57: Chapter 57: All the girls in the school offer warmth, all the boys hope he gets cold.
In Tang Luochuan's class.
Zhang Ming and Zhou Qi had stayed up past ten o'clock.
The two got up with slightly flushed faces, preparing to go 'visit' Tang Luochuan.
The reason they felt embarrassed was because Jiang Jinyue was looking at them with a gaze that said 'idiot'.
How could she not know whether Tang Luochuan was actually injured or not?
Zhang Ming and Zhou Qi had volunteered to take care of the 'hospitalized' Tang Luochuan.
When the two passed by Jiang Jinyue's seat, the girl let out a disdainful: "Tch."
Zhang Ming and Zhou Qi didn't look back, clutching their new gaming laptops as they quickly escaped.
Just as they reached the first floor...
"Zhang Ming!" A girl suddenly called out to the two.
Zhang Ming and Zhou Qi turned around to see a girl with decent looks standing there.
She was holding a small cake with a red heart drawn on it.
Zhang Ming puffed out his chest; he was a man with Su Yuanyuan now, so he couldn't just mess around.
Zhou Qi also signaled him to stay calm: "Don't make a mistake, you have a girlfriend."
"I know." Zhang Ming replied, suddenly putting on what he thought was his most handsome smile, his voice dropping to a magnetic tone: "Hello, can I help you?"
Zhou Qi looked at him in disbelief, the corners of his mouth twitching, as he mouthed: "WTF! You're obviously hitting on her."
The girl shyly handed him the cake: "You take this."
"Oh, beautiful, I'm sorry..." Zhang Ming replied, enunciating every word with full emotion: "As for me..."
The girl suddenly interrupted: "Is classmate Luochuan okay! This is for him!"
"Ah?" Zhang Ming realized, how could she be looking for him? His voice returned to its normal tone: "Oh, he's fine."
"That's good, tell him! Take good care of his health, I'm Li Xinxin from the Medical School!"
"Oh..."
Before the words had even faded, a few more girls came over from the side.
Each holding their own little gifts, basically inexpensive things like snacks.
They shoved them at the two.
"Tell classmate Luochuan to take good care of his health!"
"Tell him to move around less, I'm Zhao Yaning from the Aviation School!"
"I'm from our department, Qin Yue! Tell him to take care of himself, sorry to trouble you two."
One by one, they introduced themselves, full of concern for classmate Tang Luochuan.
Zhou Qi and Zhang Ming had no choice; it seemed they couldn't leave without taking them.
In the end, they went to a nearby supermarket to get some plastic bags so they could pack everything up and leave.
By the time they arrived at Tang Luochuan's house, it was already eleven o'clock.
Upon seeing the two, Tang Luochuan was stunned: "Where did you two go to stock up on goods?"
"Luochuan, it's like this!" Zhou Qi panted: "The school isn't right."
"What's wrong?"
"Look!" Zhou Qi took out his phone and opened several group chats: "Yesterday's chat logs! All the students are very concerned about you."
"Yeah! I know... I want to thank them later."
"But today, only the girls are concerned about your health."
"Oh? And what about the boys?"
"They're concerned about when you're going to die? Whether you're actually going to die or not?"
This incident gave many girls a reason to get to know Tang Luochuan; concern between classmates shouldn't be an issue, right?
Even if it was mixed with ulterior motives.
But the boys weren't stupid; yesterday, it was because a classmate was 'bullied' by people from outside the school, so they stood together against a common enemy.
But today, realizing that the girls they liked were so concerned about Tang Luochuan, how could they not be jealous??
Tang Luochuan narrowed his eyes, feeling very innocent yet helpless: "I'll deal with that bald guy sooner or later! But... the school seems even more dangerous."
Zhang Ming asked: "Do you want to respond to the girls' concern?"
"Respond my ass. If I respond! The next time I go to school, I'll go in standing and come out lying down."
The group continued playing games.
...
On the other side, the Freshman Orientation Gala continued as usual, and Jiang Jinyue's preparations were almost done.
The group prepared to change into their formal wear.
Night fell, and the freshman gala began.
The program list had been distributed long ago, and everyone was only focused on a few things.
Host Shen Muyan, piano solo Jiang Jinyue...
Everything else was ignored; it was purely to join in the fun, and besides that, what mattered was looking at the beauties.
Jiang Jinyue had changed into her evening gown, and her refined aura immediately stood out; she seemed very suited for and comfortable in this kind of attire.
After all, she had been exposed to it since she was young.
However, no matter how much makeup she wore, it couldn't hide the coldness on her delicate face.
On the other side, contrasting with her temperament was Shen Muyan.
To fit the orientation theme, she had changed into a red evening gown, specifically styled her hair, and was running around backstage dragging her dress.
There was no helping it; besides being the host, she was also an official in the Literature and Art Department.
She was leading the backstage work, terrified of any mishaps.
However, in the eyes of those backstage, they were filled with envy and jealousy.
It was hard to imagine that both girls belonged to the same man.
Most of the people here were students from the school; the men were handsome, and the women were beautiful, so it was hard not to compete for attention.
"Who is that host in the red dress?" A boy whispered to his companion.
"A sophomore junior, Shen Muyan."
"Is that so? Should we go over and ask for her WeChat?"
"Forget it!"
"Why?"
"She has a boyfriend..."
"So what? College relationships are just like that. If we ask, maybe we'll have a chance after she breaks up! A girl with this kind of beauty is worth waiting for."
"Bro, you don't know, her boyfriend is a freshman!"
"Huh?"
"He's super rich! Keep a low profile; I heard the necklace around her neck costs eighty or ninety thousand. Let's just look and leave it at that."
"Then... what about that girl playing the piano? Asking her for her number is fine too!"
"That one... is also Tang Luochuan's woman!"
"Damn..." The boy's brows twisted into a knot: "Where is that Tang Luochuan? I want to beat him up!"
His companion smiled bitterly: "I want to too... sigh..."
Just as the two were sighing, a figure walked past them.
Carrying a fragrance, and also an ethereal air...
The light gauze brushed past the tips of their noses, making their hearts flutter.
Su Wantang bit her lip; she still felt a bit uncomfortable inside, but when it was time for the performance, she had to grit her teeth and go on.
However, in her Flying Apsaras makeup and costume, her ethereal air combined with her aggrieved expression couldn't help but evoke a sense of 'pity and affection'.
It stirred up the boys' protective and possessive desires.
The girl's face was very recognizable; even Jiang Jinyue, who was standing to the side, felt her heart surge when she saw this look.
Beauties appreciate beauties too!
People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles; at this moment, Shen Muyan and Jiang Jinyue were earthly beauties.
And Su Wantang was a fairy from heaven; the costume and styling gave her a huge advantage.
The gala was about to begin, and Zhou Qi and Zhang Ming walked one in front and one behind, protecting Tang Luochuan, who was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, as they arrived backstage.
"Hey, hey, unauthorized personnel stop!" A flustered Shen Muyan saw the group at a glance.
"Senior, we've delivered the goods!"
"What goods?"
Zhou Qi poked Tang Luochuan: "Delivering this piece of goods!"
