything she wanted.
After she got together with Chen Jingbai, she wanted to be with him forever, to be together all the time, and ideally to see him every day.
But now, it's becoming increasingly difficult to achieve this goal. Chen Jingbai is very busy, and they simply don't have time to meet.
Moreover, there was always that girl looking at her provocatively by his side, and He He didn't like that feeling at all.
"Let's break up." He He's tone was devoid of any emotion.
Chen Jingbai suddenly froze, his mind went blank, and he asked incredulously, "What did you say?"
He He repeated herself: "I said, let's break up."
Chen Jingbai's lips trembled slightly. "Why?"
He He looked at him calmly, but her eyes were red: "Why? You should ask yourself why. I've already told you that girl is interested in you, so why are you still so close to her?"
Chen Jingbai explained anxiously, "Today was an accident. I was late for a gathering with my teacher, and the only seat available was the one next to her. With the teacher present, I couldn't switch with anyone else. I promise I will stay further away from her next time, and I will never let her get within three feet of me again."
"There won't be a next time. Go back and have your dinner. You don't need to stay far away from that girl anymore. You can be as close to her as you want." After saying that, He He turned and left.
She didn't want to stay a moment longer.
Chen Jingbai grabbed her wrist. "We haven't made things clear yet. Please don't leave. I don't want to break up. There really won't be a next time."
He He struggled to pull her hand away. "You'll do it again. As long as you're in the same class, there will be a next time. There will be countless similar situations. Let's just go our separate ways."
Chen Jingbai looked flustered and said in a humble tone, "I'm applying to transfer classes. I really won't let her come near me again, He Bao. Please forgive me this time, okay?"
He He was a little angry. "Chen Jingbai, can you be a little more dignified? I don't want to say anything more hurtful. Your persistent pestering will only make me hate you more."
Chen Jingbai paused, "Once I've dealt with this, I'll definitely take good care of her."
"What happens to you is none of my business. We've already broken up. Don't come looking for me again." He He ignored him and left.
Chen Jingbai stared in the direction He He had left, then returned to the restaurant dejectedly to get his things, intending to catch up with He He.
Seeing him like this, the students and teachers present thought he had encountered something serious and asked him about it.
"Jing Bai, what's wrong? You don't look well. Did something happen?"
"Xiao Chen, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, don't worry about me. I have to leave now. You all enjoy your meal." Chen Jingbai didn't say much more, and then said goodbye to the teachers present one last time, "Teachers, please enjoy your meal. I'm sorry, I have to go now."
After Chen Jingbai left, the students looked at each other, and some of them turned their gaze to Zhao Xiaohui.
It is suspected that Zhao Xiaohui grabbed Chen Jingbai's hand just now, and Chen Jingbai's girlfriend saw it. Now the girlfriend is angry, and Chen Jingbai is about to coax her.
Come to think of it, nobody likes their partner having their hand held by someone else, with such intimate gestures; it's uncomfortable for anyone to see.
Zhao Xiaohui is really something. She knows Chen Jingbai has a girlfriend, but she doesn't know how to avoid suspicion and insists on getting close to him.
Now look what's happened! Chen Jingbai's girlfriend saw them and made them unhappy. She's really looking for trouble.
For a moment, all sorts of subtle glances fell on Zhao Xiaohui.
Zhao Xiaohui unconsciously clenched her chopsticks, feeling somewhat embarrassed and uncomfortable.
After Chen Jingbai chased after her, he didn't dare to get too close to He He and could only follow behind her at a distance.
He thought He He was going back to school, but He He stopped at the bus stop instead.
She stood at the bus stop waiting for the bus, while Chen Jingbai stood not far away, pondering where He He was going. He wondered if he should get on the bus after she boarded. If he didn't, he was worried about her; if he did, he was afraid of upsetting her.
Just as he was struggling with his decision, a bus slowly pulled up. It was the bus He He wanted to take, and she boarded it.
Chen Jingbai instinctively followed and paid the bill behind He He.
Hearing Chen Jingbai announce to the ticket seller: I'm going to the same place as her.
He He turned around and glanced at Chen Jingbai with a furrowed brow.
Why is he so annoying? What did he do here?
She glanced at him and then looked away, finding a seat in the back row. Ignoring Chen Jingbai, she turned to look out the window.
When the bus arrived at Rongcheng University of Science and Technology, He He got off, and Chen Jingbai followed her off.
Halfway there, seeing Chen Jingbai's shadow looming over her, He He couldn't take it anymore. She turned around and glared at him, "What are you doing? Don't follow me. I never knew you were so annoying."
Chen Jingbai's eyes were sincere: "I'm worried about you."
He He didn't give her a second glance. "Do I need you to worry about me? Don't follow me."
She was already unhappy, and Chen Jingbai's matter made her even more unhappy.
Chen Jingbai said without changing his expression, "Then I won't follow you. I'm also here to find Su Lin."
He He clenched her fists, her anger rising rapidly. "Then go find him. I'm not going to look for him."
She turned and walked back to the bus stop. Fine, she wouldn't go looking for Cheng Surin anymore! Let Chen Jingbai look for her, let him look for her!
Chen Jingbai followed again, saying, "Then I won't look for him. I'll just follow you, okay?"
He He was about to explode. How could Chen Jingbai be so shameless? She stopped and grinned at Chen Jingbai, "Let me tell you, if you keep doing this, we can't be friends anymore."
Chen Jingbai: "I don't want to be friends with you, I want to be your girlfriend."
He He covered her eyes with her hand, exhaled, and said loudly, "Chen Jingbai, don't push your luck. If you keep bothering me, I'll call the police. I'm not kidding. Today is already very annoying. What do you want?"
Seeing that He Hezhen was angry, Chen Jingbai's face flushed with anger, and he dared not continue to pester her: "I'm sorry, I won't follow you anymore. I'll just watch you from afar, and I'll leave once you enter Rongli University of Technology, okay?"
Seeing Chen Jingbai back down, He He didn't say anything more: "You'd better do that."
He He entered the gate of Rongli University of Technology and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Jingbai really didn't follow her in.
Finally, I got rid of Chen Jingbai. I was annoyed by him the whole way, but now that I can't see him, I feel much better.
She originally wanted to discuss countermeasures with Chen Jingbai, but she was so unlucky that she saw that annoying girl pulling and tugging at Chen Jingbai again.
They broke up in a fit of anger, but that's for the best, because she won't have to suffer from that inexplicable jealousy anymore.
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are easy to find, right? She turned around and found a college student who was more handsome, had more time, and knew how to be considerate than Chen Jingbai!
He He came to Cheng Su Lin's school, and walked straight without turning, quickly arriving at Cheng Su Lin's dormitory building.
Cheng Surin was startled when she was called down.
He hurriedly threw on some clothes and came downstairs, afraid that He He might have come looking for him about something important. After all, He He didn't come to see him often, especially not so late at night.
