Chapter 2: Is he a jerk? The school heartthrob even tries his best to pick up trash...
Office of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Counselor Zhang Xianfu was overwhelmed with work at his desk piled high with documents.
The door was open, and Lin Jiashu peeked inside.
"Teacher Zhang, is there something you need?"
As soon as Zhang Xian saw him, he immediately put on a smile.
"Come in first."
There are still a few scholarship spots left this year. Many students who submitted their applications did not meet the selection criteria, and he was having a hard time figuring it out. Just a dozen minutes ago, Gu Zeming suddenly sent him a message asking if he needed any help and recommended a classmate named "Lin Jiashu".
When Zhang Xian saw that Lin Jiashu's various indicators met the selection criteria, how could he not be happy?
Moreover, the freshmen these days are enthusiastic and proactive, always willing to help the teachers, far more so than those seasoned seniors. The more I look at Lin Jiashu, the more I like him.
As Lin Jiashu approached, Zhang Xian casually handed him a stack of forms. "Just fill them out according to your senior Gu's format. I will submit the materials according to the procedure. Whether you can be selected depends on the school. This year, our college has 26 scholarship slots. Work hard and try to get a full scholarship like your senior Gu in the future."
Lin Jiashu was taken aback at first, and then unconsciously straightened his back.
Teacher Zhang actually values him so much that he even compares him to a genius like Gu Zeming.
You should know that Gu Zeming is the role model for many people in their college. Even his teammates on the basketball team, who are known for their carefree attitude, will willingly and politely call him "senior" when they see him.
Lin Jiashu flipped through Gu Zeming's information and was deeply hurt by the sight of the max-level expert's grades and overall qualities.
Damn, that's awesome.
Lin Jiashu felt envious and jealous for a while, but then she couldn't help but think that although Gu Zeming was very powerful, he was a widow and didn't have a girlfriend as good and beautiful as Jiang Chuyu. Suddenly, she felt better.
After filling out the form and assisting Zhang Xian in reviewing the documents, Lin Jiashu couldn't wait to take out his phone and call Jiang Chuyu as soon as he came out of the office.
At this moment, Jiang Chuyu was nestled in bed, browsing the school forum on her computer screen.
Last year, their dormitory installed a 5G network, and the internet speed was incredibly fast. Typing "Gu Zeming" into the search box immediately brought up a bunch of posts.
Jiang Chuyu held her breath and clicked on each post to check out the gossip about him. After reading them all, she searched for his photos.
He took all the photos; he looks handsome from every angle. He looks handsome picking up trash, playing the piano, and even more so in a uniform.
Such a handsome person is very poor. He works three jobs and occasionally has to collect garbage to sell for money. It's really pitiful.
Jiang Chuyu randomly opened a photo and zoomed in on his face.
Despite his expressionless face and vacant, indifferent eyes, he possessed an undeniably powerful aura. This man's charisma far surpassed his physical appearance; he was truly exceptional.
Jiang Chuyu sighed that she was such a shrew before, deaf and blind, such an extreme case, and she only realized it today!
Jiang Chuyu raised her hand, her fingertips gliding over Gu Zeming's eyebrows, nose, and lips... She lightly tapped his thin, pale red lips twice. Suddenly, her phone rang. She guiltily withdrew her hand, paused for a second, and then picked up her phone.
My roommate was playing King of Glory on voice chat, making a lot of noise, and occasionally uttering profanities like "Holy shit" or "You XX" that insulted the other person's family history.
Jiang Chuyu put on her headphones and went to the balcony.
As soon as I swiped to answer, Lin Jiashu's voice came through.
"Chu Yu." His voice was full of confidence and boundless anticipation for the future. "Let's make up. I'll treat you very, very well from now on."
Jiang Chuyu breathed a slight sigh of relief and calmly said to him, "When I talked to you about breaking up last week, you clearly agreed, but you still told me to get lost..."
"That was all said in anger, can't you tell?" Lin Jiashu said angrily and unreasonably, "I've changed my mind! Chu Yu, are you jealous? There's really nothing between me and my senior. That day was just acting. She's just an actress. I only like you. I don't want anyone else but you..."
Jiang Chuyu interrupted him, saying emotionlessly, "It's not because of that."
"Then why is that?"
Jiang Chuyu remained silent for a moment, then sighed.
"A short pain is worse than a long one," she said almost cruelly. "Everything has a second chance. There's always a chance that a fake relationship will become real. The fact that you asked your senior to act with you means you don't dislike being close to her. If you don't dislike her, there's a possibility that you like her. But when you forcibly kissed me today, I felt nothing. I even felt so bad that I wanted to slap you."
"To put it simply, I don't love you anymore, and I don't desire your body anymore, understand?"
Lin Jiashu's breath hitched, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head.
Those words seemed to have hurt his pride. He gritted his teeth and angrily cursed, "Jiang Chuyu, are you sick in the head?"
After he finished cursing, he suddenly realized something and froze.
Jiang Chuyu is indeed sick.
He knew about her illness when he agreed to be with her. He had an arrogant attitude, believing he could cure her, but in just three months, he became deeply infatuated, while she turned away and left him heartbroken.
He was just too proud to admit defeat.
Lin Jiashu clenched his fist and apologized to her, "I'm sorry, I..."
"It's okay." Jiang Chuyu was like a doll without an emotion switch, her voice still gentle and forgiving. "It's my fault, let's break up."
At this point, it's impossible to tell who's right and who's wrong. She no longer has the energy to maintain the relationship or meet his expectations of a girlfriend; even kissing feels painful.
After a long while, she heard a soft "Okay" from the other end of the phone.
it's all over.
