Chapter 214 Zhou Zeran's Indifference
Zhou Zeran's voice was as cold as the winter wind, devoid of any warmth.
Xu Rou was immediately embarrassed, her smile frozen on her face, as if she had been frozen.
She felt her face burning, as if she had been slapped hard.
The hand holding the gift also awkwardly froze in mid-air.
"Zhou Zeran, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Rou's voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, carrying a hint of accusation.
"I kindly prepared a gift for you, and you just ignore it like that?"
Zhou Zeran frowned, his frustration rising like a volcano about to erupt.
He was already in a bad mood because of what happened with Xiao Yu, and now that Xu Rou was pressing him for answers, he felt he was about to lose his temper.
"How dare you say that? What's going on between you and Xiao Yu? Don't think I can't see through the shady dealings between you two." Zhou Zeran's tone was sharp, his eyes burning with anger.
He stared straight at Xu Rou like an enraged lion.
Xu Rou's face turned deathly pale, her eyes widened as if she had heard something unbelievable.
Xu Rou said, feeling wronged and angry, "Me and Xiao Yu? What are you talking about? We have nothing!"
Her voice was shrill with excitement, and her body was heaving violently, like a frightened little rabbit.
"Hmph, nothing at all? Do you think I'm stupid? I saw it all, and you're still trying to deny it!" Zhou Zeran's lips curled into a mocking smile, which looked particularly glaring in the dim light.
Xu Rou was so angry that she trembled all over, and tears welled up in her eyes, like glistening pearls about to roll off.
"Zhou Zeran, how could you slander me like this? You don't believe me at all!" Xu Rou's voice was choked with sobs, as if her heart had been trampled on by Zhou Zeran.
"Xu Rou, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. There's something between you and Xiao Yu that's not quite clear." He looked at Xu Rou and said coldly.
Xu Rou exclaimed, "Zhou Zeran, don't make false accusations. Xiao Yu and I are just ordinary friends; we only exchanged a few words."
Zhou Zeran sneered and said, "Ordinary friends? Who are you trying to fool with your intimate behavior?"
"Zhou Zeran, how could you misunderstand me like this? You're the only one in my heart," Xu Rou said, feeling wronged.
Her pitiful appearance stirred his heart with pity.
Then Zhou Zeran remembered that he was still heavily in debt, most of which Xu Rou had helped him solve, and his anger subsided a lot.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, and said, "Forget it, I don't want to argue with you."
After a pause, he added, "It's getting late, go home and get some rest."
Zhou Zeran resumed his usual attitude towards Xu Rou, though it was a bit stiff.
Seeing that his attitude had softened, Xu Rou hurriedly explained, "Zeran, I have nothing to do with Xiao Yuzhen."
Zhou Zeran gave Xu Rou a deep look, but ultimately said nothing.
Xu Rou wanted to escape the current atmosphere, so she said cautiously, "Zeran, I'm tired, so I'll go back first."
Zhou Zeran nodded.
Xu Rou pretended to go back to her dormitory and turned to leave.
Her steps were heavy, and her mood was extremely low.
When Xu Rou entered the dormitory, a chilling aura wafted towards her.
The dormitory was empty; there wasn't a single person in it.
Filled with loneliness and solitude, Xu Rou's mind involuntarily conjured up the image of Gu Tingyu.
