You are the best in the world (5)
Of course not.
Wen Bin thought so in his heart. He had anticipated this scene. He should have known that with Luan Qiaoqing's personality, he would not be able to suppress it sooner or later.
But he didn't expect that after he had gradually become adept at handling affairs, such an expected event would actually make him see himself in such an embarrassed state in his heart.
Jealous, hideous, twisted, ugly, even hysterical...
But he dared to hide all those negative emotions deep in his heart, not daring to show them at all - the smile the girl in front of him showed him was as bright as the first time they met. He cherished it very much and never wanted to destroy it with his own hands.
Then he heard his own voice say calmly, "Okay."
If there hadn't been that slight tremor and a hint of hoarseness in the tone, the performance would probably have been perfect.
But Luan Qiaoqing was usually heartless, so she naturally could not detect this slight difference in tone. So when the little girl heard this answer, she smiled even more brightly, "Really? You also think we are quite suitable, right? I heard that his academic performance is very average, and he was mainly admitted because of his sports expertise - from this point of view, I think we are particularly compatible. And I also heard that..."
The little girl was talking excitedly to herself, full of the excitement and anxiety of an adolescent girl falling in love with someone.
But what she didn't see was that the eyes of the boy standing next to her dimmed little by little as she spoke.
After waiting for several seconds for the monologue to end and without any response, Luan Qiaoqing finally turned her head around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? You don't seem to be feeling well?"
“…It’s okay.” Wenbin whispered.
Luan Qiaoqing looked at him worriedly, "Are you really okay?"
"Well," Wen Bin raised his eyes, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Luan Qiaoqing blushed, "How did you know?"
Wenbin didn't say anything.
Luan Qiaoqing smiled and put her arm around the boy's shoulders. "Look, we are best friends, right?"
"."
"Then tell me, I want to pursue someone, shouldn't you help me? Especially since you are in the same class with him, it's such a good opportunity that I feel like we are destined to be together!"
"If this is destined, then it should be us."
"… Hey? What did you say?" Looking at the silly-smiling Luan Qiaoqing in the classroom, he turned back curiously, "Your voice was too soft, I didn't hear it clearly just now."
"Nothing." Wenbin said, "But if I help you, what will I gain?"
Luan Qiaoqing was stunned.
She turned her head to look at Wenbin - the boy who was speaking suddenly made her feel inexplicably strange, his tone and emotion were so strange... it was as if she had never known this person before.
However, Luan Qiaoqing thought about it for a few seconds and couldn't figure it out, so she just thought it was her own illusion. She smiled and patted Wen Bin's shoulder, "Then I will definitely not treat you unfairly. When you have a girl you like in the future, I will help you chase her, how about that?"
"…" Wen Bin was silent for a long time, then nodded: "Okay."
"Then it's a deal!"
"Um."
That night, Wenbin realized a truth: because he was young, there were some things he couldn't get even if he wanted them, so he always had too many regrets.
The most regrettable one is that even though you were the one you met and liked first, there is no reason for that person to like you too.
How lucky it would be if they could like each other - at that time he would be willing to exchange everything he had for this ending.
But that year, Luan Qiaoqing's little trick did not succeed.
Or rather, she left suddenly before she succeeded—
Without any warning or message, Luan Qiaoqing disappeared from Wen Bin's world just as quickly and unpredictably as she appeared.
Many years later, Chu Xiangbin found out that she was in trouble because of a major change in her family - her father suddenly remarried, and his new wife rejected her and proposed that she leave her hometown and live with her aunt as a condition for marriage.
But Wenbin didn't know it at that time.
After the high school entrance examination, he waited for her for a very long time, and went to the high-end apartment every day stubbornly to see if she had returned.
As spring passed and winter came, a layer of dust settled in the depressions of the pattern on the security door, and no one swept it away. He still never waited for her to come back...
The year he was admitted to the provincial key high school, Wenbin and his mother were incorporated into his stepfather's household registration book. At his stepfather's request, he changed his name to his stepfather's surname.
