Chapter 23
Xiao Rongyu had just taken a shower and was wearing an elegant knee-length nightgown with her wet hair draped over her shoulders. But silly her had decided to walk out to meet Hansheng looking like that. She walked out of the school gate for quite a while before she saw Chen Hansheng.
“Why did you call me out so late at night? I was getting ready to sleep.” Xiao Rongyu complained.
However, when she noticed the fruits in Chen Hansheng’s hands, she was very happy. “The fruits in the school convenience store are not very fresh. Where did you buy these grapes and cherries?”
“I bought them from the nearby Yiwu Business Center.”
Chen Hansheng had been smoking before she arrived. When he saw her, he quickly threw the cigarette away.
“Hansheng…”
Xiao Rongyu was touched. “These fruits are quite expensive. Don’t buy them again in the future.”
Chen Hansheng thought to himself, ‘There won’t be any more in the future. If it weren’t for the fact that school had just started and I didn’t have a chance to get close to Shen Youchu yet, I wouldn’t have given these fruits to you.’
“As long as you like them,” said Chen Hansheng instead.
Xiao Rongyu looked at Chen Hansheng a little strangely. Xiao Rongyu was much more beautiful than Teacher Xiaoyu from earlier. Moreover, the former had just taken a shower thus emitted a pleasant fragrance through the evening air.
Chen Hansheng’s stomach suddenly rumbled. He had drunk coffee all evening and hadn’t had time to eat.
“Did you not eat dinner?” Xiao Rongyu had heard his tummy rumble.
“I was going to but then I spent my money on the fruits. Do you have any money?”
Chen Hansheng was so smooth at lying.
Xiao Rongyu thought that Hansheng had returned to his former self.
“I only have ten yuan to buy a hairpin.”
Xiao Rongyu opened her palm, revealing a ten yuan note.
“Ah, that would only get me two wheat crackers.” Chen Hansheng shook his head and sighed.
…
There was a large number of stalls set up after 8:00 pm along the road between Donghai University and the School of Finance and Economics. Most of the stalls sold food or drinks to satisfy bored university students’ late-night cravings.
Chen Hansheng managed to get himself two wheat cracker sandwiches and just barely convinced the stall owner to give him a cup of juice for free. He and Xiao Rongyu found a random place to sit down and eat.
Xiao Rongyu peeled the grapes as she sat next to Hansheng, occasionally advising him to eat slowly.
“Xiao Rongyu.”
Under the bright moonlight, the artificial lake was reflected in her eyes. There was a soul-stirring beauty on her oval face.
Chen Hansheng was a little dazed. Xiao Rongyu probably also realized that the atmosphere was becoming a little too suggestive. She hurriedly turned around and showed him her graceful back.
Chen Hansheng coughed to break the silence, then changed the topic, “How’s your dorm?”
“It’s fine.”
Xiao Rongyu replied somewhat dejectedly. It seemed that university dorm relationships were more complicated than she had expected.
“What about you? Do you have any plans recently?” asked Xiao Rongyu.
“Yeah.”
Chen Hansheng thought about it and felt that it would be good to talk about it with Xiao Rongyu.
“I want to seriously pursue a girl.”
Xiao Rongyu was shocked as she asked, “Is that girl very beautiful?”
“I have never met anyone more beautiful than her,” said Chen Hansheng.
Based on Shen Youchu’s figure, appearance, and temperament, even Xiao Rongyu would tie with her at most.
‘Never?’
Xiao Rongyu repeated in her thoughts. How old was Hansheng anyway? Wasn’t he just eighteen?
She continued to ask, “What if the girl only wants to study and doesn’t accept you?”
This was a potential problem. Shen Youchu was able to enter the graduate school of Jianye University, which meant that she must have studied hard.
“Well, I’ll just wait for her. I don’t think I will be able to give up,” said Chen Hansheng firmly.
“What if the parents don’t agree?”
Xiao Rongyu’s voice suddenly trembled.
Chen Hansheng thought to himself, ‘Shen Youchu’s parents are already dead, so how could they disagree.’
“I don’t need her parents’ consent. It’s fine as long as she’s willing.”
There was another long period of silence. When they were about to reach Xiao Rongyu’s dormitory, she suddenly made a decision and said, “Hansheng, thank you for your kindness, but I need to seriously consider it first.”
The moment she was done speaking, she immediately went upstairs without looking back, leaving Chen Hansheng staring blankly after her.
“Damn it, I’m going after Shen Youchu. What does she need to consider for?”
