“My mother wants to thank you and will treat you to a meal on a day when everyone is free.”
Although Xiang Wu no longer pestered him like before these days, and her image and temper had also changed greatly, Sheng Chenglin still felt tremendous pressure to approach Xiang Wu under the strange looks of her classmates.
Fortunately, he was not only saying these words to Xiang Wu. Most of the time, he kept his eyes on Su Huaibai, which made him feel less uncomfortable.
“Forget about the meal. Be careful in the future and don’t let others bother you again.”
Su Huaibai glanced at Ah Wu beside him with a sour look.
That little love-brained girl must be extremely happy. He didn’t know whether Xiang Wu’s obsession with Sheng Chenglin would be rekindled because of that meal.
But what does that have to do with him? He and she are just ordinary deskmates.
“Don’t thank me. If anyone else had been in trouble that day, I would have helped.”
Perhaps time can really dilute feelings. At this moment, Ah Wu no longer had the strong throbbing that she had at the beginning when facing Sheng Chenglin’s face. She may still like him, but not to the point of uncontrollable admiration.
She believes that if she is given some more time, she will be able to truly let go of Sheng Chenglin.
Looking back, the love that almost burned her did not leave too many regrets. She had worked hard and fought for this relationship. All her love was expressed to her heart’s content in one confession after another. At least for her, she lived up to the love she once had.
The Xiang Wu of the past was like a ball of fire in the eyes of Xiang Wu now.
Sometimes, she would find herself ridiculous and annoying, but more often, she envied her former self who had such courage and passion to fight for love.
If it were the current self, she would be more concerned about gains and losses and would have more concerns about doing things, and she would not be as willful as before.
“You may think that you are just doing something that should be done, but for me, you may have saved half my life, so please don’t refuse me this time. If you feel it’s a bit awkward to have dinner with adults, why not choose a day for us to get together privately? Whether it’s dinner or barbecue, I’m fine with it.”
Ah Wu’s frank attitude made Sheng Chenglin feel a lot more relaxed. The girl had let it go, while he, a grown man, was always timid about the past, which seemed a bit petty.
Sheng Chenglin had said so much that it would be a bit hypocritical for Ah Wu to refuse again. After thinking about it, she accepted Sheng Chenglin’s invitation.
Su Huaibai watched Ah Wu nod and accept the invitation, and he felt like a thousand jars of jealousy were overturned in his heart. His heart was in turmoil.
“Okay, it’s just a meal. I agree on behalf of Fan Zhong.”
He was not jealous. He was just worried that the little love-brained girl had finally come out of the bitter unrequited love, but because of a meal with a single man and a single woman, she would get herself into trouble again.
That’s it!
Su Huaibai emphasized silently in his heart.
“Hey, Xiao Wu, why did Sheng Chenglin ask you out for dinner? Did he suddenly find that he likes you and wants to pursue you again?”
Tang Ruru turned her head and asked curiously.
She was completely confused by what they had just said. Could it be that Sheng Chenglin was attracted to the now-brilliant Xiang Wu?
Or was it that Sheng Chenglin had actually fallen in love with Xiao Wu a long time ago, but he did not realize it in his heart at that time and only regretted it after Xiao Wu left, so he wanted to win Xiao Wu back?
Tang Ruru had already imagined several big dramas in her mind, but if that was the case, then what was Sheng Chenglin’s reason for inviting Su Huaibai and Fan Zhong, and what about the favor they just mentioned?
Not only was Tang Ruru’s gossipy spirit ready to move, but Xiang Wu and Sheng Chenglin, two former celebrities of No. 1 Middle School, reunited again. What’s unprecedented was that Sheng Chenglin took the initiative to come to the door, which was enough to make these people talk about it for several days.
“You think too much. My current goal is to study hard. What’s more, the relationship between Sheng and I is not what you think. Su Huaibai and I helped him with a small favor, so he treated us to a meal to show his gratitude.”
Ah Wu briefly explained.
Combined with Su Huaibai’s previous leave and the injuries on his and Fan Zhong’s faces, it was speculated that the two classmates who saved Sheng Chenglin when he was taken away by the gangsters that day were undoubtedly Su Huaibai and Fan Zhong.
Then, the injuries on his face should also be left on that day when he saved people.