From that day on, his surname was Chu, and his name was Chu Xiangbin.
After high school, Chu Xiangbin's grades became better and better. After his mother married his stepfather, as the family conditions improved, the boy, who had escaped from the malnutrition in the past, began to grow up rapidly.
It didn't take long for him to become the top student and school idol in high school, the idol in the eyes of girls, and the most enviable and helpless existence in the eyes of boys. He was no longer as silent and withdrawn as before. In the process of tutoring Luan Qiaoqing and her little sisters in the fourth year of junior high school, he gradually got used to accommodating ordinary people and integrating into the group.
—He became outstanding, dazzling, and impeccable, with no trace of the lonely boy he once was.
But there is no longer the little girl by his side who would pat his shoulder and call him "brother" with a grin.
The world is so big, with a population of billions, that two people living in the same apartment building may never meet each other in decades of their lives, even if their residences are only tens of meters apart.
Therefore, Chu Xiangbin always thought that there was probably no possibility for him and Luan Qiaoqing to meet again - it was hard to accept but he had to accept it. This was probably the first lesson the adult world taught him.
But fate gave him his first miracle.
After the college entrance examination, Chu Xiangbin entered University A.
At the beginning of the second semester of his sophomore year, Chu Xiangbin's roommate fell in love with the goddess of the school debate team and was determined to win her over.
The roommate was experienced and knew that one of the key factors in pursuing a girl was to "bribe" her bestie or good friend. It was a coincidence and understandable - Chu Xiangbin, as a school idol who had been closely watched by all the seniors and girls of the same grade as soon as he entered University A, happened to be the favorite of the goddess' bestie.
In the face of lust, the roommate "sells" Chu Xiangbin without mercy.
So, just a few days after the start of the second semester of his sophomore year, Chu Xiangbin was dragged from his desk to the balcony by his roommate.
"God Chu, let me discuss something with you."
Chu Xiangbin didn't speak in a hurry. He raised his eyes from his phone and glanced at his roommate.
The roommate responded, "Oh, I forgot. You hate it when people say 'ba', right? I take it back. But this habit of yours is really a bit weird..."
Chu Xiangbin interrupted him, "Just say what you want to say, I'll go back to programming."
"Chu Shen, you are too busy. You are from our School of Economics, not their School of Computer Science. Why do you still need to - hey, hey, hey, I won't say anything more. Don't leave!" The roommate quickly pulled the impatient man back, "Look, the school debate team is having a new member reception tonight, and I'm going to go over to take a look - how about you come with me?"
Chu Xiangbin didn't raise his eyes, "I don't join student organizations."
"I know this. In the second semester of your freshman year, the vice president of the student union came to recruit you but you refused to join, let alone other student organizations. So I didn't expect you to join. I just wanted you to accompany me."
"..." Chu Xiangbin raised his eyes to look at him. His eyes were calm, but one could always feel that there was a sharpness in his eyes that could not hide his inner thoughts.
The roommate smiled stiffly for a few seconds.
Chu Xiangbin rubbed his neck, "Why don't you find someone else? Why do you have to let me go with you?"
The roommate acted innocent, "I asked them, they all have to spend time with their girlfriends, so they don't have time. After all, we are the only two single people in our dormitory. How can they be as self-disciplined as you, Chu Shen, and as pure as a practicing monk?"
"… "
Although Chu Xiangbin was reluctant to go, he finally accompanied his roommate to the school debate team's recruitment meeting after his roommate begged him so persistently that he almost knelt down and called him dad.
Even though Chu Xiangbin only vaguely guessed his roommate's unspoken purpose at first but didn't guess the real reason, after arriving outside the classroom door of the school debate team's new member reception party, Chu Xiangbin quickly figured out the cause and effect -
His roommate pulled him over impatiently. As soon as he arrived at the front door of the classroom, he made eye contact with a girl standing there, who then eagerly pulled him over to say hello.
"God Chu, let me introduce you. This is Senior Sister Sun Yuran, the vice-captain of our school's debate team." After the roommate finished speaking, he turned around and blinked at the girl in front of him, "Senior Sister Sun, who is this? I don't need to introduce her, right?"
