DFYMHGFS Chapter 53

53 – The small curly hair rubbed against the man’s sturdy chest, and the sound of a steady and powerful heartbeat came from behind his ears.

In the first week of school, the coursework is not heavy, and An Xing quickly found the familiar rhythm of school.

Now that he’s older, he has fewer professional classes than he did in his sophomore year, mainly electives. Because of the difference in the direction of the elective courses, the schedule of the four people in the dormitory is very different, and they do not overlap each other too much.

An Xing genuinely likes art itself and is talented. In most of the major courses in the first two years of college, his grades are among the top in the class. There are a few exciting elective courses in the university, and the lecturers are the best in the industry, and the acceptance of students depends not only on the speed of their hands, but also on their grades.

An Xing naturally succeeded in the selection, likewise submitting an application Su Yiran was not selected for these courses.

So for the whole week, except for the big class on Friday afternoon, An Xing had no overlapping classes with Su Yiran.

It’s very pleasant.

After the drama on the first day of school, Su Yiran ran to explain to An Xing with a soft apologetic face, trying to make An Xing believe that he really didn’t mean anything at that time, but was just worried about An Xing.

Although An Xing is a little fool, he is not stupid at all when it comes to people he is close to. When it comes to people he hates, he is not stupid at all.

“It doesn’t matter what you think, I don’t care, and you don’t need to come and say anything to me again, because I won’t treat you as a friend anymore.”

Su Yiran found An Xing in the dormitory and attempted to morally accuse him in front of the other two roommates.

If the An Xing of the past, there was no chance that she would have forgiven Su Yiran, but the An Xing of today was the reborn Xing Xing who had returned!

“If Ning Rong and I don’t have a good relationship, you definitely would not come to me to apologize, right? Maybe even step on me to please Ning Rong.”

An Xing smiled calmly, facing this former best friend, there was not a single ripple in his heart, only boredom.

He had really treated Su Yiran as a friend in the past, and even though they had some things where their philosophies didn’t match, he didn’t mind. He was making friends, as long as his friends were good to him, why bother with so much?

Now An Xing felt that his concept of making friends was a bit of a problem, and it was time to change.

As for Su Yiran, who wanted to step on him to curry favor with Ning Rong after the truth came out in his last life, An Xing only hoped that this person would not appear to be an eyesore again.

“So stay away from me, please.”

Su Yiran stood next to An Xing, his pretty face reddened and his usual eloquence could not be utilized at all, and he could not utter a single word with his mouth open.

The other two people in the dormitory are both grinning broadly, and once upon a time, they only thought that Su Yiran’s mind was too meticulous, but they never thought that this person’s heart was also crooked. The two of them sat in their seats and said nothing, and did not have the intention of coming to round up the situation.

An Xing had turned back and no longer paid attention to Su Yiran. He only used his peripheral vision to pay attention to Su Yiran’s actions through the mirror in front of him, to prevent the other party from being so angry that he lost his mind and did something irrational.

Fortunately, Su Yiran was not stupid enough to that point to stand in place in impotent rage for a while, and he returned to his position in a rage.

Only then did An Xing put his heart down and reopened the drawer, taking out his sketchbook to scribble.

At least he was also a ex-rich young master who had seen his share of deception, and with Shen Ying’s constant ear, An Xing paid close attention to privacy and safety – he had a drawer with a lock, which was specially used for storing his usual design assignments and drawings.

When he first started his freshman year of college, An Xing listened to his mom and took the electronic lock brought from home and used it to lock the drawer.

At that time, the four of them in the dormitory were already very familiar with each other, and when Su Yiran saw him locking up his design assignments, he teared up and said that it wasn’t very nice, it was like he was defending himself against his roommate. As the closest roommates, they should trust each other or something. An Xing was making sketches in his book, idly thinking, what did he say at that time?

Oh yes, he didn’t even hear the provocative intent outside Su Yiran’s words at that time, and said seriously:

“How could it be? In order not to destroy this trust, we have to take safety measures. This way, if something happens, we can explain it clearly without doubting each other!”

The other roommates nodded their heads in agreement, and at that time Su Yiran’s smile became a bit forced, but unfortunately he didn’t notice.

An Xing suddenly remembered that during the summer vacation, Su Yiran interned in the design department of the Weiqing Jewelry Company, and also participated in the exchange and learning sessions hosted by Lu, just like him. And according to Xiao Rui, the Weiqing Jewelry Company had a history of plagiarism.

Well, all the more reason for him to lock up the drawer properly, An Xing thought silently.

