My Soft AI Boyfriend Turned into a Rough Man—and Kisses Me Until I Am Pregnant - Chapter 35

Even if Xu Xiaoguai were the dullest person alive, she could still grasp the meaning behind Duan Yanzheng’s words.

“He… he isn’t like what you said,” Xu Xiaoguai replied, enunciating each word deliberately. “He respects me.”

Duan Yanzheng hadn’t expected the usually quiet Xu Xiaoguai to talk back. He chuckled and said, “Is that because you haven’t spent much time with him? You’re in school every day, and… I know you often take on part-time jobs, so you probably don’t have many opportunities to be with him, right?”

“Th-that’s not true!”

Xu Xiaoguai truly didn’t like hearing others speak ill of Lu Wang, but she couldn’t refute what Duan Yanzheng had just said. After all, it was true that she hadn’t spent much time with Lu Wang.

But… but she could feel that Lu Wang genuinely cared for her.

Duan Yanzheng could clearly see that Xu Xiaoguai was feeling uneasy, and it made him even more confident. That man might have good looks, but girls her age needed companionship and attention to detail more than anything else. No matter what, his chances of winning Xu Xiaoguai over weren’t small. And after today’s conversation, Duan Yanzheng felt even more self-assured.

“See? You don’t even believe what you’re saying. Let’s drop this topic for now. How about we head to the classroom together later, once Qi Yu gets back?”

Xu Xiaoguai had intended to refuse, but thinking of Qi Yu, she decided not to say anything further.

Just then, her phone vibrated. She glanced at it and saw a WeChat message from Qi Yu:

[My dear Xiaoguai, I know you’ve been thinking about dating lately.]

[Our class monitor isn’t bad-looking, so I’ll head back first. You two can come to class together later. I can tell he likes you, hahahahaha!]

Xu Xiaoguai was dumbfounded. Hadn’t she already told Qi Yu that she was in a relationship?

Oh no, oh no!

She looked toward the milk tea shop, but Qi Yu was long gone. Standing up, she said, “Um, Class Monitor, maybe you should go to the classroom first…”

Duan Yanzheng also rose to his feet. “Xu Xiaoguai, I only suggested we walk to class together. Do you dislike me that much? Are you really this resistant? You’re making me feel awkward.”

Xu Xiaoguai pressed her lips together.

It wasn’t her fault he felt awkward, why should she care? She didn’t quite understand him; he was being a bit unreasonable.

“I’m not resisting you. I just think it might lead to misunderstandings, and I don’t want that to happen because my boyfriend would get upset.”

With that, Xu Xiaoguai picked up her things and walked away without even glancing back at Duan Yanzheng.

In matters like this, she had her own principles. If she didn’t want to date someone, she wouldn’t. If she hesitated or seemed indecisive, it would only give others false hope. She couldn’t do that, it wouldn’t be right.

As Xu Xiaoguai stepped outside, she spotted Qi Yu at the entrance.

Qi Yu hadn’t left at all. Instead, she had been secretly observing the two of them from the cafeteria doorway. She had originally intended to play matchmaker, especially since Duan Yanzheng wasn’t bad-looking. But she hadn’t expected the usually mild-mannered Xu Xiaoguai to look so angry just now. Qi Yu realized she might have messed up.

She had planned to send Xu Xiaoguai another WeChat message, but before she could, Xu Xiaoguai had already walked out.

Well, now I’m really going to get caught.

“Hehe, Xiaoguai, you came out so quickly.”

Qi Yu felt a bit guilty.

“So, where’s Duan Yanzheng?”

Xu Xiaoguai looked at her, both angry and helpless. “You actually sneaked off behind my back, and even lied to me. Qi Yu, what’s going on with you? How could you side with someone else?”

She puffed up her cheeks, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qi Yu. Though she didn’t seem particularly intimidating, Qi Yu, feeling guilty about what she’d done, couldn’t help but feel she was in the wrong.

“Ahem, Xiaoguai, how can you say I’m siding with someone else? I just thought you might want to start dating, so I figured I’d try to set you two up.”

Qi Yu walked over and linked arms with her. “Don’t be mad, Xiaoguai. I promise I won’t do something like this again. It’s just that you’re always dating your virtual boyfriend, and I thought, now that we’re in college, why not try something real?”

She stretched out her arms, exaggerating her tone. “Experience the embrace of a real man!”

Xu Xiaoguai blushed at her words.

“Hey, we’re still out in public!”

As if she were desperate for a man!

Even before she met Lu Wang, she wasn’t like that.

“Besides, I’ve already experienced a man’s embrace.”

Xu Xiaoguai muttered under her breath, but Qi Yu, with her sharp ears, caught it immediately.

“When did you experience that? Wake up, sweetie. Virtual boyfriends may be perfect, and if I could actually hug one, I wouldn’t bother dating either. It’s just a shame…”

Qi Yu shook her head. “You’re still so young.”

Xu Xiaoguai took a deep breath. “See, you don’t believe me. I really am dating someone! When the time comes… I’ll bring him to meet you, okay? You’re my best friend, so of course I have to show him to you.”

Qi Yu looked at Xu Xiaoguai as if she were beyond help.

How could such a sweet girl become so delusional?

How could she possibly bring a virtual boyfriend to meet her?

Oh well, never mind.

Qi Yu didn’t want to ruin Xu Xiaoguai’s mood. If the silly girl said she had a boyfriend, then so be it.

She wasn’t going to believe it anyway.

“Alright, alright, let’s go. We need to get to class.”

Qi Yu nudged Xu Xiaoguai toward the classroom.

The girl pouted slightly. She knew Qi Yu still wouldn’t believe her.

Hmph.

If she didn’t believe her, so be it.

She really did have a boyfriend.

Well… she supposed she did.

Since it was Monday, they had a full day of classes. It was almost 6 p.m. when Xu Xiaoguai finally left the teaching building. The teacher had assigned homework, and she felt it would be awkward to do it at home with Lu Wang watching her.

That didn’t seem right.

So, Xu Xiaoguai decided to stay in the classroom and finish her homework there. Qi Yu didn’t ask why she wasn’t going home to do it, knowing full well that Xu Xiaoguai’s parents were… unconventional. Who knew what kind of chaos they might have stirred up at home?

Instead, Qi Yu played on her phone while waiting. Once Xu Xiaoguai finished her homework, Qi Yu took a photo of it with her phone, planning to copy it later.

“I’m heading home now, Xiao Yu. You should hurry back to the dorm too.”

Xu Xiaoguai waved at Qi Yu and walked off.

When she reached the school gate, she took out her phone to check the map, trying to figure out which bus would take her to Lu Wang’s apartment.

But as she was looking at her phone, a voice suddenly came from above her.

“Looking at your phone while walking? Aren’t you afraid you’ll bump into your husband?”

A familiar voice reached her ears, and Xu Xiaoguai immediately looked up in pleasant surprise.

Lu Wang had actually come to pick her up!

Ever since she started middle school, no one had ever accompanied her to or from school.

Xu Xiaoguai was overjoyed to see Lu Wang. She smoothly slipped her phone into her pocket with a cheerful motion.

“Did you just get off work before coming to pick me up?”
