As the homecoming day was approaching, there were many people on the campus of University A.
Xu Momo suddenly thought that there were so many people here. Would anyone recognize Xu Rui as Lux? She turned to look at Xu Rui and realized that he had already put on his sunglasses. She couldn't help but smile to herself. It seemed like Editor Fan had foresight.
The two of them strolled along the path on the side of the main building.
The weather was good today. The sun was bright but not dazzling.
Xu Momo walked close to Xu Rui with her head lowered. Looking at the intimate reflections of the two people on the ground, she suddenly felt like she was on a date for the first time. She smiled casually and then subconsciously reached out to pull Xu Rui's sleeve.
Xu Rui's arm stiffened for a moment, then he raised his hand and grabbed Xu Momo's finger.
The two of them gradually interlocked their fingers and held hands intimately.
…Now, they looked more like an ordinary couple.
The two of them did not speak for a while. They just walked hand in hand in silence.
In the past, Xu Momo was not used to keeping silent when she was with others. She would always subconsciously look for a topic that could break the silence, or she would feel uncomfortable all over.
But now, she felt calm and at ease. She suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing to spend a whole blank time without saying a word.
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name.
She turned around and saw Yuan Shanshan, her roommate, and two other girls from the same class. They were carrying plastic bags from the supermarket. It seemed that they had just gone shopping.
Xu Momo subconsciously let go of Xu Rui's hand and turned around to wave at the girls with a smile.
When they passed by them, the three girls sized up Xu Rui at the same time.
Xu Rui still didn't seem to be used to being stared at. He raised his hand and calmly adjusted his sunglasses, then silently turned his head to look elsewhere.
"Are you going back to the dormitory tonight?" Yuan Shanshan said to Xu Momo with a smile.
Xu Momo nodded." Yes."
"That's good." Yuan Shanshan glanced at Xu Rui again and pursed her lips into a smile. She lowered her voice and said," Tonight, you have to be honest and tell us the truth."”
Xu Momo was helpless. She knew what Yuan Shanshan was referring to.
"By the way, we're changing our tutor this semester. Did you know?”Yuan Shanshan said.
"Change the counselor? Where's the original Teacher Liu?"
"I'm not sure. I think he went to take care of the freshmen.”Yuan Shanshan said," The new tutor's surname is Zhang. We met him yesterday. I heard that he's a graduate student from C University.”
"C University?" Xu Momo subconsciously glanced at Xu Rui.
Xu Rui did not seem to have any reaction.
"Eh? Speak of the devil." Yuan Shanshan was pleasantly surprised." Isn't that Teacher Zhang over there?”
Xu Momo followed her gaze and saw a young man with a medium build and glasses striding over.
"Teacher Zhang!"
"Hello, Teacher Zhang."
The three girls greeted the new counselor.
Instructor Zhang immediately recognized these students. He stopped in his tracks and nodded at them with a smile. He glanced at Xu Momo,"You're also a classmate of ours, right?"”
Xu Momo couldn't help but feel surprised because he had used an affirmative sentence.
"Yes, my name is Xu Momo." Xu Momo quickly introduced herself.
"I know you." Mentor Zhang smiled." I've seen your photos.”
"You know us just because you saw the photos?”One of the girls laughed and said," Teacher Zhang is that amazing?”
"Yes, I have a photographic memory for faces.”Instructor Zhang said with a smile.
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Xu Rui. Then, he suddenly froze and stared at Xu Rui for a few seconds."…This student, have we met before?”
Xu Rui and Instructor Zhang looked at each other through the lenses for a few seconds.
Then he calmly turned his head away." No.”
"No?" Instructor Zhang stared at Xu Rui carefully, as if he wanted to tear his sunglasses off his face.
Xu Rui suddenly grabbed Xu Momo's hand.
"Time to go." He said coldly, then pulled Xu Momo and left quickly under everyone's surprised gazes.
Xu Momo's hand was held tightly by him, and it even hurt a little.
"Xu Rui?" She could not help but call his name.
However, Xu Rui showed no signs of stopping.
The two of them walked quickly for dozens of meters. Xu Rui pulled her into a small green path and slowed down.
He let go of Xu Momo's hand, licked his lips, and sighed.""…I'm sorry."
Xu Momo rubbed her red palm and couldn't help but ask,""What happened just now? Do you know that person just now?"
Xu Rui did not answer her question for a moment.
He turned to look at the man-made lake and was silent for a moment.
"Let's go over there for a walk." he whispered.
"Alright." Xu Momo nodded.
They walked to the man-made lake, and the breeze blowing from the lake made them feel refreshed.
This man-made lake was a famous dating spot in University A. Couples could often be seen there. Probably because school had not officially started yet, there was almost no one here.
