C115 Mysterious Boyfriend
Walking down the rooftop of the library, my crazily beating heart gradually calmed down, returning to its normal level.
He was clearly in his twenties already, and had even been in a relationship. Every time he got close to Ou Jia Rui, he would still feel like a little deer bumping into him.
In my heart, I secretly crowned Ou Jia Rui with the title of a demon.
The moment I close my eyes, under the weak light from the bright lantern on the rooftop, O'Jia Rui's handsome angular face will appear in my mind. Luckily, O'Jia Rui is a man.
At this moment, I've found a million reasons for myself, but I don't dare to admit a given fact. It's because in my heart, I actually have a constantly accumulating good impression of Ou Jia Rui.
October was about to pass. Although the sun was still shining in B City during the day, when the wind blew during the night, it also gave off the feeling of late autumn. When I went up to the roof, O'Ciaran had already taken off her suit jacket and wrapped it around me, still warm from his body heat.
Walking out of the library's main door, I met a few girls who were self-study after an entire day's worth of work. At this moment, the main hall of the library was brightly lit, making me and Ou Jia Rui extremely clear.
Ou Jia Rui's appearance compared to those so-called entertainment stars and fresh meat on TV can only be considered better, and has already become the focus of attention of those girls. Ou Jia Rui didn't care, she had long gotten used to this kind of life, but neither of us noticed that one of them quietly raised the camera towards us.
"You're not allowed to wear this little in the future. Do you have any ginger at home? I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold when we get home." "My hand is still cold." "No," I said. This time, I didn't resist.
When we got to my apartment building, I waved at Ojaru. "Drive carefully on your way home. Send me a message when you get home."
"What? You're looking forward to driving me away? I haven't offended you to such an extent!" Ou Jia Rui pretended to be wronged.
"No, it's just that it's very late now. If you don't leave quickly, it'll be around midnight by the time you get home."
Ou Jia Rui nodded. "Yes, it's so late now. I'm really sleepy. I'll reluctantly stay here today. Anyway, I don't want to stay here anymore. I have a seat again." I secretly rolled my eyes, but I felt that Ojira, who was acting so shamelessly and wanting to stay here, was somehow adorable.
"Alright, then come with me. Since you've already taken off your clothes for me, you should be cold as well, right?" I was the first to walk into the building. I didn't even look behind me before I knew that Ojira must be following me closely. From the moment I met him, he had been like this, always thinking of ways to stay by my side.
From the initial resistance to the slow acceptance later on, until now, I seemed to have become more and more accustomed to the existence of Ojira Rui.
Using the cola that hadn't been finished in the fridge at home, together with the ginger that had been beaten into mincemeat in the processor, I made a pot of hot cola and ginger soup. I scooped out two bowls and handed them over to O'Jia Rui while it was still hot.
After finishing my work on the school anniversary, my entire being relaxed a little. Thinking about giving myself a night of vacation and not thinking about the competition, Ou Jia Rui and I quietly sat on the soft and comfortable sofa in the living room, looking at things separately.
When I opened my WeChat, I was shocked by the news that exceeded 99% in the class chat. I thought that everyone would be busy resting or out having fun on a night when big projects had just ended, but I didn't expect they would still have the mood to chat in the group chat.
Afraid of missing any important news, I still opened the chat log. After flipping through it for a long time, I discovered that many people were mentioning my name. I hastily sent a "What's wrong with everyone?"
It was as if a stone had been thrown into a thousand ripples. The WeChat group that had just quieted down immediately became lively again.
"Ah, Yao Yao, you've come."
"Our Yao Yao is really secretive. When did she become such an outstanding boyfriend?"
"When are you going to bring Brother-in-law to play with us?"
"Wow, those girls from the Art Academy who always say that our Yao Yao and that Senior Zhao Yuhao have some unclear relationship, can finally shut up now, right?"
"… …"
For a moment I couldn't make heads or tails of it, so I quickly typed in a long list of questions.
"Yaoyao, you're still hiding this from us. The school's internet is completely exposed. No wonder you're so indifferent to our great scholar Lin." Lin Feng is my top student in the Chinese Literature Department.
Seeing this message, I immediately glanced at Ou Jia Rui guiltily. The tyranny and possessiveness that was born in him was always the most detestable, and this was also the reason why I repeatedly wanted to leave him. Relying on and resisting, my feelings for Ou Jia Rui was complex and tangled.
Lin Feng immediately stood up and said, "Don't talk nonsense, we have always been good friends."
