[Lin Xuyi: Ah this]

[Lin Xuyi: Why don't you just deal with Brother He coldly? You can coldly treat him coldly for a while, and then find any reason to break up.]

[Lin Xuyi: It’s hard to chase people, but isn’t it easy to dump them?]

…………

After buying that bag for Xiaolu, Xiaolu didn't ask for any other luxury goods, which made Chao Ci breathe a sigh of relief.

But as time went on, another problem gradually became apparent.

Xiaolu didn't seem to pay much attention to him.

On WeChat, if he did not take the initiative to find Xiaolu, Xiaolu would not take the initiative to find him. And even if he took the initiative, Xiaolu would not reply to him until a long time later.

During this period of time, Chao Ci was supposed to be on annual leave, but it was used by Chao Ci to work overtime and take care of personal work. Because he was too busy and kept busy, Chao Ci didn't notice anything strange about He Lu.

After the year passed and Chao Ci could barely breathe a sigh of relief, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

He began to frequently ask Xiaolu on WeChat what she was busy with recently, whether she was in a bad mood, when school would start, and when she would be back.

It took a long time for Xiaolu to reply to him, and he just said a few casual words, saying that he would be back around the end of February.

Chao Ci found that she was a little cold, but he thought it might be because Xiaolu was too busy at home during the Chinese New Year. So he didn't pay much attention to it. He would wait until the end of February when Xiaolu came back.

Because it was the New Year's Eve, although his work was somewhat relaxed, he still had other things to do.

He had previously been optimistic about several house types, but now he was finalizing one of them and buying it.

Chao Ci spent a few days carefully comparing and considering various properties and apartment types before buying one of them. Then he was busy handling various procedures and contacting the decoration company.

He heard from his parents that you can't just pay for the decoration and become a hands-off shopkeeper. Firstly, it is not cost-effective, and secondly, it is easy to cause problems, so it is best for him to keep an eye on it. And he also plans to take charge of some interior designs by himself.

After this, the money he had left was not enough to live in his previous apartment. He also looked at another rental house, where he would live until the new home was renovated.

A rental house with a monthly rent of 1,200 yuan and only one small room.

Moving out of a rental house, going through the procedures for buying a house, renovating the house... a series of things, plus Chao Ci's own work, made him busier than at the end of the year.

At the end of February, not long after Chao Ci had finished all the formalities, and the decoration company had only been here for a few days, he looked at the time and realized happily that Xiao Lu was coming back.

He sent a WeChat message to Xiaolu. She finally returned to S city, and they should have a good meeting.

But Xiaolu never responded to him, and he became a little anxious. Thinking about it carefully, Xiaolu seemed to have been quite cold towards him for more than a month.

He called Xiaolu, but he never answered.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Xiaolu responded to him.

[l: Let’s break up, I’m tired of it.]

Chao Ci suddenly saw the news and thought he had read it wrong.

After being stunned for a long time, his blank brain finally processed the information.

His heart couldn't help but sink, and his hands were extremely cold.

yes.

It was because he took it for granted. Xiaolu was still so young and so beautiful. Being with him might just be a temporary novelty. How could he really hang himself here...

As he was thinking about it, he felt that his face was very cold. He subconsciously reached out and touched it and found that it was full of tears.

But Chao Ci didn't want to give up easily.

He really likes Xiaolu so much. It seems that before he met Xiaolu, his life was ordinary and routine. His youth and love only lived on the screen and with other people, and never had anything to do with him.

The dull life suddenly became full of color after meeting Xiaolu.

In the past two years, he has been planning his and Xiaolu's future life and working hard for it, even if he has to give up...

It shouldn't be just a casual pronouncement on WeChat.

[Chaoci: What happened? How about we meet and talk?]

...still no response.

…………

Although she has been dating He Lu for almost two years, Chao Ci has never gone to He Lu's school to look for her.

Because Xiaolu refused to let him go, she said that Chao Ci was usually too busy, and that University F was not close to Chao Ci’s place of work, so traveling back and forth would be too troublesome.