Xu Rui leaned against the railing and took off his sunglasses to look at the sparkling lake.
"The tutor just now is from C University.”Xu Momo leaned against the railing and whispered. She turned to look at Xu Rui's side profile." Were you really a student at C University?”
Xu Rui nodded.
He was indeed from C University! Xu Momo was surprised.
He was admitted to C University, one of the top three universities in the country, but he dropped out halfway…Xu Momo could not help but feel a little regretful.
"I know that person just now." Xu Rui suddenly whispered.
Xu Momo wasn't surprised. She knew Xu Rui knew that person.
"Did something happen between you and him?”she asked.
"No, I haven't." Xu Rui's lips parted slightly and he exhaled softly." It has nothing to do with him. He just saw me a few times in school."”
Xu Momo hesitated for a moment before asking,""Can I ask…why did you drop out?”
Xu Rui took off his sunglasses and glanced at Xu Momo with his dark eyes.
"It's nothing. It's just that I've been absent too many times.”He revealed a helpless smile.
However, Xu Momo felt that this was not the whole reason.
"Did something happen?"
Xu Rui looked down at the lake.
After a few seconds, he slowly said,"That person just now has a friend.”
"Friends?"
"Yes, I am. That person is studying the same major as me." Xu Rui frowned as if he did not know how to describe it." He has always…been biased against me.”
"Why is he prejudiced against you?"
"I don't know." Xu Rui shook his head slightly.”" Maybe it's because I always rank ahead of him in every exam."”
Xu Momo couldn't help but laugh. That's possible."
"In short, during the final exam of my third year, he complained to the invigilator and insisted that he saw me cheating on my phone.”Xu Rui said calmly.
"Cheating?" Xu Momo was surprised.”
One had to know that university was different from high school. The punishment for cheating was very strict. If it was light, the exam results would be canceled, and if it was serious, they would be expelled.
"At that time, a text message from an unknown number came into my phone. The content of the text message happened to be the exam answer.”
When Xu Rui spoke, his expression was indifferent, as if the person who was framed for no reason was not him.
"Why did he go overboard?”Xu Momo was a little angry." Does the invigilator believe what he says?”
"There's no other way." Xu Rui sighed.
"Then…what happened after that?”
"I know that person did it." Xu Rui said softly," But I don't have any evidence. Then, I did something that wasn't very honorable.”
"Did you beat him up?" Xu silently guessed.
Xu Rui looked at Xu Momo in surprise.
Xu Momo suddenly realized that Xu Rui wasn't the type to fight casually. She couldn't imagine Xu Rui beating someone up.
"I didn't beat him up." Xu Rui shook his head with a serious expression.”
He paused for a few seconds and said," I made a color palettes of all the plagiarized parts of his final paper and sent them to all the teachers. His thesis grade has been canceled."
... Uh, this was really like his style.
Xu Momo couldn't help but wonder if Xu Rui was actually naturally black…
"Does he know you did it?" Xu Momo couldn't help but ask.
Xu Rui frowned and thought for a moment. Ever since then, he seemed to hate me.”
"This person is simply too vicious. In fact, he should be the one who should be expelled.”Xu Mo cursed.
What Xu Momo didn't know was that Xu Rui was a complete weirdo at C University.
Although not many people in C University knew Xu Rui, many students in that year had heard of him. He was often absent from class, but he always ranked top in every exam. If it weren't for the cheating scandal and his absenteeism, the teacher probably wouldn't have let him drop out.
"Actually, I wanted to drop out of school.”Xu Rui suddenly said in a hoarse voice," At that time…I just wanted to escape. I haven't considered anything else."
Xu Momo suddenly thought of Xu Rui's mother.
She did not know how to comfort him.
She pondered for a moment before saying,"But everything is fine now."”She turned to look at Xu Rui's side profile and suddenly smiled."Perhaps it was fortunate that you dropped out of school at that time. Otherwise, there might not be Lux in this world, and there would not be Twilight.”
Xu Rui was a little surprised. He turned his head and exchanged a glance with Xu Momo. There seemed to be a flash of emotion in his dark eyes.
"…You're right." He suddenly said and smiled.
Xu Momo couldn't help but be a little dazed by that smile.
She stared blankly into the pair of dark eyes.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth at her waist. It turned out that his arm was wrapped around her.
His palm gently pressed against her body without moving. He did not make any other movements. However, Xu Momo found it difficult to breathe, and the place he touched began to heat up again.
Xu Rui suddenly lowered his head and gently rested his forehead on her shoulder. His breath gently blew on her neck, causing her to itch.
"Xu Momo." He suddenly called her name softly.
