Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The noisy crowd fell into a dead silence.

The scene seemed to freeze, and the hot sunlight and shadows were still.

Everyone was shocked, and for a moment, no one even reacted.

After a short pause, someone finally gasped and quickly turned to look at Lu Huaiyu.

Ning Li!

There was a faint smile in his black eyes, and the corners of his eyes and brows were full of unconcealed indulgence.

He was looking at Ning Li.

That sentence continued to echo in everyone’s ears, almost rendering them speechless.

In the next moment, under the gaze of countless gazes, Ning Li finally moved her feet to walk past Yao Mingjia and the others. She stood a step away from him and called out obediently.

“Second Brother.”

…

Everyone knew that Ning Li, the new student of Xijing University, was cold and distant.

She had countless suitors, yet no one had ever been able to win the favor of the school belle.

Even the president of the student union, Shu Hang from the Medical Faculty, had personally brought porridge for her and waited downstairs for a long time, yet he had only received a cold and ruthless rejection.

Later, rumors had started to spread. Many people linked her to words like “rich second generation” and so on, causing many to speculate.

There were some who looked on coldly from the sidelines, and some who secretly mocked her.

But now–

Lu Huaiyu had arrived.

He was Ning Li’s boyfriend?!

Lu Huaiyu saw the sparkling drops of sweat on the tip of her nose, and the tinge of red on her clear, fair face. He frowned slightly.

“Did you get a sunburn?”

Ning Li shook her head.

“It’s alright.”

Lu Huaiyu raised his hand and pressed the back of his hand against her forehead, before pressing down her cap.

His actions were casual and natural, but there seemed to be a deep-seated gentleness in his bones that was very rarely seen.

As she spoke, she thought of something and turned her body slightly.

“Second Brother, this is my roommate, Xue Langlang.”

Xue Langlang was still in a daze, her eyes wide open.

Ning Li’s gaze swept over Yao Mingjia’s face lightly.

It was summer, but her face was deathly pale.

Ning Li skipped over the first half of the sentence and gave a simple introduction. “And, Yao Mingjia.”

“Ding Yu is in the computer science department. She’s quite far from here. I’ll introduce her to you later.”

Lu Huaiyu’s lips curved slightly, and he obediently replied, “Okay.”

Then, he nodded to Xue Langlang and Yao Mingjia respectively and smiled lightly.

“Hello, I’m Ning Li’s boyfriend, Lu Huaiyu.”

A deep and pleasant voice sounded, causing everyone present to feel dazed and unable to react.

He had admitted it…

He had said it himself!

Xue Langlang quickly said, “Hello, Senior Lu!”

This voice finally gave a reminder to Yao Mingjia.

Her face was pale as she looked at the two people who were standing together in the same place, and her whole body stiffened.

It was not easy for her to find her voice again.

“Hi… Senior Lu…”

Lu Huaiyu smiled.

“Actually, we should have met a long time ago. However, Ah Li said that she was busy with military training during this period of time, so it was delayed until now.”

No one responded, and the air remained silent.

This was the person in charge of the Lu family in the Capital, the Second Master of the Lu family, Lu Huaiyu.

Among the people present, who could possibly be busier than him?!

However, he had just said that it was all because Ning Li was busy, which was why he had kept delaying it until today.

Even a fool could hear his protective intentions!

Yao Mingjia’s face tensed up, and her entire body went cold.

Previously, she had repeatedly, intentionally or unintentionally, hinted that Ning Li was hiding her boyfriend and seemed to be refusing to bring him out for others to see. She was definitely feeling guilty now.

Who would have thought that her boyfriend was actually Lu Huaiyu?!

What rich second generation?

What luxury car?

Wasn’t it enough that Lu Huaiyu was standing here now?!

The moment he had appeared, those rumors had instantly become extremely weak and laughable!

“It’s fine, it’s fine!” Xue Langlang immediately came out to smooth things over. “That… this matter is up to Ning Li and Senior Lu’s convenience. We… we have nothing to do with it!”

Lu Huaiyu laughed.

“Ah Li has only just arrived at the school. Thank you for taking care of her. I still have to show my gratitude. If it’s convenient for you, shall we have a meal together?”

Although he was asking a question, his tone was languid and faintly carried the strength of a superior. No one could refuse him.

Ning Li glanced at him.

So… This was what he had said before… Was he actually going through with it?

Lu Huaiyu met her gaze, and the smile on his lips deepened. He raised his eyebrows slightly.

“I’ve heard that this is an unwritten rule in college female dorms. However, this is also my first time being someone else’s boyfriend, so if there’s anything that I’ve done wrong, please correct me.”

What he said made it even more difficult for others to accept.

An exception had been made for Lu Huaiyu when he had entered Xijing University. He had a good family background and a strong personal background. He also had such a beautiful face.

Even though he had graduated a long time ago, he was still an influential figure at Xijing University.

Whenever this name was mentioned, the person always seemed unreachable and unattainable.

However, he was standing here now, smiling and asking if he could treat them to a meal.

Who could not tell that this rare show of gentleness was only for Ning Li?

Xue Langlang was confused and subconsciously glanced at Ning Li.

If it were anyone else, she might have readily agreed.

But… but this was Lu Huaiyu!

Yao Mingjia also pursed her lips tightly, as if she did not know how to reply.

Or perhaps, she did not want to say a word at all.

“Huaiyu?”

Someone walked over with a smile.

“Elder Qin and the others are urgently waiting for you. Why haven’t you gone over yet?”

After the school anniversary ceremony ended, the school authorities had specially arranged a gathering for the alumni who had returned.

Lu Huaiyu smiled and said, “I came over to talk to my girlfriend.”

The other person looked to be less than 30 years old and seemed to know Lu Huaiyu fairly well. When he heard this, he was immediately shocked and looked at Ning Li.

“Isn’t this–”

Wasn’t this the new student representative who had given a speech on stage today?!

Lu Huaiyu nodded.

“Yes, she’s been too busy recently.”

Therefore, even he had been forced to wait until the military training and the school anniversary celebration had ended before he could get even a minute of her free time.

There was no need for him to elaborate further. Everyone naturally understood.

The other person reacted with silence for some time. The situation was not much better for the people around him.

Ning Li said, “Second Brother, you have something else that you need to do first.”

The alumni dinner was still very important.

Lu Huaiyu looked at his watch and thought for a while.

“Then… tonight? Shall we go out to eat then?”

Ning Li looked at Xue Lang and Yao Mingjia.

Xue Langlang immediately said, “I can go!”

Yao Mingjia finally forced a smile. “Yes, we can go, as long as it’s convenient for Senior Lu.”

Ning Li nodded. “Okay.”

Lu Huaiyu smiled and could not help but raise his hand to pinch her face affectionally.

“Then let’s go to Sakura Riji, the one on Huaiding Road. I have a meeting this afternoon, so I’ll arrange for Uncle Fang to pick you up at 6 p.m. , okay?”

Huaiding Road was not very far from Xijing University. It was a famous commercial street in the Capital, with a ridiculously high average consumption.

Ning Li did not have any objections and nodded.

Only then did Lu Huaiyu turn around to leave with the other person.

After taking a few steps, that person turned back and glanced at Ning Li, saying something to Lu Huaiyu.

Lu Huaiyu turned his head to the side and nodded with a smile.

In the distance, the instructor had already begun to instruct the students of the various faculties to leave.

However, there was no reaction from the crowd. Instead, they continued to stare at Ning Li, their eyes still filled with shock.

Ning Li picked up her water tumbler, her expression remaining calm as if the main character of this matter was not her.

“Let’s go.”