"Of course." After a quick eye contact with Chu Xiangbin's roommate, the senior named Sun Yuran looked at Chu Xiangbin again, the admiration and joy in her eyes could no longer be suppressed. She cleared her throat, smiled and extended her hand, "I think everyone in A University will know junior Chu Xiangbin - Hello, junior, my name is Sun Yuran, I majored in German in the College of Arts, I'm a grade higher than you, and I'm currently the vice captain of the debate team."
“…” Chu Xiangbin did not shake hands, but narrowed his eyes and glanced at his roommate.
The roommate broke out in a cold sweat after being looked at by such a clear and penetrating look. He smiled stiffly, turned his back, and whispered to Chu Xiangbin: "Please give me some face, Dad Chu. I really need your help, so I had no choice but to do this - but only this time. I swear, I will kneel at the door of the dormitory when I go back, is that not enough?"
"… "
Chu Xiangbin didn't say anything. After retracting his gaze, he casually touched the other person's outstretched hand, which was considered a handshake. His tone was also flat, "Hello, senior sister."
The girl's smile was a little stiff, but she quickly regained her composure. "Our freshman party hasn't started yet, but you're not freshmen anymore, so why don't you come in and find a seat?"
"Thank you, senior. Thank you, senior." The roommate responded repeatedly, and pulled him in as if afraid that Chu Xiangbin would go back on his word.
The school debate team chose a large classroom for the new member recruitment party. At this time, the classroom was empty, except for the members of the school debate team. They were all gathered around the podium, some of them gathered in groups of three or five to discuss something, and some were debugging the PPT that would be used for the speech at the new member recruitment meeting.
After Chu Xiangbin came in, he sat down at the seat closest to the wall and studied the code file that he had transferred to his mobile phone.
Naturally, his roommate who valued women over friends had already run to his goddess and shown his affection.
Chu Xiangbin was quiet for a while, and a shadow was cast beside him.
"Brother Chu, are you busy?"
"…" Chu Xiangbin looked up and saw the senior sister named Sun Yuran. He paused for two seconds before smiling distantly, "Senior sister, is there something wrong?"
"I just finished my work, and I saw you sitting here alone. I didn't have anything to say, so I came over to ask." Sun Yuran tucked the hair on one side of her cheek behind her ear, sat down next to Chu Xiangbin, and put the drink in her hand in front of Chu Xiangbin, "Junior, you came here empty-handed, right? The new member recruitment meeting will probably last for a long time, why don't you have a drink of water first?"
Chu Xiangbin paused, reached out to take it, and said, "Thank you." He put the bottle of drink aside and didn't touch it again.
"… "
Sun Yuran was quite pretty, but she had never encountered such coldness when she took the initiative to express something to a boy. Her expression was a little stiff for a moment.
Feeling the gazes of the other debate team members not far away, Sun Yuran gritted her teeth and told herself that she couldn't let others laugh at her. So she forced a smile and continued to chat with Chu Xiangbin: "I heard from Zhu Xinyang that you are majoring in business administration in the School of Economics, right?"
Zhu Xinyang is the name of Chu Xiangbin’s roommate.
When Chu Xiangbin raised his eyes from the mobile phone screen again, he glanced indifferently at Zhu Xinyang's back beside the podium.
Perhaps it was because the coldness and murderous intent in his eyes were very tangible, the person over there froze, turned his head cautiously, and then mouthed "please, brother" to Chu Xiangbin through the air.
Chu Xiangbin lowered his eyes slightly.
In addition to the word "bei", which is the ending interjection he hates to hear the most, "please" and "brother" are also his special emotional areas.
However, people who knew his habit, including Zhu Xinyang, actually misunderstood it. It wasn't that he hated this way of speaking, it was just that it always reminded him of a figure buried in his memory.
"—Chu Xuezhe? Chu Xuezhe??"
The voice beside his ear brought Chu Xiangbin back to his wandering thoughts. He turned back and said, "Sorry, I was distracted."
