Chapter 277 - A Declaration of Feelings (1/2)

“What the — ! Look who it is!”

“What’s happening? Are they together?”

“It must be true love! I believe in love now!”

“They’ve been on campus before, but they’ve never held hands!”

“Must be! If they’d held hands before, everyone would have known.”

“Is this an official announcement?”

“Wow, I thought the Iron Hero and Su Qingcen were together. But he’s now dating the artist? He’s a winner in everything!”

“Maybe this is his response to all the rumors.”

“I think so, too. Su Qingcen is a star, she has to tell the public. The Iron Hero is not a celebrity, he just needs to tell Wu Tong.”

“See, I told you. Wu Tong is just as good as Su Qingcen in looks, figure, and talent!”

“After that last rumor, people were saying that the Iron Hero is a frog who wanted to eat swan meat. Hah! They didn’t know he really wanted to eat Wu Tong’s meat!”

“…”

The impact of Meng Fan and Wu Tong walking together on campus was quite powerful. In less than ten minutes, at least 90% of the people in the school, from teachers to students, all found out.

The two of them were well-known in the art academy and popular, too. They weren’t considered a good match at first, until everyone thought they were the perfect match. Regardless of fame, popularity, or curiosity, everyone wanted to see if they would end up together.

As people were speculating about them, they were suddenly seen holding hands, so the news was explosive.

Not to mention, as rumor had it, Meng Fan and Su Qingcen were supposed to be together!

Photos of Meng Fan and Wu Tong holding hands on campus were all over social media. Everyone, intentionally or unintentionally, saw it.

Wang Yanan, who had just come back from Da Mei Studio, also saw the photos. When she looked up, she noticed the unnatural expression on Jiao Yanran’s face. She could only sigh.

So she missed the opportunity.

Wang Yanan totally supported Jiao Yanran in pursuing Meng Fan, but ever since Jiao Yanran found out Meng Fan liked Wu Tong, nothing happened.

Wang Yanan always thought Jiao Yanran and Meng Fan would be a good match, especially in height. But Wang Yanan had to admit that Jiao Yanran didn’t have as much courage as Meng Fan.

Meng Fan may have been less perfect than Wu Tong back then, but he still dared to pursue her, while Jiao Yanran didn’t dare to go after Meng Fan.

When Jiao Yanran had a crush on Meng Fan, if she had tried pursuing him, everything could have been different.

Oh, well. Perhaps.

Qu Jingjing — the leader of the legion of female fans and also the leader of the Iron Hero Guard Corps, which was created without Meng Fan’s knowledge — saw the photos, too. So did the other three members of the legion in her dorm room.

“Hugs, Jingjing.”

“Don’t cry, Jingjing.”

“Jingjing, any regrets? If you started earlier, you could have had a chance. Now, the chance is slimmer.”

Qu Jingjing liked the update on social media then smiled, shaking her head. “I don’t regret it. I told you, the rumor about Iron Hero and Su Qingcen was fake. Iron Hero is not one of those players. See, that was a fake rumor. I don’t regret liking Iron Hero, I’ll keep liking him!”

There’s no regret, but there’s resignation.

Qu Jingjing regretted that she didn’t know Meng Fan before Wu Tong. If she did… okay, her heart started to flutter at the thought.

She was Meng Fan’s number one female fan. She knew what he was like before he met Wu Tong. To be honest, she didn’t know if she would have liked him back then.

Qu Jingjing has liked Wu Tong ever since she saw her. It wasn’t because she wanted to get closer to Meng Fan, she was just dazzled by Wu Tong. Later on, Qu Jingjing was impressed by Wu Tong’s taste.

She even thought that if Meng Fan didn’t meet Wu Tong and decided to pursue her, he wouldn’t have improved so much, and she wouldn’t have liked him so much!

Life was really magical!

Qu Jingjing made a fist with her hand, cheering on herself. If Meng Fan could improve himself for someone he liked, so could she. Even if she could never be beside Meng Fan, she wanted to make herself better, so she could have better choices!

The person who gained the best understanding of the word “choice” was probably the woman making coffee for Hu Tingsong. It was the same long-legged woman that Meng Fan and Wu Tong ran into one night, who called Hu Tingsong “honey.”

She felt lucky that she picked the perfect moment to pursue Hu Tingsong, and managed to land him.

She also saw the news of Meng Fan and Wu Tong holding hands. She was actually grateful for the two of them.

If Hu Tingsong wasn’t so in love with Wu Tong for years, he would have been together with other girls.

If Meng Fan didn’t appear, then Hu Tingsong would never have given up on Wu Tong. She would also have been turned down like other girls who chased after Hu Tingsong.
