Chapter 43: Du Henian, are you crying? ~
When they arrived at the store, it was just around noon and there were very few people inside.
The engagement rings were placed in a box. The men’s and women’s rings had the same style, just different sizes. The men’s rings were a bit more rugged in style, while the women’s rings were slightly more elegant.
After taking a rough look, there was nothing that needed to be changed. The design effect was the same as the model given to them at the time. So Tang Man and the others simply put on the rings and left.
However, the feeling that the engagement brought to her was still very weak now, because the engagement did not bring much change to Tang Man’s life. Her interaction with Xie Li was still relatively harmonious, just sometimes there might be some awkwardness. It was like childhood friends suddenly becoming lovers.
But it wasn’t as difficult to accept as she had imagined. At least Xie Li’s state in private was completely different from when he was at work, which she had just discovered.
After getting the rings at the store, Tang Man was ready to go back to the school. It was about graduation season now. The things she had previously left in the school also needed to be taken away. There were a lot of miscellaneous items, which would definitely be inconvenient to pack up. Since she was moving now, she might as well pack up her luggage at the school as well.
Xie Li happened to be free today. To be precise, he specially sent her to the school to move things, fully playing the role of a boyfriend.
The campus where she did her postgraduate studies was not small. It took about twenty minutes to walk from the nearest school gate to her dormitory. She usually commuted by bicycle for classes.
Xie Li waited downstairs when they arrived at the dormitory building. Tang Man went upstairs alone first. The other three people in the dormitory happened to be there today, chatting and laughing together. More than half of the things inside had been packed up, and the space that used to feel a bit crowded suddenly became more spacious.
Tang Man attracted the attention of several people as soon as she entered the door.
Although they had been together for three years, Tang Man’s relationship with the other three roommates was not close. In the eyes of these three roommates, Tang Man was a person with a bit of a mysterious aura. She was good-looking, seemingly from a good family background, and had a handsome boyfriend. She could be said to be a winner in life.
Such people naturally give others a sense of distance, making people feel afraid to approach. Even if they do approach, it’s not easy to get along with them. For people at their level, it’s very easy to feel inferior when getting along with someone like Tang Man, and their minds become sensitive.
“Are you guys also leaving the school today?”
Tang Man brought a few cups of cold drinks into the dormitory and put them on the table, one for each roommate.
The three of them smiled and said thank you in unison, then took the drinks. One of the roommates replied, “No, I have a train ticket for today. The other two will stay here for a night before leaving.”
Tang Man nodded.
But the roommate who had spoken suddenly exclaimed, causing the other two to look at her as well. Tang Man was also startled and blinked, looking at that roommate.
The other party raised a finger and pointed at her hand, very surprised, “Tang Man, you got married?”
The ring on Tang Man’s right index finger shone brightly, unobstructed, boldly displaying itself in front of people.
She met the eyes of the three people looking at her, touched the ring on her index finger, smiled, and said lightly, “Just engaged.”
“So you plan to marry Du Henian after graduation?” The roommate exclaimed in amazement.
Speaking of which, they hadn’t heard any news about Du Henian for a while. It seemed that something had happened and he had taken a long leave of absence.
It seemed that the news of her breakup with Du Henian had not spread yet, and the news of her reconciliation and breakup with Si Jiahe had not spread either.
Tang Man’s hand paused for a moment when she heard this, but the smile on her face didn’t change. “My fiancé is not Du Henian. I broke up with him more than a month ago.”
The three people in the dormitory quieted down, their faces becoming a little embarrassed and awkward, but their eyes were full of curiosity and doubt. However, they were too embarrassed to ask, so they could only suppress their emotions and had to show an embarrassed expression.
Although there is a saying that the graduation season is the breakup season, Du Henian and Tang Man were recognized as the golden couple of the school. Most people thought they would go all the way and enter the hall of marriage. They never thought that these two would also reach this point.
“He’s waiting for me downstairs now. Let’s have a meal together later. I guess it will be difficult for us to meet again after this farewell.”
Among the people in the dormitory, only Tang Man was a local. The other three were from all over the country, coming here to study. It would be really difficult to meet again in the future.
Tang Man took the lead in breaking this kind of awkward silence, smiling and extending an invitation, “He should be quite happy to treat you guys to a meal.”
The three of them looked at each other, then nodded in unison with great tacit understanding. How could they miss out on this kind of exciting event? And they were all quite interested in Tang Man’s suddenly appearing fiancé.
To defeat Du Henian, he must be no worse, right?
So Tang Man privately sent a text message to Xie Li, asking him to book a restaurant first, as she had an appointment to have lunch with her roommates.
After sending the message, she started packing her luggage. There were too many things, all sorts of miscellaneous items. It took more than half an hour to pack, and in the end, there were so many things that she had to ask the few people in the dormitory to help carry them downstairs together.
Xie Li’s car was parked under the street lamp downstairs, quite eye-catching. It could be seen as soon as one walked out the door, especially since the car window was rolled down, revealing most of his face. People who walked by couldn’t help but be a little stunned when they subconsciously looked up, and then couldn’t help but look again.
When Tang Man went downstairs, she heard two students saying that they saw a handsome guy in the dormitory building, sitting in a car, with an extraordinary temperament and handsome appearance. At first glance, he was a rich person, and he was also good-looking. They guessed he was waiting for his girlfriend.
She didn’t think much of it at the time and subconsciously thought that the person they were talking about was Xie Li. The three roommates also heard it and glanced at Tang Man, thinking that the man they were talking about was most likely Tang Man’s mysterious fiancé. They secretly guessed what kind of person Tang Man’s fiancé was to make even Du Henian lose out.
