The snow was still falling, marking the first snowfall of winter in Jiangqi City.
The soybean-sized snowflakes landed on the earth, making Chang Ming University even more tranquil. The faces of the passersby were flushed red from the cold wind.
After finishing his classes and meals, Lu Nanchen returned to the staff dormitory early. His desk was neatly stacked with books and a thermal cup. Steam was rising from the open cup, creating a warm atmosphere.
Several notes were made in black ink on the pages of his books, all carefully noted.
Lu Nanchen sat at the desk, his spine erect. One hand rested on the desk while the other held a pen. His mobile phone was placed beside him.
His gaze lingered on one spot as he looked intently and thoughtfully at the subsequent lines.
A few minutes later, Lu Nanchen picked up his mobile phone and opened WeChat. The red dot indicating new messages was increasing each day. Having just cleared a ’99+’ notification, he noticed it had already risen to ’39’. After staring blankly at the screen for a moment, he added a new status update.
Married.
After looking at those two words on the screen for a few minutes, Lu Nanchen switched off the screen, put the phone back down, and went back to reading and taking notes.
...
The campus seemed tranquil on the surface, but in the online chat groups, rumors and gossip were running rampant.
"Case solved! The ring on Teacher Lu’s hand is a wedding ring. And the bride is Yu Ting from the third computer science class." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Damn, seriously? Teacher Lu has only been at this school for a little over three months, and he’s already gotten married? That’s so fast? Doesn’t seem like something he would do."
"I was also surprised, but Teacher Lu seems to really care about Yu Ting. I saw everything with my own eyes. Ah, I’m so jealous!"
Seeing one solid piece of evidence after another, most people chose to believe it. Some even shipped the cool, independent woman and the self-disciplined teacher, the mental picture being quite appealing.
...
"Wasn’t it said before that teacher Lu and Shen Ruchu, the president of Southwest Entertainment, were having an affair? Even luxury cars have been delivered to the staff dormitory."
The discussions were diverse, everyone offered different viewpoints.
"Yeah, Yu Ting isn’t someone who could afford such a luxury car."
"Exactly."
"Could it be that Yu Ting was cheated on? Or did Teacher Lu have an extramarital affair?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately equated Lu Nanchen with a scoundrel. Some overzealous fans of Lu Nanchen who disliked Yu Ting quickly jumped out to refute.
"Impossible, Teacher Lu is undoubtedly not that kind of person. Maybe Yu Ting tricked him into marriage, how else could they get married so quickly..."
"...A woman who is 26 years old being tricked into marriage, that’s absurd. Do you think everyone is as naive as you?"
"You!"
...
Time slipped away in the flurry of the winter snow, and soon it was the beginning of January. With the arrival of the New Year, Director Sun Lei’s movie was officially released. In just a few days, the movie’s box office rose steadily, receiving rave reviews. As the box office broke through one billion and two billion, VG Company profited greatly, somewhat salvaging their external reputation and public opinion.
Song Zhan was ecstatic. He had been monitoring the box office data for three days straight, always sharing the good news with Yu Ting whenever there was a new development.
Consequently, Wei Qinghe’s fame - who played the fourth male lead - also grew, and he was known by more and more viewers, which was good news indeed.
"Director Sun Lei’s new film is really good. It’s a fresh take on an old concept, and there are plenty of plot twists. Although the beginning was a bit slow, the climax scenes made up for it."
"Right, right."
...
"Did you notice the actor who played the sixth prince... in several scenes his laughter seemed so stiff... it completely took me out of the film."
