The matter was quickly exposed during Thursday night’s self-study session.

A photo and a video were suddenly reposted on the campus network in S City. In the photo, Jiang Lin was in a custom-made suit. The video was of student representatives from both sides discussing the difference in education between the east and west in Chinese and English.

“I finally know what it means to fall in love at first sight! After seeing Jiang Lin, I feel that I won’t be interested in any other man anymore. It’s over. I feel that my mother won’t have a son-in-law in her life.”

“Brother Lin is so impressive! He’s the student representative!”

“Aare student representatives very impressive? I really don’t understand. Please elaborate.”

“You’re a fish that escaped the net of China’s nine years of compulsory education, right? You don’t even know this?! To be able to attend such an event means that you’re one of the best in the school. The student representative is the cream of the crop! Understand?”

“Such looks, such a narrow waist, and such a perfect figure. My nose is bleeding!”

“I want to print out his photo and hang it by my bed.”

“This suit is definitely custom-made. Brother Lin is handsome, rich, and smart! Brother Lin’s starting point is our peak. Please take us in! We’ll go through hell and fire for him!”

..

On Thursday night, the campus network was destined to be another night of excitement over Jiang Lin. Of course, the Internet wasn’t filled with admiring and worshipful comments. Some criticized Jiang Lin for just being good at English, and that being chosen was nothing impressive. It didn’t take more than a few seconds for these comments to be pushed to the bottom.

But at the same time, a WeChat group was also in an uproar. Someone had sent a few photos of Jiang Lin and Qiu Ying running in the field at night.

Due to the angle of the photos, the two of them were one meter across from each other. In the photos, they seemed to be running side by side. There were even two photos that made the eye contact between Jiang Lin and Qiu Ying during training seem very ambiguous.

The person who posted the photo tagged Jiang Lin and claimed to be a junior in Year Two. He posted it because his female classmates wanted to ask if Senior Jiang Lin was in a relationship. If not, they hoped that Senior Jiang Lin would give his juniors a chance to confess.

As soon as the photo was released, the men and women in the group immediately began to discuss passionately.

Bai Zhen also saw the photo and quickly explained that the two of them were only training for the school’s sports meeting and were not in a relationship.

Immediately, someone refuted and requested her to explain the intimacy between the two of them in the photo.

Bai Zhen was speechless. Moreover, the romantic atmosphere in the photo made her think of the novels she had read recently. She couldn’t help but ship Jiang Lin and Qiu Ying.

Hence, she looked at the photo with enthusiasm and revealed a gratified smile.

Jiang Lin and the other two from the yacht group chat didn’t leave the chat group, but they usually didn’t pay attention to the group. It wasn’t until after the evening self-study that Jiang Lin saw someone @ himself. After clicking on it, he saw those photos.

Jiang Lin stared at the photo for several minutes, then saved it for his photo album.

Qiu Ying, who was at the front desk of the dance studio while looking through English exam papers, had no idea about this. After she finished the papers, she suddenly remembered that she had to help Jiang Lin buy breakfast tomorrow morning, so she picked up her phone and clicked on Jiang Lin’s WeChat profile picture. “What do you want to eat for breakfast tomorrow?”

Jiang Lin had just arrived at the dormitory. After opening WeChat, he thought about it and replied: Same as you.

When Qiu Ying saw this, she hesitated for a moment before sending another message. “I’ll eat steamed buns and soy milk for breakfast tomorrow. Are you sure you want to eat the same things as me? Actually, I can buy bread and milk along the way.”

Although Jiang Lin had said that he would eat the same breakfast as her, she didn’t understand his preferences, so Qiu Ying double-checked.

As soon as the message was sent, she received Jiang Lin’s reply: Just order another portion of steamed buns.

So Qiu Ying replied with an OK emoji.

Jiang Lin realized that this was the first time Qiu Ying had ever sent an emoji to him, so after pressing the emoticon long with his finger, he chose to add it. So in the empty section where Jiang Lin’s personal emoticons were supposed to be, there was an OK gesture emoji.

Although their conversation had started last Thursday, the number of messages they had sent over the past week was too many.

The next day, Jiang Lin and Qiu Ying entered the classroom from the back door again when the bell for the morning self-study session sounded.

Wang Ting came to the classroom early this morning and had been paying attention to Jiang Lin’s seat. When she finally saw him, she realized that Qiu Ying had actually followed Jiang Lin in.

What shocked Wang Ting even more was that when Qiu Ying passed Jiang Lin’s seat, she took out breakfast from her bag and placed it on Jiang Lin’s table.
