Chapter 140 Tang Lin

"Why is the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor located at Lishan Mountain? I think it's out of both practical and psychological needs. In ancient times, people often chose places with high terrain and beautiful scenery to build tombs, especially imperial tombs. Emperor Qin Shi Huang ruled in the capital city of Xianyang, but his mausoleum was built at the foot of Lishan Mountain far away from Xianyang. As for the reason, according to Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, 'Emperor Qin Shi Huang greatly promoted elaborate burials and built his tomb on Lirong Mountain, also known as Lantian. There was much gold on its north side and many beautiful jade stones on its south side. Emperor Qin Shi Huang coveted its good reputation and thus was buried there.' In front of so many people, Ji Beichuan calmly started to speak, presenting his views in an orderly manner.

Not to mention the people around, even Shen Nanyi was a bit surprised when she heard this.

She looked at Ji Beichuan in disbelief, hardly believing that Ji Beichuan knew so much about history. After all, Ji Beichuan's major was quite different from history.

As if understanding what was on Shen Nanyi's mind, Ji Beichuan tilted his head and looked at her, a faint smile curving his lips.

"Good, very good. I didn't expect this student to have really listened to the class," the history professor said, unreservedly casting an appreciative look at Ji Beichuan. He seemed to be wondering which department Ji Beichuan was from.

It was such a pity that such a good talent was only taking a history elective. He must find an opportunity to recruit this student.

Ji Beichuan just smiled and didn't explain anything. Only Shen Nanyi, who knew the truth, looked at the professor with a complicated expression.

If the professor knew that Ji Beichuan had just come to accompany her to class, he would probably be disappointed.

Thanks to Ji Beichuan and Shen Nanyi, the atmosphere in this history elective class was extremely lively, which made the professor once again have the illusion that many people now liked history.

As the class was about to end, the professor packed up his books and came up to Ji Beichuan.

"Here's my contact information. Feel free to contact me if you need anything," the professor said, stuffing a business card into Ji Beichuan's hand before he could even refuse.

Seeing Ji Beichuan put the business card into his pocket, the surrounding students were filled with envy.

Although they knew Ji Beichuan was highly intelligent, they didn't expect that in just one short class, Ji Beichuan had managed to win over the well - known strict history professor of University A. That was incredibly efficient.

The history professor was not only a professor at University A but also a doctoral supervisor. Countless people wanted him to be their supervisor, but most of them were rejected. Now, the professor had actually taken the initiative to extend an olive branch.

Some history students looked at Ji Beichuan not only with envy but also with jealousy. It was really true that comparison could be so demoralizing.

With great difficulty, Shen Nanyi and Ji Beichuan managed to break through the crowd of students and came to the small garden on campus. They found a quiet place to enjoy this rare moment of peace.

The two of them just sat quietly on the bench without saying a word. Time seemed to stand still.

"Hello, Senior Beichuan. I'm Tang Lin from the Acting Department," however, this moment of peace didn't last long. A girl in a short skirt walked over, smiling at Ji Beichuan.

The girl was about the same age as Shen Nanyi. Her crop top revealed her slender waist, and under the short skirt were long, straight legs. Her wavy hair exuded a strong sense of femininity, and her big eyes made people's hearts ache.

She was completely different from Shen Nanyi. At this moment, Tang Lin was smiling at Ji Beichuan, completely ignoring Shen Nanyi beside them. Shen Nanyi might as well have been a transparent person.

Without even having to think, Shen Nanyi knew that the girl in front of her was here for Ji Beichuan. But she wasn't in a hurry. She just continued to sit there, smiling at Ji Beichuan.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" As if he didn't see Tang Lin at all, Ji Beichuan continued to look at Shen Nanyi, his eyes full of doting.

The smile on Tang Lin's face began to fade. No boy had ever treated her so coldly before.

But the more Ji Beichuan acted like this, the more it stirred up Tang Lin's competitive spirit. Only a man like this was worthy of her.

"Senior, I'm the daughter of the Tang family. We met when we were kids," not getting angry at being ignored, Tang Lin instead sat down on Ji Beichuan's other side with a smile.

Shen Nanyi tilted her head to look at Ji Beichuan, curious to see what he would do.

As if understanding Shen Nanyi's thoughts, Ji Beichuan smiled helplessly, stood up, and pulled Shen Nanyi away. "I have a girlfriend," he said softly as he left, making sure Tang Lin beside them could hear clearly.

"What would people think if they knew that the young lady of the Tang Group was showing interest in a man with a girlfriend? Do you think the stock price of the Tang Group would fall?" To make matters worse, Ji Beichuan left behind an even harsher remark, which made Tang Lin's face turn deathly pale.

Looking up at the two people walking away, Ji Beichuan put his coat on Shen Nanyi and softly reminded her to keep warm, as if he wasn't the same person who had just spoken so harshly.

It had to be said that Ji Beichuan's way of handling the situation was quite straightforward, which made Shen Nanyi feel much better.

"Happy now?" Ji Beichuan knew exactly what Shen Nanyi was thinking. He looked at her helplessly, his face full of doting.

Shen Nanyi didn't deny it. The slight upturn of her lips showed that she was in a great mood.

The two of them walked to the school gate chatting and laughing. It was lunchtime, and there were quite a few people gathered at the gate of University A.

Being too happy, Shen Nanyi had forgotten that she was still at the center of public opinion. It was only when she saw the large crowd at the school gate that she finally realized what was going on.

By the time she reacted and turned around to leave, most people had already noticed them. It was obviously too late.

Ji Beichuan held Shen Nanyi's hand and didn't intend to dodge. They walked out of the school gate hand in hand.

Perhaps because Ji Beichuan's aura was too strong, no one around dared to stop them. People just took out their phones and kept taking pictures.

Ji Beichuan tightly held Shen Nanyi's hand and walked towards the school gate.

"Senior Beichuan," just as they were about to walk out of the crowd surrounding the school gate, Tang Lin chased after them from inside the school and called out to Ji Beichuan. Her voice was loud enough for everyone around to hear.

Tang Lin was a well - known figure at University A. She was beautiful and came from a wealthy family. She was the goddess in the hearts of many boys. Her sudden call to Ji Beichuan in front of so many people made everyone smell a hint of gossip.

Ji Beichuan had already made his words clear, but he didn't expect Tang Lin to chase after them. He turned to look at her, his gaze unfriendly.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Tang Lin walked slowly towards Ji Beichuan and Shen Nanyi, with a faint smile on her face all the time.
