Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 377 I plan to stay this time
After listening to Xia Ning's silent words, Xu Wen replied, "I remember."

When he first started college, he thought his college life would start over again.

The people and things of the past are gradually fading away.

But what he didn't expect was that Xia Ning and Gu Xingruo, who were supposed to leave, came back.

One of them said she wanted to go out and see the world, and the other said she wanted to go abroad.

But in the end, they all broke their promises.

Xia Ning smiled after hearing Xu Wen's words.

She stopped reminiscing about the past and took out a delicate box from her small bag: "This is a gift for you. I bought it in Tibet. It is said to be a talisman made of stones from the Himalayas. It can protect people from harm and misfortune."

Xu Wen took the box, opened it and saw a dark blue stone inside with incomprehensible runes engraved on it and strung with a leather rope.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Xu Wen put the amulet around his neck. The stone felt cool against his skin.

"And this, my application for leave of absence and notice of reinstatement. I did end my travel plans early, but the main reason is that I want to start over." Xia Ning took out another envelope from her bag.

Xu Wen took the envelope and pulled out the documents inside.

It was indeed an official notice from the school, approving Xia Ning to return to school as a new student, and her student number was also new.

"Why? What about your original credits?" Xu Wen asked puzzledly.

"I applied for exemption from some courses, and I will just relearn the rest. In the past six months, I have traveled to many places, met many people, and figured out many things. The most important thing is that I don't want to miss any important moment in my life." Xia Ning explained.

She looked directly into Xu Wen's eyes: "Including your birthday, including the important moments in your life, Xu Wen, I'm back, and this time I plan to stay."

Xu Wen could tell that Xia Ning was serious this time.

He took a deep breath and replied softly: "Welcome back, I've been waiting for you."

Xia Ning did not respond, but changed the subject directly: "Senior Xu Wen, you should take me to report first."

She blinked playfully, instantly dissolving the tense atmosphere. Now she seemed to have really become a naive freshman.

Xia Ning has walked this road many times, but she still wants Xu Wen to take her with her.

She pretended to be a freshman.

Xu Wen did not complain about this, but nodded and agreed: "Okay, this way."

They continued walking towards the administrative building, and Xia Ning began to talk incessantly about her travel experiences.

The pilgrims she met in Tibetan provinces, the ethnic minority girls she got to know, the coral reefs she saw while diving at the beach. Her voice was clear and melodious, like a string of wind chimes tinkling in the breeze.

Xu Wen listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words.

Xia Ning has changed, yet seems to have remained the same.

She is still as lively and cheerful as ever, but there is a bit more maturity and calmness in her eyes.

Still as beautiful as ever, but with a more calm and restrained temperament.

"By the way, does Gu Xingruo know that it's your birthday today?" Xia Ning suddenly said.

Xu Wen knew that she was asking questions even though she already knew the answer. She just wanted to test the current relationship status of the two.

He answered truthfully: "She said she would come to school tomorrow to celebrate my birthday. Oh, yes, she will come to Linda University next semester."

Xu Wen deliberately leaked this news.

It is impossible to hide it.

Linjiang University is so small that the two will meet sooner or later.

It’s better to say it now and see what decision Xia Ning will make.

"Oh? She applied for the exchange program at Linjiang University?" Xia Ning raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, starting next semester." Xu Wen replied.

Xia Ning was silent for a while, and finally said only three words: "I understand."

She reached out and adjusted Xu Wen's collar, her movements so natural as if they had never been apart: "You and Gu Xingruo, that's your business, I only care about whether we can still be friends?"

Xu Wenke is not satisfied with just being friends.

But he knew that this was the first step, and both of them were slowly testing each other.

So he calmly replied: "Of course, we have always been friends."

"That's good. Now take me to the dormitory, senior. I want to see where I'm going to live for the next four years." Xia Ning nodded with satisfaction and smiled mischievously.

Xu Wen replied bluntly: "It sounds nice when you call me senior. You can always call me senior from now on."

Xia Ning did not refute and smiled naturally: "Okay, senior."

When they walked downstairs to the girls' dormitory, they happened to meet Lan Qiu Sheng who was coming with a few freshmen.

"Have the formalities been completed?" Lan Qiu Sheng was the first to break the silence, his voice unnaturally calm.

"Yes, it's all done." Xu Wen nodded.

Lan Qiusheng also nodded: "I just happened to be taking these freshmen to the dormitory, how about we go together?"