*

Soon it was Friday, in the afternoon there was a big theory class, and the four people in the dormitory were sitting together. Feeling his cell phone vibrating, An Xing took it out between classes and glanced at it, and saw that it was a message from Lu Tian Shen and Ning Rong.

Lu Tian Shen: Let’s go eat Yunnan cuisine together in the evening?

Ning Rong: Are you going home on the weekend?

An Xing thought about it and first told Ning Rong that he would come home after dinner before clicking on the dialog box with Lu Tian Shen.

An Xing will make it: yeah, yeah, yeah! Are you coming to pick me up?

Lu Tian Shen: Well, wait after class, I’ll drive the car into the school, it’s too sunny outside.

Thinking of today’s temperature of 40 degrees on the surface, An Xing immediately agreed.

An Xing Xing will make it: I get out of class at 4:30, in the No. 8 school building.

Putting away his cell phone, An Xing was in a good mood as he looked down to catch up on his notes.

One of the roommates, Zhou Bin, patted An Xing’s arm.

“Xing ah, are we going to eat after school? There’s a new hot pot restaurant outside the school, it seems to have a good flavor.”

“I’m not going, I have something to do today.” An Xing shook her head, “I’m going home on the weekend.”

“Ohhhh!”

Thinking of the change that happened to An Xing, Zhou Bin hesitated for a moment, remembering that Su Yiran was also there, he did not continue to ask.

Su Yiran glanced sideways at An Xing and lowered his head to restrain the malice in his eyes. The rest of the class was spent in a weirdly excited anticipation.

The bell rang for the end of class, and the teacher on the podium said a few final words before announcing the end of class. This class on Friday was the last big class, and everyone swarmed towards the outside.

An Xing glanced at his cell phone, Lu Tian Shen’s real-time location showed that he had already arrived downstairs, so he packed up his things and picked up his bag, ready to separate after going down with his roommates.

Zhou Bin, who was very tall, reached out to take An Xing’s shoulder and casually said:

“Xing ah, I see that you’ve been drawing manuscripts for the past few days, are you working on some kind of design?”

An Xing gave a start, then remembered.

“Oh! I forgot to tell you guys! I’m going to participate in the Jewelry Design Competition this November, in one of the brand culture groups.”

Su Yiran turned around sharply and looked at An Xing in shock, but An Xing did not pay attention to the look. He was grabbed by Zhou Bin’s shoulders and asked excitedly:

“Really? It’s your family’s company that submitted the quota?”

“It’s not my company in the future!”

Thinking that he wouldn’t have to inherit the family business in the future, worrying day in and day out that the company would be bankrupted by himself, An Xing raised his chin in triumph.

“It’s a recommendation slot for An Ning Jewelry, dad gave me ah!”

The teenager shook his head, the small curly hair on top of his head fluttering in the wind.

The two housemates were happy for An Xing, pulling him bla bla bla, only Su Yiran walked quietly beside him, trying his best to hide his ugly complexion.

He was already a senior this year and also wanted to participate in this competition. But Su Yiran knew his own level, if he participated in the design group, it was impossible for him to get a good ranking, or he would even directly fall out of the competition. But he was only an intern in Weiqing Jewelry, he simply couldn’t get the company’s recommended place.

As for An Xing, although he was a bit talented, if he didn’t have the An family’s connections in place, on what basis would he be able to get a spot to participate in the brand culture group?

The jealousy in the bottom of his heart was like ants crazily gnawing at his internal organs, Su Yiran took his cell phone and glanced at the real-time positioning, the corner of his mouth revealed a cold smile.

Several people went out of the teaching building, An Xing was still talking to his two roommates, when his peripheral vision saw someone walking in this direction. He didn’t take it seriously and only slightly sidestepped, not wanting to collide with someone. But what he didn’t expect was that the person stopped in front of them and stopped him.

An Xing turned around strangely, and saw that it was a middle-aged man who stopped in front of him, and behind this man there was a taller man who was grasping a DSLR camera.

The camera was facing An Xing and the indicator light was flashing, showing recording in progress.

An Xing sensed that something was wrong and furrowed his eyebrows. The surrounding students who hadn’t gone far yet also sensed that something was wrong, and slowed down their steps, looking in this direction.

The middle-aged man walked close to An Xing, took out a tape recorder, and without a second thought shoved it to An Xing’s mouth and said loudly:

“May I ask if you are Mr. An Xing An? You are the son of the current president of An Ning Jewelry right? I heard that you are actually a fake, and that you were mistakenly carried with the real child of the An family, is that right?”

“What are your thoughts on this matter?”

