Chapter 497: Chapter 496: Book in Advance?
Su Mu returned to his room and, of course, the first thing he did was soak in a beautifully hot bath.
After Su Mu had finished his bath, feeling refreshed and lying on the soft, large bed, he habitually picked up his phone and glanced at it.
When Su Mu lit up his phone screen and saw the little red dot on WeChat, he remembered that he hadn’t yet checked the messages from He Qiya and Xia Shuya.
Since Su Mu, with his champion physical fitness, wasn’t the least bit sleepy, he was just idling around and opened WeChat directly.
He Qiya’s avatar was at the top, so Su Mu casually clicked on He Qiya’s avatar first.
"Su Mu, I went to my dad’s company this afternoon and finished all the paperwork for university."
"I will also be attending university in Wudong City. I checked online, and the China Aviation University I’ll be attending isn’t too far from your Z University."
"Su Mu, can I come to visit you in Wudong City when I have time?"
He Qiya sent three WeChat messages in a row.
After sending the last question, He Qiya didn’t continue to message.
Perhaps He Qiya was now familiar with Su Mu’s habits.
If Su Mu didn’t reply immediately, it meant that he was either busy or didn’t have time to respond.
Of course, He Qiya understood that she couldn’t keep chasing Su Mu for an answer.
Doing so would not only annoy Su Mu, but also He Qiya wouldn’t get the answer she wanted.
All He Qiya could do was wait patiently.
Wait for Su Mu to have time, wait for him to see her WeChat messages, wait for him to be willing to reply to her question.
Indeed, He Qiya’s claim that China Aviation University was not very far from Z University was a fact, but she had reversed the order of events in her explanation.
After all, He Qiya had checked all the universities in Wudong City from the start.
Her only criterion for selecting a university was that it be as close as possible to Z University, where Su Mu was about to enroll.
Of course, not all universities were willing to accept a student parachuting in like He Qiya.
So, among the universities her father He Yuguang could pull strings with, He Qiya eventually chose China Aviation University because it was relatively closest to Su Mu.
However, He Qiya didn’t dare tell Su Mu outright that she chose it because of him.
He Qiya wanted to convey that it was just a coincidence that the university she was about to attend was fairly close to Z University.
She didn’t want Su Mu to think it was intentional.
She also didn’t want Su Mu to overthink it.
But He Qiya still posed the most important question to herself.
He Qiya’s very reason for choosing to study in Wudong City was to be closer to Su Mu, to see him more often.
By doing so, He Qiya felt that perhaps the relationship between her and Su Mu could develop differently.
Therefore, this was a question He Qiya had to ask.
Even if it seemed abrupt to Su Mu, He Qiya had to voice it.
He Qiya felt that this might be a matter related to her happiness for the rest of her life; how could she not proactively fight for it?
He Qiya was aware that Su Mu did not harbor romantic feelings for her.
At least not now.
If he didn’t and if He Qiya wasn’t more proactive, then what happiness could she speak of in the future?
So, at this point, He Qiya had completely let go of a girl’s so-called reserved pride.
"Got it, my mom already heard it from your mom."
Su Mu didn’t know if He Qiya was asleep at this time.
He just thought that He Qiya was an alright friend and decided to just reply directly.
Whether He Qiya could see his message at this time was no longer within Su Mu’s consideration.
After all, it didn’t matter even if He Qiya was already asleep.
WeChat messages wouldn’t just disappear because they weren’t seen right away.
Su Mu just thought that once he replied to He Qiya’s message, the matter would be considered closed.
Anyway, Su Mu had no opinion on where He Qiya went to university.
In Su Mu’s view, Wudong City wasn’t exclusively his.
Even if He Qiya didn’t go to university in Wudong City, there would be others who would.
Su Mu didn’t feel that He Qiya going to university in Wudong City had anything to do with him.
If he really had to say something, Su Mu might just think it a bit of a coincidence, that’s all.
But as for that coincidence, Su Mu already had his answer.
It’s just that Wudong City, relatively speaking, was closer to Huadong City.
This was a very reasonable explanation, and Su Mu wasn’t going to think too much about it.
"Really? I didn’t even know my mom had already called Aunt Ping."
