"Hey, kid, why are you here again?"
Before Lu Yinxi even stepped into the room, she heard a middle - aged man's voice from inside. His words sounded like he was complaining, but his tone was full of familiarity.
"Teacher, this is my first time here today. And I've brought the person you wanted to see."
As he said this, Shang Luoshu turned his head and shouted outside, "Junior Sister Lu, come in quickly."
Hearing her name, Lu Yinxi outside took a deep breath. She tidied up her appearance, and after making sure everything was okay, she nervously walked into the office.
"Professor Feng, hello. I'm Lu Yinxi, a freshman in the School of History this year. I..."
The words she hadn't spoken were swallowed back abruptly. Looking at Professor Feng who stepped right in front of her, Lu Yinxi unconsciously widened her eyes and held her breath.
What's going on?
Professor Feng was like a child who had just gotten some rare treasure. With a curious look in his eyes, he carefully examined Lu Yinxi's face, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
"She looks like her! Really, exactly alike!"
What? Look like who?
Lu Yinxi was completely confused by his series of actions. Before she could ask, Professor Feng explained it himself.
"You just said your name is Lu Yinxi?"
"Yes, Professor Feng. Lu with the ear radical, and Yinxi from the line 'The deer drinks from the stream in the empty forest'."
Professor Feng seemed to have heard another joke. He laughed out loud again, and it took him a while to calm down. Then he continued to ask Lu Yinxi questions.
"I heard from Luoshu that you're interested in the history of the Qi Dynasty?"
This sounded like there was some special relationship between her and Shang Luoshu.
But Lu Yinxi didn't have time to think about it carefully. She quickly replied, "Yes. I applied for University A precisely because I'm interested in the history of the Qi Dynasty. If I have the chance in the future, I'd like to do further research in this area."
Professor Feng nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with her answer. "Among the figures in the history of the Qi Dynasty, is there anyone you're particularly interested in?"
Hearing this, Lu Yinxi subconsciously glanced at Shang Luoshu who was standing silently beside her, and her voice became a bit softer.
"Currently, I'm quite interested in the Prince Jing of the Qi Dynasty. I really want to know the cause of his death."
As she said this, a look of eagerness flashed in her eyes, hoping that Professor Feng could reveal a bit of information. However, Professor Feng seemed not to understand her meaning and continued to ask.
"What about the Princess Jing? Aren't you curious about her, Miss Lu?"
The Princess Jing?
Lu Yinxi glanced at Shang Luoshu again and thought for a moment. "I heard Senior Shang mention it just now. Has the academic circle already confirmed that the Prince Jing had a primary wife?"
"Of course! We even know her name and appearance."
Professor Feng got excited again. He trotted to the computer on his desk, clicked the mouse a few times, and then cheerfully beckoned Lu Yinxi over.
"Come here, Miss Lu. This is the portrait of the Princess Jing we found in the Prince Jing's tomb."
Lu Yinxi was actually a bit curious about this "Schrödinger's primary wife". She carefully moved to the other side of the desk. At the same moment, the image on the laptop screen rushed into her sight.
On the screen was an ancient painting, with only a woman in it. Her long black hair was like a waterfall, and her upturned eyebrows showed a gentle yet sharp look.
But that wasn't the point. The point was that she had a face that resembled Lu Yinxi's by about 70%.
At that moment, Lu Yinxi almost stopped breathing. It made her can't help but think of the dreams she had during that period.
In the dreams, she was the Princess Jing.
So, was her past life this Princess Jing? No. She remembered that in the dream, the Prince Jing looked a bit like the senior standing behind her.
Could it be that his past life was the Prince Jing?
What a mess!
Stop daydreaming! Shut up that thought!
After a while, Lu Yinxi slowly regained her voice. She forced her eyes away from the screen and hesitantly asked, "Professor Feng, did you say I looked like someone because of her?"
"Yes. Don't you think so, Miss Lu?"
"No, no."
Lu Yinxi quickly waved her hand. "It's just that it's so incredible..."
