Even if she hadn't received the invitation text message, she was helping the Department of Plumbing organize a party, so it was impossible for her not to be welcome to go for a meal.
She said this on purpose, just to see what Xu Xiuwen would say.
Xu Xiuwen didn't realize that there was something else behind her words.
He said, "What's inappropriate? If it weren't for your help, would the party have been held so smoothly? I don't think anyone would dare to say no."
Cheng Lu was a little disappointed that he didn't hear what he wanted to hear.
She stood up, turned around and walked towards the south gate of Jiaotong University without saying a word.
Xu Xiuwen followed behind her without saying anything.
When they arrived at the restaurant Dong Jun notified them and entered the private room, everyone was there except him and Cheng Lu.
All the male students of the Software Information Department, the class monitors, the Youth League branch secretaries, the cultural and arts committee members, the directors and secretaries of the Cultural and Arts Department of the other three classes of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, more than 30 people, sat at two tables.
After Xu Xiuwen and Cheng Lu arrived, Xu Xiuwen was pulled by Dong Jun to sit in the main seat.
Xu Xiuwen was sitting in the main seat, with Cheng Lu and Ning Rong next to him.
As soon as he sat down, Dong Jun asked Cheng Lu, "Cheng Lu, why did you come here with Xu Xiuwen? You two won't be together this afternoon, right?"
As he spoke, he kept looking at Xu Xiuwen with a sly smile on his face.
The others started laughing too.
Xu Xiuwen subconsciously glanced at Cheng Lu, curious about how she would answer.
Cheng Lu said expressionlessly: "We just happened to meet on the road."
Chapter 192 Confirming the Relationship (Part 2)
Dong Jun didn't believe it completely. He smiled and turned to ask Xu Xiuwen: "Xiuwen, tell me the truth. Did you go to Jiaotong University to see Cheng Lu this afternoon?"
Xu Xiuwen noticed that his roommates and the girls were all looking at this side.
If he gave a bad answer and the news got to Tang Weiwei, it would be difficult to explain.
But before he could say anything, Cheng Lu helped him out, or it couldn't be considered a help.
Cheng Lu said: "How could a coward like him dare to come to Jiaotong University to find me?"
Xu Xiuwen could tell that Cheng Lu was mocking him for not daring to speak before.
The others in the box laughed.
Only Xu Xiuwen was speechless.
There were more than 30 people, and they kept drinking until around 8 o'clock in the evening before they dispersed.
Xu Xiuwen estimated that tonight's meal would not be cheap.
However, the person who treated the guests was Dong Jun, and Dong Jun didn't complain that it was too expensive, so no one said anything.
After coming out of the restaurant, everyone went their separate ways.
Everyone in 412 was eager to go back to the dormitory.
Xu Xiuwen asked his roommates to go back first, and he found an excuse to go to the bathroom and lingered for a while.
When he came out, most people had left.
He was worried that Cheng Lu had also left, so he hurriedly looked for Cheng Lu, but couldn't find her after searching for a long time.
Suddenly a voice sounded from behind, "What are you looking for? I'm here."
Xu Xiuwen turned around and saw Cheng Lu standing quietly under a big tree by the road.
The evening breeze blew, lifting her long hair. She had to use her hands to smooth the hair that was floating on her face. Her pretty face was vaguely visible under the cover of a small amount of hair, so beautiful that it was hard to look away.
Xu Xiuwen walked over quickly and said to her, "Shall we walk along the road for a while?"
Cheng Lu rolled his eyes at him and asked, "After drinking, do you have the courage to speak?"
Xu Xiuwen smiled faintly and did not explain.
The two of them walked along the road, heading east.
It's already January and the weather in Jinling is getting cold.
The evening breeze makes one shrink involuntarily.
This feeling is not pleasant at all.
But Cheng Lu said nothing and just walked quietly with Xu Xiuwen.
Neither of them spoke.
Xu Xiuwen secretly glanced at Cheng Lu out of the corner of his eye.
