Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Hopping Mad

Noticing Su Qinghe’s nervousness, Gu Yifan stopped. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze, then leaned down and whispered softly in her ear, "It’s okay. I’m here. There’s nothing to be afraid of."

The warm breath from his words tickled Su Qinghe’s ear, making her even more bashful. The blush on her cheeks deepened, becoming more and more obvious.

And this intimate scene just so happened to be witnessed by everyone.

"Holy shit!"

"Are they kissing already?"

"Damn it!"

"You bastard, let go of our Goddess Su!"

"Stop!"

"You son of a bitch, you and I are mortal enemies now!"

"Fuck!"

"How does that guy dare?"

...

The crowd of boys who admired Su Qinghe completely lost it, stepping forward one after another, filled with righteous indignation.

Their shouts were loud, and Gu Yifan heard every word.

However, despite feeling the countless murderous glares focused on him, he looked completely unfazed.

’We didn’t even kiss, but so what if we did?’

’I’m kissing my own girlfriend. What fucking business is it of these guys!?’

He loved seeing them unable to stand him, yet completely powerless to do anything about it, barking impotently in their rage.

"Su Hanhan, the drill instructors are about to arrive. Come on, I’ll walk you back to your line first," Gu Yifan said, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Mhm," Su Qinghe murmured, nodding gently with a blush on her face.

Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the two of them slowly walked toward the line for Financial Management Class 1.

"Whoa..."

"Classmate Bao, Qinghe actually has a boyfriend?"

In the line for Financial Management Class 1, a girl asked with a surprised look.

The others in the class all gathered around, looking at Bao Baijie curiously, eager to hear what she would say.

Hearing someone call her name, Bao Baijie glanced at the girl and said coolly, "Yes, that’s right."

"This..."

Her affirmative answer left everyone in disbelief.

After all, the school year and military training had just barely started!

Su Qinghe, ranked number one on the freshman campus belle list, had already been snatched up???

Wasn’t that ridiculously fast?!

CRACK~

Bao Baijie could almost hear the sound of all the boys’ hearts breaking.

"Holy shit!"

Suddenly, someone slapped their thigh. "I finally get it! I understand why Su Qinghe scored so high but rejected Qingbei to come to Jinling University! It was to be with her boyfriend!"

Hearing this, everyone present recalled the background information about Su Qinghe they had seen on the forums.

At the time, everyone had been confused as to why Su Qinghe would willingly give up Qingbei University. Now, looking at the current situation, everything seemed to make perfect sense!

"Hiss..."

"I can’t believe the number one campus belle is just another one of those love-brained girls," someone said sarcastically.

"Yeah!"

"That kind of behavior is definitely being love-brained!"

"Though, that guy does look really handsome."

"But!"

"Giving up a perfectly good spot at Qingbei to come to Jinda University with the rest of us... I don’t even know what to say about her!"

"Exactly, how stupid!"

"If they break up in the future, she’ll have plenty to regret!"

"Oh, right, I remember the forums said Su Qinghe might have tried to jump off a building in high school. Could it be that she was lovesick and suicidal?"

"What... did that really happen?"

"For real?"

...

Many people chimed in.

Although their words weren’t directly insulting, their tone was sour with jealousy, tinged with disdain and contempt.

Hearing this, Bao Baijie, who was standing to the side, couldn’t help but frown.

She was just about to speak when Chu Xiaomeng, hearing people slander her best friend and badmouth her idol, jumped out angrily and shouted, "What do you know!"

"Uh..."

Chu Xiaomeng’s sudden outburst left all the girls stunned.

"If you don’t know the situation, then don’t spread baseless rumors, okay?!" she rebuked, her face red with anger.

Bao Baijie, her face dark, also spoke up. "We’re all classmates. Isn’t it wrong to gossip and speak ill of people behind their backs like this?!"

"Leaving aside the fact that Qinghe has never done anything to offend you, haven’t many of you drunk the water she brought for everyone? How can you be so sarcastic toward her? Don’t you have a conscience?!"

The few other girls who were closer to Su Qinghe also stepped forward angrily. "You don’t know anything, so why are you making wild guesses?"

"..."

Many of the girls looked embarrassed by the rebuke.

It was true.

Some people were just like that.

If it hadn’t been brought up just now, they would have already forgotten about the free water Su Qinghe had brought for them a few days ago.

But many were still jealous of Su Qinghe’s title as the number one campus belle and stubbornly retorted, "We’re just telling it like it is. We didn’t say anything bad about her. Besides, we’re not you. Why are you getting so worked up?"

"Qinghe is our sister! When you talk about her, you’re talking about us! How can we not get worked up?!" Chu Xiaomeng shot back, her face flushed with anger.

"Hah~"

"’Sisters’? You’ve all known each other for what, a few days, and you’re already ’sisters’!"

"Just hope it’s not some fake, plastic friendship!"

A girl jeered, refusing to back down and continuing to be sarcastic.

What could they do?

Su Qinghe’s beauty was simply on another level. It was bad enough that she was gorgeous, but her grades were also excellent, and now she was the number one campus belle!

It wasn’t just the boys in their own class who adored her; boys from neighboring classes came by every day to bring her water and snacks, fawning over her. In their hearts, the girls were already unbelievably jealous.

After all, with someone like Su Qinghe in their class, they were all reduced to being the green leaves that made the rose stand out. How could they possibly be content with that?

Now that a rare opportunity to put Su Qinghe down had presented itself, they naturally couldn’t resist jumping at the chance.

The moment that girl’s words came out, Bao Baijie and her friends instantly bristled with anger.

Bao Baijie stepped forward, pointed directly at the girl who had just been speaking sarcastically, and said coldly, "Shi Meijuan, don’t think I don’t know that you’ve been spreading bad rumors about Qinghe in the dorms lately!"

"I couldn’t be bothered to deal with you before, but aren’t you just jealous and resentful of Qinghe’s title as the number one campus belle?!"

"If you’re so resentful, go find the person who made the list! What’s your game, instigating everyone here to be passive-aggressive and slander your own classmate?"

Shi Meijuan: "..."

Having her true thoughts exposed by Bao Baijie, she was momentarily speechless. But how could she possibly admit to it in front of so many people?

So, she flushed red, stamped her feet, and stubbornly craned her neck to shout, "Who... Who said anything bad about her?!"

"And what does her being the number one campus belle have to do with me?! Why on earth would I be jealous of her!"

Bao Baijie shot her a disdainful look. "Whether you said it or not, whether you’re jealous or not, you know the truth in your own heart."

"I..."

Shi Meijuan’s face turned beet red. She wanted to say more, but was cut off by a magnetic male voice.

"Heh, quite a lively scene you’ve got here."
