Just as Susie handed over the photo, suddenly a pair of fair hands wearing jewel rings snatched the photo from her hand.
"Shengyuan, is this the 'lovable, kind-hearted fool' you identify with?"
It’s Cen Shengyan. When did she come?
Cen Shengyan held up the photos in her hand towards Cen Shengyuan and said, "Shengyuan, I don't dislike her poor family conditions. How many people have family conditions comparable to ours? But no matter what the family background is, how can a girl be so vicious?"
vicious?
Just based on these photos, can she say I am vicious?
"That's not the case at all. I didn't bribe the staff! Why do you say I'm vicious? Why do you say you want to fire me?"
Seeing my sudden outburst, Cen Shengyan seemed startled, frowned at me, and said, "Hasn't anyone told you to use honorifics when talking to seniors older than you?"
"But why ..."
Just when I was about to collapse and scream, Cen Shengyuan reached out and stopped me.
"Sister, can you wait a while before making a decision? I've asked someone to investigate, and I'll let you see the facts right away."
Looking for someone to investigate?
At this moment, the door of the perfect apartment suddenly opened.
Wenrou, who was nearly two meters tall, rushed in, scaring Susie and Yin Meimei so much that they subconsciously took a few steps back. But Wenrou didn't even look at them and stood in the middle of the living room.
"I was the one who posted the agreement. If you want to expel students because of this, just expel me. It has nothing to do with Xiaomo."
gentle……
I was about to step out when Cen Shengyuan grabbed me.
Cen Shengyuan covered my mouth and pulled me behind him.
Why don't you let me speak?
I can't let Wenrou take the punishment for me! After all, Wenrou wanted to seek justice for me, so she posted the agreement.
"Since you admit to forging the agreement, you can't escape punishment." Su Qian looked at Wen Rou proudly, "Su Xiaomo is suspected of bribing staff, neither of you can escape!"
"Don't be so excited. The school will not let off students with bad conduct, but it will not wrongly accuse people for no reason. However, since you have come forward and admitted to forging the agreement..."
A middle-aged man with a slightly bald head walked in through the open door of the perfect apartment.
This uncle looks so familiar.
"Uncle! It's him, and there's a girl!"
Cen Shengyan glanced at Susie, and seemed surprised that Susie had called the school director. Then she greeted him, "School director, you're here too."
"Ms. Cen, you're here too? Are you here for tomorrow's Holy Angel Bling anniversary celebration?"
"Yes, I heard there's a new dean. I haven't visited him yet."
"Hahaha, as a distinguished guest of our college, the new dean will certainly welcome Miss Cen's arrival."
Just when the school director and Cen Shengyan were talking happily, Su Qian suddenly spoke up: "School director, it's that boy, he just admitted it."
Hearing Su Si's words, Cen Shengyuan, Wen Rou, and I all glared at her. Su Si shouted even louder: "And that Su Xiaomo!"
After hearing what Susie said, the school director turned his head and looked at Wenrou with a very serious expression, and said, "Do you admit that you forged the agreement?"
"I didn't!" Wenrou insisted that she didn't.
But the school director seemed not to have heard him. He looked around the living room with his hands behind his back and said, "Where is the girl who was suspected of bribing the staff? This is a serious crime. She is so young and knows how to bribe the staff. What will she do when she grows up?"
Susie rushed over and pulled me out from behind Cen Shengyuan, saying, "Uncle, this is the girl!"
I finally knew why this uncle looked so familiar to me.
The school director seemed stunned when he saw me, then he walked over quickly and said, "Xiao Mo?"
Seeing me staring at him blankly, he happily held my hand and said, "Do you remember your uncle? When your mother was the dean of Shengjing College, I was the vice dean! It was I who invited your mother to be the dean of Best College this time!"
Susie seemed to have not yet reacted. She pointed at me and said, "She is..."
Yin Meimei looked at me with her mouth wide open and asked in surprise: "Su Xiaomo, is your mother the dean?"
Cen Shengyuan seemed unable to bear it any longer. He turned around to face the wall, and one could only see his shoulders shaking constantly.
