Chapter 87: Just Because She Is More 'Tea' Than You

"Ying Ziyun? You two are back together?" Sheng Bo asked in surprise.

Cheng Huaiyu and Zhao Gaoyang also turned their gazes toward Xu Heng.

Ying Ziyun and Xu Heng had broken up two or three months ago, and there hadn't been a peep or any news since; why was Ying Ziyun suddenly asking Xu Heng out late at night?

Looking at the three curious gazes, Xu Heng smiled calmly: "No."

"Then why is she looking for you?"

"I don't know."

"Old Xu, be careful not to lose your virtue; my mom told me that boys out and about need to protect themselves," Sheng Bo said.

"Bo Bo, what kind of crap are you saying? If Old Xu gets forced by Ying Ziyun, could that even be considered Old Xu suffering a loss?" Zhao Gaoyang couldn't help but retort.

"Damn! I was just kindly reminding him."

"That kind of reminder is worse than buying Old Xu a couple of little balloons; at least that would count as you making a contribution to their relationship."

"Old Xu, did Ying Ziyun really take the initiative to look for you?" Cheng Huaiyu asked with a face full of doubt.

The few of them in the dorm knew Ying Ziyun's personality more or less; to put it nicely, it was cold and aloof, to put it harshly, she was a stone-cold woman, her expression never changing for ten thousand years, like a relative had died at home, and she almost never spoke when out and about.

After Xu Heng broke up with her, it was always Xu Heng who took the initiative to show goodwill and weakness; could she really take the initiative to come find Xu Heng?

"She was probably touched by your situation and is prepared to find me to talk things out," Xu Heng said with a smile.

Cheng Huaiyu curled his lip and hissed through his teeth: "Hiss~ Old Xu, can you not bring that up? I still have a headache over how to handle this; Ji Meimei has now mobilized everyone she knows to post on the campus forum to smear me, and Yueyue has also blocked me; getting into a mess like this, it's truly fucked."

Xu Heng shook his head: "I warned you back then not to get too close to Ji Meimei; some girls' schemes are much deeper than you think."

"Sigh, it's too late to talk about that now; I'd better think about how to coax Yueyue back," Cheng Huaiyu scratched his head and sighed.

Sheng Bo laughed lewdly from the side: "Old Xu, are you not coming back tonight? Are you going to do that kind of thing with Ying Ziyun outside?"

As he spoke, he used his index finger to poke the circle formed by his right hand.

"I'm coming back; I'm just going out to chat with her, it won't take long."

"Pfft~ Old Xu, do you think I'll believe that?"

Xu Heng didn't argue further with Sheng Bo and turned to leave the dorm; he couldn't exactly say that it wasn't Ying Ziyun who asked him out, but Dan Yuyue, right? If he did, wouldn't Cheng Huaiyu blow a fuse on the spot?

Once Xu Heng left, Zhao Gaoyang sighed and said: "When will I be able to chase Fan Xi? Then I could go out and have fun at night like Old Xu."

When he said this, he even glanced at Cheng Huaiyu.

Back when everyone had girlfriends, he was very anxious to chase Fan Xi.

But now that the dorm had become three bachelors, and after Cheng Huaiyu's reputation at school had plummeted, he wasn't as anxious anymore, and even felt a bit of secret joy in his heart.

After all, with Cheng Huaiyu the scumbag as a foil, his own image as Cheng Huaiyu's roommate would unintentionally appear much more upright and lofty; plus, there were few high-quality men in the School of Liberal Arts to begin with, so why worry about not being able to land a girl?

At the entrance of the snack street, Xu Heng saw Dan Yuyue standing at the intersection from afar.

She was wearing a light-colored striped shirt with a brown half-skirt underneath, and the whole person was wrapped up extra tightly compared to usual.

However, this look gave her a bit more of a student vibe and a bit less allure, making her appear very pure.

At this moment, Dan Yuyue was standing alone by the side of the road like a beautiful signpost; passing male students would occasionally go up to ask her a question or two, but she rejected them all with the excuse that she was waiting for someone.

When Xu Heng saw her, she also saw Xu Heng; meeting Xu Heng's gaze, she subconsciously turned her head away, pretending she hadn't seen him.

Seeing this, Xu Heng walked over and said: "You have the guts to lie to me, but no guts to see me? That doesn't sound like your style."

"Huh? What are you saying? I don't understand."

"Wasn't it you who asked me out?"

Dan Yuyue curled her lips: "I didn't ask you out; I just came out for a walk after eating my fill at night; who would have thought I'd happen to run into you here."

Xu Heng smiled, waved his hand, and said: "Then I won't disturb your continued walk; I have another appointment, I'm leaving first."

"Don't you dare leave!" Dan Yuyue probably didn't expect Xu Heng to play dumb like this, and she grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing? Trying to molest me? Don't think that just because I'm a man I don't have men's rights; if you touch me again, I'm going to scream!"

"Accompany me to eat."

"Didn't you say you were full?" Xu Heng asked "confusedly."

Dan Yuyue took a deep breath, then closed her eyes, looking as if she were ready to die: "Fine, I admit I lied to you; actually, I didn't eat dinner at all, and I'm not out for a walk; I'm just here waiting for you, okay!"

"Okay," Xu Heng laughed.

Dan Yuyue said resentfully: "You knew I was lying to you the whole time and still wanted to play me like this; is it fun?"

"Seeing a girl as bold as you show a 'social death' expression is indeed very fun."

"What's 'social death'?"

"Social death, meaning making a fool of yourself in front of others; in common parlance, it's doing something that makes your toes curl into the floor; did your toes curl into the floor just now?"

"Get lost! I would never curl my toes into the floor."

Xu Heng didn't continue to tease her, but nodded with satisfaction: "Finally, you look a bit like your usual self."

Hearing this, Dan Yuyue was stunned, and then she discovered that the low, depressed mood in her heart had indeed dissipated quite a bit.

Seeing her silent, Xu Heng ruffled her dark hair: "Let's go; didn't you say you wanted to treat me to barbecue? I specifically ran two laps on the track before coming here, just waiting to fleece you."

"Mm."

Dan Yuyue might have really been hungry; she didn't eat much of the barbecue, just kept gnawing on the braised pig's trotters and cold noodles.

Xu Heng watched her eat and said: "Actually, Cheng Huaiyu isn't bad by nature; he's also just a teenager in his late teens or early twenties; sometimes it's normal to lose control when encountering certain temptations."

"You already... *hic*, you already knew about his relationship with Ji Meimei, right? Why didn't you... *hic*, why didn't you tell me?"

"Eat slowly, drink some water first." Xu Heng handed over his bottle of Wine.

Dan Yuyue didn't stand on ceremony; she grabbed it and finished it in two big gulps, and after a few hiccups, her eyes were a little red.

"You all ganged up to lie to me; none of you are good people."

"To tell the truth, I tried to advise Cheng Huaiyu, but he didn't listen to my advice; and think about it, I couldn't really tell you about this, could I? What would Cheng Huaiyu think of me then? So I could only advise, but I couldn't convince him, so you can't blame me."

Hearing this, Dan Yuyue could no longer hold it together; she folded her arms on the table and sobbed.

"What exactly is so good about that woman? She isn't prettier than me, she doesn't look better than me, and she doesn't even look like much."

Xu Heng was speechless: "Sis, those three sentences mean the same thing."

"I just want to emphasize why the hell she was able to cheat on me!"

"Because she's more 'tea' than you."

"???"
