The canteen was crowded since it was mealtime, and hence, Gu Chenyiâs and Lin Qingyaâs fall attracted everyoneâs attention at once.
âHow did the two of them fall off the bench so suddenly that they ended up in such a disheveled state?â
âIt wasnât an accident. The girl standing there kicked their bench!â
âWoah! Whatâs with the gossiping?! What happened?!â
âThe trio seems to be the rumored hot-topic freshies!â
âWhat hot-topic freshies?â
âHavenât you heard about what happened at the pharmaceutical faculty during the freshiesâ first day of college?â
âI heard that the one who tried snatching her best friendâs boyfriend is the top scholar of the year!â
âWow, this batch of freshmen is so fiery!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWho do you think is that top-scholar third party?â
âI think itâs the one whoâs standing!â
âWhy do I find her strangely cool despite her being the third party?â
âWell, sheâs indeed a little cool. Despite how those two have become a couple, they still just had to go linger around her and provoke her!â replied someone who had noticed Mu Huan was already seated there before the other two arrived.
âWhatâs wrong with your moral perspective?! How can you find a third party cool?!â
âItâs not our perspectiveâs 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 doesnât 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?â
âThat makes sense!!â
âOf course!â
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 sheâd 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: â...!!!â
What the f*ck!
Li Meng: â...!!!â
Jesus, whatâs todayâs occasion?!
Their nerves instantly became extremely taut!
âHe hasnât discovered us, has he?â asked Li Meng softly.
Mu Huan: âStay calm. It may not be so!â
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 ladâs 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 Chenyiâs irate bellow from behind. âStop right there, Mu Huan!â
The girlsâ hearts instantly stopped along with the halting of Long Feitingâs footsteps.
The next second, she was found dragging her friend in a mad escape.
Behind them came Gu Chenyiâs furious growl. âMu Huan!â
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 Chenyiâs outrage made everyone think that Mu Huanâs 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.
