"Hah?" The surrounding people stood up in astonishment, their eyes wide open. The new campus diva, Cheng Lingsu, whom they revered as a goddess had actually called this boy 'Husband.' Such a sequence was too shocking.
The guys sitting beside him were utterly stupefied, especially Tian Bu. He had just claimed he'd eat the table if Jiang Xiu was really Cheng Lingsu's boyfriend and he hadn't even returned his hand to the table before his face got smacked so quickly. He made an embarrassed expression yet also felt even more shocked.
"He's really her boyfriend?"
From what he knew, there were many young masters and rich boys chasing after Cheng Lingsu.
Cheng Lingsu likes him?
It wasn't that Jiang Xiu was inferior, he just appeared ordinary and hardly came up to the rank where he could chase after a class diva. Tian Bu didn't think it was possible for someone like that to date Cheng Lingsu who was a campus diva.
Cheng Lingsu had already come walking towards Jiang Xiu. This guy actually still wore an impassive expression, as if he hadn't noticed the lovely call by the campus diva. His acting looked a bit too stiff.
Cheng Lingsu hadn't expected Jiang Xiu would appear here, so she felt greatly surprised and was unable to conceal the happiness in her eyes - "How come you're here?"
"Hmm, I was just passing by a nearby place…"
Cheng Lingsu gave out a flowery smile. It didn't matter whether he came here with sincerity or to put on a play. She linked arms with him and pull him up from his seat, taking him towards the stage cheerfully. "I'll introduce my classmates to you."
Just like a perfect couple!
Jiang Xiu couldn't adapt well to Cheng Lingsu's intimate behavior, so his body was a little stiff, but he let her pull him towards the stage. The eyes of the girls on the stage were already burning with the flames of gossip.
"Susu…"
"Who is this?"
They evaluated Jiang Xiu with an unrestrained gaze, feeling that he wasn't suitable for Cheng Lingsu.
"Ahem… My dear classmates…"
"Let me officially and solemnly introduce Jiang Xiu to you sisters." Cheng Lingsu wore a glittering smile on her face which made her look even more gorgeous and alluring than before, "My… husband…"
She covered her pretty face with both hands after saying these words, as if she couldn't show her face due to feeling shy and hid in Jiang Xiu's embrace.
This girl really knew how to pretend!
As for Jiang Xiu - He felt like life had no meaning anymore. He wondered why he was even here? From where did he come? He thought that maybe it was time for him to return. The disgust he felt towards Cheng Lingsu increased more, but he had to match with her.
Cheng Lingsu took a glance back very carefully while her face blushed slightly.
"Susu, you've finally revealed it…"
"You hid too deep."
"When did I hide it? Hasn't he come here today? Alright now, stop staring at him so much." Cheng Lingsu said with a flushed face.
Miao Xiaolin said, "Oi, stop acting so petty, lass. It's not like you'll lose anything if we stare at him."
"No!"
"You're not allowed to stare at him!"
Cheng Lingsu blocked their view by standing in front of him. A few of the girls came up to make fun of her. Suddenly, the stage became full of sweet laughter. All the boys stared at this scene with envy.
For the rest of the rehearsal, Jiang Xiu was allowed to watch it from the 1st row. This guy thought that his mission was completed now that everyone knew Cheng Lingsu was already taken, that those boys wouldn't disturb her again and his suffering would finally end.
Cheng Lingsu was the lead dancer. She was performing a pretty dynamic and explosive robotic breakdance which really brought out her individuality. Actually, girls looked prettier while performing a breakdance than when boys performed.
"What's that brat's history?"
"He actually hooked up with the campus diva."
The boys felt pretty unwell.
"Kiddo, come with me…"
That man called Young Master Ai who acted cool called out to Jiang Xiu and Jiang Xiu actually followed after him like an idiot. The girls who were rehearsing stopped when they saw this.
"Susu, you boyfriend got called out by the basketball team."
"They aren't good people to provoke."
Cheng Lingsu also saw it but her she had different thoughts than them. You don't know who's the one not to be trifled with.
"Let's go take a look lest he suffers in their hands."
Jiang Xiu was taken to a banyan tree beside the playground. A few men had surrounded him while that cool boy looked at Jiang Xiu with ridicule, "You dared to flirt right in front of this daddy. Kiddo, you really have guts!"
"You want to fight?"
Jiang Xiu had seen things like these many times since junior high. He smiled, "Isn't this too unfair? Are so many of you going to fight me together?"
Young Master Ai said, "We never fight, only beat the crap out of people."
