Fang Zhanpeng followed Lin Hao with an ominous premonition.
Could Lin Hao have become a kept man?
In his eyes, Lin Hao was so handsome that he could easily be Living off a Woman.
Fang Zhanpeng looked over Lin Hao's clothes and saw that he was wearing brand-name clothing.
Good heavens!
He was Living off a Woman. Otherwise, where had he gotten the money to buy brand-name clothes?
Fang Zhanpeng could not help asking, “Lin Hao, are you living off a woman?”
Lin Hao felt confused. He sized up his Close Friend and said with a suppressed laugh, “No. We've known each other for so long. Do I seem like that kind of person?”
Fang Zhanpeng nodded. The more he looked at Lin Hao, the more he seemed like that kind of person.
He knew that Lin Hao's family did not have much money. How could Lin Hao afford a new Mobile Phone and brand-name clothes?
Fang Zhanpeng could not make sense of these changes, no matter what.
Besides, Lin Hao had grown taller. He must have been eating well lately and getting ample nutrition.
Therefore, the only explanation was that Lin Hao had caught the eye of a rich older woman.
Lin Hao noticed the strange look in his Close Friend's eyes and was speechless.
At this point, he did not feel like explaining.
They continued forward, quickening their pace.
No. 2 Middle School and no. 1 high school were less than two kilometers apart. They reached no. 1 high school after walking for a little over ten minutes.
Su Qingwei was chatting with her classmates when her Mobile Phone rang.
When she saw who was calling, a smile appeared on her face. She was delighted and said, “Keep chatting. I'll answer a call.”
“Hello, Classmate Su Qingwei, we still advise you to apply to Qinghua University. Don't apply to Jinling University just for that little bit of money.”
“That's right, you must apply to Qinghua University!”
“We haven't convinced you yet. You can't run away.”
Several people spoke up, wanting to persuade Su Qingwei.
They had not expected Su Qingwei to use going outside to take a call as an excuse to slip away.
“She ran off?”
“Classmate Su Qingwei, honestly, she's so willful!”
“What do her parents say?”
“Su's parents dote on her. They let her do whatever she wants.”
“Then there's nothing we can do.”
“Our school has lost a spot for someone to Enter Qinghua University. What a pity.”
…
People from all sides tried to sway Su Qingwei, but she was determined not to Enter Qinghua University.
After answering Lin Hao's call, Su Qingwei ran outside the school gate.
From afar, she saw Lin Hao waiting there. Su Qingwei hurried over, brushed back her beautiful hair, and said apologetically, “Lin Hao, I'm really sorry. I was held up by some matters and only managed to come out now.”
Lin Hao said, “It's fine. I just arrived.”
Beside them, Fang Zhanpeng's eyes widened. The girl before him stunned him, leaving him dazed.
Was this Lin Hao's new girlfriend?
She was unbelievably beautiful!
Could she be the campus belle of no. 1 high school?
Fang Zhanpeng was stunned. He compared Su Qingwei with Xu Yanyu and felt that Xu Yanyu had been completely outclassed.
Xu Yanyu's figure, physical attractiveness, and bearing could not compare with the girl before them at all.
Seeing Fang Zhanpeng stand there like a wooden statue, staring at the girl, Lin Hao nudged him and said, “Right, this is my friend. His name is Fang Zhanpeng.”
“Fang Zhanpeng, hello.”
Su Qingwei chuckled. Poised and generous, she exuded the air of a Refined Young Lady.
“Damn!”
Fang Zhanpeng came back to his senses and could not help praising her. “You're so beautiful! You must be the campus belle of no. 1 high school!”
“Not at all. I'm not the campus belle of no. 1 high school. There are still people more beautiful than me.”
Su Qingwei shook her head.
At that moment, several classmates walked out from inside and greeted Su Qingwei.
“Campus belle, so you ran out to meet a boy?”
“What a handsome boy! Is he the campus belle's boyfriend?”
“Classmate Su Qingwei, did you reject Qinghua University so you could be with him?”
“Classmate, how many points did you score?”
They came over, speaking as though they knew Su Qingwei well. Some even noticed Lin Hao and wanted to talk to him.
Fang Zhanpeng was shocked once again. “You gave up Qinghua University?”
Several classmates asked Lin Hao to help persuade Su Qingwei not to give up Qinghua University.
Su Qingwei stood quietly, her serene beauty on full display. She looked at Lin Hao with her Phoenix Eyes, wanting to see his reaction.
Lin Hao said, “I don't want to interfere with other people's choices. Everyone chooses their own path in life, and I respect other people's decisions.”
“Sigh.”
