Recently, the person who has been regularly dating Lin Xi is a tall, slender, and cool-looking guy. He only shows a slightly shy smile when he sees Lin Xi; otherwise, he remains cold and aloof.
This left a deeper impression on the aunt regarding the couple.
"Oh, then I will go to the library to look for her," Lu Chenyu said with a disappointed expression.
The aunt immediately pointed out directions enthusiastically, telling Lu Chenyu how to get to the library.
After thanking her, Lu Chenyu hurriedly made his way to the library.
"Ah, there goes someone about to experience heartbreak," a sigh floated from behind Lu Chenyu as he walked not far.
Focused solely on reaching the library, Lu Chenyu kept his head down and walked quickly, not in the mood to notice the various faces passing by or the ancient buildings on campus.
As he walked along Academy Road, flanked by tall Metasequoia trees and stepping on the soft red leaves, Lu Chenyu failed to notice a couple approaching him, laughing and chatting.
The boy was completely focused on the girl beside him, while she smiled brightly at him as they talked.
Both of them were so engrossed that they didn't see Lu Chenyu hurrying along with his head down.
Suddenly, An Shaojie stumbled and nearly crashed into a tree on the side of the road due to the incoming person.
He looked up and found himself face-to-face with a tall and handsome guy.
An Shaojie, who is over 1.75 meters tall, realized that the person who bumped into him was not shorter than him; in fact, he was even taller. The only reason it seemed like he was in An Shaojie's arms was that he had his head down. In reality, he had just fallen against An Shaojie.
Moreover, the newcomer appeared to be more robust than An Shaojie, which caused An Shaojie to stumble. If the other person hadn't stepped on his foot, he might have been knocked into the nearby basketball court.
An Shaojie tried to lift his foot, but he couldn't; the tip of his foot was still being stepped on by that person!
"Hey!" An Shaojie shouted, "You're still stepping on my foot."
Even though he was furious from being bumped into, he realized he wasn't paying attention while walking, so An Shaojie didn't explode in anger. After Lu Chenyu removed his foot, he could only grit his teeth and endure the pain.
Lu Chenyu lifted his foot but was stunned by An Shaojie's exaggerated expression of pain, staring at him in disbelief.
If Lu Chenyu was a silly goose, then standing next to An Shaojie was Lin Xi, resembling a clueless ostrich, peering curiously at Lu Chenyu's face. Or perhaps more like a silly pig, with a round mouth and wide eyes, displaying nothing but confusion.
"Lu Chenyu! Is that you?" the clueless ostrich finally exclaimed.
Lin Xi's sudden shout instantly alleviated An Shaojie's foot pain and also snapped the dazed Lu Chenyu back to reality.
They both turned their gazes toward the source of the voice, ultimately landing on Lin Xi, who was wearing a pink coat.
"Lin Xi!" Lu Chenyu exclaimed.
"Lu Chenyu! It really is you!" Lin Xi's face lit up with joy.
If An Shaojie hadn't been there, the two would have almost jumped up to hug each other, their excitement and surprise evident.
Now it was An Shaojie's turn to be the silly goose, staring blankly as the two held hands and leaped with joy. The usually gentle and refined Lin Xi was acting like a whirlwind around that person, playfully hitting and patting him, while he shyly looked at her with a bashful smile.
Looking at that person again, the usually proud and confident An Shaojie felt an inexplicable sense of rejection and jealousy towards him, not yet knowing the relationship between Lin Xi and him.
Every cell in his body immediately formed a defensive barrier, his gaze sharply fixed on that handsome, sunny face.
"Brother Shaojie, this is my high school classmate Lu Chenyu."
After a long time, Lin Xi finally remembered An Shaojie beside her. Although An Shaojie had been wearing a cold expression, Lin Xi, caught up in her excitement, didn't notice at all and continued to bounce her incredibly flexible body in front of Lu Chenyu.
"Oh, hello," An Shaojie greeted indifferently.
Lu Chenyu, also in a state of excitement, didn't mind An Shaojie's coldness.
"Lu Chenyu, this is a friend from my hometown I mentioned before, An Shaojie, Brother Shaojie."
In fact, when Lin Xi introduced An Shaojie and Lu Chenyu to each other, she inadvertently chose her words carefully.
The so-called inadvertent careful choice of words was a reflection of Lin Xi's usual blend of simplicity and shrewdness when interacting with others, showcasing her cautious attention to detail in natural conversations.
Especially when introducing An Shaojie to Lu Chenyu, it would surely sound to others as if Lin Xi had put considerable thought into her words.
Because she had never actually mentioned An Shaojie to Lu Chenyu; she had only talked about her childhood hometown with other female classmates and mentioned An Shaojie in passing.
By introducing them this way, she inadvertently dispelled Lu Chenyu's suspicions while also bridging the gap between herself and An Shaojie.
Moreover, when considering whether to refer to An Shaojie as a friend or childhood companion, Lin Xi casually chose the term "friend," which suited their current relationship while distancing her from the intimacy of their childhood bond.
Most importantly, the final addition of "Brother Shaojie" sounded warm and friendly but seemed to clarify something for Lu Chenyu.
After hearing Lin Xi's introduction of An Shaojie, Lu Chenyu's doubts about him were dispelled.
At this moment, An Shaojie was savoring the words Lin Xi had used to describe Lu Chenyu.
"Classmate?" An Shaojie silently repeated in his mind.
In An Shaojie's consciousness, regardless of whether Lu Chenyu liked Lin Xi or whether Lin Xi liked Lu Chenyu, at the very least, the term "classmate" meant that she and he had not yet started anything.
For him, this meant that there was still time.
Was everything still possible just because she and he had not started? Deep down, An Shaojie understood that even if Lin Xi and Lu Chenyu had already begun something, would he give up?
No!
A firm voice within An Shaojie shouted that no matter what, he would not give up on Lin Xi.
However, upon hearing the word "classmate" come from Lin Xi's lips, the sensitive An Shaojie's tense emotions slightly relaxed.
After Lin Xi finished her introduction, he politely smiled.
Then it seemed he remembered something and turned to Lin Xi with an intimate tone, saying, "Your classmate has arrived, so I should play the host and treat him to a meal. It's just the right time for dinner." His tone was casual, his expression light, yet it concealed a subtle provocation. The implication of his words was also a challenge to Lu Chenyu; at certain times, in front of certain people—at least now in front of Lu Chenyu—he could stand alongside Lin Xi. He could represent Lin Xi in hosting Lu Chenyu. Thus, the underlying meaning of his statement was that he and Lin Xi were the hosts while Lu Chenyu was the guest.