It was somewhat unexpected, Su Mu had thought for sure that He Qiya wouldn’t reply to his message at this time.
After all, several hours had passed since He Qiya sent her WeChat message to Su Mu.
Plus, it was already late, one could say it was the middle of the night.
At this time, Su Mu simply assumed that He Qiya was already resting.
After all, Su Mu knew that Xuanxuan was definitely already sleeping her beauty sleep.
They were both girls of about the same age; Su Mu was a bit curious, wasn’t He Qiya worried that staying up late would be bad for her skin?
Of course, Su Mu wouldn’t actually ask He Qiya this question.
Su Mu felt this was a girl’s issue, and He Qiya might not be comfortable discussing her own issue with him.
What Su Mu didn’t know was that He Qiya was not one to stay up late. freewёbnoνel.com
She had been waiting tonight simply because she hadn’t received a reply from Su Mu yet.
He Qiya felt that Su Mu hadn’t answered her question yet.
How could He Qiya possibly sleep peacefully?
Unable to fall asleep after tossing and turning in bed, He Qiya was directly holding her phone and waiting for a message from Su Mu.
In fact, He Qiya also had some doubts whether Su Mu would reply to her message tonight.
After all, it was really late.
He Qiya remembered that even when Su Mu replied to messages late in the past, there was never such a long interval between them.
So, the longer He Qiya waited, the less certain she felt.
Unfortunately, He Qiya didn’t dare to call and rush Su Mu or anything like that.
With no other choice, He Qiya could only keep holding her phone and waiting.
Even He Qiya herself wasn’t sure whether she could actually wait for Su Mu’s message.
He Qiya felt like she was the foolish one waiting foolishly for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.
But even if He Qiya didn’t want to be the fool, she had no other choice.
Who made her care so much about Su Mu’s attitude?
Fortunately, Lady Luck was still watching over He Qiya.
At the risk of having panda eyes the next day, He Qiya finally received Su Mu’s message.
This made He Qiya incredibly excited.
He Qiya, in her excitement, leapt right up from the bed.
Almost losing her balance, she nearly flung her phone away.
Luckily, He Qiya’s arms were long, and her reaction was swift, so she managed to catch her phone in the nick of time.
Following Su Mu’s message, she anxiously typed out a line of text and sent it back.
He Qiya didn’t even pause to think.
What He Qiya was mainly worried about was that because of the timing, after Su Mu replied to her WeChat message, he wouldn’t look at his phone again.
Then He Qiya’s long wait would still be without any reward.
After sending the message, He Qiya read Su Mu’s WeChat reply again, more carefully this time.
Actually, it was just a sentence, the meaning very simple and clear, without the information He Qiya wanted.
What concerned He Qiya was the final question she asked Su Mu.
That was whether she could go see Su Mu after the start of the university term.
Wasn’t He Qiya going back to Wudong City for college just to be closer to Su Mu?
Being closer to Su Mu meant she wanted to interact with him more.
If she wanted to interact with Su Mu more, naturally, she would have to find a way to see him.
He Qiya definitely didn’t think highly enough of herself to believe that Su Mu would come find her.
As long as Su Mu didn’t refuse her coming to see him, He Qiya thought it would be the best news imaginable.
As for anything else, He Qiya dared not even dream of it.
No answer, Su Mu didn’t answer her question.
After reading Su Mu’s message to her word by word, He Qiya found that Su Mu really hadn’t addressed the question she cared about most.
Actually, Su Mu’s message didn’t contain any useful information for He Qiya at all.
Naturally, He Qiya knew about her mother calling Aunt Ping.
At that time, He Qiya was sitting right beside her mother.
He Qiya had heard every word her mother said to Aunt Ping, loud and clear.
He Qiya summarized it all: her mother had informed Aunt Ping about her upcoming start at Wudong City’s college.
Then, Aunt Ping must have said some words of congratulations.
Anyway, He Qiya heard her mother expressing thanks and such.
Of course, He Qiya also overheard her mother mention Su Mu.
But since Huang Yuqin’s attitude towards Bai Xiuping wasn’t very clear, no words implying matchmaking between the two were mentioned.
Given Huang Yuqin’s ambiguity, it was naturally impossible for Bai Xiuping to just say to her good friend over the phone, "My son already has a girlfriend, it’s better if Yao Yao doesn’t set her heart on Xiao Mu."
