Chapter 84
Song Yun lowered his head even further, biting his lip lightly, not feeling that he had done anything wrong.
Wang Lili's two friends continued talking about Huangwu's comics.
"There's a rough guy in there. Don't you think he looks like the champion Xiao Sinian? He has a wolf tail mullet hairstyle, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He's totally my type. It's just too tragic. He's beautiful, strong and tragic. I feel so sorry for him."
"I understand you, sister. At first, I shipped the male lead with him, but I found that he and the female lead were even more compatible. It's a redemption story, oh my god, my favorite..."
Song Yun froze upon hearing this. He gritted his teeth, his hand on the dining table, and with a blank expression, he gripped it tightly with his fingernails.
A squeak interrupted the two girls' conversation.
The two girls looked at each other. Did Wang Lili really like this strange person?
Wang Lili silently lowered her head and ate her meal. She knew why her idol was angry. The new comic's female and male protagonists were based on Jiang You and him, while the handsome, strong, and tragic rough man was clearly her love rival, Xiao Sinian.
The idol didn't expect that the more miserable the character was, the more lovable he became, and he even started shipping the female lead.
Now, her friend is even going so far as to dance in front of the person in question; it's absolutely outrageous.
Moreover, this secret was known only to her, and the online discussions about it were driving her crazy.
"Wang Lili, why aren't you saying anything?" Friend Number One chuckled. "Aren't you a huge fan of shipping the female lead and the rough-looking guy? You even ordered standees and badges for her?"
Wang Lili instantly felt the questioning look in her idol's eyes, and she hurriedly explained:
"Redemption is redemption... It's impossible for her to become a wife. If she becomes a wife, the pure feelings will undergo a qualitative change... If she becomes a wife, they can only lie together at night in the warm bed of desire and love... So redemption can only be husband and wife... Uh, no, I mean, redemption is love... Sorry... I mean, redemption..."
She nervously clutched the phone charm, spitting out the truth, "Shut up, tell me already, you don't want the merchandise anymore, right?"
Fortunately, her friend changed the subject: "Wang Lili, is your phone charm a doll of the male lead from No Man's Land?"
Friend #2: "The official store no longer sells them. I remember you didn't manage to snag one. Did you customize it yourself? It looks so real, just like the original."
Wang Lili: "It's the genuine product; I have inside connections."
"Wang Lili, you're amazing! You actually have inside connections..."
My friend gazed at the doll with envy, reluctant to look away for a long time.
Wang Lili glanced at Jiang You furtively; his connections went far beyond mere insider influence...
Having narrowly escaped disaster, Wang Lili finished her meal and returned to the dormitory with Jiang You to rest.
Another roommate, Bai Qianyue, rarely returns to the dormitory since she got a boyfriend.
“Jiang You, I’m so envious of you,” Wang Lili hugged Jiang You, who was sitting in a chair. “You’re liked by Huangwu and even drawn into his comics.”
Why isn't this person her?
After finishing his meal, Jiang You opened another bag of spicy strips and started eating. Hearing Wang Lili's words, he asked doubtfully, "You're not saying that the new comic's female protagonist is me, are you? How could that be? She's smart and brave, sunny, confident, and kind-hearted. She's completely different from me."
“Doesn’t this mean that in Huangwu’s eyes, you are this kind of person? Believe me, once the female lead appears, I’m 100% sure it’s you,” Wang Lili released Jiang You and sat back in her chair. “I’m even more envious now.”
Jiang You paused in his spicy snack. Was she really that good in Song Yun's eyes?
Okay, her heart is definitely racing, but her criteria for finding a boyfriend is someone from an ordinary family of similar social standing to hers, not someone like Song Yunxia.
Moreover, if possible, she's a homebody who wants to stay single for life and live alone. If she had enough money, she could even stay home forever.

Under a clear blue sky, the weather turned cold. Jiang You put away his short-sleeved shirt, turned out his sweatshirt, and headed to classroom 306 in the central building for class.
While the female teacher was giving a lecture on the basics of education, Professor Wang from the Chinese Department knocked on the door, walked in, and said something to the female teacher on the stage.
The female teacher then looked at the students and asked, "Is Jiang You here?"
Jiang You stood up, looking completely bewildered: "Yes, yes."
Professor Wang smiled kindly: "Jiang, could you please come out for a moment? I have something to tell you."
"Oh, okay," Jiang You felt a little uneasy. What could she possibly need from a nobody in the Chinese department?
After telling Song Yun to follow, she mechanically walked out of the classroom, ignoring the gazes of everyone there.
"Professor Wang, what's up?"
"Haha, don't be nervous. It's just that someone from above came to inspect and wanted to find a classmate to ask about the situation. They randomly picked Jiang from our Chinese Department."
Professor Wang was tall and rather thin, with a few strands of white hair mixed in with his black hair due to his age. He was talking casually when suddenly his tone became a bit serious: "Little Jiang, you know what to say, right?"
"Ah, um," Jiang You nodded quickly, "The school is very good, to be honest..."
Professor Wang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Xiao Jiang. You're a sophomore now, and you'll be doing an internship in your junior year, right? The junior high school next door has a few special admission spots. I think you're very qualified, so I put your name on the list. You can try it out at the end of next semester."
Isn't that a prestigious private school?
Jiang You never thought she would stay in a big city. She remembered this opportunity; the students at the top were fighting tooth and nail for it, while the students at the bottom knew they had no chance and accepted it calmly.
Even the most naive girl would understand how good this opportunity was; even the most clueless girl would know that the person in front of her was going to give her a hard time and then offer her a sweet treat.
All I can say is that this time, a really high-ranking official has come.
Jiang You nodded. He should have been flattering Wang at this moment, but he had completely forgotten how to speak with high emotional intelligence, as he had saved in his short video collection. He awkwardly said, "Thank you, Professor Wang, thank you, Professor Wang."
“I’ve given you two days off. These two days, you’ll be showing the school around with the leaders. If they ask you questions and you don’t know the answer, just say you don’t know. You’re a student, they won’t make things too difficult for you,” Professor Wang said, leading the girl out of the central building and towards the principal’s office.
Jiang You nodded behind him.