Jiang Xiu looked at his surroundings to look for something which he could use to make an example out of, but couldn't find anything. He saw a bicycle parked beside the flower bed, so he walked over there and grabbed the handle. A stupefying scene followed after that. That steel bar was twisted over by Jiang Xiu and then broken off.
With the broken bar in his hand, Jiang Xiu asked them, "You still want to fight?"
Fudge!
Fuck!
The basketball team members' jaws almost dropped down to the ground as a stupefied expression dyed their face. That's a steel bar, dude. Fucking shit, you playing with us here?
Is he even human? Ain't looking for a fight with him equal to welcoming our doom?
"Quickly escape!"
The training given to the sports teams were pretty hardcore. They immediately escaped from the scene and ran 500-600 m away in one breath, hiding inside an alley. They turned back and confirmed that Jiang Xiu wasn't chasing them to reassure themselves then wiped the sweat off their forehead.
"The bicycle handle is made of steel."
"Fuck!"
"What the heck?!"
Cheng Lingsu was a bit worried, so she came over and just happened to see their appearance which seemed to say 'they regretted not being born with three legs.' She looked at Jiang Xiu with reproach, "You used violence to settle the issue again?"
"They were the ones who wanted to attack me."
Cheng Lingsu looked at the bicycle on the ground. Its handle bar was twisted into a weird shape and thrown inside the flower bed. She was left speechless.
The other girls also came running over, "How is it? Everything alright?"
"Everything's fine."
Cheng Lingsu said, "Let's end today's practice here, girls. Since a tycoon has arrived, we must milk him dry. It's happy time at whichever place we want."
She had made out Jiang Xiu's purpose in coming over today. She believed Lin Yueling must've told him to so she began to act a little brazenly. The boyfriends of her close friends had all acted as a host before except for hers.
"Yay. Okay then. Shall we go clubbing?"
"Okay!"
The girls chattered quickly and settled on a plan.
"Jiang Xiu, wait for us. We're all sweaty so we'll return after taking a bath." Cheng Lingsu returned into the dorm with the group of girls and left Jiang Xiu waiting at the entrance of the dorm.
Deity Xiu had really given her a lot of face today. He also didn't want her to create trouble for him and if she complained to Lin Yueling, he'd be the one to suffer.
Miao Xiaolin, as well as Xiao Fangfang, called their boyfriends as well. Since a tycoon was hosting tonight, the numbers became pretty high.
The party went to a nearby nightclub.
Nightclubs held endless charm to university students. It was a place where they could indulge in the deepest desires of their heart. Jiang Xiu and Cheng Lingsu sat down on the sofa while those men and women got on the dance floor to dance. "Thank you for today!"
Seeing that none of her classmates were here, Cheng Lingsu spoke out her heart.
Jiang Xiu replied apathetically, "I just didn't want to invite trouble for myself."
The two of them were, after all, a legally married couple, both in name and lawfully.
"Oh!"
Cheng Lingsu answered him with an 'oh' while puffing up her cute cheeks. She was already 70-80% satisfied by the fact that Jiang Xiu had come as she knew his character very well.
"I always wanted to visit a nightclub since I heard it's a fun place but never dared to because they say it's a very chaotic place. I was finally able to visit one since you're accompanying me."
Jiang Xiu didn't reply to her. He didn't want Cheng Lingsu to misunderstand and feel that they had really buried the hatchet.
"I'll go dance then."
Jiang Xiu nodded, feeling like this entire day was wasted, but not long after, Cheng Lingsu returned with a cold expression on her face. A youth followed after her with a sneer on his face. Jiang Xiu was a little astonished by this.
"Girl, you really aren't giving me face!" Miao Xiaolin, as well as Xiao Fangfang, returned as well. It seemed like something had happened on the dance floor.
Cheng Lingsu looked at that man coldly.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. My boss is Young Master Lin's underling, and this place is run by Young Master Lin too. You won't be able to leave this place unless you accompany me for a few drinks."
Miao Xiaolin asked, "Young Master Lin? Which one are you talking about?"
"Who else in the capital dares to call themselves Young Master Lin? It's naturally the Lin family's Lin Shiqian!" That youth stated loftily.
"Lin Shiqian?"
The expressions of the surrounding people warped.
Everyone knew the famous name of Lin Shiqian in this region. 80% of the internet cafés, bars, clubs here were owned by Lin Shiqian.
Jiang Xiu thought - Hardly had talks of visiting the Lin family happened and voila, I've ended up in a place owned by them.