After all, He Qiya was a girl, and Bai Xiuping’s caution was understandable.
So, He Qiya, having listened in for so long, didn’t hear her mother and Aunt Ping discuss anything about her and Su Mu.
He Qiya knew that her mother definitely couldn’t find the right opportunity to discuss these things with Aunt Ping.
No way around it, since neither her mother nor Aunt Qin could, at least not currently, create any opportunities for her and Su Mu.
He Qiya, of course, could only find opportunities to interact and spend more time with Su Mu on her own.
He Qiya had always been looking forward to Four Eyes getting the gym membership sorted out, so she could go to the gym with Su Mu and Four Eyes.
Although in this threesome, Four Eyes was somewhat superfluous and troubling to He Qiya.
But if it meant being with Su Mu, He Qiya didn’t mind at all.
Yet He Qiya had indirectly asked Su Mu about going to the gym several times already.
Unfortunately, Su Mu always seemed unhurried, and He Qiya couldn’t outright urge Su Mu to go to the gym, could she?
He Qiya didn’t know what Four Eyes was thinking.
Four Eyes always wanted to show his best self in front of Li Minli. Surprisingly, he wasn’t even in a hurry to get fit or lose weight.
Because both Su Mu and Four Eyes seemed unhurried, He Qiya could only suppress her own anxiety.
Going to the gym would have to wait until Su Mu notified her.
What He Qiya urgently wanted to confirm now was whether she could go to see Su Mu after starting university in Wudong City.
Of course, it was He Qiya’s own decision to go, and she could go to see Su Mu directly if she wanted to.
What He Qiya was uncertain about was what Su Mu would think.
Would Su Mu be willing for her to go see him?
If Su Mu was unwilling, wouldn’t He Qiya upset him if she went to see him rashly?
Therefore, it was natural for He Qiya to carefully confirm Su Mu’s attitude first.
He Qiya knew that Su Mu had not answered her question just now and had probably ignored it directly.
He Qiya felt it might be because she sent too much information at once, and Su Mu didn’t notice.
Since Su Mu didn’t notice, He Qiya naturally had to get his attention.
"Su Mu, I heard from Four Eyes that you’ll attend Z University in Wudong City. It just so happens that the China Aviation University I’m about to attend isn’t far from Z University. Can I come to Z University to see you after I start university?"
This time, He Qiya made herself very clear.
He Qiya also explicitly explained that she had only learned from Four Eyes that Su Mu was going to attend Z University in Wudong City.
There was no helping it, Su Mu really hadn’t told He Qiya about his university plans.
He Qiya also didn’t want Su Mu to feel like she was prying into his private affairs on purpose.
Having explained everything clearly, He Qiya naturally hoped Su Mu wouldn’t overthink it.
After sending a long message, He Qiya nervously awaited Su Mu’s reply.
There was no helping it, a simple reply from Su Mu might affect He Qiya’s happiness for much of her life.
With such an important matter, it was natural for He Qiya to be extra cautious and anxious.
Su Mu was startled when he saw the message from He Qiya.
He Qiya had already asked once before, and Su Mu hadn’t really missed it.
It’s just that Su Mu thought it was a trivial matter, not warranting a reply.
As far as Su Mu was concerned, he and He Qiya could be considered friends.
It was indeed a coincidence that both would attend university in Wudong City.
They just weren’t going to the same university.
Of course, the likelihood of He Qiya attending Z University was almost zero.
After all, He Qiya hadn’t even taken the national college entrance exams in China, so how could she possibly enter such a top university there?
Originally, Su Mu felt that if they were both in the same city for university, and if he really had free time and the timing was right, it wouldn’t be a big deal for He Qiya to come to his university to hang out.
In Su Mu’s view, it seemed to need no reply.
After all, it was a matter for the future.
Besides, Su Mu thought that once He Qiya got used to university life and made some close female friends,
she might not have the time to see him anymore.
No matter what, Su Mu and He Qiya were friends of the opposite sex, and there are some things that aren’t suited for them to do together.
So, Su Mu hadn’t intended to reply to He Qiya’s question at all.
Such matters surely don’t require an appointment in advance, do they?
