After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

Lin Xuechun stared at the smiling face for a few seconds.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be about yin and yang.

She casually glanced up to see if Xi Chenzhou was nearby, but their eyes met across several tables.

His thin lips were pressed together coldly, and there was a hint of fierceness in the corners of his eyes, which were slightly red.

It sounded like she was angry, but also a little aggrieved.

However, her feeling wronged must be her illusion.

How could he possibly be wronged?

Her eyelashes fluttered, and she quickly lowered her head.

Xi Chenzhou's gaze was so intense that even Gong Shaoyang noticed it.

Gong Shaoyang looked over and gave him a provocative smile. Xi Chenzhou gritted his teeth, the veins on the side of his neck bulged, and his sharp eyes instantly pressed down on the other side.

It was as if an invisible bolt of lightning had struck the air.

It exploded with a crackling sound.

Lin Xuechun was unaware of the undercurrents between the two men.

She was still holding her phone, the screen showing her chat with Xi Chenzhou.

He glanced at Gong Shaoyang beside him out of the corner of his eye, feeling inexplicably irritated, and typed rapidly with his fingers.

Xi Chenzhou felt his phone vibrate. He looked down and saw the message she had sent him—

Olaf: [It doesn't taste good.]

So eating with Gong Shaoyang wasn't enjoyable?

Was it Gong Shaoyang who was relentlessly pursuing her?

Didn't she make plans to have dinner with him?

After quickly deciphering several meanings in his mind, Xi Chenzhou's tense lips suddenly relaxed, and he began typing.

xcz: [Is the beef noodle soup delicious?]

Lin Xuechun didn't know why he suddenly brought up beef noodles.

My thinking is very jumpy.

But it probably refers to the beef noodle shop we ate at together on the weekend, right?

She replied honestly: 【It's delicious.】

The coldness in Xi Chenzhou's eyes faded considerably: [Want to eat out tonight?]

Lin Xuechun was initially prepared to refuse; she hadn't gotten over what happened last night and didn't know how to face him. However, she then remembered that she owed him several meals, making it difficult to refuse. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally agreed: "Okay."

xcz: [I'll arrive early to reserve a seat for my elective class this afternoon.]

This was the only course they took that they had in common.

Last time, she didn't sit with him when he asked her to save a seat, so this time he went to save one himself.

Olaf: [Okay, thanks.]

Lin Xuechun figured that since they were going to have dinner together anyway, the afternoon class wouldn't make a difference.

It's just so awkward.

She wasn't ready to face him yet and hoped he wouldn't ask about last night.

After replying to the message, Lin Xuechun put away her phone and continued eating the rest of her breakfast.

Gong Shaoyang's provocative gaze flew towards Xi Chenzhou again.

Xi Chenzhou curled his lips in a mocking smile, scoffed silently, and didn't even bother to acknowledge him.

He turned around and picked up his phone again, looking back at his conversation with Lin Xuechun.

Shen Yu had a fried dough stick in his mouth. He took a bite and looked up as he chewed. He saw the corners of the person opposite him turn up slightly, and the low pressure around him seemed to dissipate a lot.

He even doubted that he had seen it wrong, so he raised his hand to rub his eyes, confirming that he hadn't seen it wrong and that the curve was still there.

Hey, just a moment ago the sky was overcast and a storm was brewing, and you had a cold face like someone owed you money, but now the storm has passed and the sun is shining again?

Shen Yu quietly straightened up and glanced at Xi Chenzhou's phone. Seeing a chat window, he couldn't help but tease, "Which girl are you chatting with?"

Xi Chenzhou looked up and casually raised an eyebrow: "Your goddess."

"I knew it," Shen Yu shook his head and sighed, "no wonder you were laughing so enthusiastically just now."

"Stop eating those moldy duck legs, they're making you hallucinate." Xi Chenzhou glanced at him, put away his phone, and stood up. "Let's go, class is starting."

"Let's go!" Shen Yu put the remaining half of the fried dough stick in his mouth, picked up his backpack, and followed. As they walked out of the cafeteria, he remembered, "By the way, Zhou-ge, the professor asked what time you're going to the lab this afternoon? The AIC national finals are next week, and that model needs to be run one more time."

Xi Chenzhou: "I have class this afternoon, I'll go tomorrow."

"Huh? What class?"

"Elective courses".

"That so-called 'intercultural communication' course that was just there to fill a quota?"

"Um."

"You never skip this kind of class?"

"Yes, I promised to save a spot for someone else."

"Huh? You always arrive at the classroom just in time for your major courses, and you even save seats for others in your elective courses?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No, no, no, how could I dare?"

He found it strange that Zhou Ge would postpone his lab time just to attend a casual class, since the AIC finals were far more important than a casual class.

……

Elective classes in the afternoon.

Zhou Xinran and Xu Yang skipped class; I wonder where they went to have some fun.