After hanging up the phone and walking back to the room, Lin Yun and her friends were celebrating with high-fives after winning a game.
Jiang Chuyu walked past them listlessly.
Shi Qing, who was in the upper bunk, called out to her: "Chu Yu."
Jiang Chuyu took off her headphones and looked up.
Shi Qing: "Tomorrow our department is having a joint event with the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Could you ask Jia Shu to bring his roommates along?"
Jiang Chuyu thought for a moment and then confessed, "I broke up with him."
"Oh my god!" Shi Qing jumped out of bed. "When did this happen? Jia Shu is a very nice person, why did they have to break up?"
Lin Yun and Caiyan were planning to start the next game, but upon hearing this, they both turned to look at Jiang Chuyu.
Jiang Chuyu sat back down in front of the computer, her tone indifferent, "It's not suitable, there's no reason why."
Lin Yun smiled knowingly, "Our Jiang Chuyu has mediocre grades and is listless in everything she does, but she has the potential to be a bad girl."
How is parting amicable bad?
Jiang Chuyu couldn't explain it to her and was too lazy to explain. She closed the image, opened her email, and sent a job offer to Gu Zeming's account.
The streetwear studio where the netizen works is in dire need of male models. The job is easy and the pay is high. Applicants are required to have a good physique and good looks. Jiang Chuyu immediately thought of Gu Zeming.
He works incredibly hard even when picking up trash; he's practically unbeatable at any other job! It's definitely not because she wanted to see a picture of his abs!
Shi Qing was still lamenting her relationship with Lin Jiashu, and then she went on and on, saying, "I can see that Jiashu likes you a lot. Is there any problem that can't be solved except by breaking up? You can't always wait until someone loves you to death before abandoning them. You'll be punished by heaven for doing that."
Jiang Chuyu closed her laptop and said indifferently, "I am guilty, so let me die."
However, before she dies, she must get close to Gu Zeming and kick his amazing back twice, otherwise, she will definitely die with regrets.
Jiang Chuyu is made of iron; no amount of persuasion can change her mind.
Shi Qing had no way to deal with her, so she changed the subject. "Are you still going to the social event tomorrow?"
The fact that Jiang Chuyu and Lin Jiashu were dating was something most students in both colleges knew. Shi Qing's original intention was to invite them to the social event to show off their love, to make the single students jealous, and to contribute to the college's dating rate. However, things didn't go as planned, and they broke up ahead of schedule!
Given the current situation, Shi Qing felt it would be better if Jiang Chuyu didn't show up, to avoid causing any major uproar.
Jiang Chuyu didn't really want to go either, and was about to refuse when Lin Yun interjected, "I remember... Gu Zeming is in the Aerospace Engineering Student Union, he'll definitely be there, right?"
Shi Qing nodded: "He paid for it."
Jiang Chuyu immediately changed her mind and silently raised her hand.
"I'll go too."
Lin Yun sneered, "Didn't you just die?"
Jiang Chuyu whispered, "I lived briefly again."

Shower room in the men's dormitory.
Gu Zeming stood with his back to the door, the water from the showerhead spraying out like a sudden rain, pattering against his back and then meandering down his skin like countless tiny kisses.
With his eyes closed, images kept flashing before his eyes in the darkness.
His reason snapped, and he tilted his head back, his Adam's apple bobbing.
A few minutes later, the steam in the bathroom became even thicker, and the mirror was already blurry.
Gu Zeming reached out and turned off the tap, and the sound of water stopped abruptly, replaced by the wailing of the junior students in the next dormitory.
"Scumbag woman!"
"I must be stupid to like her!"
"Please don't break up."
"Jiang Chuyu, I love you so much..."
Gu Zeming pushed open the bathroom door, his figure, enveloped in steam, stepped out, walked to the table, and casually picked up a can of soda.
"Damn it!" Liang Shu, who shared a dorm room with Lin Jiashu, was annoyed by the noise from next door and cursed under his breath, "That son of a bitch Lin Jiashu, he's like a madman when he's in love. He gets drunk and howls like a banshee in the middle of the night. I can't stand it!"
He might be criticizing him, but he's genuinely jealous. Why isn't there a pretty girl to break his heart?
Liang Shu scratched his hair in frustration and looked at his roommate next to him. Gu Zeming hooked his fingertip on the pull ring, and with a soft "hiss," dense bubbles immediately rose to the surface.
He stood by the table, slowly sipping his soda. His eyes were dark and unfathomable, concealing all his emotions and making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Liang Shu couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what happened between Lin Jiashu and his girlfriend?"
Gu Zeming's eyelashes fluttered, his expression silent, his thin lips parted slightly, "I don't know, but..." His movements suddenly froze, a kind of morbid light flickering in his eyes, like a faint, silent burning ember. "She's no longer my girlfriend."
“That’s true.” Liang Shu threw down his homework in annoyance. “That girl is quite cunning. Lin Jiashu is too stupid to be a match for her. It’s better that they broke up. It’ll save us a lot of trouble.”
Gu Zeming lowered his eyes, remained silent, and gently stroked the edge of the jar with the pad of his thumb.
After a while, Lin Jiashu gradually fell silent.
Liang Shu said to him, "By the way, I sent the group assignment to your email. Take a look and see if it's okay. Give me a definite answer."
"Um."
Gu Zeming turned on his computer, helped Liang review the group assignments, and also dealt with recent emails.
The latest email is a job posting from an unknown account.
Gu Zeming clicked on it.
The work hours are incorrect, the work location is incorrect, the job description is incorrect...
His gaze lingered on the words "male model in boxer shorts," he raised an eyebrow, and exited the email.
It's not important, there's no need to reply.
