That evening, Xu Weiran received a strange text message, which shockingly contained a photo.
The photo showed Sheng Ning’an having dinner with another boy.
The sender also reminded him to keep an eye on his girlfriend in the message.
The photo was taken by Xiao Yue during a meal, capturing Sheng Ning’an and Zhou Xian. He had intended to send it to the dormitory group but accidentally sent it to Shi Yue instead.
Seeing the photo made Shi Yue mad with jealousy right away.
She chased after Xiao Yue, demanding to know the relationship between the two.
Especially after learning that it was Sheng Ning’an who had taken the initiative to invite Zhou Xian for dinner, she was convinced that Sheng was trying to seduce Zhou Xian.
Although Xiao Yue mentioned that he was also there, she wouldn’t listen to a word.
Xu Weiran opened the message and glanced at it, recognizing the dining location as Jing University’s cafeteria, but the boy across from Sheng Ning’an was unknown to him.
Xu Weiran didn’t know many of her friends. After all, they were eight years apart and belonged to completely different circles. Besides her roommate, Xu Weiran had only met Tang Dou.
But it was clear that the sender wanted to hint that their relationship wasn’t merely platonic.
Judging from the photo, the two appeared to be about the same age, and the boy had a decent appearance, likely a student of Jing University.
After viewing the photo, Xu Weiran frowned slightly, his finger hovering over the message, ready to delete it, but then he seemed to reconsider, retracting his finger and memorizing the number instead.
He then opened WeChat and sent a message to Sheng Ning’an: "How have things been at school recently? Any troubles?"
The sudden message baffled Sheng Ning’an.
She was certain he didn’t send this message without reason.
However, besides attending classes, she either went home or stayed in the dorm. Her social circle was simple, and there wasn’t much to upset her.
"Nothing much, just wondering if you recognize this number?" Xu Weiran sent her the earlier number.
Sheng Ning’an glanced at it—completely unfamiliar.
Shi Yue wasn’t foolish. Naturally, she wouldn’t use her regular number to message Xu Weiran; she had used a temporary number that came with her phone upon purchase at the beginning of school.
At the time, she had forgotten her ID and used her mother’s name instead.
The account included free talk time and data, which she could cancel once exhausted.
After starting school, she had gotten a more affordable campus card, so the other became a spare. She rarely used it, only remembering it on impulse to send Xu Weiran a message this time.
Even if someone decided to look into it, she wasn’t worried.
Of course, Sheng Ning’an wasn’t foolish either.
Xu Weiran wouldn’t send her this message without a reason. The fact that he specifically mentioned the number indicated that the owner might be connected to her somehow.
Then, linking it to his question about if anything unpleasant had happened at school?
So, had the owner of the number spoken to him, or sent him something?
In any case, she figured it out!
"Don’t recognize it. Did something happen?" Sheng Ning’an asked.
Since she didn’t know the person, it was likely a male admirer. However, since the sender managed to contact her, he must be well aware of her relationship with Sheng Ning’an.
"Nothing much, just focus on your studies and remember to call me if anything comes up."
That message was clearly aimed at that girl.
Whether someone wanted to stir up trouble in their relationship or had other intentions, Xu Weiran wasn’t planning to reveal anything to the girl before clearing things up.
