Chapter 542: How Did You Know?

Shen Nian certainly didn’t think the girl had come specifically for her, so her gaze naturally fell upon Chu Lingxiu.

At that moment, Gu Shuxin also turned to look at the group after hearing the voice from nearby.

Gu Shuxin’s gaze first fell on Shen Nian, then shifted to Chu Lingxiu, who was standing beside her.

When she saw Chu Lingxiu and Shen Nian were actually standing so close together, Gu Shuxin couldn’t help but clench her fists.

’But according to my previous scheming, I had already successfully made Chu Lingxiu hate Shen Nian. How could they have gotten so much closer in less than a day?’

’No, I can’t let this situation continue to develop. I absolutely can’t!’

"Lingxiu, I came here specifically to see you."

Gu Shuxin walked up to Chu Lingxiu. Though a storm was raging in her heart, her face was all smiles.

"Did you need something?"

Chu Lingxiu didn’t push Gu Shuxin away, but instead looked at her and asked.

"I... I have something I want to tell you. In private."

After speaking, Gu Shuxin glanced at the people beside Chu Lingxiu. Her gaze lingered longest on Shen Nian, and it carried a subtle warning.

Shen Nian just smiled. ’Does this Gu Shuxin really think a hint of a warning is enough to scare me?’

Shen Nian’s eyes met Chu Lingxiu’s. She smiled at Chu Lingxiu, then gave her shoulder a light pat.

"Well, you two talk. We’ll head inside."

With that, Shen Nian took Wang Chunhua and Qi Yunzhi into the dormitory, leaving Chu Lingxiu and Gu Shuxin alone.

"Lingxiu, let’s go find somewhere to sit and talk."

"No, that’s not necessary. It’s getting late, so it’s not convenient to go out. Whatever you want to say, we can just talk here."

Chu Lingxiu didn’t show her animosity toward Gu Shuxin. She was actually curious what Gu Shuxin, who had come looking for her so impatiently, wanted to say.

"Lingxiu, I was thinking about it last night and all day today... Why don’t you switch back to my dorm? That way, we can look out for each other."

Chu Lingxiu froze for a moment, then smiled. When she had said she was moving out yesterday, Gu Shuxin had also frozen for a second before agreeing. Now, after such a short time, she’d completely changed her mind. ’She really is fickle, isn’t she?’

"That’s not necessary. Switching once was already a huge hassle for the school administration. If I’m any more demanding, my parents will get upset with me! Besides, I’m confident I can adapt to dorm life quickly. You should have faith in me too, right?"

"Of course I have faith in you, I’m just..."

"As long as you have faith in me, that’s enough. I feel fine the way things are now, so let’s not bother with switching around again!"

"If you insist, then... all right. But if you have any trouble adjusting, you have to tell me!"

"Mm."

"Lingxiu, I remember you used to really dislike Shen Nian. Now that you’re in the same dorm as her, are you sure you can get used to it?"

Chu Lingxiu looked at Gu Shuxin. ’So, she finally brought it up. But isn’t she already with Qi Chengliang? Why is she still so fixated on Shen Nian? Don’t tell me she still hasn’t given up on Lu Cheng?’

At this thought, Chu Lingxiu’s brow furrowed.

"I don’t recall ever telling you who was in my dorm. Shuxin, how did you know I’m sharing a room with Shen Nian?"
