finally.
Zhou Zeran couldn't bear to see Xu Rou about to burst into tears, so he gently patted her hand and said, "I know, don't cry."
He glanced at the sky outside and said to Xu Rou, "It's getting late, let me take you home first."
Xu Rou looked at his unreadable face, not daring to look at Xiao Yu again, and nodded.
Zhou Zeran turned around and escorted Xu Rou back to her school dormitory.
His face was gloomy, and he didn't even glance at Xiao Yu.
As Xiao Yu watched their departing figures, his heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness.
He liked Xu Rou, but it was beyond his control. By the time he realized it, Xu Rou was all he could think about.
Gu Suiwan had been secretly observing Zhou Zeran's reaction, and when she saw him begin to waver, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Even though she realized that Xiao Yu's heart still belonged to Xu Rou, she wasn't as heartbroken anymore.
Gu Suiwan walked to Xiao Yu's side and said directly, "Xiao Yu, you've seen it too, Xu Rou doesn't care about you at all."
As a result, Xiao Yu lowered his head, not looking at Gu Suiwan once, nor saying a word.
A hint of sadness flashed in Gu Suiwan's eyes, but feeling that she had achieved her goal, she didn't bother with whether or not to give the watch to Xiao Yu and went straight home.
Xiao Yu was left alone on the spot.
Looking at the expensive watch on the table, Xiao Yu felt a surge of complex emotions: "Why did Gu Suiwan just leave the watch here so casually?"
Then, he remembered Gu Suiwan's expression when she was injured and felt a little sorry for her.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yu finally decided to accept the watch.
After all, it's not a good idea to leave this watch here; a thief might just steal it.
It wouldn't be good if Gu Suiwan used this as an excuse to pester him again.
......
Night fell like a heavy black silk, pressing down on the campus. The dim light of the streetlights shone on Xu Rou and Zhou Zeran as they walked back to their dormitory.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only their footsteps echoing on the empty road.
Xu Rou secretly glanced at Zhou Zeran beside her. He kept a tense face and didn't say a word.
Her heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand; she was terrified that Zhou Zeran would stop talking to her altogether.
Xu Rou hesitated for a long time before cautiously opening up, as if breaking some kind of taboo: "Zeran, the weather is quite cold today."
She tried to make her voice sound cheerful, but the slight tremor at the end betrayed her unease.
But Zhou Zeran seemed not to hear her words, continuing to walk mechanically, his eyes fixed straight ahead, remaining silent.
Xu Rou's expression gradually became subtle, like a small flower shrouded in dark clouds, losing its original beauty.
She bit her lip, then suddenly seemed to have thought of a brilliant idea. Her eyes lit up, and she pretended to surprise Zhou Zeran.
Xu Rou: "Zeran, I have a gift for you."
She took out a beautifully packaged little box from behind her back. The box shimmered softly under the light, as if it contained endless treasures.
"Zeran, this is something I prepared carefully for you." Xu Rou held the gift in both hands and handed it to Zhou Zeran, her face beaming with a flattering smile and her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Zhou Zeran was stunned, and his steps stopped. His eyes lingered on the gift for a moment, then he waved his hand as if he had touched a hot potato: "I don't need this gift, I can buy my own."
Xu Rouxin felt a chill run down her spine.
