Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Can’t You Tell? I’m Trying to Please You Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Can’t You Tell? I’m Trying to Please You To show his anger, Sheng Chuyi demanded that the girl must write a 3,000-word reflection and only then would he allow her to contact him.
The next morning, he saw Shen Zhaozhao standing at the entrance of the boys’ dormitory.
She was holding breakfast in her hand.
“Ding ding ding… Look, what I have brought you? I lined up early in the morning just to buy this–the big meat buns from Canteen Five.” Shen Zhaozhao waved the steaming breakfast bag in front of Sheng Chuyi and urged, “Let’s find a place to eat, shall we?”
This girl was hardly an early riser.
Sheng Chuyi looked at the breakfast in her hand and asked, “Shen Zhaozhao, what are you doing?”
“Can’t you see? I’m trying to please you!”
Shen Zhaozhao stepped forward and hugged his arm, her voice soft, “I know I was wrong. Please stop being mad at me. I promise I won’t touch alcohol again, not any kind of alcohol. I’ve even told my dad not to use beer when he cooks braised pork at home.”
That might be taking it too far!
“Have you finished your reflection?” Sheng Chuyi saw through her little tricks and went straight to the point.
“Not yet!” Shen Zhaozhao said with a sheepish expression.
Then she quickly flashed a flattering smile at him, “I’m here to discuss this with you. Isn’t 3,000 words too many? Would 500 words be okay?” Seeing that Sheng Chuyi had no intention of relenting, she then suggested as a second option, “Or maybe 800 words?”
Sheng Chuyi was totally unmoved. “3,000 words. Not one word less.”
Shen Zhaozhao looked dolefully at him, “Are you planning to never see me again in your life?”
How could she possibly write 3,000 words?
The essay for the college entrance exam is only 800 words.
Shen Zhaozhao felt that was already her limit.
But Sheng Chuyi was determined to teach her a lesson and wasn’t going to relent no matter what she said.
“Fine!” It’s just 3,000 words. She would write it. She just wouldn’t come to find him for the next few days.
Meanwhile, as Shen Zhaozhao was racking her brains over the 3,000 words, Lu Yao slapped Sheng Chuyi on the shoulder and said, “What’s going on with you and your girlfriend? Did you have a fight? I’m telling you, you can’t do this; girls need to be coaxed.”
“Where did you see that we had a fight?” Sheng Chuyi lifted his head and glanced at him indifferently.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Lu Yao raised an eyebrow, “You’ve been eating all your meals with us these past few days, isn’t that a sign of a fight? Don’t think just because you’re handsome you can do whatever you want. Everyone has their little temperaments. Be careful, or you might really drive your girlfriend away.”
“I think Brother Yao is right,” Hao Congming chimed in, lifting his head, “I heard a guy in the next dorm just broke up with his girlfriend because he was busy preparing for exams and didn’t keep in touch with her. She got mad and dumped him.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Chuyi furrowed his brow and thought of how Shen Zhaozhao looked upset when she left, and couldn’t help but start reflecting: maybe 3,000 words were indeed too much?
She wouldn’t really be mad at him, would she?
Others worried about the couple included the three roommates in Shen Zhaozhao’s dorm.
Song Ning scrutinized Shen Zhaozhao for a long while before finally asking, “What’s going on with you and your guy? Why haven’t I seen you guys together recently? It’s not because of that bar thing, is it?”
After all, it was her idea to go to the bar, and if that really caused them to fight, wouldn’t she be the main culprit?
