Chapter 205 Rescue

In the past few days, Qiao Susu has finished all the part-time jobs she had and communicated with the operations department about the submission time and price. Because they had a previous cooperation and her article was a hit, the price of Qiao Susu's manuscript doubled, and she no longer needed to wait in line for review and could directly receive modification suggestions.

This way, she has a lot more free time.

She gave up her previous internship as a theater attendant and chose to report to Zhenge.

Interns are usually required to work four days a week, but Qiao Suisui's situation was unique, so she was granted two days. Because it was a collaboration between the university and the company, interns were unpaid, but they would receive credits at the end of the semester. Qiao Suisui didn't mind this, simply believing it was a rare opportunity and one she must seize. But others didn't share that sentiment.

That day, she came to the classroom as usual. It was an elective class, and Lin Xixi specifically chose the same class as her. She had reserved a seat for Qiao Susu early on.

Just as Qiao Susu was about to walk over, a girl behind her bumped into her shoulder and walked past her with a swagger, turning back and giving her a cold look.

After Qiao Susu stood firm, she saw that the other person was the one who had squeezed out her place before, named Fang Yuan.

"Hey, isn't this our famous number one player spokesperson? Why is he not picked by the boss and is going to work? Why is he still coming to class?" Fang Yuan said to the person next to him in a sarcastic tone while picking his newly done nails.

The two girls next to him echoed.

"That's right, look at her looks, she might be after some rich guy."

"Her internship is nothing compared to Yuanyuan's. Yuanyuan only needs to go one day a week, and she gets paid. I heard there are a lot of handsome guys among the drama actors. With Yuanyuan's charm, she should be able to get the job."

Fang Yuan feigned a shy smile and said, "What the hell are you talking about? I'm just doing an internship, and I've made an appointment with Meng Ze to take the postgraduate entrance exam together." As she spoke, she glanced at a boy sleeping on his stomach in the last row of the classroom. He was tall, wearing a black sleeveless hoodie, and his sturdy, smooth arms made every passing girl take a second look.

"Bah! With your grades, you're still taking the postgraduate entrance exam? Why don't you just ask your father, the director, to get you in directly?" Lin Xixi had been holding it in for a long time. Ever since she saw Qiao Suisui being bumped by a few people, she had rolled up her sleeves and was about to join the fight, but Qiao Suisui's eyes stopped her. At this moment, she saw the fake smile that appeared on Fang Yuan's face, which was covered with thick foundation, and she almost spit out the egg pancake she had eaten that morning.

"Fang Yuan, next time you go out, can you please look in the mirror beforehand, or ask your two followers to help you with some advice? Your powder is as white as wall paint, and it flakes off when you smile. Even your love of your life, Gu Mengze, has to hide away when he sees you. How could he look at you straight before? When he sees you, doesn't he remind you of a decorator scraping putty? You really apply it more evenly than any other decorator."

"What are you talking about! Do I know you? You are swearing at me. You...you have no manners!" Fang Yuan cried angrily and shouted at Lin Xixi. She looked around, but what she paid most attention to was Gu Mengze's reaction.

The other two girls also joined in, and their curses were nothing new, just greetings to Lin Xixi's mother and her entire family.

Suddenly, more than a dozen mobile phones were raised in the classroom, and all the students were watching the show with great interest.

Qiao Susu was afraid that Lin Xixi would suffer, so she pulled her out of the classroom, but the three girls refused to give in.

"Why, you want to run away after scolding someone?"

One of the girls started pushing and shoved Qiao Susu's shoulder hard. Lin Xixi cursed and smashed her schoolbag on the girl's head with a "bang". "Crash", all the textbooks poured down at once and hit the girl's face and body.

Lin Xixi studied civil engineering, and her textbook was so thick that it hit the other person so hard that he saw stars.

"You! Don't go! You're dead today!" The girl was hit on the head, her eyes red with anger, and she raised her hand to slap Lin Xixi. Qiao Susu immediately stood in front of Lin Xixi.

