Tsinghua University was bustling with activity. It wasn't just because of the cultural performance; it was mostly because of Shen Jiayu's arrival.
After that, hardly anyone paid attention to the rest of the performance. Most people crowded around the backstage door.
When Lan Xi took the stage, there were very few people left in the audience. Except for the boys, all the girls had already disappeared.
Shen Jiayu was now trapped backstage and dared not go out. Shen Jianyi wanted to change back into her own clothes, only to find that some clueless person had taken them away.
She was extremely helpless and could only sit on the chair and wait to see what the teacher in charge would say later.
At this moment...
A black Maybach pulled up at the school gate. The car door opened, and a pair of black leather shoes stepped onto the ground. Then, a man in a neat suit walked towards the school.
The school security guard at the gate recognized him immediately and quickly came out of the security room.
"Mr. Lu, what brings you here today?"
Lu Jinsheng glanced at him but didn't say a word. He just walked straight in. The security guard scratched the back of his head, feeling that Lu Jinsheng seemed to be in a bad mood.
He knew that Shen Jianyi must be backstage, so he headed straight there. The backstage door was blocked so tightly that Lu Jinsheng couldn't get in at all.
"Get out of the way!"
Lu Jinsheng's voice was deep and cold, like an ancient iceberg. It seemed that the temperature around him was lower than elsewhere.
The girls, who were very dissatisfied at first when they heard someone speaking, turned around. When they saw that it was Lu Jinsheng, they were shocked.
"Senior Lu?"
"Senior Lu, what are you doing here today?!"
Lu Jinsheng rarely came back to school. Recently, he only came to pick up Shen Jianyi. However, there were still some people in the school who didn't know Shen Jianyi's identity.
These people made way for him. The originally crowded path was now clear. Lu Jinsheng didn't say a word, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.
Just then, a woman in a light blue evening dress walked out. At first, she was wondering what was going on with these girls. Had they suddenly seen the light?
But when she saw Lu Jinsheng, she understood. It turned out that an important person had come. She subconsciously stepped to the side, not daring to look up or say a word.
When passing by Lan Xi, Lu Jinsheng's gaze fell on her for a moment, but then he ignored her and walked straight on.
She took a deep breath and clenched her fists. Just seeing Shen Jianyi or Lu Jinsheng now would remind her of that day.
The feeling of humiliation welled up in her heart instantly. Lan Xi grabbed her evening dress and turned back into the backstage. She wanted to see how Lu Jinsheng would react if he saw Shen Jianyi dressed like that and chatting so happily with other boys, and how Shen Jianyi would explain herself.
The originally peaceful lounge would occasionally be filled with laughter. Shen Jianyi was sitting quietly on the sofa, sending several messages to Lu Jinsheng, but he didn't reply. Who knew what this guy was doing.
The door of the lounge was pushed open from the outside, and a tall and slender figure walked in. Immediately, the lounge fell silent. No one dared to say a word.
The woman was lowering her head, looking at her phone. Her slender fingers were constantly sliding on the screen, completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
It wasn't until a pair of black leather shoes appeared in her sight that she frowned and looked up with her clear and bright eyes, staring at the person in front of her.
Shen Jianyi's back straightened involuntarily. She paused for a moment, and it felt like something was stuck in her throat. She couldn't say a single word.
She swallowed hard, and her throat felt dry and tight. "Why are you here?"
"What?," Lu Jinsheng said with a drooping lip. "Can't I come?"
"No, I didn't mean that."
Just as Shen Jianyi was about to stand up, she suddenly realized what she was wearing. This evening dress showed off all her advantages on her body, leaving nothing hidden.
Before she could say anything, the man had already taken off his coat and draped it over Shen Jianyi's shoulders.
"Who dressed you in this?"
Shen Jianyi was stunned for a moment and didn't say a word. Instead, she buried her head in the man's arms, looking like a shy little woman.
Even if she didn't say anything, Lu Jinsheng had a way to find out. She wasn't the only one in this lounge. The man's gaze swept over everyone's heads and finally landed on Shen Jiayu standing in the corner.
"You tell me."
Shen Jiayu was suddenly called out. He shivered all over, and his mind went blank. He didn't know whether he should say it or not.
He kept picking at his fingers with both hands. He was so nervous that he stammered when he spoke. "It... It was Lan Xi."
Just then, Lan Xi, who was standing outside the door, heard this. This was completely different from what she had expected. She thought that Lu Jinsheng would be very angry with Shen Jianyi's behavior, but unexpectedly, he was looking for the root cause.
There was a noise outside the door. Shen Jiayu thought someone was knocking, so he casually opened the door.
As a result, Lan Xi fell straight in due to the inertia of the door opening. No one helped her. Even Lu Jinsheng took two steps back with Shen Jianyi in his arms, for fear of hurting the woman in his arms.
Lan Xi fell to the ground solidly, looking extremely embarrassed.
"Rip──"
Lan Xi lowered her head and saw that her evening dress had torn from her ankle all the way up to the inside of her thigh. She immediately covered it with her hands, and her whole face turned bright red.
Since the other party was a woman, Lu Jinsheng didn't want to argue with her. Moreover, he had recognized this woman as soon as he came in. She was none other than the second daughter of the Lan family who had caused trouble that day.
He lowered his eyes and whispered in the woman's ear. "Shen Jianyi, do you know how dangerous this evening dress of yours is? If you fell to the ground like her, how would you stand up?"
"..."
Shen Jianyi was a little speechless. Who would fall for no reason? This was a flat ground, not a bumpy path.
"It's none of your business!" Shen Jianyi said deliberately, but her tone sounded more like a coquettish complaint.
Lu Jinsheng clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to suppress the impulse in his heart.
He directly picked the woman up horizontally, held her in his arms, and walked out without looking back.
Under everyone's gaze, they witnessed with their own eyes that the famous Lu Jinsheng actually carried a woman out of the school. And that woman was the red - dressed girl who had just cooperated with Shen Jiayu. This shocked them greatly. Shen Jianyi even got the title of a flirtatious woman.
But the person involved didn't know this. She wanted to struggle out of the man's arms.
Lu Jinsheng's voice was hoarse and raspy. He tightened his hold on the woman, bringing them closer together. He let out a low laugh. "Yiyi, do you know what I really want to do?"
"What?"
A smug smile curled up on his light - pink lips. "I want to tear this dress off you."
