Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1492 An Accidental Encounter with an Ex-Girlfriend

During the time when Xu Xiuwen and Chu Dai were deeply in love, his best friend spoke ill of him to Chu Dai.

However, Chu Dai, who was in the throes of a high, naturally didn't believe it.

She also told Xu Xiuwen what the other party had said.

Later, Xu Xiuwen dumped Chu Dai.

Upon learning this, the other party immediately spread the news throughout the department, causing Chu Dai to lose face and become utterly humiliated.

In Xu Xiuwen's view, this girl was a classic example of a manipulative, scheming best friend, and one with rather low-level tactics.

Although he didn't care, the other person was now by Chu Dai's side.

Who knows if she might suddenly sell Chu Dai to someone one day?

It seems he needs to remind Chu Dai.

Chu Dai passed by Xu Xiuwen, but since Xiao Youran was sitting opposite him, he pretended not to know her.

However, the girl recognized him first.

Chu Dai was chatting with her best friend while holding her plate.

She caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of her eye.

At first she didn’t pay attention, but a few seconds later she suddenly realized.

Chu Dai stopped instantly.

She turned and looked behind her.

She only saw Xu Xiuwen's profile and back, and couldn't see his face clearly, but his figure and temperament were very similar to the one in her memory.

Chu Dai hesitated.

Her best friend, noticing her suddenly stop, asked in confusion, "Chu Dai, why are you not moving?"

Chu Dai did not answer her.

After much hesitation, she decided she couldn't miss this opportunity.

Chu Dai stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, are you that senior?"

Xu Xiuwen's heart tightened the moment he heard Chu Dai's voice.

Chu Dai still recognized her.

The key point is that the girl actually took the initiative to talk to him?

Isn't this harming him?

Xu Xiuwen immediately lowered his head and deliberately feigned a hoarse voice, saying, "No, you've mistaken me for someone else."

So much time has passed that Chu Dai can no longer remember Xu Xiuwen's voice.

Moreover, it was a voice he deliberately disguised.

However, Chu Dai already knew the answer from Xu Xiuwen's reaction.

In this situation, the most likely course of action for a normal person would be to first turn and glance at the person approaching before saying "I apologize."

But Xu Xiuwen never looked up once.

This precisely demonstrates his guilty conscience.

Chu Dai is very smart.

She instantly guessed the truth.

That's because Xu Xiuwen had already noticed her when she walked over.

Therefore, Xu Xiuwen knew who she was without even looking up.

Xu Xiuwen's strange reaction illustrates another point.

That means he must recognize himself.

Since that separation, Chu Dai has racked her brains but still can't figure out who he is.
She even went through all the photo albums of her elementary, middle, and high school classmates.

She had considered the possibility that Xu Xiuwen might be one of her secret admirers, but she quickly dismissed the idea.

If he really is her secret admirer, he will eventually slip up.

But in fact, it doesn't!
Since that day they parted, Xu Xiuwen has completely disappeared from her world. She has never seen him again until today!
Xu Xiuwen's words that day helped Chu Dai a lot.

She was determined to find Xu Xiuwen in person to thank him and find out who he really was.

Therefore, she insisted on eating at the cafeteria, and only at that one cafeteria.

She did this in order to run into Xu Xiuwen.

Back to the topic.

Xiao Youran looked up and glanced at Chu Dai.

She had long forgotten about this girl.

However, after noticing the girl's appearance, she immediately cast a questioning look at Xu Xiuwen.

Could it be that Xiao Xu has been flirting with other girls behind her back again, and now they've come looking for him?
Xu Xiuwen looked up and glanced at Xiao Youran's reaction.

The latter's expression was serious, which was clearly a sign of anger.

Xu Xiuwen secretly groaned inwardly.

He blamed everything on Chu Dai.

He remembered that Chu Dai was a well-behaved girl who would never talk to strange boys outside. Why was she taking the initiative to talk to him now?
Is this still the Chu Dai he knows?

Chu Dai was unaware of Xu Xiuwen's thoughts; otherwise, she might have been speechless.

Xiao Youran couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xu, aren't you going to explain?"

Xu Xiuwen could no longer remain silent.

He had no choice but to explain, "Youran, would you believe me if I said I don't know her?"

Xiao Youran scoffed.

They've already come looking for her, and Xiao Xu still claims she doesn't know them. Does she really think she's a fool?
Xiao Youran did not continue to question Xu Xiuwen.

Because she knew that continuing to ask wouldn't get her the answer she wanted.

Xiao Youran turned to look at Chu Dai and asked, "Do you know my boyfriend?"

She deliberately emphasized the words "boyfriend".

Her purpose in doing this was to remind the girl in front of her to be clear about her place.

Chu Dai's expression stiffened slightly after hearing Xiao Youran's words.

He was definitely not the one she had a crush on!
Even though she already knew the answer, Chu Dai was still a little disappointed.

