Fang Liu knew that Lin Lu had gotten into trouble because of Mo Yu, but she didn’t know why Lin Lu hadn’t come to the university, so she shrugged in confusion.
“But Lin Lu’s father is the mayor of the West End District. Did you know that Lin Lu once caused a girl to commit suicide because of her constant bullying? But the university swept that incident under the rug.”
“Sigh, ‘m worried that we haven’t seen the last of Lin Lu. It’s simply annoying.” When Qin Rong’s joy subsided, she became depressed and worried.
The two girls chatted for a long while when suddenly one of the boys playing basketball not too far away walked toward them. Before Fang Liu noticed this, Jiang Chuan had already arrived in front of her.
Jiang Chuan was sweating profusely, but he did not look embarrassed. Instead, he looked bright and handsome. Many girls nearby were secretly looking at him.
A few minutes ago, Jiang Chuan was playing basketball when one of his teammates suddenly said, “Look over there, I think the new girl, Fang Liu, is looking at you.”
Jiang Chuan’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Fang Liu’s name. He tumed his head and saw Fang Liu sitting not too far away from the basketball court.
The courtyard was enormous, yet Fang Liu was conveniently sitting close to the basketball court. It was hard to know whether or not Fang Liu was sitting there just to see Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuan was very popular among the girls at the university, and it was normal for them to stare at Jiang Chuan while he played basketball. However, Jiang Chuan had not expected Fang Liu to watch him discreetly since she had always given him the cold shoulder.
The surrounding boys began to jeer. One of the boys even came up to Jiang Chuan and said, “Hey, Lin Lu didn’t come to school today. Now you have a chance to talk to Fang Liu.”
Everyone knew that Lin Lu kept a watchful eye on Jiang Chuan and constantly clung to him, Although Jiang Chuan had never admitted that Lin Lu was his girlfriend, Lin Lu had always thought otherwise.
Now that Lin Lu wasn’t at the university, Jiang Chuan would have the opportunity to interact with any girl he wanted.
A sense of annoyance flashed through Jiang Chuan’s eyes when he heard Lin Lu’s name. But when he looked at Fang Liu, that sense of annoyance immediately turned into affection that was difficult to hide.
At this moment, Jiang Chuan stood before Fang Liu and looked at a water bottle beside Fang Liu’s hand. He smiled understandingly and asked, “Did you bring me that water bottle?”
Then, without giving Fang Liu a chance to react, Jiang Chuan picked up the water bottle and took a sip. Fang Liu was stunned, and so was Qin Rong. Following that, Qin Rong’s face suddenly turned red. ‘T-That’s my water bottle,’ Qin Rong said subconsciously.
Before this, Fang Liu had taken Qin Rong’s cold water bottle to cool her hands down. Then, she subconsciously put the cold water bottle beside her.
Qin Rong’s heart pounded because she had just drunk straight out of that water bottle. Qin Rong looked up and saw the handsome Jiang Chuan drinking as water poured down his throat. Qin Rong could see his sexy Adam’s apple bobbing up and down from this angle.
Qin Rong held Fang Liu’s hand tightly, afraid that she would faint the next second. After Jiang Chuan finished drinking the water, he handed the bottle to Fang Liu and said with a bright smile, “Thank you.”
Fang Liu was stunned for a moment. Then she pointed at Qin Rong beside her and said, “That wasn’t my water bottle. You should thank her instead.”
Jiang Chuan’s face twisted instantly, almost spitting out the water he had just drunk. Qin Rong blushed and took the water bottle as she said shyly, “I-Its okay. I wasn’t thirsty anyway. B-But that three-pointer of yours was so cool!”
Jiang Chuan was utterly embarrassed. He suppressed his grievance in his heart and staggered back to the basketball court.
Fang Liu looked at Jiang Chuan, who was staggering to the court and wanted to ask him if he was feeling well. She wondered why he looked so awful. But Fang Liu hadn’t looked for more than two seconds before her vision suddenly darkened. Then she raised her head.
The tall man wore a casual sweater, and the gold-rimmed glasses slightly reflected the sunlight. Even though the sunlight was warm, the man’s demeanor was cold and indifferent.
Fang Liu was stunned, and so was Qin Rong, After a long while, Qin Rong stood up in a panic and said, “M-Mr. Chu, what are you doing here?”
Mo Yu lowered his head and glanced at Fang Liu. His lips curled into a faint smile, but his eyes remained expressionless. “I just happened to be passing by when I noticed how lively it is here.”
Fang Liu hurriedly lowered her head and thought, ‘Why is he here all of a sudden?’ As Fang Liu began to feel flustered and uneasy, Mo Yu continued calmly, “Mr. Zhang needs someone to help him with the experimental equipment. Are you guys busy? If not, you could come over to help us.”
Fang Liu raised her head, but before she could say a word, Qin Rong nodded enthusiastically and replied, “Oh, we’re not busy. We don’t mind lending a hand. If you ever need assistance, you can always count on us, Mr. Chu..”
