Chapter 61 Teacher, what are you trying to do?

Ning Meng came out of the academic building feeling very refreshed.

The feeling of being far away from that white flower was really invigorating.

When Shi Qi uttered the word “filthy”, she reckoned that Gu Nanqian must’ve been frightened to death, appearing as though she would crumble at any second.

However, this opportunity had allowed her to see clearly that Gu Nanqian certainly felt something for Shi Qi, otherwise she wouldn’t say such words.

She didn’t find this surprising, after all, she was the female lead set by the author.

Even though she didn’t know why the author wanted to write such a female lead, Ning Meng still felt thankful that the female lead didn’t appear in the serialized version of the novel, otherwise, she would have felt revolted to death.

Fortunately, Shi Qi managed to keep into character.

She really didn’t make a wrong decision in the beginning, His great grandson didn’t grow up crooked but cultivated an upright character instead.

“You…” Shi Qi frowned, but didn’t say anything.

Ning Meng raised her head and asked, “I what?”

Meng Ning’s height was 1.62 meters, a dwarf when compared to Shi Qi. When she was in Ningning’s body in the past, she had to raise her head to look at him and now in her current body, she still had to do the same.

The gap in their height really made her want to cry.

The street lights were dim, and the leaves emitted rustling sounds, caressed by the breeze.

Shi Qi clenched his hand, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly. He turned his face away, “It’s nothing.”

Ning Meng naturally didn’t dare ask further in fear that she would expose herself.

She remembered the words that Su Huihui had told her tonight.

Although her words were cynic, she didn’t put much thought to it, otherwise, she wouldn’t have learned everything that has happened from her so casually.

As expected, the reason as to why Meng Ning was hated by the whole department was by no means, simple.

There may be homophobes like Li Jiao… But most of them disliked her because of other reasons.

Gu Nanqian indeed smeared Meng Ning’s name behind her back, even if the smearing looked like telling the truth in other people’s eyes.

But, as someone who possessed Meng Ning’s memory, comparing the story she had heard and her own memories, she naturally knew which was one the truth.

According to Su Huihui, they merely thought that Meng Ning was just a lesbian at first, and felt a little awkward but didn’t think anything else of it.

After all, there were other homosexuals and lesbians on campus too.

Meng Ning didn’t interact much with them, merely exchanging a sentence or two, and because they were usually in different classes, there weren’t any opportunities for them to communicate.

They held this as a secret, occasionally exchanging a few words with her.

Some who were rotten girls¹Rotten girls are also known as fujoshi or girls who like reading about boys’ love., didn’t think much of lesbians since they’ve seen much of them on other social platforms and they knew they wouldn’t cause harm to themselves.

The turning point of the matter came after an evening self-study.

The freshmen of C University all needed to take late night revision classes, and once class had ended, almost all the girls in the department started to leave the classroom.

Most of the students chose to walk from the small road because it was very close to the dormitory building. It also took them five minutes less to reach their destination than taking the main road and those who didn’t have boyfriends naturally wanted to return to the dormitory earlier.

The small road was lined with trees on one side and a lake on the other. Walking on that path at night felt very quiet and cool, and was also enjoyable.

In the beginning of late night revision classes, Gu Nanqian didn’t show up but her name was always listed down as present. At that time, how could people from the classroom care about others.

In the end, they had bumped into her at the small road.

At that time, the trees were relatively sparse, and there were no street lights next to them, so they could only rely on the light emitted by the academic building behind the trees as well as on their phone.

There was a fork in the small road two-thirds of the way in, and you can directly take the main road back to the dormitory, so the number of people who got robbed tonight were few.

The rest of the people continued to walk ahead, and within a short time, they spotted Gu Nanqian on a slope where the path forked.

At that time, Gu Nanqian was talking to another person and was facing them, even though their side was quiet enough and they spoke in hushed voices, it was possible to hear some contents of their conversation when they approached them closer.

They also saw them because the library on the other side of the lake was lit up. They originally thought it was just a young couple’s tryst and didn’t think much about it but just as a few girls were about to leave, the next moment, they heard Gu Nanqian crying.

The person opposite her was a boy, comforting her.

Then they learned something from the words they heard… It turned out that Gu Nanqian felt troubled. Meng Ning and her had been friends for so long before she came out of the closet to her, even confessing her feelings for her.

After unloading so many things on her, Gu Nanqian held her hand affectionately, not appearing the least bit discomfited. Now that she had thought about it, she had done it deliberately and didn’t say any words of rejection, fearing that Meng Ning would also think she was a lesbian.

The boy was probably from another department, and there were only a number of them. His voice sounded familiar because upon first listen, they could determine he wasn’t from their department.

The two then spoke for a while.

The content was nothing more than what Meng Ning had done before, but looking at her expression and the way she looked after receiving that confession tonight…

It made people think that Meng Ning was a person with a screw loose in her head.

Several of the girls, including Su Huihui, felt it unbelievable, because Meng Ning was usually a low-key person who only worked and studied. She did not seem to be a person like this.