Now that she knew Xu Xiuwen had a girlfriend, Chu Dai gave up some of her ideas.

She looked at Xiao Youran and said, "Hello, I don't know your boyfriend!"

In Xiao Youran's view, Chu Dai's words were an attempt to distance herself from the situation and prevent Xiao Youran from finding out about their relationship.

This only deepened Xiao Youran's suspicions.

"If you don't know my boyfriend, then why are you looking for him?"

Chu Dai hesitated for a moment, then said, "A senior student helped me with a small favor before, but I didn't have a chance to thank him. I just happened to run into him today, but I'm not sure if it's him..."

Chu Dai's words were well-organized and did not sound like a lie.

Xiao Youran was stunned.

Could it be that she really misunderstood Xiao Xu?
Xiao Youran looked at Xu Xiuwen, hoping he would explain.

Xu Xiuwen naturally wouldn't admit that he was that senior.

It wasn't that he intentionally hid it from Xiao Youran.

However, once he admits that he is that senior, he must explain the whole story.

Then Xiao Youran will ask him a series of questions, such as how he knows Chu Dai, why he warned Chu Dai to be careful of Zhou Sheng, the scumbag in the music club, and how he knew that Zhou Sheng was pursuing Guo Shasha.

The best course of action is, of course, to deny it outright.

As long as he doesn't admit it, Chu Dai can't do anything about it.

Could she possibly find the surveillance footage from that time?

Jiaotong University's cafeteria has CCTV footage, but campus CCTV footage is generally retained for 30 days.

Almost a year has passed since he last spoke to Chu Dai.

The video recording has long been deleted and overwritten.

Xiao Youran asked, "Xiao Xu, is what she said true?"

Xu Xiuwen shook his head and then nodded.

This completely baffled Xiao Youran and Chu Dai.

Including Duan Ling behind Chu Dai.

Xiao Youran pressed, "What exactly happened?"

Xu Xiuwen turned to look at Chu Dai, then pulled down his mask and said, "Look carefully, the person you're looking for isn't me. I don't know you either! You've mistaken me for someone else!"

Xu Xiuwen's actions were unnecessary.

Chu Dai wasn't entirely sure if Xu Xiuwen was the same person she remembered.

But after seeing his face, she became certain.

Because Xu Xiuwen's face is not only handsome, but also highly recognizable.

Chu Dai recognized him at a glance as the senior who had warned her before.

As for why Xu Xiuwen didn't admit it, Guo Shasha immediately figured out the reason.

That is, he was worried that his girlfriend would misunderstand.

After figuring this out, Chu Dai followed Xu Xiuwen's words and said, "Yes, you don't seem to be the person I'm looking for."

Hearing Chu Dai's words, Xiao Youran breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the two don't know each other, it seems she misunderstood!

Xiao Youran immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xu, I shouldn't have disbelieved you."

Xu Xiuwen magnanimously said it was nothing. Duan Ling, who was behind Chu Dai, walked up behind Chu Dai and asked in a low voice, "Chu Dai, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Chu Dai glanced at Xu Xiuwen, then nodded and said, "There shouldn't be any mistake."

Xu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Logically, since Chu Dai knew she had mistaken the person for someone else, she should have left and stopped disturbing their meal.

However, in reality, Chu Dai did not leave immediately.

in contrast.

She stared at Xiao Youran for a while, then suddenly asked, "Are you senior Xiao Youran?"

Xiao Youran raised an eyebrow and asked, "You know me?"

Chu Dai nodded and said, "I've participated in student council activities before and saw you once from afar."

Xiao Youran suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

She nodded in acknowledgment, "It was indeed me."

Chu Dai said, "Senior, I heard you're the student council president now, you're amazing..."

Chu Dai didn't leave; instead, she stayed and tried to get closer to him.

Although Xiao Youran was puzzled, the other party was praising her, so she did not immediately send them away.

Xiao Youran smiled faintly and said, "Just lucky."

Chu Dai nodded, then mustered her courage and asked, "Senior, can I have your phone number?"

Xiao Youran frowned. "Why do you want my phone number?"

Chu Dai explained, "Someone as outstanding as you, senior, everyone would want to be your friend..."

Her words pleased Xiao Youran.

Xiao Youran first said modestly, "It's alright, it's alright, I'm not as outstanding as you say."

Then he added, "Making friends wouldn't be a problem..."

Chu Dai was afraid that Xiao Youran would change her mind, so she quickly took out her phone and said, "Senior, could you please give me your number? I'll write it down!"

"Ok."

Xiao Youran then gave her her phone number.

Chu Dai saved the number into her phone.

After getting Xiao Youran's number, Chu Dai felt relieved.

Although Xu Xiuwen doesn't admit that he is who he is, as long as she has Xiao Youran's number, she will still have a chance to see Xu Xiuwen.

It's not too late to ask in person later.

