Chapter 2

The man raised his hand, holding an umbrella

Just as the lease for her house was about to expire, she returned home, and the first thing she did was open the rental website

It has caused trouble

Xu Manyan: "If you fell asleep, why would you still flip the car!"

Lu Panpan : `` ... ... ''

The secondary bedroom of this large house has always been reserved for Lu Panpan, and she occasionally comes to stay. The bed sheets and duvet covers are already prepared, so she just needs to tidy up her belongings a little to get everything in order

Broad shoulders and a slim waist, a good figure

Finally, she raised her head and clearly saw the face of this person

And this person clearly has the legs of a male volleyball player

Subsequently, the leg enthusiast Lu Panpan glanced down at this person's legs again—acceptable, very acceptable

With a flick of Xu Manyan's eyebrow pencil, a substantial line was drawn immediately

Only four years after graduation, everything that was once squandered relying on the family's wealth must be repaid

After Xu Manyan graduated, her family bought her a riverside apartment, which not only offers convenient living but is also located next to the prestigious financial university, Yunhe University

Lu Panpan turned over and poured out everything that had happened in the past few days

"Um..." Xu Manyan said, "I'll come back once my family relents."

Lu Panpan chuckled lightly: "You also have a day of mishap."

The ancient campus exudes an overwhelming atmosphere of academic excellence. When Lu Panpan saw several young men with bald heads sitting on the lawn, passionately arguing over a few sheets of paper until their faces turned red, she even felt a bit suffocated

After finishing speaking, Xu Manyan continued to apply her makeup, while Lu Panpan organized her wardrobe. The two of them remained on video without saying a word.

Xu Manyan: "Let us get to the point, why do you have so much time to video call me today?"

Xu Manyan: "The result is that her ID card fell out, and she is actually only seventeen?! What kind of underage person is acting so wild?!"

Suddenly, someone patted Lu Panpan on the shoulder

"It wasn't my fault!" Xu Manyan irritably brushed aside her bangs, "He had already come to my room, but he was so stiff and constrained. I noticed he was feeling uncomfortable, so I thought I would guide him a bit. I asked him if he was hot, and he said he was, so I suggested he take off his jacket. And then, well..."

Just now, he approached the newsstand and saw a petite girl with a delicate profile, her hair already soaked, standing on tiptoe and pointing at the only baked sweet potato in the oven, her eyes sparkling as if she had never eaten a baked sweet potato in her life. At that moment, he unexpectedly felt a surge of protectiveness.

To whom does that inexplicable sense of protectiveness truly belong, the girl caught in the rain or the last sweet potato in the oven

The boss put down his phone, stood up, and took out a paper bag, ready to pack it for Lu Panpan. Suddenly, he looked up and glanced at something behind Lu Panpan, and then he stopped his actions

After she walked a few meters, she suddenly realized something was wrong, where is my sweet potato

On the other side of the screen, Xu Manyan sat in front of the makeup table, grimacing as she clamped her eyelashes.

Lu Panpan completed this series of glances in no more than three seconds, and immediately, she expressed her confusion with a questioning look.

Lu Panpan had received numerous advances from the opposite sex since she was young, so she was not surprised. Calmly accepting the umbrella, she said: "Thank you, then please leave your phone number with me, and I will return it to you the next time I come."

"Let's not talk about that." Xu Manyan leaned closer to the camera, "Why are you tidying up your clothes?"

Lu Panpan knocked on the door marked "Stop Reporting," and the boss looked up from his phone

Lu Panpan: "Do you know of any companies that are hiring friends?"

After a busy morning, Lu Panpan ordered takeout. Upon waking from her nap, sunlight was streaming through the curtains and onto the bed

What happened

First, do not pursue those who are already in a relationship; second, do not pursue those who are infatuated; third, do not pursue minors

Lu Panpan called for a car, but the driver informed her over the phone that he could not enter the school.

The man frowned slightly, and Lu Panpan was uncertain if she detected a hint of impatience on his face

Lu Panpan thought for a moment, and it was done

Xu Manyan and Lu Panpan hit it off at their first meeting in high school, and for three years, they were almost inseparable. After the college entrance examination, Lu Panpan was admitted to Qingyang University, while Xu Manyan only managed to get into a third-tier university. However, in order to attend the same university as Lu Panpan, she leveraged various connections within her family to secure her place at this key university

Why are you hitting me

Lu Panpan was feeling anxious when the class bell rang, and a large group of students poured out of the teaching building ahead.

What do you want

After receiving the roasted sweet potatoes and making the payment, Gu Qi turned and walked into the rain

The man pushed the umbrella forward a little bit

This is too much! They are all worthless! Xu Manyan slammed the table, causing lipstick to spill everywhere. I have long said that your coach is a scumbag, and those students of yours are nothing but a bunch of ingrates! When I come back, if I don't take them down, I will write my name backwards!

The new job has not yet been confirmed, which prevents her from deciding where to move next

Xu Manyan: "I am not inquiring about these matters, what is it?"

