Suddenly grabbed by the hand, Shu Yu panicked a little. Especially after knowing that Si Yiheng lived in the same residential complex as her, she panicked even more.
She didn't even dare to turn around to see who had grabbed her.
Shu Yu was terrified that if she turned her head, she would see someone she shouldn't see—for example, Si Yiheng.
It wasn't until the person's voice sounded, "Why are you running so fast? Do you want to get drenched in the rain?"
An unfamiliar voice, but a familiar tone. Shu Yu instantly confirmed that the person who grabbed her was not Si Yiheng.
She couldn't recognize whose unfamiliar voice it was, but she could definitely recognize Si Yiheng's voice.
After all, Si Yiheng had read papers to her for a long time last night.
Shu Yu turned around and met a face. The man's appearance was the type that you knew at a glance was not to be trifled with.
Sharp eyebrows and eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised with a hint of a half-smile, and the zipper of his black windbreaker pulled all the way to the top.
Shu Yu desperately dug through the fragments of her memory and finally matched this person with someone she remembered.
Who else could this be but the second male lead, Shen Qinghan, the female lead's deeply devoted simp.
Shu Yu tried to break free from Shen Qinghan's grip. Shen Qinghan raised an eyebrow, "What a coincidence."
Iron Egg: [It's not a coincidence at all. He is deliberately waiting to ambush you.]
Shu Yu: "..."
Shu Yu asked Iron Egg in her mind, "What's going on with Shen Qinghan? Why isn't he waiting for the female lead? Why is he staking me out?"
Iron Egg: [Maybe he feels a little guilty for misunderstanding you, but it should mostly be because you didn't accept his money. He realized that you might not be the gold digger he imagined you to be.]
Iron Egg: [He is probably afraid that your noble character will actually attract Si Yiheng.]
Shu Yu's long, slender eyelashes blinked lightly, the mist on them shaking slightly.
Noble character? Her?
She felt like Shen Qinghan was mocking her.
Iron Egg confirmed: [Shen Qinghan is definitely helping the female lead keep an eye on you.]
Wearing a mask, Shu Yu had to tilt her face up to see Shen Qinghan.
Shen Qinghan looked at the tall person with creamy white skin in front of him, a flash of amazement passing through his eyes.
Then he saw a hint of a guilty conscience, disbelief, and finally a look of realization flash one by one across Shu Yu's beautiful eyes.
The corners of Shen Qinghan's lips curled up slightly. Shu Yu's eyes were so lively, as if they could speak.
Quite cute. She was exactly like a little kitten with all her emotions written on her face.
Shen Qinghan asked, knowing the answer perfectly well, "Isn't Si Yiheng taking you to class?"
With Shen Qinghan asking this, Shu Yu believed Iron Egg's words even more.
Iron Egg: [Baby Yu, to tell you the truth, if Shen Qinghan finds out that you and Si Yiheng have a good relationship, he will definitely cause trouble and make you break up early.]
Shu Yu whispered, "Si Yiheng and I aren't particularly close."
Hearing this answer, Shen Qinghan's already good mood became even better.
Shen Qinghan: "It's raining. Do you want to take my car to school together?"
Shu Yu: "No need. If you really want to help me, could you lend me your umbrella?"
Shu Yu didn't really want to subject herself to the rain, nor did she want to force herself to share the same space with someone she wasn't familiar with.
If she could borrow Shen Qinghan's umbrella, that would be perfect.
Shen Qinghan looked at Shu Yu for two seconds and handed the umbrella to her.
Watching Shu Yu's back as she walked into the rain holding the umbrella, the corners of Shen Qinghan's lips curled up.

Xie Mengying had been a bit irritated lately.
Shen Qinghan said he would go check if Shu Yu and Si Yiheng were living together and give her an answer afterward, but up until now, he still hadn't replied.
Not only that, but Shen Qinghan also hadn't sought her out for a long time.
Xie Mengying didn't know where the problem lay. Obviously, Shen Qinghan used to be very passionate toward her.
Even if she ignored him, Shen Qinghan would find all sorts of topics to chat with her.
Gu Yunjing patted Xie Mengying's shoulder. "Mengying, did you bring an umbrella? Let's go to class together."
Wearing a little white dress, Xie Mengying stood downstairs by the dormitory building. The wind caught the hem of her skirt, making her look like a little white flower swaying in the rain, evoking pity from anyone who saw her.
Even Gu Yunjing couldn't help but feel that Xie Mengying was truly too beautiful.
Let alone men, even as a woman, she wanted to protect Xie Mengying.
How did Shu Yu have the nerve to fight with Xie Mengying over Si Yiheng? Looking as shabby as she did, shouldn't Shu Yu feel inferior in front of Xie Mengying?
It just so happened that today was Teacher Zhang's class. This course of theirs was co-taught by two teachers. The first half of the semester was taught by another, less strict teacher, so skipping class wouldn't have much of an impact.
However, the second half of the semester was taught by Teacher Zhang. Teacher Zhang was famously strict at A University. Missing even a single class meant a high probability of failing the course.
