Wang Dahe clutched his stomach, a pained expression on his face.
The stomachache and his dad coming to pick him up were just excuses he made up.
Since Su Hua was coming to pick up Xuanzi, he'd better not play the third wheel.
Being their third wheel could be fatal.
"Didn't you just say you wanted a ride back with me?" Lin Xuan looked at Wang Dahe, puzzled.
Wang Dahe scratched the back of his head. "Well, my dad mentioned it offhand this morning before work, saying he'd pick me up after work. I didn't take it seriously and forgot about it. It wasn't until he texted me that he was here that I remembered."
"No good, my stomach hurts worse and worse." The look of pain on Wang Dahe's face seemed to intensify. "I'm off."
"Do you want me to come with you?" Lin Xuan asked with concern.
"No, no need."
Wang Dahe waved his hands repeatedly. "It's just a regular gotta-use-the-bathroom kind of stomachache. I can handle it myself."
If he took Xuanzi away and Su Hua couldn't find him, she'd skin him alive!
Lin Xuan's mind was completely preoccupied with Su Hua anyway, and he had no mental space to spare for Wang Dahe.
He nodded casually. "Alright, go ahead."
Wang Dahe had only run a couple of steps before he turned back.
"Xuanzi, I see Su Hua. She's over there."
Wang Dahe pointed in Su Hua's direction.
Lin Xuan looked over where Wang Dahe pointed and sure enough, he saw Su Hua. She was standing by her car, watching him from a distance.
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and his nervousness returned.
He took a deep breath.
Whatever.
This moment was bound to come sooner or later.
Besides, Hua Bao wouldn't punish him too harshly. At most, she'd keep him in bed for a few extra days.
Speaking of being punished by Hua Bao in bed, he'd almost prefer kneeling on a washboard...
Steeling himself, Lin Xuan walked step by step towards Su Hua.
The moment Su Hua saw Lin Xuan, her previously ice-cold eyes instantly softened.
A student rubbed his eyes.
His face was full of disbelief. "What's going on? Su Hua's expression was cold just a second ago, but in the blink of an eye, it's like she's a different person...
Her expression changes faster than flipping a page.
Of course, that wasn't the main point.
The main point was, who did Su Hua see that made her expression change so dramatically?
The students couldn't help but look in the direction Su Hua was staring.
Lin Xuan's appearance was simply too striking.
They noticed him immediately.
They also remembered the interaction between Su Hua and Lin Xuan on stage earlier.
A bold idea popped into their heads.
Could the person Su Hua was waiting for be Lin Xuan?
The more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
Could it be that Su Hua really had taken a liking to Lin Xuan?
The eyes of the freshmen lit up with the glow of gossip.
Their gazes were fixed intently on Su Hua and Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan walked up to Su Hua and stopped.
The students widened their eyes.
Lin Xuan stopped right in front of Su Hua.
And he was standing at a particularly close distance to her.
Something's up!
It has to be said, Su Hua and Lin Xuan looked absolutely, incredibly stunning standing together.
"Hua Bao." Lin Xuan called Su Hua's name nervously.
Su Hua nodded. "Mm, A-Xuan, you worked hard in class today."
Su Hua's tone was very gentle as she spoke.
Lin Xuan's mood didn't ease in the slightest; instead, he grew even more apprehensive.
A gentle knife cuts deepest.
The gentler Hua Bao was now, the sharper the blade would be later...
The students: !!!
They were actually right. Su Hua really was here waiting for Lin Xuan.
When Lin Xuan called Su Hua "Hua Bao," his voice wasn't loud, so the freshmen only heard Su Hua say "A-Xuan."
A-Xuan...
"I guarantee it now, those two are absolutely, definitely a couple," one student stated with certainty.
A female student who liked Lin Xuan was still stubbornly insisting, "Is 'A-Xuan' necessarily a pet name for couples? Maybe they're aunt and nephew or something."
Another student rolled her eyes hard. "The look in their eyes is so ambiguous you could practically pull threads from it. If that's an aunt-nephew relationship, I'll eat my hat. Keep being stubborn."
Hmph.
The female student pouted.
They're relatives, they are!
Chen Ling was also present.
Her fists, hanging at her sides, were clenched tightly.
It's been this long, and this woman still hasn't left the campus.
She actually came specifically to find Lin Xuan gege again.
And changed into a tight black dress, and put on black stockings.
She really is a fox spirit who loves to seduce men.
Su Hua noticed the students' gazes.
A dark glint flashed in her eyes.
What happened during the lecture was just an appetizer. Now it was time to formally announce her relationship with A-Xuan to the freshmen of Shangqing University.
To prevent those who weren't afraid of death from continuing to try and seduce her A-Xuan.
A dark glint flashed in Su Hua's eyes.
Wang Dahe, who had claimed he was going to the bathroom, had stealthily slipped back.
He was just too curious about what Su Hua and Xuanzi would do.
A man's sixth sense told him Su Hua probably wasn't just here to pick Xuanzi up after school.
Like the other students, Wang Dahe kept his eyes fixed intently on Su Hua and Lin Xuan.
"A-Xuan."
Su Hua called Lin Xuan's name again, her red lips moving closer.
She quickly kissed Lin Xuan's lips.
The students' eyes nearly popped out of their heads.
They all wore expressions of utter disbelief.
Wang Dahe shook his head, muttering sourly to himself, "Su Hua, if you want to be affectionate with Xuanzi, couldn't you pay a little attention to the setting?"
We single dogs really don't need to see this.
Dang it!
And here he thought there'd be some good drama to watch.
Turns out, it was just to be fed dog food.
Lin Xuan also completely didn't expect Su Hua to pull such a move. He froze on the spot.
After kissing Lin Xuan, Su Hua took a step back, putting a slight distance between them.
"A-Xuan, this is your reward for working hard in class all day." Su Hua said, her eyes and brows smiling.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but glance at Su Hua.
What kind of reward was this?
It was clearly just an excuse Hua Bao wanted to use to kiss him.
But since he was the one at fault here, he had to go along with her.
"It was a bit tiring. Haven't sat in a classroom for a whole day in a long time. My back and waist are a bit sore." Lin Xuan nodded in agreement.
He seriously suspected Hua Bao had seen those messages on the forum where girls were frantically confessing to him.
He could already foresee what would happen after returning to Yeyuan with Hua Bao.
If he said he was tired, maybe Hua Bao would take pity on him and not do anything to him.
"Sore back and waist?" Su Hua raised a beautiful eyebrow. "Then A-Xuan really needs to get some good 'exercise.'"
She emphasized the word "exercise" heavily.
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Su Hua added, "I'll exercise with A-Xuan then. We'll work out together to get in shape."
Lin Xuan instantly understood what Su Hua meant.
Seriously?
Hua Bao, is it really appropriate to say such obviously suggestive things in front of so many people?
