Chapter Thirty-Two: Fabrication
What is this all about...? This sounds like a lie. She just happened to stumble upon Xia Yan, someone with a different aesthetic sense. Could it be another one?
She didn't need to understand Lu Shi'an; judging from his outward behavior, she knew he liked tall, beautiful, and sexy older women.
Do you believe Lu Shi'an likes her? You might as well believe she's Qin Shi Huang.
"You guys don't actually believe his nonsense, do you?" Jiang You helplessly spread his hands and said, "Look at me, why would a rich and handsome guy like me?"
The girl sat on the chair, her features plain and unremarkable, like a glass of water. She wore a common low ponytail. As for her temperament? Her shoulders were hunched inward, showing a lack of confidence. As for her intelligence? So-so.
They are just ordinary people among the masses, the most mediocre and unremarkable individuals.
Wang Lili and Bai Qianyue scanned Jiang You from head to toe. It wasn't that they looked down on her; to be honest, she just seemed completely unremarkable.
She lacked Cheng Pandi's academic excellence, Wang Lili's family background, and Bai Qianyue's temperament, appearance, and confidence.
How could someone like that possibly attract a handsome guy like Lu Shi'an?
Do you think a rich, beautiful woman would like an ordinary, poor guy who always stays in his dorm and has no special characteristics?
The two girls had already believed that Lu Shi'an was lying to them. Bai Qianyue stomped her foot lightly, her finely trimmed eyebrows furrowing: "This person is really wicked."
Jiang You watched, secretly relieved. Cheng Pandi, who had been reading in the corner without saying a word, suddenly spoke up: "Jiang You, are you and Xia Yan very familiar?"
These words were like a wake-up call. Wang Lili and Bai Qianyue realized that, yes, whether it was Lu Shi'an or Jiang You, Xia Yan's words conveyed a strong sense of incongruity in the story.
If Lu Shi'an's statement is false, then Jiang You is also lying.
As expected of a top student, Jiang You's heart skipped a beat. He had originally thought that he would no longer have a deep connection with Xia Yan and did not want to be the subject of gossip. He thought it was better to avoid trouble and subconsciously kept it a secret.
Who knew so many things would happen next?
Seeing Jiang You's guilty expression, Wang Lili changed the subject, saying, "By the way, did you know? The international school next to our school is holding a sports meet in four days."
Bai Qianyue wasn't stupid. At first, they could say they were gossiping when they asked Jiang You, but now it was obvious he didn't want to talk about it. Asking again would be crossing the line.
If she doesn't want to talk about it, she doesn't have to. She's not so lacking in emotional intelligence. She sat back down and asked, puzzled, "They hold it every year, why are they so excited?"
Qingfeng International School holds this event every year and also invites students from Tengchong Normal School to attend.
Wang Lili: "This time is different, this time Xiao Sinian is here."
Xiao Ssu-nien is the youngest Olympic champion in the swimming team, the first Chinese swimmer to achieve a Grand Slam at the age of 15, and a world record and Olympic record holder.
Aside from relay races, championships are practically his for the taking.
Most importantly, he's handsome, tall, and strong with a fantastic physique. Last year, his airport photos went viral, showing his muscles filling out a black polo shirt and highlighting his bulging chest muscles, exuding a powerful masculine charisma that practically leaped off the screen.
Xiao Sinian's coach posted a video of him doing core training, which made people's hearts ache.
Several popular comments under the video read: "My pelvis is trembling."
"This really hurts."
"It'll probably send you flying!"
Girls who like him are all drooling over his face and his body, but unfortunately there are too few leaked photos, it's not enough!
"What, are you interested now?" Wang Lili put her elbow on Bai Qianyue's shoulder, raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Seeing that they had shifted their attention, Jiang You breathed a sigh of relief. Then, her phone rang. She glanced at it instinctively and saw that it was a message from Lu Shi'an.
Lu Shi'an: [Have you gone back to the dorm? Xia asked me to bring you something, but when I went to look for you, you weren't there, so I gave it to your roommate.]
Well, he still dares to send messages. Jiang You watched Wang Lili and Bai Qianyue chatting so intently that he quietly left the dormitory and went to the playground without disturbing them.
Cheng Pandi pursed her lips and continued reading, her head bowed. Only through studying could she escape her family of origin; only through studying could she become better, and only then...
At eight o'clock in the evening, the brightly lit playground was bustling with activity. Some students returning to school were playing basketball on the courts, some best friends were strolling around the playground hand in hand, gossiping, and some couples were whispering sweet nothings...
Jiang You found a few people on the steps in the playground and sat down before sending a message to Lu Shi'an, asking what he was up to.
In the towering luxury apartment, neon lights from outside shine through the glass curtain wall into the room.
Lu Shi'an sat lazily cross-legged on the gaming chair, tilting his head back while wearing headphones.
With his left elbow resting on the table and his lips supported by his thumb, his clear brown eyes stared at the computer screen, while his right hand pressed the keyboard, absentmindedly playing a game.
Ding-dong, the phone lying to the side lit up.
He glanced casually and saw that the girl had replied to his message; his bored expression vanished.
"You guys play, I'm logging off."
Please don't cry for me: "Holy crap, Lu Shi'an, what are you doing? This isn't a single-player game, what the hell are you doing? I'm playing with a girl..."
As I took off my headphones, I was completely shut out from the pitiful sound of "Please don't cry for me."
Lu Shi'an picked up his phone and saw the question the girl had asked him. He could almost picture her bewildered expression when her roommates asked her the same question back in the dorm. He chuckled softly.
Jiang You sat on the steps for only a few seconds before the other party sent a voice message. She opened it, and a clear, slightly magnetic voice came through:
"I was just embellishing your fabrications. What, are you saying that only officials are allowed to set fires, while ordinary people are forbidden to light lamps?"
