At this moment, Guan Yuntao finally realized he wasn't dreaming. Facing Su Xiaoxiao's greeting, he awkwardly waved his hand: "Hel…hello."
At the same time, Guan Yuntao's brain was rapidly spinning.
Known conditions: showering, breakfast, Su Xiaoxiao, hourly room, uncomfortable, Wen Muxue.
Question: What is the current relationship between Tang Yuan, Wen Muxue, and Su Xiaoxiao?
In just a moment, Guan Yuntao felt like his CPU was about to burn out.
"Damn it!"
"This question is beyond the syllabus!"
Finally, Guan Yuntao chose to go back to bed and search for the answer in his dreams.
________________
It was early morning on friday, and the school cafeteria entrance was bustling with students. When Tang Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao arrived, the cafeteria was at its peak.
Su Xiaoxiao was still in her pure and lovely sportswear, while Tang Yuan had changed into his casual clothes for class: a white short-sleeved shirt paired with dark green work shorts, and sports shoes. Perhaps because he had just showered, he looked very refreshed.
At Zhonghai Jiaotong University's Xuhui Campus, Tang Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao were definitely the campus's most popular figures. The sight of them chatting and laughing, appearing together at the school cafeteria for a meal, immediately drew a lot of attention.
"What's going on? How did Su Xiaoxiao get involved with that super rich second-generation Tang Yuan?"
"Wasn't Tang Yuan ambiguous with Wen Muxue? How is he now involved with Su Xiaoxiao?"
"Hey, hey, hey, watch your words! What do you mean 'got involved'? Maybe our goddess Xiaoxiao just happened to run into him on the way!"
"Brother, just accept reality. The reality is that the goddess you dream of lick ing might also be lick ing someone else very hard."
...
Many people saw Tang Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Tang Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao paid no attention to the attention from others. After buying their breakfast, they found a relatively quiet spot and sat down.
However, what left Tang Yuan a bit speechless was that within five minutes of them sitting down, the empty seats around them were quickly filled, mostly by boys, all glaring at Tang Yuan, breathing heavily.
"Looks like you have a lot of admirers."
Facing these angry stares, Tang Yuan remained calm and smiled, completely unfazed by their gazes.
"Don't mind them." Su Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, then picked up a large piece of beef from her beef noodles and placed it on Tang Yuan's plate: "Here, have some beef brisket, replenish your energy!"
"Crack!"
In an instant, Tang Yuan seemed to hear the sound of many hearts breaking.
"Thank you."
Tang Yuan thanked her, secretly surprised. He hadn't expected Su Xiaoxiao to be so high-profile in public.
A show of force?
Or a provocation?
Or a direct attack?
Tang Yuan couldn't quite guess Su Xiaoxiao's intentions, but no matter what her intentions were, Tang Yuan didn't care. Let her have a thousand schemes, he would remain unmoving, countering each move as it came. Perhaps he might not gain, but he would definitely not lose.
The two ate their breakfast unhurriedly. Tang Yuan ate soft, white meat buns, while Su Xiaoxiao ate beef noodles.
"Are you thirsty?"
"I'll go buy some water."
Just as they were almost finished eating, Su Xiaoxiaosuddenly spoke, then made to stand up.
"I'll go buy it." Tang Yuan was still quite the gentleman: "What do you want to drink?"
"Juice."
Su Xiaoxiao replied.
Tang Yuan nodded slightly at her words and made to leave. However, he had only taken one step when he felt his large hand suddenly grasped by a small, fair, and tender hand.
"Hmm..."
"Mineral water, then."
Su Xiaoxiao held Tang Yuan's hand, looking up at him, her pure and beautiful face slightly flushed, her soft voice like a small cat scratching one's palm.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
Tang Yuan felt Su Xiaoxiao's delicate and smooth small hand. At the same time, he vaguely heard the sound of many hearts breaking again, one after another.
"Okay."
Facing Su Xiaoxiao's proactive move, Tang Yuanmerely smiled, then walked towards the drink stall, bought two bottles of mineral water, and also brought back two bottles of different flavored juices.
"Here..."
Tang Yuan returned to his seat, keeping one bottle of mineral water for himself. He handed the remaining mineral water and juices to Su Xiaoxiao: "Keep the juice to drink later during class."
At her words, Su Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes immediately curved into crescent moons: "Thank you, Senior!"
After they finished their drinks, they quickly finished their meal. They disposed of their trays and walked out of the cafeteria together, only separating at the fork in the road.
"Senior!"
"See you tomorrow morning!"
Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao waved to Tang Yuan and said.
"See you tomorrow morning."
Tang Yuan waved back, then walked away casually.
...
Zhonghai Jiaotong University, as a top university in China, is full of academic elites. However, academic elites are still people, and they are also very gossipy.
In just one morning, the news about Tang Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao having breakfast together had already spread like wildfire throughout the school, and it was becoming more and more exaggerated.
"Have you heard? Su Xiaoxiao seems to be getting ambiguous with Tang Yuan!"
"What ambiguity? They held hands in the cafeteria this morning! They must be dating. I saw it with my own eyes!"
