Chapter Thirty-One: The Turbulent Forum



The forum at Haishan University was flooded with messages!

A freshly posted, still incredibly popular, post was highlighted in red by the forum administrators and then prominently displayed. This post, which received special attention from the backend management, was pushed to all registered forum users via countless fiber optic cables buried underground. Alumni of Haishan University all over the world would see this post the moment they opened the client.

The administrators of the Haishan University forum are the News Department, beloved by countless gossip enthusiasts on campus. These high-minded news elites are known for their ability to "control public opinion and command Haishan," and ordinary posts rarely receive their attention. Therefore, everyone is curious: what kind of exceptional post would garner such special treatment from the News Department?

The title doesn't reveal much; it's just a typical gossip post: "A man, a woman, a girl."

Could this be a story of a shotgun wedding? People in front of the screen wondered, some clicking their mice, others clicking directly, and opened the post.

The first thing you see after opening it is a long string of text—

"He and she met in the season of swirling snowflakes, like a ray of sunshine illuminating the winter fields, melting the ice and snow, and bringing forth the splendor of spring. The air, though chilling as the stars, was imbued with the warmth of newly blossoming flowers; everything was so beautiful—a beautiful encounter, a beautiful season—"

"I thought this would be a romantic story, like the moonlight illuminating the west chamber. But I never imagined it would be such a desolate wound, with tears flooding Chang'an. The appearance of yet another woman made the love affair tragic. The flowers planted by the old lover bloomed in the courtyard of the new lover."

Holy crap...

Everyone involuntarily shouted those two words in their hearts: What the hell is this long, pretentious, and pointless passage? It doesn't seem to have any emotional effect at all...

Some busybodies immediately pointed out that this article must have been written by someone from the literary society! Its sentiment is excessive, its writing is ornate; its tone is weak, its language is decadent—only a young, literary girl could have written it!

Some countered that this was not the case. They argued that members of the literary society mostly preferred Western literature, were prone to open-mouthed and closed-mouthed discussions, and viewed Eastern literature as dross. How could they possibly be versed in such subtle language and deeply understand the essence of the ancients?

The onlookers burst into laughter. What nonsense are you spouting, all that illegible banter? What do you mean by "deeply in harmony with the ancients"? It's more like "deeply in harmony with Xiao Si's style"! Hahahaha—

The two people upstairs were deeply ashamed.

Of course, some impatient people don't have time to read this, like those in engineering schools... They just skip this text at a glance, swipe their fingers to the next page—

Wow!

There is information!

Those were two sets of pictures, both taken in the school cafeteria. The people in the photos were a man and a woman, but the woman was different in both sets, while the man was the same…

The first set of photos was taken in Cafeteria No. 2. The male and female protagonists sit facing each other, their plates clearly showing a couple's meal. They talk at times, remain silent at others, and sometimes gaze "affectionately" into each other's eyes—everything is conveyed in their eyes…

The second set of photos was taken at Louis Restaurant. The man was still the same man, but the mature and composed female protagonist had been replaced by a vibrant and youthful female student. They sat there chatting and laughing, seemingly enjoying a very pleasant atmosphere. In the end, they even couldn't help but "hold hands" at the table...

Countless boys who saw this were filled with righteous indignation! They expressed deep disdain, and... envy, for the man in the photo...

Both photos are exquisitely shot, capturing the essence perfectly. The first set emphasizes the "deeply affectionate" gaze between the male and female protagonists, while the second set even utilizes the surrounding environment, such as the towering dome of the Louis Restaurant depicting "The Last Supper." The couple holding hands beneath this beautiful dome creates an exquisitely beautiful scene…

Some busybodies have concluded that these two sets of photos must have been taken by the president of the school's photography club, and that no one else could possess such exquisite skill...

Then some people mocked it, saying that it doesn't matter who wrote the text or who took the photos! What matters is the content of the text and photos! Compared to sensational content, the question of who the original author is is utterly insignificant!

Unsolved mystery enthusiasts claim that all doubts will be explained, all secrets will be revealed, and all questions will be answered, so this matter is no exception!

Guided by this principle, the answer then emerged—

The female protagonist in the first set of photos is undoubtedly Su Wuyu, the beautiful and aloof teacher at Haishan University, who is also the goddess that countless male students at Haishan dream of; while the female protagonist in the second set of photos is Tang Luoluo, one of the newly crowned campus beauties of Haishan University and the princess whom countless knights swear to protect at all costs!

As for the only male protagonist in the two sets of photos, without a doubt, it is Duanmu Ci, the most popular male god teacher at Haishan University recently!

The result broke the hearts of countless people. Male students were heartbroken for Su Wuyu and Tang Luoluo, while female students were saddened by Teacher Duanmu's passing.

Each has their own sorrow, each has their own suffering...

Actually, all of this is nonsense...

To everyone, Professor Duanmu is a Harvard graduate, incredibly handsome, and rumored to be wealthy. If he were to pick just one rose, no one would object; after all, he has the right! They'd even accept it! But why did you take them all?! There were only so many good ones, and you took them all—what are we supposed to do?!

Okay, even if Teacher Duanmu doesn't pick these roses, they might not be ours... but at least we'd have something to look forward to! Teacher Duanmu isn't even giving us a chance to fantasize in bed!
