Lu Yinxi felt that she was completely unable to clarify things now!
Under the glaring look of her roommate promising "I'll settle the score with you when we get back", she followed the dormitory aunt downstairs. As her feet left the last step, that figure came into her sight.
It was already the end of October, and the weather was gradually turning cooler. Shang Luoshu was dressed in a shirt and long pants, exuding a handsome and scholarly aura.
Lu Yinxi stared blankly for a moment. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly scolded herself in her heart and then trotted to his side.
But as soon as she stood still, she regretted it.
Because the sight was blocked by the courtyard wall, she had absolutely no idea that outside the dormitory, there was actually a circle of girls surrounding him!
Hey, what's the deal with you guys not going back to your dorms and just standing here?
Are you watching a monkey show?
Shang · Monkey · Luoshu seemed oblivious to the gazes of those girls. At this moment, there was only Lu Yinxi in his eyes. "You left so quickly after class, Lu junior. I couldn't even catch up with you."
"Senior, did you find me for something?" Lu Yinxi asked hurriedly. She wanted to settle things quickly and then go back to the dorm.
Those who knew Lu Yinxi well knew that she wasn't a person who loved to be in the spotlight. All these miscellaneous gazes from the outside world only made her feel uncomfortable all over.
She still remembered that in high school, because of her good grades and decent looks, she once became a well - known figure in the school. The school would arrange for her to give speeches at many theme activities.
During that period, Lu Yinxi's grades dropped again and again because of this. After the school understood the situation, they never dared to arrange similar things for her again.
Now that she had entered university, Lu Yinxi's plan was to symbolically participate in a few club activities in her freshman year, then settle down to study steadily and take the postgraduate entrance examination. It would be best if she could study under Professor Feng and conduct in - depth research on the Great Qi Dynasty with him.
But just a few days after the start of school, her plan had been disrupted.
Noticing her resistance towards him, Shang Luoshu smiled. His eyes swept around. "Professor Feng has something he wants me to give you, but I didn't bring it with me."
Lu Yinxi felt that he was making fun of her. But since he was her senior and there was a circle of girls around them, she could only reply patiently, "Then what should we do?"
"It's easy. Junior, could you give me your contact information? We can make an appointment over the phone."
Alarm bells rang in Lu Yinxi's heart. She took a half - step back and glanced at him suspiciously, her eyes full of vigilance. "Senior, your real intention isn't just this, right?"
It wasn't strange for Lu Yinxi to think this way. Mainly, Shang Luoshu's behavior today was really something that a normal person wouldn't do.
In the morning class, they were clearly just strangers meeting for the second time, but his tone and expression made it seem as if there was really something between them.
Moreover, who was Professor Feng?
He was a big shot with a certain reputation internationally. How could he know about a little undergraduate like her and specifically ask his favorite student to deliver something to her?
It just didn't make sense!
Seeing her suspicion of him, Shang Luoshu became a bit more serious and slowly explained, "Junior, you've misunderstood me. Actually, after we met in the library that day, I mentioned you to Professor Feng once."
"Junior, you also know that in the thousands of years of history in our country, the historical materials left by the Great Qi Dynasty are the fewest, so there are also few people willing to study it. Now that the teacher heard that there is actually someone among this year's freshmen interested in the history of the Qi Dynasty, he will naturally show more concern."
His words seemed reasonable, but Lu Yinxi keenly caught a flaw. "You knew I was Lu Yinxi a long time ago?"
Otherwise, how could he know that she was a freshman?
Shang Luoshu raised his eyebrows, as if admiring her sharpness. "It can't be said like that. I just made a guess. If junior is really curious, you can find time to ask Professor Feng."
After a pause, he brought the topic back to the original point. "So, could junior give me your contact information?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Luoshu had already held out his phone in front of Lu Yinxi.
It had to be said that even including this time, it was only their third meeting, but Shang Luoshu had already firmly grasped Lu Yinxi's weakness.
She wanted to meet Professor Feng.
Using this as a lure would definitely hook her.
Even though she was still suspicious in her heart, Lu Yinxi was still reluctant to give up the slightest hope. What if what he said was true?
Very reluctantly, she pressed her phone number on his phone and called herself. Then she angrily stuffed the phone into his arms and turned away without mercy.
...
That afternoon, a post about the campus god Shang Luoshu appearing downstairs of the girls' dormitory and having a pleasant conversation with a freshman junior went viral on the A University forum.
Less than a minute after the post was posted, it had nearly 500 replies, which showed how popular the god Shang was in A University.
"Pleasant conversation? Pleasant your ass!"
The phone bounced on the bed. Lu Yinxi wished she could grab the person who posted the post right now and beat them up.
Because of this post, when she went to evening self - study today, she was stared at the whole time. She wished she could dig a hole on the spot and hide herself.
"I have to say that today's experience tells me one thing. We still underestimated the influence of the god in school."
Qu Yao sighed sincerely.
Since she and Lu Yinxi were in the same class and went to and from class together, she also had the "privilege" of enjoying those gazes all the way. That feeling... was indescribable!
"Come on, Yinxi, don't be angry. I think those people are just curious for a while. After all, this is the first time in the few years since the god entered the school that he appeared downstairs of the girls' dormitory waiting for someone."
"Out of curiosity, the students will inevitably gossip. After a while, when they know that you and the god aren't in that kind of relationship, they should stop."
After Lu Yinxi's "painstaking" explanation, the girls in the dorm finally believed that there was only a pure senior - junior relationship between her and the god Shang.
However, Zhang Lingyue's words didn't comfort her because the culprit of all these things sent her a message.
[Are you free tomorrow, Lu junior? I'll give you the book Professor Feng gave me.]
Lu Yinxi really wanted to reply firmly with "Not free" and throw it in his face, but as soon as her eyes glanced at the words "Professor Feng", she just couldn't do it.
