When the two of them arrived at the school, there were many people and cars coming and going downstairs.
It was the day of returning to campus, and many familiar faces who had spent their winter vacation eating, drinking, and having fun—all with rosy complexions—passed by.
After greeting a few people, Gu Sheng felt this absolutely wouldn’t do. Almost everyone, after exchanging greetings, wore an expression that seemed to say, "Sheng Sheng Man, you’re so lucky..." The Top talent walked leisurely beside her, admiring her campus as if he didn’t care at all about the obvious or subtle glances directed their way.
If... his fans in the Two-dimensional world knew... that their Top talent was being watched and gossiped about by so many girls, they would definitely gang up and "headshot" her, right? T T
She stopped.
Mo Qingcheng also stopped.
"You can just drop me off here, thank... you."
Sir, please don’t suggest going to see my dorm room...
Only today is everyone allowed to enter the dormitory building. Please, please don’t make such a request, otherwise I really wouldn’t know how to refuse...
"Alright," he finally handed her the backpack. "See you next time."
"Mm, goodbye."
Carrying her own backpack, she turned around.
Step by step, step by step, she walked forward, not daring to look back, wanting to look back, not daring to look back, wanting to look back... The backpack held in front of her was truly heavy as hell. If she had known the Top talent would have to carry it all the way, she definitely wouldn’t have brought so many snacks. You glutton, Sheng Sheng Man, look how tired you made the Top talent T T.
She finally walked through the glass door of the dormitory building, then took two steps to the left, quietly turned around, and from a corner where Mo Qingcheng couldn’t see, looked back to see if he had left.
Mo Qingcheng seemed to have seen her enter the door and glanced at his watch.
"Gu Sheng!" Suddenly, Geng Xiaoxing’s voice came from outside the dormitory building. "Who are you hiding by the door to look at? A handsome guy?!"
......
......
Let me die... Heaven and Earth, please strike me down with a bolt of lightning...
Gu Sheng stiffened, watching Geng Xiaoxing bounce up to her. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mo Qingcheng clearly lower his arm, looking over with great interest, then turn and leave.
......
......
He definitely heard, he definitely heard T T.
"Why are you spacing out? You were fine when we talked on the phone yesterday," Geng Xiaoxing smiled and waved her hand in front of Gu Sheng’s face. "Quick, tell me, how did the meet-up with the stunningly handsome Top talent go?"
Gu Sheng silently glanced at her.
"Just now, Perfect texted me on WeChat saying the Top talent personally escorted you back to school? You two are progressing really fast..." Geng Xiaoxing’s tone was full of envy. "Is the Top talent really that handsome?"
Gu Sheng continued to silently glance at her.
Having been stimulated for several hours, she no longer had the energy to deal with anything Geng Xiaoxing said. She just felt that Geng Xiaoxing’s final shout had completely ruined the image she had maintained all afternoon and evening. Getting caught peeking was just too embarrassing.
Out of the four roommates, only the two of them were guaranteed graduate students. The other two had already gone off for internships.
So they probably wouldn’t come back until tomorrow to report symbolically before continuing to work.
So tonight, it was just the two of them again.
After several attempts to probe yielded no results, Geng Xiaoxing finally steered the topic toward Jue Mei. Gu Sheng finally relented, sitting on her own bed while checking YY Voice Chat messages, and said, "He’s tall, yeah, a very emperor-like Dominant type, super Dominant... Anyway, as long as he’s not joking around, he has quite the presence."When joking around T T, he's like a mafia boss... the refined type of mafia boss.
"Oh~" Geng Xiaoxing climbed up the ladder to her bed, half-leaning on it with her hands resting on the headboard, "Tell me more." Gu Sheng dutifully thought for a moment: "Why don't you come with me next time... after all, you two have been □ for so long."
"What affair?!" Geng Xiaoxing reached for her foot.
Gu Sheng dodged while laughing: "There is an affair!"
Geng Xiaoxing completely climbed onto her bed.
"Don't, don't," Gu Sheng pointed at the computer, "I'm holding my laptop, don't break it."
Geng Xiaoxing really backed off, suddenly realizing something: "When are you meeting next?"
"Huh?"
"Didn't you say next time?"
...
