Chapter 165 She and He
Xu Ye took Su Zijing back to school, then took out his phone and dialed Liang Hu's number.
"I need an explanation!"
On the other end of the phone, cold sweat instantly poured down Liang Hu's forehead.
He had countless excuses, such as Xingcheng being Xie family territory after all, and the other party being Xie's second young master, and so on.
In the end, however, he didn't offer a single word in defense. Instead, he bowed his head and said, "This was my oversight. Please punish me!"
Xu Ye took a deep breath: "From now on, keep a close eye on them. If there's a next time, you won't need to follow me anymore."
Without waiting for a reply, he hung up the phone.
Unruly and ruthless? Extremely vengeful?
He ruined my confession day, and he'll never forget that grudge!
……
11 p.m., Jiangzhou University girls' dormitory.
The three girls were really scared tonight, and it's only now that they've gradually calmed down.
Thinking that Xu Ye had saved them tonight and even secured 50 million in compensation for them, Meng Xingwan pursed her lips, but ultimately couldn't help but say to Su Zijin:
"Zijin, how did you and Senior Xu meet?"
Zhao Jiaqi and Lu Yunran were equally curious about this question, so they both looked at her.
Su Zijin paused for a moment. She didn't really want to say anything, but then she saw the three of them looking at her expectantly.
She was silent for a moment, then finally said softly, "I met him while playing games."
Lu Yunran exclaimed in surprise: "Playing games?"
Zhao Jiaqi's eyes widened: "Online dating?!"
Meng Xingwan was shocked: "Why have I had no results after using pesticides for so many years?"
The key is that one of these two people is now the number one beauty at Jiangnan University, and the other is a super-rich second-generation heir with family assets of hundreds of billions!
Did you meet while playing games?
And they even got together?
Isn't that shocking enough?
Zhao Jiaqi couldn't help but complain to Meng Xingwan: "With your gaming skills, you can even get the MVP against bots. People who play with you are either furious or they're about to faint from anger. Who would want to have an online romance with you?"
"Zhao Jiaqi, you—"
"Alright, Wanwan, let Zijing continue."
Lu Yunran interrupted the two of them, looking at Su Zijin with anticipation and asking, "What happened? How did you two meet?"
Meng Xingwan and Zhao Jiaqi immediately stopped, cupped their faces, and lay down beside Su Zijin's bed with bright, sparkling eyes.
“I’ve always been clumsy and not good at communicating with people, so I often caused misunderstandings and was disliked by others. Over time, I started to dislike seeing people and often hid away to play video games.”
Su Zijing spoke slowly, as if she was recalling something with each sentence. Indeed... more than four years ago... it really seems like a long time ago.
Meng Xingwan and the other two listened very attentively, because Su Zijin was too mysterious in their eyes.
Now that they finally have the opportunity to get to know her better, they are naturally very interested.
"Then, during the summer after I graduated from junior high, I was matched with a friend who was a very cheerful boy..."
The three of them immediately realized it was Senior Xu!
But no one interrupted, because the real important part was obviously coming soon.
Sure enough, the next moment, Su Zijing's voice continued: "At first, I disliked that boy because he was really bad at games, had no brains, and couldn't even listen to footsteps. His only purpose was to drag me down, and he was so noisy that his mouth never stopped."
"He talks a lot, mostly about things unrelated to games, like the scenery around him, things at school, what happened with his classmates, and he always likes to ask me if I've encountered anything interesting."
“But I rarely go out, I have no friends, and I rarely even attend school. How could I understand what he was saying? That’s why I disliked him even more.”
Meng Xingwan hesitated before raising her hand: "A question."
Su Zijing glanced at her: "Hmm?"
Meng Xingwan asked curiously, "Since you disliked this boy so much back then, why did you keep hanging out with him?"
Su Zijing's gaze lingered for a moment: "Hmm... because his voice is very pleasant, and... he has never cursed in front of me, nor has he ever used foul language."
Meng Xingwan and Zhao Jiaqi both gasped in surprise. They never swore while playing games. Their manners were too good!
Lu Yunran, however, keenly sensed something and cautiously said, "I think... could it be because you actually envy him, envy his cheerfulness, and yearn for his life?"
Su Zijin immediately looked at her.
Lu Yunran felt inexplicably guilty and quickly said, "I...I just guessed..."
Su Zijing did not deny it. On the contrary, she said with bright eyes, "You are right. I was just saying what I thought at the time. The time when I truly realized my true feelings was because of something that happened later."
Several people listened as she continued.
“I had known him for a few months, and I still disliked him. I would never contact him unless he contacted me first… until December of the same year.”
"That year I was a freshman in high school. I had a minor surgery because of an illness and spent some time in the hospital."
“During that time, I was forbidden from going online or using my phone… I didn’t think it was a big deal, but it worried him a lot.”
"He couldn't wait for me to come online, so he would leave me messages every day..."
"It snowed here this year, it seems to be the first snow in more than ten years..."
"I made a special trip to Mount Lu today. Mount Lu is truly beautiful in the snow. I really hope you can come and see it too..."
"Poyang Lake is frozen... The sky is very blue, the clouds are very light... I have a lot of homework today... I accidentally got soaked while cleaning, and I almost froze to death..."
"It's all just pointless stuff..."
Despite her words, a smile gradually crept onto her lips: "Every day, he says it every day... I know what he means; he's trying very hard to show me all the good things in his life."
"I finally replied to him, but he said he didn't know if something had happened to me or if I was unhappy... If I was unhappy, I hoped his sharing would make me feel better."
"But if something happens... he wants me to know that someone will miss me... and hopes that I can be happier in heaven."
"To be honest, I've never thought anyone could be so funny. He's just an online friend, and he's only been missing for a while... and I hate him so much, yet he actually thought something had happened to me..."
"I laughed for a long time, a really long time..."
"But it's so strange, why would someone I've never met in person care about me so much when we're so far apart?"
