Luosang watched him drive away cockily, she was still gathering her thoughts about her new-found boyfriend. “Am I going to have someone to take care of me in this city from now on?” she thought.
She believed that he had the capability to accede to all her requests and deal with Yi Jingxi as well.
But she didn’t want him to find out about her past, she didn’t want him to think of her father as a federal criminal.
…
At 10.20am, Luosang hurriedly entered the mass media studies class conducted by Professor Wen. Immediately as she set foot into the classroom, all eyes were on her. She walked bravely along the sides of the wall as people started pointing and whispering about her.
She was used to it. Several boys who used to court her came up to her when she took her seat, “Luosang, the forum is filled with posts about your boyfriend, is it true? I heard that he is a rich boy.”
“… Yeah,” Luosang remembered what Nian Junting said to her. It was true that she attracted many males around her, but when she was in trouble, none of them rendered her assistance.
These boys, they wanted to put down what they couldn’t have.
“So, you’ve always had a boyfriend? Why didn’t you tell us, were you out to play with our feelings?” one of the boys said suddenly, he was mocking her.
Luosang laughed coldly, “Toying with your feelings? I’ve never flirted with you before, have I?”
“You had a boyfriend but kept it from everyone, giving us false delusions. You’re purposely leading us on!” the boy accused her angrily.
“It’s natural for pretty girls to have suitors. You’re being extremely childish right now, blaming her for having a boyfriend after failing to gain her affection,” Chi Shengxu appealed from behind. He swiftly lifted the boy by his collar and threw him to the side.
“Don’t think I’m afraid of you just because you are famous now,” the boy was livid, “Look at you, coming over to our faculty so frequently, I think you fancy Luosang as well. Too bad you don’t stand a chance; don’t you find it ridiculous being toyed around like that?”
“Listen to how pathetic you sound,” Chi Shengxu looked at the boy with despise and raised his fist, “Be careful about what you say next. I’m warning you right now, leave her alone for good.”
The boy twisted his lips and walked away huffily.
“Thank you,” Luosang gave him a bright smile, she can’t imagine what it would be like if her name wasn’t cleared from the thievery case.
“I thought you already left, you’re quite free lately, aren’t you? I’ve been seeing you around quite frequently.”
“I can’t neglect my studies while juggling my job as an actor. The professors here don’t care about how famous you are when it comes to grading your assignments,” Chi Shengsu took the seat next to her and opened his textbook, “Your boyfriend left already?”
The term ‘boyfriend’ caught her off guard, “Yeah, he left,” she replied after a second.
“You’re really seeing each other?” Chi Shengxu looked at her meaningfully.
“…Yes.”
“Oh, I see,” he said with disappointment, “I thought he was just playing your boyfriend because of the theft.”
Luosang was surprised, he called it accurately.
“Looks like I don’t have a shot anymore,” he shrugged his shoulders, “I was planning to announce that I was chasing after you on the school forum when I heard about what happened. I thought I could vouch for your character, but I didn’t want to invite more trouble for you.”
