While some unknown changes are quietly taking place in the outside world, everyone in the ivory tower of the school is still living a normal study life.

“......”

Sitting in his seat, Lu Chen turned the pen in his hand while holding his chin and thinking about the problem he was facing at hand.

"So, can you continue in such a situation?"

Recalling Wen Ruyu's previous words, Lu Chen's mood was a little complicated and stunned.

The question she asked was very direct and realistic.

Although resolute and ruthless, it is at the same time so real and inescapable.

Now, because Xia Zhu's identity has changed drastically, the relationship between Lu Chen and her has inadvertently produced some inevitable estrangement.

Although this is not the result of the subjective will of the two, because of the objective suspicion of others and practical reasons, this has undoubtedly affected the relationship between the two invisibly.

"Alas......"

Scratching his head and sighing, Lu Chen couldn't help but seriously think about what to do between himself and Xia Zhu in the future.

Perhaps the only thing that makes him feel a little lighter at the moment is that the current situation is not so urgent, so he doesn't need to make a decision about it too soon.

What's more, Xia Zhu is now taking an exam, and he is about to prepare for the end of the semester.

It's really not a good time to be distracted by these things outside of your body.

After all, as Lu Chen said to Xia Zhu before-

Now, the most important problem they face is their studies.

But......

No matter how much Lu Chen self-hypnotized emphasized this point, he still knew it clearly.

There will come a day when I have to face the choice of my relationship with Xia Zhu in person and head-on.

This is an inevitable level that cannot be avoided and cannot be avoided!

“......”

Clenching the pen in his hand with a "snap", Lu Chen closed his eyes and exhaled a few long sighs of emotion.

"It's annoying, these things ......"

"Hey, Lu Chen, what are you sighing here?"

At this moment, Ma Xiaolan, the idler who has always been famous for being nosy and broken-mouthed, noticed Lu Chen's state.

Originally, the relationship between her and Lu Chen was just an ordinary classmate, and even according to Lu Chen, the two of them had spoken no more than ten words in a few years of getting along.

However, because of the appearance of Xia Zhu.

Everything has changed.

In order to coordinate and match the relationship between her friend and her male god, Ma Xiaolan not only took the initiative to help carry a lot of black pots, but also set a lot of red lines for the two.

If there was really no Sister Ma, maybe Xia Zhu and Lu Chen would have stayed as ordinary classmates all the time, and there would not be too much intersection.

For this reason, Ma Xiaolan also once invited Xia Zhu to treat herself, a big matchmaker.

Of course, Xia Zhu agreed to her request very happily for her friend's joke.

Over time, Ma Xiaolan not only got closer to Xia Zhu, but also the distance between her and Lu Chen has also narrowed a lot invisibly.

Even if it's not an intentional consequence on both sides, it's not a bad thing to have a better friend.

Unexpectedly, not to mention the separation from his friends during this period of time, Lu Chen also disappeared.

There are two missing living treasures at once, which makes Ma Xiaolan, the nosy eldest sister, very uncomfortable, and even she misses the kind of time when she quarreled with Lu Chen more than once.

So, at this time, she saw that a splash friend came back? Of course, she was also happy.

So, she walked quickly in the direction where Lu Chen was, raised her eyebrows at him suspiciously, and asked, "Hey, Lu Chen, what did you do when you asked for leave to go out before?"

"Oh, what do you say, didn't Lao Tan tell you the situation?" Lu Chen raised his eyelids nonchalantly.

For him, Sister Ma is just a nosy idler classmate.

In terms of what can cause trouble, it is really a fight with Xia Zhu in the early days.

And seeing Lu Chen's perfunctory attitude, Ma Xiaolan frowned, and shouted at the top of her voice:

"Hey, you ungrateful!"

Ma Xiaolan slapped his desktop and said angrily: "You don't want to think about who was covering up for you two dogs and men all day long? If I hadn't often helped you cover up and say good things in front of the old class, depending on the arrogance of the two of you, you would have been invited to the office for tea eight hundred times!"

"Oh, then I'm really thanking Squad Leader Ma. Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders and picked up a textbook casually and flipped through it.

