Chapter 644
Old Xue, you've been ruined?
Inside dormitory 622.
Xue Rui tried to tug at the door, but it wouldn't budge. As expected, he was locked inside.
"I asked them to lock it, so don't blame them."
Chen Tingting's voice came from behind, slightly trembling, very close.
Xue Rui didn't dare turn around, afraid that Chen Tingting would throw herself into his arms.
Xue Rui wasn't unaware that a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one; he had done just that long before, the longest he had gone without contacting Chen Tingting was even six months. But this girl was just stubborn.
Each time he rejected her, an invisible scar appeared on her body, but like a moth drawn to a flame, she kept rushing forward...
Suddenly, a pair of slender arms wrapped around her waist, tightening their grip.
Xue Rui simply stood there quietly, feeling the petite figure behind him trembling slightly.
"I...I miss you so much. I like your QQ profile every day, why don't you reply to me? I even asked you an anonymous question, but you didn't reply either. Do you hate me that much...?"
Chen Tingting's voice choked with emotion.
Xue Rui slowly closed his eyes, unsure how to answer.
It's not that he doesn't want to answer, it's that his soul has grown old, and he's completely forgotten what young people of this era are playing...
Xue Rui took a deep breath and thought about what girls hate the most, so he decided to say it.
Girls this age probably hate being lectured the most, right?
Xue Rui said earnestly, "Tingting, you are still young and don't understand what feelings are."
Chen Tingting hugged him tighter and tighter: "I'm not young, I understand everything. You just want to drag this out, to let time heal all wounds, to let me stop caring about this relationship..."
It was said to be a ploy to lure her into giving up, but Chen Tingting wasn't stupid; she knew her mother wanted her to get used to it and gradually give up.
Chen Tingting didn't want to accept it, but she had no choice but to.
During the first month, she endured a lot of hardship, and even sent a message to Xue Rui on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the second month, Chen Tingting began to feel numb, but she still couldn't change some of her habits.
For example, the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to turn on my screen and check my messages.
Before going to bed, I browsed Xue Rui's WeChat Moments and QQ Space.
By the third month, Chen Tingting had become completely numb. Sometimes she would inexplicably take out her phone and swipe around, and sometimes she would even forget what she was supposed to do.
Until Christmas Eve, a classmate selling apples on the roadside asked, "Hey, do you want to buy an apple for your boyfriend?"
In that instant, the empty space in my heart began to ache faintly.
Suppressed emotions won't disappear; they'll just explode at some point.
"What time can't erase, it will only accumulate and grow heavier. This morning, I missed you so much, I couldn't bear it for even a minute, it felt like... I would die if I couldn't see you, so here I am..."
"Xue Rui, I like you, and I will never forget you."
"Whether you like me or not, I like you."
……
Listening to Chen Tingting's monologue, Xue Rui realized one thing: he couldn't escape.
Xue Rui slowly turned around, looked down at Chen Tingting with tears in her eyes, and felt a pang of sadness and tenderness in his heart.
Xue Rui subconsciously reached out his hand, while Chen Tingting slowly closed her eyes.
Xue Rui shook his head speechlessly, pinched his sleeve and dabbed at his tears, gently rubbing his long, curled eyelashes that were stuck together. Then he patted Chen Tingting's head, signaling her to open her eyes.
"I……"
Chen Tingting pouted her red lips and mumbled softly. Xue Rui couldn't hear her, so he simply put his ear closer.
A cool touch came from her cheek, followed by a soft rustling sound. Chen Tingting took a few steps back as if fleeing, hiding behind Xue Rui's computer, her bright eyes timidly looking at Xue Rui.
Xue Rui was "ambushed," and Chen Tingting's bright red ears proved that this was the first time Chen Tingting had done this.
The way he's hiding behind the chair now looks like a child wanting to be chased and played with.
Xue Rui touched his face, his heart pounding wildly...
He was momentarily confused as to whether he had benefited from the situation or suffered a loss...
How can a cabbage be used to eat a pig?
Indeed, the most skilled hunters always appear as prey.
Unfortunately, Chen Tingting was still a young girl, and the immaturity on her face had not yet faded.
Especially when Chen Tingting looked at him, her eyes were always full of joy, admiration and expectation, Xue Rui really couldn't bring himself to dislike her.
"Don't do that again."
Xue Rui's tone was icy; he absolutely could not give a direct response, otherwise it would be a flawed incentive system.
"No way," Chen Tingting said angrily.
"What kind of girl is like you?" Xue Rui scolded.
Chen Tingting's chest heaved, and she abruptly turned her head to the side, saying, "Hmph! Then go ahead and call the police."
"You!" Xue Rui felt a lump in his throat and was speechless for a moment.
"At most I'll get a scolding, but they won't file a case," Chen Tingting muttered softly.
Before Xue Rui could continue, Chen Tingting added, "I'm not afraid even if you call Gu Muxue over."
Xue Rui slumped into a chair, gently rubbing his temples; his head felt like it was about to explode.
Is there a King Fa?Is there any reason?
Is there really no one who can cure her?
He's living a pretty good life right now, but Chen Tingting's forceful intervention will inevitably make things a mess.
