Chapter 192: Applying to Live in the Campus
From now on, staying in the campus and focusing on her studies were the most important things.
Xu Yuchu had just finished school when he heard someone knocking on the door.
He went forward and opened the door. The moment he saw Xu Wanwan, he couldn’t help but look back.
“Sis… Where’s Brother-in-Law?”
He knew that Xu Wanwan and Li Jingran were together.
Since they were already together, it wasn’t too much to call Li Jingran Brother-in-Law, that was just natural.
Xu Wanwan frowned and carried her things into the house. “It’s just me.”
Only then did Xu Yuchu notice the big and small bags in her hands. His eyes darkened.
Could it be that they had a fight?
But Xu Wanwan didn’t look like someone who would run away from home after a fight?
It must be that bastard Li Jingran who bullied Xu Wan!
Xu Yuchu suddenly went up and said angrily, “Sis, were you bullied?”
Xu Wanwan was stunned and forced a smile. “No.”
“Then why have you come back with so many things?”
Xu Wanwan looked up and saw the worry in Xu Yuchu’s eyes. She decided to explain it to him clearly.
“I’ll move to the school tomorrow. I won’t stay here forever.”
Xu Yuchu frowned the whole time. “Aren’t you going back to the Li family?”
Xu Wanwan didn’t answer but nodded her head gently.
Xu Yuchu finally saw the sadness and forbearance in her eyes.
He couldn’t bear to ask any more questions and said in a low voice, “Yes.”
“Sis, have you eaten? Shall I cook for you?”
Xu Wanwan pushed open the door to her room and placed the things down. “No need, I’ll do it.”
She turned around and suddenly said, “Shall we have hot pot tonight?”
“Alright, I’ll go to the supermarket to buy ingredients now!”
Although he did not know how to console Xu Wanwan’s emotions, he would definitely support whatever she wanted to do.
He knew that there was nothing he could do, so he wanted to be by her side. At the very least, he wanted to accompany her through such a difficult time.
After Xu Wanwan finished putting away her things, she went to the supermarket with Xu Yuchu.
The two of them bought a lot of ingredients and some wine.
After Xu Wanwan came back, she went to the kitchen to work. She quickly prepared the bottom of the pot and put the ingredients into the pot to cook. She called Xu Yuchu to come and eat with her.
Sitting in front of the steaming pot, she picked up a small piece of tofu and put it into her mouth. Her eyelashes were soon covered by mist. She did not realize that the last time she was here, it was the three of them eating together.
She carefully asked Li Jingran if she could cook hotpot in the Li family in the future.
He said yes.
But since that time when she went back, she became busy and forgot to cook for him.
It had been a while, but those memories were not so easy to forget.
She ate absent-mindedly but drank a lot of wine.
She could not hold her liquor. After a few glasses of fruit wine, she collapsed on the table in a drunken state.
Xu Yuchu could not help but clench his fists. After taking away the remaining wine on the table, he helped Xu Wanwan to the sofa to rest.
He tidied up the dishes and saw that Xu Wanwan was lying on the sofa asleep. Her phone was still on the coffee table.
Xu Yuchu’s eyes darkened. He walked over to take the phone and looked through the address book to find Li Jingran’s phone number.
He walked to the side and turned around to look at the sound asleep Xu Wanwan. As if he had made up his mind, he suddenly dialed the number.
Forget it, for the sake of his sister’s happiness.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
“What’s the matter?” The man’s extremely cold and flat voice came from the other end of the phone.
When Xu Yuchu heard this tone, he was furious. “Li Jingran, what do you mean? Why did you make my sister angry again?”
He thought that his words would wake Li Jingran up from his stupor and make him apologize properly, but who knew that the other end of the phone suddenly went silent.
After a few seconds, Li Jingran sneered and said coldly, “You’re really full of tricks to take advantage of me.”
This time, he asked Xu Yuchu to call him. Who would call him next time?
Xu Yuchu looked baffled. “What do you mean by taking advantage of you? What’s there to take advantage of? It’s just a few smelly money. My sister doesn’t care about your money at all!”
Li Jingran couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. “I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense.”
After Xu Yuchu vented his anger, his heart gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and said, “My sister is drunk now. Come and find her.”
“Drunk?”
At that time, Li Jingran had just gotten off the plane and was rushing to the negotiation venue. He looked at the scenery outside the car window with a cold expression and the corners of his lips curled into a sneer.
Who knew if he was making up a reason to gain his sympathy this time.
“Yes! My sister drank a lot. She became like this because of you. Hurry back –”
Before Xu Yuchu could finish his words, the phone was suddenly hung up.
“You!”
“This is outrageous!”
He was so angry that he gripped his phone tightly and went back to sit beside Xu Wanwan gloomily.
A few hours later, Xu Wanwan woke up. The first thing he said was, “Sis, Li Jingran is a scumbag. Let’s stay away from people like him in the future.”
Hmph, he treated his sister like this just because he had a few stinking dollars. This kind of person didn’t deserve his sister’s sincerity at all!
Xu Wanwan finally woke up and was a little confused.
When she heard this, she rubbed her eyes. “Why do you say that?”
“I just called him and asked him to pick you up, but he…”
Xu Yuchu was halfway through his sentence when he looked at Xu Wanwan worriedly. He lowered his voice and said, “He hung up the phone.”
Xu Wanwan sat quietly. Her mind was still a little sluggish, but Xu Yuchu’s words were like a basin of ice-cold water, completely waking her up.
He was indeed cruel and heartless.
Once he made up his mind, he was like a different person.
Xu Wanwan was stunned for a long time before she said calmly, “Don’t do this again in the future.”
“It’s getting late. You should go back to your room and rest.”
She got up, took her phone, and walked back to her room.
Xu Yuchu looked at her back and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.
That night, Xu Wanwan never fell asleep again. She looked at her phone countless times and resisted the urge to look for Li Jingran.
She stayed up until dawn. After making breakfast, she took a bite and went to the school alone before Xu Yuchu woke up.
In the counselor’s office, Chen Zhigang was giving a report.
Xu Wanwan stood by the side and waited for a while. When she saw that the counselor was done, she went forward.
“Teacher, can I apply for a room?”
The counselor looked at her and did not understand. “Why did you suddenly need a room?”
There were quite a lot of rumors about Xu Wanwan in the school. Many people knew that she was related to the Li family. She did not want to stay in a spacious and comfortable villa, but she had to go to the school’s small dormitory. wasn’t she looking for trouble?
Xu Wanwan nodded. “Yes, it will be more convenient to stay there.”
The counselor pushed up her glasses. Seeing that she looked a little lonely, she clearly understood something.
“Our school has the benefits of a single dormitory for top students. I’ll help you apply for it. When the time comes, I’ll send a message to let you know. You can just move there directly.”