While she was wiping with a cotton swab, she said: "How could you resign when everything was going so well?"

As she turned her head, she saw the man behind her pointing at the only roasted sweet potato to the newsstand owner

Approximately twenty minutes later, Xu Manyan adjusted her hair in front of the camera and casually said, "You have no idea, I almost had an accident a few days ago"

"It's amusing," Lu Panpan said, "Clearly, it was you who flirted with her, yet you blame her for being promiscuous."

The weather in early May is neither cold nor hot, making it just right for spring outings

Lu Panpan had no choice but to hide under the eaves of a stopped stall. As soon as she stood still, she saw a fist-sized sweet potato rolling on a small oven that was also stopped. The skin had already split open, and steam was rising from the orange-yellow filling, with every whiff of sweetness calling out to Lu Panpan

Initially, Lu Panpan rented an apartment across from Qingyang University Street for convenience. Now that she has resigned, the situation has become quite unpleasant, and she no longer wishes to encounter these individuals daily.

It is raining heavily, you should take an umbrella

Lu Panpan: "I don't know, the new job hasn't been confirmed yet, I just really don't want to live here anymore"

Lu Panpan took out a packing bag and stuffed all the winter clothes into it

As soon as Xu Manyan saw this, she stopped applying mascara and immediately changed her profile picture to the long-stored unflattering photo of Lu Panpan.

Summer rains always come unexpectedly, catching people off guard

Beneath the clean and neat black short hair lies a fair and pristine face, characterized by sharp eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin lips. The contours are profound and rugged, yet the slightly upturned peach blossom eyes, carrying a hint of drowsiness, add a touch of languor and softness to this face.

Lu Panpan understood Xu Manyan; since childhood, her thoughts had never been on studying. Relying on her beauty and wealth, she frequently changed boyfriends. However, these were all fleeting romances, and she never took them seriously in her heart. Even so, she still had her principles.

Boss: "The last one was almost sold; you arrived just in time."

Xu Manyan could not escape the pressure of her family to marry. The suitors she encountered were either the younger son of a real estate tycoon or the second son of a steel magnate. Thus, she simply packed her bags and fled to the Maldives

Lu Panpan: "Get to the point!"

As the cold, icy rain beat down haphazardly on his face, he began to doubt whether he was a fool

No need, this is a shared umbrella for the teaching building, you can return it directly to the teaching building

Lu Panpan packed a whole bag of winter clothes and piled it in the corner, "I want to move, I'm looking for a place."

The next day, Lu Panpan called a moving company to move all her belongings to Xu Manyan's house

Just as the words were spoken, Lu Panpan swiftly changed this screenshot into her profile picture

"Received," Lu Panpan said, "We will talk again when you dare to come back"

Here, the faint sound of the class dismissal bell can still be heard. Lu Panpan felt a stir in her heart and changed into a comfortable outfit before heading to Yunhe University

Xu Manyan: "Where are you moving to? Is it far from my home?"

As she turned her head, the first thing that caught her eye was a black sweatshirt

Xu Manyan: "Then why don't you stay at my place? I have a spare room anyway. I invited you before, but you didn't come. Now that you are out of work, you can help me look after the house. You have the keys too."

Xu Manyan: "Last week, I met a handsome guy from China at the hotel. He wasn't exceptionally good-looking, but he resembled my first love, you know? Moreover, he was very innocent; just looking at him made him blush.

Lu Panpan immediately felt as if she had been humiliated by a roasted sweet potato

Lu Panpan: "I have resigned"

This ... ...

Some people can encounter a romantic affair in the rain, while others can only run in the rain like a drenched chicken

Lu Panpan felt troubled for a while, then lay down on the bed and took out her phone to video call Xu Manyan

Lu Panpan pointed at the oven and said, "This roasted sweet potato."

Lu Panpan belongs to the latter

During her years working with the men's volleyball team, she reached a conclusion: when it comes to leg strength, no one dares to claim the top position after the men's volleyball players.

When selecting the rental area in the first dropdown menu, Lu Panpan found herself in a dilemma

After taking a stroll around the playground and enjoying the breeze by the famous lake at Yunhe University, Lu Panpan felt completely refreshed. However, upon opening her eyes, she discovered that dark clouds had covered the sun, and it seemed that rain was imminent

Upon hearing this, Lu Panpan naturally did not insist any longer. She softly expressed her gratitude once more and then opened her umbrella and walked into the rain

Hmm? Lu Panpan blinked her eyes, and on a rainy day, her eyes appeared particularly bright and watery

Lu Panpan did not even lift her head and said: "Did you fall asleep?"

The rain is getting heavier; it started as a light drizzle, but now it has turned into a cold, icy rain that relentlessly beats against Lu Panpan's face

On the way back, Gu Qi was constantly pondering a question

Here you go

Seeing that Lu Panpan did not speak, Xu Manyan paused for a moment and said: "Lu Panpan, are you taking screenshots again"