She didn't ask Xu Xiuwen for his number directly because she was worried that he would refuse because of Xiao Youran's presence.

But if you ask Xiao Youran for her number, the success rate will be much higher.

As mentioned earlier, Chu Dai is very clever.

After obtaining Xiao Youran's number, Chu Dai planned to leave.

Xiao Youran felt a little embarrassed instead.

She suggested that they stay and eat there.

Chu Dai readily agreed.

At this moment, Xiao Youran felt a little regretful, but it was too late.

So the four of them inexplicably started sharing a table.

It is worth mentioning that.

Xu Xiuwen and Xiao Youran sat facing each other.

Chu Dai did not sit next to Xu Xiuwen, but instead took the initiative to sit next to Xiao Youran.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Youran immediately showed a satisfied expression.

If Chu Dai sat directly next to Xu Xiuwen, she would suspect that Chu Dai's approach to him was for ulterior motives.

However, Chu Dai was very sensible.

As for Chu Dai's friend, Duan Ling.

Xiao Youran glanced at it and put her worries aside.

Girls with that kind of looks probably wouldn't catch Xu Xiuwen's eye.

This is not to say that Duan Ling is ugly.

In fact, Duan Ling wasn't ugly at all. With makeup, she was a beauty of class beauty caliber.

But only if you're wearing makeup.

Xiao Youran knew very well that Xu Xiuwen disliked people wearing makeup.

Especially this kind of heavy makeup!
After Chu Dai sat down, she immediately introduced Duan Ling to Xiao Youran.

She said, "Senior You Ran, this is my friend Duan Ling. She's in the same year as me."

Duan Ling was also very sensible, and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, senior!"

Xiao Youran nodded to Duan Ling and then said, "Let's eat."

The other three naturally wouldn't object.

During the meal, none of the four spoke.

Until Xiao Youran broke the silence.

She took the initiative to ask Chu Dai a few questions.

Chu Dai answered them one by one.

During this process, Duan Ling was observing Xu Xiuwen.

As Chu Dai's best friend, she naturally knew that her good friend was looking for a man.

Judging from Chu Dai's unusual reaction today, the person she is looking for is the man in front of her.

However, the other party already had a girlfriend, who was also the president of the student union at Jiaotong University.

Even setting aside her identity, Xiao Youran's looks, figure, and temperament are all top-notch.

Although Chu Dai is also good-looking, she is still not as good-looking as Xiao Youran.

As for Duan Ling, she wished she could replace her.

She had previously been quite pleased with her appearance after makeup.

It wasn't until she met Xiao Youran in person and witnessed the true face of this legendary campus beauty from Jiaotong University that she realized how big the gap was between herself and Xiao Youran.

The difference in appearance between Xiao Youran and her is even greater than the difference in appearance between her and Chu Dai!
However, these are not the main points.

The focus is on the man next to her.

Duan Ling vaguely felt that the other person looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

That's not even the point.

The key is that he's too handsome.

Duan Ling has never met such a handsome man in real life!

This is too tempting!

If Xu Xiuwen knew that one day he would be considered attractive by girls, he would be both amused and exasperated.

Judging from Chu Dai's reaction, Duan Ling guessed that the latter might be planning to poach her boyfriend.

If so, she's quite supportive.

As for how Xiao Youran felt about having her boyfriend poached.

Excuse me!
She's not familiar with her!
Duan Ling had another shameful thought in her mind, but she wouldn't say it out loud, much less dare to.

Soon, the four of them finished their lunch.

Chu Dai knew it was time for her to leave, so she took the initiative to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Chu Dai didn't even glance at Xu Xiuwen.

Duan Ling, on the contrary, couldn't help but take a second look.

After the two women left, Xiao Youran stared at Xu Xiuwen and asked, "Was it pretty?"

"What?" Xu Xiuwen feigned ignorance.

Of course he knew that Xiao Youran was asking him if Chu Dai was pretty.
Xiao Youran guessed that Xu Xiuwen might be pretending to be stupid, but she was helpless.

She could only be more direct, "Is Chu Dai pretty?"

No matter how Xu Xiuwen answered, it was wrong.

Because this question is a trap.

Whether he said it looked good or not, it shows that he had secretly looked at Chu Dai.

and so.

Xu Xiuwen stared directly into Xiao Youran's eyes and said, "When you're around, I never see or can't see anyone else, because..."

He deliberately left us in suspense here.

Xiao Youran's interest was indeed piqued.

She asked instinctively, "Why?"

Xu Xiuwen said with a smile, "Because your brilliance is too dazzling!"

Xiao Youran couldn't help but chuckle.

She knew that Xu Xiuwen was deliberately trying to make her happy, but she still couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Youran laughed for a while, then suddenly asked, "So, you really don't know her?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "I don't know him."

Xiao Youran believed it.

She continued, "Chu Dai is a year behind us and is my junior. From our initial interaction, I get the impression that she's a nice person."