"Tingting, someone as fickle as me will hurt you," Xue Rui said earnestly.
Chen Tingting dragged a chair closer to Xue Rui, sat down facing him, and winked at him:
Ignoring me is what hurts me.
“But I have two girlfriends,” Xue Rui reminded him.
“I know, they were immoral first, then I was immoral, you…you can’t use that to accuse me.” Chen Tingting held up one finger. Xue Rui said speechlessly, “What I mean is, I’m a womanizer.”
“So, it doesn’t matter if I’m one more,” Chen Tingting said earnestly.
Xue Rui was speechless. Chen Tingting's mouth was really sharp.
"I like them very much, and I don't want to hurt them..."
Before Xue Rui could continue, tears welled up in Chen Tingting's round eyes again, and she said in a choked voice:
"So...you chose to hurt me?"
Xue Rui turned his head slightly, not daring to look directly into Chen Tingting's pitiful eyes.
Damn, this is so strange.
I didn't do anything, yet I'm being made to look like a heartless man.
So, Xue Rui changed the subject and asked, "Tingting, do you know what 'like' means?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Tingting's eyes glazed over for a moment, then she bit her lip and fell into deep thought.
She stood up, jogged to the balcony, grabbed a paper bag, and poured out a table full of snacks:
"I know, I just miss you and want to give you the best of everything."
Xue Rui looked at the table full of snacks and found it inexplicably funny.
Chen Tingting is like a child; regardless of whether she likes it or not, she gives herself everything she considers the best.
Xue Rui took a deep breath and slowly shook his head, saying, "I'm way past the age of eating snacks."
Chen Tingting frowned and said, "That's not what I meant. If you like them, then I'll give them to you without ruining your relationship."
Xue Rui's eyes twitched. Chen Tingting's shamelessness was truly unprecedented.
The way she said that... made it sound like Lin Ruoxi and Gu Muxue were gifts from Chen Tingting herself.
Chen Tingting bit her lip; she had figured it out.
She wasn't as rich as Gu Muxue, nor as smart as Lin Ruoxi.
Aside from being generous, she doesn't seem to have any other redeeming qualities.
If we follow the order, then she's the mistress...
"I want to make it clear beforehand that I am not a mistress."
Chen Tingting held up one finger, her tone very serious.
Xue Rui didn't want to waste any more words. Whether he refused or not, Chen Tingting was making the decision for him unilaterally.
Seeing that Xue Rui was ignoring her, Chen Tingting handed him the apple that Xue Rui had taken a bite out of: "Eat the apple."
Xue Rui looked at the apple that had been bitten; the flesh had oxidized in the air and was now a yellowish-brown color.
Chen Tingting noticed it too. She stared at the spot where Xue Rui had bitten, hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes and bit down.
Xue Rui sighed deeply; this girl was really going all out.
Despite having severe mysophobia, he still eats things that he has bitten.
Xue Rui took the apple: "I'll eat it, okay?"
"So you agree?" Chen Tingting's eyes were full of joy.
Xue Rui turned his head, took out his phone, and started contacting the bastards who betrayed him.
"Have you thought about me these past few months?" Chen Tingting tugged at Xue Rui's sleeve, carefully observing his reaction.
"No," Xue Rui denied immediately.
Does it exist or not?
Chen Tingting got angry and stood up to move closer to Xue Rui.
"Okay, okay, alright?" Xue Rui hurriedly begged for mercy.
Hehe~
Chen Tingting sat back down contentedly, propped her chin on her hand, and quietly watched Xue Rui.
It was during class time, and the hallway was quiet. Xue Rui could even hear Chen Tingting's soft breathing.
While playing on his phone, Xue Rui would steal glances at Chen Tingting every now and then, and each time their eyes would meet.
Xue Rui smiled almost imperceptibly, thinking that Chen Tingting was quite easy to coax.
As long as you go along with Chen Tingting, she can actually sit quietly and behave obediently.
Just don't do the opposite of Chen Tingting, or you'll turn into a female hooligan in a second.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the door lock rattling came from outside.
Xue Rui knew that his roommate had removed the lock.
Chen Tingting took a deep breath, her eyes filled with reluctance, but she knew she had to go.
Don't push Xue Rui too hard, or he'll really start to hate you.
"Remember to eat the snacks. I'll come visit you again in a few days when I don't have classes."
Chen Tingting slung her little schoolbag over her shoulder and glanced at Xue Rui with reluctance.
"Don't come to my dorm. Xixi comes here sometimes too," Xue Rui instinctively warned.
Chen Tingting quietly circled behind Xue Rui, then rested her head on his shoulder and whispered in his ear:
"Then you choose a place, and we'll have a secret rendezvous."
Before Xue Rui could react, Chen Tingting ruffled his hair and then slipped out through the crack in the door like an eel.
Accompanying this was the sound of conversation coming through the crack in the door:
"Thank you, seniors. Goodbye, seniors."
"Hey junior, don't forget to send me your QQ number!"
With a creak, Zhao Chaojie pushed open the door. Looking at Xue Rui's dejected figure and messy hair, he swallowed hard and said cautiously:
"Old Xue, you've been violated?" (End of Chapter)
