Lu Youran: Shocking! My roommate is dating two people at once!
However, after the young girl let out a soft "Ah," she lowered her head.
Her agreement was unspoken yet obvious.
Chi Zerui chuckled with a pang of jealousy in his chest. The next second, Wen Tingxue's gentle voice reached him.
"There is..."
These two words alone brought sunlight into Chi Zerui's world.
"At least you have a conscience."
The young man suppressed his inner elation and teased her playfully.
Wen Tingxue hummed twice and introduced,
"This is my roommate, Lu Youran. This is my friend, Chi Zerui."
"Hello." Chi Zerui extended his hand casually.
His wrist, adorned with a watch, was fair and strong.
Lu Youran wasn't someone who judged solely by looks, but she had to admit.
The silver-haired youth before her exuded an irresistible allure.
Even the simplest action he performed carried a provocative charm.
However, she was a fan of Yu Wenli, so she had to protect Yu Wenli's interests.
No matter how handsome the silver-haired youth was, she had to protect "our sister-in-law"!
"Hello, hello..."
Lu Youran harbored intense hostility towards him, so her tone was listless.
Only after the name Chi Zerui fully registered in her mind did she remember who he was.
Her spirit immediately perked up. "Hello, hello! I'm your fan too!"
She held Chi Zerui's hand, wishing she could pluck off that watch.
Chi Zerui: "?"
Wen Tingxue: "..."
While accompanying Chi Zerui for a walk around the track, Wen Tingxue finally asked him about his hair.
By then, Lu Youran had already left, and they had discussed a variety of scattered topics.
Wen Tingxue felt this was the most opportune moment to ask.
Yet, Chi Zerui remained silent for a long time.
So long that Wen Tingxue thought he wouldn't answer.
Finally, he tilted his head slightly, narrowed his eyes, and gazed at the sun, saying:
"I made a bet with Que You. If I meet someone in university whom I cannot have, I will dye my hair white. Conversely, he will dye his hair white."
Although he knew she wouldn't assume it was about her, he deliberately added "during university."
"Someone you cannot have?" Wen Tingxue stopped in surprise. "You mean there are girls you can't pursue?"
That was utterly unbelievable.
Chi Zerui chuckled and lowered his gaze. "What? In your eyes, can I pursue anyone?"
"Yes!" The young girl nodded without hesitation. "You're so well-qualified, and your personality is very likable to girls."
"As long as you want to pursue them and put in the effort, you'll surely succeed. Don't give up."
She offered comfort, unaware that he didn't lack the desire to pursue, but rather the ability to do so.
He didn't even have the courage to confess.
Chi Zerui smiled bitterly and didn't reply.
Just then, Bian Wei walked over from the opposite direction. "Tingxue, is this... your boyfriend?"
He looked at the perfectly matched pair with a complex expression.
Wen Tingxue immediately cut off the conversation and explained, "No, he's a very, very good friend of mine."
—A very, very good friend.
Chi Zerui turned to look at her, his eyes filled with unspoken affection.
It was good enough.
At least it was better than being strangers.
Bian Wei instantly breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, I see. So... did you receive the things I sent you?"
Although Meng Xiyao had always told him to be patient when pursuing girls,
seeing such a dazzling young man standing beside her, how could he not feel anxious?
So, he declared his intentions regardless of the consequences.
"What I mean is, if you don't like them, I can send you something else."
Wen Tingxue: "??"
