Her brows furrowed slightly, and her bright red lips seemed to want to say something but held back.
The atmosphere in the classroom froze instantly. Just as everyone was at a loss, she coughed lightly and continued the class meeting.
This time, she demonstrated remarkable control, firmly keeping the pace of the second half of the class meeting in her own hands. Even Jiang Tang had to look up several times to listen to her words.
She spared no effort as if she wanted to draw everyone's attention to Jiang Tang's words just now.
It wasn't until the class meeting ended, and Jiang Tang and Shi Xue walked past her, that they heard her barely audible voice.
"Jiang Tang, can you stay here for a moment?"
202 Queen and King
For a moment, only Mu Qimei and Jiang Tang remained in the classroom.
Even Shi Xue was asked to stay outside the classroom temporarily.
She clenched her fist nervously, peering through the window at the classroom, where she could see the host talking to Teacher Mu Qimei.
But what exactly was said is unknown because the classroom was very soundproof.
It was Mu Qimei who started speaking, and then the master seemed a little confused.
The exchange between the two was brief, but Mu Qimei's expression conveyed an undeniable sense of authority.
Soon, Jiang Tang came out, and Shi Xue asked him what had happened.
He simply frowned and shook his head.
"I don't quite understand either."
But Mu Qimei only repeated one sentence.
"Jiang Tang, remember this: never say again that she will be your wife in the future."
Mu Qimei's tone was particularly serious at the time, revealing an indescribable coldness, as well as a faint worry and concern for Jiang Tang.
But the chill didn't come from her; rather, it felt like some enormous shadow loomed over her, oppressing her.
Even she couldn't help but tremble and feel fear.
………………
When Jiang Tang and Shi Xue arrived at the school's auditorium where the freshman orientation ceremony was being held, the ceremony had not yet started, but the lively atmosphere had already infected many people, including excited freshmen and upperclassmen responsible for maintaining order.
Jiang Tang scanned the auditorium, trying to find the location of his class.
But then they saw Liu Qingqing, dressed in a white gown, standing next to the sign for the School of Foreign Languages.
She was indeed exactly as Liu Chuyun had described; she was a student at the School of Foreign Languages and also my... senior.
Unlike the Liu Qingqing I saw at Liu Chuyun's house, the Liu Qingqing at this moment seemed to exude a noble and aloof aura from the inside out, and any gaze upon her was a desecration to her.
Jiang Tang's gaze lingered for a while after seeing her, as she reminded him of his aunt Liu Chuyun, who was even more perfect as a "woman".
But to say that he was attracted to Liu Qingqing was absolutely not true.
The result of this attention was that Liu Qingqing sensed it, and the girl frowned slightly and turned around, thinking to herself, "Who is so rude? One glance is fine, but staring at me for so long is not."
When Liu Qingqing saw that it was Jiang Tang, she was stunned.
A fleeting look of near embarrassment and shame crossed her face, instantly shattering her noble and aloof aura. Her breathing quickened, and her chest heaved.
Out of politeness, and more so because of Liu Chuyun, Jiang Tang couldn't afford to have too much of a falling out with Liu Qingqing, otherwise how could they be considered "family" in the future? So he waved to Liu Qingqing, then turned his gaze elsewhere without hesitation, as if he had finally found his class's location, and walked over with Shi Xue in his hand.
Shi Xue noticed Liu Qingqing. She widened her eyes slightly and her first thought was, "Sister Chu Yun, why have your breasts gotten so small?"
But then she realized that Liu Chuyun could not possibly be in such a place, and even more so, standing at the very front of a certain academy.
So the girl who looks so much like Sister Liu must be her relative, like a younger sister or niece, not her daughter.
She guessed in her heart, and the truth was pretty much what she thought.
Liu Qingqing's gaze followed Jiang Tang and Shi Xue's figures, slightly lost in thought, until she was reminded by the cough of her sister next to her, and hurriedly pulled her attention back.
However, many people have probably already noticed that the most beautiful girl in the School of Foreign Languages stared at Jiang Tang, completely mesmerized.
It should be noted that Liu Qingqing was the representative and face of the School of Foreign Languages selected at the entrance ceremony, and her every move affected the image of the School of Foreign Languages in the eyes of teachers and students from other departments.
For a time, whispers of disappointment and dissatisfaction could be heard throughout the Foreign Languages Department's group.
Liu Qingqing knew that her behavior had a negative impact, and she lowered her head with a sense of self-reproach and guilt.
Only her best friend beside her was whispering comforting words, appearing completely optimistic.
"It's okay, Qingqing. It's only natural to look at handsome guys. Besides, he's both a top student and the school heartthrob. Anyone would be attracted to him, develop a vague fondness for him, or even fall in love with him."
"I could never fall in love with him...!" Liu Qingqing reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and whose fur had stood on end.
She bit her lip, speaking with a mixture of shame, indignation, and determination.
………………
The auditorium was very large, and no one would have noticed Shixue sneaking in.
And there probably won't be any busybodies reporting it, since everyone's in college and has matured to some extent.
Jiang Tang finally found his class, and together with Shi Xue, they simply slipped to the back of the line, found two seats, and sat down.
He checked the time; there were still ten minutes until the entrance ceremony, and only a dozen minutes until he was to give his speech.
He didn't bring a speech, because he didn't need one. First, he could have given the speech without notes, and second, he had memorized every word of the speech.
