Yuan Qiang entered the campus, dressed casually and wearing sunglasses.

A tall guy walking around campus is incredibly eye-catching.

When he arrived at Mao Xiangling's dormitory building, he found the dormitory supervisor and learned that she had not finished class yet and he would have to wait for another half hour.

Yuan Qiang found a stone step under the tree and sat down. He casually plucked a blade of grass, put it in his mouth, looked at it from side to side, and waited for Mao Xiangling to return.

Students passing by would glance at him; although they couldn't see his eyes clearly, his demeanor and appearance were undeniably handsome.

Since Mao Xiangling started wearing the bracelet, her sleep has gradually improved.

Especially after hanging Yuan Qiang's clothes next to him, I felt much more at ease.

I slept soundly through the night for several days in a row.

Later, she specifically sought out an older teacher to ask if there had been any fires or deaths in the girls' dormitory building in the past.

It was later confirmed that it was purely fictional.

The thought that she had been terrified of ghosts because of past rumors made Mao Xiangling laugh.

In this modern society, a college student still believes in ghost stories and was so frightened that he couldn't sleep all night.

She thoroughly cleaned the dormitory, inside and out, and decorated it with posters and streamers.

The room was instantly filled with joy. She bought a pot of gardenias and placed it on the windowsill, so that the dormitory was filled with a faint fragrance every day.

After class, Mao Xiangling walked back to her dormitory.

Seeing that she was alright again, Jiang Ting came over and asked, feigning concern:

"Xiangling, I see your dark circles are gone. You've been sleeping well lately."

Mao Xiangling really didn't want to pay any attention to her. Why was Jiang Ting like a leech, always sticking to her? It was just because she always outperformed Jiang Ting in exams and got scholarships.

With such a good family background, why does she always have to be so self-deprecating?

"It's alright, I'll just have to sleep here."

"That's me. Don't listen to the rumors about dead people. So what if someone died?"

"It can't come back to life and harm you. Besides, we've all taken anatomy classes. A dead person is just a corpse, like a dead cat or dog; they can't move."

Jiang Pei's words reminded her of her first anatomy class, where the students were both excited and scared.

The excitement comes from seeing a real corpse, while the fear stems from the fact that it is, after all, a dead person, a corpse of the same species as oneself.

"Jiang Ting, don't you have anything else to do after class? Why are you circling around me?"

"I'm just going back to the dorm to have dinner at the cafeteria later. Why is this road yours? You can walk on it, but I can't?"

"Jiang Ting, we're not three-year-olds anymore. You know perfectly well what you mean by saying these things to me. I don't need to say it out loud in front of everyone."

"Didn't you find a military officer as your girlfriend? Spend more time with her instead of taking every opportunity to be sarcastic and sarcastic with me."

Jiang Ting, seeing that Mao Xiangling had seen through her, pretended to be naive and said:

"You really are ungrateful. As a classmate, I was just trying to show you some concern, and you made me sound like this. No wonder no one wants to be in the same dorm as you."

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted? We pay the same tuition, but I'm staying in a single room while you're staying in a triple room. In the end, I'm the one who benefits."

Jiang Pei always came out on the losing end, but she just couldn't stand Mao Xiangling's smugness. Why was she so good at everything?

"By the way, didn't all the soldiers at the military base call you 'sister-in-law' last time? Why don't you bring your middle-aged husband out sometime so we can meet him and broaden our horizons?"

Jiang Ting's words piqued the interest of her classmates, who indeed wanted to know who Mao Xiangling's older brother was.

He's not some middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, is he?

"That's right, I asked you for ages last time, but you wouldn't tell me. Let's meet sometime."

"Don't hide it away, bring it out so the classmates can get to know it. Jiang Pei found an officer, and you found one too, so at least let us see them."

"That's right. Right now, you two are the only classmates whose boyfriends are soldiers. Don't treat them like precious treasures and not let anyone see them. We're not going to steal them from you."

Jiang Pei was pleased to hear her classmates chattering and making a fuss. She thought to herself, "Mao Xiangling, let's see how you handle this."

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys shouldn't drag me into this, Xiangling. My officer is so busy with work that I hardly ever see him."

We only talk on the phone all day. If I have some free time at work, I'll definitely bring him over so you can all meet him. I just wonder what's going on with Xiangling's boyfriend.

Mao Xiangling rolled her eyes inwardly.

"I don't have a boyfriend. You all misunderstood back then. If you want to see Jiang Pei, then go ahead and do so!"

"Hey, I saw you with my own eyes as you went to deliver clothes to him, and you washed them really clean. You wouldn't do that if you weren't his boyfriend."

"So, your classmates were right after all? You married an older, married man, and you're no longer presentable."

"Jiang Pei, do you know that some things can be said carelessly, and some things cannot be said carelessly? This concerns my reputation."

Mao Xiangling was a little angry after hearing Jiang Pei's words. You can't joke like that. What do you mean by being a mistress and interfering in someone else's marriage?

What's she thinking about all day? It's really disgusting.

"Since you value your reputation so much, then bring it out and let me prove it. All the classmates are saying this, so how come it's me talking nonsense?"

You did something shameful, and you're still afraid of what others will say? Yesterday, someone passed by your dorm and saw your military uniform hanging by your bed. What's wrong? Are you so desperate for a man?

"You even borrowed clothes? Do you sleep in them at night?"

Jiang Pei got excited and started shouting loudly. Her classmates who were leaving get out of class at the same time were all wide-eyed when they heard this, and even students from other classes were whispering among themselves.

"Oh my god, is this for real? Xiangling is that weird?"

"Oh, really? That's kind of disgusting."

"Did she really become the other woman?"

"Isn't that cheating? I heard about other classes having teachers and students having affairs just the other day, I didn't expect it to happen in our class too."

"Is it really true that you can know a person's face but not their heart?"

"She's such a good student, I never expected her private life to be like this? No wonder she moved out to have her own room, who would want to live with her like this?"

Mao Xiangling felt extremely disgusted upon hearing this; they were truly a bunch of gossipy old women.

“I don’t need to explain to you or anyone else. Jiang Pei, who do you think you are? Do I need to prove anything to you? Do I need to go to the police station to get a certificate for you to hang by your bedside?”

After Mao Xiangling finished speaking, she turned her head and quickened her pace. She really didn't want to pay any attention to this crazy woman.

“Mao Xiangling, if you’re feeling guilty, just say so. There’s no need to do this. All the classmates are watching. In the end, you’ll be the one who embarrasses yourself.”

Jiang Pei called out from behind.

Yuan Qiang heard Mao Xiangling's name while he was sitting down; she had returned after class.

He hurriedly got up, walked out from under the big tree, and stood in front of Mao Xiangling and her group.