I was also stunned and bit my lips hard to barely suppress the urge to burst out laughing.
Time seemed to have passed for a very long time, as if it had stood still.
Suddenly, Susie exploded, and her voice was so loud that it startled us all.
"Xiaomo! That liar Yin Meimei told me everything. I thought everything she said was true and I wanted to seek justice for her."
Susie walked up to Yin Meimei, stretched out her hand and pushed her, saying, "It's all your fault!"
Yin Meimei was startled. It took her a while to react. She stammered, "You were the one who told me that if I did what you said, you would give me some money... and you would hire bad boys..."
"You're still lying at this time!"
Susie seemed to want to cover up Yin Meimei's voice with her own, and she shouted without caring about her image. Yin Meimei, who had been so arrogant in front of me before, subconsciously took a step back when she saw Susie like this.
Yin Meimei, why don't you be friends with me? Why do you have to force yourself to hang out with someone like Susie?
From now on, no one will laugh at you for giving birth for free. Isn’t it good to just be yourself happily?
"Hiring bad boys?"
A surprised female voice came from the door. I turned around and saw that it was Eun-hui and my mother carrying a casserole.
As soon as Enhui came in, she nodded to Cen Shengyuan and said, "I rushed here after receiving your text message. I finally made it."
Was it Cen Shengyuan who asked Enhui to come? But what does this have to do with her?
When I was wondering, I saw Eun-hui holding up a pink cell phone.
"Susie, you must have thought that no one knew that you paid bad boys to beat up Xiaomo and me, right? You didn't expect that the place you chose for the transaction was right next to the outdoor activity site of the sketching class. Humph, the students in the discipline department recorded the entire process of your transaction. Do you still have anything to say?"
Wow, Eun-hye is amazing!
However, Susie really went too far by hiring bad boys to beat people up.
When the mother heard Eun-hui's words, she turned to look at Susie. Susie, who had just confidently questioned Yoon Mimi, now turned pale and was completely speechless.
"Susie, you're actually the first to complain and want to fire Xiaomo. Aren't you the one who should be fired?"
Looking at the mess in front of her, my mother finally spoke up: "Who can explain to me what is going on?"
"Yes, Dean!"
Ike Hayakawa, who was well prepared, stood up. He quickly closed the door of the apartment and then stood guard at the door, as if he didn't see Susie's murderous look.
"You know about the free student, right? Previously, the students of Best College were instigated by Susie to attack the student who enrolled for free because she felt that the student had brought disgrace upon Best College, and Su Xiaomo was falsely accused of being the free student."
Looking at Chi Zaochuan who was talking freely, the mother said stupidly, "But my Xiaomo is indeed a free student. After all, it's not right to ask the dean's child to pay tuition."
"The free students they were talking about were the ones given by the previous dean through a lottery. Later, in order to prevent Su Xiaomo from being further framed, someone posted Yin Meimei's free admission agreement."
"I posted it." Wenrou, whose smile was finally not so exaggerated, turned around and raised her hand to signal.
When my mother heard the name Yin Meimei, she finally realized, "Yin Meimei? Is she the girl Xiaomo called me to ask me to seal her file to prevent her classmates from laughing at her?"
"Yes, today Su Xi brought Yin Meimei here, using the school's failure to publish the instructions for the free student agreement as evidence, accusing Su Xiaomo of forging the agreement to frame Yin Meimei and bribing the staff."
Hearing the list of charges that Ike Hayakawa said, I felt a little dizzy.
But my mother understood. She looked at Susie and Yin Meimei with a smile and asked kindly, "Who is Susie and who is Yin Meimei?"
Oh no, the more my mom smiles, the more serious the situation is.
"I won't fire you."
My mother's first sentence attracted everyone's attention. Everyone was surprised except me.
Will you not be fired if you hire bad boys to beat people up?
After hearing that she would not be fired, Susie visibly relaxed.
But I know that some things are much more terrible than being fired.
"As a dean, how can I expel students who have made mistakes? As an educator, I will not give up on any student. I will do everything for the students and everything for the students..."
My mother’s ideological education is definitely more painful than being fired, and my mother hasn’t nagged me for a long time.
