Chapter 41
Seeing that Ruan Nianxi's tone was still a bit serious, Xie Shu finally simplified the message just now: [At eight o'clock tonight, let's go to the back street for dinner together. Are you free? 】
The place he was talking about was a street behind their school, so it was called a "back street" by them. Because it was close to the school, most of the shops on that street were snack bars and restaurants, and small stalls were also set up at the street entrance. To the end of the street.
Usually when their friends have dinner parties or whatever, they like to go to the backstreets to eat.
In the past, he also liked to go to the back streets to buy Su Qianyi her favorite snacks...
At the same time, Ruan Nianxi was there.
After seeing the latest message Xie Shu sent her, she stared at the screen and confirmed it repeatedly.
After confirming that she was invited, she asked cautiously: "Is there anyone else?" 】
If there were, she wouldn't go.
She didn't want to meet Su Qianyi.
Last night, Uncle Zhang told her about Xie Shu and Su Qianyi at the social event that night.
However, nothing special happened at that time...
She originally thought that Xie Shu had turned a blind eye to Su Qianyi several times because they had quarreled and their relationship had deteriorated.
But no.
That didn't happen at the social event that night.
If there was anything wrong, it was that Xie Shu confessed to Su Qianyi again.
He was still as perseverant as before, but the ending was the same as before, nothing special.
So she automatically attributed Xie Shu's kindness to her in the past few days to "being polite when meeting friends."
As for why Xie Shu turned a blind eye to Su Qianyi...she didn't know, but she felt that this situation might disappear in a few days.
After all, Xie Shu liked Su Qianyi so much that he didn’t even want her for her in high school...
Xie Shu: [No, just the two of us. 】
A few words instantly brought Ruan Nianxi's pessimistic mood back to the normal range.
Xie Shu: [If you don’t have time, forget it. 】
Ruan Nianxi: [Yes! I am still a little far away from the school, and it will probably take a while to get there by car. 】
Xie Shu: [It’s okay. I’m still on my way back. There’s no rush. It doesn’t matter if it’s a little later. 】
Ruan Nianxi: [Okay! 】
So the itinerary for the two of them was decided for the evening.
After the chat ended, Ruan Nianxi immediately stood up from his seat, took his bag and was about to leave.
But he was stopped by someone.
"Xiao Xi, why don't you go back together? It's going to end soon for me."
Ruan Nianxi stopped, turned around, and her eyes fell on a lady sitting in the seat over there, her expression unchanged: "Mom, I will go back to school tonight."
Ruan Nianxi usually lives in the school dormitory during the week, and during weekends and holidays, she lives at home.
After all, sometimes she has to go to the company to learn how to deal with things. If she lives at home, she doesn't have to travel too far.
According to past practice, she should go home to live tonight, and her mother happened to have no social activities or other things tonight. They had already agreed to go home for dinner together.
The lady looked at Ruan Nianxi in puzzlement: "You have to come to the company tomorrow. If you go back to school, you have to go back and forth. It's still so far. Isn't it troublesome? It's a waste of time."
"I can get up early tomorrow."
The noble lady looked at Ruan Nianxi for a long time, and finally said nothing, just nodded: "Whatever you want."
Seeing that her mother didn't ask any questions, Ruan Nianxi immediately turned around and left.
Xie Shu made an appointment with her and she couldn't be late!
After Ruan Nianxi left, the lady slowly closed the document in her hand. She kept looking at the direction Ruan Nianxi left, thoughtfully.
She still knows about her daughter's condition. She has refused to make friends no matter what since she was a child.
In her heart, the only friend was the child Xie Shu.
Even their parents couldn't open their hearts to them because of lack of companionship. This was also their regret as parents.
Although she and Xie Shu had not had much interaction in the past few years, they both knew that she had always cared about Xie Shu.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to go to this university in the first place.
It can be said that until now, the only person who can really make her care is Xie Shu.
Even they had to queue behind Xie Shu.
If they hadn't insisted on letting Xiao Xi socialize, it would be really hard for her to imagine that it would be difficult for her to even communicate with others in the future.
But even so, her socializing at school was just to complete the "social tasks" they gave her.
In other words, she didn't care at all about her friends who were in the same class as her at school.
So why did she go back to school to stay tonight?
To go back and play with her friends in her dormitory?
She thought it was impossible.
If she had to say who she was doing it for, she could only think of Xie Shu.
Although Xiao Xi has always said that she has never met Xie Shu at school in the past three years, they are in the same school after all, so they still have a chance to bump into each other.
Thinking of Xie Shu, the lady sighed deeply.
Sometimes it's really fate that plays a trick on people, and they don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse.
"Secretary Lin, follow Xiao Xi to see if she is going to meet Xie Shu tonight." The lady said to a female secretary next to her.
Secretary Lin nodded when he heard this, and then followed Ruan Nianxi out.
......
On the way back to school, Xie Shu bought his traitor what he wanted to eat outside the school, then brought it to him downstairs in the dormitory, and then rushed towards the back door of the school.
He and Ruan Nianxi made an appointment to meet at the back door, which leads to the back street.
When he arrived at the back door, he found Ruan Nianxi already waiting at the door, and he quickly walked over a few steps faster.
"It didn't take long. I just went back to the dormitory to deliver food to my roommate, so I was delayed for a few minutes."
Hearing Xie Shu's voice coming from behind, Ruan Nianxi turned around. After hearing what he said, she frowned:
"I saw that you had a good relationship with your roommate before. Why would they threaten you to bring him food?"
Thanks: "..."
She really doesn’t surf the Internet, right?
Xie Shu coughed lightly: "I was joking with you before, so don't worry about that. Let's go to the back streets first."
Ruan Nianxi looked at Xie Shu several times with a strange expression, making sure that he was not trying to deal with her before reluctantly believing her.
There are many people coming and going in the back streets, men and women walking in groups, and there are many lovers holding hands on the street.
Xie Shu and Ruan Nianxi walked among the crowd. They walked side by side like this. They didn't act too intimate, but they didn't seem too unfamiliar either.
Because she knew Ruan Nianxi was a boring gourd, Xie Shu took the initiative to find the topic along the way, and then she agreed.
It was a normal scene at first, but it was seen by several female classmates of Xie Shu on the way.
