After walking out of the basketball club's training ground, Chen Shuo's pace was very fast.
Wearing basketball shoes, with his height of nearly 1.85 meters, plus the somewhat indescribable urgency in his mood, Chen Shuo walked very fast.
Wearing high heels, Su Xiyan followed behind with some difficulty.
When they reached a shaded path covered with uneven cobblestones, Chen Shuo deliberately walked on the bumpy pebbles.
Wasn't Su Xiyan wearing delicate high heels? Let's see how she can catch up now.
What Chen Shuo didn't expect was that Su Xiyan stood still directly and shouted his name loudly:
"Chen Shuo!!"
With this shout, all the students passing by around the shaded path looked towards Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan.
Su Xiyan was already a focal point wherever she went, like a dazzling star attracting attention from all.
Now, Chen Shuo had also become the focus of everyone's sight.
Chen Shuo was still not used to such attention. Helplessly, he stopped and turned around. The expression on his face was quite speechless.
Seeing that Chen Shuo had stopped, Su Xiyan's eyebrows slightly raised: "Why don't you listen to me properly?"
As soon as Su Xiyan said this, the eyes of the passing students around immediately became meaningful.
Chen Shuo: "..."
There really was no way to deal with her!
As Su Xiyan walked towards Chen Shuo, she said, "Chen Shuo, stand still, don't run! I have something to tell you."
The cobblestone path was too uneven.
Su Xiyan stumbled in her high heels and lost her balance.
Chen Shuo reacted almost instinctively, rushing forward two steps without any thought, reaching out to grab Su Xiyan's slender waist.
Su Xiyan was delighted!
Taking advantage of the situation, she leaned against Chen Shuo's arms, hugging his strong waist tightly and not letting go.
The students present were instantly excited!
"Wow!"
"Is the campus belle Su Xiyan going to announce her relationship with Chen Shuo?"
"I was just walking on campus, but got a mouthful of dog food for free?"
"Good heavens! Do I really get to see this without paying?"
"So sweet! Is this an idol drama filming scene?"
"I'm so envious!!!"
"Miss Su has become so gentle after falling in love!"
"My goddess has finally fallen into someone else's arms. Sob sob~~"
...
Hearing the teasing from the surrounding students, Su Xiyan leaned against Chen Shuo, listening to his heartbeat, looking extremely satisfied.
His heartbeat was very powerful, rhythmic, but it became chaotic as Su Xiyan hugged his waist tighter.
This was exactly the effect she wanted.
Chen Shuo was at a loss being watched and deliberately teased by so many students. He didn't know where to put his hands.
This was not the first time he had hugged Su Xiyan's slender waist, but he had never been as nervous as this time.
Su Xiyan seemed to realize Chen Shuo wanted to escape. She hugged his waist even tighter, leaving Chen Shuo no chance to get away at all.
After a few seconds, Chen Shuo finally compromised.
Lowering his voice, he whispered in Su Xiyan's ear, "Didn't you say you wanted to sit down and have a good talk with me?"
"Okay, I'm free this Friday afternoon."
Only then was Su Xiyan satisfied and nodded: "Great! I'll wait for your message this Friday."
"Also, can you take me off your blacklist?"
"Otherwise, how can I contact you this Friday?"
Chen Shuo helplessly said: "Okay."
"Su Xiyan, can you let go of me now?"
Su Xiyan really wanted to cling to Chen Shuo's arms. But after finally getting Chen Shuo to compromise to some extent and having the opportunity to sit down and explain properly, she'd better not annoy him again.
So Su Xiyan reluctantly let go of Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo hurriedly fled from the scene!
Behind him came Su Xiyan's clear and pleasant voice: "Chen Shuo, I'll wait for your call!!"
"Don't forget what you just promised me!"
Chen Shuo didn't answer, nor did he look back. He just gave Su Xiyan an OK gesture.
Watching Chen Shuo's figure disappear into the depths of the shade, Su Xiyan could no longer restrain her smile!
She looked just like a sly little fox with a successful scheme! Her sweet smile was mixed with inscrutable slyness.
Finally, she had taken the first step in chasing Chen Shuo successfully!
But today was only Tuesday!
There were still three days to Friday when Chen Shuo had agreed to talk.
How should she spend that time?
She couldn't just waste time, could she?
Su Xiyan felt there was still some homework to be done before meeting Chen Shuo on Friday.
On the way back to the dormitory, Chen Shuo kept wondering why he had agreed to talk to Su Xiyan even though his beliefs and position were quite firm?
What exactly had gone wrong?
How did Su Xiyan get her way?
Back at the dormitory, Chen Shuo took a nice shower.
Strangely, he was a bit hungry. After rummaging in the cabinet for a while, he still didn't find any snacks that could fill his stomach.
It happened that Lu Chen had also changed his clothes and was about to go out,
so the two went to the school convenience store together to buy food.
While playing on his phone, Lu Chen stared with round eyes: "Old Chen, have you made up with the campus belle Su again?"
Chen Shuo snorted contemptuously: "Make up? No way."
Lu Chen almost shoved the phone screen into Chen Shuo's face: "Don't lie to me, old Chen! You were clearly pouring out dog food in public, yet you still try to fool me?"
Only then did Chen Shuo see that on the school forum, several posts about Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo's sweet embrace on campus had been upvoted to hot.
There were even photos posted of Su Xiyan leaning against Chen Shuo.
Su Xiyan's appearance really fought back. No matter what angle, she looked perfect and flawless.
Chen Shuo was speechless: "Can't you see she was pestering me desperately while I ignored her completely?"
Lu Chen shook his head quite seriously. "I can't see that."
Chen Shuo: "..."
"Stop gossiping. Anyway, I won't forgive her. Also, don't mention Su Xiyan's name in front of me again. I will say nothing more about her. It's all over. Nothing is worth mentioning."
As they talked, the two arrived at the school convenience store.
After buying some snacks, when Chen Shuo went to check out to leave, he saw some very fresh apples at the convenience store entrance that gave off a natural sweet scent even from afar.
Without thinking, he picked up the shopping bag, ready to buy apples.
But after putting several apples in the bag, Chen Shuo stopped abruptly.
He didn't even like eating apples...
After living together with Su Xiyan, because Su Xiyan liked eating apples, every time Chen Shuo saw fresh apples, he would buy some to take home.
It turned out that this habit was deeply ingrained.
Dropping the bag, Chen Shuo left the convenience store carrying the snacks he had bought. It seemed he wanted to leave the scent of apples behind in his mind, but his body also appeared to have picked up the lingering fruity scent that couldn't be wiped off.
In the evening, it was past nine o'clock.
Zhu Fei was still playing games. Lu Chen's face was filled with the happiness of an otaku talking on the phone with his online girlfriend, while Shen Xu was curled up in bed doing who-knows-what.
After washing up, Chen Shuo was going to read for a while before going to bed.
At this moment his phone rang. Turned out it was a call from Su Xiyan:
"Chen Shuo, my door's electronic lock is broken and I'm locked out of the house. I can't get back home. I didn't bring my ID card and my phone is also about to run out of battery!"
"What should I do? Please come over and help me, okay?"
