Ling Sheng was brushing her teeth in the washroom and muttering incoherently. She felt bold. “It’s alright, let him wait.”
He would not die!
Xu Xi, who was following them, had a car and an umbrella.
A few minutes later, the auntie came over again. Ling Sheng had just finished applying her facial mask and was about to spend some time on her phone!
The dormitory manager said, “Student, your boyfriend is still at the door. It’s raining heavily outside, and it’s quite cold. You should go take a look!”
Ling Sheng knew that he was doing it on purpose, but she could not have the auntie look for her again later. The auntie was innocent. She took an umbrella and walked out. When she reached him, she stuffed it into his arms and turned to leave without saying anything.
Jun Shiyan turned around and grabbed the young lady’s wrist. In a low, warm voice, he said, “Goodnight.”
As though she had been electrocuted, Ling Sheng flung his hand away quickly. Her heart raced, and her footsteps became flustered. Had he waited so long just to say goodnight?
On the Imperial Capital University’s forum, there was already an intense discussion about Professor Gu romantically begging for forgiveness under the girls’ dormitory. He had a girlfriend who was a student at their school.
Huang Chang, who was still eating snacks and chewing on beef jerky, said indignantly, “How can that be? How can Professor Gu have a girlfriend? This bunch of boring scumbags! If they have the energy to be evil, they might as well read a few more books.”
Tian Xixi, who was in the same dormitory as them, was a girl from Class 2 of the Math Department. Upon seeing the gossip, she got excited. “It’s said that the girl is living in our dorm. The venue is said to be on the ground floor of our dorm. That’s why I’m guessing she’s a girl from our dorm.”
“That’s impossible!” Huang Chang said with certainty as she looked at Ling Sheng, who was lying on the bed and scrolling through Weibo. It was as though this had nothing to do with her. She asked, “Sister Sheng Sheng, don’t you think so? Professor Gu can’t have a girlfriend.”
Ling Sheng said, “I don’t know. What does it have to do with me whether he has a girlfriend or not?”
Huang Chang thought, This has nothing to do with you? The person Professor Gu likes is you, alright?
“Huang Chang, don’t you think it’s strange? Why can’t we find Professor Gu’s photo anywhere? I don’t believe there’s not even one person who took his photo secretly.” Tian Xixi was very curious.
Professor Gu had been teaching for a week, but there was not a single photo of him on the forum, group chat, or WeChat Moments. At most, he was a refined and handsome figure that made one scream in idolization.
Many people on the forum swore that they had seen Professor Gu and confirmed that it was him. Some people had even written a small essay describing how handsome, elegant, gentlemanly, and magnetic he was.
However, there was not a single photo to prove it!
“A professor of Professor Gu’s level is not someone whose photos we can pass around casually. This might be a secret protected by the country or the school.” Huang Chang had not taken any photos secretly. She did not know if the people who had taken the photos had been asked to meet and discuss this, but they had all chosen to keep it a secret.
“Ahhh, there’s also his girlfriend. Someone described her here.” Tian Xixi read out loud. “She’s about 1.65 meters tall, she’s petite and elegant, her voice is gentle and sweet, and she’s wearing a ponytail and a mask.”
“What about her clothes?” Huang Chang could not help but look at Ling Sheng. Was she wearing a mask? The only person she could think of was Sister Sheng Sheng.
“There was no mention of her clothes. It was a little dark, even though she was under the light. Someone said it looked like she was wearing a red coat.” Tian Xixi sighed. “To think that they couldn’t tell!”
Huang Chang nodded and looked at Ling Sheng. “Sister Sheng Sheng, you were wearing a red coat today.”
Ling Sheng lied casually. “It wasn’t me!”
Huang Chang thought, As if I’d believe you!
