Chapter 5: Encountering a Beautiful Person Again
"It's enough to just know each other, no need for introductions, let's go inside quickly," Luo Qiwen said with a smile.
Dong Jian unconsciously followed behind the tall woman. He felt a sense of familiarity and warmth towards her, yet he firmly believed in his heart that he did not know this woman. Among the people he knew, there was simply no woman as tall and as captivating as her.
"Qiweng, I am truly sorry, but I cannot share this apartment with Bai Rou." Thinking that he would surely be rejected by Bai Rou, Dong Jian secretly gritted his teeth and reluctantly said to Luo Qiweng, as this was also a way for him to save some face.
"What is wrong with you? She asked you to urge me to come back, so you just urged me to come back? You haven't even gotten married yet, and now you have feelings but no sense of obligation?" Dong Jian chuckled and teased.
Luo Qiwen widened his eyes and said: "You little brat, aren't you back without a place to stay? Sharing an apartment with a girl, you would also receive her attentive care. Isn't that good? Let me tell you, if I weren't living with Chu Xixue, I would break my head just to get in there. Come on, let's go buy some alcohol, and once you go, you'll understand that my m.hetushu.com is also for your own good"
Dong Jian rang the doorbell while holding a beer, and as soon as the door opened, both Dong Jian and the girl who opened the door exclaimed in unison: "How come it's you?"
The girl who appeared before Dong Jian was actually the tall woman he had been following all along, and she was also the awkward girl he had encountered on the bus. No wonder throughout the journey, Dong Jian felt a sense of familiarity with this woman
"What does this have to do with Lin Mei-mei?" Dong Jian asked, puzzled.
At that moment, a tall figure walked past Dong Jian. The unique fragrance of the young girl made Dong Jian lift his head to look at her slender silhouette. Her delicate waist swayed slightly, accentuating her graceful curves, while her long, straight legs exuded both gentleness and strength with each step. Her long hair gently swayed behind her back. Every subtle movement made one's heart race. Her long, straight legs exuded both gentleness and strength with each step. Her long hair gently swayed behind her back. Every subtle movement made one's heart race
Dong Jian quickened his pace, feeling anxious in his heart as he constantly looked around. At another turn, he finally saw that tall figure heading towards a group of buildings and the library. He hurriedly chased after them.
"Oh dear, what are you talking about? There is nothing between us." Bai Rou's face turned even redder as she left the three of them and ran back to her room
Chu Xixue laughed heartily: "Bai Rou, why are you running? How did you know what I was going to ask? Do you have something to hide in your heart?" She relentlessly pursued her inside.
Dong Jian felt a bit dizzy; the world was indeed too small, as he had unexpectedly encountered Bai Rou. Reflecting on the incident that had occurred between them on the long-distance bus in the past, he was uncertain how to conclude today's meeting. Bai Rou would certainly not agree to co-rent an apartment with him. With this thought, a sense of disappointment immediately enveloped his heart
"It was Xixue who urged me to get you back. Have you returned or not?" On the other end of the phone, Luo Qiwen's voice asked anxiously
The woman's footsteps were quick, and in the crowded throng, she suddenly changed direction
"Sit down, this will be your and Bai Rou's world from now on," Luo Qiwen said in a low voice, filled with envy.
What is going on with this Lin sister? Upon seeing Luo Qiwen, Dong Jianli immediately forgot about that tall woman
As for that Lin girl, she is Xixue's classmate. She appears to be quite bold, yet she is so frightened that she hides in her room all day and does not dare to go out. A few of her female classmates discussed the matter and decided to find a reliable male student to share an apartment with her. With a dependable male presence nearby, her courage would likely increase
"Bai Rou, Dong Jian, you know each other?" Chu Xi Xue, wearing an apron, ran out holding a spatula
"What does it mean to be or not to be Lin Mei Mei? I am currently in Liancheng City, so if you have something to say, just say it directly without beating around the bush," Dong Jian asked suspiciously.
"What are you thinking about? You've completely zoned out. Here, this is the co-rental agreement prepared for you." As soon as Dong Jian sat down, Luo Qiwen tossed him a piece of paper filled with numerous notes regarding the co-rental arrangements.
In Liancheng City, Dong Jian just got off the bus when his phone rang. Seeing that the caller ID was his close friend, Luo Qiwen, he answered the call with a dissatisfied tone: "I said, Qiwen, I've only been gone for a few days. Why are you urging me to come back? You can't possibly be unable to live without me, can you? If your Chu Xixue finds out about this, she might think we're up to something, right?"
"Are you so eager to come over just because I mentioned that a Lin Sister fell from the sky?" Dong Jian turned and walked a short distance when Luo Qiwen emerged from the building where the woman had disappeared.
He did not follow too closely, as getting too close might allow him to see the woman's face. He feared that seeing her face would shatter his most perfect impression of her.
Luo Qiwen pointed at Dong Jian and said, "I didn't see it before; you really are someone who, when silent, remains unnoticed, but when you speak, you astonish everyone." After saying this, he pushed Dong Jian through the door.
The figure of the woman disappeared into a tall building, and a sense of loss immediately surged within Dong Jian's heart. He smiled self-deprecatingly, wondering what was wrong with him. How could he have followed a woman so far?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Rou stormed out in anger: "Dong Jian, I have been worried about not being able to find you. Let me tell you, you must co-rent this apartment with me. I will also need to revise the rental agreement; I will not accommodate you, you scoundrel." After saying this, she turned around and walked back into the room, slamming the door shut.
Luo Qiwen smiled awkwardly and said, "Isn't it true that Xu Xue also got admitted to Liancheng University? She had only stayed in the dormitory for one day when she discovered that one of her roommates had sleepwalking disorder."
On the other end of the phone, Luo Qiwen protested loudly: "I say, Dong Jian, don't be so shameless after taking advantage of the situation. Hurry back, there's a Lin Meimei waiting for you. Let me tell you, this time you must seize the opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qiwen exclaimed joyfully, "Dong Jian, you are quite something, returning so quickly and not embarrassing me. I will send you a text message; hurry over to find me at this address."
Chu Xixue noticed something unusual between the two and pressed further: "Bai Rou, why are your and Dong Jian's faces so red? Is it that you two..."
Luo Qiwen chuckled and said: "Let me finish my story. The girl with somnambulism was so severe that she brandished a knife over the heads of other female classmates while sleepwalking. Those classmates were frightened and discussed the matter, ultimately deciding to rent a house near Liancheng University to live in."
"Aren't you asking me to be a babysitter for someone?" Dong Jian asked, somewhat angrily. His best friend had actually asked him to take care of a person he didn't even know.