But the next day, they saw events unfolding as Gu Nanqian had said with their own eyes.

After class, Meng Ning went to Gu Nanqian, and was smiling when the two talked, nearly making a move on her, similar to what they had heard last night.

Gu Nanqian had already rejected her.  Wouldn’t you normally stay far away from the person after getting rejected by them?

But what they saw was that Meng Ning was the same as before, and Gu Nanqian, who was hindered by her, could only show a wry smile, appearing even more distressed.

With the truth right in front of their faces, how could people not believe it?

After this incident, Meng Ning’s “evil deeds” spread through the other departments, and those who had seen the two people together also believed in this fact.

After the incident was revealed, Meng Ning blamed Gu Nanqian for letting it leak out.

Gu Nanqian tried to kindly explain what had happened on her behalf but her words fell on deaf ears, and those who believed the truth felt Meng Ning even more disgusting.

Ning Meng rubbed her temples.

She originally thought that Meng Ning’s sexual orientation was overheard during her confession to Gu Nanqian, but it was actually Gu Nanqian who let it leak.

On the one hand, Gu Nanxu told Meng Ning that she had wanted to continue being friends, but on the other hand, she complained to others that Meng Ning was clinging to her.

When in fact, after Meng Ning had expressed her feelings for her, she dared not touch Gu Nanqian at all for fear of her misunderstanding her intentions.

This showed that Gu Nanqian had done those things on purpose.

Perhaps it was to get the boy’s pity, perhaps it was to smear Meng Ning’s reputation…But in any case, she had managed to achieve both goals.

After today’s interaction, Ning Meng felt as if she knew Gu Nanqian well enough. If she didn’t guess wrongly, she must have also deliberately chosen the small road to talk to the boy.

And was fortunately overheard by the people who had just finished self-revision, allowing them to disseminate this information on her behalf.

As expected, it was best to stay away from little white flowers.

After Meng Ning’s lingering regrets have disappeared, she must make Gu Nanqian speechless and make her cry.

The more she thought about this, the more she looked forward to that day, Ning Meng’s footsteps unconsciously turned light, nearly leaving the ground and flying.

Shi Qi was originally tall so the steps he took were big. When he noticed how she walked past him with spirited steps, he thought it odd.

What are you thinking about that made you so happy?

He stared at the person in front of him expressionlessly, thinking to himself that this time, he wouldn’t take his eyes off her, so that she wouldn’t have a chance to possess another body again.

When he was 7, he waited 10 years.

When he was 18, he waited 3 years.

Shi Qi clenched his fist at the side, resisting the urge to pull her back, speeding up instead and in just the blink of an eye, he reached her side.

The road was very quiet. When they reached the fork in the road, the left side led to the girls’ dormitory whereas the right led to the teacher’s lounge.

Ning Meng walked quickly and stopped for a while, ready to watch him go on his own way before taking her own road but she didn’t think that Shi Qi would also stop along with her.

She asked suspiciously, “Teacher, aren’t you going back?”

He wasn’t going to follow her directly into the girls’ dormitory, was he? Did he develop such a fetish after growing up?

Shi Qi didn’t speak and under her suspicious gaze, he suddenly let out a cold chuckle which sounded particularly distinct in this quiet night.

Ning Meng subconsciously gulped.

Her head was full of questions as to why Shi Qi had just sneered. It was as if it contained another meaning but she didn’t know what it was.

Under such circumstances, she felt as if she had said something wrong, so she quickly found an excuse and took the left road.

Then, she realized that Shi Qi had followed her.

There would always be an embarrassing feeling when the road was too quiet. When she was just about to reach the dormitory, she took the initiative to break the silence, “Teacher…what’s your name?”

Another layer of silence fell again.

Shi Qi turned his head and stared at her, asking in a deep voice, “Are you sure you want to ask this?”

His tone was a little cold, and she didn’t know if it was due to the cold wind blowing right now or whether his tone was naturally cold but it made her shiver, making her lose herself in the greenness of his eyes.

Ning Meng: “…”

He looked like he was about to kill someone.

“Forget it, I won’t ask anymore…” She was determined to act like a coward, “I’ve arrived at the dormitory. Thank you, teacher.”

After saying this, she was just about to run ahead.

But her wrist was caught. Ning Meng turned around, wanting to break his hold off but realized that she wasn’t strong enough, so she could only glare at him, “Teacher, what are you trying to do?”

Shi Qi did not speak, merely quietly watching her with a pair of round eyes. In the dark night, there were dots of stars in the sky, shining brightly.

After a while, his gaze flitted to the girls’ dormitory behind her. As though he had figured out something, his mood became better.

The corners of Shi Qi’s straight lips hooked up slightly, “I heard that in the dormitory ahead, a girl had died in the past, it seemed to have happened in the water room.”

His voice seemed to have turned husky as he said this in a very low voice.

The water room in the dormitory building was shared by the entire floor, and there was only one of it, so those who wanted to drink hot water, must go there to fetch it.

Ning Meng: “…”

She decided not to draw any water tonight.

*****

Hmph.
