Chapter 581: Not a Boyfriend, but a Fiance
Chen Fan stood at the school gate, one arm resting on a crutch, the other hand holding a bouquet of flowers, with a silly smile on his face, looking somewhat foolish.
Passing students looked at him curiously, with some girls giggling and whispering, their eyes seeming to regard him as an idiot.
But Chen Fan didn't care at all.
He only cared about the girl who haunted his dreams.
"Chen Fan..."
Finally, a familiar voice came from behind.
Chen Fan turned around and saw Su Ruochu waving at him from across the street.
Three other girls were with her, probably her graduate school roommates.
Su Ruochu excitedly waved her hand, then looked left and right to check the traffic before running over along the sidewalk.
"Slow down, be careful!" Chen Fan called out.
Su Ruochu was wearing a white dress and canvas shoes, carrying a pretty small shoulder bag that Chen Fan had bought for her last year.
Her previously short hair seemed to have grown quite a bit and was tied in a ponytail.
In the sunlight, as the girl ran, her skirt fluttered and her ponytail swung back and forth, full of youthful energy.
Just like in their teenage years, when she first appeared as Chen Fan's desk mate, the school beauty.
Running up to Chen Fan out of breath, Su Ruochu smiled at him while panting heavily.
"Silly girl, why are you running so fast?"
Chen Fan smiled and reached out to ruffle Su Ruochu's hair, just as they used to do before.
Su Ruochu smiled and lifted her head.
"Why didn't you let me know you were coming?"
Chen Fan smiled and handed her the flowers.
"These are for you."
Su Ruochu smiled and took them with both hands.
"Why did you buy these? You're wasting money again."
"Is your injury alright now?"
Chen Fan shook his head, "It's been fine for a while now. After the cast comes off in a bit, I'll be able to walk as swiftly as ever."
"You're talking nonsense again."
By this time, the three girls behind her had finally caught up, their eyes curiously examining Chen Fan.
"Ruochu, aren't you going to introduce us?" teased one of the girls who was very fashionably dressed.
Su Ruochu held the flowers, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Let me introduce you. These are my dormitory roommates, Sun Xiaoxiao, Xu Ting, and Lin Yumo."
Chen Fan smiled as he looked over the three girls.
Sun Xiaoxiao was wearing denim shorts, her long legs very eye-catching, with a V-neck T-shirt on top, looking quite bold.
Xu Ting was a short girl less than 1.6 meters tall, with short hair and even some baby fat on her face, a typical baby-faced look.
If Su Ruochu hadn't introduced her, Chen Fan would have thought she was a high school student.
As for Lin Yumo, she was the most fashionable of the four, with exquisite makeup, wearing a beautiful tube skirt, high-heeled crystal shoes, and carrying an LV bag.
Before Su Ruochu could speak, Sun Xiaoxiao teasingly said, "So you're Ruochu's boyfriend."
But Su Ruochu, holding the flowers, smiled and moved closer, linking her arm with Chen Fan's.
"He's not my boyfriend, he's my fiance."
The three girls' eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.
"fiance? You two are engaged?"
Lin Yumo's gaze swept over the Passat parked next to Chen Fan, and when she noticed it had Beijing license plates, she thought she had figured something out.
Chen Fan smiled and greeted them, "Hello, beautiful ladies."
"Hello."
Xu Ting waved her hand, asking curiously,
"Are you two really engaged?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"When you meet such an unbelievably beautiful girlfriend, of course you have to act fast and secure the relationship. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night."
The three girls were amused, and Xu Ting covered her mouth, laughing lightly, "You're really funny."
Su Ruochu explained, "Chen Fan and I were classmates and deskmates in high school, and we studied the same major in university. We dated for 4 years and got engaged after graduating from college."
"Oh? Really?" Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, "I thought you were joking with us."
Su Ruochu shook her head.
"I'm not joking, it's true. Chen Fan is my fiance."
Lin Yumo curiously looked Chen Fan over.
"You... you said you two were high school classmates? Then how come you're driving a car with Beijing plates?"
Chen Fan smiled and explained, "This car belongs to a friend. I borrowed it to drive for a few days while I'm in Beijing."
"Oh. I see." Lin Yumo nodded, realizing she had guessed wrong earlier.
Originally, seeing Chen Fan arrive in a car with Beijing plates, she thought their relationship might be something else.
Xu Ting teasingly said with a grin,
"No wonder you rejected all those pursuers at our school, Ruochu. So you were already engaged."
Sun Xiaoxiao suddenly exclaimed,
"Ah, then what about our school's handsome senior brother..."
At this point, Sun Xiaoxiao suddenly realized she had misspoken and quickly shut her mouth.
Beside her, Xu Ting and Lin Yumo exchanged glances and giggled silently, clearly understanding what she meant.
Su Ruochu, however, didn't mind at all and looked at Chen Fan with a face full of happiness.
"How long are you staying in Beijing this time?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I'm not sure yet. I'm here on a business trip, so probably two or three days."
"That's great. You can spend more time with me."
It was evident that Chen Fan's arrival had made Su Ruochu very surprised and delighted.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I can stay with you the whole time."
Su Ruochu happily linked her arm with Chen Fan's, "You haven't been to our school before, right? Do you want to go in and look around?"
"Sure."
"Can cars enter your school?"
"They can if you register."
"Oh right, I brought you a gift too."
Saying this, Chen Fan turned and opened the car door, taking out a shopping bag from the trunk in the back seat.
"Here, a gift for you."
"Wow! It's a Gucci bag!"
Sun Xiaoxiao, with her sharp eyes, noticed first and couldn't help but exclaim.
Su Ruochu looked a bit embarrassed.
"Why did you buy a gift? The bag I'm using is still fine."
Chen Fan smiled sheepishly and said, "Isn't there a saying? A girl's closet is always missing one more bag."
"You can never have too many of these. You can switch between them in the future."
Sun Xiaoxiao mumbled beside them, "Ruochu, your fiance is so good to you. If my boyfriend could be half as good as him, I'd be smiling even in my dreams."
Seeing Su Ruochu holding the shopping bag awkwardly, Sun Xiaoxiao urged, "Open it and let us see too."
Only then did Su Ruochu open the bag and take out the handbag inside.
"It's so beautiful!"
Sun Xiaoxiao and Xu Ting exclaimed in unison.
Undeniably, women have an innate weakness for items like handbags.
Meanwhile, Lin Yumo spoke up with some surprise.
"This bag... I think I've seen this bag in a magazine."
"It's Gucci's latest limited edition from this year. It costs nearly 100,000 yuan each."
Hearing this, all four girls were startled.
Chen Fan shrugged and explained to Su Ruochu,
"I don't really understand these things. I just thought this bag would suit your style, so I bought it casually."
The three girls looked at the bag in Su Ruochu's hands with envy written all over their faces.
Especially Lin Yumo, who loved luxury goods the most.
She was carrying an LV bag right now, though it was a second-hand one she bought herself.
Now, looking at the limited edition bag in Su Ruochu's hands, it was impossible not to be envious. She almost wanted to snatch it away to admire it closely.
Her gaze shifted to Su Ruochu's boyfriend, then casually swept over to the back seat of the car beside them.
Lin Yumo's expression suddenly froze.
She felt as if her breathing had stopped.
In the trunk of the back seat, there were many shopping bags piled up, with several designer handbags among them.