Her long, smooth hair was ruffled by the evening breeze. She was about 1.7 meters tall, with a straight body, graceful and elegant, and had an excellent temperament.
Cheng Lu seemed to suddenly notice something and turned to look at him.
Their eyes just happened to meet.
Cheng Lu laughed all of a sudden, "Silly, why are you peeking? Who told you not to look openly?"
Xu Xiuwen didn't say anything.
Cheng Lu knew that she looked very good now, because of the clothes she carefully selected, how could she not look good
She deliberately asked, "Do you still think I look like the Black Mountain witch?"
Xu Xiuwen was stunned, not understanding what she meant, but immediately remembered the first time they blocked the morning exercise schedule. Yang Baishan had cursed her with this sentence behind her back, and she happened to hear it.
Xu Xiuwen cursed Yang Baishan inwardly, thinking that he would cause trouble for me.
He played dumb, "What Black Mountain witch?"
Cheng Lu saw through his pretending to be stupid at a glance and didn't bother with him.
Since the morning exercise card incident was mentioned, Xu Xiuwen asked, "Since you know me, even though I spoke so humbly, you are still unwilling to return the morning exercise card to us. Do you really plan to hand it over?"
Cheng Lu explained calmly, "I had no intention of collecting the morning exercise card. I asked Yang Baishan why he stamped it for others, but he felt guilty and couldn't explain clearly. It seemed like he was doing it knowingly. So of course I wouldn't return the morning exercise card to him."
She paused and glanced at Xu Xiuwen. "As for you, who told you to get drunk? Don't drink so much in the future, understand?"
Xu Xiuwen was delighted when he heard this. Cheng Lu's tone was exactly like that of a girlfriend.
Did she like him at that time
Xu Xiuwen immediately asked: "Why do you care whether I was drunk or not? Did you like me at that time?"
Cheng Lu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't be so self-indulgent. I just don't like people getting drunk. How drunk were you the night before last? Isn't that embarrassing?"
The night before that morning, there happened to be a dinner party after the school party.
Xu Xiuwen had always thought that Cheng Lu did not attend the dinner, but now after hearing her say this, he realized that she had also been there.
Xu Xiuwen chuckled.
When Cheng Lu heard his laughter, he suddenly glared at him and asked, "What else can you do besides giggling?"
"hehe… "
They walked slowly along the road for a while and came to the intersection. The red light came on and they began to wait for the red light.
Xu Xiuwen's attention was focused on the traffic lights.
Cheng Lu suddenly asked quietly: "What about you this afternoon..."
After a pause, he asked, "What do you want to say?"
When Xu Xiuwen heard her words, his face turned red and his heart started beating wildly.
He felt like his heart was about to beat out of his chest.
Xu Xiuwen didn't say anything. His eyes were fixed on the traffic light. He made up his mind: when the green light comes on, he must take action!
The number of seconds on the red light decreases second by second.
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3…
Time is running out and the green light is about to come on.
Xu Xiuwen made up his mind and reached out to grab her hand that fell by his side.
Cheng Lu's hand struggled slightly but failed to break free, and soon calmed down in Xu Xiuwen's palm.
Feeling that Cheng Lu's hand had calmed down, Xu Xiuwen was so overjoyed that he almost roared with excitement.
After the excitement, Xu Xiuwen was briefly absent-minded.
He held Cheng Lu's hand and walked slowly along the zebra crossing.
After crossing the zebra crossing, Cheng Lu suddenly said to him, "Silly boy, can you let go of my hand and hold it again later?"
Xu Xiuwen came back to his senses when he heard Cheng Lu's voice.
He looked down and saw that Cheng Lu's fair palms had been pinched red by him, and his hands were sweating a lot.
Xu Xiuwen immediately let go of her hand and smiled apologetically at her.
Cheng Lu didn't say anything. She took out a tissue from the messenger bag she was carrying, then grabbed his hand and wiped the sweat from his palm.
