What’s going on? I’m so confused! Can someone tell Shen Yaoyao what happened over the past couple of days?!

Ask Gongsun Huahua! Gongsun Huahua should know, right?

"Gongsun Huahua, why are the students at school pointing at me?"

"While you were resting in bed these past few days, rumors spread at school. Are you and Nangong Yunhai together?"

"How is that possible! If we were together, would Shen Yaoyao need to be running to the basketball gym every day so desperately?"

"But Senior Nangong Yunhai hasn’t responded to the rumors at all?"

What does that mean? Has he tacitly accepted it? Or does he not care about these unfounded rumors at all? Probably doesn’t care, right? Yeah, he probably doesn’t care!

On the day of the basketball game, Shen Yaoyao was really just a substitute. She only passed water and towels, but not for everyone, just one person, Nangong Yunhai. The other teammates naturally avoided the water and towels Shen Yaoyao handed out, while Nangong Yunhai accepted them naturally, without even saying thank you!

The outcome of the basketball game was quite ideal, with the men’s team coming first and the women’s team second. Their teachers were grinning from ear to ear and said they would treat everyone to a meal! But seeing everyone was too tired, they postponed it to the weekend for everyone to rest well and skip training for a few days.

With a rare few days of free time, Shen Yaoyao’s legs didn’t hurt anymore, but the swelling hadn’t gone down yet!

Suddenly, Lin Zhong pulled Shen Yaoyao, saying, "Let’s go to the Finance Department class today?"

"Why are we going to the Finance Department class?"

"Are you silly or are you silly? Your Senior Nangong Yunhai!! If you don’t chase after him, someone else will snatch him away!"

"I’ve got plenty of rivals. Do I have to be on tenterhooks every day? I’m not scared!"

"I heard a Canadian exchange student joined the Finance Department. Her figure is hot, thick-browed, and big-eyed — double your size at least! She’s at least a D-cup; aren’t you worried?"

"D? What class does Finance have in the afternoon?"

"Corporate Finance!"

"Let’s go!"

Last time I sneaked into a class and got caught. This time, I sat openly in the row behind Nangong Yunhai. "Senior Ji." Shen Yaoyao greeted, and Nangong Yunhai turned to glance at her, Lin Zhong, and Su Ke sitting together.

"Don’t you guys have class?"

"We have the afternoon off."

Nangong Yunhai ignored them again. Shen Yaoyao looked around but didn’t spot the Canadian girl Lin Zhong mentioned, "Lin Zhong, where is that Canadian girl you mentioned?"

"Canadian girl?" Su Ke asked.

"Lin Zhong said there’s a Canadian girl here?"

"That’s my girlfriend, here to see me."

Lin Zhong! You little punk! How dare you tease her! Shen Yaoyao gritted her teeth, messing up Lin Zhong’s hair until the professor walked in and she stopped!

Corporate Finance really wasn’t a course Shen Yaoyao liked. She started dozing off halfway through. Lin Zhong had already left for a date with Miss Zhou, her Mr. Zhou, a perfect companion for an afternoon date...

"You, the girl in the fifth row fourth seat, answer the question."

Don’t leave, Mr. Zhou, Shen Yaoyao propped her chin, dozing off. Why are you running, Mr. Zhou? Suddenly someone knocked on the desk, scaring away Shen Yaoyao’s Mr. Zhou.

"He’s calling you," Su Ke reminded Shen Yaoyao.

"You, the girl in the fifth row fourth seat, can you answer the question? In corporate governance, what is the main inconsistency between shareholders and managers?"

What inconsistency? "Goals?"

"Then what is the value of the stock in this problem?"

Staring at the problem on the board... is this math? How am I supposed to calculate this?

"10.5%," Nangong Yunhai whispered a reminder.

"10.5%."

"Very good, please sit down. Let’s continue..."

"Thanks, senior," Shen Yaoyao poked Nangong Yunhai’s back with her pen.

The class was over soon, and Shen Yaoyao’s drowsiness disappeared, while Lin Zhong was back and alive again.

"Seems like your Senior Nangong Yunhai is expected to help out this time?"

"What?" Knowing helping Shen Yaoyao would never be out of pure goodwill!

"Help me meet up with Gongsun Huahua."

"Did you two argue?"

Lin Zhong shook his head, "I upset her."

Alright then, since Shen Yaoyao already enjoyed the sweet gift you gave, even if just one class to spend time close with her senior, she sacrifices small for the big picture!

She called Gongsun Huahua, inviting her under the pretext of wanting to go shopping together.

"I’ll leave the rest to you? I’m off now." Better to give these two time to get along; she wants to go back and catch up on sleep.

On her way back, a luxury car blocked her path — hey, her little temper!

The driver got out, completely ignoring her and went to open the car door, from which stepped out a refined elegant woman, well, a noble lady for short. She glanced at her before telling the driver, "Wait here," and elegantly walked away, heading towards... the Finance Department!!!

She rolled her eyes at the driver and left too; she didn’t care whose wealthy wife she was. She wanted to go back and continue the date with her Mr. Zhou.

She slept till six in the evening; what a peaceful nap!

Seeing Gongsun Huahua hadn’t returned, she picked up her phone to call her, but before hitting dial, Gongsun Huahua called instead, truly in perfect sync.

"Hello." Lazy voice.

"Why are you still asleep!" Gongsun Huahua’s voice was through the roof over the phone.

"What’s wrong?"

"Come out, to the usual spot!" Then hung up.

Shen Yaoyao hadn’t snapped back to her senses. Going out? Where? The usual spot! Gongsun Huahua sounded urgent, could something have happened?

Shen Yaoyao quickly got dressed and ran to their usual spot, where everyone was!

"Did something happen?"

"Today, Nangong Yunhai’s mom suddenly showed up at school, and took him home."

"Huh? Why?"

"Nangong Yunhai’s mom arranged a political marriage for him. He didn’t agree, so she took him home." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

How can there be such parents! How could they use their children as tools for benefit!

"So why did you call me out? I can’t save Nangong Yunhai." It’s their family business; Shen Yaoyao can’t and shouldn’t interfere.

Besides, she doesn’t even like Nangong Yunhai; the one she’s always liked is Chu Ge!

"Pretend! Just pretend!" Lin Zhong pleaded, looking at Shen Yaoyao.

"How do we pretend?"

"Just pretend like you’re chasing after Nangong Yunhai."

...

Chu Ge went to the hospital to visit Xiangling; he didn’t even know why he felt inexplicably concerned for her.

As a result, when he returned, he saw a public confession at the company entrance.