Xia Ning was keenly aware of the subtle atmosphere between the two, but she just smiled and said, "Then thank you for your help."

Lan Qiusheng nodded, turned around and led the way.

Xu Wen wanted to follow them, but was stopped by the dormitory aunt: "No boys allowed! Just put your luggage here, they can carry it up by themselves."

At this time last year, Linjiang University still allowed boys to go upstairs freely.

I don’t know why they are now learning from Linda Business School.

Xu Wen silently complained in his heart: Isn’t this the father learning from his son?

"It's okay, I can do it myself." Xia Ning took the suitcase.

Xu Wen had no choice but to stand there and watch the girls in front of him walk into the dormitory silently.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, a freshman next to Lan Qiusheng asked, "Senior, who was that senior just now? He's so handsome! Does he have a girlfriend?"

Before Lan Qiusheng could answer, the girl next to him said, "You just took the college entrance examination, don't you know Teacher Xu? If you knew him this year, maybe you could go directly to Tsinghua University or Peking University!"

After she finished speaking, she did not forget to continue to promote how great Teacher Xu's ability to foresee things.

The girl next to her was so frightened that she kept nodding her head like a chick pecking at rice.

However, after saying so much, this girl still didn't mention the issue that she was most concerned about.

She asked again: "Does Teacher Xu have a girlfriend?"

The girl looked around first, then started gossiping in a low voice: "I don't know if he has a girlfriend, but I heard his ex-girlfriend came over today, and she's from the same school as us!"

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and everyone around her could hear it.

Xia Ning couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this.

When the freshman standing in front of her turned around, she said without hesitation: "I am the ex-girlfriend you are talking about."

When these words were spoken, several people were stunned on the spot.

After seeing Xia Ning's appearance, I inexplicably felt a sense of "so that's it".

Perhaps only a beauty of this level can be Xu Wen’s girlfriend.

Everyone was silent for a while, and the girl who first asked the question was the first to ask: "So how did you break up?"

This problem not only troubles her, but also troubles others.

These two people are such a handsome man and a beautiful woman, how could they break up?

Could it be because the two of them couldn’t survive their last year of high school living apart?

In the eyes of everyone, Xia Ning was a freshman like them. It would be easy for a couple to break up if one was in college and the other in high school.

Xia Ning smiled slightly and did not answer in a hurry.

She glanced to the side and noticed that Lan Qiusheng's eyes were fixed on her. When their eyes met, Lan Qiusheng quickly turned his head away, pretending that he didn't care.

"You're asking too directly!" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, someone quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

Xia Ning still had a smile on her face, and she said in a relaxed tone: "Of course it's because of a misunderstanding, just like the youth romance novels you have read."

After she finished speaking, everyone looked incredulous.

Fortunately, everyone's quality is pretty good, there are no impolite people, and no one asked any further questions.

Xia Ning's dormitory is on a higher floor.

After Lan Qiu Sheng sent the new student home, only two of them continued to walk upstairs.

Logically, she should have left at this time, but she still followed.

Xia Ning did not refuse, and the two of them remained silent tacitly.

"Can you tell me why you broke up?" Lan Qiu Sheng couldn't help it in the end.

This matter troubled her for a long time.

Suddenly one day, Xia Ning, who was originally Xu Wen’s girlfriend, disappeared without a trace.

Then soon Gu Xingruo became Xu Wen's new girlfriend.

Xia Ning did not answer, but took the initiative to ask: "Can I ask you a question?"

Lan Qiusheng took a deep breath: "What's the problem?"

At this time, the two of them had already walked to Xia Ning's dormitory.

Lan Qiu Sheng was not in a hurry to leave, but waited for that question.

Xia Ning leaned against the door frame. The sunlight shone in from the window behind her, giving her a golden edge. "You like Xu Wen, right?"

This direct question was like a knife, piercing straight into Lan Qiu Sheng's heart.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

"It's okay, I can see that. Don't worry, I'm not here to steal you. I just want to tell you that love sometimes requires a little courage." Xia Ning smiled.

She walked into the room and took one last look at Lan Qiusheng before closing the door: "By the way, your eyes are too obvious. If I were you, I would investigate why we broke up myself."

After saying that, Xia Ning closed the dormitory door, leaving Lan Qiu Sheng standing alone in the corridor.

The dormitory was empty and smelled a bit of mold and dust.

Xia Ning walked to the window, opened it, and breathed in the fresh air outside.

