This time, when they were talking, Qin Ruoyao happened to come across them again.
Qin Ruoyao frowned.
Last time she thought it was a mistake, but this time she clearly saw it with her own eyes. Luo Yuan and Lin Xuan were conversing quite harmoniously.
Because of her, every time they met in the past, it was filled with animosity.
What's going on now?
Luo Yuan wasn’t he aware that Lin Xuan treated her poorly? Why was he still chatting and laughing with Lin Xuan?
Displeasure appeared on Qin Ruoyao's face.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Your goddess is here, so I'll head back to class first."
Every time Lin Xuan left Qin Ruoyao in an awkward position, she never went out of her way to talk to him.
She approached Luo Yuan in her high heels and asked, "Luo Yuan, what were you talking to Lin Xuan about? I saw that you two were chatting quite happily."
No longer seeking Qin Ruoyao’s approval, Luo Yuan had become more assertive.
"Who are you to me? Who I talk to is none of your business," Luo Yuan sneered coldly.
Qin Ruoyao was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Luo Yuan, why are you speaking to me like this?" In the past, every time Luo Yuan spoke to her, it was always gentle, not even daring to raise his voice.
Now, he was snapping at her!
Qin Ruoyao couldn't help but think of Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan had also suddenly changed in such a manner.
Was Luo Yuan turning into another Lin Xuan...
Qin Ruoyao felt a tightening in her heart.
Luo Yuan sneered again, "Speaking to a b***h like you like this is perfectly normal, isn't it?"
"Let me make it clear, from today onwards, I'm done being your lapdog!"
Qin Ruoyao's eyes reddened. "Luo Yuan, did I misunderstand you?"
"Misunderstand?" Luo Yuan sneered. "Qin Ruoyao, ever since the day my family went bankrupt and you mocked me, I've seen your true colors."
"You actually thought I was an idiot after you treated me like that and still came crawling back to you?"
"Qin Ruoyao, just wait. A b***h like you won’t end well!"
Luo Yuan walked past Qin Ruoyao and headed back to the classroom.
Qin Ruoyao's limbs were icy cold.
What exactly was going on? This morning, she and Luo Yuan were still fine.
Luo Yuan even mentioned that it was the sixth anniversary of their meeting and brought a cake, red wine, and roses to her house.
In just a few hours, Luo Yuan's attitude towards her changed completely...
The entire afternoon, Qin Ruoyao was in a daze.
Qin Ruoyao started her period, clutching her stomach and sweating profusely as she lay on her desk.
In the past, Luo Yuan would always prepare a hot water bottle for her and even cook brown sugar water ahead of time during these days.
Qin Ruoyao had always enjoyed the care Luo Yuan gave her.
She clutched her stomach in pain.
"Luo Yuan," Qin Ruoyao turned to face Luo Yuan, "Could you please go buy me a hot water bottle? My stomach hurts so much..."
Luo Yuan looked utterly annoyed. "I'm not your boyfriend. Why should I buy that for you?"
The students around them were shocked.
"Holy cow, what's up with Luo Yuan? The old Luo Yuan would have been rushing to help Qin Ruoyao the moment he saw her like this."
"Wow, has Luo Yuan 'seen the light' too?"
"First Lin Xuan, now Luo Yuan—what’s happening with everyone all of a sudden? It feels like they've all seen through Qin Ruoyao’s true nature."
Li Siyu frowned. "Luo Yuan, all Yao Yao asked is for you to buy her a hot water bottle. Why are you talking like that?"
"Isn't what I said the truth? I’m not her boyfriend or her relative. Come on, tell me, do I have any reason to help her?" Luo Yuan rolled his eyes.
Qin Ruoyao bit her lip.
She finally understood why Luo Yuan had suddenly changed towards her.
It must be because he was still hung up on her relationship with Lin Li. Previously, saying he wanted to be her friend was just a tactic to gradually get closer to her.
Perhaps Luo Yuan felt that winning her heart was hopeless and decided to give up. Even though it must have been painful for him, he still lashed out at her to cut her out of his life.
She really didn't want to lose Luo Yuan as a friend, but she couldn't break up with Lin Li...
"Luo Yuan, you..."
Before Li Siyu could argue further, Qin Ruoyao stopped her. "Siyu, Luo Yuan is right. I shouldn't have bothered him. It's okay, I'll just tough it out. It’ll stop hurting soon."
She gave Luo Yuan a humbled, regretful look.
Luo Yuan looked everywhere but at Qin Ruoyao.
Qin Ruoyao felt so wronged.
Why did Luo Yuan insist on being with her? He clearly knew she was with Lin Li. Why couldn't he understand her feelings?
And besides, if you truly love someone, it's about wanting the other person to be happy, not about possession. Why couldn't Luo Yuan understand that?
"No, Yao Yao, I'll go buy you some medicine."
Li Siyu genuinely cared for Qin Ruoyao as a friend, so she got up and ran to buy some medicine for her.
Lin Xuan watched the drama unfolding from his seat.
He had a feeling that once Qin Ruoyao and Lin Li broke up, there would be a show of Qin Ruoyao chasing Luo Yuan.
During class.
Lin Xuan was once again napping on his desk. He was the only one in the whole class who dared to sleep, and the professor turned a blind eye.
Previously, the professor had disliked Lin Xuan's sleeping and deliberately woke him up, trying to embarrass him with a challenging computer problem.
But Lin Xuan effortlessly solved it. The professor then threw out several more complex problems, even ones he himself struggled with, and Lin Xuan solved those too.
The professor realized that Lin Xuan's computer skills might even surpass his own.
Such a student could sleep in class and even mouth off to him, and it would be fine!
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was practicing martial arts in his personal space.
Although he had narrowly won a few days ago, it had taken Lin Xuan several days to recover.
Su Hua, on the other hand, after sleeping for over ten hours, went back to work as normal.
Lin Xuan's pride was once again deeply wounded and he began to push himself even harder to improve his physical strength.
In the president's office of Su Corporation.
Su Hua glanced at the time and interrupted the manager who was reporting, "The rest can wait until tomorrow. I'm done for the day."
"Huh?" The manager frowned. He looked up at the clock on the wall, and it was only five o'clock. The company’s official closing time was six-thirty.
Su Hua smirked, "I'm going to pick up my boyfriend from school."
The manager: "!!!"
Oh my god.
From school?
The CEO’s boyfriend is a student...
The manager stumbled out of the office in a daze. Jiang Qing noticed his confusion and frowned. "Wang Manager, CEO Su is only twenty-four. It's not a big deal for her to be in a relationship with a college student. It’s just an age-gap relationship."
"Smack—" The manager slapped his forehead.
He almost forgot, Su Hua started working in the company at the age of eighteen and officially took over at twenty-one.
Although she had been in the company for six years, she was still young.
Lin Xuan was absent from his last afternoon class, as the school had arranged a group activity and dismissed them early.
He arrived at the school gate to wait for Su Hua.
Lin Qingwan also drove to ShangQing University's gate. She had recently sent people to investigate Lin Xuan's past and even visited the kindergarten he had attended to learn more about his life.
Only then did she realize how tough Lin Xuan's life had been, and it made her heart ache. She couldn't help but come to see him.