Very soon, someone very 'affectionately' posted a screenshot of the school's internet. Because the light was better, anyone who saw me would immediately be able to recognize that person as I am. It seems that people who secretly took pictures often do this kind of thing, my facial features are clearly visible.
Fortunately, when that person was in the dark, O'Jia Rui happened to turn around and button up the top button of my windbreaker, so I was only photographed with a blurry profile, but that was enough to drive those who saw the post crazy.
Whether it was in terms of hairstyle or figure, anyone who was slightly familiar with Zhao Yuhao would know that the person in the photo was not the same Zhao Yuhao who had just arrived this morning as an outstanding graduate representative at the school anniversary ceremony.
"That, Ou Jia Rui." I called out to O'Ciaran, who had been studying the document.
He looked up from his papers. "Ah, what is it?"
I said hesitantly, "About that, I have something I want to tell you. That is, this …" Ochira waited patiently for what I was going to say.
"Yeah, you might be on fire."
Ou Jia Rui laughed: "Is this your first day knowing me? I should have been quite well-known in B City. "
I didn't know how to explain it to Ou Jia Rui, so I quickly opened the school's intranet. I searched for the post that had already shown a few thousand views within an hour. I held it up in front of Ou Jia Rui with my eyes closed: "The people from B University probably think that you're some rich person that's raising me."
Ou Jia Rui held the phone and looked at it for a long time before finally asking me, "Did you not read the content of the post at all? No one said that you were taken in by me."
"What?" As if struck by lightning, I quickly snatched my cell phone from Ozara's hands and flipped through the pages. The comment surprised me.
The post publisher said, "Today in the library, I met the legendary Queen of Gossip, Zhou Xinyao, with a particularly handsome man beside her. I swear, he's really the most handsome man I've seen in the past twenty years. The two's mannerisms are very intimate, and from the looks of it, they should be male and female friends.
I was amused by the tone of the snitch. I thought it was someone who had gone through hundreds of battles and wanted to kill me. Now, it seems that he was just sighing after seeing Ou Jia Rui.
Among the comments, some people had already taken out the custom-made high-end brand from head to toe. Some people roughly estimated that Ou Jia Rui's outfit was no less than 300,000 yuan. Immediately, some people commented below, "Heavens, God is really unfair. Why are some people so good-looking and so rich?"
"Previously, I've always been saying that Senior Zhou Xinyao and Zhao Yuhao don't understand each other, but in my opinion, that's not necessarily the case. When the two of them are together, they always maintain a safe distance of half a meter. And looking at this handsome guy, he's buttoning her up again, this is too sweet!"
As if struck by a magic spell, I drew the interface to the very top of the photo and discovered that it was indeed rather intimate. I secretly pressed on it to save it.
Amongst the group of people who shouted loudly and were ashamed of themselves for misunderstanding my relationship with Zhao Yuhao, there would occasionally be a few discordant voices, "The people these days are really more and more able to talk while looking at the pictures, how do you know that the person in the picture is a man and a woman friend, and not the relationship between the potential customer and his mistress?
Below this comment was a reply from Lin Qiu Xuan: "You can tell from the picture. The two of them are so equal, even Zhou Xinyao was held by that man from behind, and even helped button her buttons. The two of them are about the same age.
Lin Qiuxuan's reply was approved by many. I sent her a private message on WeChat, only sending her a short "thank you". I think she could understand what I meant.
"Do you understand now? This time, you have to think that your name is righteous. You really didn't mean to interfere in the affairs of the Liu family. Tell me, how should I thank you?" From Ou Jia Rui's words, I heard a trace of arrogance and thought that it might be my imagination.
I pointed to the two empty bowls on the table and said, "Look, you drank the Cola Ginger Soup that I personally made, and I even took you in for one night. It should be enough."
Ou Jia Rui exaggeratedly said, "I didn't expect you to be such a petty person."
"How is it? I'm just that petty." After the joke, I seriously asked, "However, Ou Jia Rui, do you really not mind? I heard that people in your circle love to keep a low profile everyday and focus on protecting their privacy."
"Our circle? Aren't we in the same boat? " Ou Jia Rui smiled and said, "The only thing I mind is that they are talking nonsense. How can I be your boyfriend? I have already held a grand wedding ceremony with you, your husband."
Seeing that I was still a little worried, Ou Jia Rui added, "Those rich people are afraid of scandal. It's because the target of the scandal is most likely related to them, so they chose to keep a low profile. You're my wife, so what's there to be afraid of?"
