23 Chapter 22 – Yan Du Xian Salted Pork Soup 7 (1/2)
When the two them arrived on her campus, many people and cars were coming and going in front of the graduate student dormitory.
Everyone was returning back to school today, and many old, familiar faces, flush with a rosy glow from eating, drinking, and being merry over the winter holidays, brushed past them.
After greeting a few people along the way, Gu Sheng sensed that she could not let this continue. Nearly everyone who said hello to her would give her a look afterwards that seemed to say, ”Sheng Sheng Man, you are one lucky girl” … Toupai was walking leisurely beside her and admiring her campus, as if he did not mind in the least all those gazes that were both openly and secretly eyeing him over.
If… those fans of his in the 2-D world found out that … their very own Toupai DaRen was being ogled by so many girls, they would definitely band together and all take headshots at her, k? T T
She stopped.
Mo Qingcheng also stopped.
”Here is good enough. Thank you… um, you.”
DaRen, please don't ask to go up and look around my dorm…
Today was the only day that the dormitory building was freely open for anyone to come and go. Please, please don't ask, or else I don't know how I'll be able to refuse you, aaah …
”Alright.” He finally handed her backpack back to her. ”See you next time.”
”Mm. Bye.”
At last carrying her own bag again, she turned around.
Step by step by step by step, she walked forward. Didn't dare to look back. So wanted to look back. Didn't dare to look back. So wanted to look back… The backpack she was hugging in front of her was honestly so darn heavy. If she had known ahead of time that Toupai would be carrying it the whole way, she would not have brought so many snacks. You glutton, Sheng Sheng Man. Look! You've exhausted Toupai. T T
Finally, she made it into her dormitory building, past the glass doors, where she took a couple steps to the left and then furtively turned back around. From a corner where Mo Qingcheng could not see her, she looked back out to see if he had left yet.
It seemed Mo Qingcheng had watched her enter the building, and now, he cast a glance at his watch.
”Gu Sheng!” From outside the dormitory building, Geng Xiaoxing's voice suddenly rang out. ”Who are you looking at, hiding beside the door like that? A handsome guy?!”
...
...
Let me die… Oh Heaven and Earth, hurry and send a lightning bolt down to strike me, please…
Frozen in place, Gu Sheng watched as Geng Xiaoxing bounced and skipped her way up to her. In her peripheral vision, she could see Mo Qingcheng very clearly lower his arm. With an amused expression, he cast a glance over in the direction of where she was concealed before turning around and leaving.
...
...
He must have heard. For sure he heard. T T
”Why are standing here so stupidly? You were fine on the phone yesterday.” Geng Xiaoxing beamed at her as she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her face. ”Tell me now! What happened in your meet-up with Unrivalled Allure Toupai DaRen, huh?”
Gu Sheng threw a wordless glance at her.
”Jue Mei just sent me a message in WeChat. Daren personally escorted you back to the school? Whoa, you guys are progressing really quickly …” Geng Xiaoxing's tone was filled with all sorts of envy. ”Is Toupai really that handsome?”
Gu Sheng continued staring at her in silence.
After suffering through several hours of shock and incitement, she did not have the energy to deal with anything Geng Xiaoxing had to say. All she could think about was that Geng Xiaoxing's loud mouth had utterly destroyed the image she had tried so hard to maintain through the afternoon and evening.
Peeping out secretly at him. So humiliating.
Of the four people in her dormitory room, only the two of them were directly being admitted into postgraduate studies. The remaining two roommates had already headed off to internship positions.
They likely were not going to return until tomorrow to go through the motions of reporting back into school and then head right back to their jobs.
As a result, tonight it was just the two of them again.
Geng Xiaoxing tried several different ways of trying to probe out some information but to no avail, so eventually, she turned the focus of the conversation directly to Jue Mei. Gu Sheng finally relented and, sitting on her bed reading through her YY messages, she said, ”Very tall. Um… Really domineering air. Super domineering… Anyways, as long as he's not joking around, he has a huge amount of presence.”
And when he is joking around T T, he is like a triad boss… A cultured type of triad boss.
”Ooh …” Geng Xiaoxing climbed onto the ladder of her bed, but then stayed there, almost half-sprawling herself on the rungs while she held onto the head of the bed for support. ”Tell me more.”
Gu Sheng very dutifully contemplated for a moment before saying, ”How about next time you just come along with me? … You guys have been having your underground relationship for so long anyways.”
”We don't have an underground relationship!” Geng Xiaoxing made a grab for Gu Sheng's foot in protest.
As she rolled out of the way, Gu Sheng chortled, ”It is so an underground relationship!”
Geng Xiaoxing crawled up threw herself completely onto Gu Sheng's bed.
”Don't, don't!” Gu Sheng pointed at her computer. ”I'm holding my computer. Don't break it.”
Geng Xiaoxing carefully avoided her computer. Suddenly, she clued in to something. ”When is the next time you're going to meet again?”
”Huh?”
