53: Chapter 52 Her Love, Simple and Pure_2 53: Chapter 52 Her Love, Simple and Pure_2 Having experienced four years of university, Nanxi had become immune to such scenarios.
However, gaining such immunity was no easy feat.
When she first came to H University, Nanxi was already Li Weihuanâs girlfriend, but her love for Li Weihuan was far less passionate and fervent compared to other couples of their age.
Yang Su commented, âYou two are just like people who time-traveled from the 1950s to the 21st century.
Itâs not a novelty anymore for other college students to live together in rented apartments.
But you two, even a simple kiss or hand-holding can make you blush for a long timeâ¦
Itâs oddly innocent!â
Nanxi didnât think so.
On the contrary, she relished this kind of pure and simple feeling!
She might still be unable to define what ordinary love looks like, but she thought, perhaps itâs the simplicity that made it ordinary!
As for others, she didnât need to concern herself.
The form of love varies, and she simply chose the one most suitable for her!
After walking through a small path, bypassing the library, she arrived at the main teaching building.
The offices of the Chinese Language Major faculty were on the east side of the second floor.
Chen Xianyu had been Nanxiâs class advisor for four years, but they had minimal interaction.
Nonetheless, Nanxi had to admit that Chen Xianyu was an exceptional teacher.
He was gentle, well-mannered, and somewhat scholarly.
He was also reasonably good-looking, at least among the crowd of middle-aged men wearing glasses at H University, he stood out!
Initially, some female students had shown interest in Chen Xianyu.
One of them lived in the dorm next to Nanxiâs.
Once, no one was in their dorm, so she, who had forgotten her key, sat in Nanxiâs dorm for a while.
She held Nanxiâs hand and said, âYou might not understand what itâs like to fall in love with a man eleven years older than you, and moreover, heâs your teacherâ¦
At first, I couldnât accept it either.
But love is sometimes like a swamp.
The more you resist and struggle, the deeper and faster you sink!
I went from being initially unable to face it, to now accepting it openly.
The internal struggle was long, but it only made me more certain of my feelings.
Even if no one around me accepts or acknowledges it, even if they verbally abuse me, I wonât change my original intention.
This love will not deteriorate due to the eleven-year age gap, and it certainly wonât deviate due to societal views!â
Nanxi was speechless after hearing that, unsure whether her feelings at that moment were sympathy or regret!
Later on, Chen Xianyu must have said something to that girl.
Since then, she gave up pursuing him.
A few months later, she found a new boyfriend.
As for her conversation with Nanxi, Nanxi regarded it as hallucination and forgot about it.
At this very moment, Nanxi was standing in front of Chen Xianyuâs office.
She took a deep breath.
Gathering her courage, she knocked on the office door.
âCome in!â
A manâs voice came from inside, a little husky and deep, but still warm and pleasant!
Nanxi turned the doorknob and stepped in, but the moment she took a step in, she stopped abruptly.
The man sitting on the couch in the office was not Chen Xianyuâ¦
âLooking for Mr.
Chen?
He just left for the Department Headâs office and he might be a while.
Come in and sit for a bit.â
The man spoke again, smiling at Nanxi.
Nanxi felt uncomfortable all over.
Nanxi moved further into the room.
Noticing that the man was gesturing at a seat, she sat down, uncertain about what to sayâ¦
The manâs gaze swept over Nanxiâs face, offering a slight smile.
âSo this is why Xianyu chose to stay at the school as a teacher!â
Nanxi furrowed her eyebrows, puzzled.
The man explained, âWith so many beautiful female students at the school, even just looking at them is a delight.
This kid, Xianyuâ¦â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
Nanxi looked up and was startled, she stood up, âSusu, why are you here?â
Yang Su caught her breath, seemingly in a hurry, she handed over the phone in her hand.
âWhat else could it beâ¦you forgot to bring your phone.
Somebody called you and insisted that I deliver the phone to you.
I thought it might be urgent, so I brought it.
What a hassle!â
Nanxi was slightly embarrassed as she took the phone, looked at the number: 136⦠She immediately knew who had called.
âIs this student also Xianyuâs student?
Come in and sit for a while.
Ah, now Iâm even more certain of my earlier inference!â
The man on the sofa opened his mouth again.
Yang Su frowned, âWhat inference?â
âSusu, wait for me.
Iâm going to make a quick call and come back,â Nanxi didnât answer, and with that said, she slipped out with her phone.
Yang Su frowned, âWhatâs the rush?
Despite me coming all the way to deliver her phoneâ¦â
âHa, ha!â
The manâs hearty laughter made Yang Su realize that she had completely ignored the stranger sitting in the office!
The man lifted his cup of water, âWould you like me to bring it over?
Girl!â
Upon hearing the word âgirlâ, Yang Su became annoyed, âHey, mister, you must be a friend of Mr.
Chen, and as such, I should respect you.
But my respect is contingent on your respecting meâ¦
Moreover, Iâm not a âgirl,â I have a name.
My surname is Yang, and my name is Yang Su.
Thank you!â
âHa, ha!â
The man laughed again, âYang Su?
Hmm, thatâs a good name, the same as a famous minister in the Sui Dynasty.
Itâs a pity that your temperament and conduct arenât half as good as his!â
âNone of your business!â Yang Su said and started to leave.
âHey, girl, your classmate asked you to wait for her earlier!â
Yang Su stopped in her tracks, glanced at the man lounging on the couch, and sardonically said, âMister, has anyone ever told you that you are annoying?â
With that, she ignored the man, gave the door a tug and left!
Inside the room, the man still had a smile on his face.
He rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: Have I really gotten old?
In jthe past, he seemed to have quite the lethal charm with girls in their twenties!
Meanwhile, Nanxi dialed the number starting with 136.
After a long time of ringing, it was finally answered.
A manâs voice came, just a simple âHello.â Nanxi grew slightly nervous and began, âIs this Mr.
Lu?
Hello, this is Gu Nanxi!â