“What a pity. If you don't even attend Qinghua University, Classmate Su Qingwei, you will regret it in the future.”
“Our school has lost one student from the top ten prestigious universities. It's a little disappointing.”
…
Although these words were not attacks, they carried an undercurrent of moral coercion.
Su Qingwei did not want to say more. She said to Lin Hao and Fang Zhanpeng, “Let's go.”
“All right.”
Lin Hao and Fang Zhanpeng exchanged a glance. Both felt that this girl was brave to reject even Qinghua University.
The three of them left no. 1 high school together, distancing themselves from the gossip.
Next, they went to have some bubble tea.
Unfortunately, Xu Yanyu and Song Xiaoxiao were drinking bubble tea in the shop across the street.
Only one street separated the two bubble tea shops.
In fact, Song Xiaoxiao in the shop opposite could even see Lin Hao and the others.
Song Xiaoxiao called out, “Yanyu, look! That's Lin Hao!”
Xu Yanyu continued drinking her bubble tea and said, “What's there to look at?”
Song Xiaoxiao said angrily, “There are three of them: Lin Hao, Fang Zhanpeng, and another girl.”
Xu Yanyu remained completely uninterested. “It has nothing to do with us.”
Song Xiaoxiao clenched her fists. “She's so beautiful. Although I can only see her profile, she isn't inferior to you at all, Yanyu.”
“Don't lie to me. I won't turn around.”
Xu Yanyu instead became calm, thinking that her best friend was exaggerating.
Because she had not turned around, she did not know the girl's devastating beauty.
Meanwhile.
Fang Zhanpeng also noticed the two people across the street. He patted Lin Hao on the shoulder and said, “Lin Hao, your ex-girlfriend is in the bubble tea shop across the street.”
Lin Hao showed little reaction. “Oh, I know.”
Su Qingwei glanced across the street and said, “She's not very beautiful.”
Fang Zhanpeng told her, “Not the one facing us. The one with her back to us. She doesn't dare turn around.”
Su Qingwei propped her chin on her hand and said, “Lin Hao, can you tell me your story?”
Lin Hao answered perfunctorily, “She thought she could get into one of the Top Ten Prestigious Universities, so she broke up with me after the Gaokao. In the end, she scored 571 points and performed poorly.”
“Pfft.”
“So she crashed and burned?”
It was rare for Su Qingwei to gossip about someone else, and she found it interesting. She wanted to see what Lin Hao's ex-girlfriend looked like.
Fang Zhanpeng revealed more details. “It was more than crashing and burning. She came first in every regular exam in our class, but she ended up second in the Gaokao. I bet she's furious.”
“Impressive.”
Su Qingwei smiled. Something like this must have been a huge slap in the face for Lin Hao.
Across the street, Song Xiaoxiao saw them laughing and chatting. She said, “Lin Hao and the others must be making fun of you. They're laughing so obnoxiously!”
Xu Yanyu did not want to stay there any longer. She stood up and said, “Let's go.”
The two walked out of the bubble tea shop. At the entrance, their eyes turned toward Lin Hao and the others.
In an instant, Xu Yanyu caught sight of a beautiful figure.
However, that figure was speaking with Lin Hao, its face blocked from view.
Even so, judging from her figure, Xu Yanyu guessed that her face must be exceptionally beautiful.
“Who is she? From no. 1 high school or no. 3 high school?”
Xu Yanyu grew curious.
Song Xiaoxiao asked, “Why don't we go take a look?”
Xu Yanyu took a deep breath and said three words: “There's no need.”
“After we go over, we can break Lin Hao and that girl up so they can't be together.”
Song Xiaoxiao suggested a malicious plan.
Xu Yanyu would not do such a thing. She did not want to become a bad woman, so she shook her head and refused.
“I'll work hard. I want to enroll at Jinling University. I need to focus on myself.”
What had happened in the past was already over. Xu Yanyu worked hard to adjust herself, hoping she could forget.
Song Xiaoxiao smiled. “All right, Yanyu. I'm sure you'll find a boyfriend better than Lin Hao.”
On the other side, after finishing their bubble tea, Lin Hao and the others prepared to take care of business.
Su Qingwei said, “My father's friend will be here soon. He'll take us to look at houses.”
Fang Zhanpeng was dumbfounded and did not understand at first. “We're going to buy a house? Lin Hao, you're really Living off a Woman?”
Su Qingwei quickly clarified, afraid he would misunderstand. “It's not me. I'm not that capable.”
“Lin Hao, you're awesome!”
Fang Zhanpeng gave Lin Hao a thumbs-up. Having Xu Yanyu and Su Qingwei alone was already impressive. If there were another rich older woman, would that not be going too far?