"It's okay." Sun Yu Ran gritted her teeth and kept smiling.
"What did you just ask?"
Sun Yuran said: "I'm asking, are you and Zhu Xinyang both from the School of Economics?"
"Um."
Sun Yuran's eyes turned and she smiled and asked, "That's great. My family gives me a lot of living expenses every month, but I can't spend it all on my expenses. It would be a pity to leave it alone - so this year I plan to learn about index fund regular investment, but I'm worried that I have no one to ask for advice."
Chu Xiangbin didn't say anything.
Sun Yuran could only bite the bullet and say, "If it's convenient for Junior Brother Chu, can I add your WeChat? If I have any questions in this regard, I can..."
Before Sun Yuran finished speaking, Chu Xiangbin spoke up, "I'm sorry, senior, I'm not good at this. But I have the email addresses of several professors of Western Economics and Asset Management. I'll ask Zhu Xinyang to send them to you later. They are much more professional than me. You might as well ask them for advice."
"Why… ?"
Without waiting for Sun Yuran's response, Chu Xiangbin stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to discuss with the counselor, so I have to leave first. Senior sister, please give up your seat. I'm leaving."
Sun Yuran stood up with a stiff expression, "Junior, don't you want to attend the new member recruitment meeting?"
"It seems there is no chance. It's a pity, but there is nothing we can do about it." Chu Xiangbin said this, but his expression and tone did not show any regret. "Thank you for the drink, senior sister."
After saying that, the boy smiled calmly, turned around and walked out.
In front of and behind the podium, students from the school debate team lowered their heads and discussed.
"Senior Sun, you really dare to think. What kind of person is Chu Xiangbin? I heard that he is completely asexual. It has been a year and a half since he entered the school as a freshman. The girls who are chasing him and have a crush on him must have circled the school three times. When has he ever made eyes at anyone?"
"I also think that Senpai is a little delusional."
"That's right. The school beauty vice president of the student union went to recruit him when he was a freshman, but she came back empty-handed."
"But I'm surprised he can come today. Didn't he say he has no interest in any student organizations? How unusual is that in an industrial management major?"
"I heard that they don't accept invitations from any student organizations, but they came to our new member reception today. What a pity, they have to leave before they finish watching. Otherwise, our debate team would have made a name for itself in the school forum."
"Hahaha, it's a bit ridiculous—"
The conversation among several students suddenly stopped.
The reason was simple—the male protagonist in their discussion was originally on his way out of the classroom, but suddenly stopped without any warning and looked at the projection screen in shock.
Several students from the school debate team were stunned and subconsciously turned around to look at the projection screen hanging in front of the blackboard.
What was placed on it was the middle page of the recruitment speech PPT, which was probably a photo taken during a debate competition. In the middle of the photo, the words "A University Debate Team vs. Q University Debate Team" were written on the blackboard.
In front of the blackboard, the four debaters from each team sat behind the debate table with serious expressions, apparently discussing something.
Several people from the school debate team looked at this photo for a long time but couldn't understand what was so special about it that could cause Chu Xiangbin to have such a big emotional fluctuation.
When they were at a loss, Chu Xiangbin finally came to his senses. He stared stiffly away from the first debater sitting on the side of the Q University debate team, and after several seconds, he walked to the podium.
"This one..." Chu Xiangbin's voice suddenly became hoarse when he opened his mouth. He even felt a nervousness in his heart that he hadn't felt for a long time. He heard his voice become stiff like another person. "When was the game in this photo?"
The student who was debugging the PPT hesitated and answered carefully: "The final exam of last semester."
"Are all of them people from both debate teams?"
"Yes, this is a freshman competition, where the freshmen of the school debate team compete against each other to warm up and adapt to the debate stage. Debate teams from major universities often have such competitions where a pair of universities compete frequently. Our school is paired with Q University, and we have one almost every month."
"..." Chu Xiangbin's eyes once again turned to the familiar yet unfamiliar girl sitting in the first debate position in the Q University debate team. After a long time, he lowered his eyes and asked, "Do you have an application form for recruiting new members?"
