Since Nangong Mo showed no reaction at all, they could only hold their ground.
Zuzi brushed off her sleeves and gracefully stepped out: "No worries, let’s see how long he can hold up."
A person’s true feelings cannot be hidden for too long; eventually, there will be telltale signs.
The three of them walked along the school path toward the classroom.
The weather was getting colder, and the tall French parasol trees on one side of the path were bare, looking rather desolate. But on the other side, the maple trees were ablaze with red, adding a special charm to the chilly weather.
Xi Rubao and Wu Qianman suddenly had an idea.
"Zuzi, let’s go soak in the hot springs when it snows. The hot springs at Fengye Villa are famous!"
"Yeah, yeah, bring along your brother-in-law, I’ll book you a Mandarin Duck Pool, haha!"
"In the midst of swirling snow, soaking in the warm spring water... Wow, just thinking about it makes yearn for it. Zuzi’s skin is so fair, it would be such a heavenly picture..."
Zuzi’s red lips slightly parted: "Hot springs? How do you soak?"
Xi Rubao covered her mouth and laughed: "Sis, you haven’t soaked in a hot spring before? It’s that super warm, all-natural beauty spring water, forming a big pool, and then we jump in bare-shouldered..."
Zuzi’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if thinking of sothing: "Oh. The Heavenly Pond, does that count?"
"Ah, sis, you’ve actually been to the Heavenly Pond at Changbai Mountain up north?"
Zuzi shook her head: "Changbai Mountain? No, it’s Nine..."
The Heavenly Pond on the Ninth Heaven.
Before she could finish speaking, a group of girls ca chattering towards them, waving their arms: "Move aside, everyone move to the side, we need the maple tree side urgently!"
The pedestrians on their way to class were pushed and shoved over to the narrow path by the parasol trees.
The three of them were leisurely strolling in the middle of the road, but this group of girls complained about them blocking the way: "Hey, are all the freshn this stupid now? Didn’t you hear us tell you to move aside a bit, can’t you see we’re busy with important things? If you delay us, you can’t afford the consequences!"
Xi Rubao most hated being called stupid!
Hearing this, she wanted to step forward and argue: "Hey, can’t you be a bit more polite when asking for a favor...?"
But Wu Qianman pulled her back: "Forget it, Bao Bao, let it go this ti, maybe those seniors really are in a hurry and spoke without thinking."
Zuzi gave the group of girls a faint glance, her gaze sowhat cool and indifferent.
The group of girls drove all the normal class-goers to one side, took out rolls of pre-printed giant posters from their backpacks, and began nailing them to the maple trees.
The pedestrians were a bit curious and watched.
They thought perhaps the school was organizing so major festive event given such a spectacle.
Who knew.
When the poster was unfurled, it was a blown-up half-body image of a man!
The man’s face looked a bit lancholy, with one hand supporting his chin, his gaze unfocused, against a sowhat gray background, creating an aura particularly inviting of sympathy and intrigue.
"Who is that? So obscure professor giving a lecture?"
"No way, you don’t even know Mr. Wu? You’re so out of touch, he’s the designated male lead of ’Chang Er’!"
"Oh my god, our Mr. Wu has his poster on campus, I’m so happy, I want to donate to Mr. Wu’s fan club to buy more big posters!"
Finally, soone recognized the man on the poster, and suddenly the atmosphere on the school path heated up. The group of senior girls responsible for putting up the posters were especially smug and proud: "Feel lucky, this is a special benefit Mr. Wu gave to our school! Other schools don’t have it."
After a pause, they added: "So newcors still dare to block our way, so short-sighted and clueless!"
Saying this, they glanced towards Zuzi and the others, clearly mocking them for not stepping aside earlier.