[Gain popularity +80 due to Ma Xiaolan's resentment]

"Damn, you haven't answered my question yet!" Ma Xiaolan angrily pulled away his book.

"Tsk......"

The book in his hand was snatched, Lu Chen raised his eyes, stared at her wordlessly for a while, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my sister is sick and has asked for leave to take care of her." ”

"Who believes!"

Ma Xiaolan retorted without hesitation: "Don't think I don't know? You left the school on January 10th, not to mention the time when Xiaozhu was going to leave for the capital? Even the time to return to Jiangchu is exactly the same!"

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world!"

Ma Xiaolan shouted, thinking to herself, isn't this Lu Chen fooling me like a fool?

Who would believe it?

"Sister Ma......"

However, Lu Chen ignored her resentment, and still said with a lazy expression: "Ah, it should be a coincidence......

"Say, did you go to the capital with Xiaozhu! If you don't tell the truth, I'll go and complain to the old class. Ma Xiaolan pretended to be serious and threatened.

To tell the truth, as far as the current situation is concerned, whether Lu Chencheng admits it or not, she can actually guess a rough idea.

But Ma Xiaolan still has a little luck in this regard.

Because she felt that with her understanding of her friend's personality, Xia Zhu should not go on a long trip with Lu Chen for this reason.

After all, when you hear that couples travel alone, doesn't that mean......

Obscene!

[Gain popularity +96 due to Ma Xiaolan's resentment]

“？？”

Suddenly received a prompt in his mind, and Lu Chen glanced at Ma Xiaolan with a confused expression.

As a result, I happened to see that the other party was looking at him with a disgusted look of "the old man in the subway looking at his mobile phone".

“...... Shenjing Bing, I'm afraid it's not better than Xiaozhu. ”

Shaking his head lightly, Lu Chen continued to work on the business at hand.

"I'm going!!When did even the title become so intimate!" Ma Xiaolan shouted in surprise.

I was convinced.

If she was still a little lucky about the possibility she had guessed in her head.

Now that Lu Chen, who has always been cold and rarely talkative, he actually called Xia Zhu such an intimate nickname.

Then it is obvious that the relationship between the two has become a lot closer!

However, Ma Xiaolan couldn't ask the two of them directly like Wen Ruyu on the topic of what step they had reached, so she had to get some information from the side.

and then use her brain to make up for it, and the two of them went through the process completely in her mind in a blink of an eye.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaolan's heart was really mixed, and she grabbed Lu Chen's sleeve and shook it a few times without tears.

"Mom...... Lu Chen, are you really capable?"

In this regard, Lu Chen just glanced at her with disgust, then took her hand to the side, and complained mercilessly: "Poisonous, you, go away, go away." ”

"Ouch, okay, you're getting a long job!"

Ma Xiaolan sat down in the empty seat on the side, lamenting what happened to her friend.

"Xiaozhu, what can I say about you, how can you ...... so early?"

It is said that a woman in love has zero IQ.

Originally, Ma Xiaolan was a little skeptical about this, but the result was ......

Well...... In fact, judging from Xia Zhu's situation that she usually observed with her own eyes, she had long been convinced of this sentence.

"Xiaozhu, you......"

Sighing helplessly, Ma Xiaolan looked at Lu Chen next to her again, and when a pair of eyes hiding behind big-framed glasses quietly looked at him, they were mixed with a lot of complicated emotions.

There is anger and jealousy, as well as an indescribable admiration.

It seems that Xiaozhu is completely fascinated by this Lu Chen.

You must know that she has been with Xia Zhu for so many years, and she has no more personal experience of how proud the other party is on weekdays and how high-spirited she is.

And yet now......

Who would have thought that this "goddess of one middle" holding the moon would be eaten to death by this Lu Chen, who came out halfway?

It's amazing!

Originally, Ma Xiaolan had joked with Xia Zhu more than once in a joking way.

What kind of boy does it have to be to make Xiaozhu tempted and fall in love with him.

For this reason, Xia Zhu himself even said something like "impossible, there can't be that kind of person".

The results are good...... I didn't expect it at all.