"-Why?"
The student was stunned when he spoke.
The members of the school debate team who had been listening carefully to the noise nearby also cast shocked glances over.
Amidst all the attention, Chu Xiangbin, who had slowly calmed down, took a deep look at the photo and turned to the student in front of him.
"I apply to join."
The news that Chu Xiangbin had joined the school debate team quickly spread throughout the school.
Everyone initially reacted to this news with disbelief—
"How is it possible, Chu Xiangbin?"
"How many invitations from student organizations did he reject during his freshman year? I don't believe he never rejected the school debate team. How could he suddenly want to join it in the second semester of his sophomore year?"
"Yes, it must be a rumor."
"… "
Perhaps because of such questioning voices, the school debate team was exceptionally efficient in recruiting and selecting new members this time - less than a week later, the list of new members was posted on the school bulletin board for public display.
Among them, the three words "Chu Xiangbin" are ranked first.
Following the school debate team, the whole school was shocked. Everyone began to speculate about the reason why Chu Xiangbin joined the school debate team. There were all kinds of guesses, but no one knew the real truth.
This discussion and "academic discussion" continued until a month later.
Even Zhu Xinyang, who thought he was the instigator, felt guilty and went to Chu Xiangbin to verify: "God Chu, why did you join the school debate team? Is it really to assist me, your brother? If you are so loyal, I really have no way to repay you!"
Chu Xiangbin was packing his clothes. Hearing this, he didn't even turn his head and said, "Don't dream."
"… It's not because of me?" Zhu Xinyang said regretfully, and then he came forward curiously, "Then what is the reason?"
Chu Xiangbin didn't answer.
Zhu Xinyang stroked his chin as if thinking, "Could it be that you really have a crush on a girl from the school debate team? But I saw that you weren't interested in Senior Sun Yuran at all that day?"
"." Chu Xiangbin still ignored him and turned around and said, "Make way, I'll take the suitcase."
"Oh, okay." Zhu Xinyang made way for him before he suddenly realized, "Wait, this isn't a holiday, it's just a weekend, why are you packing your luggage, Chu Shen?"
"… "
Chu Xiangbin paused.
He stood in front of the cabinet for a long while, maintaining the same posture. His back was facing the dormitory, and Zhu Xinyang could not see his eyes or expression.
Zhu Xinyang could only hear Chu Xiangbin speaking a long time later: "The debate team is going to Q University... to have a debate competition."
Zhu Xinyang was stunned.
It was an extremely complex emotion that he had never heard from Chu Xiangbin before, and it seemed to contain many, many past events.
That day was just an ordinary monthly game.
There are several cities between A University and Q University, but there are more than ten high-speed trains running directly between them every day, so traveling back and forth is never a hassle.
At the home court of Q University, members of the debate team of A University who were going to participate in the competition came to Q City one after another. And because of Chu Xiangbin, there were obviously a few more old members in this group who were not necessary.
Chu Xiangbin had been looking forward to this competition for a whole month - he had not been nervous at all during the college entrance examination. He was in a state of complete disarray along the way, and everyone could see his absent-minded look.
Someone dared to joke, "Why is Chu Shen so nervous as if he is going to meet his sweetheart?"
"… "
Maybe it was because he was too nervous, but Chu Xiangbin acted as if he didn’t hear what was said and didn’t give any denial response.
The people in the school debate team knew best why Chu Xiangbin suddenly wanted to join the school debate team that day. They exchanged glances, and it was obvious that each of them had a guess in their mind.
After getting off the bus, the group headed straight to Q University. They didn't stay in the lounge there for long before they were notified to go to the classroom for the competition.
Hearing that all the members of Q University's debate team were in the classroom, Chu Xiangbin was so nervous that he almost lost control of his hands and feet when he entered the classroom.
However, when he entered the classroom, Chu Xiangbin carefully searched all the unfamiliar faces, but he did not see the one he most wanted to see.