...
"What? You said someone saw them coming back from outside the campus together this morning? They're progressing that fast? They already got a room!"
"It's absolutely true! My boyfriend's good buddy told me he saw Tang Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao exercising together on the track this morning. There are photos as proof!"
...
"Wen Muxue is pathetic. The dignified campus belle actually got cheated on. Su Xiaoxiao is shameless, actually stealing someone else's boyfriend. But then again, Tang Yuan is clearly a super rich second-generation. If I had Su Xiaoxiao's looks and figure, I would definitely not be able to resist going for him. After all, if you seize this opportunity, you could reach the heavens in one step!"
"Jimei, why is the version you heard a bit different from mine? How come I heard that Wen Muxueplayed games with Tang Yuan and angered him, and Su Xiaoxiao only entered the competition after they went their separate ways!"
...
As the saying goes, rumors spread with one mouth, but refuting them breaks legs.
In just half a day, the stories of Tang Yuan, Wen Muxue, and Su Xiaoxiao began to circulate in various versions throughout the school. Each version was vivid, logically clear, and detailed, as if it had been witnessed firsthand.
...
School Gymnasium, Dance Studio.
Wen Muxue, dressed in purple yoga attire, was stretching on a yoga mat. Usually, when she did yoga, her heart was filled with tranquility, but today her mind was in a mess, unable to calm down.
Recalling what her roommate had told her before class, her heart felt heavy, and it grew increasingly stifled and chaotic.
Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer. She raised her hand to signal the teacher in front, then picked up her phone from beside her and walked out of the classroom.
Standing in the hallway, Wen Muxue opened the school forum. She didn't even need to search deliberately; she quickly saw many messages and photos related to Tang Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao: photos of them chatting and laughing on the track, photos of them dining in the cafeteria, and photos of them holding hands in the cafeteria.
Besides these photos, there were all sorts of rumors, a mix of truth and falsehood. Even Wen Muxue found it difficult to distinguish what was real and what was not.
Feeling annoyed, Wen Muxue exited the campus forum, then opened WeChat on her phone, found Tang Yuan's chat page, and clicked into Tang Yuan's Moments homepage.
Soon, Wen Muxue discovered that every one of Tang Yuan's Moments posts had a like from Su Xiaoxiao, and these likes had not been there two days ago.
Afterward, Wen Muxue clicked into Su Xiaoxiao's Moments homepage and saw the post she had made late last night.
A full 20 carnivals!
Who could have such power?
Wen Muxue immediately thought of Tang Yuan.
Thinking of this, Wen Muxue felt even worse.
As a master of 'fishing' (keeping multiple admirers), Wen Muxue had always been adept at it. First enthusiasm, then coldness, repeated a few times, and the other party would basically find it difficult to escape her 'fish pond.' It was a trick that worked everywhere, so when facing Tang Yuan, she habitually used this tactic.
However, events did not unfold as she had expected.
She overestimated her own charm and underestimated Tang Yuan's charm.
For ordinary students, her beauty, figure, education, ability, etc., in combination, were indeed extremely rare resources. But Tang Yuan was not an ordinary student. He could leave five supercars worth over a hundred million yuan to gather dust on the ground every day. He could casually spend over four million yuan on stamps because of a hobby. How could such a distinguished person lack young and beautiful girls around him?
Take Su Xiaoxiao, for example. She was a girl who was completely not inferior to herself. Now that she saw an opportunity, she immediately latched onto Tang Yuan, completely disregarding the consequences, launching a direct, aggressive attack.
Tang Yuan casually revealing something from between his fingers allowed her to gain hundreds of thousands of followers in just a few days, becoming a million-follower blogger. If Su Xiaoxiao successfully latched onto Tang Yuan, surpassing her would only be a matter of time.
The thought of Su Xiaoxiao possibly trampling her underfoot one day made the always strong-willed Wen Muxue feel terribly distressed, even causing her breathing to quicken.
"Su Xiaoxiao..."
"Tang Yuan is mine, don't even think about it!"
"It's just a direct approach, who can't do that!"
A flash of determination flickered in Wen Muxue's eyes. She decided to change her strategy. If she didn't change her strategy soon, it might truly be too late.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
Just as Wen Muxue made up her mind, the class bell suddenly rang, and then students from the dance studio began to exit one after another.
"Li Yue!"
Wen Muxue suddenly spoke, calling out to her roommate.
"Xuexue, why are you standing there dumbfounded?"
"Hurry up and change, then let's go eat!"
Wen Muxue's roommate, Li Yue, greeted Wen Muxueimmediately upon seeing her.
"Li Yue, can you do me a favor?"
Wen Muxue said softly.
"What favor?"
Li Yue asked.
Wen Muxue's face was slightly flushed: "Can you help me take some photos?"
"In the dance studio?" Li Yue was stunned, then her gaze swept up and down: "Wearing yoga clothes?"
Wen Muxue's face turned even redder, and she nodded in affirmative again.
"Right here in the dance studio!"
"Just wearing yoga clothes!"
