Living Only For Myself: Make Those Who Hate Me Regret It-Chapter 153: Susu, How About We Both Hang Ourselves from the Same Tree?

Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Susu, How About We Both Hang Ourselves from the Same Tree?

Huang Feng was a true bestie. Seeing their shocked expressions, she continued, "Our Susu is so beautiful. If she doesn’t have a few romances, wouldn’t such good looks be a waste?"

Qian Jia had an extremely good impression of Xi Zirong now, feeling he was the very definition of the word "devotion." She was the first to retort, "Even if God Xi goes to college, he’ll still be incredibly outstanding, you know? And our Susu isn’t a player. Why would she fall for someone else?"

She said with certainty, "I think those two will definitely make it to the end. It’s just that God Xi’s possessiveness leaves Susu with no freedom. Other than that, he’s basically the perfect boyfriend."

Xu Su was speechless, wondering how the topic had drifted to this. "Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Xi Zirong is great. I don’t feel like being with him is like tying myself to just one tree. Even if someone more outstanding appears in college, I don’t think I’d fall for anyone else. From school uniforms to a wedding dress—don’t you think that’s romantic?"

The moment Xu Su finished speaking, Qian Jia, who was across from her, shot a strange look behind her.

Xu Su had a bad feeling. She slowly turned around and, sure enough, saw Xi Zirong standing behind her and Huang Feng, the corners of his eyes crinkling with a delighted smile.

"..."

’What on earth did I just say?’

Xu Su thought back for a moment and felt a wave of mortification wash over her....

’School uniforms to a wedding dress...’

’Wasn’t that a bit bold to say...?’

Xu Su’s face flushed red. Seeing this, Xi Zirong considerately didn’t bring up what she’d just said. Instead, he handed her the yogurt drinks he was holding. There were three bottles in total; he’d gotten them for Huang Feng and Qian Jia as well.

Seeing his girlfriend obediently take the yogurt drink, Xi Zirong still couldn’t help himself. He smiled and said, "I won’t fall for anyone else either, Susu. Let’s both tie ourselves to the same tree, okay?"

Xu Su, mortified, snapped, "Xi Zirong!"

The stifled laughter of her two mischievous friends came from the side. Face flushed, Xu Su gave Xi Zirong a light shove. "I’m going to the shopping district with them to buy some things. You can go on your own."

Xi Zirong took her hand and gave it a brief squeeze, smiling as he agreed. "Okay, I’ll head out then. Be careful when you cross the street."

Xu Su: "..."

As soon as Xi Zirong left, Huang Feng couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. "Does God Xi think we’re kids? ’Be careful when you cross the street’..."

"Love makes people blind," Qian Jia sighed. "In God Xi’s eyes, isn’t Susu basically a fragile treasure?"

Xu Su shot them a look and silently drank her yogurt.

She was more or less used to being teased.

After eating, they didn’t go back to the dorms but went straight to the shopping district.

At the shop where Xu Su had gotten her ears pierced the day before, they actually ran into several girls from First High School. There were even some boys there to get their ears pierced too.

When the shop owner saw Xu Su arrive, her eyes lit up. "It’s you! Thanks to you, business has been much better today. A lot of students from your school came by to buy earrings. They said a classmate recommended this place, and I figured it had to be you."

She had a strong impression of Xu Su. First, the girl was just too pretty. Second, she had come with her boyfriend. It wasn’t unheard of for high schoolers to date, but it was rare to see a couple so openly shopping together near the school.

More importantly, the pair of platinum earrings Xi Zirong had bought yesterday were quite expensive for students, which made it impossible for the owner to forget them.

Xu Su waved her hand humbly. "My classmates asked, so I just told them the truth. Your business is good because your shop has nice styles. It doesn’t have much to do with me."

Seeing her modesty, the owner didn’t press the matter.

But after Huang Feng and Qian Jia each picked out a pair of silver earrings, she gave them a discount.

When the three of them returned from off-campus, Huang Feng said goodbye in the hallway and went to her own classroom, while Xu Su and Qian Jia went straight back to the Rocket Class.

As soon as she entered the classroom, Xu Su noticed a milk tea on her desk.

She glanced in Xi Zirong’s direction.

After the midterm exams a while ago, the class had rearranged their seats. Xu Su and Qian Jia were now sitting one behind the other, and since Xi Zirong was so tall, he had been moved to the back row.

Their eyes met. Unlike his pitiful expression that morning after learning they couldn’t eat together, his eyes were now full of mirth, and he was back to being that gentle, polite boy.

The milk tea was iced; it must have been bought just a little while ago.

The thought that Xi Zirong had gone off-campus just to get her a milk tea made Xu Su feel a little sweet inside... More than expensive gifts, it was these little everyday details that were truly touching.

As the weather grew hotter, drinking an iced milk tea was a simple pleasure. However, Xu Su couldn’t drink this right now.

Seeing Qian Jia’s teasing, winking expression, Xu Su handed the iced milk tea over to her and whispered, "Jiajia, my stomach feels a little upset. Can you drink this for me?"

Xu Su’s period had always been irregular, often coming only once every two or three months. But before it arrived, her lower abdomen would feel a little sore and weak. Having been reborn for two years, she had learned a thing or two from experience.

If she drank this iced beverage now and her period came tomorrow, she’d probably be in too much pain to even get out of bed...

When it came to taking care of herself, Xu Su was very diligent.

As a girl herself, Qian Jia understood in a second. Being her dorm mate and close friend, she had seen how pale Xu Su’s face got from period cramps. So, she took the milk tea without hesitation. "In that case, I’ll happily accept. This is a milk tea that God Xi himself went off-campus to get. It must taste even sweeter, right?"

"..." Xu Su looked at her helplessly, then pointed toward Xu Ran’s seat. "Are you sure you want to keep teasing Xi Zirong?"

Qian Jia followed Xu Su’s finger and saw that Xu Ran hadn’t noticed the commotion at all. He was completely absorbed in doing practice problems.

Xu Su / Qian Jia: "..."

Her intention was to remind Qian Jia that she had a boyfriend and should be careful about teasing other guys, lest her own boyfriend get angry. She never expected that Xu Ran wasn’t even looking in their direction...

Qian Jia and Xu Ran had grown closer because of their study group. Their usual conversations were about studying and nothing but studying. Xu Su couldn’t help but sigh. ’This must be what daily life is like for a top-student couple, huh?’ 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Qian Jia took a sip of the milk tea and said nonchalantly, "He’s a total blockhead. Forget about me teasing your God Xi—even if I fell for another guy, he probably wouldn’t get jealous. He might not even notice."

She sighed, "I feel like my relationship is more like playing house. Compared to me, you and God Xi are the ones who are really in a relationship."

"..." For a moment, Xu Su was genuinely confused. Was Qian Jia and Xu Ran’s independent and free style of relationship better, or was Xi Zirong’s wish-they-could-be-inseparable style better?

’Perhaps something in between...?’

At dinner time, Xi Zirong waited for Xu Su to go eat together as usual. On the way, she noticed that he seemed a little unhappy.
