Lu Wei Xi has not spoken to Cheng Si Ran for three days. In other words, this is the first time they are in a cold war.
In fact, out of everyone in the dorm, Lu Wei Xi has the best temper. However, Cheng Si Ran’s actions this time is really unacceptable. In her heart, Cheng Si Ran is her most important friend and the older sister she could rely on. But she had been giving her the cold shoulder because Lu Wei Xi threw away a boy she doesn’t like.
If it was just an ordinary friend, Lu Wei Xi would definitely walk out the door the moment she saw Lu Yu, but this person is Cheng Si Ran, not someone else. Therefore, she can’t leave and could only keep her emotions inside as she accompany them to eat.
She wasn’t angry, she was just sad. This kind of sadness is like being betrayed by a close friend so she couldn’t control her emotions and cried out.
But the person who could give her a shoulder to cry on is on the other side of the ocean, thousands of miles away.

In order to help those two mend their relationship, Xia Nuan and Mu Ran Ran painstakingly came up with a bunch of plans.
It wasn’t until Friday evening when Lu Wei Xi and Cheng Si Ran are idle in the dormitory that Xia Nuan and Mu Ran Ran pestered them to go to a ramen restaurant near University T for dinner.
The ramen restaurant is a well-known establishment in front of University T as it had been opened for around seven to eight years. Around 80% of the customers are students from University T. Everyday in the afternoon and in the evening, the restaurant would be packed. Xia Nuan and Mu Ran Ran maneuvered through the crowd and finally spotted the biggest table in the restaurant that can sit around six people.
As the four of them made their way to the table, Lu Wei Xi stayed silent the entire time while Cheng Si Ran kept on a cold face, still looking like a glamorous and noble queen. Perhaps it is because the atmosphere around the table is too strange, a lot of students who wanted to come over to look at Cheng Si Ran were discouraged from doing so.
Xia Nuan who felt stifled by this awkward atmosphere, ate a huge mouthful of ramen before she mustered up the courage to speak, “We’ve been friends for three years. If you have something to say then say it out. Stop acting like junior high students and ignoring each other. Both of your ages added up together is almost half of a hundred, don’t be so immature.”
Mu Ran Ran who almost choked on a pepper, coughed for a long time before she followed in saying, “That’s right. Ah Xi, I know that you’re mad at Si Ran for tricking you into going on a blind date so you should just tell her clearly. Si Ran isn’t someone who doesn’t understand. I think….she was only worried about you. After all, you’re the youngest in our dorm and had never talked about love before. Her state of mind is reasonable.”
A lot of students walked by their table. Many of them recognized University T’s most popular student and the English Department’s Beauty. Lu Wei Xi even clearly heard some girls mocked and ridicule her boyfriend had a pile of spare tires.
If it was the usual Cheng Si Ran she would already be fighting back. However, right now, she is sitting in front of Lu Wei Xi, not saying anything.
She didn’t say anything, Lu Wei Xi didn’t say anything while time passes by. Lu Wei Xi looked down at the untouched ramen and couldn’t help but reflect. Was she making too much of a fuss?
Don’t know how long it took when she finally heard Cheng Si Ran speak up, “Xi Xi, we’ve known each other since high school. At that time, the girls in our class isolated me, only you were willing to walk home with me, accompany me in the library before an exam and took the initiative to pull my hand in P.E. Whether you believe it or not, you are my most important friend. You are different from me and different from all the other girls. Xi Xi, you are too innocent but society is not as kind as you think it is. The human heart is not as pure.”
She looked up and held Lu Wei Xi’s gaze. Her voice couldn’t help but soften, “I admit, I went overboard this time. I didn’t take into account your feelings and tricked you into meeting Lu Yu. But even then, I can’t put my heart at ease seeing you together with a stranger. Can he guarantee that he can take care of you? Can he guarantee that he will put you ahead of everything else? Can he guarantee that he won’t make you cry and have you complain to me?”
When Cheng Si Ran spoke, her voice was a little hoarse. It must be that the last couple of days when there is no one around she also secretly cried. Lu Wei Xi had known her for so long but this is the first time she heard her speak about her in such devotion. Lu Wei Xi felt a bit embarrassed.
The old electric fan spun in the ceiling. It’s already seven o’clock in the evening. The peak hour for dinner is almost over. There are fewer people in the restaurant making the atmosphere more depressed than before.
Lu Wei Xi suddenly felt that she doesn’t know how to answer Cheng Si Ran’s questions.
Mu Ran Ran felt that what Cheng Si Ran said was a bit inappropriate, “Si Ran, don’t say that. Ah Xi is only dating, it’s not like she is going to marry him. You don’t have to–––”
"I can guarantee it."
Like an illusion, that voice appeared in a timely manner.
Lu Wei Xi’s hand which is holding the chopstick pause. The first thing that came to her mind is that she must’ve heard wrong. How can Jian Chi appear at this time? But the next moment, she looked up and saw the familiar figure in front of her.
Even standing in the dilapidated and cramped store he still looks elegant and noble.
Everyone froze, including Cheng Si Ran.
Awww 😭😭😭 this is the kind of friendship we all want....
