Just like Wen Xiaoliang said, after escaping on the little electric scooter, Liang Rou began feeling restless, her mind constantly replaying the things Wen Xiaoliang had told her, the experiences she shared.
So, were all those things Wen Xiaoliang said true?
Was An Luxi really from the same university as her? Did they really know each other before? Had she even confessed to her? Or were all these stories just something Wen Xiaoliang made up to test her?
After much thought, Liang Rou still didn’t want to believe that An Luxi was hiding something from her.
She felt that even if An Luxi had gone to the same university, it was just a coincidence.
Even if they knew each other, they wouldn’t be that close—after all, she couldn’t even remember her.
Besides, now that she had turned into a girl, it was normal that An Luxi didn’t recognize her as a university classmate, right?
Even with these thoughts, Liang Rou’s heart was in chaos, her mind swirling with phrases like “An Luxi confessed to you before, she wants to be the other woman.”
A confession was such a big deal, she couldn’t possibly have forgotten it.
Either she was going crazy, or Wen Xiaoliang was lying to her, or perhaps Wen Xiaoliang’s mental state was worsening.
Anyway… she chose to believe An Luxi.
But after returning home, restless and unable to sleep, Liang Rou opened her phone and tapped on the chat window with her girlfriend, which was paused at their goodnight exchange.
Liang Rou stared intently at the screen, pondering for a long time. In the end, she sent a message:
［Liang Rou: Xiaolu, I just realized I’ve never asked you—which university did you go to before?］
Right after sending it, she regretted it.
Asking someone what university they went to so late at night was a bit suspicious, wasn’t it?
So she quickly added:
［Liang Rou: I remember you said you lived in B City for a few years. My university was there too. Could we be alumni?］
No sooner had she sent this than she saw the “typing…” indicator on the other side.
But it stayed for a long time without a reply.
What was going on?
Liang Rou felt a strange sensation rising in her chest.
It was just a simple question about university; why was it taking so long?
The next moment, An Luxi’s reply came through.
［An Luxi: I studied at B University. Could we really be alumni?］
Liang Rou’s heart skipped a beat and then started pounding wildly, her hands trembling slightly.
Wen Xiaoliang had been right—An Luxi and she had attended the same university.
Her fingers shook as she typed:
［Liang Rou: What a coincidence! I also studied at B University. We really are alumni~］
The reply came quickly:
［An Luxi: Wow! Rou Rou, that’s such a coincidence! We’re actually alumni! But… why have I never seen you before? I never saw you on campus.］
Seeing this, Liang Rou relaxed a lot.
Of course—she had been a man before. It was only natural that the An Luxi of before hadn’t seen the woman she had become.
［Liang Rou: Maybe it’s because we weren’t in the same year. Which year were you? I’m class 33.］
［An Luxi: Then we definitely weren’t in the same year. I’m class 35, two years younger than you!］
［Liang Rou: Ahaha… that’s really unlucky. We didn’t have the custom of juniors picking up freshmen in third year. If you were class 34, maybe you’d have seen me, because then I was a sophomore helping freshmen carry luggage.］
Liang Rou’s mood lightened considerably because Wen Xiaoliang had gotten this detail wrong.
An Luxi was not class 34, just one year junior to her, but class 35, two years younger.
The school only arranged for sophomores to help freshmen; freshmen trying to contact juniors was nearly impossible, and the campuses were different too.
So meeting or helping with luggage was out of the question.
“I knew it—just a coincidence~”
Her mood much better, Liang Rou immediately urged An Luxi to sleep.
［Liang Rou: Alright, you should go to sleep now. It’s already late, and I have to work overtime tomorrow~ Good night~］
After sending that, she put down her phone.
“Really, why did I ask all that nonsense? Even if Xiaolu knew we went to the same university from the start and just didn’t mention it, it’s not her fault. There’s no point hiding such things. I’ve really fallen into Wen Xiaoliang’s trap, doubting my own girlfriend.”
She sighed heavily.
“Sigh, Wen Xiaoliang’s paranoia is getting worse… She’s not usually so emotional and sincere with her words, so maybe she’s not pretending. Maybe… after I left, she really did develop some mental issues.”
After all, her mental state wasn’t stable even when she was around. Once she left, Wen Xiaoliang probably broke down and became even more unstable. Thinking about this, Liang Rou suddenly felt guilty.
She pulled the covers over her head, trying hard to push away useless thoughts, to stop recalling a past that had no meaning, and to look forward.
Unfortunately, she still couldn’t sleep and went to the company the next day with dark circles under her eyes.
Xia Rui looked at the weary senior and once again came over to check on her.
Although they had solved one problem yesterday, Liang Rou was still restless—probably because of what Wen Xiaoliang said.
She still doubted herself a little. After all, some of the things the vague figure told her were fuzzy in her memory, easily leading her to think she had lost part of her memory.
By the afternoon, after working overtime, the Project was almost finished, and both Liang Rou and Xia Rui relaxed, slumping in their chairs.
“Senior, this Project is almost done~” Xia Rui tentatively said.
“Mm…”
Liang Rou didn’t notice the slightly excited tone of her companion. She rubbed her temples tiredly, already thinking about ordering a big meal at home to reward herself and then falling straight asleep.
“Then, once it’s completely done tomorrow, I’ll send it to my relatives to take a look~”
Xia Rui winked at Liang Rou, “If there’s anything lacking, they can help us fix it. When it goes to the Big Boss, it’ll definitely get approved~”
Of course! If the Big Boss himself edits it, of course, it’ll be satisfactory.
Liang Rou immediately opened her eyes and brightened up, looking at Xia Rui like she was a lifesaver.
“Mm! Thank you, Xia Rui!”
A sweet smile appeared on Xia Rui’s face.
“No problem, Senior~ It’s nothing really~ But…”
She winked at Liang Rou twice.
“You have to hang out with me this weekend~ You know… I don’t have any other playmates here, only you can go out with me. I get so bored going alone…”
Xia Rui’s tone grew increasingly downcast.
“Oh! You promised me last time! Of course I’ll go with you~”
Liang Rou casually patted her on the shoulder.
Xia Rui immediately brightened up again.
“Then… thank you, Senior~”
Thank you for the treat, Senior~
