Recently, bad things have been happening one after another. Chen Shuo did not expect that his mother, Xu Mei, somehow heard that he had a girlfriend.
From roommate to mother, Su Xiyan's claws reached quite far.
He wondered what kind of scheme she was plotting.
Chen Shuo only knew that he did not want to keep playing Su Xiyan's games.
At least for now, he was quite hurt. The feeling of being betrayed after trusting someone did not feel good.
He did not want to endure the same pain a second time. The only way was to never set foot in it again.
Chen Shuo did not want to continue on this topic. He quickly changed the subject, chatted about some other trivial things in life with his mother, and asked about his parents' health before hanging up the phone.
As for that pink scarf, since Su Xiyan had misunderstood, he would just leave her be and let the misunderstanding continue. Perhaps this would make Su Xiyan know better and retreat. After all, girls were very jealous, especially strong-willed people like Su Xiyan.
While Chen Shuo was still eating in the cafeteria, Lu Chen had already told Su Xiyan everything about the pink scarf.
A few minutes later, everyone's eyes in the cafeteria focused on the entrance.
Chen Shuo also looked in the direction everyone was looking. Unexpectedly, the person standing at the entrance turned out to be Su Xiyan.
What was Su Xiyan doing in this cafeteria? Didn't she only eat in those expensive private cafés?
The cafeteria Chen Shuo was in had the most people, the cheapest food, and definitely not as nice an environment as those private cafés. How could an aloof campus belle like Su Xiyan come to this cafeteria?
The only thing Chen Shuo could think of was that Su Xiyan's target was himself.
Su Xiyan's appearance in the cafeteria shocked everyone.
The fact that Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo were together was known throughout campus, so everyone guessed she must be here to find Chen Shuo.
So, people's eyes gradually shifted from Su Xiyan to Chen Shuo.
Like an ordinary college student, Chen Shuo sat among the crowd with a tray in his hand, trying to keep a low profile, but still couldn't escape Su Xiyan's eyes.
In the crowd, the first person Su Xiyan saw was Chen Shuo. Her eyes shone brightly. After locating her target, Su Xiyan slowly walked towards Chen Shuo in high heels.
"Sorry, this seat is taken," Chen Shuo did not give Su Xiyan any face.
Su Xiyan sat down arrogantly: "It’s okay, I'm skinny, I can fit."
Chen Shuo: "..."
There were empty seats across from them, yet Su Xiyan insisted on sitting next to Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo slid over, and Su Xiyan slid towards him.
Chen Shuo: ???
"I'm done eating."
Chen Shuo really did not want to continue entanglement with Su Xiyan. Expressionless, he took his tray and left.
Su Xiyan chased right after him, unwilling to lose.
The students present were dumbfounded by this scene.
In their eyes, Chen Shuo had actually snubbed the campus belle Su Xiyan?! How unappreciative!
After leaving the cafeteria, Chen Shuo walked very fast.
Wearing high heels, Su Xiyan kept up smoothly as if gliding on flat ground. This confirmed Chen Shuo’s suspicion that she had deliberately pretended to trip and fall into his arms last time.
This woman, was there anything she did that wasn't calculated?
Behind him, Su Xiyan called out, "Chen Shuo, stand still!"
Chen Shuo was impatient, but felt that things should end here: "Since you agreed for us to sit down and talk properly, then don't wait until Friday. Let's do it today!"
Su Xiyan was overjoyed. She did not expect Chen Shuo to voluntarily suggest sitting down to talk properly!
So the two walked off campus together.
Chen Shuo wanted to clear his head in the park outside campus that afternoon since he had no classes. It just so happened that he ran into the pesky Su Xiyan who was determined to pester him, so he might as well resolve everything at once! That way Su Xiyan would stop sticking to him like a leech.
Chen Shuo was curious to see what other excuses Su Xiyan could come up with.
In fact, Chen Shuo had already started investigating in his own way to find out exactly what had happened at the private kitchen restaurant that day.
The results of the investigation should be coming out soon.
Why not take a gamble before the results came out! Gamble on whether Su Xiyan would tell him the truth!
Continuing along the scenic path outside Nanli University, there was a wetland park with beautiful scenery and a large lake and lush green grass. On weekends, parents taking kids for walks or couples from nearby schools would often take strolls there.
Since today was not the weekend, there weren’t many people around.
Chen Shuo picked a spot on the riverbank with good views and sat down on a bench, browsing emails on his phone, and said, "I’ll give you five minutes to clearly tell me what you want to say."
"As for whether I believe you or not, that's my business."
In fact, Su Xiyan was already very satisfied that Chen Shuo had given her a chance to explain.
Su Xiyan had mentally rehearsed her apology and explanation many times, planning to tell it all to Chen Shuo in one go when they sat down to talk, hoping he would believe her as much as possible.
So Su Xiyan spoke very fast, in the shortest amount of time, she told Chen Shuo everything that happened at the private kitchen restaurant that day in the simplest terms.
This included Tang Zhiyuan's plot and how Tang Zhiyuan had been demoted by the Demon Hunter organization’s senior management. She told everything in detail to Chen Shuo.
Su Xiyan was parched after speaking non-stop.
But Chen Shuo did not seem to react at all, just continuing to watch her.
"I'm done. Do you have any other questions?" Su Xiyan was quite nervous, like a student who had finished the exam paper, waiting for the teacher to grade it on the spot.
To Su Xiyan’s surprise, Chen Shuo nodded casually, "Not bad, very real, no redundant descriptions."
Su Xiyan's eyes lit up, "So you believe me?"
Chen Shuo grunted in agreement.
Su Xiyan was delighted like a child, but immediately became serious again, "Chen Shuo, do you really believe what I just said? Didn't you..."
Chen Shuo replied, "I believe it."
"Because your answer this time was very sincere, very frank, and didn't hold much back. You were so forthcoming, why wouldn't I believe you?"
In fact, on the way here, Chen Shuo had received an email. Through some special means, he had obtained the surveillance footage from the private kitchen restaurant from the days before Su Xiyan's birthday.
The footage showed that this was indeed a plot orchestrated by Tang Zhiyuan and had nothing to do with Su Xiyan.
Moreover, Su Xiyan had been kept in the dark throughout the process.
She said she deliberately prolonged fighting with the vampire, not because she loved fighting or wanted to test Chen Shuo, but because she wanted to know if the person pulling the strings behind the scenes was indeed Tang Zhiyuan. What was his goal in doing this? In addition, she was suspicious about the restaurant being completely staffed with unfamiliar faces that day who claimed to be servers.
It turned out her suspicions were not unfounded. Those people disguised as servers were indeed all demon hunters.
Chen Shuo already knew the whole story, but he felt like he was quite enjoying Su Xiyan's aggressive chase?
If so, why not tease her a bit!

u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her.