He didn't have much time or opportunity, as the competition was about to begin. Chu Xiangbin could only sit in the fourth debater's seat with an irritable and depressed mood.
Until the second before the referee read out the rules, his eyes, still filled with a deep sense of unwillingness, swept over the figures of the Q University Debate Team over and over again.
Both sides of the "Friends and Family Seat" noticed it.
The leader of the Q team today sat together with the leader of the A team, and their expressions were a little awkward. "Is this the new handsome guy from the A team you just recruited?"
Although it was embarrassing, as an old enemy, the leader of the A team would definitely not show weakness at this time. He showed a mocking smile: "Hey, you guys heard about it too? So, are you jealous? This face, this look, this brain, they are all appearances."
"His appearance and temperament are impeccable. You guys are really lucky..." Q rolled his eyes. "How come this guy is so fierce? How did you mobilize him before the game? The way he looked at us was like he had a deep hatred for us."
A was speechless for a while, and after several seconds he sneered, "I guess you guys are not popular - obviously when this school hunk Chu was in our school, he was not so friendly, but he was never this cold."
"… "
To the surprise of both sides, the game ended extremely quickly.
The reason can be attributed to that one person—
Someone who looked extremely nervous on the way here, seemed like a different person after entering the classroom. Unlike the three teammates beside him and the four enemies opposite him, the eight people were originally new members, but he acted like a veteran who was bullying the weak ones.
During the free debate phase, the four people from Q University were almost completely crushed by Chu Xiangbin alone. His words were sharp, his logic was flawless, and his aura was amazing. At one point, the situation looked like a dimensionality reduction attack - the four people on the opposite side were like poor little guys who were completely bullied by a bully. In the last few minutes of the free debate, the four people had completely collapsed.
During the closing argument, facing the opponent's fourth debater who had a gloomy face and almost never sat down during the entire debate, Q University's new fourth debater could hardly speak clearly.
The game ended hastily, and the winner was self-evident.
The two team leaders had different expressions.
After the referee's announcement, there was silence for a few seconds between the two. Q spoke first, "Where did you find this killer weapon? Are you sure you didn't hide it for a year and a half and suddenly took it out today?"
"… Why should we? If we had known he was this capable, we would have directly added him to the first team. Why would we let him down and play such a bullying game?" A couldn't help but taunt him halfway through his speech, "I'm sorry, I bullied you newcomers, didn't I? I think you should give your newcomers some psychological counseling after this game - otherwise, it's easy for them to have psychological barriers after such a game. What if they are so scared that they dare not debate in the future? How guilty would we be?"
"You still have a conscience." Q glanced at him and retorted, "And don't just talk about our newcomers - how strong can yours be? During the free debate stage, it was obvious that your teammates were confused and couldn't keep up with the logical progress. They had to rely on one person to fight the whole process. This is not four against four, it's clearly one against seven, right?"
“… … ”
The two team captains successfully provoked each other's anger within a few seconds, and began the familiar scene that happens in every game every month, where the argument on stage just ended and the audience started arguing without rules again.
As everyone moved their benches to watch the fun, no one noticed that the eight-person "friendly" handshake stage of the competition had already ended. Chu Xiangbin, in front of four opponents who had been psychologically traumatized by him, shook the hand of the last debater with a stern look.
"Is there someone named Luan Qiaoqing in your debate team?"
The four debaters on the other side were stunned for a moment. The fourth debater who was shaken by the hand smiled stiffly, "Chu, Chu, are you talking about Senior Sister Luan Qiaoqing? Yes, yes."
"She didn't come today?"
"Senior Luan discussed something with the captain and others in our team's activity room today..."
"Activity room?" Chu Xiangbin dragged the person out without saying a word, "Please take me there."
“Hey… Hey?”
The boy was dragged out by this terrifying demon without even a tear, and he didn't even dare to struggle.
In fact, the tone of "trouble you" sounds more like "I'll kill you if you dare to say no."
The two soon arrived at the activity room of the Q University Debate Team.
However, after knocking on the door, only the debate team leader was there. The boy hesitated, and after feeling the pressure from Chu Xiangbin beside him suddenly drop again, he stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Captain, Senior Sister Luan... isn't here?"
