Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 173 Something’s not right
  Then continue eating and drinking.

Xu Xiuwen has been quietly observing Cheng Lu.

Cheng Lu changed his mind greatly today.

In our previous encounters with her, she was as cold as her nickname, Iceberg.

Xu Xiuwen also encountered several obstacles in front of her.

But Cheng Lu seemed to be a different person tonight. Dong Jun poured her a glass of wine, and she accepted it and listened to everyone chatting.

She doesn't care when boys say dirty things.

She also responds politely to boys who take the initiative to chat. When they toast, she will also raise her glass and take a sip.

The atmosphere at the wine table became more and more lively because of Cheng Lu's arrival.

Later, almost every boy at the table had talked and drank with Cheng Lu.

But there are exceptions.

Yang Baishan has been unable to lose face and refuses to toast Cheng Lu or talk to her.

Xu Xiuwen didn't bother competing with the boys for this opportunity to talk to Cheng Lu.

Yang Baishan was drinking and couldn't help but ask Xu Xiuwen: "What's going on with Cheng Lu today? She wasn't so cold and scary before. Why is it that she doesn't show her face to anyone who talks to her today and responds with a few pleasant words? ?”

Xu Xiuwen thought to himself: "Ask me and I will ask who to go to."

He remembered the scene where he pressed a wine bottle against Liu Liang just now.

Cheng Lu rushed over nervously and hugged his arm.

The nervous expression on the girl's face is still vivid in her mind.

He couldn't help but wonder whether Cheng Lu recognized him.

Dong Jun leaned his head over and asked Yang Baishan in a low voice, "Old Yang, aren't you going to toast Cheng Lu?"

Yang Baishan asked back: "Why should I toast with her?"

Dong Jun said angrily: "Are you a coward?"

Yang Baishan was struck by what he said and was speechless for a moment.

Dong Jun saw his expression and immediately understood. He was not trying to persuade. Instead, before Yang Baishan could react, he stood up and said to Cheng Lu: "Cheng Lu, Yang Baishan already knew that he was wrong about your misunderstanding this morning. , and told us that he planned to apologize to you."

Cheng Lu glanced at Yang Baishan expressionlessly, "If he wants to apologize, why doesn't he say it in person? Why should you say it?"

When Yang Baishan heard this, he was immediately embarrassed and turned his head directly to Xu Xiuwen, deliberately ignoring her.

Dong Jun was embarrassed when he saw his reaction.

Fortunately, other people also noticed the situation and hurriedly interrupted and got through.

Cheng Lu didn't say much, and her eyes drifted along Yang Baishan to Xu Xiuwen.

This was the first time she had looked at him since she came to the table.

The two people's eyes collided. After staring at each other for a few seconds, it was Cheng Lu who took the initiative to look away.

Her face was a little red.

Probably because of drinking.

Xu Xiuwen was stunned for a moment.

Something was indeed wrong with Cheng Lu tonight.

Although Yang Baishan turned his head, he was still paying attention to Cheng Lu secretly.

Seeing her staring at Xu Xiuwen for a long time, she felt a little indescribable, as if she was a little sour and a little astringent.

He couldn't help but ask: "Xiuwen, you said Cheng Lu accepted the squad leader's invitation today. Does she have a crush on someone here among us?"

Xu Xiuwen said nothing.

Yang Baishan hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Xiuwen, Cheng Lu...is she interested in you?"

Xu Xiuwen withdrew his gaze, glanced at Yang Baishan who looked troubled, and asked, "What's wrong, do you like her?"

Yang Baishan quickly waved his hand to deny: "Don't talk nonsense, how could I like Bingshan? Even if I like Bai Yue'er, I can't like Bingshan!"

Xu Xiuwen smiled lightly and said, "If you don't like it, don't ask any more questions."

After three rounds of drinking, everyone in the plumber department was almost drunk and stood up to leave.

Dong Jun was more restrained today and didn't drink much, so he was still sober and took the initiative to pay the bill. A group of people came to the door of the hotel and dispersed into different small groups.

Dong Jun paid the money and came out. He ignored the drunken boys and walked directly to Cheng Lu and said, "Cheng Lu, thank you for the favor today. What happened in the morning, Lao Yang is so shy and embarrassed to speak, I will apologize to you for him." Apologize, don’t get along with him.”

Cheng Lu nodded but said nothing.

Dong Jun continued: "It's getting late today. Let's separate here. I'll find someone to take you back."

Cheng Lu did not refuse.

Seeing that Cheng Lu had no objection, Dong Jun turned around and looked around, thinking about who to send Cheng Lu off to.

Of course most of the boys who were not drunk wanted to send Cheng Lu back to the dormitory, but Dong Jun didn't consider them at all.

He was looking at the people from 412, Yang Baishan to be precise.

He wanted Yang Baishan to send Cheng Lu back so that when there were only two of them in private, Yang Baishan could find a chance to apologize.

Yang Baishan felt Dong Jun's gaze and felt a little complicated.

In fact, he still hated Cheng Lu this morning, but later he felt a little apologetic when he realized that he had misunderstood her.

In the evening, Cheng Lu came to dinner again, and she was no longer a cold iceberg. She chatted and drank with everyone cordially.

Yang Baishan's feeling towards her changed.

Therefore, Yang Baishan did not resist the matter of sending her back to the dormitory. Deep down in his heart, there was even a hint of willingness.

But when he took the initiative to say "I'll send it off" to Dong Jun, he was embarrassed to speak.

So he chose to remain silent.

But at this moment, Xu Xiuwen suddenly spoke.

He said: "Let me take Cheng Lu back. It just so happens that I also have something to go to Jiaotong University."

Yang Baishan was stunned, came to his senses, and immediately looked towards Xu Xiuwen.

Xu Xiuwen's face was expressionless, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Liu Zhihao chuckled and asked, "Xiuwen, are you going to Jiaotong University to meet Xiao Youran?"

This Liu Zhihao simply doesn't want to open any pot.

In front of Cheng Lu, he didn't want to mention Xiao Youran.

Although he also knew that he could not escape after all.

Dong Jun didn't think too much when he saw that Xu Xiuwen took the initiative to send Cheng Lu back to Jiaotong University, and Cheng Lu didn't object.

He first glared at Yang Baishan and then agreed: "Then Cheng Lu will be left to Xiuwen. You have to send her back to the dormitory safely."

Cheng Lu heard Dong Jun's arrangement and walked towards the road without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen quickly followed.

The other boys in the Plumbing Department envied Xu Xiuwen for being able to send the beautiful woman back to the dormitory, but they could only help their roommate who drank too much to leave.

Yang Baishan stood there, looking at the backs of Xu Xiuwen and Cheng Lu, with a somewhat complicated mood.

After Liu Zhihao saw it, he asked doubtfully: "Lao Yang, why don't you leave?"

Yang Baishan looked away and whispered: "Here he comes."

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so depressed?"

Yang Baishan shook his head and said nothing.

On the other side, Xu Xiuwen and Cheng Lu were preparing to cross the road.

There were still a lot of cars on North Street at night. Xu Xiuwen took the initiative to walk to the left of Cheng Lu and reminded: "Be careful."

Cheng Lu said nothing.

The two of them entered Jiaotong University and never exchanged a word.

The Jiaotong University campus has always been beautiful, and after autumn, it is even more beautiful than usual.

The moonlight is like water, the shadows of trees are dancing all over the ground, it is quiet and pleasant.

Suddenly a gust of evening wind blew by, making the leaves on both sides of the road rustle.
