Chapter 635: 334 Beautiful person_3

“Worship us?” Tao Xianxian was dumbfounded, what was going on?

“You two are indeed the top performers. Each year it’s either you or I dominating the first or second place. Also, you both are a loving couple. Everyone worships you, wishing for academic progress and for Cupid to strike. If not you, then who?”

Tao Xianxian glanced at Du Ze, “We may disappoint you, we’ve….”

“If you linger on, your snail vermicelli will be gone,” Du Ze interrupted her curtly.

Effortlessly stopping Tao Xianxian halfway.

Tao Xianxian won’t be fooled this time. After dismissing Xiao Xu, she coldly said, “Why don’t you want people to know that we broke up?”

“It’s unnecessary to make it known to all, unless you want to be a hot topic in the forum, getting criticized by others.” As he finished his sentence, he moved towards the Snail Vermicelli window.

Tao Xianxian knew Du Ze had always hated attention, but was it a strong enough reason?

After spending four years together, there were times where Tao Xianxian couldn’t understand what was going on in his head.

And wasn’t he the one who hated Snail Vermicelli? Why would he take the initiative to buy it this time?

Du Ze purchased two bowls, justified by remarking that it was not unreasonable to treat a classmate to a meal.

Tao Xianxian unpackaged a pair of chopsticks and handed them to him, Du Ze took them with grace.

They both paused.

Duze took them as if nothing happened, and stared at the snail vermicelli before him, frowning as if faced with a difficult problem.

Tao Xianxian laughed, “Don’t force yourself, you’re not comfortable eating this, give it to me, you better go buy fried rice.”

Just as Tao Xianxian was about to take his bowl, Du Ze slapped her hand away.

“If it can be loved by others, it must have its merits. If you can eat it, so can I,” he said.

With that, he picked up a chopstick laden with vermicelli and put it into his mouth, his expression suggesting that he was resigned to his fate.

Tao Xianxian giggled, “How was it, tasty?”

Du Ze managed to swallow it, then took a gulp of water from his bottle.

Tao Xianxian laughed so hard, her belly ached, “You, you’re always so stubborn, not even ten bulls could drag you back.”

Their breakup was due to a trivial matter. Neither of them was willing to back down, so their relationship gradually faded. It happened to be graduation season, and they were both quite busy. After a month of no contact, they implicitly agreed to break up.

Perhaps, subconsciously, they both prioritized their careers over their feelings.

With his head down, Du Ze quickly finished his bowl of snail vermicelli, not even leaving a single drop of soup.

He put his chopsticks down and took a deep look at Tao Xianxian.

Tao Xianxian’s laughter faded away.

Du Ze got up and left without saying a word.

Tao Xianxian unwrapped another set of chopsticks, eating and crying at the same time.

“Du Ze, you are so arrogant. You will never bow to me. I must have been blind to fall in love with you.”

The tears in her eyes rolled into the bowl, the sour and spicy flavor resembling her current mood.

Life is a mix of flavors, both sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy.

“Your pride is more important than me. Just live with your pitiful ego for the rest of your life.”

“Ming Jing, how do you intend to handle this Hu Guoer incident?” Li Qingyao asked.

Several pairs of ears perked up at her words.

Ming Jing wiped her mouth with a napkin, “It’s something the school leaders need to consider, it has nothing to do with me.”

“That’s true, Hu Guo’er has a habit of bullying people. If you hadn’t stumbled upon it today, it would have been brushed under the rug. However, considering Professor Hu’s prestige, the school will likely overlook it, and she may not even receive a notification.” Li Qingyao said.

Inside, Li Qingyao was perfectly clear that today’s matter wouldn’t be so easily dismissed. At the time, she clearly saw that Lin Ya had fallen by herself, but she didn’t stand up to testify for Hu Guo’er.

Hu Guo’er did deserve some lesson. The world wasn’t black and white; the fightback of the weak often required great courage.

What surprised her was that Lin Ya was so manipulative.

“I’ve heard some rumors about this Professor Hu,” Charles Gao whispered.

“He’s not a purely good person. It’s not surprising that his daughter turned out like this. Like father, like daughter.” Charles Gao said with some disdain.

Li Qingyao raised her eyebrow at him, “It seems like you want to stand up for Lin Ya? It’s tough for a hero to pass the beauty.”

Charles Gao coughed, “Don’t talk nonsense. I just can’t stand the sight of people taking advantage of their power.”

“Really?” Li Qingyao raised her eyebrow.

She was more familiar with Charles Gao. The two of them had less to worry about and could still joke around.

Charles Gao blushed a little and quickly bent his head down to eat.

In Li Qingyao’s memory, Jiang Jinchen was as cold as an iceberg, and Charles Gao was as greasy as fried food. Their personalities were complete opposites, but it was surprising that they could be good friends.

After entering college, Jiang Jinchen became even more aloof while Charles Gao wasn’t as greasy. After the rebellious adolescence, he had matured quite a bit.

At that moment, Lin Tao walked over and stopped behind Ming Jing. He said respectfully, “Ms. Ming Jing, the cafeteria food is too simple. Principal Liu has set up a banquet for you at the Dechang Building across the street. We hope you will grace us with your presence.”

Everyone else watched in awe, saying nothing.

From their perspective, this girl, who was younger than them, was already a celebrity with some social status. Even the school leaders, who they themselves respected, only bowed to her in subordination.

At that moment, they all felt the difference in social hierarchy.

The food in their mouths suddenly lost its taste.

“Please tell Principal Liu for me, a bowl of ramen is enough, he doesn’t have to spend more on me.”

Ming Jing chuckled, thinking of something, “The incident with Gu Qingshan hasn’t been long. May Principal Liu take this as a lesson.”

The moment Gu Qingshan’s name was mentioned, the entire cafeteria fell silent.

Lin Tao gasped.

He knew well how Gu Qingshan fell, this name became a taboo, something no one dared to mention.

Only she could mention it with such ease and composure.

Mrs. Gu’s niece had bullied Ming Jing’s younger sister in school, this was a fuse, leading to a series of events.

The incident between Hu Guo’er and Lin Ya today was similar. If they really pursued it…

Lin Tao was momentarily filled with fear.
