121: Chapter 121: Big Gossip Is Coming!

Meanwhile, in a classroom of the teaching building, Im Yoona was listening intently to the professor's lecture, her notebook filled with dense notes.

Ever since Liu Zijun arranged for the two girls to attend school, Im Yoona thought that since she could get into Dongguk University on her own, she had to study even harder.

The bell for the break rang, and the professor announced a short recess.

Im Yoona stretched and rubbed her aching wrists. Just as she was about to take out her phone to send a message to Liu Zijun, it suddenly rang.

An unknown number was displayed on the screen. Im Yoona frowned, hesitated for a moment, but picked it up anyway.

"Hello, who is this?"

A gentle male voice came from the other end of the line, carrying a somewhat familiar hint of a smile.

"Yoona, it's me, Lee Seung-gi."

Im Yoona's expression darkened instantly, and her tone became cold.

Hadn't she already blacklisted his number? Usually, when someone sees this action, shouldn't they consciously stop contacting her?

So, she even changed the way she addressed him.

"Lee Seung-gi-xi? Is there something you need?"

She used to think he was a decent person, but after falling for Liu Zijun, she had blacklisted his number because she was unbearably pestered by Lee Seung-gi's frequent harassment.

Of course, she knew about Lee Seung-gi's intentions to pursue her, but she belonged to him now.

She didn't expect him to change his number to continue contacting her; this was getting a bit brazen!

Lee Seung-gi seemed to have long expected this reaction, and his tone remained gentle.

"Yoona, I just want to have a good talk with you. I know I might have been a bit abrupt before and made you feel uncomfortable; I apologize to you."

He paused and then said, "I'm at Dongguk University right now. It'll be dinner time when you finish class. I'd like to treat you to a meal as an apology. Would that be okay?"

"No need. I still have class, and I already have a date."

Im Yoona refused without hesitation, her tone firm and leaving no room for compromise.

There was a faint, imperceptible gloom in Lee Seung-gi's voice, but he still didn't give up.

"A date? Yoona, I know you might be making excuses.

I'm already downstairs at the teaching building. Come down after class.

We'll just have a meal and a quick chat; it won't take up too much of your time."

Im Yoona was getting impatient and said coldly, "I said I'm not going. Lee Seung-gi-xi, please stop bothering me."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

She composed herself and started listening to the lecture seriously again.

But shortly after class began, the classroom door was gently pushed open, and a figure in a casual suit walked in; it was Lee Seung-gi.

He looked around, his gaze landing straight on Im Yoona, with a gentle smile on his face.

The other students in the classroom all looked over curiously, and whispers began to rise.

Everyone recognized Lee Seung-gi and knew about the rumors between him and Im Yoona. Seeing him suddenly appear here, they couldn't help but start gossiping.

This was some juicy gossip to enjoy!

With a polite smile on his face, Lee Seung-gi gave everyone an apologetic look and walked straight to the seat next to Im Yoona to sit down.

His tone was full of sincerity, though whether it was genuine or not was unknown.

"Yoona, I think you might have some misunderstandings about me. It's okay, I'll explain it to you. I'll wait for you to finish class."

He bet that Im Yoona would care about her image and wouldn't make things too awkward for him in public, so he deliberately walked into the classroom to force her to compromise.

Im Yoona looked at the seated Lee Seung-gi and then at the curious gazes of the students around her. Her face turned pale and then flushed; she was both angry and anxious.

She didn't expect Lee Seung-gi to be so persistent that he would actually come into the classroom.

A scandal was going to break out!

She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and moved to the side, leaving a gap between them.

She said in a cold voice, "Lee Seung-gi-xi, I am not going to dinner with you."

The smile on Lee Seung-gi's face stiffened for a moment; he seemingly didn't expect Im Yoona to be so dismissive.

Just as he was about to say something more, Im Yoona ignored him!

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Lee Seung-gi's eyes again. This woman's attitude towards him had suddenly changed at the beginning of the year, and he didn't know why.

He had heard from SM Entertainment staff that Im Yoona seemed to be very close to a bodyguard.

