The canteen was crowded since it was mealtime, and hence, Gu Chenyi’s and Lin Qingya’s fall attracted everyone’s attention at once.
“How did the two of them fall off the bench so suddenly that they ended up in such a disheveled state?”
“It wasn’t an accident. The girl standing there kicked their bench!”
“Woah! What’s with the gossiping?! What happened?!”
“The trio seems to be the rumored hot-topic freshies!”
“What hot-topic freshies?”
“Haven’t you heard about what happened at the pharmaceutical faculty during the freshies’ first day of college?”
“I heard that the one who tried snatching her best friend’s boyfriend is the top scholar of the year!”
“Wow, this batch of freshmen is so fiery!”
“Who do you think is that top-scholar third party?”
“I think it’s the one who’s standing!”
“Why do I find her strangely cool despite her being the third party?”
“Well, she’s indeed a little cool. Despite how those two have become a couple, they still just had to go linger around her and provoke her!” replied someone who had noticed Mu Huan was already seated there before the other two arrived.
“What’s wrong with your moral perspective?! How can you find a third party cool?!”
“It’s not our perspective’s problem but yours, you dimwit! Is she really the third party just because those two claim her to be so? According to those from the pharmaceutical faculty, that couple is always looking for that top scholar. From the first day of school, she has already made it clear that she doesn’t have anything to do with them, and she even told them to stay clear of her, but those two still go about provoking her. Say, which couple would constantly pester the third party when it should be the other way around?”
“That makes sense!!”
“Of course!”
Mu Huan, who wanted to keep a low profile at school, was once again cast in the spotlight!
The realization of this fact had her hastily bowing her head to put on the shades she’d pulled out from her pocket and pulling her friend away.
They had just reached the aisle when the atmosphere in the canteen got heated up out of the blue.
They could not resist looking up to see what was going on as they felt that their actions could not possibly have caused such a commotion.
The moment the two raised their head, they saw Long Feiting walking toward them.
Mu Huan: “…!!!”
What the f*ck!
Li Meng: “…!!!”
Jesus, what’s today’s occasion?!
Their nerves instantly became extremely taut!
“He hasn’t discovered us, has he?” asked Li Meng softly.
Mu Huan: “Stay calm. It may not be so!”
And so, they hung their heads low again and continued moving forward while feigning nonchalance.
There were two exits in the canteen, and one of them was located behind them. However, turning around and making a beeline for that exit would only attract the lad’s attention to them, so they had no choice but to continue to head in his direction.
Just as Mu Huan had walked past him…
She heard Gu Chenyi’s irate bellow from behind. “Stop right there, Mu Huan!”
The girls’ hearts instantly stopped along with the halting of Long Feiting’s footsteps.
The next second, she was found dragging her friend in a mad escape.
Behind them came Gu Chenyi’s furious growl. “Mu Huan!”
Seeing how the other guy was in such violent rage, Long Feiting turned around curiously and glanced toward Mu Huan from behind. Mu Huan? Just who is this person who has the guts to provoke Gu Chenyi?
Apart from how the Longs and the Gus had friendly relations with each other, the two young chaps were in the same class, so he knew the kind of influence the Gus had in Yun Cheng.
Gu Chenyi’s outrage made everyone think that Mu Huan’s escape was because of him. No one would have thought that she had run away because of the other guy.
Not even Long Feiting could have expected that the person whom he had been searching for across the city had just passed by him.
