Yu Manxiâs matter sank into the ocean, and it didnât make the slightest splash. She was busy studying for her exam and didnât care about the news online.
The examination venue was far away from the Software Garden, in a certain university on the other side of the capital. Fu Sinian had helped book a hotel for her. She had packed her luggage and books to prepare for the exam two days ago, but she didnât let him follow her.
This made Fu Sinian feel a little frustrated.?Isnât it good for me to take care of you?
Yu Manxi had her own considerations. She had been so busy with her exam recently that she barely took a shower every day. She hadnât washed her hair for a few days, so she was sloppy and too embarrassed to see him.
Meanwhile, Song Fengwan was busy participating in the design competition. She handed in her draft, but she was dissatisfied and told the senior in charge that she would give up her qualifications.
The senior looked confused.
The entire school could participate in the design competition, not only the first-years of the art school. The design draft she submitted was definitely a top-notch work among the drafts he had seen.
She had modeled it after the traditional hornless dragon tiger. It was magnificent and imposing, completely unlike the brushstrokes of a young girl. The strokes were experienced, sharp, and exquisite.
The deadline for the submission of the design drafts was over, and the Design Club arranged a gathering mainly to welcome the new students.
The senior in charge passed all the information of the registered students and their submitted drafts to Gao Xue. As they were arranged according to the department and student ID number, Gao Xue saw at a glance that Song Fengwanâs was not among them.
âYou participated too?â
The boy tugged at his hair. âJust giving it a try.â
âSong Fengwan didnât participate?â She was a little surprised.
âShe originally participated, but she abstained later. The draft she submitted was quite good.â
âDo you have her draft?â Gao Xue smiled. âShe used to be my student, and sheâs a rare and malleable talent. If we nurture her well, she will definitely have great achievements in the future.â
âI donât have the draft, but I took a photo of it. Sheâs quite impressive.â They were both students, and since he had managed to get to his position, his abilities were naturally not bad. But he would definitely feel sour hearing the teachers praise another person all the time.
âThen, show me the photo you took later. I want to know why she didnât participate in the competition.â
âOkay.â
Soon, Gao Xue received a photo of Song Fengwanâs design drawing. It was unexpectedly good. She also looked through the designs of many students, many of whom were too immature and obviously not as good as hers. Her work could have entered the finals.
Why didnât she participate in the competition?
Her gaze landed on the design she was about to exhibit. It was actually somewhat similar to the hornless dragon tiger drawing.
Gao Xue took a deep breath and gripped her phone tightly.
The news that the teachers of the art school liked Song Fengwan and wanted to focus on nurturing her had spread like wildfire.
Many professors in the art school were famous people in the industry. If anyone could gain their favor, with their recommendation, it wouldnât be difficult to find a good job after graduating. A first-year whom the professors had praised many times naturally became a celebrity in the art school.
There was a lot of jealousy.
Miao Yating and Song Fengwan were not in the same class. But in her class, Song Fengwan was the one people discussed the most every day.
***
Song Fengwan didnât take it to heart. She was changing her clothes and preparing to attend the Design Clubâs gathering.
This was the clubâs first gathering together. If she didnât go, she would become very unpopular. Many people would probably say that she was arrogant.
When she arrived at the private room, the four round tables were almost full. The familiar faces were a few senior students in charge of the design competition.
âSong Fengwan.â Someone suddenly called her.
She looked over and unexpectedly saw Xu Jingcheng.
After the new members entered the club, they had only held a meeting once. At the time, Xu Jingcheng wasnât there.
âYour vice president and I are in the same dormitory. Iâm just here to freeload.â Xu Jingcheng had been threatened by Fu Chen last time, so he didnât dare to be rash.
This girlâs boyfriend could eat people.
Song Fengwan smiled and sat beside him. On the other side was a girl who was also a first-year and majoring in biochemistry.
The two of them only spoke a few words, but it caused some people to kick up a fuss.
âXu Jingcheng, Iâve never seen you be so enthusiastic about any girl before. Do you like this junior?â
âYeah, theyâre a perfect match.â
â¦
Everyoneâs teasing made Xu Jingchengâs face pale in fright.
âNo, we went to the same high school, and we were classmates. She has a boyfriend. Donât spout nonsense. Iâll be beaten up.â Xu Jingcheng was telling the truth.
Everyone laughed.
They all thought that Xu Jingcheng was joking when he said he would be beaten up.
âJunior, you have a boyfriend?â No one believed her.