For the sake of Professor Feng, I'll endure it!
She kept admonishing herself in her heart and then replied coldly with a single character.
[Yes]
Not even willing to add a punctuation mark. How angry must she be?
Shang Luoshu couldn't help but burst out laughing, which made the other guys in the dorm look at him sideways. "Yo yo yo, our god Shang has finally met his destined one?"
"Stop joking."
He made some perfunctory remarks to get through it, and then replied to Lu Yinxi's message.
[Okay then. At 8 am tomorrow, see you at our old place.]
To hell with the old place. Who has an old place with you!
Lu Yinxi got angry again, and the phone once again suffered what it shouldn't have at its age.
Early the next morning, Lu Yinxi got ready and went to the library. When she stepped into the historical data room, the clock just pointed to eight.
Actually, Lu Yinxi got up very early today, but for some reason, she deliberately dawdled in the dorm and didn't set off until it was almost eight.
It was class time, so there weren't many people in the data room. Lu Yinxi spotted Shang Luoshu sitting by the window at a glance.
It was a nice day. The comfortable sunshine accompanied by the gentle breeze was really pleasant. Lu Yinxi woke herself up from her daze again in her mind and silently walked to the seat opposite him and sat down.
"Good morning, Lu junior. Have you had breakfast?"
Shang Luoshu asked very naturally, as if the two of them were good friends who had known each other for many years.
Lu Yinxi was still angry about the post on the school forum!
When she got up this morning, she checked the post again. It was still on the front page, and the number of replies had reached ten thousand. It was really annoying.
She replied reluctantly, "Thank you for your concern, senior. I've already had breakfast. I wonder if senior has anything else to ask?"
The implication was, if there were no more questions, just give me the book quickly!
Shang Luoshu chuckled and handed the book to her. At the same time, he spoke again, "Junior, when you ask like this, I just remembered. Professor Feng wants to meet you. I wonder if junior has the time?"
...
The library was gradually left behind by the two of them. Lu Yinxi deliberately walked half a step behind Shang Luoshu, looking extremely annoyed!
What on earth was wrong with her just now that she subconsciously agreed to go to see Professor Feng with him? Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
Fortunately, the students hadn't finished class yet, so there weren't many students on the campus path. Otherwise, the scene downstairs of the girls' dormitory yesterday would probably be repeated.
"Speaking of which, junior said you're interested in the history of the Great Qi Dynasty. Have you heard about the excavation of the Tomb of the King of Jing during the summer vacation?"
Maybe feeling that it was too silent along the way, Shang Luoshu took the initiative to start a conversation.
Coincidentally, this was also something that Lu Yinxi was interested in.
"I've been following it. So, have you found out the cause of the King of Jing's death?"
When it came to the Great Qi Dynasty, one couldn't avoid talking about the King of Jing, Shang Luoshu.
If it weren't for him, the Qi Dynasty might have fallen into the hands of the treacherous king, Shang Mozheng at that time, and the history of the Great Qi Dynasty would have been completely rewritten.
Although his achievements weren't recorded in the official history, through the research on famous ministers and military generals of the Qi Dynasty such as Fang Qinhu, the Marquis of Yong'an, and Lu Wenhan, the grand tutor, the academic big shots finally found that Shang Luoshu in the royal family genealogy of the Qi Dynasty was a person who had saved the country from collapse.
However, because the historical materials were too scarce, the cause of his death had always been a mystery.
For this reason, there were two speculations in the academic circle.
One view was that Shang Luoshu might have been secretly ordered to be executed by the then - emperor, Shang Luoze, because his merits were too great.
The fact that there was not a single word about his achievements in the official history was the best evidence.
The other view was that Shang Luoshu might have died of a sudden illness. But due to insufficient evidence, there weren't many people holding this academic view.
Lu Yinxi hadn't studied the relevant materials carefully and didn't dare to draw a hasty conclusion, but there was always an idea popping up in her mind.
She always felt that both of these statements were wrong.
"Do you like Shang Luoshu, Lu junior?"
Shang Luoshu's question really startled Lu Yinxi. She almost thought that this person was asking if she liked him. Fortunately, she reacted in time and realized that he was talking about the King of Jing of the Great Qi Dynasty.
It was really a coincidence that the modern Shang Luoshu was researching the ancient Shang Luoshu. It was quite interesting.
Clearing her throat, Lu Yinxi replied, "I'm really a bit curious about the King of Jing of the Great Qi Dynasty. I feel that there are many mysteries hidden in him."
"Really?" Shang Luoshu smiled enigmatically. "But I'm even more curious about the Princess of Jing!"
"Princess of Jing? Did Shang Luoshu really have a princess consort?"
Whether the King of Jing of the Great Qi Dynasty had a principal wife was also a mystery in the academic circle before.
Although in the genealogy, the name of the Lu family was written in the column of his principal wife, relevant experts had checked all the records of the royal marriages of the Qi Dynasty but couldn't find any record of Shang Luoshu's.
It was obvious how much the ancients attached importance to weddings. But there was just no record of Shang Luoshu's marriage to his principal wife. The implication was self - evident.
The King of Jing might have remained unmarried all his life!
At that time, this view was supported by many people, and Lu Yinxi also thought they made sense. But now, this person in front of her just mentioned the Princess of Jing.
"Want to know?"
Noticing Lu Yinxi's curious gaze, the god Shang deliberately lured her in a low voice. Lu Yinxi really wanted to reply bravely that she wasn't interested at all.
But whether it was because of that dream or her own curiosity, she just couldn't say this sentence. In the end, she could only nod.
"Want to know."
"Then follow me!"
Saying that, he pushed open the door first and walked into the room. It turned out that they had arrived at Professor Feng's office.
