Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Seeing Han Ning Again? Gu Yifan: "You’re so filthy, little old man!

As if sensing his gaze, the other person looked over in Gu Yifan’s direction.

Their eyes met.

For a moment, they both froze.

Han Ning...

He had known that Han Ning had also come to Jinling University, but the campus was huge and they weren’t in the same department, so they had never run into each other.

Gu Yifan had almost forgotten about it entirely.

But!

He never expected to run into her here today.

Gu Yifan’s feelings were complicated.

Han Ning, too, was filled with an indescribable feeling. She had chosen to come to Jinling University all by herself, for Gu Yifan.

She had since found out which department and class he was in, but they’d never had a chance to meet.

She had considered seeking him out, but he had blocked and deleted all of her contact information.

Besides, she figured Gu Yifan must have known she was at Jinling University, yet he had been cruel enough not to come and find her.

Her prideful nature wouldn’t allow her to let go of that last shred of dignity and approach him first.

As a result, half a month had already passed, and the two of them still hadn’t seen each other.

To think they would finally meet in a situation like this.

Seeing the faint surprise on Gu Yifan’s face, a sense of grievance instantly welled up in Han Ning’s heart. Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

Just then,

a voice came from the main stage:

"Next, let’s have this year’s national college entrance exam perfect-score champion, the freshman representative—Classmate Gu Yifan—come to the stage to give a speech!"

"Please give Classmate Gu Yifan a warm round of applause!"

The moment the words were spoken,

the entire athletic field erupted into a commotion.

"Holy shit!"

"Gu Yifan, the national perfect-score champion!"

"No way, that dude actually came here?"

"Yeah, I saw the banner at the school gate before. I thought he just made a deal with the university to use his champion title for publicity and then would drop out to study for the exam again!"

"After all, there are a lot of ’professional exam-takers’ who make money that way, like that guy named Tang something. There are tons of people like that now!"

"Yeah!"

"I can’t believe the guy actually showed up!"

"Looks like our school really shelled out the big bucks for him!"

...

On the field, groups of people began to murmur amongst themselves.

Meanwhile, Gu Yifan was completely dumbfounded.

’What the fuck?’

’What the hell is this situation??’

’There’s this part of the program???’

’Why didn’t anyone tell me about this beforehand????’

He stared in disbelief at the young female emcee on the stage, who was still calling his name...

"Ahem?"

When no one came up, the emcee on stage faltered for a second. However, she quickly recovered and continued with a smile, "It seems our applause wasn’t enthusiastic enough, and Classmate Gu Yifan didn’t hear us! Hehehe..."

"Please, let’s once again give our most enthusiastic round of applause to welcome our Classmate Gu Yifan!!"

CLAP—CLAP CLAP CLAP—

In an instant, a thunderous, overwhelming wave of applause swept across the field again.

Hearing this, Gu Yifan finally snapped back to his senses.

In that moment, he couldn’t spare a thought for Han Ning. Steeling himself, he walked out from the ranks and headed straight for the stage.

Seeing him appear, the emcee on stage finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.

But!

When Gu Yifan walked onto the stage and his face was clearly visible, everyone below was stunned!

"Wow~"

"Classmate Gu is so handsome!"

"I never expected Classmate Gu to be this handsome!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

"He’s such a handsome guy!"

"That face, I’m in love, I’m in love!"

"He’s totally my type!"

"Holy crap... it’s him! I’ve seen him on campus before. I can’t believe he’s Gu Yifan, the perfect-score champion!"

...

A group of girls chattered excitedly. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

"Damn~!"

"The hell?"

"This dude is that handsome?"

"It’s over. My priority mating rights for the next four years are gone!"

...

Many of the boys also spoke, their faces a mixture of shock and resignation.

"Tsk~ Not bad!"

"The top scorer’s looks can almost compete with mine!"

Just then, someone shouted loudly.

His voice was so loud that it drew the attention of many people nearby. When the crowd looked in the direction of the voice, they saw a boy wearing glasses, his face so covered in acne it looked ready to pop.

"Uh..."

Noticing the crowd’s searing gazes, the boy looked a little embarrassed, but he remained full of confidence. "Um... why is everyone looking at me? It’s not like I said anything wrong, right?!"

"BLEGH~!"

Seeing his ghastly appearance and complete lack of self-awareness, many of the girls nearly threw up.

At the same time,

in the ranks of the Financial Management and Physics Class 1, many people were stunned when they got a clear look at Gu Yifan’s face.

"Holy crap... isn’t that guy Su Qinghe’s boyfriend?"

"So that means the Su School Beauty’s boyfriend is the top scorer?"

"Who was it that said the Su School Beauty was a love-struck fool for giving up Qingbei for a pretty boy and coming to Jinda University, and that she’d regret it?"

"Damn it, the two of them gave up Qingbei to come to Jinda University together, okay?!"

"Yeah!"

"I can’t believe Classmate Qinghe’s boyfriend is the legendary top scorer!"

"He’s handsome and the top scorer... what kind of god-like existence is he?"

"Seriously! Both Qinghe and he have such good grades and are so good-looking. They’re a perfect match, okay!"

"A love-struck fool?! This is clearly a case of mutual love, okay? Damn it, and you called that being love-struck?!"

"Yeah, I’m so envious!"

...

Many people began to change their original opinions, voicing their envy.

Hearing the crowd’s chatter, the few girls who had previously called Su Qinghe love-struck were all blushing with shame.

This was especially true for Shi Meijuan, who had led the slander against Su Qinghe. Right now, she was so embarrassed she wished she could crawl into a hole and disappear.

"Qinghe, Classmate Gu is actually going up to give a speech!"

"He’s truly worthy of being called Mr. Gu! Look at all those girls swooning over him!"

"Qinghe, you’d better keep a close eye on Classmate Gu from now on. The way those girls are looking at him, it’s like they want to eat him alive!"

...

Chu Xiaomeng and the others standing next to Su Qinghe all chimed in.

In a flash, Su Qinghe’s face turned beet red.

She didn’t say a word, just stared dazedly at Gu Yifan’s handsome, upright figure on the stage, her eyes shimmering.

When Gu Yifan reached the stage and saw Vice-Principal Sun Lingming’s wry, knowing smile, he instantly understood what this sudden arrangement was all about...

’Uh... so I took a canister of your tea!’

’And you pull a stunt like this on me?!’

’Trying to catch me off guard and make me look like a fool in front of everyone?’

Gu Yifan muttered under his breath, "You little old man, you fight dirty..."