I looked at Susie with sympathy and was about to walk out the door, but my mother stopped me: "And you, Su Xiaomo, shouldn't you tell me, you just came to Best College, how come so many things happened in such a short time?"
Finished...
I desperately winked at Cen Shengyuan, hoping he could say something for me. My mother liked him so much, so what he said must work.
He looked at me with pity and said, "Just stay with your mother. Don't worry, I will go and destroy the contract now. Your mother won't find out. I was interrupted before and almost forgot about it."
Hey! Who wants to accompany my mother in this situation? I will die miserably...
But Cen Shengyuan didn't care about my pleading look at all. He smiled at me and left the dean's office with everyone else.
No, Cen Shengyuan just said he was going to destroy the contract!
Oh my god, I'll be discovered! But I can't leave now!
It's so annoying. Why did he suddenly want to break the contract? And couldn't he have broken it earlier? Why did he do it after I switched the package...
I was nervously thinking about it, but suddenly I heard my mother's voice: "Xiaomo, go sit on the sofa. Wait until I finish talking before they talk about you."
Mom, no!
Am I really your biological child?
I finally endured my mother's mental torture, refused her request to have dinner together, and quickly ran towards the perfect apartment.
God! Virgin Mary! Buddha! Jesus! Please protect me and make sure Cen Shengyuan doesn't have time to open the safe.
I ran towards the Perfect Apartment in a panic, but the more anxious I was, the more time I spent on things. My classmates kept talking to me, apologizing to me, and I had to reply.
"Xiao Mo, I heard from Enhui that you were wrongly accused. I'm sorry..."
"It's okay! Don't take it to heart!"
"Wow, Xiaomo, you must still be holding a grudge against me. I shouldn't have laughed at you in the first place."
"I really don't bear a grudge against you, we are good friends!"
"Well, let's go ! I'll buy you a cold drink to make amends!"
"No, no, no..."
"Wow, Xiaomo, you said you didn't hate me, but you didn't even go for a cold drink when I invited you..."
"No, no, I have a stomachache today. Let's do it another day! I'm really not angry. We will always be good classmates!"
"Really?"
"Really, really! What I said is not false!"
"Wow...I shouldn't have believed Yin Meimei's rumors. I should have known that you, Xiaomo, would not lie."
I was on the verge of collapse, and by the time I had barely managed to comfort every classmate, it was already dark.
I ran to the perfect apartment out of breath, and then stopped. Why was it so quiet?
Could it be that Cen Shengyuan has already...
My heart suddenly started beating very fast. What should I do if he found out?
Suddenly, what Eun Hye said earlier echoed in my mind.
"Cen Shengyuan has shown it so clearly, but Xiaomo still keeps backing off..."
Come on, Su Xiaomo! Be brave!
I plucked up my courage and went up to the second floor.
The entire first floor was empty and so quiet that the only sound was my footsteps on the stairs. It felt just like the day I first broke into the perfect apartment.
But I probably didn't expect to meet Cen Shengyuan at the end, right? But I don't regret it at all, because I really, really like Cen Shengyuan.
When I reached the second floor, I found that Cen Shengyuan's room door was open.
"Su Xiaomo, come in."
I suddenly became timid when I heard his voice. Different from the usual low voice, there seemed to be a hint of chill in his voice.
I walked into Cen Shengyuan's room reluctantly and found him sitting on the bed with the safe beside him and the contract I forged in his hand.
"come here."
When Cen Shengyuan said this to me with a gloomy face, I wanted to turn around and run, but my feet seemed to be out of control and I walked towards him.
It was not until I walked up to him that he raised the paper in his hand and asked, "What's going on?"
He pointed his slender finger at the last sentence on the second page and read it out in a low voice: "Cen Shengyuan is Su Xiaomo's personal property." After reading it, he glanced at me and said, "What's going on? Su Xiaomo, are you going to rebel?"
I felt as if my legs were shaking.
Cen Shengyuan seemed to notice that my legs were shaking, he looked at me with disdain, then pulled me up, so that I went from standing in front of him to sitting next to him.