Therefore, as long as they didn't have a problem with their brains, all students would attend Teacher Zhang's class.
Shu Yu hadn't shown up for so long since moving out; she should probably show up today.
She really wanted to see how inadequate Shu Yu would feel in front of Xie Mengying.
Xie Mengying lowered her head and tapped on her screen, simultaneously giving Gu Yunjing a delicate look. "Yunjing, wait for me. Let me ask if Shen Qinghan is coming over."
Gu Yunjing: "Sure."
Xie Mengying called Shen Qinghan, her voice soft. "Qinghan, I don't have an umbrella, and it's raining today."
Shen Qinghan was driving. Suddenly receiving the call, he casually replied, "I don't have an umbrella either."
He had already lent his umbrella to Shu Yu.
Xie Mengying: "..."
In the past, whenever Shen Qinghan heard her say this, wouldn't he rush over to bring her an umbrella?
What exactly went wrong?
Gu Yunjing: "Shen Qinghan, how can you speak to Mengying with that kind of attitude?"
Shen Qinghan: "Oh, Gu Yunjing, you're there."
Shen Qinghan spoke in a frivolous tone, "Run along, go buy an umbrella, and bring it over to this young master."
Gu Yunjing: "..."
Has this huge idiot Shen Qinghan gone mad?
Xie Mengying: "..."
Xie Mengying bit her lip, hung up the phone, and looked at Gu Yunjing again, her eyes brimming with tears.
Xie Mengying: "Yunjing, let's go. Shen Qinghan probably won't be friendly with us anymore."
Seeing Xie Mengying like this, Gu Yunjing felt even worse, her anger building up. What the hell was Shen Qinghan? So what if he had some lousy money? Why was he bullying Xie Mengying like this?
When she saw Shen Qinghan today, she was going to teach him a lesson.

Shu Yu entered the classroom right on the dot. Just as she found a corner seat and sat down, she opened the study app to take a photo and sign in.
As soon as Shu Yu finished signing in, Shen Qinghan sat down next to her.
Shu Yu: "..."
Was there really a need to guard her so strictly?
He really was the female lead's loyal simp. She felt like Shen Qinghan was the type of person who would act as a lookout while the male and female leads slept together.
Shu Yu shifted to the side, and Shen Qinghan also moved over one seat.
Shen Qinghan: "I'm helping Si Yiheng take care of you."
Shu Yu: "..."
As if! You're helping Xie Mengying spy on me!
Gu Yunjing and Xie Mengying entered the classroom together. At a glance, Gu Yunjing saw Shen Qinghan sitting next to a girl.
The girl was wearing an off-the-shoulder white crop top and slightly flared jeans. Just from sitting there, one could see her amazing proportions from behind—a slender waist and long legs, with snow-white skin exposed and long hair cascading down.
Looking from behind, it was obvious she was exceptionally beautiful and had a remarkable temperament.
Gu Yunjing got even angrier. Shen Qinghan, that fickle jerk.
Now he liked another girl, and even brought her to their classroom to audit the class.
Gu Yunjing went up and reached out to separate the two, looking at Shu Yu with a raised voice, "What's wrong with you?"
Shu Yu looked up in confusion, still wearing a mask on her face. Her clear, bright eyes looked at Gu Yunjing, black and white distinct, with thick and curled eyelashes.
Like a little kitten.
Gu Yunjing: "!!!"
Where did this little kitten come from? So cute.
Seeing Gu Yunjing's face, Shu Yu quickly lowered her head, afraid that Gu Yunjing would start another fight with her. She didn't want to cry and fight with Gu Yunjing in front of so many people at all.
That would be too embarrassing.
Gu Yunjing: "You!"
Gu Yunjing: "Why did you let Shen Qinghan get close to you? Is he worthy?"
Shu Yu: "..."
Oh my god, sister.
Do you not remember that we were just fighting in the dorm a couple of days ago?
As soon as Gu Yunjing finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned toward them. Shu Yu's toes curled in embarrassment.
Shu Yu spoke softly, keeping her head down, wishing she could bury herself in a crack in the floor. She whispered a reminder, "Class is starting, sis. Can you go back to your seat for class first?"
Shu Yu's voice was extremely light and soft, causing what little temper Gu Yunjing had left to melt away like butter.
Gu Yunjing: "Oh, oh, okay."
Then, feeling like she was being a bit too obedient, Gu Yunjing threw out a harsh remark, "I'll come deal with you and Shen Qinghan after class."
Shu Yu: "..."
Iron Egg: [My god, couldn't she at least look away before saying something harsh?]
Iron Egg: [It feels like her 'dealing with you' means she's going to bully you with her fingers.]
Shu Yu: "..."
Thanks for the invite, but we've already fought, so no thanks.
After Gu Yunjing and Xie Mengying found their seats and sat down, the only sound left was Teacher Zhang lecturing at the podium.
Shu Yu pulled out her phone to secretly slack off, just in time to see a message from Si Yiheng.
ATM: You went to class? Where are you sitting?
