"I was even the last one in our major to finish writing my graduation thesis, and I only showed the first draft to Teacher Liu today."

"So you don't have to feel unwilling or anything. With your conditions, there are many better options than me."

"Are you right?"

His gaze shifted from the street light outside the window to Zhou Yan. Lu Chen's expression was very serious and his words were sincere.

As mentioned before, even though Zhou Yan might have secretly said bad things about him, he still felt that there was no deep hatred between the two of them.

At this moment, Zhou Yan also turned her head, held the window frame with both hands, looked at him for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.

It wasn't a laugh, more like a regretful laugh.

"Lu Chen, I do regret it a little, but the reason for my regret is not entirely because you have become outstanding."

"Yes, I hope my boyfriend is a motivated person, and I hope we can work together to have a better life."

“But this is not my only standard.”

"You know, actually in my sophomore year..."

Having said this, Zhou Yan suddenly paused and lowered her head as if a little embarrassed.

But after a moment, she raised her head again, looked into Lu Chen's eyes, and continued with a smile:

"In fact, I was about to agree to you when we were sophomores."

"But on the day I made up my mind, you suddenly stopped talking to me."

"Do you remember? Later, I took the initiative to sit next to you in class and wanted to ask you if you still liked me, but you left before I could even open my mouth."

"I was a little angry at that time, thinking that if you ignored me, I would ignore you, so..."

"Anyway, now that I think about it, it's a pity. Gao Jiayi and the others used to laugh at us for a while."

"You say I'm arrogant. What era is this? I still have to pretend to be reserved when I meet a boy I like."

"I say you are pitiful. You were so close to success, but you gave up at the last moment."

"It's just a little bit off, maybe we are just not meant to be together..."

Zhou Yan shook her head gently, there was still some regret in her eyes, but also some relief.

It was dim outside the window at night, and the sound of a train whistle could be heard from the road, seemingly far away and near.

Maybe that's just how some things are.

It's like a cloud piling up in my heart, which I can't express myself clearly and I can't accept.

But once it is said, even if it cannot change anything, this cloud can be blown away by the wind of time.

Therefore, at this moment, Zhou Yan was probably really relieved.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that there was such a "truth" that he didn't know.

Huh? So this is what Gao Jiayi meant by "pitiful"?

Zhou Yan not only did not secretly say bad things about her behind her back, but...

No, this is too much of an idol drama, right?

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Lu Chen never expected that such a classic melodramatic scene would happen to him.

But he soon regained his composure.

The world is so big and there are so many people, nothing is new when it happens.

I even gained super powers out of nowhere, isn't that even more outrageous?

So just like Zhou Yan said, maybe we are just not destined to be together.

"Okay, now that we've talked about it, let's go back?"

Putting his hands in his trouser pockets, Lu Chen smiled and said, "If we don't go back, they will probably think we fell into the toilet."

"Ah."

Zhou Yan also smiled, and her smile showed genuine relief.

Perhaps the knot in her heart had been untied, and she was finally able to get along with Lu Chen as a friend. As they walked, she suddenly joked:

"Lu Chen, aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will be jealous when you bring Lu Shuyu here today?"

"she does not know."

Lu Chen smiled slightly, not trying to hide his scumbag behavior: "How stupid must I be to tell her such a thing."

"Tsk, scumbag, luckily I didn't agree to you then."

Zhou Yan made a slightly exaggerated "tsk" sound, and was very frank: "By the way, I met her in the community at noon today, and even talked to her."

Lu Chen didn't care: "Really? What did you talk about?"

"What can we talk about? I didn't know she couldn't talk."

Zhou Yan glared at Lu Chen, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly:

"Lu Chen, I don't know what you think, but since you have chosen her, you must treat her well."

"People with disabilities are usually very sensitive and fragile. When I was a child, I had a friend who was also deaf-mute. He never..."

Zhou Yan kept muttering to herself, trying to persuade Lu Chen to treat Qin Wanqing well and not do anything to hurt the latter, so as not to cause devastating damage to Comrade Qin's fragile heart.

Lu Chen's expression was extremely confused at first, but then he became surprised little by little.

His steps paused, and at a certain moment, his eyes suddenly widened and he froze in place.

"So, you must be... huh? What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Yan noticed that he suddenly stopped leaving and turned around with a puzzled look on her face.

But Lu Chen did not answer. He just stood there like a stone sculpture. Then, in Zhou Yan's confused gaze, he suddenly took a step forward and ran towards the stairs at the other end of the corridor without looking back.

"..."

The wind blowing past him made his long hair sway. Zhou Yan stared at his back blankly, and it took her several seconds to react.

"Lu Chen!!!"

"What are you going to do?!"

Chapter 71 Rainy Night (Part )

"What's wrong?"

"Yan Yan, what are you shouting for? What happened to Lu Chen?"

"What about others?"

Half a minute later, the door of the private room opened, and Wang Tianyu and others who were drinking and chatting in the room all ran out.

Because they were drinking and chatting, except for Lu Shuyu, no one else noticed that Lu Chen and Zhou Yan had been away for a long time.

But they could hear the latter's voice clearly.

Looking at Zhou Yan who looked confused, everyone's expressions became anxious, wondering what had happened to Lu Chen.

Especially Lu Shuyu, who was extremely anxious.

"What happened to Lu Chen!"

She squeezed in front of Zhou Yan and asked in a hurried, almost commanding tone: "Where did he go!"

"he......"

Zhou Yan finally came to her senses at this time and stared blankly at the stairs in the distance.

"I don't know either...We were talking and he suddenly ran away without saying a word."

"Ran?"

Wang Tianyu was confused: "What did you just say?"

Zhou Yan's eyes dodged: "It's nothing."

"What happened at home?"

Wang Tianyu glanced at the waiter who was looking over here and suggested, "Go back to the room first. I'll give him a call and ask."

"Yes, yes, it's all clear after a phone call."

"I guess it's nothing serious."

Sun Chao and the others nodded and turned back to the private room. Only Lu Shuyu bit her lip and ran to the window in the corridor, sticking her head out to look out.

After searching for a long time without seeing Lu Chen, she suddenly heard Wang Tianyu in the private room seem to have made a phone call, so she immediately ran over.

"Fuck, if you have something to do, then you have something to do. Why would you just leave without telling me?"

"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal... Okay, that's fine..."

"...By the way, you forgot to take your bag. Can I hold it for you first?"

"Hmm? Wait a minute... Oh, Zhou Yan said she lives in the same neighborhood as you, and she will help you take it back..."

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your own thing... uh..."

Suddenly, Wang Tianyu's voice paused.

Looking at Lu Shuyu with his arms stretched out in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, then tentatively handed over the phone.

The young rich woman took the phone without saying a word and asked in full view of everyone:

"Lu Chen, where have you been?"

"Uh, I'm home..."

There was a "bang" sound from the other end of the phone. Lu Chen must have just gotten in the car.

"Did something happen?"

Lu Shuyu spoke quickly: "Do you need my help?"

"No, it's just a small matter."

"Really? You're not lying to me."
