Chunguang Town is still (42)

  My heart sank, such a blow, I almost cried out: "What?"

  Zhao Tian and Shi Lifi urged him: "What's going on, speak clearly."

  "There wasn't any clear indication, and I hadn't heard him mention it either. But recently a girl has been calling our dormitory to look for him, and later we saw them together several times. Remember when you asked me why Lu You didn't show up during roll call? He went to pick her up."

  I clutched at my last shred of hope: "Are you sure they're boyfriend and girlfriend?"

  Du Shao Tu shook his head and said: "I'm not very sure, but I think based on his personality, if they're not boyfriend and girlfriend, he wouldn't get so close to a girl."

  The more I listened, the more disappointed I became. I asked him persistently: "Could it be that she's a good friend? A particularly close one. Is that girl very pretty?"

  "Looks pretty good, looks quite gentle. Once saw Lu You take her bag for her, doesn't seem like a close friend either."

  These words thoroughly broke my heart.

  23. After the conversation with Du Shao Tu, my enthusiasm for auditing Financial Engineering was greatly discounted. Yao Li was right, if Lu You really had a girlfriend, I should quietly go to a corner and cry by myself, both emotionally and rationally.

  That was a contradictory period of time. During class, I no longer actively helped Lu You occupy the seat, and most of the time I sat in the seat near the door, where I could clearly see my classmates coming and going. Lu You usually arrived at the classroom within 5 minutes before class started, very punctual. What was a bit disappointing was that after I stopped sitting next to him, he didn't show any discomfort, even when we met in the elective course classroom, he just nodded and said hello.

  But I still like him, and even from a distance, looking at this person makes me feel that life is worth expecting. Every word and action of his is etched in my heart, and no matter how I look at it, it's all good.

  Yao Li asked me: "Shen Shen, do you think Lu You has any shortcomings?"

  "I said without hesitation: 'No.'"

  "That's not considered liking, this kind of blind emotion is called infatuation."

  "'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder', it's because you like him that everything about him seems pleasing to the eye, even his flaws become merits."

  "Then you should also think clearly whether he likes you or will like you?"
