Chapter 317
Rong Yu looked at the car.There was Lao Wu in her family, who loved studying all kinds of cars. Aye had mentioned the car in front of her; it was an electric vehicle worth over a million.
To a wealthy and powerful family, a million was naturally nothing.
But, as a gift for a boyfriend?
Then that million could be considered a massive expense.
Rong Yu asked her, "What kind of relationship are you in that actually has you gifting a car?"
"I offered to give it to him," Zhou Shiyu quickly explained. "He hasn't been in a good mood lately due to heavy academic pressure, so I bought a car to cheer him up."
"Tsk, your little boy toy doesn't seem that great," Rong Yu shrugged. "Take your time waiting, I'm heading in first."
Feeling somewhat despised, Zhou Shiyu hurriedly tried to save face, "Miss Rong, don't go yet. My boyfriend is incredibly handsome. Let me show you a picture, and you'll understand why I bought a gift to coax him. His smile is especially healing..."
She took out her phone, pulled up a photo, and handed it over.
Rong Yu: "?"
She saw Duan Fei on Zhou Shiyu's phone?
Duan Fei was Zhou Shiyu's boyfriend?
Incredible!
Truly incredible.
"I won't make a subjective judgment on whether his smile is healing or not," Rong Yu said. "Let me show you something."
She never looked at the campus forum.
But she couldn't help it when she had a chatterbox for a roommate. Whenever the girl, Yu Kexin, saw something on the forum, she would blabber about it and share it.
She quickly scrolled through the posts and finally found it.
Post title: Campus Legend: A two-way romance between the top senior girl and the standout of the Tianxingjian Class, composing the most beautiful equation.
Below it were a dozen pictures posted in a row.
Hugging.
Holding hands.
Gazing affectionately at each other.
"How is this possible?" Zhou Shiyu was completely stunned. "Is it a camera angle issue? A misunderstanding?"
Rong Yu twitched her lips. "You can keep deceiving yourself like that."
She patted Zhou Shiyu on the shoulder. "It won't be too late to gift the car after you investigate and clear things up, right?"
Zhou Shiyu said in a muffled voice, "I know."
Rong Yu had other matters to attend to, so she entered the school first.
A short while later, Duan Fei walked over. At a glance, he saw the car parked by the road. He had seen this car on the news a long time ago and had even deliberately mentioned it in front of Zhou Shiyu last month.
He didn't expect that she actually bought it.
Over a million, bought just like that.
He quickly suppressed the eagerness in his eyes and said with a plain expression, "I've been really busy lately. What do you need me for?"
Zhou Shiyu suppressed her emotions. "I just picked up a rock. It's really pretty, so I wanted to give it to you."
Looking at the dusty gray rock handed to him, Duan Fei's face darkened.
Wasn't she giving him a car?
What the hell was up with the rock?
Moreover, the rock was way too dirty. Why did it feel like it was picked up from the ground just seconds ago and hadn't even been washed clean?
He wanted to ask about the car.
But that wouldn't fit his persona.
After all, in the few months they had been together, he never had to ask for anything; Zhou Shiyu always took the initiative to present things to him.
He looked Zhou Shiyu up and down. "Your makeup looks beautiful today."
In the past, as long as he sweet-talked her, Zhou Shiyu's brain would turn to mush, and she would give him whatever he wanted.
Zhou Shiyu lowered her eyes. "By the way, you're in the Tianxingjian Class, right? I have a friend who is also in the Tianxingjian Class. Her name is Rong Yu."
"This friend of yours is really not that great." Duan Fei's expression changed, and he clenched his fists. "She aims too high and is eager to show off. She has a pretty bad reputation in class. If she said anything to you, you absolutely must not believe her."
Zhou Shiyu looked at him in disbelief.
She had originally harbored a tiny bit of doubt about the truth of the matter.
But now, it was confirmed.
What kind of good person would talk bad about Miss Rong behind her back?
Her face instantly turned cold. "It's getting late. I'm leaving!"
She had to go back and figure out what exactly was going on.
The car door slammed shut, and the vehicle instantly disappeared down the street.
Duan Fei looked astonished.
In all their previous dates, Zhou Shiyu would cling to him endlessly. Today, they had barely just met, and she left?
At this moment, he received a message on his phone from Zhai Weitong: "Duan Fei, I've arranged for Academician Tian to listen to our project. Prepare well tonight. Tomorrow morning, you will present to Academician Tian. If you perform well, Academician Tian will take you on as a student."
Duan Fei was extremely thrilled.
He returned to his dorm and stayed up all night.
The next morning, he met up with Zhai Weitong, full of energy.
Zhai Weitong reminded him, "Academician Tian is very busy. This opportunity is incredibly rare. Just perform normally and don't drop the ball... Wait, why is your face so pale? Did something happen?"
She noticed Duan Fei staring blankly.
She quickly followed his gaze and saw a girl standing under a large tree not far away.
She frowned. "What's wrong?"
Duan Fei's soul was nearly scared out of his body.
He took a deep breath. "She's a high school classmate of mine. She probably needs me for something. You go into the classroom first; I'll go chat with her. Just give me three minutes."
Zhai Weitong didn't suspect anything and turned to go inside.
Duan Fei dashed over, his face livid. "How many times have I told you not to come into Huaqing? This is the number one university in the country. Not just anyone can wander in here. Can you stop causing trouble for me!"
Zhou Shiyu tilted her head and looked at him. "Why do I feel like you're afraid of something?"
Duan Fei's lips stiffened. "Today is extremely important to me. You leave first. I'll contact you after I'm done."
"How can I not participate in my boyfriend's important moment?" Zhou Shiyu hugged his arm. "I'll just watch and then leave."
Duan Fei shook her off. "Stop joking around. Can a graduate from a third-rate university like you even understand it?"
Zhou Shiyu clenched her fingers slightly.
Actually, Duan Fei had always looked down on her, disdaining her for being superficial, having a low educational background, and only knowing how to spend money...
How could she have only realized it now?
The two were confronting each other.
Someone walking by recognized her. "Hey, isn't that the really popular internet streamer? Why is she at our school..."
Afraid of causing a scene, Duan Fei said with a gloomy face, "Later, you sit in the very back row and listen quietly. You are not allowed to make a single sound, do you hear me!"
Zhou Shiyu nodded.
The two walked in one after the other.
This was a project presentation room. There were seven or eight groups present, with two to four people per project. One representative was arranged to speak on stage, while four or five teachers below would ask questions and give critiques.
Soon it was Zhai Weitong's turn.
She had her assistant, Duan Fei, go on stage to give the presentation.
"Hello everyone, I am a freshman from the Tianxingjian Class. My name is Duan Fei. I am very honored to have participated in Senior Zhai's project..." Duan Fei stood on stage, looking radiant and confident. "From these perspectives, I will first introduce the specific direction of the project to the teachers, as well as what work we have done over this period of time..."
Zhai Weitong sat in the audience, looking at Duan Fei with a face full of admiration.
After entering college, she had always focused on her studies and had never been in a relationship. First, she didn't want to; second, she looked too ordinary, so no boys pursued her.
And with her personality, she couldn't bring herself to pursue anyone else either.
Duan Fei appeared at the perfect time and pursued her relentlessly. With graduation drawing near, she happened to be yearning for a passionate romance, so she said yes.
She had not chosen the wrong man.
Because she saw the look of approval in Academician Tian's eyes.
