Chapter 96 - 82 Brother Hao, did you see that!?
Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
The students below were somewhat restless, mainly because they couldnât figure out what routine the three students on stage were pulling.
Has university life not started dishing out such big gossip to them?
Isnât that guy on stage the boyfriend of that girl?
And then the girl who was dancing just suddenly kissed that guy?
A love triangle?
It didnât take long for everyone to speculate a plausible fact, that the guy on stage was probably the boyfriend of the dancing girl, and he had been singing with another guy behind his girlfriendâs back, but got caught by his girlfriend, who then publicly declared her sovereignty.
"Ah right, I remember now, it was this guy who brought burgers to the girls a few days ago!"
"Oh, now that you mention it, I also have an impression, itâs the two of them!"
At the time, the instructor had ordered Zheng Yanyan and the others to stand as punishment outside the dormitory building. Many girls saw it, and at that time, Zhou Yuwen stepped forward. Many girls thought Zhou Yuwen was a reliable boyfriend for not leaving his girlfriend to take the blame alone.
When Zheng Yanyan danced, everyone recognized this girl.
Now that Zhou Yuwen had come out, everything made sense.
I mean, if Zhou Yuwen is that girlâs boyfriend, then why was he singing with another girl?
"Maybe he was just helping out? And then the dancing girl, seeing her boyfriend go up, declared her sovereignty."
"No, I think itâs not that simple. It could be that the singing girl took a liking to the dancing girlâs boyfriend, and then the dancing girl went up to declare her sovereignty."
The crowd below had already begun to imagine a dramatic love story.
And honestly, Zhou Yuwen on stage was pretty confused.
Who could expect that under everyoneâs watch, Zheng Yanyan would be so bold? Zhou Yuwen hadnât even reacted, and Zheng Yanyan just kissed him.
The previous kiss was on the cheek.
This time it was directly on the lips.
Of course, it was a quick peck.
After the kiss, she playfully wrapped her arms around Zhou Yuwenâs arm, happily leaning on his side and waving to the people below.

That was pretty much drawing a line between Shen Yu and Zhou Yuwen, and then proclaiming to everyone, "I am this manâs girlfriend!"
In fact, such a position was already very clear, just as everyoneâs gossip suggested. Singing is singing, and itâs fine for you to ship cp on the side, but now that the song is over, and the guy is obviously standing together with his girlfriend, what can you still ship?
Shen Yuâs skin wasnât as thick as Zheng Yanyanâs.
She certainly couldnât just pull Zhou Yuwen over to her side on stage.
And Zheng Yanyan wouldnât allow it.
Would the two of them start a âtwo women for one manâ drama on stage?
Then in a fit of pique, give Zheng Yanyan a slap?
And Zheng Yanyan, not to be outdone, slaps back?
Shen Yu couldnât bring herself to do such a thing.
"Zhou Yuwen, you canât escape this time," Zheng Yanyan said, hugging Zhou Yuwenâs arm, her little head resting on his shoulder, managing her expression well, and generously greeting the audience below.
Zhou Yuwen said, "You really are bold."
"Hehe, whatâs there to be afraid of? After all, itâs not the first time weâve kissed. You could just reject me directly, but would you bear to? See how cute I am?" Zhou Yuwen said, puffing up her cheeks and batting her eyes at him.
Zhou Yuwen didnât speak. It was only a matter of minutes on stage. This incident was pegged as a boy and girl singing a duet, and then the boyâs girlfriend came up to give flowers and a kiss to her boyfriend.
There was nothing controversial about it.
Of course, some people were definitely feeling uncomfortable.
But one person was truly happy.
Li Qiang was feeling pretty dejected initially. After following Chang Hao back, all he heard was Chang Hao bragging, even claiming to be Zheng Yanyanâs boyfriend.
Li Qiang was utterly disgusted, thinking "You really have no shame."
Then Chang Hao had the audacity to talk about Lu Lin right in front of him.
Li Qiang couldnât stand it anymore, returning to his seat in silence.
His classmate Jiang Chao asked Li Qiang, "Whereâs Chang Hao?"
"Back there blowing his own trumpet!"
"Hey, isnât that Zhou Yuwenâs girlfriend?"