But he seemed to have not forgotten the question just now: "Su Xiaomo? What's the matter with this sentence? Could the contract change by itself?"
"No, no, no... I won't..."
I started stuttering again.
"Nonsense! I know that a contract won't change on its own. What's going on?"
Woo woo woo, Cen Shengyuan is so fierce!
"I...I know my mother is coming to the academy, I...I'm so scared..."
I felt tears welling up in my eyes, but Cen Shengyuan wouldn't let me go.
"Were you so scared that the contract changed on its own?"
"No, no... I changed the contract..."
I finally said this sentence with my eyes closed. The room suddenly became quiet and I could almost hear Cen Shengyuan's heavy breathing.
Is he angry?
When I thought Cen Shengyuan would not speak again, his voice suddenly rang out in the room.
Different from the cold and gloomy voice before, there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his voice: "Su Xiaomo, in your heart, do you dislike this contract so much?"
"Su Xiaomo, do you really dislike this contract?"
He didn't scold me?
I opened my eyes in surprise, but saw that Cen Shengyuan had let go of his hand and the contract fell to the ground. He held the bed with his hands and raised his head high, looking at the ceiling.
"Your previous actions to please me were actually because you were afraid that I would see the contract that you had swapped, right? Why?"
Yes, why? Why did I go to such lengths to change the contract? I had always thought that I was afraid that my mother would find out, but how could my mother find the contract in Cen Shengyuan's room?
In fact, I have been deceiving myself all the time.
"I...I'm afraid that you treat me like this just because of the contract, not because...you like me."
So, is this what I have always thought in my heart?
No wonder Enhui said I was a coward and that I had always been backing off. It was not until today that I dared to face my own heart.
I didn't dare to look at Cen Shengyuan's reaction and slowly lowered my head.
I've told him everything now, will he look down on me?
Why isn't he speaking yet?
Just as I was daydreaming, I suddenly felt a pair of warm hands hugging me.
"You're such an idiot!" Cen Shengyuan muttered in my ear, and there seemed to be a hint of smile in his voice.
Why do you always call me stupid?
Even if I'm not stupid, you still call me stupid!
I raised my head in defiance, but couldn't move. It was not until then that I realized that I was held in Cen Shengyuan's arms.
"If I didn't like you, why would I keep you tied to me?"
I was about to struggle desperately, but when I heard these words, I suddenly stopped struggling.
What did Cen Shengyuan say just now?
Is he confessing?
"Hey, what are you thinking, you little idiot? After all, I am the most popular Cen Shengyuan in Best College. If I just want a maid, I can just beckon and the girls here will line up from the front door to the back door. Think about it, I have been watching over you and protecting you every day for so long, just for a maid to help me wash clothes?"
When I heard what Cen Shengyuan said, I felt inexplicably guilty.
It seems to be true...
But I won't admit that I'm stupid! I'm the smartest!
But why me?
Cen Shengyuan seemed to have heard the question in my mind and continued, "Do you remember the first day you met me?"
of course I remember!
Even if I don't remember you, I will remember that pile of clothes.
"I still remember when I returned to the perfect apartment, I found a girl sitting in a pile of clothes. I wanted to threaten you and let you go, but when you turned around, I found that the girl sitting in the pile of clothes with her mouth wide open actually had a pair of eyes like Bambi. Later, she came to me with a tie on her head and begged for mercy..."
Hey! Stop talking!
I struggled desperately and covered his mouth with my hand.
But after I covered Cen Shengyuan's mouth, he reached out and held my wrist, but did not pull me away. Instead, he kissed the palm of my hand.
My palms are so hot...
His eyes are so serious...
The atmosphere is so awkward...
Cen Shengyuan remained in this position, and I felt nervous and embarrassed. I quickly turned my head away from him and changed the subject, "Then why did you add so many conditions to the contract..."
"I'm afraid you'll leave me."
Huh?
I looked at Cen Shengyuan in surprise.
Is he afraid that I will leave him?
The proud son of Best College is actually afraid that I will leave him?
Seeing my look of disbelief, Cen Shengyuan put my hand down and reached out to hold me in his arms.