But Im Yoona wasn't a girl like Choi Sulli, who was so love-struck.

Besides, was he really inferior to a bodyguard?

Seeing Im Yoona's distance, he guessed that she must have someone she liked.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, it wasn't appropriate for him to get any closer to Im Yoona.

The students in the row behind them also realized something, their faces full of expressions of enjoying the gossip, and some were even secretly taking photos.

They even had the headlines ready.

#Shocking! Lee Seung-gi's Dream Pursuit of Girls Generation's Im Yoona Rejected#

#On the Love and Hate Between Girls Generation's Im Yoona and Lee Seung-gi!!!#

...

The bell for the end of class suddenly rang.

Im Yoona immediately packed her books and stood up to leave.

Lee Seung-gi quickly blocked her, his tone carrying a hint of grievance.

"Yoona, do you hate me that much? We're friends after all. It's just a meal; is it that hard?"

Im Yoona bypassed him and walked quickly toward the classroom door, her heart secretly anxious.

She was afraid Liu Zijun was still waiting for her outside; if he saw Lee Seung-gi pestering her, she was afraid he would overthink it.

Meanwhile, outside the teaching building, Liu Zijun was saying goodbye to Kim Ji-won.

"Little girl Kim Ji-won, thank you for waiting with me for Yoona to finish class."

Kim Ji-won raised the coffee in her hand and smiled, "Ji-Jun Oppa, thank you for the coffee. You know so much; chatting with you was very pleasant. Let's talk again when there's a chance. Say hello to Sulli for me."

Liu Zijun gave a gentle smile. Just as he turned around, he saw Im Yoona walking quickly out of the teaching building, followed by a man who was constantly saying something. It was Lee Seung-gi.

Im Yoona immediately saw Liu Zijun and Kim Ji-won nearby. A flash of panic crossed her eyes, and ignoring Lee Seung-gi behind her, she ran toward Liu Zijun.

Seeing Liu Zijun, Lee Seung-gi's brow furrowed slightly, and a surge of inexplicable hostility rose in his heart.

He could feel the powerful aura radiating from this man, and the way Im Yoona looked at him clearly carried dependence and intimacy, which made him very uncomfortable.

Im Yoona ran to Liu Zijun's side. Before he could speak, she immediately linked her arm with his, leaned her head gently on his shoulder, and said to the approaching Lee Seung-gi, "Lee Seung-gi-xi, this is my boyfriend. We have a date, so we'll be going now."

Her voice wasn't loud, and her tone carried a clear sense of distance and warning.

Lee Seung-gi's face turned ugly instantly.

Seeing the intimate way Im Yoona and Liu Zijun were acting, his heart was filled with resentment, but in public, he didn't know how to talk back.

Standing to the side, Kim Ji-won watched this dramatic scene with eyes full of surprise. This was some major gossip.

Wasn't Liu Zijun Choi Sulli's boyfriend?

Was Im Yoona using him as a shield? But they seemed a bit too intimate.

Liu Zijun looked down at Im Yoona holding his arm. Feeling her anxious mood, he immediately understood the situation.

He raised his hand and gently patted the back of her hand, giving her a reassuring look. Then he looked at Lee Seung-gi, his gaze calm but carrying an indisputable sense of pressure.

He said in a flat tone, "Whoever you are, Yoona is my girlfriend. If you pester her again, things might not be so simple.

We have things to do, so please excuse us! Ji-won, Yoona and I will be going now."

After saying that, he stopped looking at Lee Seung-gi. He walked a few steps to the motorcycle, put a helmet on Im Yoona, and then got on first.

After getting on the bike, Im Yoona hugged his waist tightly and buried her face in his back. Her nervousness gradually dissipated.

Oppa isn't angry!

Liu Zijun twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle started slowly. He nodded to Kim Ji-won again and drove out of the campus.

The roar of the engine gradually faded away.

After seeing Kim Ji-won leave with a polite greeting, Lee Seung-gi stood alone on the spot, his face ashen and his eyes full of resentment and bitterness.