At the time, just after Zhou Yuwen finished singing with Shen Yu, who is indeed beautiful, many classmates thought Shen Yu was Zhou Yuwenâs girlfriend.
"Pretty much." Li Qiang thought that Zhou Yuwen would probably end up dating Shen Yu, after all, not only is she beautiful, but she also comes from a good family. It was just a pity for Lu Lin.
They chatted briefly before he noticed a tall girl in a pink sweatshirt and pleated skirt, holding a bouquet of flowers onstage.
The lights below the stage were dim, but you could still make out the glaringly white, long legs of Zheng Yanyan, accentuated by her mid-calf cotton socks. Jiang Chao recognized her at a glance.
"Hey, isnât that Chang Haoâs girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend my ass, she hasnât even said yes to him," Li Qiang retorted with a dismissive sneer.
Hearing this, Jiang Chao couldnât help but snicker, "Yeah, I think itâs unlikely too!"
The two were still chatting when Zheng Yanyan went onstage.
She then stood in front of Zhou Yuwen, blocking the audienceâs view of him, although Zhou Yuwen was taller than Zheng Yanyan, so his head could still be seen.
What followed was Zheng Yanyan standing on tiptoe.
Li Qiang was stunned at first, but then his neck started to turn red.
"What the hell? Isnât that the girl Chang Hao likes? Why is she kissing Zhou Yuwen?" Jiang Chao quickly asked Li Qiang.
When he turned around, he discovered that Li Qiang had already disappeared.
"Bro, you alright?"
Behind the sports field, a few boys noticed Chang Haoâs expression seemed off, so they tentatively asked.
Chang Hao squinted at the stage for a long time, their position being somewhat far, making it difficult to see clearly. He muttered to himself, "It must be,"
"The lighting, right?"
"The lighting," Chang Hao repeated to himself twice.
The logic just didnât make sense!
How could Yanyan possibly be kissing Zhou Yuwen?
She doesnât even like old Zhou.
Right, she doesnât like him.
"No, dude, is she really your girlfriend? Iâve heard lots of people saying sheâs that guyâs girlfriend on stage," someone asked.
"Impossible," Chang Hao shook his head; "Theyâre not."
While Chang Hao was trying to wrap his head around the situation, a loud shout erupted from the crowd ahead, "Brother Hao!"
And there was Li Qiang, running out.
At that moment, Li Qiangâs face was somewhat flushed, and he seemed extremely agitated and excited. He immediately looked for Chang Hao, "Brother Hao! Did you see it?! Did you see it?! Zheng Yanyan kissing old Zhou!"
"Your Zheng Yanyan! She actually kissed old Zhou in front of all the students!"
"Brother Hao! You gotta see this!"
In that moment, Li Qiang seemed to vent all the pent-up frustration of the past several days. He rushed to Chang Hao, tugging at his arm incessantly, "Brother Hao! Can you see it? There are too many people in front! Iâll lift you up so you can get a clear view! Brother Hao!
You gotta look!"
As he said this, Li Qiang actually began to try to lift Chang Hao, his smile undisguised!
Fucking hell!
Take that for looking down on me!
Take that for mocking me!
Fucking hell!
"Are you fucking insane?"
Chang Hao hadnât been angry, but Li Qiang was acting like a lunatic, trying to hoist him up. Chang Hao angrily pushed him away.
Chang Hao didnât hold back with that shove.
Especially since Li Qiang was in such an excited state, he wasnât holding back either.
With that push, Li Qiang actually fell over.
Gazing down at Li Qiang on the ground, Chang Haoâs face was full of disgust: "Country bumpkin! Bumpkin!"
After saying this, Chang Hao left the sports field on his own.
Sitting on the ground, Li Qiang watched Chang Haoâs retreating back and squinted his eyes, but he didnât say a word.
"Buddy, you okay?"
The onlookers around didnât understand what was going on with Chang Hao, but they helped Li Qiang up and dusted him off, all with good intentions.
Li Qiang dusted himself off while shaking his head and saying he was fine.
At that time, someone curiously asked, "Hey, whatâs the deal with your friend, though? Wasnât she supposed to be his girlfriend?"
"Believe his bullshit?" Li Qiang scoffed with disdain, "If she were really his girlfriend, how could she be kissing someone else?"
