"Isn't that the same thing? Anyway, we just can't make our relationship public, which is really annoying."
“Sure, Mengmeng, there’s even a love confession left for you here,” Wang Xinghe said, pointing to the red-lacquered pillar on the pavilion.
"Where? Let me see."
Instead of going to the principal's office immediately, the two went to a rockery pavilion. The entire Zijing campus was very distinctive, featuring ancient Chinese architecture that exuded Chinese beauty, quite different from Wang Xinghe's Western aesthetics of the capital's elite.
Liu Qingmeng told Wang Xinghe that this was her favorite place to come when she was resting, and she insisted on bringing Wang Xinghe here to see it.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xinghe spotted the confession here at a glance. Perhaps the person confessing knew that Liu Qingmeng liked to come here, so they wrote it here on purpose.
"Hey, there's one on this pillar too!"
"They have it on this side too!"
"There are so many, you haven't seen any of them?"
"If you hadn't told me, I probably wouldn't have noticed. How come there are so many?"
At a glance, there are probably more than a dozen, and many of them are illegible due to the passage of time. It's unclear whether they were written as a confession to Liu Qingmeng.
"Uh! Uh!"
"I've been thinking about it, and it seems there's nothing I particularly like, except for you!"
"And this last one, do you know why I always catch colds? Because I have no resistance to you!"
"Ugh! Shut up! You're not allowed to say another word! These lines are so cringeworthy! Who wrote this anyway?"
"Look, isn't there a name here? Liu Zhiyan, Class 3, Grade 22."
"Each one has a name and contact information."
"Alright, alright, let's go. There's nothing to see here, and this is just too awkward."
Liu Qingmeng's expression became uneasy. If there were a crack in the ground, she might choose to crawl into it. Who wrote this? If they dared to tell her to her face, she would definitely teach them a lesson!
"No, Mengmeng, these words are quite interesting. Let's take another look and learn from them."
"Learn what?! If you dare say something so corny to me, I'm ignoring you!"
"Alright, alright, let's go see your principal."
Liu Qingmeng decided to suggest to the principal later that the pillars on the pavilion be repainted to destroy the evidence of the crime, so that when Wang Xinghe brought it up again, there would be no way to prove it.
The principal's office was also designed in the style of ancient Chinese architecture. In front of the square mahogany desk, Principal He looked around but couldn't see Liu Qingmeng.
"This isn't right. Director Zhu just said they were already in my office. It's been so long, they should have arrived by now. Could they have already left?"
"Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da! Principal He, we're here."
"Come, come, Liu Qingmeng, I've finally been waiting for you!"
"This is the bonus that's been paid to you. You know, it's not a lot of money, but it's a recognition of your hard work over the past three years. You didn't come when we asked you to."
"Principal He, I don't like this kind of occasion."
"Alright, take it."
"Wang Xinghe, please step out for a moment. I have something to discuss with Principal He."
"say what?"
"You can go out now."
Wang Xinghe walked out silently.
"Principal He, I'll leave this money to you. Could you please help me repaint the red paint off the pillars of the pavilion?"
"That pavilion? What happened to the pavilion's pillars?"
"I just noticed some annoying messages on it that I don't want to see anymore, so I'll leave this money to you guys to swipe it for me."
"Okay, I'll let the school's logistics department know. You can take the money; it's nothing."
"Is there anything else? Liu, you are an outstanding alumnus of our school. If you have any requests, the school can fulfill them."
"Keep an eye on my sister. She probably has a lot of male classmates pursuing her, so I absolutely can't let her start dating too early."
"Don't worry about Liu, I will definitely keep an eye on things."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"Why don't we have a meal here before we leave?"
"No need, my sister and the others are still waiting, so I won't trouble the principal."
"Okay, come visit the school more often when you have time!"
I think it definitely will.
Principal He saw Liu Qingmeng out the door and saw Wang Xinghe standing at the door.
"Wang, I don't have much time to chat with you today. Another day, I'll treat you. I have some questions to ask you."
"Principal He, you're too kind. I wouldn't call it asking for advice. My study methods are all in the interview video, so I have nothing more to say."
"We held a special meeting to review that interview video. Thank you for your generosity."
"Of course, Principal He, we'll be going now."
"Wait a minute, Liu, Wang, if I may ask, what's going on here?"
"Principal He, you guessed right, we are together."
"Great! Great! A match made in heaven! Absolutely a match made in heaven, a perfect couple! When did you get together?"
"To tell you the truth, Principal He, we got together in our senior year of high school."
"Liu, I didn't expect you to be in a relationship so early. If your admirers knew that the person they've been pursuing for three years was actually dating Wang in their senior year of high school, I wonder how they would feel."
“Principal He, my early romance didn’t interfere with my studies, and Wang Xinghe helped me a lot with my studies.”
"Great, this is the right way to be in a relationship. It's not that I'm against early relationships, but if everyone were like you, getting together just to study better, then why would the school care about early relationships? Honestly."
"Then, Principal, we'll be going now."
"Okay! Then I wish you a long and happy marriage. I'll definitely be at your wedding banquet!"
"Of course, Principal He."
Liu Qingmeng took Wang Xinghe's arm and left.
"You really dare to say that, telling the principal that you're in a relationship too early."
"Hehe, so what? I've already graduated, and my studies haven't suffered at all!"
"You just told me to leave. What did you say to the principal?"
"He didn't say anything, just that he asked the principal to pay more attention to Qinghuan and to tell her not to fall in love too early."
"Is that all you're saying? There's no need to make me leave then."
"That's all I've said, believe it or not!"
He saw Liu Qingmeng let go of his arm and walk straight ahead.
Wang Xinghe quickly caught up, "Okay, okay, let's go find Qinghuan now, they don't have classes this afternoon."
"Let's go, but what about your car?"
"Yeah, there's no room left."
“I’ll call my driver to come over, and you can find a way to move your car.”
“Okay, I’ll make a call and ask Uncle Fu to send someone to drive it to the school for me.”
Meanwhile, on the playground.
"I don't like you! Please leave me alone, okay?"
