After this episode of the show, the CP fans of Xiang Yutang and Zhu Zhengchu grew even more rapidly. Whether it was the so - called revelations, their on - screen performances, or the way they looked at each other, it all seemed so real that people felt they were truly a couple.
Of course, there were still some fans of Zhu Zhengchu or Xiang Yutang who insisted that they weren't together. However, their rebuttals seemed rather weak in the face of the presented evidence.
Xiang Yutang's popularity remained firmly in the first place, and Zhu Zhengchu was confident that she would debut successfully.
Everyone was doing fine, and the only one who was constantly worried was Zhuo Ziyu. Every day, she watched the lovestruck Xiang Yutang and didn't know how to pull her friend out of this state.
"Tangtang, how are things going between you and Teacher Zhu?" Zhuo Ziyu asked tentatively.
Xiang Yutang said happily, "It's great. He treats me really well."
"Well... I remember you told me that Teacher Zhu knows your dad, right?"
"Yeah."
This made Zhuo Ziyu feel a bit more at ease. It was good that he knew her family. In this case, Zhu Zhengchu probably wouldn't do anything too extreme.
Xiang Yutang would basically giggle whenever she thought of Zhu Zhengchu. "Ziyu, why do I like him so much?"
Zhuo Ziyu forced a smile. "Who can say for sure about fate?"
"The next round of the competition will start tomorrow. Do you want to be in the same group as him?"
Xiang Yutang said expectantly, "Of course. Didn't I work hard to get the first place just to be in the same group as him!"
Zhuo Ziyu said, "If you see other girls in the same group as him, will you be jealous?"
"Sure I will, but there's no other way. It has to be like this."
Xiang Yutang hugged Zhuo Ziyu. "But I also want to be in the same group as you! I don't want to be separated from you!"
Zhuo Ziyu smiled. Thankfully, she still remembered her best friend.
"Hey, Ziyu, is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like this bed is shaking?" Xiang Yutang was sitting on the bed, while Zhuo Ziyu, who was standing, didn't feel anything.
But within just a few seconds, the tremors intensified. Xiang Yutang's face changed. "Earthquake! Run!"
After saying that, she pulled Zhuo Ziyu and rushed out. Many girls also rushed out. Everyone was panicked and kept screaming.
The violent shaking of the earthquake made everyone feel deep fear. Even the usually carefree Xiang Yutang's palms were sweating. She forced herself to calm down. "Don't all crowd at the door together! Go out one by one!"
Thankfully, a group of contestants had been eliminated before, so there weren't too many people left. Everyone quickly ran downstairs.
Zhuo Ziyu was so scared that she was in a complete daze. Xiang Yutang was comforting her while worrying about Zhu Zhengchu. Where was he? She wondered how he was.
But his place was closest to the main entrance, so he should be okay.
While Xiang Yutang was trying to calm herself down, she suddenly heard someone calling her name. She turned around and saw Zhu Zhengchu running towards them.
"What are you doing here! Quickly find a safe place!"
Zhu Zhengchu walked over and hugged her in his arms. "It's okay. It's just an aftershock here. Don't worry." He had also felt the strong tremors while sleeping just now and had run here without even putting on his shoes properly.
Everyone was so frightened that no one noticed the two of them hugging.
"We're outside now. Stop hugging." Xiang Yutang got out of his arms. Looking down, she exclaimed, "What's wrong with you! Where are your shoes!"
Only then did Zhu Zhengchu feel a stinging pain in his foot. He lifted his foot and saw that it had been cut at some point.
Although it was quite painful, it wasn't a big deal for a grown - up man like Zhu Zhengchu. "It's okay. I was in too much of a hurry and didn't put on my shoes. Are you okay? Didn't get hit by anything?"
"I'm okay." Looking at the wound on his foot, Xiang Yutang, who hadn't been scared to cry during the earthquake, was now in tears.
"Go and get it treated quickly! What if it gets infected later!"
Zhu Zhengchu's assistant, Xiao Lin, also ran over. Seeing Zhu Zhengchu's foot like this, he quickly took off his own shoes. "Brother, why are you so careless? Oh, hurry up and call a doctor! An ambulance!"
Zhu Zhengchu laughed. "Don't waste a doctor on such a small wound. I'll just go back and treat it myself. It's good that none of you are injured. Don't be scared."
They had only experienced a minor aftershock, and thankfully, no one was injured. The director group comforted everyone and then let them go back to rest.
Xiang Yutang followed Zhu Zhengchu back to his dormitory to treat his wound.
"Ouch." When the antiseptic touched the wound, Zhu Zhengchu couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"I'm the one who's injured. Why are you crying?" Zhu Zhengchu took a tissue and wiped her tears.
"It's really okay. It's just a little blood. Look at how scared you are."
While applying the medicine, Xiang Yutang complained, "Why didn't you put on your shoes! You could at least have slipped them on."
"I did put them on. Maybe I was running too fast, and they accidentally flew off. There's nothing I could do. I was worried about you." Zhu Zhengchu didn't expect that his first reaction was to look for Xiang Yutang. After all, Xiang Yutang was his girlfriend now, and he should protect her.
Seeing Xiang Yutang pursing her lips and looking so aggrieved, Zhu Zhengchu told a joke to amuse her.
"For this earthquake, except for Zhu Zhengchu who stepped on glass in a hurry, no one else was injured. Don't you think this hot search would be really funny?"
Xiang Yutang slapped his shoulder. "You can still laugh!"
"You're lucky it was just a small earthquake. What if it was a major one?"
"Okay, okay. Don't be sad." Zhu Zhengchu let Xiang Yutang sit beside him and held her hand, giving it a kiss.
"Do you want to go back and check on Zhuo Ziyu? I saw that her lips were pale with fear just now."
Xiang Yutang hesitated for a moment. "I'll go back and comfort her first. I'll come here to rest tonight."
Zhu Zhengchu's foot was a bit inconvenient now, and she had to come and take care of him.
Zhu Zhengchu raised his eyebrows. Hmm? She was willing to come and stay here. Wasn't this a pleasant surprise?
"Okay. I'll wait for you, baby."
Xiang Yutang returned to the dormitory building. Zhuo Ziyu was on the phone with her parents, reporting that she was safe.
"Tangtang, quickly call your dad. They said they couldn't reach you and were really worried. If you don't call, your dad might even fly here in a helicopter."
Xiang Yutang called Xiang Zhengyun to report that she was safe and then told Zhuo Ziyu her plan.
"I might move in with him recently!"
Zhuo Ziyu was a bit stunned. "Why?" Was it because she was touched by Zhu Zhengchu's performance today?
