You Zi Ming’s eyes flickered, he didn't answer his classmate.
Originally, when Lin Yi proactively proposed the marriage alliance, You Shi Group was facing its listing. His father learned of this news and was naturally overjoyed, agreeing without a second thought.
This led to his meeting with Lin Qing He at the business banquet a few days ago, which was arranged by his father.
He just didn't expect that after Lin Qing He left the banquet, Lin Yi went back on his word, saying the marriage alliance was off.
His father was so angry his face turned black. However, to ensure the listing's success, he decided to leak the secretly taken photos, prepared for Lin Yi's public relations campaign the next day.
Strangely, when the rumor about him and Lin Qing He being engaged spread, Lin Yi acted as if he didn't see it, making no effort to address it, letting the rumors spread further.
Although strange, his father was quite happy about anything beneficial to their family.
It was just that You Zi Ming couldn't understand. Lin Yi was the one who initiated the marriage alliance, the one who said it was off, and the one who allowed the rumors to spread so widely. Now Lin Qing He came to his classroom. What were he and his sister trying to do?
You Zi Ming sat down beside Lin Qing He. "Qing He, why did you suddenly come to find me..."
Before he could finish, Lin Qing He glanced at him with disdain. "Go back to your seat and don't come near me!"
You Zi Ming was stunned. "Qing He, what do you mean? Didn't you come to find me?"
Lin Qing He rolled her eyes. "Who said I came to find you? I'm just here to audit a class. It has nothing to do with you. Go back to your seat quickly, don't talk to me, I don't know you!"
"You..."
You Zi Ming was choked speechless for a moment. He stared at Lin Qing He for a few more glances, then returned to his original seat with a somber expression.
Hmph!
Lin Qing He used to like him so much. He didn't believe she could forget him so quickly in such a short time. Now she was even chasing him to his class, she must be playing hard to get.
He wanted to see who would crack first!
Fortunately, Lin Qing He had no idea what You Zi Ming was thinking, or she would have been amused to death.
Please, have some self-awareness! She wasn't the blind original body. With You Rong's face, who would fancy someone as unremarkable as him, easily lost in a crowd?
The teacher arrived. He turned a blind eye to the extra person in the classroom. Lin Qing He lay down on her desk and started to sleep.
Her purpose for coming to You Zi Ming's classroom today was simple. Once class was over, the news of her eagerly chasing You Zi Ming would quickly spread throughout Nan University and reach You Rong's ears, further solidifying the engagement rumors.
Finally, after a class, Lin Qing He left without even looking at You Zi Ming.
You Zi Ming's classmates didn't notice his grim expression and continued to tease him. "Zi Ming, you're so lucky! If only we had your luck. Lin Qing He might have a temper, but she's a young lady, so it's normal... She's beautiful, her family background is excellent, having a fiancée like that makes us all envious."
Hearing this, You Zi Ming felt inexplicably annoyed and said impatiently, "Move aside!"
His classmate, bewildered by his outburst, got up and moved aside. After You Zi Ming left, he muttered under his breath, "Everyone knows your family is relying on Lin Shi Group for the company's listing. Now that you're living off her, you're starting to act all high and mighty..."
Lin Qing He suppressed the urge to go find You Rong. She got out of the teaching building, got into the car, and asked Steward Wang to take her home.
Watching Nan University recede in the rearview mirror until it disappeared from sight, a hint of loss, unnoticed even by herself, appeared on Lin Qing He's face.
That afternoon.
"Sigh, did you hear? Lin Qing He went to You Zi Ming's class today, just like before, shamelessly chasing after You Zi Ming and throwing herself at him."
"What's this about throwing herself at him? They're practically engaged. They're a couple now, aren't they? Bringing your partner to class is something many people do."
"That's true. But didn't she just transfer to our computer science major not long ago? Is she going to transfer to the finance department again this time?"
"Probably. But why did she transfer to our major before? Was it to target You Rong? But it doesn't seem like it. I don't understand what she's thinking..."
You Rong sat at his seat, his expression calm, but the hand holding the pen paused at some point.
He lowered his gaze, his heart filled with bitterness.

Lin Qing He waited at home for two more days, watching her phone for any activity and the progress bar remaining unchanged. She was starting to get restless. Sudan Novel Network
This shouldn't be happening!
You Rong hadn't reacted at all?!
Was the stimulation not enough? Did she need to add another strong dose?
So, Lin Qing He, unwilling to give up, went to You Zi Ming's classroom to audit again. After class, she even pretended to sit near the basketball court where You Zi Ming played.
She deliberately ignored You Zi Ming the entire time, but she believed that with the power of gossip, from eyewitness accounts to the spread of the news, it would turn into her being the most desperate groupie for You Zi Ming.
Lin Qing He guessed this part correctly, but You Rong's reaction was still beyond her expectations.
You Rong, after all, liked her a little. Faced with such a situation, even if he didn't rush to her directly, he should at least send a WeChat message to probe the situation.
But he did nothing! No messages, no calls, not even a flicker of change on the system's progress bar.
For a moment, she didn't know whether to call You Rong a blockhead or an old fox who could play it cool!
Lin Qing He's eyes were sore from staring at her phone. She threw it aside and lay on the bed dejectedly.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe You Rong can stay so composed! I cannot be the one to crack this time. I absolutely must hold on and not go to see him! I want to make him think I'm with You Zi Ming, forcing him to come see me!"
For a moment, Lin Qing He missed the You Rong from her last life, who never hesitated. Once he fell for her, he would pursue her relentlessly, using any means necessary!
Who cares if a forced melon is sweet or not? I'll eat it first!

A week later.
In the teacher's office.
The teacher earnestly persuaded, "You Rong, I know your situation is special, but I hope you can attend the summer camp this weekend. After all, it's a group activity and beneficial for strengthening classmate relationships. You're too withdrawn usually, you need to participate more in group activities."
You Rong's eyes shifted slightly. "Group activity, does everyone have to participate?"
"Of course, I will require all classmates to participate! Once you're past your junior year, you'll start dispersing for internships in your senior year. It will be difficult to have opportunities like this to gather together again..."
You Rong: "Teacher, may I ask if Lin Qing He is still in our class?"
The teacher was surprised. "She didn't say she was transferring departments, she's still in our class. Why are you suddenly asking about her?"
You Rong pursed his lips and suddenly changed his mind. "Teacher, I will participate in the summer camp this weekend."
The teacher immediately showed a satisfied smile. "That's right. I'll be going too, and I'll ask the classmates to take care of you. Just think of it as a two-day trip to relax and refresh your mood."
"Mm."
You Rong limped out of the teacher's office.
She hadn't transferred departments, so she was still in his class. Would she attend the class's group activity?
Even though he knew the chances of Lin Qing He attending were slim, You Rong still agreed.
Deep down, he wanted to see her, even if it was just from afar, without speaking.
