In the library, Xu Xiuwen suddenly remembered something.
He deliberately furrowed his brows and, with a worried tone, said, "Weiwei, the semester is almost over, and exams are coming up. I haven't attended many classes, I'm definitely going to fail!"
Tang Weiwei heard his words and replied, "It's okay, I can teach you."
This was exactly what Xu Xiuwen was waiting for.
University exams aren't as hard as high school ones, and Xu Xiuwen, having attended University in his previous life, had experience.
Generally, as long as you cram before the exams, you can pass most courses.
Of course, passing here means just barely getting by.
Xu Xiuwen wasn't aiming for great grades; passing was enough.
Most people rely on classmates and teachers for last-minute study sessions.
But he had a natural advantage.
After all, his good friend Tang Weiwei was a top student. Not using such a valuable resource would be a waste.
Xu Xiuwen grinned and asked, "So, if you're going to teach me, are you going to charge me a tutoring fee?"
Tang Weiwei shook her head and said, "No need, you've helped me a lot."
Xu Xiuwen chuckled, "No tutoring fee, huh? But if you're teaching me, then you're my teacher. Out of respect, I should call you Teacher Xiao Tang."
Tang Weiwei blushed.
She wasn't naive; she knew he was teasing her.
Tang Weiwei instinctively wrinkled her delicate nose but didn't say anything.
Xu Xiuwen laughed for a while and waved his hand, saying, "Just kidding, don't get mad, Teacher Xiao Tang."
Seeing Tang Weiwei silent, Xu Xiuwen leaned in and blew a breath at her, causing her to blink.
He gently said, "Teacher Xiao Tang, are you really mad? You're not going to teach me anymore, are you?"
Tang Weiwei blinked and said, "Will you go to the library with me tomorrow?"
Xu Xiuwen thought that tomorrow was Saturday, a rare chance to rest.
So he said, "No rush to study, let's start on Monday."
Tang Weiwei agreed softly.
The two then fell into a quiet silence.
After a while, Xu Xiuwen felt it was time and said to Tang Weiwei, "Let's go, I'll walk you back to your dorm."
After escorting Tang Weiwei to her dorm, Xu Xiuwen immediately returned to his.
After washing up and lying in bed, it was almost 11 o'clock.
He picked up his bedside phone to take a look.
He currently had two phones, a Nokia N90 and a Nokia 7610.
The N90 stored many people's numbers, and many people had his number.
The 7610, on the other hand, only had two numbers stored, and only two people knew this number.
Those two were Cheng Lu and Tang Weiwei.
The N90 received a text message from Xiao Youran.
Xu Xiuwen hadn't had a serious conversation with Xiao Youran for a long time. Since he wasn't sleepy today, he decided to chat with her.
In dorm 301 at Jiaotong University.
When Cheng Lu returned to the dorm, the other roommates were already in bed.
Recently, the temperature had dropped suddenly, and girls tend to be more afraid of the cold, so they went to bed early.
All three were not asleep yet, sitting on their beds reading.
However, only Song Siyu and An Shishi were reading seriously, while Xiao Youran was distracted, holding her book.
Cheng Lu knew about Xiao Youran's relationship with Xu Xiuwen.
From the start of the school year, Xiao Youran often talked about Xu Xiuwen in the dorm.
She had heard so much that she almost grew calluses in her ears.
At first, she also thought they were more than just childhood friends, possibly a couple.
But later she realized this wasn't the case.
Because Xu Xiuwen almost never came to Jiaotong University to visit Xiao Youran.
It seemed more like Xiao Youran was one-sidedly infatuated.
Later, Xu Xiuwen himself admitted that he didn't like Xiao Youran.
This dispelled Cheng Lu's last bit of concern.
Cheng Lu knew Xiao Youran liked Xu Xiuwen, so after she got together with Xu Xiuwen, she didn't tell her roommates, not being one to brag.
As for when and how Xiao Youran would find out, that would be up to Xu Xiuwen to tell her himself.
What Xiao Youran would do after knowing about their relationship, Cheng Lu didn't know and didn't want to guess.
She didn't really care.
Because she knew Xu Xiuwen really liked her.
Although he hadn't directly confessed, every time he kissed her, it was as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
And she had long noticed that the way Xu Xiuwen looked at her was different from how he looked at other girls.
Cheng Lu had this kind of personality; she didn't care much about what others thought of her.
The same went for relationships. Other girls might feel awkward being with Xu Xiuwen, knowing he was Xiao Youran's childhood friend.
But she didn't care about these things.
Recently, Cheng Lu had been learning to knit a scarf from a girl in the neighboring dorm and had made great progress.
Using her newfound knitting skills, she made a black scarf.
The scarf was in her desk drawer.
She planned to give it to Xu Xiuwen tomorrow.
At 11 o'clock, dorm 301 turned off the lights to sleep.
Xiao Youran got into her bed, clutching her phone, waiting for a message from Xu Xiuwen.
Finally, at 11, Xu Xiuwen replied.
Xu Xiuwen's message was a bit slow, but Xiao Youran was still very happy and started chatting with him.
The main topic was about what song he sang at the evening event.
Actually, Xiao Youran wanted Xu Xiuwen to sing it for her again, but it was too late now, and it might disturb her roommates. Besides, she didn't want to share Xu Xiuwen's singing with them.
In terms of feelings, Xiao Youran was never a generous girl.
She remembered in middle and high school, whenever Xu Xiuwen got too close to other girls, she would feel bad and throw tantrums.
Xu Xiuwen always had to spend a long time apologizing to calm her down.
But as she grew older, she became a bit more sensible, throwing fewer tantrums, and Xu Xiuwen also barely talked to other girls.
They chatted until 11:30 when Xu Xiuwen said goodnight.
Only then did Xiao Youran reluctantly put down her phone.
After putting down her phone, Xiao Youran thought about their relationship.
The semester was almost over, so why hadn't Xu Xiuwen confessed to her yet?
Was he worried she would reject him?
Xiao Youran couldn't help but recall the scene of Xu Xiuwen forcefully kissing her that night.
Her face felt hot and she couldn't help but hug her quilt tightly, giggling softly.
In dorm 412, after saying goodnight to Xiao Youran, Xu Xiuwen closed his eyes to sleep.
But he couldn't fall asleep.
During their chat, he had several moments where he wanted to tell Xiao Youran about his relationship with Cheng Lu.
But he hesitated.
In this life, Xiao Youran seemed to have her whole heart set on him.
He felt that if Xiao Youran knew about him and Cheng Lu, she might not be able to take it.
Among the four in dorm 301, Cheng Lu didn't have a close relationship with the other three girls.
Xiao Youran, on the other hand, was especially close with Song Siyu and An Shishi.
Xu Xiuwen also worried that if the other two girls found out about him and Cheng Lu, it would make things awkward for Cheng Lu.
Even though he knew Cheng Lu might not care, as her boyfriend, he felt it was his duty to protect her.
Another reason was that it was almost winter break, and they would soon go home for the holidays.
There was no need to ruin Xiao Youran's mood now.
Besides, once Xiao Youran knew, both sets of parents would know immediately.
Xu Xiuwen and Cheng Lu had just started their relationship, not even a week ago.
He wasn't ready to introduce Cheng Lu to his mother just yet.
