Xu Xiuwen didn't kiss for too long. After all, this was the main road on campus, not some secluded path where no one was around and they could be carefree.
After reaching the girls' dormitory, he pulled Tang Weiwei to a dark spot and sat by the flower bed, letting Tang Weiwei sit on his lap.
There was no one around, and it was completely quiet.
This was one of the rare moments of alone time they had this past month.
Xu Xiuwen asked directly, "I've been so busy this month that I haven't been in touch much. Did you miss me?"
Tang Weiwei didn't answer, trying to escape with silence.
Xu Xiuwen had to ask again, "Did you miss me?"
Tang Weiwei then blushed and nodded.
Tang Weiwei and Cheng Lu had completely different personalities.
With Cheng Lu, she often made the decisions and was more proactive, while Xu Xiuwen was the passive one.
Take the two times they kissed, for instance. Cheng Lu initiated both times.
Tang Weiwei was the exact opposite.
By count, Xu Xiuwen had kissed her more times, but each time he had to initiate it.
No matter how many times they kissed, she was always very shy the next time they met.
Xu Xiuwen really liked Tang Weiwei's shy personality.
Like a blank sheet of paper, it was as if he could draw whatever he wanted on it.
Having just kissed Cheng Lu at Jiaotong University, he couldn't play favorites.
So, Xu Xiuwen kissed Tang Weiwei for a while as well.
It felt great.
Afterwards, Xu Xiuwen didn't forget something important.
"Weiwei, give me your phone."
Tang Weiwei obediently took out her phone from her pocket and handed it to Xu Xiuwen.
It was the phone Xu Xiuwen had bought for her last time.
After the filming ended, Tang Weiwei had insisted on returning the phone to him. Xu Xiuwen had even threatened her, saying if she didn't want it, he would smash it.
Knowing he was serious and not wanting to see such a good phone destroyed, she reluctantly accepted it, even though she felt it was inappropriate.
She still thought she owed him and planned to repay him once she earned enough money, though she hadn't told Xu Xiuwen this.
Now, hearing Xu Xiuwen ask for her phone, she thought he wanted it back.
Without hesitation, Tang Weiwei handed it over.
However, Xu Xiuwen wasn't planning to take the phone back.
Tang Weiwei watched as he took out a phone strap from his pocket, pink in color.
She immediately looked up at Xu Xiuwen in surprise.
Xu Xiuwen smiled gently and explained, "I passed by a small stall just now and saw this phone strap. It looked pretty, and it's a matching couple's set, so I bought a pair."
He took out his phone and dangled it in front of her.
The pink phone strap on his phone swayed back and forth.
Tang Weiwei understood and asked, "How much was it?"
Xu Xiuwen interrupted her, "You're not going to give me money, are you?"
Tang Weiwei nodded, clearly intending to do just that.
Xu Xiuwen rubbed her head, saying, "You can be really stubborn sometimes. Don't be like that, okay? We're good friends, aren't we? What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. Why be so particular? Just accept what I give you."
Tang Weiwei looked into Xu Xiuwen's eyes.
His gaze was clear and bright, yet very serious.
Tang Weiwei knew this was his true intention.
She nodded.
Xu Xiuwen laughed and said, "That's my good girl. I like it when you're obedient like this."
Tang Weiwei blushed.
Xu Xiuwen put the phone strap on her phone and handed it back to her.
Tang Weiwei looked at her own phone strap, then looked at Xu Xiuwen's phone strap, and smiled happily and satisfied.
Xu Xiuwen saw that she was smiling so happily, and her red lips and white teeth were really attractive. He couldn't help but want to kiss her two red lips again.
Tang Weiwei didn't shy away but softly pleaded, "It's getting late. If I don't go back soon, the dorm aunt will say something."
Xu Xiuwen wasn't easily persuaded. He kept his eyes on Tang Weiwei's lips.
Tang Weiwei felt her hands and feet growing hot, her face burning. Trembling, she said, "Next time… Next time, okay?"
She was clearly very shy but still tried to look up at him and say it.
Xu Xiuwen was utterly charmed by her bashfulness.
But he also wanted to consider her feelings, so he nodded, "Okay, then owe me one. Next time, you'll pay me back."
Tang Weiwei didn't know how it turned into her owing him, but she was too shy to argue, so she just nodded.
Xu Xiuwen, although he didn't kiss her again, didn't let her go back to the dorm immediately either.
Though it was 10 o'clock, the dorm aunt usually stayed up until 11, something he was quite experienced with.
Xu Xiuwen hadn't talked with Tang Weiwei for so long, so he took the opportunity to chat more tonight.
He hugged the girl tightly, feeling the soft and boneless body in his arms, his heart was hot, and he wanted to peel the banana peel and eat her right now.
Xu Xiuwen asked Tang Weiwei what she had been doing lately.
Since he didn't continue kissing her, Tang Weiwei didn't rush to leave.
Leaning against him, she quietly recounted her recent activities.
Strictly speaking, Xu Xiuwen wasn't her boyfriend. He was just using the guise of a good friend to take liberties with her.
A month without seeing her would be unacceptable for most girls, but she not only accepted it, she didn't hold any grudges.
Xu Xiuwen reappeared with a simple "I've been busy," and she immediately believed him without questioning.
Now, she told him everything she had been doing, in great detail, without hiding anything.
A girl like this was a rare find.
How could any boy bear to let her go?
Xu Xiuwen asked himself, and he couldn't.
Listening quietly to her recount her past month, Xu Xiuwen sighed, Tang Weiwei was too innocent.
This past month, aside from the classroom, dorm, and a part-time job at a restaurant, the library was where she spent most of her time.
Xu Xiuwen understood why she could score 700 points. It was simple—she worked hard.
Girls as diligent as Tang Weiwei were rare in Jiangling.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but feel how lucky he was to experience rebirth.
And how fortunate to meet her before any other guy discovered her virtues.
If you didn't cherish a treasure like her, you'd be struck by lightning.
From another perspective, successfully wooing such an innocent girl like Tang Weiwei meant one thing.
Xu Xiuwen was indeed bolder than his peers.
As the saying goes, good women fear persistent men.
There's truth to that.
With a personality like Tang Weiwei's, if a guy wasn't thick-skinned and persistent, he wouldn't have a chance.
Xu Xiuwen, with his persistence and thick skin, had indeed won Tang Weiwei over.