And according to the current development, as well as referring to the QQ news that Xia Zhu sent to himself on weekdays, from the original life anecdotes, almost 99% of them are now Lu Chen-related topics.

Xiaozhu has hopelessly fallen in love with the man in front of her, and she is still addicted to it and can't extricate herself.

In this way, maybe the two of them will get married again in the future?

Mom, won't I want to witness a beautiful love from school uniforms to wedding dresses in the future?

"I'll ...... In fact, it sounds quite romantic and beautiful. ”

Thinking of the happiness of her friend wearing a wedding dress and stepping into the marriage hall with her lover, Ma Xiaolan's heart couldn't help but feel a lemon sourness.

So, she stood up from her seat, then walked straight to Lu Chen, and said to him, "By the way, Lu Chen, I have one more thing I want to ask." ”

"What?" Lu Chen raised his eyelids.

For her rare and relatively peaceful attitude, he will not be mean enough to ignore others completely.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaolan breathed a long sigh of relief, and asked, "Lu Chen, have you paid attention to the news on the Internet recently?"

"What's the news?"

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows inadvertently, but in fact, he had roughly guessed what the other party was going to ask.

Ma Xiaolan: "Oh, it's the post of [National Sister], which has been very hot recently, do you know?"

"Of course I do. Lu Chen nodded noncommittally.

Isn't this nonsense, that post was created by yourself, how can you not know the details?

"Hey, then do you think that the heroine in that photo looks very similar to Xia Zhu!"

Ma Xiaolan, who was kept in the dark, was still describing the specific situation in a colorful way.

"Well, it's quite like. Lu Chen replied.

"Damn, then how can you still be so calm! Your girlfriend is about to become a super celebrity! And ......"

"And Ayixia also responded with a blog, right?" Lu Chen directly interrupted Ma Xiaolan this time.

"You know?"

"What's not to know about this?"

Speaking of this, Lu Chenle chuckled, and then said in a calm tone in the other party's surprised gaze: "Sister Ma, you may not believe this." ”

"Actually...... That's what I did. He said with an eyebrow raised.

......

......

【Evening Self-study】

"Students, it's time for class, you have worked hard, teachers. ”

On the radio, a familiar female voice was heard.

With this sound and the ringing of the ringing bell, the students in the class also got up from their seats one after another and began to pack up their homework books and other things piecemeal.

Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but stretch his waist and sighed: "Whew...... At the end of this night's self-study, I feel so nostalgic. ”

"Ah Chen. ”

At this moment, a familiar clear female voice came from the side.

Lu Chen turned his head to look and saw Wen Ruyu standing at the table, with a quiet smile on her delicate little face.

"What's wrong?" Lu Chen asked.

Hearing this, Wen Ruyu bent the corners of her eyes slightly, and stretched out her hand to him and invited him warmly: "Let's go together, Ah Chen, we haven't been together after school like this for a long time." ”

......

Strolling under the dim campus street lamps, Lu Chen and Wen Ruyu were walking on the road to the school gate one after the other.

Lu Chen strode in front of the two, his eyes silently looking at some of the grass and blades around him, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, although he seems to be a little absent-minded, in fact, he still looks away from time to time, taking into account the situation of the girl behind him.

In this regard, Wen Ruyu, who is as smart as Wen Ruyu, is naturally able to understand his thoughts.

It's just that she is just walking with him on the cold-winded campus like this, and she is actually a little dissatisfied with this.

And so—

"Ah Chen, my hands are cold. ”

Halfway through the journey, the girl, who had been quiet all along, suddenly opened her mouth.

"Huh?" Lu Chen turned his head in surprise.

"My hands are cold. Wen Ruyu emphasized again in a calm tone.

"Uh, but I don't have gloves or anything like that......" Lu Chen was dumbfounded.

However, Wen Ruyu said again: "I, hand, cold!"

Deliberately accentuating the tone of a few words, she stopped her steps and stretched out her hand to Lu Chen.

"Ah Chen, my hands are cold. ”

"......!" Lu Chen's eyes were slightly stunned.

But

“~~”

In the cold winter, there is actually a lot of warmth.
