The words are like a spring breeze over water; Wu Xu’s heart suddenly felt radiant, and he chuckled, “No worries, you came for breakfast, right? It’s on me, I felt quite guilty about yesterday.”
“There’s no need, I think you’d better enjoy breakfast with your beautiful ‘sister’.” He Jiali said sarcastically, giving Wu Xu a look that said she totally saw through him.
Wu Xu turned around to find Liu Yanyan approaching, and couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward. Great, now even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I couldn’t clear my name.
“Hehe, Assistant Wu, I didn’t see that coming! When did you get to know our Junshan University’s white lotus flower? Better not let the other students find out, or who knows how many men will hate you.” Liu Yanyan boldly put down her plate and then squinted at Guan Xiaoyun with a smile: “Yun, do you want to join us for breakfast?”
“No need, Assistant Wu, Director Liu, please take your time, we’re going to watch the baseball game between the university team and the city stadium, and I’m also a part of the cheerleading squad. See you there.” Guan Xiaoyun wasn’t as upset as imagined, still smiling naturally like a lotus flower. Google seaʀᴄh NoveI~Fire.net
He Jiali let out a cold laugh, grabbed Guan Xiaoyun and walked away without a second word.
Liu Yanyan sighed and looked at Wu Xu with a complex expression, “Assistant Wu, how did you get to know Guan Xiaoyun? It seems she trusts you quite a lot.”
Wu Xu was speechless. Your words don’t sound right! It’s as if Guan Xiaoyun is my girlfriend—suddenly, Wu Xu felt extremely uncomfortable and, turning his head, was stunned to discover that many of the male students in the cafeteria were staring at him, their gazes sharp as knives.
“Hehe, now you’ve angered the crowd,” Liu Yanyan giggled with a covered mouth.
Wu Xu helplessly sat down and said with a bitter smile, “I say, Director Liu, you’re not being fair. Guan Xiaoyun and I aren’t involved; we’re just neighbors. With what you said, I won’t dare to walk around Junshan University campus anymore, in case someone slaps me with a brick from behind.”
“Neighbors, eh! Seems you’re closer than I thought. There’s a saying that a faraway relative is no match for a close neighbor! You got the benefit of close proximity first.” Liu Yanyan also sat down, whispered with a tone that oddly made Wu Xu feel a hint of jealousy!!
Wu Xu rolled his eyes, too lazy to explain anymore. Arguing with a woman is like smearing yourself deeper into the mire.
“But hey, little brother, don’t be modest. You’re quite the catch yourself. You don’t know how charming your eyes are today, making one can’t help but want to keep looking, as if to be drawn into them. It’s magical; I never noticed them before. It’s a pity I’m old and married! Otherwise, I’d definitely chase after you.” Suddenly, Liu Yanyan whispered.
Wu Xu jumped, dumbfounded!
My eyes are enchanting? Really? I didn’t feel that. Could it be from that electric shock? Shit, this transformation is all-encompassing! Too powerful?
But Liu Yanyan’s gaze while talking was somewhat off, the kind of romantic and almost-devouring look that made Wu Xu’s heart race.
“Ah! I’m going to eat.” Unable to bear this powerful weapon, Wu Xu bowed his head and wolfed down his lean pork porridge, his mind a mess with numerous thoughts.
The morning air at Junshan University was exceptionally fresh, the autumn season was naturally cool, but the university stadium was bustling with people.
Here, a match is about to commence.
The competing sides were Junshan University’s famous baseball team and the city stadium’s team.
Junshan University has a hundred years of history and boasts various clubs and societies, but the baseball team was the most renowned, having groomed several national-level players, establishing itself as a baseball hub garnering much attention.
And such a match between the university and the city stadium was quite a spectacle. On one side was the renowned and competent city stadium baseball team, a semi-professional team with a lot of experience. On the other side was the professional team of the famous baseball hub; a fierce clash between the two was inevitable.
Moreover, the city stadium team was led by Coach Chen Gao, an old-timer. He took this rare opportunity to bring several retired players to watch and give pointers.
For such a grand event, Junshan University administration also highly praised it, opening up the sports stadium specially, allowing students and even outside basketball enthusiasts and media personnel to watch and cheer, boosting morale for their school’s baseball team and enhancing the university’s reputation.
By 8 a.m., the Junshan University campus was already bustling. Groups of students, both male and female, discussed the upcoming baseball match.
However, among them, many also chatted about Wu Xu and Liu Yanyan having breakfast together and the conversation between Wu Xu and Guan Xiaoyun.
Though the details were sparse and mainly gossip, where there’s smoke, there’s fire—a single whisper can generate waves of finger-pointing. The college students of today have strong logical reasoning.
Just a simple rumor, and Wu Xu, Liu Yanyan, and Guan Xiaoyun’s story turned into a complex love triangle involving a domineering assistant, a pure schoolgirl, and a married woman—with even He Jiali, the fierce queen, having an interjected subplot. Too bad Wu Xu didn’t hear this story, or else he’d spurt blood and yell, “Shit, this is so screwed up,” and keel over.
