"What are you doing here?" He Zhilan didn’t feel like playing nice with Ding Long.
"Of course I came to the library to read~" Ding Long drew out the last syllable of the word ’book’, and added after that, which made He Zhilan noticeably upset, "Just thought I’d drop by to see you~ I’ve been missing you these past few days~"
"We are not familiar with each other, and you’re not a student from Capital University. The university library is only open for university students. Please leave." He Zhilan’s serious expression wasn’t exaggerated. In this era, which was still quite conservative, any man with frivolous words and actions would invite many people’s dissatisfaction, even if he was good-looking.
The library administrator also noticed the situation here, and upon hearing the man was not a student of the university, he went to stand by He Zhilan, scrutinized him with a glance and asked Ding Long to leave with a cold face.
Ding Long didn’t pick a fight with the manager and left with a smile.
This nuisance came and went quickly, but He Zhilan was left somewhat anxious. She was worried that the administrator would reprimand her for inviting such a person to the library. Fortunately, the administrator just walked away without saying anything. It seemed that he did not blame her.
"He Zhilan, how do you know this person?" asked a colleague who was nearby, once the administrator walked away.
"He is my roommate’s friend. They’ve only met once, so I wouldn’t say I actually know him." He Zhilan’s explanation wasn’t overly worked out, but it clarified her relationship with Ding Long, not even knowing him.
"I see. By the way, he talked as if you two were close. It seemed strange to me. How would you know Liao Qinghong’s boyfriend!"
"Who did you say??" He Zhilan was taken aback, "Are you saying that he’s Liao Qinghong’s boyfriend?"
He Zhilan was completely shocked. Liao Qinghong was the woman who quit her job because her boyfriend felt disgraced by her part-time job at the university. If it wasn’t for Liao Qinghong’s departure, He Zhilan wouldn’t even have gotten this job!
"You didn’t know? Many people in our university know about it! That Ding Long is a second-generation rich kid from the capital, with money and power and he’s handsome too."
"I really didn’t know." He Zhilan shook her head. No wonder Ding Long and her never got along. Turns out she already despised him without even realizing it!
Seeing He Zhilan’s reaction, her senior colleague realized that she truly had no idea, so she didn’t press further.
Now He Zhilan had an even worse opinion about Ding Long. He obviously had a girlfriend but was flippant with other women. She compared him to arsenic, deadly to any woman who got involved with him in the relationship world.
So, He Zhilan prayed quietly, hoping that Ding Long would not appear in her life again.
However, it was clear that her prayer was not answered.
When He Zhilan returned to her dorm from library, it was already ten o’clock. Fearing that the other girls were resting, she opened the door carefully.
"He Zhilan." As soon as the door opened, Gu En looked over in that direction. Everyone in the dorm was still wide awake, even Huang Cai and Wang Bingbing who usually went to sleep early, all surrounded Gu En with much vigour.
Everyone seemed excited, except for Jiang Biyun.
Unlike everyone else, Jiang Biyun was worried.
After He Zhilan entered, Gu En threw something at her and said, "This is a gift from Ding Long. He asked me to pass it to you, keep it!"
