Chapter 507: Fragile Little Heart Shattered into Smithereens (1)
Chu Lingxiu stood at the school gate, watching Gu Shuxin get into Qi Chengliang’s car.
In truth, even though she had heard it from Gu Shuxin’s own lips last time, a part of Chu Lingxiu still couldn’t quite believe that Gu Shuxin was really with Qi Chengliang.
But now, she had seen Gu Shuxin get into Qi Chengliang’s car with her own eyes again. And her expression showed not a trace of reluctance.
Maybe the relationship between Gu Shuxin and Qi Chengliang wasn’t what she had thought. Maybe there had been signs of something between them for a long time.
It was just that she had always believed that since Gu Shuxin liked Lu Cheng, her heart would belong to him alone. She wouldn’t even spare other men a second glance.
Sure enough, after finding out that Gu Shuxin had deceived her, reality had once again slapped her hard across the face.
Since this was Gu Shuxin’s own choice, she could only respect it. However, Chu Lingxiu would never again be able to pour her heart out to this new version of Gu Shuxin like she used to.
With that thought, Chu Lingxiu gave a self-deprecating smile in the direction Gu Shuxin and Qi Chengliang had left, then turned and headed toward her dorm.
She hadn’t been able to win the argument with her family about registration, so they had already taken care of it for her. They had even sent all her things to the dorm. All she had to do now was show up.
’Big Brother was right, I still have my whole life ahead of me! Who knows, maybe I can make a best friend during these four years of college!’
Thinking this, Chu Lingxiu’s mood lightened just a little.
However, Chu Lingxiu never expected that her slightly improved mood would be shattered so quickly.
She entered the dormitory building and went up to the fourth floor. Just as Chu Lingxiu reached the door to her room, 405, she heard voices from inside before she could even walk in.
"Jiajia, how come only two people have shown up in your room so far?"
"I don’t know, maybe they’ll show up later! There’s already a bunch of stuff on that bed over there, but I haven’t seen the person yet."
"Sigh, you’re so lucky to have a great roommate like Shuxin. Why is my luck so bad? I ended up with a roommate like that!"
"It’s only the first day. Maybe it’s all just a misunderstanding!"
"A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be? I can’t stand those country bumpkins! Just the thought of sharing a room with someone like that makes me sick!"
"I get it. It’d be great if you could switch rooms."
"Yeah! But hey, a word of advice. Since the other two in your room haven’t arrived yet, you should use this opportunity to get close to Shuxin. Do your best to become her best friend. You’ll definitely get a lot of perks out of it later! And when you do, don’t you forget about me!"
"Of course I won’t forget you! Besides, you two know each other now, so you can come hang out in our room all the time!"
"I definitely will. I don’t even want to be in my own room! I’ll be hanging out in yours all the time from now on!"
Outside, Chu Lingxiu’s hand, which had been about to open the door, paused when she heard the conversation inside. Her expression turned ugly.
The conversation stirred up some unpleasant memories for Chu Lingxiu. People who deliberately befriended others for personal gain were the type she detested the most.
She had made an exception for Gu Shuxin because she had believed Gu Shuxin wasn’t that kind of person. But now, reality had shown her that it was all just her imagination.
Now, before she had even stepped into her dorm room, she discovered that her new roommate was that kind of person, too. ’A dorm room like this... a college life like this... is it really something to look forward to, like Big Brother said?’