Chao Ci was also very stupid, so he believed what He Lu said. Since Xiao Lu didn't want him to go, he wouldn't go.

But when he now wanted to find Xiaolu and talk to her face to face, he realized that apart from knowing that Xiaolu was studying in F University, he didn't know any other connection with Xiaolu.

She only said that Xiaolu's hometown was in province J, but she didn't mention the specific place... He hadn't even met any of Xiaolu's friends.

If he wanted to find Xiaolu, he could only go to F University to find her.

He took a day off and went to University F.

In order to give something to Xiaolu, Xiaolu told him her dormitory building.

It's Building 6, District X.

Fortunately, the dormitory door did not restrict outsiders from entering. Chao Ci entered the dormitory area and spent some time to find Building 6.

He sent another message to He Lu.

[Chao Ci: I'm downstairs in your dormitory. Come out and meet me. Let's talk, okay?]

In the entire recent chat box, there was only Chao Ci talking to himself.

This time, there was still no response.

Chao Ci waited downstairs for a long time. When it was almost noon, he couldn't help but ask the dormitory manager.

"Auntie, I'm looking for He Lu. Can you contact her roommate? I want to ask if He Lu is in the dormitory now." He said to the dormitory manager.

"He Lu?" the dormitory aunt repeated, then opened the folder to check. After half a minute, she raised her head and looked at Chao Ci, "There is no one named He Lu in our dormitory. Did you remember it wrong?

"

misremembered?

Impossible, he has been delivering meals in Building 6 for more than a year.

"I remember correctly, could you please take a look at it again?" he said.

The dormitory manager was very nice and really looked for her again. Then she shook her head to Chao Ci and said, "No really. But the equipment in our building is aging. At the beginning of this semester, some students have changed dormitories. She may have moved away."

Is this so?

Chao Ci walked out of Building 6 feeling a little disappointed and walked aimlessly in the dormitory area.

Xiao Lu obviously lived in this dormitory area, but she didn't want to see him, and he didn't know her specific building, so he couldn't find her no matter what.

Finally, he went to the door of the dormitory area and stood beside it blankly.

No matter which building Xiaolu is in, he should always be able to see her as long as she goes in and out of the dormitory.

But he never waited for that familiar person.

He waited from noon to night, and then waited until late at night.

It's past ten o'clock. There are fewer and fewer people around.

Chao Ci could no longer stand. He leaned on the railing, still looking at the door in trance.

Suddenly, someone stopped in front of him.

From Chao Ci's perspective, what he saw was a pair of shiny leather shoes that looked valuable and stopped in front of him.

Chao Ci looked up, and standing in front of him was a young man in his early twenties, with a handsome and distant face.

"Are you looking for He Lu?" he asked.

Upon hearing this, Chao Ci's eyes lit up. He quickly stood up and said to the young man, "Yes, how do you know?"

"I am Lu Lanke, He Lu's friend, and I have seen your photos." Lu Lanke explained succinctly.

"You are Xiaolu's friend." Chao Ci said in surprise, "Then do you know where Xiaolu lives? I want to meet him."

Then he suddenly remembered something, looked at his phone, and found that it was already past ten o'clock.

He waited for so long that he lost track of time.

"It's a little late today. I can see her tomorrow. Can you tell her?"

"No need." Lu Lanke said, "He doesn't live in the dormitory anymore."

He Lu is already in the second semester of his senior year. The school will not have any coursework and only requires them to do internships and graduation defense. Therefore, He Lu will not be crowded in the dormitory and has already moved off campus.

"Ah?" Chao Ci's expression darkened, "Then, where does he live?"

"I'll take you there, I'm just going to find him." Lu Lanke said.

At around ten o'clock, a man who called himself Xiaolu said he wanted to find her.

Although Chao Ci was being stupid, some bad feelings came to his mind at this time.

But nothing has been decided yet, and Chao Ci himself can't guess anything.