Lin Xuechun arrived at the classroom ten minutes early, only to unexpectedly run into Gong Shaoyang at the door.

"I substituted for Xu Yang because he was afraid the teacher would call roll."

Lin Xuechun gave a dismissive "oh," feeling a little annoyed.

She doesn't know about others, but she has a quirk: if someone she doesn't like pursues her, she'll suddenly become extremely annoyed with them.

That's how she feels about Gong Shaoyang now.

Gong Shaoyang, unaware of the situation, asked, "Where are you sitting?"

"Someone saved me a seat." Lin Xuechun replied while searching for Xi Chenzhou, and found him in the last row.

Xi Chenzhou also saw her and raised his hand in greeting.

Lin Xuechun walked over and sat down next to him. Unexpectedly, Gong Shaoyang followed and sat down right next to her.

Lin Xuechun is to the left of Xi Chenzhou and to the right of Gong Shaoyang.

She was caught in the middle, feeling utterly hopeless.

Xi Chenzhou glanced coldly at Gong Shaoyang and pushed the Mixue Ice Cream lemonade on the table toward Lin Xuechun: "I brought it for you."

Lin Xuechun mentioned that she liked to drink this over the weekend, so he went out for lunch and bought some when he saw it.

"Thank you." Lin Xuechun had been thinking of ordering it at noon, but hadn't had a chance to, so she just put on a straw and took a sip.

When Gong Shaoyang saw her drinking this, he curled his lip in disdain. Wasn't Xi Chenzhou supposed to be very rich? Why does he buy Mixue Ice Cream for girls?

He's probably just pretending to be rich.

He glanced past Lin Xuechun out of the corner of his eye, scrutinizing Xi Chenzhou's attire. When he saw the luxury brand watch on Xi Chenzhou's wrist, worth 300,000 yuan, he felt a pang of unease. He tilted his head, looked at Xi Chenzhou, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hey classmate, nice watch, pretty convincing replica."

Lin Xuechun was taken aback and subconsciously turned to look at Xi Chenzhou.

Two very popular boys were sitting in the last row. The girls in the front row had been eavesdropping for a while, and now they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Xi Chenzhou's watch.

Xi Chenzhou leaned back casually in his seat. Hearing Gong Shaoyang's words, he slowly raised his eyelids to look at him, his gaze lingering on Gong Shaoyang's trendy hoodie for a second before he raised an eyebrow: "Your hoodie is too."

Lin Xuechun, still sucking on her straw, looked at Gong Shaoyang's hoodie again.

Several girls in the front row also turned their heads.

Gong Shaoyang's expression changed, and he retorted to Xi Chenzhou, "What do you mean? I bought it through a proxy!"

Xi Chenzhou's lips curled slightly, revealing a casual and knowing expression: "I didn't say you were wearing counterfeit goods, what's the rush?"

"Who's in a hurry! It's just a hoodie that costs a few thousand dollars. Who can't afford the real thing? But a watch that costs hundreds of thousands is a different story."

"Really?" Xi Chenzhou pointed to the back of his hoodie at the neck. "Why is there a missing 'o' on the logo on the back of your hat? Do resellers only ship defective products like this?"

Gong Shaoyang subconsciously reached for the hood of his sweatshirt at the back of his neck, but stopped abruptly halfway through. His face flushed red, he gritted his teeth, stood up, and glared at Xi Chenzhou: "If you're fucking seeing things, go get them treated!"

After yelling at him, he grabbed his phone from the table and strode away quickly, disappearing from the classroom doorway in an instant.

The girls in the front row finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Oh my god, how embarrassing! There's no logo on the back of his hat. He must be feeling guilty for running so fast."

"I've always thought his clothes were weird. Every time my brother posts an OOTD, I see Gong Shaoyang wearing the same thing the next day. I used to think he was really rich, buying thousands or tens of thousands of dollars worth of trendy brands that are the same as those worn by celebrities every day. But then I found out that some limited editions were sold out all over the internet, and he was still able to buy them. There's no other possibility but that they're fakes."

"He loves wearing counterfeit goods to show off, and he even buys fake sneakers. His ex-girlfriend said that he has a lot of WeChat sellers who sell counterfeit goods in his contacts."

"Wearing counterfeit goods is one thing, but he's also a scumbag. You guys don't know him..."

Lin Xuechun sipped her lemonade while listening intently to the gossip of the girls in the row in front of her.

The way she listened to the gossip was like a curious little rabbit peeking out of its burrow with its two rabbit ears. After listening to the gossip, she remembered Xi Chenzhou next to her. His hand was on the table, his hoodie sleeves were casually rolled up a little, and a black watch face was on his wrist, reflecting a cold light.

"Is this watch really worth 300,000?" Lin Xuechun asked curiously as she leaned closer to take a look.

"It's fake, you can play with it." Xi Chenzhou took off his watch and casually tossed it to her.

"Is it really true?" Lin Xuechun asked, still somewhat doubtful.