The captain was busy writing some materials. Hearing this, he replied without looking up: "She went to the north gate. Doesn't she go home every afternoon?"
"oh… "
The boy stepped out and conveyed the message carefully.
Chu Xiangbin's eyes darkened and he gritted his teeth. "Can you lead me to the north gate of your school? The sooner the better."
"… "
A few minutes later, two figures ran past on the main road running from south to north on the campus of Q University.
College students rarely have such a hectic pace of life, and everyone couldn't help but look over along the way.
After discovering that one of them was an extremely handsome guy, everyone became even more curious.
Chu Xiangbin paid no attention to the looks and discussions until he finally stopped in front of the north gate of Q University, his chest rising and falling. He quickly scanned the chaotic flow of people inside and outside the school gate.
A few seconds later, the boy from the Q University debate team finally stopped beside Chu Xiangbin, panting, propped up his knees, and pointed firmly in the direction across the street—
"Luan... Senior Sister Luan usually waits there... to pick her up, her car..."
“—”
Following the boy's finger, Chu Xiangbin saw the girl standing on the side of the road at first sight.
His figure froze, and he seemed to have forgotten to breathe.
At a certain moment, Chu Xiangbin suddenly came back to his senses, and his chest began to rise and fall violently again - as if he had suddenly resumed breathing after forced suffocation, and his face slowly turned red.
He didn't dare to look away from the figure for even a moment.
He opened his mouth.
Just before the name was called out, an extremely arrogant and eye-catching bright purple sports car suddenly stopped in front of the girl.
A few seconds later, in Chu Xiangbin's frozen gaze, a young man with purple hair came down from the driver's seat. His handsome face was expressionless. After saying a few words to the girl, the man threw the girl's small suitcase behind the seat of the sports car.
Across the street, Chu Xiangbin saw the little girl who was familiar yet unfamiliar to him, saying something to the young man in a complaining manner.
I couldn't hear it clearly, but I could tell it was a kind of closeness that only one could have with the people they loved closest to them.
Then the two of them got into the driver's seat and the front passenger seat of the sports car, and the car sped away.
After a long time, Chu Xiangbin was still frozen in place.
The boy next to him probably saw through something, and spoke up reluctantly: "That guy seems to be Senior Sister Luan's boyfriend... I heard from the team that Senior Sister Luan goes home once a month, and they seem to have... lived together for a long time."
It feels like a lifetime has passed.
Chu Xiangbin turned around slowly.
He smiled, and his eyes dimmed a little.
"Thank you. I have one last thing to trouble you with."
"Don't tell her... I was here."
After returning, Chu Xiangbin still kept his name on the debate team and promised that he would cooperate with all activities and publicity of the school debate team until he graduated. The only condition was that he would no longer participate in any competition with the Q University debate team.
Everyone in the school debate team, who had been worried that he would quit the team, naturally agreed.
It was also after Chu Xiangbin returned from Q University that Zhu Xinyang discovered that Chu Xiangbin seemed to have undergone a major change—it was hard to explain, but the feeling that person gave people was a little different.
It was not until he accidentally watched a game of Chu Xiangbin that Zhu Xinyang finally saw the change: a certain side of Chu Xiangbin had been unblocked.
—The reconciliation that he had originally reached with the world for a certain person was completely abandoned. He was no longer as withdrawn and taciturn as he was in his youth, but his most aggressive side completely swallowed up the last bit of softness in his heart.
Chu Xiangbin gradually became synonymous with "terrible" in the debate team.
The sense of terror and oppression brought about by the excellence, crushing and lack of room for maneuver continued until later.
It was not until his senior year that Chu Xiangbin's stepfather's company went bankrupt due to poor management, and the Chang family father and son lent a helping hand.
In order to repay a favor, Chang Ting half threatened and half forced Chu Xiangbin to go undercover in VIO Capital as a recent graduate.
—The second miracle in Chu Xiangbin’s life began to happen at that moment.
