Chapter 253: Chapter 253
[Where, where? Are there any photos?]
Everyone’s a night owl, and soon someone pops up to speak.
Girl: [Didn’t dare to take any, got into trouble when we went up to talk, but the rumored boyfriend is really super boyfriend material, and he’s really tall, looks like he matches well with the Third Young Master.]
Rather than calling Rong Zhi the Third Miss, her circle prefers calling her ’Third Young Master,’ a name that Shen Junze once used in a public blessing on Weibo, and it fits the youthful vibe more.
The group of people hanging out with Rong Zhi is also known as the ’Beijing Elite Circle,’ any of whom are the ideal choice for young women these days.
In the ranking of most wanted boyfriends in the circle, Rong Zhi ranks first.
When they found out she was dating, they even wondered why the male god was dating a girlfriend, which meant they still have a chance.
The movie is an adrenaline-inducing horror film, and when the sound from the cinema’s speakers kicks in with 3D effects, it makes everyone else shiver and cover their eyes.
Only the two big shots remain expressionless throughout, munching on popcorn with interest.
The girl next to them screams in fright, her cola almost slipping, but Rong Zhi swiftly catches it and places it onto the armrest, exposing her entire face to the girl’s view.
The girl covers her mouth in surprise.
The thrill brought by the horror movie is forgotten, leaving only the stunning face of the young man in her eyes, even in dim light, there’s no loss of charm.
Bai Su, sensing no movement beside him, turns his eyes to see this scene, casually raising his eyebrow.
The rumored boyfriend is quite good looking!!
"Dropped something," Rong Zhi straightens up, grabbing a handful of popcorn from the bucket to feed Bai Su, "Want to try?"
Throughout the entire movie, he’s been busy feeding her snacks, barely eating himself.
Bai Su lowers his head to take the popcorn from her hand into his mouth, then plants a light kiss on her cool fingertip, lips curving as he says in a slow tone, "Not bad."
Rong Zhi rubs her fingertips for a few seconds, then reclaims her hand without expression, turning her head to focus seriously on the screen, continuing to eat her own share.
Full, even without having eaten anything.
Bai Su helps her put her scarf back on, looking down to ask, "Home to sleep? Or do you want to go somewhere to play?"
Rong Zhi shakes her head, "Let’s go home."
It’s already midnight, the wind and snow blowing fiercely, and the songs in the whole cinema have switched to slow light music, making Rong Zhi feel a bit sleepy. Bai Su presses her hand gently.
The two girls follow them down the stairs, taking out their phones to send messages as soon as the couple walks away.
[OMG, that was amazing!! Sisters, lift the CP flag high, the rumored boyfriend is so damn sweet, sweet enough to make even an old aunt like me show an auntie smile.]
[Photos, photos! What do they look like, send photos!]
[I have photos, but they’re very blurry, can’t post them online. Just look and keep them for yourselves without sharing.]
A group of people respond in agreement.
Then the photos are sent out.
A brief pause in the chat followed by a flurry of exclamation points.
[I called it amazing on the spot! What should I do? I’m suddenly tempted to jump ship from stan to multi-stan.]
[Jump, sisters, the moment I saw this man, I understood why Third Young Master would fall. He’s good-looking with a great body, if it were me, I’d fall too sob sob sob.]
[Come on, I just heard the name of the rumored boyfriend, Weibo’s CP topic has already started, sisters, flood the plaza!]
While Rong Zhi is still on the way home, the Weibo topics about her and Bai Su suddenly sprout up like mushrooms after a rain.
By the time she’s aware of this, it’s already the next day. Jiang Gujun places a tablet in front of her, her name and Bai Su both ranking on the trending search list.
Her sip of soy milk is halted, she slides the screen upwards, asking somewhat speechlessly, "Didn’t he say he couldn’t post?"
Her fair fingertip taps the ’Bai’ character in the headline. Jiang Gujun smoothly replies, "Depends on the situation, in cases where announcing sovereignty is in order, rules should give way to feelings."
After winning the national math competition, her personal popularity surged, and plenty of people from Beijing’s high society want to build a connection, with their invitation cards piling up on the coffee table.
Though young, she can be ruthless. Those old foxes won’t discuss business with her directly, so they’ll approach from the side, attempting to orchestrate a matchmaking session when they see she’s alone.
But now that the trending topic has exploded, except for those offline, anyone who’s seen it knows that Rong Zhi has a boyfriend, and his identity is mysterious, vaguely a formidable figure, not to be trifled with.
Anyone aiming to pursue her needs to evaluate if they’re even qualified.
Alright then. The most update n0vels are published on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Once she figures it out, Rong Zhi pushes the tablet back, continuing to drink her soy milk.
After finishing breakfast, her phone buzzes beside her. She glances at it and answers the call.
Ying Yunlin speaks immediately from the other end, "Where did you move to?"
Rong Zhi blinks, almost forgetting to inform Ying Yunlin that she’s moved.
Standing up from the dining table, today she plans to visit the Engineering College to check on the first phase research results of the CSS project. She heads upstairs to change.
On the other end, Ying Yunlin seems to be outside; the fierce wind blowing makes his voice sound a bit distant, "You said earlier you’d stay in Beijing over the Spring Festival, but Dad heard about the incident over there and wants you to come to O State for the festival. What do you think?"
Although Ying Yunlin doesn’t quite understand the customs here in Hua Country, with a family member passing away before the new year, all joyous events during the festival should be postponed, even the celebrations shouldn’t be too grand.
The Winner family discussed and decided to have Ying Yunlin bring Rong Zhi back for the festival.
Rong Zhi opens the door, pausing slightly as she lifts her gaze, then averting her eyes, replying calmly, "Depends on the situation."
The situation with Rong Jiazze isn’t clear here, so even if she were to go to the Winner family, she’d need to settle matters with the youngster first.
"Alright," Ying Yunlin doesn’t push her for a decision, instead asking, "Where’s the new place? Send me the address, haven’t seen that little one for a few days, big brother will take him out to play."
"I’ll send it to you."
Ending the call, Rong Zhi sends the address of Tingshan Villa, then closes the door, her gaze falling on the man emerging from the shower, "What are you doing up so early?"
Bai Su, toweling his hair, casually replies, "Cooling off."
The feeling of seeing but not being able to touch is quite frustrating.
He’s already been very patient.
Upon hearing this, Rong Zhi frowns, heading to the wardrobe to fetch him a shirt.
Bai Su fastens the buttons, his back long and lean, waist narrow, legs long. The thin sunlight filtering through his white shirt reveals a faint silhouette of muscle.
"Ying Yunlin will be visiting soon."
Rong Zhi sits on the bed with arms crossed, "He’s taking Rong Jiazze out, no need to worry."
Bai Su nods, bending slightly to draw close to her cheek, pinching it lightly before wrapping his arms around her waist, catching a faint and pleasant scent of sandalwood on her.
"I’ll arrange things with the school for you, you won’t have to take the college entrance exam next year and will be guaranteed a place at Jing University. Anything else you want to do?"
With a gentle force, the two switch positions, Bai Su tilts the strands of hair by her temple to behind her ear, fiddling with the stray hairs with a smile, "No more cutting, how about growing it long?"