What she didn't know was that Lan Qiu Sheng was actually very brave.

It’s just that Xu Wen rejected Lan Qiu Sheng just like he rejected her and Gu Xingruo at the beginning.

Xia Ning closed her eyes and felt the sunlight.

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the time when she first entered college last year. At that time, one of her roommates had already arrived in the dormitory early, and Xu Wen followed her back to the dormitory.

She also took the initiative to clarify that Xu Wen was not her boyfriend.

All the scenes from the past emerged before my eyes.

Although Xia Ning feels that she has moved on from the past, she still often recalls the past.

Because that was the happiest time of her life.

After resting for a while, Xia Ning decided to clean the dormitory before other roommates arrived.

She hung the clothes in the suitcase in the closet first.

As I was bending over to organize my toiletries, there was a light knock on the dormitory door.

"Come in." She said without raising her head, thinking that it was the new roommate who came to check in early.

After the sound of the doorknob turning, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.

As soon as Xia Ning straightened up, she was hugged tightly by a warm body and the fresh scent of shampoo hit her face.

"Xia Ning! It's really you!" A familiar voice choked with sobs sounded in my ears.

Xia Ning was stunned. She was very familiar with this voice.

Fang Shujing, her roommate during her freshman year, was also the first person she saw when she entered the dormitory.

She slowly turned her head and saw Zhou Jiana and Zuo Yuqi still standing at the door, all three of them with tears in their eyes.

"You guys." Xia Ning's throat suddenly tightened and the towel in her hand fell to the ground.

Fang Shujing let her go and looked her up and down with red eyes: "You have lost a lot of weight."

She reached out and stroked Xia Ning's cheek: "Where have you been in the past six months? Why didn't you contact us?"

Zhou Jiana walked over quickly and put the plastic bag on the table: "We bought your favorite milk tea, the old flavor."

Her voice was trembling a little, and her fingers were unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes.

Zuo Yuqi stood at the back. As a person from Northeast China, she is always lively.

But at this moment she remained silent, just staring at Xia Ning, as if she was afraid that she would disappear again.

Xia Ning felt a sour feeling in her nose.

She didn't expect that her former roommates would come to see her, and she didn't expect that they would still remember her favorite flavor of milk tea.

When she left without saying goodbye half a year ago, she thought her fate with these roommates she had met by chance was over.

"I" Xia Ning opened her mouth, but didn't know where to start.

She couldn't tell them the real reason.

"I have a serious illness and need to rest, so..." She finally said softly. This was the lie that was closest to the truth she could think of.

Her voice became lower and lower, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed the bracelet on her wrist.

The dormitory fell into a brief silence.

"It's okay, you're glad you're back. Try it and see if it still tastes the same." Zhou Jiana broke the silence and handed over the milk tea with a forced smile.

Xia Ning took the milk tea and her fingertips felt the coolness of the cup.

She remembered that last winter, the four of them often squeezed into the dormitory to drink milk tea and watch movies.

At that time, Xu Wen would come to pick her up for a date, always waiting patiently downstairs and never rushing her.

"Thank you." She said softly, and the sound of the straw piercing the seal was particularly clear in the quiet dormitory.

The familiar sweet fragrance filled her mouth, and Xia Ning's eyes instantly became moist.

Zuo Yuqi finally couldn't help it and rushed over to hug her: "You bastard! Do you know how worried we are?"

Her tears soaked Xia Ning's shoulders: "Wang Yitong asked around for your information. The counselor said you had taken a leave of absence. We thought you..."

Xia Ning patted her back gently, feeling this once noisy roommate trembling in her arms.

She recalled that on Zuo Yuqi's birthday last year, the four of them secretly ate hot pot in the dormitory and almost triggered the smoke alarm. It was Wang Yitong who helped fool the dormitory manager who was checking the dormitories.

"I'm sorry, I should have told you." Xia Ning apologized sincerely.

Fang Shujing pulled Zuo Yuqi away and handed Xia Ning a tissue: "Don't talk about this. You know, the three of us originally applied to change dormitories this semester and wanted to continue living together."

"Yes, when the list came out, we found out that you had taken a leave of absence. We went to ask the counselor about the situation, and he just said that you had personal reasons." Zhou Jiana took over the conversation, with regret in her voice.

Xia Ning wiped away her tears and looked at the three concerned faces in front of her.

She suddenly realized that the six months of traveling had healed her pain.

But it also casts dust over these sincere friendships.
