It was exactly 9:30 in the evening when Chen Zihan returned to the Hubin campus.
"I've been waiting for you for a whole hour." When she saw Chen Zihan coming over, Luo Xiaofei said coldly, "Did you spend a lot of time explaining to Lu Ruorong that we have no relationship?"
"Just think of me as a scumbag who likes to play with girls' feelings!" Chen Zihan didn't explain too much. "Whether you despise me, ridicule me, or whatever, I accept it."
"Don't you want to explain to me?" Luo Xiaofei lost control of her emotions, her voice rising considerably. "Why don't you explain?"
"What do I need to explain?" Chen Zihan spread his hands. "What's the relationship between us? What's the relationship between me and Lu Ruorong? We've only known each other for less than two months. What do I need to explain? Am I your boyfriend, or are you my girlfriend?"
Luo Xiaofei stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
"Nineteen-year-olds are curious about everything, ignorant about everything. How can they compare to you mature sophomores?" Chen Zihan said with a hint of self-mockery, looking at the moon in the sky. "I never dared to imagine that I could win the favor of goddess-like seniors like you."
Luo Xiaofei said angrily, "You are so hypocritical!"
"During the rehearsal for the welcome party, the four of us went to dinner together: you, Lin Yinuo, and Wang Zhenjun. In the car, I said that my life goal was to be a scumbag who had multiple relationships. You also told Lin Yinuo that I had the potential to be a scumbag." Chen Zihan laughed self-deprecatingly, "I am indeed hypocritical, so it's better to stay away from me!"
Luo Xiaofei was surprised that Chen Zihan was so shameless and stared at him for a long time.
Chen Zihan put his hands in his pockets, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said a few words that sounded very philosophical: "People make choices throughout their lives, and a lot of the efforts they make are to have better opportunities for choice. This is true in love and career. Through contact and further understanding, you choose the person you love, and choose the person you can start a family with. Through practice and in-depth understanding, you figure out what you want to do and finally make a decision on what you want to do. If what you do is not satisfactory, you may change jobs."
When Luo Xiaofei couldn't help but look sideways at him, Chen Zihan finally said the conclusion: "I'm only nineteen years old. I can prepare for my own choices and put in the effort. Whether it's love or career, I will choose carefully. When I feel I can make a decision, I will finally decide what to choose."
"Don't you think you're being selfish?" Luo Xiaofei said sarcastically, "Why should others accept your choice?"
"Choices are mutual, there's no basis for them. Furthermore, a person's choices aren't set in stone. Sometimes a small thing can influence a person's decision." At this point, Chen Zihan let out a wry smile: "Let everything take its course, how wonderful!"
After hearing this, Luo Xiaofei remained silent for a long time.
She understood Chen Zihan's implication. He was only dating Lu Ruorong and her to prepare for a choice, not to make a decision. He would choose whoever was better and who he could get along with more harmoniously.
This made her feel very uncomfortable, but she couldn't show her discomfort.
Just before meeting Chen Zihan, she hated this guy a little bit and felt that he was playing with her feelings.
But after listening to what Chen Zihan said, she couldn't hold on to this idea anymore.
Seeing Luo Xiaofei's silence, Chen Zihan said, "I once told the people in our dormitory that I actually hate actively pursuing girls. My biggest wish in this life is to be pursued by many girls. When they pursue me, I will carefully compare them and make a choice after seeing their character clearly..."
"Do you want Lu Ruorong and I to compete for you at the same time?" These words came out of his mouth.
After blurting out the words, Luo Xiaofei regretted it.
Isn't this a disguised admission that I like him?
However, Chen Zihan didn't argue with her about it. Instead, he shook his head and said, "I won't force anyone to do anything. I will only make myself better. Only when a person becomes better and better can he gain more recognition and have more opportunities to choose. No one should make any important decision in life lightly, and this goes for you and me."
Luo Xiaofei fell silent again.
Chen Zihan didn't say anything else.
Finally, Luo Xiaofei couldn't help herself and asked, "Sun Jingnian and I went to the movies, why don't you care at all?"
"I never thought Sun Jingnian was my rival, and I never consider anyone as my rival. Also, if he pursued you and you chose him, that's your business and has nothing to do with me." After seeing Luo Xiaofei's expression change, Chen Zihan continued, "You are an adult. It's normal to have your own ideas about things, but it's also normal for others to disagree with your approach."
"You didn't want to go to the movies with me, so I agreed to go with him in a fit of anger. He had invited me many times. I originally wanted to invite him to the movies once, then explain everything clearly so that he wouldn't bother me again." When she said this, Luo Xiaofei looked up at Chen Zihan, "I didn't expect to see you and Lu Ruorong watching a movie together. The important thing you mentioned turned out to be this. I really... didn't expect it."
"She invited me to the movies first, and I agreed."
Luo Xiaofei took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "How did you know Lu Ruorong?"