"You think this is incredible? There's more to surprise you later."
Professor Feng started tinkering with his computer again. Then he showed another photo and explained to Lu Yinxi.
"According to my research, if there are no accidents, the Princess Jing's name was probably also Lu Yinxi. She might be the youngest daughter of Lu Wenhan, the grand tutor."
"We checked the genealogy of the Lu family. Lu Wenhan's youngest daughter died at the age of sixteen, which is consistent with the age of the Princess Jing's death recorded in the genealogy of the Qi royal family."
"Of course, the most direct evidence is that through modern technology, we found that there are actually a man and a woman buried in the Prince Jing's tomb."
A husband - and - wife burial is the most direct evidence.
Lu Yinxi blinked and silently digested all that she had just heard. Her longing for the Qi Dynasty seemed to grow a bit more.
Shang Luoshu didn't know when he had poured two cups of tea and put them on the table. Lu Yinxi picked up one of the cups and held it in her hand. Suddenly, a surge of courage welled up in her heart.
"Professor Feng, can I come to you often in the future to ask about things related to the Qi Dynasty?"
"Sure," Professor Feng readily agreed. "But I may not be on campus very often during this period. So if you have any questions, you can also ask your Senior Shang."
If Professor Feng hadn't mentioned it, Lu Yinxi might not have thought about it. Now she realized that this guy had known for a long time that she looked like the Princess Jing in history.
Her thoughts further diverged. She remembered the first time they met. At first, his attitude towards her was very cold. But later, it seemed that after seeing her face, his attitude softened.
"Okay, Professor Feng. I will ask Senior Shang for advice!"
The morning passed just like that. When Lu Yinxi and Shang Luoshu came out of the teaching building, it was just the time when students were getting out of class.
She didn't dare to walk with Shang Luoshu. She made up an excuse and left first. But somehow, she always felt that the looks people gave her on the way back to the dormitory were even weirder?
Almost instinctively, she immediately opened her phone and entered the campus forum.
Good. The high - profile post from yesterday was no longer on the front page. Instead, there was another post.
Shocking! The love between campus god Shang and freshman Lu is confirmed! Click to see the passionate big pictures!
Really, the person who came up with this title would be a waste if they didn't go to the UC Shocking Department!
Her thumb trembled slightly, but in the end, Lu Yinxi still clicked on it. The first thing that caught her eye was the scene of her and Shang Luoshu walking on the road this morning.
Lu Yinxi carefully looked at this photo several times.
She was really confused. In the photo, the two were just walking on the road, and she even deliberately walked half a step behind Shang Luoshu. How did they conclude that the two were in love?
Just by imagining?
Putting away her phone, Lu Yinxi decided to ignore it. She went back to the dormitory angrily.
As soon as the dormitory door opened, three pairs of eyes stared at her in unison. She weakly raised her hand and said in a feeble voice, "I'd like to apply again for one minute of interference - free free - statement time."
......
Lu Yinxi started avoiding Shang Luoshu.
She didn't answer his calls or reply to his messages. Even when she did reply, it was very official and polite.
In short, she was trying every means to distance herself from Shang Luoshu. However, what she got in return was another high - profile post on the campus forum.
Men are silent, women are in tears! Is there a rift in the relationship between the campus god and the freshman beauty? Is there a third party involved?
Lu Yinxi swore that if she knew who wrote this post, she would beat him until he knelt on the ground and called her daddy!
So angry! So angry! So angry!
She had to say it three times when she was angry!
Actually, there was something Lu Yinxi didn't know. If she did, she would probably be even angrier.
That was that the matter between her and Shang Luoshu, which was gradually losing its popularity over time, became a hot topic again in University A because of this post.
After all, gossip is human nature, whether you're a top student or a poor student.
......
One day, just after Lu Yinxi finished class, she received a message from Shang Luoshu.
[Junior Sister, have you finished reading the book? Do you have any questions? I'll be at the old place this afternoon.]
Please, we're not that familiar. Can you stop mentioning the old place?!!!
