Chapter 172: Farce
It was the day the spring semester started, and snow was still fluttering in the sky.
Zeng Nantingâs and Zhao Ranâs hearts were like the withered, shivering branches outsideâchilled to the bone.
After waiting for a long time, not a single person showed up. Quite a few people had even left the group chat one after another. It was obvious that no one wanted to participate in their bizarre scheme.
The two still had some wits about them; if one road was blocked, there was a second one to take.
“Why don’t we question her in front of everyone?” Perhaps the room was too dry or the situation was too awkward, but Zeng Nantingâs voice came out sounding like a cracked gongâhoarse and unpleasant.
“Tomorrow’s class meeting won’t work, but the first class on Monday will,” Zhao Ran added, perfecting the timing.
The two looked at each other, starting to plan how they would confront Gu Wanrong with perfect chemistry.
They unhesitatingly chose Gu Wanrong, whom they viewed as a “soft persimmon.” As for the counselor, Chen Sheng, they could express their dissatisfaction privately, but they didn’t dare confront him without any support.
The next day, at the class meeting.
Auntie Xiu was departing, so Gu Wanrong took leave and didn’t attend.
For some reason, when Zeng Nanting and Zhao Ran saw that Gu Wanrong hadn’t come, they felt a sense of relief alongside their displeasure.
Monday, 8:00 AM.
Zeng Nantingâs and Zhao Ranâs dark circles looked even darker. Last night, they had repeatedly organized their rhetoric for todayâs questioning, determined to take back the honor that belonged to them.
Throughout the night, they were even chanting their lines in their sleep.
As expected, they woke up late.
The two were seen walking aggressively toward the teaching building, cheering each other up before entering the classroom. The bell rang, and the two entered the room just in the nick of time, scanning the classroom.
Where was she?!
Unshaven faces, haggard dark circles, and thick, foggy lensesâtheir valiant momentum deflated like a punctured balloon with a long “hiss.” It was truly a farce.
“You two, what are you still standing at the door for!” The professor, who had arrived early, walked out from the first row and onto the podium, looking at their listless state with great impatience.
“Get in here, quickly!”
After saying this, the professor ignored them and prepared to take attendance.
“Teacher!” The class monitor raised a hand. “Gu Wanrong from our class won’t be coming to the classroom for lessons anymore. The counselor asked me to let you know.”
Having arrived late, Zeng Nanting and Zhao Ran could only sit in the front row. The embarrassed flush on their faces hadn’t even faded before they heard the monitor’s words.
Their chaotic, dazed minds were so angry they nearly fainted.
They had made so many preparations, stayed up all night, and almost arrived lateâwhat were all those efforts for todayâs public confrontation for!
Gu Wanrong knew about these two, but she didn’t care at all.
Zeng Nanting and Zhao Ran didn’t yet know that their actions had already been reported to both Gu Wanrong and the counselor, Chen Sheng.
Today, Chen Sheng finally had time and was going to have a talk with them.
The professor paused for a moment, remembering who the monitor was talking about. “Thatâs the girl who applied for off-campus study and early graduation, right?”
“Yes,” the monitor nodded.
Whooshâ
The classroom instantly broke into an uproar.
“A big boss is indeed a big boss. No one in our school has ever actually succeeded in applying for early graduation before.”
“Is Gu Wanrong planning to take the grad school entrance exam or study abroad? Applying for early graduation…”
“This is so cool. She doesn’t have to come to class anymore. Iâm so jealous.”
“The prerequisite for it being ‘cool’ is that you have to be like her. With your grades, you’d better worry about whether you can graduate normally.”
“Hey, look at those two. Could it be they mistook Gu Wanrongâs early graduation application for… Hahaha.”
“Too funny, those two. Their hearts are black, so everything they see is black.”
Zeng Nanting and Zhao Ran listened to the whispering discussions around them, wishing they could escape the classroom and hide from everyone.
Their entire beings were sinking into the mire of embarrassment; the more they struggled, the harder it was to break free. Even their breathing was about to stop.
By the time the teacher shouted down the noisy discussion to start the lesson, the two hadn’t raised their heads for a single second until the class ended.
The two grabbed their textbooks and rushed outside.
They finally escaped the suffocating environment and breathed the fresh air.
In the dormitory, their two roommates returned together. The moment the door closed, Zeng Nanting shouted in fury, “You all knew that was an early graduation application! Why didn’t you tell us!”
“Did you want to see us make fools of ourselves that badly?” Zhao Ran also stood up from his chair, standing behind Zeng Nanting. “This is blatant exclusion! Campus bullying!”
“Pfftâ”
Roommate A gave a disdainful laugh. “You two act so high and mighty every day, looking down on everyone. Why should I tell you anything?”
“Exactly!” Roommate B tossed his textbook aside. “We aren’t masochists.”
“Tell me, did Gu Wanrong give you some benefits to intentionally target us!”
Roommate A and Roommate B had always preferred to ignore them, never bothering to interact with them. Today, standing up and being clearly taller and more muscular than Zeng Nanting and Zhao Ran, Roommate A caused Zeng Nanting to involuntarily shift his target.
“Are you guys obsessed? Gu Wanrong is a favorite of heaven; you’re just a pile of mud. Is it worth her effort to target you?” Roommate B stopped pulling out his chair. He couldn’t understand Zeng Nantingâs logic at all. Was saying a fair word considered being “bought off”?
Roommate A suddenly remembered that every time Gu Wanrong sent a red envelope in the group chat, everyone would snatch it up. So he said, “Some people take others’ money while simultaneously being jealous of their success.”
From then on, the four people in this dormitory went from “minding their own business” to being like enemies who felt anger whenever they saw each other.
Gu Wanrong, who didn’t take those two people seriously at all, slept in comfortably until the sun was high in the sky before slowly waking up.
Stretching and yawning, she unhurriedly began to wash up and dress, fully enjoying her own leisure time.
Time flew, and it was already afternoon.
Manager Liao from the Auto City came to visit. He was all smiles, saying respectfully to Gu Wanrong, “Miss Gu, long time no see! Iâve brought several of our Auto Cityâs most fully-featured RVs for your inspection.”
As he spoke, Manager Liao stepped aside, and the staff behind him slowly drove several brand-new RVs into the courtyard.
She wanted to travel and look around in the future, and she couldn’t leave Little Milk Tea alone at home. An RV had to be arranged!
Since RVs were usually custom-made for customers, there was rarely stock on hand. Furthermore, Gu Wanrong had very high requirements, so it took half a month before Manager Liao had the chance to bring RVs that met her standards.
The exterior designs used either large truck or bus shapes, ensuring there was enough spacious room inside.
The bodyguards in the villa, despite being very tall, looked petite in front of them.
