Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

After asking her question, Chu Lingxiu looked at Gu Shuxin and waited for her answer.

Gu Shuxin, however, seemed completely unprepared for such a question. For a moment, a flicker of panic even crossed her face.

”I... Yuqing told me. The girl who switched dorms with you.”

”Oh, so that’s it!”

Chu Lingxiu nodded, but she still had her doubts about the answer.

’She knew Gu Shuxin wasn’t the type to care about people she found uninteresting, so she definitely wouldn’t have gone out of her way to ask about other dorms.’

’And as for Cao Yuqing, given how much she clearly hated this dorm, she probably wouldn’t have been kind enough to voluntarily tell Gu Shuxin who lived there!’

’Besides, even if, by some miracle, Cao Yuqing did mention it, how could Gu Shuxin be so certain that this Shen Nian was the same Shen Nian she knew?’

’There had to be another reason. Chu Lingxiu couldn’t bring herself to believe that Gu Shuxin didn’t have some other motive concerning Shen Nian.’

However, after hearing Gu Shuxin’s answer, Chu Lingxiu decided not to dwell on it. It didn’t matter what Gu Shuxin said; as long as she could make her own judgment, that was enough.

’Her big brother was right. She shouldn’t learn about things from other people. She should judge for herself and find out what the truth really was.’

”I think my current dorm is pretty good. There’s nothing I’m unhappy about, and I’m getting used to it.”

”But...”

Of course, that wasn’t the answer Gu Shuxin wanted to hear. But since she didn’t know Shen Nian well, she couldn’t immediately think of a way to subtly poison Chu Lingxiu’s opinion of her.

”But what? Don’t you want me to get along with my roommates?”

”Of course not. It’s just that you’ve always been so kind-hearted, Lingxiu. I’m worried you’ll be taken advantage of.”

Chu Lingxiu laughed when she heard Gu Shuxin’s words. ’Worried I’ll be taken advantage of because I’m too kind? But so far, the only one who has ever deceived me so cruelly is the person standing right in front of me!’

”I’m not a kid anymore. I’m not that easily fooled! Besides, I think I was wrong before. Shen Nian is actually a really good person!”

Chu Lingxiu looked at Gu Shuxin. ’Doesn’t she want me to have a bad relationship with Shen Nian? Fine. I’ll just have to show her how well we’re getting along and see how she reacts!’

”But didn’t you say you hated her before!”

”You said it yourself—that was *before*! Besides, the only reason I disliked her was because of you! If you didn’t like Lu Cheng, why would I have disliked her? But that’s all in the past now. You’re with Qi Chengliang, so you must not like Lu Cheng anymore, right?”

”I...”

Gu Shuxin’s original plan had been to wait a while, and once she had Qi Chengliang wrapped around her finger, she would tell Chu Lingxiu that she was only trying things with him to get over Lu Cheng, but that she discovered she just couldn’t forget him.

She was confident that, given how much Chu Lingxiu trusted her, she wouldn’t have suspected a thing.

But now, Chu Lingxiu’s words had completely thrown off her expectations.

”And don’t you dare say you have no feelings for Qi Chengliang! I can tell he treats you really well, and you like him too, don’t you? Otherwise, why would you accept so many expensive gifts from him?”

Gu Shuxin’s expression soured even more at Chu Lingxiu’s words.
