"I’m not lying to you, I bought it for 3000 yuan, it’s a smart toilet seat."
"...Then I’ll go give it a try."
Tang Li watched Wu Xuehan and Yu Sui enter the dormitory, and only after the door next door closed did she feel at ease, returned to the dormitory, and knocked on the bathroom door.
Song Baiyan opened the door and came out.
"I’ll walk you downstairs." Tang Li packed the electronic cigarette and its cartridges into a paper bag.
There are no elevators installed in the school’s apartment building.
When they reached the first floor, Tang Li took the initiative to say, "It’s not that I don’t want you to meet my roommates, but I just feel it’s not the right time yet."
She stopped on the steps and looked at Song Baiyan: "I hope our relationship can be made public on the day I am worthy to stand by your side. At that time, I won’t be a burden to you, and you won’t be gossiped about because of me."
Although in her last life she only lived for a little more than twenty years, she had seen the warmth and coldness of the world, and now Tang Li no longer held an overly optimistic attitude.
Song Baiyan becoming the New President, Tang Li didn’t think it was a good thing for people to find out that he was closely involved with a 19-year-old girl.
Fairy tales only exist in stories and dreams.
If they made their relationship public now, perhaps there would be blessings, but more likely there would be public pressure.
Tang Li believed that if their relationship were exposed today, tomorrow there would be countless reporters at their door, not to interview her and Song Baiyan’s love story, but to press her to admit she was a kept mistress of the New President or to suggestively ask her if Song Baiyan forced her into the relationship.
Sooner or later, her background would be dug up.
Lai Family People would definitely not protect her.
Even if Lai Wenyan wanted to ingratiate himself with Song Baiyan, in the face of harsh public scrutiny, to cover up his own affairs, he would likely abandon his own daughter.
The disparity in social status and age difference would inevitably be questioned.
Her grandfather was a drug trafficker.
Before finding a solution to the problem, Tang Li only wanted to keep a low profile, not wanting to see Song Baiyan dragged into a whirlpool of public opinion as soon as he took office.
She could ignore other people’s criticisms, but she couldn’t stop thinking about him.
Tang Li paused, then continued, "I will try hard not to let that day come too late."
"Don’t you feel wronged?" Song Baiyan asked.
His gaze made Tang Li feel warmth: "I’m not short-sighted, I have to plan for the future, and I can’t just care about the vanity of the moment. Plus, I also want to be an actress, and if others find out about your relationship with me, I won’t be able to make it in the future."
Song Baiyan looked at her, Tang Li did not have the petty concerns that some girls had, she did not clamor to make their relationship public, but instead thought everything through carefully.
"I’m already very happy that you came to see me at school tonight."
Song Baiyan sighed and suddenly hugged her gently: "Such sensibleness really saves a lot of worry."
This hug made Tang Li’s cheeks heat up.
"So you don’t have to look after me every day, just water me occasionally, and I can grow strong on my own." She reached out and hugged Song Baiyan back: "When I grow into a towering tree, I can also protect you from wind and rain."
Song Baiyan chuckled, his arms tightening around her: "Even if you grow into a towering tree, there’s no need to be strong when it’s not necessary."
Tang Li pursed her lips, then asked, "What about you, do you hope our relationship is public?"
"Keeping it private is to protect you at this stage."
While Tang Li was walking upstairs, she kept thinking about what Song Baiyan had said, never before had she thought that one day someone would treasure and care for her .
Yu Sui was standing outside the dormitory, and when she saw Tang Li return, she took out a box of pills from her pocket and handed them to her: "If you didn’t use a condom, remember to take the medicine."
