I hear you have a pretty girlfriend at school

When Su Xiyan received the photo of the pink scarf, she was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, just short of bristling all over.

With only a few minutes left before class started, Su Xiyan sat in her seat, clutching her phone with a gloomy expression on her face.

Seeing Su Xiyan in this state, the students around her immediately shifted slightly away. They thought, how much resentment did the school belle Su Xiyan have? Was the chilling murderous aura permeating the air around her?

Su Xiyan enlarged the photo Lu Chen had sent her and started scrutinizing the details:

A pink scarf? The workmanship seems quite exquisite?

It can be inferred that the one who knitted this scarf must be a girl, and one with a girlish heart. But her taste doesn't seem that great? The style of the scarf is still stuck in the last century, and the color is a bit outdated too.

But that's not the point!!

The point is, Chen Shuo actually accepted it!! And even placed it on the pillow beside his bed??

This is intolerable!

Su Xiyan's hand gripped the phone tightly, as if she would crush it in the next second.

The resentment+murderous aura emanating from her body nearly scared the students around her to the point of leaving the classroom.

It wasn't until the teacher came in to start class that Su Xiyan toned down a little.

These past few days, she had been trying every possible way to stick to Chen Shuo. The two had even snuggled and embraced each other on the shaded campus trail, and their classmates took photos and posted them on the campus forum where the thread remained extremely popular.

The fact that Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan were together was already known to everyone at Nanli University!

Yet someone still dared to give Chen Shuo a hand-knitted pink scarf??

She really wanted to see which girl was so bold to try and snatch Chen Shuo from her!

At noon, the liveliest place on a university campus is undoubtedly the canteen.

Students who just finished morning classes, many of whom have difficulty waking up in the morning, often don't have time for breakfast. Or they simply don't have the habit of eating breakfast, so by the time it's noon, they are already starving.

In the canteen, students line up to get food, the clanking of lunch boxes and chatter blend together to form the unique symphony of the canteen.

Chen Shuo got his food and found a seat to start eating.

Lu Chen also sat down next to Chen Shuo with a lunch box, and after some brief small talk, he got to the point.

"Old Chen, the pink scarf on your bed, it was given by school belle Su, right?" Lu Chen asked, fully aware of the facts.

Luckily Chen Shuo was focused on eating and didn't notice Lu Chen's awkward expression at all.

"How could it be from her? Look at the way she is, does she seem like someone who would knit scarves?" Chen Shuo felt like he just heard the biggest joke of the century.

Su Xiyan knitting scarves?? What kind of international joke is that?

Lu Chen continued asking, "Oh? It's not from school belle Su? Wow, old Chen, you're quite the charmer!"

"Being handsome just naturally attracts the attention of girls! Come on, honestly confess, which admirer knitted that scarf for you?"

"And it's pink too! I guess it must be a freshman girl."

Chen Shuo shook his head: "Wrong guess."

"No way? Not a freshman girl? Don't tell me it's from a senior girl! Old Chen, you really do get the seniors' affection!"

Lu Chen said enviously: "The four words 'envious of the color purple,' I've already said them to death."

A warm smile appeared on Chen Shuo's face: "Stop guessing! Anyway, it was knitted for me by someone very beautiful, very gentle, and full of love."

Lu Chen had known Chen Shuo for so long, yet this was the first time he had heard Chen Shuo praise a girl so highly.

He didn't forget that he was here on a secret mission from Su Xiyan and had to get some words out of Chen Shuo.

So Lu Chen carefully asked: "So the scarf wasn't knitted for you by school belle Su? And you actually accepted it? Aren't you afraid of pissing off school belle Su?"

Chen Shuo casually replied: "Why would she get pissed?"

Lu Chen: "You accepted another girl's scarf, so what about school belle Su?"

Without thinking, Chen Shuo directly answered: "She doesn't conflict with the person who knitted me the scarf."

Lu Chen instantly felt his worldview shatter, looking at Chen Shuo in disbelief: "Old Chen, I advise you to have some conscience!"

"You scumbag!!"

Chen Shuo: "???"

"How did I become a scumbag?"

"Hey! Little Chen, make yourself clear, don't ruin my reputation. If my image is tarnished, how will I pursue girls in the future?"

Lu Chen: "I really feel bad for school belle Su!"

Chen Shuo: "......"

"Whose side are you on anyway? Besides, there's nothing between her and me. One, we haven't confirmed any relationship, two, nothing has happened between us, so what relationship do I have with her??"

Lu Chen: "Chen Shuo! I advise you to have some conscience!"

After saying that, Lu Chen left with his food tray.

Leaving Chen Shuo still sitting in the same spot, even the food in his mouth didn't taste good anymore.

What the hell?

Since when did Lu Chen get bought over by Su Xiyan? Every sentence was speaking for her! So much for brotherhood!!

And what's wrong with me accepting the scarf my mom knitted? How does that make me a scumbag?

Chen Shuo was still puzzled when his phone rang.

The caller ID displayed four words - Mother Dearest.

Chen Shuo's parents had always been working away from home, and rarely came back. They usually only communicated through video calls or phone calls. His parents had always taken a hands-off approach with Chen Shuo, only suddenly remembering they had a son in Su City when they were free.

"Shuo Shuo, did you receive the package I mailed you?"

Chen Shuo was very helpless: "Mom, how can you still bring this up? It's because of your package that people misunderstood me as a scumbag."

"Mom, please stop knitting scarves for me. I'm grown up now, knitting them pink, how will people see it? Those who don't know will think I have some special preference."

Over the phone, his mother Xu Mei's voice was very excited: "What's wrong with pink? Who asked your mom to want a daughter but didn't get one, and ended up giving birth to a stinky boy like you? You used to wear pink clothes all the time when you were little too, didn't you?"

"Speaking of which, you were so delicate as a child, as pretty as a little girl."

Chen Shuo: "Does that mean your son isn't good-looking now?"

Mother Xu Mei: "What's the use of being good-looking? You haven't even brought a girlfriend back for me to see."

"Shuo Shuo, I heard you have a very pretty girlfriend at school? Is that true or false?"

Chen Shuo: "......Mom who told you nonsense?"

Even over the phone, Xu Mei's excitement could be felt: "Don't ask how I know! I'm just asking if it's true or not!"

Chen Shuo thought for a moment and said, "Almost, but not anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shuo received a scolding from Mother Dearest: "You rascal! What kind of nonsense are you saying?"

"Are you trying to play word games with me? Shuo Shuo, let me tell you, in college, apart from studying, you should also properly date!"