“Hey hey! What kind of person are you! What are you doing!”

Although Zhou Bin was an art student, he was tall and had a straight temper, and instinctively felt that this man was not harboring good intentions, and frowned as he chided at the man.

The middle-aged man didn’t care about Zhou Bin, bypassing the boys, tirelessly stretching his arms and continuing to direct the recorder towards An Xing in dislike.

“I am a reporter! Mr. An you accept my interview! Is everything I just said true, were you carried by mistake at birth?”

Hearing this person say he was a reporter, Zhou Bin hesitated for a moment. He hadn’t seen a reporter do a live interview before, so he didn’t know if he should continue to stop.

Another roommate did know a bit about this and pulled An Xing over, prompting:

“If you don’t want to, you have the right to refuse the interview, and if he forces the interview or secretly films and records it, you can sue him.”

An Xing nodded and looked at the man.

“Which media are you from? Where’s the reporter’s license?”

The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed, turning a deaf ear to An Xing’s words, only continuing to hold up the recorder, the volume still loud.

“Since you carried the wrong child, how do you feel after enjoying the life of a rich young man for twenty years? Do you apologize for the wrong child?”

The crowd felt that something was wrong. This was not an interview, it was simply to find fault, right?

An Xing wasn’t stupid and knew that something was fishy, and when he heard the middle-aged man’s words, he tensed a small round face and didn’t say a word. And he was obviously right, because right after the middle-aged man asked, the person with the camera pointed the lens at An Xing, filming the expression on his face.

“Hey what’s wrong with you guys! Aren’t you guys reporters!”

Seeing that these two men were coming from a bad place, Zhou Bin was instantly enraged and pushed An Xing behind him to block the camera.

“Hold no hold wrong and you have nothing to do with it, just run to fool around, who are you guys!”

Unable to take a picture of An Xing, the other person simply pointed the camera at Zhou Bin. Seeing An Xing, he couldn’t just run away. He couldn’t let Zhou Bin take the trouble for him.

He quickly looked around and realized that quite a few students had stopped and were looking at this side whispering. And beside him, Su Yiran spoke again in a thin voice:

“Zhou Bin, don’t be like this, people are asking questions with a good attitude, don’t be so impulsive in your speech. An Xing being asked this way hasn’t gotten angry yet, you don’t be this nervous ah ……”

The Green tea b*tch.

The corner of An Xing’s mouth twitched and he understood, Su Yiran was afraid that he couldn’t draw hatred.

But it is also true that he did not intend to hide behind his roommates, took a deep breath, and walked out from behind Zhou Bin. Before he could open his mouth, a shout came from the distance.

“What are you two doing!”

Two security guards from the school were running this way, with very serious expressions on their faces.

The two unknowns were surprised, they didn’t expect the security guards in the school to be able to react so quickly, obviously this school didn’t prohibit outsiders from entering or leaving.

The students who saw the security guards rushing towards them were much more calm, and they even retreated towards both sides in a well-trained manner, making way for the security guards.

An Xing also felt relieved, and in his heart, he gave the security guards a nod of approval, and in the meantime, he sympathized with these two men.

These two people certainly do not know how “lively” the students in art universities are, and how passionate they are about performance art in their spare time, forcing the school security guards to work out how amazingly fast they are.

However, Anxing was too happy too early, just when he and his roommates were relaxing, the man with the SLR camera silently shooting next to him, suddenly stepped forward, staggering away from Zhou Bin, heavy SLR in his hand straight toward Anxing, with a whistling momentum, as if it was going to directly smash in Anxing’s face.

A DSLR camera is heavy, those who have carried it will know, not to mention that the lens is still poking at people’s eyes. An Xing subconsciously raised his hand to block his head, and took two steps back to avoid, and at the same time, Su Yiran, who had been standing next to him, suddenly moved a step, as if he was panicked to dodge, but he heavily bumped into An Xing.

His center of gravity was already unstable, An Xing immediately lost his balance and fell backward. He subconsciously closed his eyes, not yet thinking about whether to sacrifice his face to protect his head or what ……

Amidst a chorus of gasps, a sturdy and powerful arm suddenly wrapped around his waist, holding him steady.

An Xing opened his eyes in confusion, only to see the black SLR being knocked away and smashed on the ground, and a bony, slender and powerful hand, blocking his eyes.

“Brother Shen!”

The teenager backhandedly grabbed the arm that held him, and without turning around, he subconsciously called out the man’s name.

The small curly hair rubbed against the man’s sturdy chest, and the sound of a steady and powerful heartbeat came from behind his ears.
