Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

"As for having a partner... if I said I don't have one, would you believe me?"

Su Yu hesitated for a long time before asking weakly.

Everyone shook their heads in unison: "We don't believe it."

Even Lin Ting, who knew perfectly well that Su Yu didn't have a boyfriend, joined in the teasing.

Of course she knew Su Yu didn't have a boyfriend, but... who told her to subtly criticize her earlier?

She never holds grudges.

Because she would settle a score on the spot.

Su Yu sighed deeply and said bitterly, "I really didn't. You all saw what happened today. I didn't mean to..."

She glanced at Zheng Miaoying somewhat awkwardly, then changed her words: "I need to focus on my studies right now, and I'm not in good health, so I don't want to date. That's why I said I have a boyfriend, to avoid bothering them."

When Su Yu paused, everyone unconsciously glanced at Zheng Miaoying.

Zheng Miaoying sensed it. She shrugged and said with an extremely serious expression, "Actually, you don't need to hide anything. I really won't care about him anymore."

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Wu Yan and Li Zhi exchanged a glance and asked Su Yu in unison, "You really don't have a boyfriend?"

"Really." Su Yu nodded, then made a shushing gesture. "But don't tell anyone, or I'll be in big trouble."

"Don't worry, I won't tell."

Wu Yan and Li Zhi were the first to express their opinions.

Although they love to join in the fun, they also know what things shouldn't be said to outsiders.

Leaving aside the distant future, what if Chen Jun finds out? Wouldn't that cause them more trouble?

Even if it's just for their own peace and quiet, they certainly won't say anything.

“Your troubles don’t end there,” Lin Ting suddenly said.

Su Yu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Lin Ting shrugged: "Don't forget what Chen Jun's father does. Although he was transferred to the Fourth Hospital, his family didn't move. If he really wanted to find out whether you went to the hospital alone or with someone, it wouldn't be difficult for him at all."

Su Yu's pupils constricted, her eyes filled with terror.

This time, Lin Tingzhen wasn't trying to scare her. She seriously suggested, "If you really don't want to find a partner, why don't you find a friend or something to pretend to be one and bring him around the school to make it official?"

Su Yu pursed her lips and said softly, "I only have one male friend, but he's not good enough."

"This……"

The girls looked at each other.

Just as Lin Ting was about to suggest that she hire someone at the labor market, Wu Yan raised her hand: "How about I have my brother help you with your performance? He's on vacation and at home right now."

Su Yu's eyes regained their light: "Really? Is it okay?"

Wu Yan nodded, then added, "But he's not good-looking at all."

Su Yu shook her head vigorously, saying confidently, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I've never been someone who cares about looks!"

Wu Yan responded and stood up, saying, "Then I'll call my brother and ask him to come to school tomorrow."

Lin Ting handed him the mobile phone directly: "Make the call in the dorm. If you use a public phone, everyone will know."

Wu Yan tensed up instantly, licked her lips, looked at the mobile phone in Lin Ting's hand, and whispered, "I'm afraid I'll break it for you."

Lin Ting: "Don't worry, it'll be fine to use it to crack walnuts."

"..."

That being said, Wu Yan still trembled a little when using the mobile phone. She held it with both hands, afraid that she might drop it if she wasn't careful.

Wu Yan explained the situation to her brother as concisely as possible, then urged, "Brother, are you coming or not? Just give me a straight answer."

Wu Yan blushed after hearing something the person on the other end of the phone said.

She said, "If you don't come, I'll tell Dad you hit me!"

"I don't care, that's just what I'm saying..."

"Okay, then come tomorrow morning. It would be best if you also accompanied my roommate to one class... Are you going or not? If you're not, I'll tell Dad you hit me..."

Wu Yan begged for nearly two minutes before finally hanging up the phone, satisfied, and returning the cell phone to Lin Ting.

Lin Ting: "Brotherly love and sisterly respect."

Su Yu was quite excited and thanked them, saying, "Thank you so much for helping me. I'm very, very grateful. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow!"

Wu Yan waved her hand dismissively: "It's alright, it's nothing."

What she didn't say was that if Su Yu Ruo really confirmed this, she would be helping more than just herself.

She and Li Zhi would no longer have to face the incredibly awkward scenes of Chen Jun causing trouble.

……

The next day, Wu Yan's brother, under duress, actually came.

He appeared right on time downstairs at the girls' dormitory and stood silently under the tree.

In the past, Su Yu always had to arrive at the classroom well in advance because she walked slowly. Today, the entire 234 dormitory set off early, planning to discuss some details on the way.

There weren't many people downstairs at the dormitory at that moment, making Wu Yan's brother quite conspicuous.

“That’s my brother, his name is Wu Fei,” Wu Yan said softly. “I won’t say I know him, otherwise it would be weird.”

“Indeed, otherwise it would be too obvious,” Lin Ting echoed softly.

Li Zhi tugged hard at Wu Yan's clothes, her face flushed, and said, "Yanzi, you're lying! Your brother is clearly very handsome!"

Wu Yan looked completely bewildered: "Huh? He's handsome? What's so handsome about him?"

Perhaps in her younger sister's eyes, her brother's appearance could never be described as good or bad. At least in Wu Yan's opinion, her brother was simply a person.

While the girls chattered away, Su Yu, unusually, stood still, staring intently at Wu Fei.

Her stunned expression startled Zheng Miaoying so much that she almost shoved two more pills into her mouth.

Lin Ting raised an eyebrow.

Oh wow, there's some juicy gossip, a really big one.

Wu Fei's expression froze for a moment when he saw Su Yu, but he quickly recovered and walked straight to the girls, asking Wu Yan, "Which one?"

Wu Yan pointed directly at Su Yu: "Her."

Wu Fei's pupils trembled slightly; he seemed to really want to strangle his younger sister.

Completely unaware of her surroundings, Wu Yan looked around and, seeing no one nearby, quickly recounted the little story they had prepared during their late-night chat to Wu Fei.

Wu Fei glanced at Su Yu, his voice somewhat muffled: "It has to be me?"

Wu Yan chickened out in front of her brother, clasping her hands together in a pleading gesture: "Brother, please, we really can't find anyone else. If you don't help, that madman will definitely keep bothering Su Yu..."

Wu Fei frowned slightly and nodded: "Okay, let's go then."

The other four girls, besides Su Yu, all took a big step back, as if entrusting Su Yu to him.

Wu Fei: "..."

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Wu Yan became a little anxious and whispered a reminder: "Brother, help her with her bag! Her classmate will be coming out soon!"

Wu Fei glared at his younger sister again, then silently reached out his hand to Su Yu.

Su Yu pursed her lips and handed him the schoolbag.

"Thank you," she said softly, her eyes lowered.

Wu Fei grunted in agreement and walked out, carrying his schoolbag.

His pace was very slow, which was very consistent with Su Yu's usual slow pace.

Watching the two of them walk away, Lin Ting finally couldn't contain her curiosity and nudged Wu Yan with her elbow: "Yanzi, did your brother know Su Yu before?"

"I don't know, I don't think we know each other," Wu Yan said. "My brother joined the army when he was eighteen, so it's impossible for us to know each other."

Lin Ting: "I don't think you understand your brother."

"Whether I understand my brother or not is not important. What is important is... Lin Ting, your good friend is here to see you."
