Chapter 21: The little beauty's heart beats for the 150th time since she started college...

Probably not.

Thinking back on Lu Tinghe's performance today, he was graceful, gentle and patient throughout the whole process, and he didn't even get angry when his shirt was soiled.

Shi Shang lay back on the bed, deciding to block out this shameful memory.

He held his tail and thought carefully. Now that he had a stable source of food, other humans were temporarily unable to eat it.

To avoid trouble, let's keep this smell away for now.

Shi Shang yawned as he felt sleepy. He turned over, rubbed his cheek against the soft pillow, and slowly fell into a sweet dream.

*

The next day, Shi Shang raised her hand and turned off the alarm clock on the bedside table.

It was eight o'clock in the morning today. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up from the bed.

She first checked to see if there was still that alluring scent on her body. After confirming that there was none, Shi Shang resigned herself to her fate and climbed down from the bed, tiptoeing into the bathroom to wash up.

The first class was an elective course on campus, with students from several colleges attending the class together in a large classroom.

Lin Zhuoran couldn't get up in the morning and didn't choose this class. Shi Shang always arrived in the classroom early, then chose a corner in the back row and served as the mushroom for the whole class.

I went there late today, and the seats in the back row were basically full, with only a few empty seats in the front row.

Shi Shang looked around and finally found a fish that had escaped the net by the wall in the front row.

As class was about to start, people started to come into the classroom one after another.

Not long after Shi Shang sat down, someone came over and asked, "Classmate, is there anyone next to you?"

"No." Shi Shang politely moved the textbook towards herself to make room for him.

The man's eyes were still glued to the game on his phone. He gave a perfunctory "hmm" and sat down without even looking up.

It was not until the bell rang that Zhou Haoyu reluctantly put his phone into the desk.

The professor was marking key points on the stage and he took out a brand new textbook from his bag.

He searched for a pen again, but couldn't find one after a few tries. Zhou Haoyu sighed and said to the person next to him, "Classmate, do you have an extra pen? Can I borrow one? Forget it, I'll just buy it. How much? Just name your price."

He turned his head impatiently, but suddenly froze in place.

The young man in front of me has delicate features, red lips, white teeth, and long eyelashes like two small fans. When he looks at me, he looks like the most innocent deer in the forest.

Shi Shang hummed, rummaged through her bag, and politely replied, "Sorry, I only have one either."

Zhou Haoyu couldn't help but hold his hand over his heart, feeling his heart beating for the 150th time since he started college.

He no longer cared about the pen. He quickly adjusted his sitting posture, supported his forehead with his hand and brushed his bangs, inadvertently revealing his tense muscles and smiling brightly, showing off his eight teeth.

"Hello, classmate. I'm Zhou Haoyu, a junior in the Basketball Department of the Physical Education College."

He leaned closer to Shi Shang and guessed, "You're a freshman this year, right? What college are you from? What's your name? Why don't you get to know the seniors? More friends means more paths."

When Shi Shang heard this, she suddenly became alert and moved the textbook on the table closer to her. She replied with a stiff face, "I'm a freshman. Class is in session and the teacher is explaining the key points. I won't say anything."

After saying that, he raised his head and listened very attentively to the lecture given by the old man on the stage, not even glancing at the person next to him.

It’s no wonder that Shi Shang was wary. When school started, he was approached even when he was in class alone.

The person who was sitting next to him started a conversation by asking to borrow his pen. Their conversation was very pleasant, and in the second class, the other person even gave him a brand new fountain pen.

When he learned that Shi Shang was an art student, he enthusiastically demonstrated the functions of the fountain pen and praised it highly, saying that one was better than five and could still be used until the end of the semester.

Or he would sigh pitifully and say that his family was not well off, with a seriously ill father, a hard-working mother, and a sister who was in school. He was a broken man and could only earn his tuition by doing some small business.

Shi Shang didn't understand the dangers of the world at that time and was kind-hearted. She really thought that she could save money and help him at the same time, so she generously bought more than a dozen.

But when I took it back, the pen ran out of ink not long after I used it, and I couldn't write anything else.

Shi Shang was confused and wanted to ask that person, but found that he had never come to class again, and the WeChat account that collected the payment had also blocked him.

It was only when Lin Zhuoran told him that he realized he had been cheated.

Those pens are sold wholesale online for fifty cents a piece, specifically to scam poor kids like them who have just entered college and don't know how to judge people.

Selling a 50-cent pen for 10 yuan is even worse than a fraud demon!

Shi Shang's already difficult life became even worse, and she no longer dared to trust others easily.

When encountering strangers who come up to him and ask questions enthusiastically, he would be wary and not even look at them, for fear that they would empty his wallet.

His resistance was written all over his face, but Zhou Haoyu didn't get angry. He didn't disturb him from listening to the class and took out his cell phone to fiddle with it.

When the bell rang, Shi Shang packed her textbooks and stationery into her bag and prepared to go out.

He was leaning against the wall, so he had to go through Zhou Haoyu's side to get out.

The aisle was narrow, but the person outside didn't move at all. He slowly stretched out a foot to block Shi Shang's way.