"Do you remember the first time I added conditions to a contract?"
I thought about it carefully and said, "It was when Xia Yan came to the Perfect Apartment."
"Well..." Cen Shengyuan paused for a moment before continuing with the next sentence, and his voice became even softer, "Actually, I am jealous..."
Jealous?
Cen Shengyuan would actually be jealous?
Shouldn't he have confidently said "No one can surpass my charm"? What surprised me even more was that he actually said the fact that he was jealous.
"When I saw you bringing another boy to Perfect Apartment, I felt like you didn't want to be with me anymore." Cen Shengyuan turned his head away embarrassedly. "The reason I extended the deadline was because I was afraid you would leave me."
Is Cen Shengyuan afraid that I will leave him, so he tries to bind me with a contract again and again?
I suddenly remembered what Enhui once said, only a fool could not see Cen Shengyuan’s feelings for me.
I can't believe this is true.
But at this moment, my heart seemed to melt and I couldn't think at all. Subconsciously, I completely believed him.
At this moment, Cen Shengyuan coughed twice, then raised his voice and said, "Hey, have you heard enough? Get out here now!"
What?
I followed Cen Shengyuan's gaze and saw three heads slowly popping out of the door.
Grace, gentleness, Ikehayakawa?
Watching the three of them slowly walk in from the door, I suddenly felt all the blood in my body rushing to my head.
Had they just been eavesdropping outside the door?
"Hey, you guys..."
Enhui came over with a smile and interrupted me: "Xiaomo, don't be embarrassed. It's basically Cen Shengyuan who's talking anyway. If anyone should be embarrassed, it should be him!" She winked at Cen Shengyuan while speaking, "I'm just afraid that you 'll suffer a loss ! If you agree to him now, won't you be at a loss?"
"promise?"
Seeing that I didn't seem to react, Enhui smiled and said to me, "Xiaomo, Cen Shengyuan was confessing to you just now! Don't tell me you haven't reacted yet, otherwise he will cry to death, right?"
My face got even redder.
"All of you, get out of my room right now! Xiaomo is not like what you think, she will definitely agree to me!"
Enhui stuck out her tongue and said, "Xiaomo, didn't you always mind that contract before? In order to make Cen Shengyuan show his sincerity, can we let him sign a new one?"
I turned around and looked at Cen Shengyuan, his face had turned completely dark.
"Xiao Mo, don't be afraid! We will support you together this time!"
Ikehayakawa also came over with a smile. As he spoke, he put his hand on Eunhui's shoulder, but Wenrou quickly slapped it away.
Wenrou, who had always been very serious, also spoke up: "Yes, let him be your personal butler for a month!"
This request is so tempting.
I really want to do that.
"What are you doing?" Cen Shengyuan shouted dissatisfiedly.
Unfortunately, his protest was quickly blocked by Chi Zaochuan: "Sheng Yuan, didn't you just say that you bound Xiaomo with a contract because of love? Give Xiaomo a chance and let her bind you with a contract once..."
"Yes, yes, I think this is a good idea, Xiaomo, what do you think?"
"Hey, that's enough! How could I say anything so corny?"
This time, the three of them curled their lips at Cen Shengyuan and said in unison: "What you just said was much more disgusting than this!"
Seeing that I remained silent, Enhui pulled me away from Cen Shengyuan's arms and said, "Xiaomo, how do you feel? Don't be afraid, we have your solid backing!"
"Yes, Xiaomo, I remember that Cen Shengyuan announced it at the opening ceremony, right? This time we are holding the Holy Angel Bling Celebration, let him go on stage and read it out himself!"
"Yes, let him announce it himself! Good idea!"
I glanced at Cen Shengyuan timidly, and dark clouds seemed to have emerged around him.
But Enhui immediately stood in front of me and looked at me encouragingly.
"I..." I hesitated and looked away from Cen Shengyuan, "I think this is a good idea too!"
"Wow! Xiaomo, you are so wise!"
I looked past Enhui's waving arms and towards Cen Shengyuan, only to find that although his eyes were still wide open, a smile had crept up to the corners of his mouth.