She complained wildly in her heart. But after a nap, Lu Yinxi still couldn't help but take the book and go to the library.
Shang Luoshu was still sitting in the seat by the window, just like last time. It was really the old place.
"Junior Sister, you're here."
He looked up at her and smiled. There seemed to be tiny glimmers of light in his flying eyes.
There was no denying that Shang Luoshu was good - looking. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so popular among the girls on campus.
Even though Lu Yinxi had been used to the good looks of her father and elder brother since she was a child, she was still occasionally dazzled by Shang Luoshu's appearance.
Just like now.
"Junior Sister?"
He waved his hand in front of her eyes. Lu Yinxi pretended to cough lightly and sat down opposite him.
"Senior, I've finished reading the book, but there are still some parts I don't quite understand."
"Where don't you understand? Let me take a look."
Shang Luoshu naturally got up and sat down beside Lu Yinxi. At the same time, he put one hand on the back of her chair. From behind, it seemed as if he was half - embracing her, domineering yet natural.
It's too close!
His deep voice was right beside her ear, and she could feel his breath on the side of her face from time to time. Lu Yinxi blinked nervously.
She didn't listen to a single word of what Shang Luoshu was saying.
Suddenly, the voice beside her ear stopped. Before Lu Yinxi could ask why, Shang Luoshu took the initiative. "Junior Sister Lu, did you understand what I just said? Repeat it."
The person who was forced to be distracted wanted to cover her face. In the end, she could only lower her voice and apologize. "Sorry, Senior. I was distracted just now. Could you please explain it again?"
"Also, you were too close to me just now. It made me a bit tempted to take action."
Because she was afraid that her daughter would be bullied, Lu's mother sent her to a taekwondo class when she was very young. She didn't feel relieved until her daughter got a black belt.
Looking at the weak - looking little girl cracking her slender knuckles, Shang Luoshu tightened his throat and moved his body to the side a bit. But the smile on his face didn't change at all.
A man's pride must not be lost!
"Okay, then I'll explain this part again."
......
It had only been half an hour since the two met in the library, and the campus forum exploded again. The poster who made Lu Yinxi grind her teeth in hatred was still at the forefront.
Slap in the face! The god and the beauty have an intimate interaction in the library, strongly refuting the rumor of a rift in their relationship!
Lu Yinxi was numb. When she saw such a post now, her heart was only filled with calmness.
Don't be angry, don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, no one will take care of you.
"Here."
After coming out of the store, Shang Luoshu handed a cup of milk tea to Lu Yinxi. "I don't know what flavor you like, so I made the decision myself."
"Thank you, Senior."
She took the milk tea and took a sip. The sweetness instantly exploded in her mouth. Lu Yinxi bit the straw and unconsciously glanced at the person beside her.
After coming out of the library, this guy suddenly dragged her here and said he wanted to treat her to milk tea.
Actually, according to the rules, it should be her who treated Shang Luoshu. After all, he was her senior and had helped her a lot.
However, when she wanted to offer to treat him, he had already gone into the milk tea shop first. Lu Yinxi had no choice but to swallow back the words "I'll treat you". She decided to find another opportunity to treat him to a meal next time.
But now, she suddenly hesitated.
Because just now, a thought flashed through her mind.
Could it be that Shang Luoshu was chasing her?
Lu Yinxi wasn't being narcissistic. She was quite a well - known figure in high school, and there were quite a few people chasing her. So she was familiar with the basic ways of chasing someone.
Among them was giving milk tea, and the domineering half - embrace posture that happened in the library before.
But the boy who chased Lu Yinxi didn't have Shang Luoshu's good luck.
At that time, as soon as he put his hand on the back of Lu Yinxi's chair, she knocked him down with one move. Since then, the name Lu Yinxi had become a nightmare for him for the rest of his life.
The straw was almost bitten out of shape. Lu Yinxi took another sip of the milk tea. As if making a decision, she took a deep breath and walked up to Shang Luoshu, looking into his eyes.
"Shang Luoshu, do you like me?"