Gu Sheng didn't know why she mentioned next time either. Was it because Top talent said see you next time? She stumbled over her words, then saw a message from her Shezhang: "Sheng Sheng Man, where have you been... tonight is your hosting shift, I've been covering for you for half an hour already... hurry, hurry."
She froze for a moment, immediately remembering—tonight was her day to host at her own club T T...
"I can't talk anymore, I can't talk anymore, I need to go sing..." Gu Sheng put on her headset, feeling very guilty, "It's my turn to host at the club tonight... I actually forgot."
Geng Xiaoxing looked gleeful, finally letting her go.
Gu Sheng immediately entered the channel and heard Shezhang singing "Realization" with great sorrow, his voice utterly desolate. Seeing her name appear, he immediately said: "Sheng Sheng Man, my lady... you've finally arrived."
Gu Sheng typed: I forgot...
Shezhang: "Just get on mic... I'm almost out of breath. Everyone, please wait, we'll switch soon."
Gu Sheng privately messaged Shezhang: Um... isn't it supposed to be two people hosting today? Where's Zoudiao'er?
Shezhang privately messaged her: He said he has a date. He said after twenty years, it's finally not a guy confessing to him but a girl, so he absolutely must go...
Gu Sheng: ...Bless him.
Shezhang: I've covered for you for half an hour, just sing for another hour or so and then you can leave.
Gu Sheng: Okay.
Shezhang went off mic and started resting with his username idle. She got on mic, picked two songs, and casually hummed along, half-heartedly collecting flowers. Her club was a small one, without many dedicated fans yet, so they scheduled singers to host twice a week to attract attention. She placed her laptop on the small computer desk, curled her legs up, sat properly at the desk, and started singing.
While singing, she heard her phone ring.
Humming her song, she tapped the bed, signaling Geng Xiaoxing to hand her the phone.
When she took it, she saw a text message from Top talent: I'm home.
...
She immediately went off-key.
Clearing her throat, she casually said, "Sorry, I need to take a call."
The background music continued playing, but she was here replying to his WeChat: Glad you're home... thank you for sending me back today ^^
After sending it, something felt off no matter what.
But she couldn't pinpoint what exactly... it felt like Top talent and she had suddenly taken a huge leap into being very familiar. Yet, aside from knowing his name is Mo Qingcheng and that he's the famously renowned online Top talent Qiang Qingci, she genuinely knew nothing else...She tossed her phone aside and randomly flipped through her folder, trying to find a song to sing.
After thinking it over, she inexplicably opened the accompaniment for "Song Weiyang."
She had just listened to it, and the impression was too deep—might as well practice it. Of course... she definitely wouldn’t be able to sing it with as much feeling or as perfectly as the Top talent. She looked at the lyrics and sang slowly.
Suddenly, she heard Shezhang excitedly interrupt her: "Ah! Am I seeing things? How did it break a thousand listeners in such a short time? I mean... did the girls come to the wrong channel..."
Gu Sheng was stunned.
"Shezhang, you’re not seeing things..." Zoudiao'er’s voice chimed in, "I think I rushed back for nothing... Ahhh! What am I seeing? My idol! Top talent!"
"Where, where is Top talent? Sir, have you really descended upon our humble channel... I’m so moved!"
Gu Sheng instantly understood and instantly forgot how to sing...
Top talent...
Top talent was here...
The problem was, she was singing "Song Weiyang," the song he had just sung on the bus earlier, ahhh!
On the public screen, Qiang Qingci simply sent a smiley face.
Instantly, hundreds of "Ahhh, let’s take a screenshot together..." flew across the screen.
"Sir, our club is about to hold a one-year anniversary concert. Can I invite you? Can I invite you?" Shezhang was anything but calm...
Qiang Qingci sent another smiley face: If work isn’t too busy, I should be able to come.
Instantly, hundreds of "Ahhh, the concert..." flew across the screen.
Gu Sheng felt she truly couldn’t hold on anymore. Letting the background music play, she buried her face in her knees, so embarrassed she wished she could just die... She had lost all her dignity for a lifetime tonight, hadn’t she? T T
Author’s Note: = = I actually used seven chapters to write a day-long date from morning till night... P.S. Wolves = = They just met for the first time, and those girls shouting "boiling a frog in warm water" or "Top talent lacks initiative"... aren’t they all too wolf-like? T T