She closed her eyes tightly and subconsciously turned her face to the side to avoid it, but after waiting for a moment, she felt no pain.

When Qiao Susu opened her eyes, she saw a strong arm reaching out from above her head, with the blue veins on the arm clearly visible.

Gu Mengze grabbed the girl's hand and shook it off, pushing her so hard that she staggered.

"Mengze. She, they bullied me." Fang Yuan covered his mouth with his hands, looking like he was about to cry.

Gu Mengze was a gymnast. His 5'88" frame was incredibly intimidating, making girls want to lean on him because his physique made them feel safe and protected. He swam quickly and achieved top grades, but he was aloof and had a bad temper. He didn't like socializing, so the swim team members didn't like him. Another reason they didn't like him was that Gu Mengze was incredibly popular with the girls. No girl could resist his handsome face; it was just too handsome. He had the typical school idol look that everyone in the girls' dorms would discuss during their school days.

At this time, Gu Mengze stared straight at Fang Yuan.

A few onlookers, not wanting to make a fuss, started a livestream to record them, excitedly whispering to the screen, "Wow, this class was totally worth it, folks! The man of all hearts, Gu Mengze, is sticking up for Fang Yuan. Could it be that Fang Yuan, who's been pursuing me, has finally hooked me this time?"

The number of people in the live broadcast room soared rapidly in the blink of an eye and spread to several large groups.

Fang Yuan sobbed and went up to pull Gu Mengze's sleeve. She no longer had the domineering look she had just now, and only looked pitiful as if she was being bullied.

"Mengze, I'm fine, don't be angry. Let's just call it a day."

Before Fang Yuan could finish his words, Gu Mengze interrupted him: "You guys are so noisy."

Everyone was stunned.

Gu Mengze ignored Fang Yuan's suddenly darkening expression and continued, "I never said I wanted to take the postgraduate entrance exam. When will you stop talking about this?"

"Puff—"

I don’t know who in the crowd couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Immediately afterwards, all the students in the classroom couldn't help but burst into laughter. The student who was live-streaming covered his mouth with his hands, looking gloating: "My family has been upset. It's easy for a girl to chase a boy, but it seems like it's a mountain for a girl to chase a handsome man."

Several comments flashed across the screen——

[Damn, this is so exciting! If I had known earlier, I would have gone to this class. Damn, I paid for the substitute to watch such a big show!]

[Within two minutes, I want all the information about the girl standing in front of Gu Mengze! ]

[That girl is so pretty, which department is she from? ]

[Hahaha, Fang Yuan didn't get to lick it. It's been so long, I thought she had already taken it.]

[Wait a minute, isn't this the girl who gave the speech at the last lecture? Is she a freshman?]

[Ah, what kind of lecture is this? I need a make-up class!]

[Oh no, is it my fault? I actually think the picture of Gu Mengze and that girl standing together is so pleasing to the eye.]

The student's fingers quickly typed on the keyboard to reply to the comment: [Gu Mengze fans, stay away and take our department's beauty away. Look at you, you've never seen anything so delicious! loopy slutty.JGP]

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Fang Yuan couldn't stand this socially devastating scene. All eyes were on her from all directions, and she felt humiliated. She pushed Gu Mengze hard, and this time she ran out crying with real emotion.

Gu Mengze didn't move at all. He stood on the steps with his hands in his trouser pockets and no expression on his face.

He lowered his head slightly, just in time to meet Qiao Susu's gaze as she looked up at him.

Their eyes met.

Gu Mengze looked at her for two seconds and then looked away first.

"You two should keep your voices down."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his seat and lay down to continue sleeping.

Lin Xixi pulled Qiao Suisui over to sit down, but Qiao Suisui squatted down and picked up her books one by one, wiping the dust off them with her hands and the corners of her clothes. Lin Xixi's nose tightened, and she squatted down to gather the scattered books. Therefore, neither of the two girls noticed Gu Mengze's gaze as he lifted his head from his arms.