Ever since Wu Yuxin fell from her pedestal, Song Fengwan had become the object of many boysâ crush. She had just entered university, so how could she possibly have a boyfriend? No one had seen her with the opposite sex either.
âImpossible! So fast!â
Song Fengwan smiled and nodded. âI have a boyfriend. We got together in high school.â
Tonight, many boys were eager to hit on her. Upon hearing this, they instantly gave up.
âJunior, youâre not lying to us, are you? Do you really have a boyfriend?â
âReally. Weâve been together for a long time,â Song Fengwan said firmly, not seeming to be lying. At this moment, her phone vibrated. âSorry, itâs my boyfriend.â
The sweetness on her face didnât look like she was lying.
Many boys looked at each other with hatred in their hearts.
What evil person tempted her to fall in love early when she was in high school?
He didnât leave them any chance at all. This person was too fast.
âXu Jingcheng, does she really have a boyfriend? Youâre not lying to us, are you?â
Xu Jingcheng was speechless. âShe really has a boyfriend, and heâs very fierce and powerful.â?Otherwise, I would have made a move long ago. How could it be your turn?
He had already been intimidated twice. Now that he thought about it, there was still a faint chill on his back.
âBeauty and the beast?â
âNo, heâs quite handsome.â Xu Jingcheng didnât deny that Fu Chen was impeccable.
âThen, thereâs even less of a chanceâ¦â
â¦
Most of the people in Beijing University were boys, so during the club gathering, it was inevitable that there would be toasting at the dining tables. Song Fengwan kept saying that she didnât want to drink, but in the end, she had no choice but to drink a little.
During the latter half of the gathering, she felt a little dizzy. The alcohol at student gatherings wasnât good, so it was easy to get drunk.
She grabbed her bag and got up to leave.
âWhere are you going?â Xu Jingcheng was also a little drunk.
âThe restroom.â Song Fengwanâs head felt a little swollen. Now that the group of people were drinking and had yet to have their fill, she planned to slip away in advance.
The gathering place the club chose was still a distance away from the dormitory. Hu Xinyue had sent her a message earlier, saying that her club gathering had ended. If it was too late, she and Miao Yating could pick her up.
While walking, she took out her phone and called Hu Xinyue.
It was Friday today, so there was no evening self-study. Hu Xinyue was sitting on her bed, eating and watching a drama. When she saw the caller ID, she hurriedly wiped her hands. âHey, Wanwanâ¦â
âAre you free now?â Her voice was a little unsteady. She had obviously drunk alcohol.
âYou drank too much. I know where your gathering is. Wait for me at the door. Yating and I will pick you up.â
âOkay.â
Song Fengwan felt that there was a double image of everything in front of her. Someone passed by her side. She carefully avoided them and was caught off guard when she bumped into someoneâs embrace.
âOhâ¦â She subconsciously wanted to dodge, but a pair of warm hands reached out and wrapped around her body.
âHow much did you drink?â The manâs voice was very low and landed beside her ear. It was gentle and affectionate, making her heart itchâ¦
Song Fengwan tried her best to open her eyes and see the person in front of her clearly. The double image gathered to reveal a very familiar figure. She suddenly grinned. âWhy are you here?â
âDidnât you say you wanted to see me?â
Song Fengwan had been busy drawing design drawings these few days until late at night. She hadnât seen Fu Chen for two days, and she had said she missed himâ¦
Then he came.
Song Fengwan raised her little face and pressed her entire body against him. Under the warm lighting, her fair face was unnaturally red, and her phoenix eyes were innocent.
She made him feel like committing a crime.
Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and pecked her lips.
The apple-flavored lip balm mixed with the spiciness of the alcohol stimulated his five senses.
âHuh?â Song Fengwan suddenly reached out to pinch his face. âAre you really Third Brother?â
Qian Jiang and Shi Fang were standing not far away. They couldnât help laughing out loud as they watched Third Masterâs face change into various shapes at the fingertips of a certain young lady.
Ever since they started following Fu Chen, they had never seen anyone dare to do anything rash on his face. She was rubbing it flat and round.?Miss Song, are you serious?
âOhâ¦â After Song Fengwan ravaged Fu Chenâs face, her fingers landed on his high nose bridge, and she couldnât help laughing out loud. âIt looks good.â
Actually, Fu Chenâs nose bridge wasnât very high, but his facial features were well matched, looking handsome and perfect.
âDo you like it?â Fu Chen and Song Fengwan had already walked to a relatively remote place.
Fu Chen pressed her against the wall, lowered his head, and slowly approached her.
She had drunk some alcohol, so her mouth was tender and glistening with an alluring luster. She opened and closed her mouth like a silent invitation.
