Chapter 22: Chapter 21: Wang, O'neil is actually by my side?
"I won't be joining you for dinner~ I need to hurry to the orientation event for new students!"
Standing at the crossroads beneath the male dormitory building, Lin Xinyue let go of Gu Yu's hand, a hint of apology in her eyes.
Their date today had mainly consisted of Gu Yu accompanying her shopping, and in the afternoon, something came up at Mr. Liu's noodle shop, which kept Gu Yu super busy!
Just when they finally had a break, her student council teacher sent her a message telling her head to the office for a meeting right away.
She didn't even have time to sit down for a proper dinner with Gu Yu!
"It's all right, you do your thing, we aren't in a rush, how does that saying go, 'Eternal love need not be renewed each day and night'? Haha."
Gu Yu thought for a second and then tousled Lin Xinyue's hair.
Lin Xinyue also took the opportunity to lean into his embrace, seeking the warmth of his arms for a minute or two.
This scene was spotted by Qin Shan, who was lifting dumbbells on the fifth-floor balcony.
"Eh, isn't that Laosi down there?"
Qin Shan set down the dumbbells and leaned over the railing, craning his neck to look down.
He couldn't quite confirm it was Gu Yu because his head was lowered, but as soon as he saw Lin Xinyue in Gu Yu's arms, he recognized her instantly!
Lin Xiaohua, that's her! With her slim and graceful silhouette, any male student in the school could recognize her with one eye closed!
"Damn! Damn! Damn! Guys, come look! Laosi is getting cozy with the school beauty down there!"
After triple-checking that it was indeed Lin Xiaohua and Laosi, Qin Shan burst into the dorm room, shouting excitedly.
Boss Pu and Yu Laoer, who were bored and scrolling through Dou Ying, heard the explosive news and immediately rushed to the balcony.
Just as expected, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue were embracing right beneath them!
"We've got to capture this sweet moment for Laosi!"
Boss Pu slapped his forehead with a mischievous grin and took out his phone.
The other two understood instantly, whipping out their phones and going photo-crazy!
Gu Yu, who was savoring the tender moment, initially had no idea that three of his roommates were sneakily snapping photos from above.
However, someone hadn't turned off their camera flash.
Gu Yu, already tilting his head back slightly, suddenly caught a flicker of light above him.
He looked up, and immediately saw three familiar heads sticking out, holding up their phones, snapping away.
The phone on the far left was flickering rhythmically, clicking photos at an astonishing rate.
"Shit! We've been spotted!"
Gu Yu cursed under his breath. How were these three old farts like dogs, able to sniff him out?
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Lin Xinyue extracted herself from his arms, her expression confused. She checked her phone and her expression changed instantly, "Ah! I'm going to be late!!"
"Mua! I'm off! Bye-bye~ Bye-bye~"
Just as Gu Yu was about to tell her that his three roommates were taking pictures, Lin Xinyue tiptoed and quickly pecked him on the right cheek.
"Uh..."
Gu Yu touched his right cheek, dazed, and before he could speak, Lin Xinyue had already run off.
"Holy sh--"
Just then, an earth-shattering curse erupted from the fifth floor.
Following that, the whole dormitory's voice-controlled lights came on as seen through the windows.
Without guessing, Gu Yu knew who had let out that shout!
Lin Xinyue's stealthy kiss must have been caught on camera!
"Tsk, that sound, must be Laosan, right?"
Even though it was winter, Gu Yu rolled up his sleeves and strode toward the dorm with fierce determination.
"We're screwed! It's all your fault, Laosan! Who uses flash when taking sneaky photos?"
"Yeah! Your scream just now gave me a jump too, like you were about to transform into Ultraman or something!"
"..."
Watching Gu Yu enter the building, the three of them scrambled in a flurry.
But Boss Pu lived up to his title, quickly taking control of the situation. He discreetly pocketed his phone and said seriously to Laoer and Laosan, "What's the panic! If Laosi can have his meat, can't we have a little soup?"
"We weren't sneaking photos! We were preserving his romantic memories, get it!?"
"He's got to treat us to a meal now, or it wouldn't be right!"
Laoer and Laosan calmed down Immediately after hearing what Boss Pu said.
They nodded in agreement one after another.
Downstairs, Gu Yu had already entered the building, but he didn't immediately head upstairs.
Because he was attracted by an A4 paper stuck on the wall.
[Public Announcement:
Now we announce to the whole school that Gu Yu, a student of the Software Engineering class 1 of the 2018 cohort of the College of Software and Big Data, student number 418180102, broke the backboard while dunking during playing basketball in the evening of September 12th at the A3 basketball court!
After a decision made by the school administration, he is given a public reprimand, but no further penalties or compensation will be pursued. ——2020/09/13]
"It's really me! Damn, breaking the backboard actually got a school-wide reprimand?"
Gu Yu read the announcement three times and confirmed the class and student number several times before he was sure it was actually about himself!
A public reprimand is issued, but no penalties or compensation would be sought!
What kind of reprimand is this!
Are you sure this isn't a school-wide commendation?
Shocked! Loving this sassy move from the school! Loving it!
For the first time, Gu Yu felt that the leaders of Haidong University really understood human nature, cared deeply for students, and were very clear about right and wrong!
That's totally correct!
If a student makes a mistake, then a school-wide reprimand is in order!
Only then will the student realize their mistake and in the future, they will make more mistakes... spit! I mean, not make mistakes!
Right! The teacher responsible for the announcement is very responsible! He admired that!
Gu Yu felt overjoyed, and he seemed to be not that angry anymore about his roommates filming him in secret.
Humming a tune while climbing the stairs.
"Eh? Gu Yu! Have you had dinner?"
Suddenly someone behind him called out, and Gu Yu turned his head to find it was Wang from the neighboring dorm.
Gu Yu's face instantly looked troubled, but there was a hint of amusement twinkling in his eyes.
"That's right! I'm the one who broke the backboard! Alas, I got a school-wide reprimand!"
Wang: "???"
"No... I was asking if you've had your dinner?"
Thinking Gu Yu hadn't heard him properly, he asked again.
Gu Yu let out a deep sigh, his smile undiminished, and slung his arm around Wang's shoulder:
"Ah~ Wang, you don't have to comfort me! Can't help it, I broke the backboard, I made a mistake, I accept the reprimand!"
Wang looked bewildered: "???"
"What breaking the board... Wait a minute! You mean you're the beast everyone at school has been talking about since yesterday evening, the one who smashed the backboard on the basketball court?!"
"Damn! For real?"
Wang finally caught on, but still seemed skeptical.
They occasionally had basketball matches against Gu Yu's dorm, and while Gu Yu was a decent player, did he really have the power to break a backboard?!
"Heh... it's posted on the notice board by the ground floor dorm supervisor's window!"
Gu Yu said casually.
"Wait! Wait for me!"
Wang didn't believe it and held Gu Yu in place, then dashed downstairs to check the announcement.
A minute later, he came bounding back up.
He was still out of breath but gave Gu Yu a thumbs-up first.
"Damn! It really is you! Awesome!"
Gu Yu raised an eyebrow in pride, "Of course I'm awesome! Come on! Let's play basketball together in tomorrow morning's PE class, I'll show you another backboard smash!"
"Definitely show one!"
Wang was also excited. Was O'Neal actually right beside me?
The two of them, chattering and laughing, went up the stairs arm in arm.
