mind her father buying him a bike, despite disliking this brother of hers. After all, Zeng Na was well aware of the bigger picture: although she didn’t like this little brother much, he was still her...Chapter 171: Still Better

When Xiao Mian saw Su Can holding a bouquet of flowers approaching the clearly shocked Ming Nan, he was taken aback. "Su Can, are you really so desperate for a shield This is just too ruthless."

Su Can started to feel sorry for that guy in front of him. There wasn't any right or wrong on this matter, and it certainly didn't matter at all when faced with Lin Luoran. If Su Can had known the outcome would be like this, he wouldn't have stepped into the university gates in the first place.

The figure ahead froze as they held up the flowers, and the expression of the student leader was bleak. This must be the most miserable defeat since starting college. Afterward, many people may not remember what they learned that year in their language class or where they had their first drunken night out, but such events often leave indelible marks on university life.

Shi Rui looked at Lin Luoran and saw the two holding hands and carrying a cup of milk tea. The look of purity on her face was evident when she grasped Su Can's hand, radiating absolute calmness. This sense of calm caused the Spanish student leader to let go helplessly, causing many petals to fall off the flowers.

He then pursed his lips and even this crestfallen expression looked rather handsome on him. Turning around, he passed the bouquet to a friend beside him with ease and grace, which earned him much admiration from others. There were even girls who supported him; as for Su Can, they probably thought of him as some reckless troublemaker.

No one would have expected such an absurd outcome that might otherwise have been a heated event throughout the entire university campus.

Like a third-rate soap opera and like this suddenly annoying youth.

In everyone's so-called youthful phase, there are always some impulsive moments due to hormones of love or dopamine for career advancement that result in things looking ridiculous even years later. Whether it be nostalgia or regret, they still leave one with goosebumps and trembling excitement just thinking about them.

Life is full of surprises; not only did the student leader find this unexpected, but Su Can also felt the same way.

He should have known that a girl like Ling Ran would inevitably have her extraordinary moments. Even though he had come into this grand era with a mindset of seeing through the superficial, there were always little surprises that would fall upon him unexpectedly, much like bricks falling from the sky.

Not only did his presence influence and tie the destinies of those around him, but their lives also deeply entangled his own in an overwhelming way. He couldn't help but feel immersed in their experiences.

Su Can let out a sigh as he pulled Ling Luoran and turned to leave the dormitory area, swiftly disappearing into the distance beyond sight and light, leaving behind the commotion and possible conjectures.

They only stopped when they reached an area with water and trees. Both were panting from running so hard that anyone seeing them now wouldn't believe they had just escaped a bustling crowd.

Sweaty and out of breath, Su Can propped himself up on his knees to catch his breath. Once Ling Luoran caught her breath as well, she couldn't help but laugh, holding her stomach and saying, "This is thrilling! It's kind of like playing Resident Evil for the first time."

Su Can was amused by her reaction, thinking that Miss Ling really found this interesting, believing their recent sprint to be akin to being chased by countless zombies in a video game.

With an annoyed look, Su Can said, "Tell me what exactly happened. I know from the start you had planned this."

Ling Ran weakly replied, "I didn't expect him to do something so big. Before today, my roommate only hinted at his possible actions earlier in the afternoon. So, I was quite anxious and asked for your help."

Su Can sighed, saying, "This is what you call a good thing

"It's a good thing, isn't it Didn't I let you hold my hand for free"

"Lin Luanran said.

Su Cen thought that this was quite a mature remark. Helplessly, he said, "You could have told me beforehand though. Even if you wanted to make it easier for me to cooperate, I still needed some psychological preparation. Actually, I think the guy dressed as a scarecrow looks pretty good. He seems very carefree and should meet your expectations of an elite man."

Lin Guran shook his head and said, "Can such matters be forced"

Su Cen was speechless. Earlier, Lin Yin had blocked Lin Luanran's face. Now that Su Cen was closer, he could see her tear-streaked face under the dim light. Her eyes were slightly red, with a hint of crystal-like moisture. He couldn't tell if she had been crying or laughing earlier.

Su Cen paused and asked, "Am I bullying you Or are you regretting something"

Lin Luanran shook her head, her voice slightly choked. "No, it's just that my heart feels inexplicably sad."

It seemed quite normal; they had passed through the noisy crowd of onlookers and hecklers earlier, along with the guitarists who played to accompany them and those holding bouquets confessing their love. All these events looked splendid in this era and stage, but even if one rejected them, it didn't mean that one would be completely unaffected. Su Cen looked at Lin Guran, recalling her strong personality like a boy when facing Wang Weiwei's group. Yet, the usually tearless Lin Muran was now shedding tears for the first time in front of him. But was this really the reason

Su Cen sat down on the stone block, gazing at the school’s towering tree shade while a gentle breeze occasionally brushed past him. He stayed there beside the grey-dressed girl who was crying for quite some time.

It wasn't until the late-night自習室的人群陸續返回，預示著一天真的要在這樣的夜晚落下帷幕。林絡然接到了好幾個宿舍樓室友的電話，詢問她什麼時候回去，顯然今天的事情對這座學校來說並不平靜。

林落然說我冇事就是靜一靜掛了電話，對蘇燦說“我們回去吧。”

It wasn't until the late-night study room crowd started returning that the day truly came to a close in such a night. Lin Luoran received several calls from her dorm mates asking when she would return, indicating that today's events had not been calm for this school.

Lin Luoran said she was fine and just needed some time to herself before hanging up. She then told Su Cen, "Let's go back."

When the two of them stood up, she suddenly said, "Su Cun, what if one day I can't remember what you look like"

"Slap my bottom, am I that easy to forget" Su Cun replied.

"I'm talking hypothetically," Lin Luoran chided with a giggle. "But it's not impossible either; if I meet too many talented young men, I might really end up forgetting."

"Then I'll just stare at you until you remember me."

Not the best answer.

However, after Lin Luoran returned to her dorm room that night with a spring in her step, the girls were convinced that this time, Xieshui Network's Spanish department was truly going to be cannon fodder. A large-scale battle orchestrated by various departments had shaken the apartment area with its elaborate staging and direction, yet it tragically fell flat before the light-hearted scene of two young people sipping tea and holding hands.

Next came digging into who exactly the boy holding Lin Luoran's hand was. "Lin Guoran, you're being unfair! How can you keep your roommates in the dark"

In the dormitory, Lin Luoran had long since returned to her usual demeanor, far from the tear-streaked appearance she showed Su Cun in some secluded part of their school. She said, "It's Su Cun from Nanda University." At the near-eye-popping expression from her roommates, she added, "I just asked him for help temporarily; it’s a normal relationship."

The girls exchanged sultry and shrewd glances連連說，“是啊是啊，我們都知道知道。”

Standing on the balcony, Lin Luoran didn't know if Su Cun had already hailed a taxi or safely returned to school. But she felt that the two hours he spent consoling her in a corner was even more heartwarming than watching Li Luo’s strong and sturdy back as a teenager, thinking about marrying him someday.

This volume is coming to an end; I'm feeling blocked today and managed to only update one chapter. Three updates tomorrow.ls."Mom was stunned on the spot for a while before reacting, repeatedly saying,"She's capable, this girl is too capable!"Su Cen shook his head helplessly and thought to himself that he had now become...