Shi Shang suddenly became angry. Before she could say anything, she heard him say, "Your name is Shi Shang, right? I'm a freshman in the Painting Department of the Academy of Art."

Shi Shang:!

Has modern deception progressed to the point of mind-reading? So advanced?!

The surprise and astonishment on Shi Shang's face were too obvious. Zhou Haoyu raised his phone and explained proudly, "I specifically found the course group and checked the accounts one by one."

He curled his lips and said, "How about it? Do you believe my sincerity? Do you want to add me?"

The class group for this class is in the school's internal software. The accounts are authenticated with real names, and even the avatars are the students' own profile pictures.

But with so many people in the class, who would be able to flip through the pages one by one?

How could this person be like this? Shi Shang suddenly felt creepy and uncomfortable.

He suddenly grabbed the canvas bag, shouted angrily, "No!" and ran away without looking back.

Watching the thin figure disappear from the exit, Zhou Haoran showed a determined smile, "Shi Shang, Shi Shang, what a nice name."

Why does it feel like I've heard it somewhere before?

Tsk, the guys in the swimming team seemed to have mentioned that a guy from the art academy was rescued from drowning, and his last name seemed to be "Shi"?

He opened his phone's address book, found someone's number, and called.

"Hey, Angkor, how are you doing recently?"

"Hey, you're such a forgetful person. I'm Zhou Haoyu. We got together last month."

"Nothing, I met a pretty girl in class today, an art student, she was really pretty... Oh, what about the campus belle or departmental hunk? That was a long time ago. We broke up long ago and handled it cleanly!"

"No need to say more. I just found out today that I like this style."

"I heard that those guys from the swimming team had met before, so I wanted to ask the all-powerful Wu Ge for help. He's a freshman at the Academy of Fine Arts, his name is Shi Shang, and it doesn't matter if he's single or not—hey, why not?!"

On the other side, Wu Fangyue hung up the phone cursing.

"This Zhou Haoyu, the famous playboy and promiscuous king in the sports college, is on my WeChat list. I'm afraid my phone will get an infectious disease."

Wu Fangyue was furious: "If his family and my company didn't have a partnership, I would have deleted it long ago!"

"You actually came to me, bah, am I a pimp?"

He had cursed enough, crossed his legs, and gloated to the people at the desk, "I finally managed to get those guys from the swimming team to quiet down, and now the others are rushing in."

"Old Lu, you better hurry up. If you don't take action now, who knows who will kidnap your little brother."

Lu Tinghe raised his head from the documents, lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, then said lightly, "Shi Shang doesn't like him."

Wu Fangyue: "..."

How come the emperor is not in a hurry?

He was not in a hurry. Wu Fangyue sat back on the sofa and watched the game.

Soon, Lu Tinghe's assistant knocked on the door and came in with new documents.

Lu Tinghe glanced at the document and casually mentioned, "I've read the cooperation proposal submitted by Zhou Technology before, and it has many loopholes. Don't bring such things to me in the future."

"Okay, Mr. Lu." The assistant respectfully took his leave.

Wu Fangyue sneered and shook his head.

The emperor didn't need to worry. He just waved his hand and his subordinates did everything.

Shi Shang told Lin Zhuoran what happened today. Lin Zhuoran looked through the campus forum and was shocked.

"Shang Shang, this Zhou Haoyu is a famous hooker king in the sports college. He has so many bad things going on! It's a good thing you didn't get involved with him too much today."

Shi Shang nodded with lingering fear.

Succubi hate humans with messy private lives the most. Such people have unclean bodies and their souls are so smelly.

Lin Zhuoran puffed out his chest and patted it vigorously: "Shangshang, don't worry. I will accompany you to class from now on. If he dares to bother me, I will scold him to death!"

Shi Shang was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She leaned on her friend's shoulder and pretended to cry: "Ranran, you are so kind."

A few days later, the test results came out and Shi Shang unexpectedly got an "A".

Thinking that this rushed assignment would only pass, he happily sent a message to Lu Tinghe.

[ss: Senior Lu, you got an A on that little body test where you were a model!]

[kitten with arms akimbo.jpg]

[He: Shang Shang truly deserves the title.]

[Kitten clapping.gif]

Its tail was held high, and it circled in front of his eyes, swaying proudly from side to side.

Shi Shang took the little pink heart into her palm, squeezed it gently, and typed a reply.

[ss: Actually, it’s not that bad. Thank you so much for giving me the reference!]

[ss: Senior, are you free next week? I'll treat you to a meal. I'll also bring you two shirts from the dormitory.]

[Rose in mouth.jpg]

Shi Shang planned to give all the gifts that had been placed in the drawer to Lu Tinghe this time.

[Crane: Probably not. I have to go on a business trip to Europe.]

[Kitten crying.jpg]

It’s so far away from home. I won’t be able to see Lu Tinghe for a long time.

The upturned mouth flattened.

[Crane: But I'll be back on Friday.]

The corners of her drooping mouth suddenly lifted up, and Shi Shang began typing furiously on the keyboard.

[ss: Then I wish you all the best in your work and a smooth journey! ][Sprinkle flowers][Sprinkle flowers]

[Send a little heart.jpg]

This reply took a little while.

[Crane: Okay.]

[Received a little heart.jpg]
