Regarding Zhao Zhao's question, Sui Sui shook her head directly. "There's no possibility between him and me!"
"We're not even from the same world. There shouldn't even be any daily contact!"
Although Sui Sui was young, her thoughts were clear. She and Wen Gu weren't a good match, and she wouldn't entertain unrealistic dreams!
Wen Gu's interest in her was just the novelty of a rich person. How long would it last?
Once he didn't get what he wanted from her, he'd lose interest himself. She just needed to ignore him.
Besides, Wen Gu wasn't even her type, so she answered Zhao Zhao's question very straightforwardly!
Zhao Zhao, hearing Sui Sui say this, breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid Sui Sui would be unable to resist the temptation and be deceived by that cunning man.
Her family's circumstances were pretty good, considered upper-middle class. In their circle, some young masters changed girlfriends one after another, leading a dissolute life.
Moreover, most of these young masters relied on their families and didn't have any independent wealth of their own. They received a fixed allowance each month and spent the rest of their time boasting and having fun.
Even with this, families still demanded that their children marry someone of equal status. They guarded against the woman as if she were a class enemy, fearing she would take advantage of them.
Someone like Wen Gu, the eldest son of the family, would undoubtedly be arranged to marry someone through a political marriage. His family would certainly arrange a young lady of equal standing for him, a union of powerful families.
Therefore, she was very afraid that Sui Sui would fall for him and be hurt.
Fortunately, Sui Sui was very sensible and open-minded, and wasn't fooled by Wen Gu, who was like a poison wrapped in a sugar coating.
The night was deep, and the moon hung high in the sky. The beauty in the room had gradually drifted off to sleep!
The two were awakened by the sound of a WeChat notification. Sui Sui, still half-asleep, fumbled for her phone. When she opened it, she saw a message from Xu Rui, saying he would arrive in half an hour and told her not to go out, but to wait for him at home.
Sui Sui, who had been drowsy, glanced at the time and instantly became fully awake. It was already eleven o'clock. She hadn't expected them to have slept for so long.
Quickly, she nudged Zhao Zhao beside her: "Zhao Zhao, wake up, it's time to get up. Grandma will have someone bring the things over soon."
"We need to get up quickly and go get them."
Zhao Zhao still didn't want to get up. Sui Sui's quilt was soft and fragrant, and she really wanted to sleep a little longer.
Sui Sui called out to Zhao Zhao a few times, then immediately went to wash up. She wore light blue flared jeans with a pink knit sweater, which made Sui Sui look delicate and vibrant, full of youthful energy.
After applying some sunscreen, she quickly put her hair up in a bun. She glanced at the time and told Zhao Zhao something, then hurried downstairs to wait.
As soon as she went downstairs, she received a video call from Xu Rui. Sui Sui opened it, ready to tell him her exact location.
The moment the video opened, a sunny and handsome face filled her vision, looking at her through the lens with a smile in his eyes.
"Sui Sui, I'm Brother Xu Rui, do you still remember me?"
Sui Sui blushed at the sound of "Brother Xu Rui," her cheeks slightly flushed. She darted her eyes around, unable to meet the screen's gaze.
"I remember. Thank you, Brother Xu Rui, for bringing me things."
After Sui Sui finished speaking, Xu Rui ended the call. She looked up and saw a black Passat slowly driving towards her.
Sui Sui took a step back, wondering if it was Xu Rui's car.
Sure enough, the black car stopped in front of her, and a young man got out.
To be precise, a very handsome young man!
Xu Rui's handsomeness was of the sunny and clean type. White shirt, jeans – very college-student-esque and eye-catching.
Xu Rui walked over to Sui Sui and extended his hand. "Hello, Sui Sui, I'm Xu Rui!"
Sui Sui quickly raised her hand and introduced herself, "Hello, I'm Sui Sui!"
After the introduction, they looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.
Xu Rui reached out and rubbed Sui Sui's head, saying with a hint of affection, "You rascal!"
After this little distraction, the awkwardness between them gradually lessened.
Actually, Sui Sui remembered Xu Rui. They used to play together when they were teenagers. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, the familiarity of a hometown relative in a foreign land made their interaction more natural.
Wen Gu opened the trunk and unloaded everything Grandma had asked him to bring.
Two huge jackfruits, a box of mangoes, a box of pineapples...
Adding everything together, there were about ten boxes.
Sui Sui was a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of fruit. How was she supposed to eat all of this by herself?
Grandma had basically brought every type of fruit from the courtyard, hadn't she?
She looked at Xu Rui with some difficulty. "Xu Rui, there's too much. I won't be able to finish it all. Why don't you take some?"
Xu Rui waved his hands repeatedly. "Sui Sui, please spare me. I don't eat much fruit as a guy, and on top of that, Grandpa brought me a lot this time. I literally have no space left at home."
"It's okay if you can't finish it. You can give some to your friends and colleagues, so they can taste the naturally ripened fruit from Yun Province."
Actually, the many boxes of fruit Sui Sui had weren't just from her Grandma. Xu Rui had given her some too.
Sui Sui was alone here, and it wasn't easy for her to go back and forth. He definitely had to take extra care of her.
"Come on, where do you live? I'll help you take it up."
The two of them couldn't possibly carry everything. Sui Sui called Zhao Zhao down as well, asking her to watch from below while she and Xu Rui transported the fruit upstairs.
When Zhao Zhao came down, she saw Sui Sui talking to a handsome, sunny guy. They were standing together, laughing and chatting. From their appearance, they were a perfect match.
Furthermore, Sui Sui seemed relaxed and natural with this handsome guy, a stark contrast to the awkwardness and guardedness she'd shown when interacting with Wen Gu yesterday.
(Wen Gu: "...…" He was so angry he could grind his teeth to dust!)
Sui Sui saw Zhao Zhao coming down and immediately waved, "Zhao Zhao, over here."
Once Zhao Zhao was close, she introduced, "Zhao Zhao, this is Xu Rui, a neighbor from my hometown."
Then, turning to Xu Rui, she said, "This is Zhao Zhao, my good friend!"
Zhao Zhao and Xu Rui exchanged polite greetings, then Zhao Zhao winked at Sui Sui.
"My, my, the neighbor's brother, there's a chance!"
Sui Sui was amused by her expression and patted her little head, telling her to watch the fruit while she and Xu Rui carried the items upstairs.
By the time they finished, it was already noon. Sui Sui felt bad about troubling Xu Rui so much, so she wanted to treat him to a meal.
Thus, the three of them got into Xu Rui's car and went to a nearby restaurant.
Just as their car left the neighborhood, Wen Gu drove over.
Following the provided address, he found the building where Sui Sui lived and parked his car.
Looking at the large bouquet of red roses and a H-brand bag on the passenger seat, he thought Sui Sui should give him a better look.
After all, he had asked many people, and the answers were all the same: girls like these things.
Who still says, "Bags cure all illnesses"?
He didn't want to cure all illnesses; if Sui Sui could agree to be his girlfriend, he'd send her a hundred bags without any problems.
He came to Sui Sui's doorstep and rang the doorbell a few times, but there was no response from inside the room.
Had she gone out?