Jiang Tang has always had an excellent memory, like a vast library containing a huge number of books. Whenever he wants to search for a certain memory, his mind will intelligently extract it and lay it out in Jiang Tang's mind for him to read and use.
It is said that this is a memory maze in the human body, which is generally something one is born with, but if one trains diligently and accumulates experience over many years, some people can achieve this level of photographic memory.
The School of Biological Sciences is divided into many different majors, with the Department of Genetic Engineering being the most famous and prestigious. Some even say that "after the information age, now is the age of genes."
Biological sciences, especially human sciences, have long been considered off-limits to scientific research and have been explicitly prohibited by many countries.
However, with the development of science and technology, more and more countries are willing to conduct and open up some controllable and harmless biological science fields in the hope of making more important research results to change lives and even change the world.
The resulting surge in interest in biological sciences has made genetic engineering the most popular major, surpassing finance and law in popularity. Next to Jiang Tang is Class 2 of the genetic engineering department. The entire department only has two classes; if Li Baiwei, whom Jiang Tang met that day, is also a student in genetic engineering, and she's not in Class 1, then she should be in Class 2.
Sure enough, Jiang Tang spotted her in the front row of Class 2, chatting and laughing with her roommate, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Did I worry for nothing? I thought she might have an awkward relationship with her roommates because she has face blindness.
But now that I think about it, she was the kind of cheerful girl who didn't get discouraged by a bleak life and must have found her own way to cope.
Just like the scene she and her roommate are showing right now, haven't they already become good friends?
"What is Master looking at?" Shi Xue's voice was very low, her gaze tense yet unable to hide her excitement.
The feeling of successfully blending into the freshman orientation ceremony was familiar, reminding her of an experience from her childhood.
That was some time after Shi Xue had become Jiang Tang's little maid.
The master's family was attending a party where everyone present was a celebrity. At such an event, there was absolutely no chance for a poor and weak maid like Shixue to make an appearance.
However, Jiang Tang dressed Shi Xue up beautifully in advance, putting her in a cute little dress. It must be mentioned here that Jiang Tang has no interest in women's clothing, and the reason there are girls' clothes in the house is because of a certain annoying guy who came over to freeload.
That is, Jiang Peining. She has piles of clothes, all of which are luxury haute couture, and several walk-in closets are not enough to hold them all.
Since she wasn't going to wear it anyway, Jiang Tang simply took it and gave it to Shi Xue to wear.
I don't know if she ever found out.
After Jiang Tang dressed Shi Xue up, he secretly let her crawl into the trunk of his father's car, thus bringing Shi Xue to the party without anyone noticing.
Here, once you enter the venue, no one will doubt Shi Xue's identity. Everyone will assume that she is a dignified and polite little princess from a certain family, and Jiang Tang is her little knight guarding her. Her well-behaved appearance among a group of older sisters is especially endearing.
This is probably the best example of the saying "the darkest place is under the lamp".
What Jiang Tang didn't know was that Mu Qimei was also at that gathering. She was a few years older than Jiang Tang and was a young girl who had already begun to experience the troubles of adolescence. Her eyes had a natural charm, and a unique beauty mark under her lazy eyes was eye-catching.
She noticed Jiang Tang, but at that moment Jiang Tang was engrossed in a group of busty older women, so she didn't try to strike up a conversation with this... this important young man.
On the other hand, it should also be because Mu Qimei is rather arrogant; she feels that the man who conquers her must have the temperament of a king.
As for Jiang Tang, although his boyish appearance was endearing, it didn't inspire any desire in him.
But Mu Qimei couldn't deny that the moment Jiang Tang appeared, no other boy mattered anymore. He became the protagonist in everyone's eyes, and Mu Qimei's gaze followed him without bias.
Until a voice as cold as snow rang in my ears.
"Have you seen enough?"
A fragrant breeze wafted by, and the little princess with long silver hair, or perhaps a princess would be more appropriate, brushed past Mu Qimei.
She was Jiang Peining. Although Mu Qimei knew little about her at the time, she knew from the side that she was someone she absolutely could not afford to offend.
"..."
Mu Qimei remained silent, but eventually lowered her head and looked away from Jiang Tang.
At the same time, she was surprised to find that not only herself, but almost all the girls and women present had tacitly turned their attention away from Jiang Tang, who was the center of attention, when Jiang Peining arrived.
You can faintly hear Jiang Tang's dissatisfied complaints; yes, he is complaining to Jiang Peining.
"It's always you who makes the older girls stop playing with me."
“Then play with me.” Jiang Peining said matter-of-factly, glancing at Shi Xue next to Jiang Tang and the…familiar dress she was wearing.
Shi Xue lowered her head timidly, gave a soft hum, and then paid no more attention.
"No, I'm not playing with you." Jiang Tang refused decisively.
Because the games Jiang Peining likes to play are quite childish; she likes to play house.
And also because she likes to play house, where there only needs to be one master and one dog in the house, and since Jiang Peining is the master, then the dog is naturally...
But do you know what happened when Jiang Peining first told Jiang Tang with a contemptuous smile that she wanted to play this "master and dog" game?
What did Jiang Tang blurt out?
"Alright, let's play. You'll be my dog."
To this day, Jiang Peining still vividly remembers the matter-of-fact look on Jiang Tang's face, as well as the frozen smile on her own.
But the smile thawed immediately, and the curve of it suddenly looked somewhat eerie.
It felt both crazy and sweet.
