“No need. I’ve also made an appointment with my roommates. We’ll have dinner together next time if there’s a chance.”

Upon hearing Gu Xiao’s words, the third eldest in the dorm, Xi Cong’s eyes lit up. “Sister-in-law, you can also bring your roommates over. It’s my treat!”

Seeing Xi Cong like this, to say nothing of Chu An and Gu Xiao, even the other two could tell what Xi Cong was up to.

The second oldest, Mo Nan pushed Xi Cong. “Kid, you should restrain your thoughts. It’s too obvious.”

Xi Cong looked at Mo Nan, then at Chu An and Ding Yu. “Is it really that obvious?”

Ding Yu nodded silently. Even Chu An gave him an affirmative look.

Xi Cong scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. “I-I’m just a little agitated. I haven’t even held a lady’s hand! How can I be like Brother Chu?”

The moment Xi Cong said this, Mo Nan and Ding Yu instantly revealed looks of concern.

After all… Previously, they had been focused on their studies. They had really never experienced love. Now that they were in university, other than wanting to study hard, they also hoped to find a girlfriend.

Gu Xiao looked at their strange expressions and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

However, she had already made an agreement with Jiang Meng and Wei Shu. It was still inconvenient to bring people over without informing the two of them in advance.

Since Gu Xiao wanted to leave, Chu An naturally had to send Gu Xiao off. Chu An really couldn’t feel at ease letting Gu Xiao leave the male dormitory alone without protecting her.

Gu Xiao and Chu An walked downstairs side by side. Then, she looked at Chu An playfully and repeated Chu An’s words to him. “Your roommates seem to be quite easy to get along with.”

Chu An nodded in agreement. “They are indeed quite easy to get along with.”

Especially the envious gazes that were directed at him and Gu Xiao being together, it made him even more satisfied.

Gu Xiao knew Chu An very well. With just a glance, she knew what he was thinking.

She gave a low laugh. “That’s good.”

Gu Xiao hoped that other than the Chu family and her, there would be others by Chu An’s side. Even in her previous life, with Chu An’s character and knowledge, there were many people surrounding Chu An, and there were also a few people who could chat with him.

But in this life, Chu An had always been circling around her.

She naturally liked the feeling that she was the only one in Chu An’s world, but she knew even more that Chu An also needed his own social circle and someone he could talk to.

Hence, when Mr Chu and Mrs Chu mentioned that they hoped that the two of them could stay in school and not live by themselves, Gu Xiao only thought for a while before agreeing.

Because she hoped that in university, Chu An could find someone he could speak sincerely with.

Of course, Gu Xiao didn’t tell Chu An about these thoughts, nor did she need to. She believed that he would understand.

After the two of them went downstairs, Gu Xiao stopped and glanced at Chu An.

“You can just send me off here! I’ll go back and look for Jiang Meng and Wei Shu. You can also have a meal with Mo Nan and the rest.”

A trace of light flashed across Chu An’s eyes, and his grip on Gu Xiao tightened. After pausing for a few seconds, he still let go.

“Alright, go ahead! Just tell me when you get back.”

Gu Xiao nodded. “Then I’ll contact you afterwards.”

Chu An watched Gu Xiao walk away before retracting his gaze. He turned around and walked towards the dormitory building.

He walked up the stairs step by step, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face.

After sending a message to Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, Gu Xiao put away her phone and walked towards the female dormitory.

She had just arrived downstairs when she saw Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, who were already waiting there. When the two of them saw Gu Xiao’s figure, their eyes lit up for a moment. Then, they walked to Gu Xiao arm in arm.

“Xiaoxiao, where are we going to eat now? Are we eating in school?” Jiang Meng asked curiously.

Gu Xiao shook her head. “I’m not eating at school. I know a very delicious hotpot place near the school. How about we go together?”

When the notice for A University came, Chu An had already investigated clearly what delicious food was around A University. What left a deeper impression on her was the hotpot place that she was about to go to.

According to online posts of students of A University, this hotpot restaurant tasted very good and was cheap. It was a very suitable place for gatherings..
