Lu Yuwu looked up and saw a handsome young man with delicate features, wearing thin-rimmed glasses and possessing a gentle and refined demeanor.
She recognized him; he was Gu Yan, the head of the arts and culture department of the student union, and quite famous at school.
"Hello, Senior Gu," Lu Yuwu replied, forcing herself to stay alert.
Gu Yan pushed up his glasses a little shyly, his cheeks slightly flushed: "Um, I've always admired you. Your designs are very inspired. I've liked you for a long time. Could you give me a chance to date you?"
Normally, Lu Yuwu would most likely politely refuse.
But at this moment, looking into Gu Yan's sincere and gentle eyes, thinking of Fu Yan's cold gaze, and Jin Ting's smug face, a surge of impulsiveness welled up inside her.
Why should she stay here and be sad?
Why can Fu Yan give up so easily, but she can't start a new life?
Why not find a gentle and considerate boyfriend and forget about that domineering and hurtful guy?
She nodded defiantly, "Okay."
Gu Yan was stunned, seemingly not expecting her to agree so readily, then blushed: "Really? That's great! Lu Yuwu, I will definitely treat you well."
Lu Yuwu forced a smile and offered her hand.
That evening, he updated his WeChat Moments with a photo of them holding hands, but no caption.
Almost at the same time, Gu Yan also officially announced his relationship on his WeChat Moments and tagged Lu Yuwu.
The two posts on WeChat Moments instantly went viral across various social media platforms at University A.
[Holy crap? Lu Yuwu and Gu Yan have officially announced their relationship?!]
[No... I always thought she and Fu Yan were a couple! Fu Yan, the school heartthrob, pursued her so passionately!]
[So, after all this time, was Fu, the school heartthrob, in a one-sided love affair? Or did he get dumped?]
[I knew it! How could Lu Yuwu possibly be interested in an iceberg like Fu Yan? Senior Gu Yan is so gentle!]
[The forum is exploding! The forum is about to explode! This is definitely the biggest plot twist of the year!]
The campus forum was instantly flooded with posts, all sorts of speculation and mockery.
Everyone was stunned, including Luo Luo.
Looking at the photo of Lu Yuwu and Gu Yan holding hands on her phone screen, and recalling Fu Yan's chilling gaze that afternoon, she felt utterly powerless.
This misunderstanding is probably impossible to explain away now.
And at this moment.
In the boys' dormitory.
Zhou Zixuan looked at his phone, then cautiously glanced at the figure on the opposite bed who had been silent since returning in the afternoon, exuding a frighteningly low aura, and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Fu Yan stared at the glaring photo of them holding hands on his phone screen, his eyes filled with malice.
He slammed his phone face down on the table with a loud bang, then pulled the blanket over himself, completely shutting out the outside world.
Seeing this, Zhou Zixuan had no way to cheer him up and could only sigh.
"You didn't even manage to win him over, and he ran off with someone else. What bad luck."
Fu Yan coldly threw off the blanket and stared at him.
Zhou Zixuan raised his hands in surrender.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, alright?"
...
The cafeteria was still bustling with activity.
As Lu Yuwu walked in arm in arm with Gu Yan, she quickly felt that familiar gaze.
Fu Yan sat alone by the window, barely touching the food in front of him.
He looked at her with indifferent, cold, scrutinizing eyes, desperately suppressing his emotions.
Lu Yuwu's eyes met his, and her heart involuntarily clenched for a moment, but she stubbornly turned her head away.
She quickly looked away, as if she hadn't seen him at all, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Lu Yuwu turned her head and said softly to Gu Yan, "Let's go sit over there, there seems to be an empty seat."
She pulled Gu Yan along and walked straight to the corner furthest from Fu Yan, her back view resolute, not even sparing him a glance.
Gu Yan naturally sensed the unease emanating from the window, as well as the subtle, probing glances cast from those around him.
He considerately didn't ask any more questions, but simply pulled out a chair for Lu Yuwu and went to the window to get her favorite dishes.
After sitting down, Lu Yuwu looked at her gentle boyfriend across from her, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke softly.
"Gu Yan, there's something I think I should tell you."
Gu Yan put down his chopsticks and looked at her seriously: "Go on."
“Fu Yan and I…we used to be together.”
Lu Yuwu lowered her eyes, staring at the rice on her plate. "We broke up later, and recently there were some misunderstandings. Maybe he thought I... Anyway, we have nothing to do with each other now."
She looked up again, her eyes filled with honesty and a hint of vulnerability: "I'm serious about agreeing to be with you, and I hope we can try to move forward together."
