Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Bao Baijie: This Damned Sour Stench of Love

After leaving the classroom, Gu Yifan sent Su Qinghe a message, asking if her class meeting was over so he could go pick her up.

A moment later, Su Qinghe replied that it would still be a little while and that it was fine for Gu Yifan to head back to the small courtyard by himself first.

But!

There was no way Gu Yifan was going back by himself!

"Brother Fan, who are you texting? You look so happy."

Walking beside him, Young Master B Wang Shouyi had noticed the smile on Gu Yifan’s face as he stared at his phone, and his curiosity got the better of him.

"Pr... Probably his girl!"

He Dongdong, who was following behind, chimed in.

"Uh..."

Gu Yifan froze for a second. He had almost forgotten the two of them were even there.

After a whole night of explaining, He Dongdong had proven that he wasn’t a shit-stirrer.

He was just one of Gu Yifan’s more zealous fans, and his previous actions were simply the result of getting nervous and excited upon meeting his idol. It was all a misunderstanding!

He shot a glance at the slightly loose-lipped He Dongdong, but Gu Yifan didn’t say anything more.

He thought for a moment before saying, "Um... I have something to do in a bit. I need to head over to the Zhi Xing Building, which is in a different direction. Let’s just part ways here."

After speaking, he waved to the two of them, then turned and walked off in the other direction.

"Uh..."

He left Wang Shouyi and He Dongdong staring at each other, completely dumbfounded.

"Ahem."

"Dongzi, what did you just say?"

"His girl???"

Wang Shouyi, the first to recover, looked at He Dongdong in confusion.

"Uh..."

He Dongdong also realized at that moment that he had just run his mouth.

For a moment, he didn’t know if he should say more or not.

’But Gu Yifan didn’t say anything to me just now. He probably doesn’t care too much if other people know about it!’

He thought to himself.

After mulling it over, he said, "Yeah... Brother Fan must have a girlfriend. I saw them in the school cafeteria this evening."

"Holy shit!"

Hearing He Dongdong’s words, Wang Shouyi’s eyes went wide. In utter shock, he exclaimed, "That guy Old Fan is handsome and his grades are insane, I can accept that, but he even has a girlfriend now?!"

"I didn’t dare stare before, but his girlfriend is super beautiful! Even prettier than those female celebrities I see on TV!"

"She and Brother Fan look great together!"

Seeing his shocked expression, He Dongdong shook his head and said softly.

"..."

At these words, Wang Shouyi suddenly fell silent.

SIGH...

After a long moment, he took a deep breath and said with a pained expression, "Oh, heavens, you are so unfair!"

...

Meanwhile, Gu Yifan was completely unaware of all this.

He was walking along with a cigarette dangling from his lips, messaging Su Qinghe on QQ.

Over on Su Qinghe’s end, the class meeting was also about to wrap up.

When she saw that Gu Yifan was on his way to pick her up, a happy smile uncontrollably tugged at the corners of Su Qinghe’s lips, and she felt incredibly happy.

"Hey, Qinghe, who are you secretly chatting with? You look so happy."

Just like what happened to Gu Yifan earlier, a girl with glasses sitting next to Su Qinghe leaned over and whispered.

The girl’s name was Bao Baijie, someone Su Qinghe had just met after coming to the classroom. Her personality was a bit like Sao Man Peng Shaoqiang’s; they were both textbook social butterflies who got familiar with people right away.

"Ah?"

Seeing Bao Baijie lean in, Su Qinghe flusteredly put her phone away. Her face instantly flushed crimson as she whispered, "It’s... It’s nothing."

Bao Baijie took one look at her blushing, bashful expression and clearly didn’t buy it.

But since they had only just met and weren’t that close yet, she didn’t press the issue.

It just made her curious what kind of boyfriend someone with Su Qinghe’s personality would have.

’I wonder if that silly Hanhan will be able to get used to her new environment.’

Gu Yifan shook his head, took a final drag from his cigarette, then stubbed it out in a trash can on the side of the road and continued walking.

Along the way, Gu Yifan opened their chat window again. Seeing that Su Qinghe hadn’t replied for a while, he felt a little puzzled but didn’t overthink it. However, his pace couldn’t help but quicken a little.

...

"Alright, it’s getting late. That’s all for tonight’s class meeting. Everyone, head back and get some rest!"

As the counselor at the podium finished speaking, the first class meeting for Su Qinghe’s class finally ended.

The entire classroom instantly burst into a clamor, with everyone chattering away with their new classmates.

Su Qinghe glanced out the classroom window, then looked at her phone. Seeing that Gu Yifan had sent her several messages that she hadn’t answered, she grew anxious, worried that he might be concerned. She quickly began typing a reply to explain what had just happened.

"Qinghe, want to walk back to the dorm together?"

Bao Baijie asked Su Qinghe, who was in the middle of typing.

"Huh?"

The sudden voice startled Su Qinghe. She looked up and saw her classmate, Bao Baijie, looking at her, a little bewildered.

She had been so focused on typing her explanation to Gu Yifan that she hadn’t clearly heard what Bao Baijie had just said.

"What... What did you just say?"

Su Qinghe’s face flushed slightly as she asked in an embarrassed whisper. Su Qinghe’s face flushed slightly as she asked in an embarrassed whisper.

Bao Baijie: "..."

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Shaking her head in resignation, she said, "I said, do you want to walk back to the dorm with us!"

"Oh, oh..."

Su Qinghe nodded and said, a little sheepishly, "N-no, that’s okay. I’m going to leave in a little bit."

"Hmm?"

Bao Baijie paused for a second. "The dorm is pretty far from here. Are you sure you don’t want to walk with us?"

"Yeah, you should come with us. Even though there are streetlights, it’s still pretty creepy this late at night!"

Another girl nearby chimed in to agree.

"Mm-hmm."

Su Qinghe just gave a slight nod.

Gu Yifan had told her to just wait for him in the classroom. Besides, she hadn’t yet told her new classmates that she didn’t live in the girls’ dormitory.

"Waiting for your boyfriend to come pick you up?"

Something suddenly clicked for Bao Baijie. With a knowing glint in her eye, she raised an eyebrow and asked.

WHOOSH—

Her secret laid bare, Su Qinghe’s face instantly flushed a deep crimson.

Seeing Su Qinghe’s reaction, Bao Baijie knew she had guessed correctly!

"Sigh."

"Ugh, the foul reek of new love!"

Bao Baijie couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"Whoa~"

"Qinghe, you just got to school and you already have a boyfriend?"

"No, Qinghe is so pretty, you should be asking how someone managed to snatch her up!"

"Yeah, yeah! Qinghe, is your boyfriend in our year or an upperclassman?"

"Beauty Su, hurry and tell us, how did you find a boyfriend!"

Several other girls, both surprised and curious, gathered around Su Qinghe and started asking questions.

"N-no... It’s not... I... I..."

Surrounded and bombarded with questions, Su Qinghe became so shy that she started stuttering, not knowing what to say.

Just then.

Gu Yifan arrived at the base of the Zhi Xing Building...
