Chapter 193 Are you on a date?
Unexpectedly, Xia Zhen and Lu Jin saw a somewhat familiar figure at the school gate.
Tang Susu held an umbrella in one hand and her phone in the other, as if waiting for someone to reply to her message.
They weren't familiar with each other, so they could have just pretended not to see her and left. But one of the boys walked towards Tang Susu's direction.
Tang Susu's eyes lit up with joy. Then, the boy looked up and saw Lu Jin and Xia Zhen.
Mu Zhijing.
Xia Zhen noticed that he was looking at Lu Jin, and she asked, "Do you two know each other?"
Lu Jin replied, "My roommate."
This was truly unexpected for Xia Zhen. It turns out the world is so small. In the original story, Mu Zhijing found Lu Jin in the ward for Tang Susu's sake, implying that he should not covet Tang Susu's high status.
However, now Mu Zhijing has become Lu Jin's roommate.
Even if you originally planned to pretend you didn't see them and just leave, now that you've seen each other, it's not easy to pretend you didn't see them.
Mu Zhijing smiled, "Lu Jin, and this one too..."
His gaze fell on Xia Zhen, and he wore a polite smile, appearing very gentlemanly.
Mu Zhijing said, "You must be Xia Zhen, right?"
Tang Susu was also surprised to see Xia Zhen and Lu Jin. However, she had thought before coming that Xia Zhen and Lu Jin were studying at a university here, and that they might run into each other. But she didn't expect that they would meet by such a coincidence.
Tang Susu asked Mu Zhijing, "Do you know each other?"
Mu Zhijing explained, "Lu Jin and I are roommates, and Xia Zhen is very outstanding. Many people in the school have heard of her."
What makes something excellent?
Xia Zhen only became famous because of her face.
She glanced back and forth between Mu Zhijing and Tang Susu, "Are you two going on a date?"
Tang Susu blushed slightly. "Mu Zhijing helped me before. I just took advantage of my holiday to invite him to dinner. It's not a date!"
Mu Zhijing smiled but remained silent.
This ambiguous attitude, neither affirmative nor negative, leaves a lot of room for imagination for others.
Tang Susu felt panicked. Her grandfather had warned her not to associate with Mu Zhijing, and now that Xia Zhen had seen him, she didn't know what Xia Zhen would say to her grandfather.
Mu Zhijing asked Lu Jin, "Where are you going to have fun? Why don't we go together?"
Lu Jin replied calmly, "I only bought two movie tickets, and the movie is about to start, so I can't leave with you."
Mu Zhijing said with a hint of regret, "Okay, we can get together again next time."
Lu Jin hummed in agreement, and without saying much to Mu Zhijing, he took Xia Zhen's hand and left first.
After walking for a while, Xia Zhen still looked back.
Mu Zhijing was talking to Tang Susu with his head down. The handsome boy's gentle demeanor was very charming in the eyes of many girls.
Lu Jin said softly, "Zhenzhen."
Xia Zhen looked away, then shook Lu Jin's hand. "I only glanced at you out of curiosity, Lu Jin. I only like you."
Lu Jin put her slightly cold hand into his pocket, held it tightly, and said helplessly, "The road is slippery in the rain, watch where you're going."
He's not the kind of person who gets jealous easily.
Xia Zhen chuckled and asked, "Mu Zhijing is actually your roommate. You two must have a lot of contact, right?"
He shook his head. "Aside from resting in the dormitory, he didn't have any other contact with us. He preferred to associate with the friends he made outside rather than the people in the dormitory."
Mu Zhijing is indeed good-tempered and seems to get along with everyone. He can make friends with anyone. There are quite a few girls in school who pursue Mu Zhijing, but Mu Zhijing has never clearly expressed who he likes.
I never expected that he would still be in contact with Tang Susu.
Lu Jin lowered his eyes and said, "Zhenzhen, stay away from Mu Zhijing and Tang Susu."
Xia Zhen asked, "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
Lu Jin was silent for a moment. He was not used to talking badly about people behind their backs, but this time he still spoke up: "Just now you asked if they were on a date. Mu Zhijing neither denied nor confirmed it. If Tang Susu is not his best choice, he can say that they are just ordinary friends if someone asks about their relationship. If Tang Susu is his best choice, then he can give the opposite answer."
Mu Zhijing is the kind of person who always leaves himself a way out in everything he does. Some people might call him clever, but to discerning people, he's just looking for a better option while still employed.
Lu Jin added, "Tang Susu is a member of the Xia family. I'm not sure if Mu Zhijing has ulterior motives for approaching Tang Susu."
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Mu Zhijing will eventually set his sights on Xia Zhen, since the heir of the Xia family is Xia Yu, who is Xia Zhen's father, not Tang Susu's father.
Lu Jin felt that he might be judging others by his own petty standards, but when it came to Xia Zhen, he always thought things through more carefully.
Xia Zhen chuckled, "Don't worry, I have no interest in someone like Mu Zhijing. Even if he wants to use Tang Susu to make a move against the Xia family, it won't be that easy."
Ultimately, she wasn't familiar with Mu Zhijing, but since he was the male protagonist of this world, he was bound to be entangled with Tang Susu.
However, judging from today's meeting, Xia Zhen also felt that Mu Zhijing was not a simple person. Tang Susu thought about things very simply. If she had really been tricked by Mu Zhijing, she probably wouldn't have been able to see it.
Xia Zhen's feelings were somewhat complicated.
But once they got to the supermarket, Xia Zhen didn't have much time to think. Ignoring her pitiful look, Lu Jin grabbed a cauliflower and then a cabbage. As he grabbed more and more vegetables, all the resentment in her body seemed to materialize.
But Lu Jin still took a box of chocolates in front of her when he passed by the snack section.
He placed the chocolate in her hand. "Are you not angry anymore?"
Xia Zhen hugged the chocolate and shook her head, "I won't be angry with you."
The young lady gets angry easily, but she's also very easy to coax, of course, only because the person who coaxes her is him.
I don't know if Lu Jin has been through something lately, but he seemed unusually enthusiastic tonight. He's always been very restrained and planned everything he does, including being intimate with her. He only does it once a week on weekend nights.
It was only because of Xia Zhen's unreasonable demands that he reluctantly indulged her and let her act up a few more times.
But before Xia Zhen could even try to seduce him, he had already tormented her twice.