âWanwan, do you like it?â He started coaxing her with his deep and hoarse voice again.
âI like it.â Song Fengwanâs soft body leaned against him, and even her voice was utterly soft.
âIf you like it, kiss meâ¦â Fu Chen coaxed her.
The two of them had been dating for a long time, but Song Fengwan was still a little passive in certain matters and couldnât let herself go. When she was drunk though, it was easy for her to take the initiative.
Song Fengwan looked up and whined unhappily, âI canât reach~â
Fu Chen let out a low laugh. He leaned down until their eyes were level. She took the initiative to wrap her arms around Fu Chenâs neck. Perhaps because she had drunk alcohol, the spiciness was stimulating, and her mouth was dry. She actually took the initiative to stretch out her little tongue and lick his lips twiceâ¦
He originally had the thought of teasing her. But at this moment, his throat was dry and tight, and a small beast was banging around in his heart.
âIf you continue like this, I wonât be able to stop.â Fu Chen touched her hair. His lips were parted, and his eyes were dark.
âMmphââ Halfway through the kiss, it suddenly disappeared. She was slightly displeased.
âShall we go out first?â Fu Chen helped her outside.
This was an ordinary small restaurant. Now, there was only a lady boss sitting at the cashier waiting for the gathering in the private room to end. Most of the people who came here were university students, so it was not strange for men and women to hug here.
She just felt that these two people looked good, so she couldnât help taking a few more glances at them.
âWhere are you taking me?â Song Fengwan looked up at Fu Chen.
âLetâs go out first.â
âDonât tell me you want to take me to a hotel againâ¦â
Again??Fu Chen frowned.?What kind of person does this girl think I am? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When the lady boss heard their conversation, she looked at them in surprise.
***
When Hu Xinyue and Miao Yating rushed to the restaurant, there was no one at the door.
âAuntie, is there anyone else inside?â Hu Xinyue asked.
The lady boss glanced at them. âThereâs still a group of people left.â
âLetâs go take a look.â
They were all students, so the lady boss didnât care. When the two of them arrived at the private room, the people inside were already drunk. They only found out that Song Fengwan had gone to the restroom after asking around.
The two of them rushed to the restroom, but there was still no one there. They searched almost all the private rooms, but they didnât see Song Fengwan, and no one answered her phone.
The two of them were immediately anxious. They went to the lady boss, took out Song Fengwanâs photo, and asked if she saw her.
âBoss, have you seen her? Did she go out?â
The lady boss took a look. âShe left earlier.â
âShe left?â Hu Xinyue was surprised. âWhen did she leave?â
âAbout ten minutes ago. She seemed to have drunk too much and was helped out by a man. She even said that they were going to a hotel. You can go to a nearby hotel to look for her.â It was not rare for university students to get a room.
âA man? What kind?â
âHeâs slim, tall, and very handsome.â The boss was stuck for words and could only describe him like this. âIsnât he a student?â
Fu Chen had dressed simply today. He was wearing a white shirt and a classic black trench coat, and his face didnât seem like he had entered society at all. Moreover, many young people nowadays had a much more mature face than their age.
âXinyue, what should we do?â Miao Yating instantly panicked. âWho took her away?â
The reason the two of them came to pick her up was that they knew many boys liked her, and they were afraid that something would happen if she drank a little.
âDonât be anxious. Letâs go look for her outside first. Iâll call her boyfriend.â The first time Hu Xinyue and Fu Chen had met, he had given her his phone number.
When Fu Chenâs phone rang, he was a little surprised to see that it was Hu Xinyue.
âHey.â
âMr. Fu, something happened to Wanwan.â Hu Xinyueâs voice was trembling slightly. She was only a half-grown child and had never encountered such a thing before, so she was flustered.
Fu Chen looked at the person in his arms. âHuh?â
âShe was taken away by a strange man, and he even wants to take her to a hotel. F*ck, which pervert is this? Heâs worse than a beast. He attacked a drunk young lady. Come over quickly.
âIâm going to call the police. If I catch that bastardâ¦
âI must kill him. How can there be such a despicable and shameless person?â
Fu Chenâs face darkened. âYouâ¦â
âMr. Fu, Iâm sorry. I didnât take good care of Wanwan.â Hu Xinyue was the oldest in the dormitory. She had a simple and straightforward personality and always played the role of an elder sister. At the side, Miao Yating was so scared and anxious that her eyes were red.
âThat despicable and shameless person might be me..â Fu Chenâs voice was low, as if he was trying his best to restrain something.
