Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402 Are You Crazy, Xiao Mo?

Men sometimes overthink, which can be a good thing, but in matters of love, it may not be so advantageous.

Love is love, and the absence of it is just that; there’s no need for excessive contemplation and concern.

Looking back, if she hadn’t loved without reservation, would she and Shen Chi still be together?

Chuqing is also quite stubborn, but compared to her, Chuqing has clearer distinctions between love and hate. If someone treats her well, she reciprocates in kind.

Now, Xiao Mo has upset this silly girl, clearly because he doesn’t know how to get along with her.

Forget it, Xu Chaomu has decided not to worry about it anymore. After all, none of Shen Chi’s friends have been trouble-free. Birds of a feather flock together, indeed.

Had it not been for Li Beiting’s firm resolution back then, he’d probably be no different from Xiao Mo and Wen Zhiyuan by now.

Xu Chaomu, thinking of this, truly wished she could smack Shen Chi’s friends around.

Each one overestimating themselves, falling for someone and saying nothing, what’s with the pretense of being reserved!

...

By the latter half of July, all the exam scores were out. Without any suspense, Xia Chuqing topped the department in the final exam.

It was just that her overall score only edged out the second place by a few points. Xia Chuqing thought that if she had dwelled on Xiao Mo’s situation any longer, she wouldn’t have been able to claim this semester’s first place.

Well, let go when it’s time to let go.

What upset her the most was when Xiao Mo drove her home that day, and he barely spoke a word to her the entire way.

Afterward, all contact between them ceased, as if they never knew each other.

Thinking it over, she realized she had never truly understood him, not at all.

This time, the university also announced on the campus network the quota for a state-funded study in France for the senior financial students, and again without suspense, it was Xia Chuqing.

Staring at her name, Xia Chuqing absentmindedly gazed at the webpage.

Her cursor moved restlessly, and her heart drifted in the ocean, ethereal without a set return.

Three years later, once she graduated smoothly, she would either stay in France or return to A City...

She had previously joked with Xiao Mo about wanting to join Shen’s, but in reality, it was unlikely she would return to C City...

Staring at the webpage, Xia Chuqing felt completely at a loss.

After securing the quota, Xia Chuqing’s summer became even busier. Xia Yongfang visited her once, and she herself was out early and back late, studying diligently.

After class that day, she went to the library alone to continue her French studies, losing track of time until it was nine in the evening.

Just as she was about to leave the library, she discovered it had started raining.

The rain poured down heavily, as if dumped from the sky, and was accompanied by the rumble of thunder.

She had only stood at the library entrance for a moment when the rain soaked her shoes.

Xia Chuqing hurriedly hugged her books and retreated a few steps...

Looking at the dark sky, she felt helpless. It was clear out when she arrived; she had no idea when the downpour started.

It didn’t seem like a thunder shower, and Xia Chuqing ran back inside the library.

"Excuse me, do you have any umbrellas?"

"Sorry, all the umbrellas have already been borrowed by other students. If you’re not in a hurry, I can drive you to your dorm when I get off work at ten o’clock."

Xia Chuqing felt even more helpless. It looked like she would have to study until ten o’clock, then?

But she seemed to have forgotten to have dinner, and she was so hungry.

Xia Chuqing stood at the entrance for a while, the cool breeze blowing over her body and lifting the long hair on her shoulders.

Her hair fluttered in the wind as she silently watched the torrential rain, like a curtain of pearls.

The raindrops splattered on the ground, bouncing off her shoes and sending a chill across her feet.

She didn’t know whom to call, as all the girls from her dorm had gone home for summer vacation, and only she was still here.

Xia Chuqing stopped worrying about it and silently returned to the library—ten o’clock then, ten it is!

But she had just taken out her books to work on a few problems when a student working part-time at the library came running over and said, "Xia Chuqing, there’s someone looking for you outside."

"Who is it?" Xia Chuqing was very curious.

"I don’t recognize him either—a man, he came by car."

"Could it be my dad coming!" Xia Chuqing got excited, her dad sometimes came to C University by car!

"Uh... that seems unlikely... your dad is that... young?" The student looked puzzled with a frown.

"Huh?" Xia Chuqing became even more curious, it wasn’t her dad?

She hurriedly went out, bouncing and running to the entrance of the library, and when she saw the car, she was stunned.

The license plate was all too familiar to her; it was Xiao Mo’s car.

Why had he come?

Xiao Mo saw her come out and only then did he open the driver’s side door and walk towards the library entrance.

Xiao Mo was still dressed in a suit, a bit of alcohol on his breath, as if he had just come back from some dinner party.

"I thought it was someone else." Xia Chuqing pouted and turned to leave.

Xiao Mo grabbed her hand and pulled her over to him.

"Didn’t you say you didn’t have an umbrella? I’ll take you to the dormitory," Xiao Mo looked into her eyes.

The darkness of the night made his figure look even taller and slenderer, with rain falling on his forehead, his sharp eyes were somewhat muddled and inscrutably deep.

"Someone else is giving me a ride, he’ll be here soon, you don’t need to take me," Xia Chuqing said defiantly.

How did he know she didn’t have an umbrella?

"Who’s coming?" Xiao Mo gazed at her unblinkingly, his eyes growing more intense.

Xia Chuqing shivered and said offhandedly, "You don’t know him, my friend."

"Call him and tell him it’s not necessary."

"Xiao Mo, are you crazy? I didn’t ask you to come. Are you drunk or what? I wouldn’t dare ride with you; drunk driving is dangerous!" Xia Chuqing criticized him sternly.

She could smell the alcohol on his shirt as he came close—really, driving after drinking, reckless as can be, without a single traffic cop stopping him.

He might not care for his life, but she did for hers!

"I didn’t drink much."

Xia Chuqing looked at him skeptically, not much? His eyes were even red.

"I won’t go with you, thank you for the gesture, Mr. Xiao, truly appreciated," recalling Xu Chaomu’s words, Xiao Mo was not one to respond well to pressure, so she had to speak kindly.

While saying this, Xia Chuqing took out her phone and called a pretty good buddy.

That buddy had been her playmate since they were kids, and they both had been accepted to C University, except he was a bona fide rich second-generation; at this time, he’d probably be at some bar drinking.

That buddy was a fierce fighter; he had stood up for Xia Chuqing when she was bullied as a kid.

Just one word that she was bullied, and he would definitely come.

Xia Chuqing, with her arm pulled by Xiao Mo and seeing that he really had drunk too much, had no choice but to call her buddy.

"Hey, Heng Ge, I’m being bullied, come over," she said into the phone.

"Chuqing, where are you?"

"By our school’s library entrance, it’s dark, and some lunatic is following me, come quickly!" Xia Chuqing whispered urgently.

But Xiao Mo wasn’t deaf; with a dark expression, he snatched her phone away from her.
