Su Jingjing blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Zhuo without saying a word

Su Jingjing always reports Gu Rong's situation to Gu's father over the phone, but recently it has been difficult for her to express herself. Su Jingjing does not like to lie, so she can only be as brief as possible, remaining silent on many matters concerning Gu Rong.

Li Zhuo, having laughed enough on the side, finally walked up to the stage, took the microphone, and pretended to say: "Sister Jingjing sings quite well, what are you all laughing at?" Then, deliberately calling out Gu Rong's name, he continued, "Gu Rong, Sister Jingjing is clearly singing for you, can you please pay a little more attention? Still laughing!"

Seeing this, Su Jingjing, although reluctant, had no choice but to get into the car

Su Jingjing looked at Gu Rong's mocking expression, and a wave of inexplicable sadness suddenly surged within her, a sadness built upon her trust in Gu Rong. Li Zhuo stood beside Su Jingjing; no matter how much he ridiculed her, she could choose to ignore it. However, Su Jingjing had always regarded Gu Rong as a friend. Shouldn't friends take care of each other?

Li Zhuo only felt a figure flash before his eyes, and then he heard the sound of the door being pushed open and then closed. In an instant, Su Jingjing, who was beside him, disappeared. Li Zhuo, with ill intentions, walked over to Gu Rong and asked: "Aren't you going to chase after her?"

Su Jingjing looked at the hand extended by Li Zhuo, making no move to reach for it, but instead turned her gaze towards Gu Rong

"Why pursue her?" Gu Rong observed coldly, "She won't be in any danger."

Oh, why did it run away

Su Jingjing stood under the tree, watching the moonlight filter through the leaves and branches, casting a gentle glow on the ground. The branches swayed in the cold wind, producing a rustling sound. The boys' dormitory was enveloped in tranquility, with only a few individuals occasionally stepping out to fill their thermoses with hot water.

Gu Rong glanced at Su Jingjing and ultimately said to her, "Let's go, we can talk on the way." After saying this, he got into the car first

Everyone was laughing together, some even rolling on the sofa. The noisy sounds of merriment made Su Jingjing wish she could find a crack in the ground to hide in. She stood on the stage, subconsciously searching for Gu Rong's figure. After a long time, she finally spotted him, only to find that Gu Rong was engrossed in conversation with a tall, long-legged beauty with curly hair beside him, occasionally casting a glance at Su Jingjing, but the indifference in his gaze left her feeling at a loss.

The temperature difference in autumn is significant; during the day it can be unbearably hot, yet at night it turns cold with a chilling wind. In the pitch-black dormitory area, only the lights at the entrances of each building are illuminated. A few people form a small group, huddling their necks and walking hurriedly. Su Jingjing, dressed in a pink tracksuit and plastic slippers, heads towards the entrance of Gu Rong dormitory. She does not dare to walk too close, for ever since she twisted the arm of the dormitory manager last time, he looks at her as if he has seen a ghost every time he spots her.

Before this, Su Jingjing had never sung with so many strangers, so this time she sat awkwardly in the corner of the sofa, watching Gu Rong and his so-called brothers drinking and laughing together, accompanied by a group of tall beauties. A crowd of people was bustling about, joking without restraint, sometimes bursting into loud laughter, sometimes engaging in grand discussions, while she could only curl up in a dark corner.

Li Zhuo chuckled lightly and said, "If we don't drink, singing should be fine, right?" As she spoke, she pulled Su Jingjing to choose a song, "Whose song should we sing?"

Gu Rong

Su Jingjing let out a long sigh after hanging up the phone. This situation could not continue any longer, so she decided to find Gu Rong and persuade him once more. She called Gu Rong, but he impatiently said he would be going out soon. Therefore, Su Jingjing decided to wait at the entrance of Gu Rong's dormitory.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Rong asked with a frown upon seeing Su Jingjing

Do you like me? Gu Rong did not answer, merely responding with a sneer.

"Classmate," Gu Rong said flatly, with his hands in his pockets

As Su Jingjing called out, the headlights of a car illuminated, as if a rainbow had pierced through the dim sky, brightening the entire silent night and completely illuminating Su Jingjing, who stood in the corner

"Come, come, come," Li Zhuo clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention, "Sister Jingjing is going to sing, let's give her a round of applause for encouragement!"

The man looked Su Jingjing up and down and said with ill intentions: "Since meeting is fate, Gu Rong, let's take her along to have some fun"

Does that girl like you

Su Jingjing was just about to respond when she was interrupted by a man who had gotten out of the car: "Oh, who is this young lady?"

Finally, Su Jingjing selected a song by Liang Jingru titled "Unfortunately, It's Not You"

Gu Rong, upon hearing Li Zhuo call his name, sat on the sofa laughing heartily as if he were an onlooker, completely ignoring Su Jingjing on the stage

A group of people exchanged glances for a moment, and then they clapped in unison to push Su Jingjing onto the stage

Li Zhuo noticed Su Jingjing walking over with a beer and asked, "Jingjing, why aren't you drinking?" In the car, Gu Rong had told him Su Jingjing's name.

The song "Unfortunately, It's Not You" has a relatively manageable melody in the verses, which Su Jingjing can still handle with some effort. However, in the chorus, Su Jingjing is completely straining her voice to sing, as she is too nervous. The falsetto at the end trembles and twists for eighteen turns without showing any signs of returning.

The man extended his hand towards Su Jingjing and introduced himself, saying: "My name is Li Zhuo, nice to meet you"

Su Jingjing does not understand, because her world is too simple

She

Su Jingjing suddenly sneezed, and during the process of rubbing her nose, Gu Rong's tall figure appeared at the dormitory door

When Su Jingjing was pushed onto the stage by Li Zhuo, her mind was still in a daze. She looked at Gu Rong, who was sitting on the sofa drinking, his deep eyes shining brightly even in the darkness, as he gazed intently at her. Such a focused expression made Su Jingjing feel a wave of panic, causing her face to involuntarily flush, and her hand gripping the microphone began to sweat.

Gu Rong, say something. Everyone is waiting," Li Zhuo said, touching his nose
