Li Bowen glanced at the speaker, then calmly withdrew his gaze, remaining silent.
The person didn't seem to feel awkward. Smiling, they greeted Wen Xuanyuan, "Hello, are you his girlfriend? I'm Lu Liluo, Li Bowen's classmate."
Since the person was smiling, Wen Xuanyuan couldn't ignore them. She replied with a smile, "Hello, I'm Wen Xuanyuan."
Lu Liluo showed no outward sign of anything unusual, appearing purely happy to reunite with an old classmate.
"Am I disturbing your vacation? Haha, it's quite exciting to run into an old classmate abroad."
Wen Xuanyuan maintained a polite smile and said nothing.
*Does this person have extreme social skills? Li Bowen clearly doesn't want to talk to her.*
Lu Liluo showed no embarrassment. She chuckled, "I saw you just now. I thought I'd mistaken you, but my friend said it was Li Bowen, and she was right. So I came over to say hello.
He treats you really well. You wouldn't know it, but he was the campus heartthrob back in school, yet he was notoriously cold.
I was his deskmate back then, and I used to hand out love letters for others to him so much that my hands got tired!"
This was quite a lot of information. Wen Xuanyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Bowen, smiling, "It seems you were very popular!"
Her attention wasn't on the love letters, but on the deskmate comment. For this person to say such things, it was hard not to let her imagination wander.
Li Bowen's expression suddenly darkened. He said coldly, "Excuse me, classmate Lu Liluo, we are not close."
Lu Liluo's expression stiffened, and tears welled up in her eyes. She forced a smile and said, "I, I didn't mean anything else. Don't be angry."
She then looked at Wen Xuanyuan, her eyes betraying a hint of hurt that she couldn't quite conceal.
"Although he was popular, he never liked any girl. Please don't misunderstand."
Wen Xuanyuan was completely bewildered.
Misunderstand what? What did she say? She hadn't done anything! Why was this person explaining to her?
This sounded as if Li Bowen was ignoring her because of her.
Li Bowen's face grew even more displeased. He grabbed Wen Xuanyuan's hand, intending to leave.
But Wen Xuanyuan was not the type to back down when provoked. Even though she knew Li Bowen disdained interacting with unimportant people.
She smiled brightly at Lu Liluo, her tone as gentle as could be.
"Since we're classmates, why talk about misunderstandings? Who doesn't have a few classmates, a few deskmates."
Lu Liluo had not expected Wen Xuanyuan to react this way. Her face was filled with surprise.
However, she quickly concealed it and smiled again. Before she could say anything, Wen Xuanyuan continued.
"Li Bowen is a really straightforward guy, and his photography skills are terrible. Fortunately, we ran into you. It's fate. Could you take a few photos for us? I'm sure you won't refuse. Thanks."
With that, she handed her phone to Lu Liluo and then gave Li Bowen a sly smile, pulling him a little distance away.
Li Bowen didn't quite understand her intention at first, but seeing the slyness in her eyes, and then feeling her arm intimately around his waist, he immediately understood.
This girl was truly vengeful, but how could he not love it!
Lu Liluo struggled to control her expression, forcing herself to smile. But looking at the intimate pair before her.
She couldn't control herself at all, her face a twisted mess, neither smiling nor crying.
Wen Xuanyuan pretended not to see her expression, smiling brilliantly and striking various intimate poses with Li Bowen.
Li Bowen happily cooperated with her. As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.
As for Lu Liluo, she was completely outside his considerations.
If this person hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have completely forgotten about her.
Talking about classmates, love letters, deskmates—it was all nonsense.
In their three years of high school, he hadn't spoken a single word to her. As for love letters, there were piles of them every day; who knew who sent them.
The idea of her being his deskmate was preposterous. Back then, he sat alone at a table in a corner; there were no deskmates.
Lu Liluo sat next to him, but she was so far away. She was hardly a deskmate.
After taking several photos, Wen Xuanyuan's eyes gleamed with amusement as she observed Lu Liluo's increasingly unpleasant expression.
Once she had her fill, she stopped, raised an eyebrow at Li Bowen, and happily walked towards Lu Liluo.
"Are the photos done? Thank you so much. Haha, how about I treat you to lunch?"
Lu Liluo forced a smile and returned the phone to Wen Xuanyuan.
"Sure! I'll trouble you then."
*What a thick skin.*
Wen Xuanyuan's smile deepened. *As long as you dare to come, I'll make sure you can't eat anything out of anger!*
Flipping through the photos she took, Wen Xuanyuan was genuinely pleased now.
Despite the person's unpleasantness, her photography skills were decent; she knew how to find good angles.
"Li Bowen, come here. Learn from your classmate. Look how good she is at taking pictures."
Li Bowen walked over, but his eyes were only on Wen Xuanyuan, not sparing a glance at the person beside them.
"Look at the rubbish you've taken. I don't even want to comment on you..."
Wen Xuanyuan continued to chatter.
Li Bowen simply looked at her, his gaze gentle, filled with adoration.
Lu Liluo could only grit her teeth in frustration.
She had sat next to Li Bowen for three whole years, yet she didn't even have the right to speak a word to him.
She had tried her best to catch his attention, but she couldn't get even a fraction closer to him.
And this Wen Xuanyuan could boss him around. Why?
To get closer to Li Bowen, she had deliberately enrolled in the same university as him.
Throughout their four years of university, she had appeared before him numerous times, only to be completely ignored.
As they graduated, she drifted further and further away from him, making it incredibly difficult to even see him.
In recent years, her eyes had no room for anyone else. Having seen the moon, how could she fall for a star?
And this encounter was purely accidental, but a pleasant surprise followed by an even greater one.
He actually had a girlfriend.
There had never been another woman by his side.
Lost in thought, Wen Xuanyuan and Li Bowen walked away, arm in arm.
Xu Yujun frowned and cautiously asked, "Liluo, should we follow them?"
Going with them would be inviting humiliation, but she didn't dare to say that.
If it wasn't for Lu Limuo telling her to go and strike up a conversation, she wouldn't have made such a fool of herself.
Lu Liluo adjusted her mindset and curved her lips, "Yes, why not..."
She wasn't someone who gave up easily!
Xu Yujun was speechless, but she didn't dare to discourage her, so she reluctantly followed behind her.
Wen Xuanyuan directly sent the photos to Li Bowen, asking him to choose one for his profile picture and to post it on his Moments.
In the past, she hadn't cared about such things, but Lu Liluo's appearance had annoyed her.
She wanted Li Bowen to make their relationship public.
