"The main character speaks, didn’t expect it to be true."
"Two women fighting over one man, is it that explosive?"
"What’s explosive? This is clearly sabotaging someone else’s relationship."
"Heard it’s the top student of the grade, never would have thought... the world is getting worse."
Zhou Xitong and Sun Tianyu’s smiles grew even thicker upon hearing these conversations.
Qingqing was wrapped in rumors, standing alone and helpless.
However, just at that moment, a man appeared behind her.
Hands with distinct bones rested on the girl’s shoulders.
Without much weight, they seemed to carry a huge burden.
Qingqing turned around, seeing Jingze’s solemn expression for the first time.
The previously gossiping crowd suddenly closed their mouths, unable to take their eyes off Jingze.
This person is too... too good-looking.
Even more handsome than actors on television.
"I’m here," he said, three simple words that somehow offered inexplicable comfort.
When Zhou Xitong and Ye Chunxiao were sarcastically taunting her in their dorm, Qingqing hadn’t reacted.
Every day, when confronted with various rumors, Qingqing didn’t care much either.
However, the moment she saw Jingze, an unprovoked sense of grievance rose within her heart.
It was like a child who falls on the ground alone would quickly get up, dust off their pants nonchalantly, and continue walking forward.
But the moment they see their family, they immediately burst into tears, their eyes turning red.
Because someone loves them, every wound gains the value of grievance, knowing there’s someone to offer gentle comfort.
"Why are you here?" Qingqing sniffled, surprised by Jingze’s presence.
"Heard you were being bullied. Just came to check," he said.
To see who was so eager to court death.
Zhou Xitong had been staring at Jingze’s face since he showed up, her eyes filled with fascination.
If we’re talking about family background, Sun Tianyu couldn’t compare to hers; she dated him simply because he was good-looking.
And when it came to appearance, Jingze was levels above Sun Tianyu.
Upon seeing this scene, Sun Tianyu sneered.
"Bullied? She shamelessly clings to me. Xitong and I couldn’t bother to argue with her."
Jingze raised an eyebrow, "Clinging to you?"
He didn’t say anything else, but his expression clearly spelled out three words.
Sun Tianyu immediately grew furious, "Who are you to her?"
Jingze looked at Qingqing, his gaze shifting from sharp to tender, causing the girls watching to uncontrollably blush.
Everything was said without words.
Everyone understood Jingze’s feelings.
Someone couldn’t help but whisper, "With such a handsome guy, how could she ever be interested in Sun Tianyu?"
"Indeed, I’d wake up laughing from my dream," another added.
Sun Tianyu’s expression became fierce, "Just a pretty boy, looks like a punk."
The crowd was puzzled; Jingze certainly didn’t look like a student from their school.
He seemed to be a bit older than them too.
Could such a good-looking face really belong to just a punk?
The girls felt a pang of regret.
Such a pity, who would have thought...
Just then, Zhuang Lan, who had just finished his duty, walked out slowly.
At the sight of Jingze, the youth sprang to life as if winding up a clock.
Many knew that Zhuang Lan and Qingqing both came from Zhuancheng and were academic aces in their grade.
Zhuang Lan, who was usually haughty and kept to himself, had never been seen so enthusiastic.
Zhuang Lan circled around Jingze like the most ardent fan.
"Senior Jingze, shouldn’t you be at Minghua University? How come you have time to visit our school?"
The crowd almost couldn’t believe their ears.
