Xu Xiuwen discovered that Cheng Lu was actually quite passionate as well.
At first, he was indeed the one initiating, but gradually, Cheng Lu started taking the initiative, hugging him tightly and not letting go.
Xu Xiuwen secretly compared Cheng Lu with Tang Weiwei.
Tang Weiwei was the type of girl who would say "I can't, I can't" after just a little kissing.
Cheng Lu, on the other hand, became more and more adept.
They kissed for nearly half an hour, their mouths parched, before reluctantly pulling away.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but ask, "Are all dancers as passionate as you?"
Cheng Lu glared at him and then rolled her eyes, finally saying, "Are you trying to say we're all secretly lascivious?"
Xu Xiuwen chuckled, neither confirming nor denying it.
Cheng Lu said, "Do you think I act like this with everyone? I wouldn't even spare others a second glance. You're getting all the benefits and still complaining."
"That's not what I meant. I just didn't expect you to be so forward."
"Why can't I be forward? Who says only guys can take the initiative?"
Xu Xiuwen thought about it and realized she had a point.
However, in 2006, it was still quite rare for a girl to think this way.
But no matter how proactive Cheng Lu was, she only behaved this way with him, which he found particularly gratifying.
Seeing Xu Xiuwen standing there grinning foolishly, Cheng Lu asked, "You pervert, what are you laughing at?"
Xu Xiuwen replied exasperatedly, "Calling me a pervert once is one thing, but why keep calling me that?"
Cheng Lu rolled her eyes again and coyly asked, "Then what were you trying to do with your hands while we were kissing?"
Xu Xiuwen didn't expect her to notice his little movements and felt a bit embarrassed.
"See, you are a pervert. Stretch out your face."
Xu Xiuwen knew what she was planning and immediately backed away, "I'm a man; you can't keep hitting my face."
Cheng Lu scoffed, "You're a pervert, not a man. I won't hit you if you promise not to do anything without my consent next time."
Seeing Xu Xiuwen remain silent, she worried he might misunderstand her intentions.
She explained softly, "We just got together; it's a bit too fast. Do you only want to take advantage of me?"
Xu Xiuwen laughed and said, "Of course not. Even if I can't get close to you, just being with you makes me happy."
Cheng Lu was delighted to hear this, her lips curling up, "Really?"
Xu Xiuwen nodded immediately.
"Then you can't touch me for the next four years of college."
"What?" Xu Xiuwen exclaimed with a bitter face.
"Don't want to?"
"Isn't four years too long?"
"Then how long do you want?"
Xu Xiuwen thought for a few seconds and finally said, "Three days! I can only promise not to touch you for three days!"
Cheng Lu stared at him, making Xu Xiuwen feel uneasy.
Then Cheng Lu burst into laughter, "Calling you a pervert is indeed accurate. Fine, three days it is. But remember, no touching for three days unless..."
"Unless what?" Xu Xiuwen asked eagerly.
"Unless I make the first move," Cheng Lu said with a bell-like laugh, seeing Xu Xiuwen's nervous look.
Although she told Xu Xiuwen not to touch her, she didn't resist or struggle when he sat on the floor of the activity room, holding her in his arms.
They had endless sweet talk.
Until 9 PM.
After turning off the alarm on his phone, Xu Xiuwen asked, "Cheng Lu, aren't you going to have exams soon? Am I distracting you from studying? You've already taken so many days off for the performance; what if it affects your exams? Wouldn't I be the bad guy?"
Cheng Lu leaned against him without turning around, but she could see his expression clearly in the mirror in front of them.
She said, "It does have some impact."
Seeing Xu Xiuwen's face grow serious, she changed her tone, "But I'm smart, so as long as I study hard, it won't affect me much. And besides..."
Her tone shifted again, "I came out willingly. Do you think I'd come out just because you called me?"
Initially, Xu Xiuwen liked Cheng Lu because of his past life's obsession, her looks, and various other reasons.
But now he liked Cheng Lu because of her undisguised favoritism.
Her words made Xu Xiuwen understand one thing.
Whether it was dancing for him, initiating kisses, or sacrificing study time to be with him, the most important reason was that she was willing.
You have to know she had the nickname "Iceberg" in her department.
As an "Iceberg," she didn't show any kindness to others, but she showed him favoritism.
How could this kind of favoritism not make someone happy and give them a sense of superiority?
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but hold the girl tighter.
Cheng Lu couldn't help but scold, "Dummy, you're holding too tight; I can't breathe."
Xu Xiuwen didn't let go but buried his head in her hair, taking a deep breath, enjoying the scent.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Cheng Lu stopped trying.
They leaned against each other, enjoying the quiet moment.
After a while, Cheng Lu suddenly said, "Starting tomorrow, I need to study. Do you want to join me?"
"Join you?"
"Yeah, come to my university. We can study together in the library."
Xu Xiuwen thought to himself that he had just promised Tang Weiwei to study with her. How could he agree to Cheng Lu now?
But if he didn't agree, Cheng Lu would definitely ask why, and he couldn't explain.
Another reason was that if he went to the library with Cheng Lu, he might run into Xiao Youran.
Xu Xiuwen wasn't ready to tell her about his relationship.
Seeing Xu Xiuwen not responding, Cheng Lu asked, "You don't want to?"
"Of course I want to, but the library is too crowded. Didn't you say you didn't want anyone to know about our relationship for now?"
Cheng Lu didn't suspect anything. She thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go to Jiangling."
Xu Xiuwen was shocked; this was even worse.
Not only would he be unable to be in two places at once, but if Cheng Lu ran into Tang Weiwei, it would be like a collision between Mars and Earth, and his fate would be dire.
Xu Xiuwen quickly said, "But you'd have to keep running back and forth. Let's stick with the university library. I can't bear to see you running around."
Cheng Lu was pleased to hear this. She turned her head and kissed Xu Xiuwen's cheek, saying, "The university library is crowded, but the sixth floor is quieter, and it has a self-study room. We can study there."
Xu Xiuwen could only grit his teeth and agree, but he had to find a solution to being in two places at once.
He thought for a moment and made up an excuse, saying, "I'll come to study with you in the evening. During the day, I won't be able to come."
"What are you doing during the day?" Cheng Lu asked.
Xu Xiuwen explained, "It's too noticeable to go to your university during the day. I'll come in the evening. I'll just study in my dorm during the day."
