Chapter 432 - The First Song of Qin (5) (1/2)

Not long after this, Shi Sheng received an unexpected call. The contents of the call caused her even more surprise.

Her major had actually been changed… Changed…

Yes, her major was changed! To Computer Science!

‘What in the actual hell, I was completely unaware about this. Do you guys not need my consent to switch my major?! Don’t you need to test me or something?! And besides, I’m already in Year 2!!!’

There was no need to guess who the culprit was.

Qiao-fu had his own business but Qiao-mu was employed by the Ministry of Education. She had a lot of contacts in the education sector, so it was a piece of cake for her to change Shi Sheng’s major.

‘But why does she want me to major in computer science??? Did she plan on me being the girl to outshine all the guys???’

Computer science was her strong suit—why the hell would she want to attend classes? Shi Sheng was adamant about not going.

Because of this, Qiao-mu called her everyday and bombarded her with countless messages.

In the end, Qiao-mu even threatened her to never come back if she still refused to attend classes.

‘So what if I don’t go back? As if I wanted to!’

……

“I saw Professor Qin today. He was really handsome!”

“Aren’t there rumours going around saying he’s a perfectionist? I heard you have to hand over your phones during his lessons…”

“But he’s still very handsome! Besides, I’m not attending his classes. Sure enough, distance begets beauty…”

Shi Sheng sat behind the girls and listened to them gossip as she ate.

“Ah right, do you guys know who Tang Jinchen is courting?” One of the girls suddenly changed the topic.

“Who? Who? Do I know her?”

The first girl lowered her voice. “It’s that Qiao Qian’qian from Finance.”

“Her? Isn’t she a postgraduate already?” One of the girls who recognised the name piped up.

“Then doesn’t that mean she’s older than Tang Jinchen?”

“Yeah… Does Tang Jinchen like the mature type?”

Clang!

A girl behind them accidentally overturned a tray when getting up.

The gossiping girls were startled by the noise and turned to look at the source.

The girl who knocked the tray over had bent over to pick it up.

“…She seems to be Qiao Qian’qian.”

“It’s her.”

“Eh, she looks quite pretty.”

“So what if she’s pretty? She’s so much older than Tang Jinchen…”

“An old cow eating tender grass[1]…”

Qiao Qian’qian lowered her head. The fingers holding onto her tray tightened till they turned white.

The surrounding discussions caused Qiao Qian’qian’s face to burn. Ever since people at school knew that Tang Jinchen was courting her, they simply wouldn’t shut up about her age, as if she’d committed some great sin.

Right as Qiao Qian’qian was feeling at a loss, someone suddenly appeared from behind her, pulled her into their arms, and then started making their way out of the cafeteria.

The gazes of the onlookers turned odd.

Qiao Qian’qian didn’t need to look to know who it was. She shoved Tang Jinchen away.

“Junior Tang, men and women should keep their distance.” Qiao Qian’qian retreated a few steps, keeping her distance from Tang Jinchen.

These past few days, Tang Jinchen had started to grow a little irritated due to Qiao Qian’qian’s attitude. He didn’t know why, but he was taken over by a moment of impulse—he stepped forward, grabbed Qiao Qian’qian, and kissed her.

“Wah!”

A loud exclamation burst forth from the crowd.

Pa!

The whole cafeteria fell silent.

Tang Jinchen held his face, disbelief written in his eyes.

Qiao Qian’qian retreated, face pale. In the end, she turned and fled.
