CHAPTER 66: CHAPTER 28: THE INNOCENT ARE INNOCENT

The dawn light of winter always breaks very late. Wanwan slept extremely soundly that night, her bed constantly warm, even her pillow was more comfortable than usual.

She shifted her body, wanting to roll over, but was unexpectedly blocked. She frowned in annoyance, keeping her eyes closed, instinctively reaching out to feel the obstacle in front.

It was a bit elastic, warm to the touch and felt pretty good.

She couldn’t help pinching it a little, slowly opened her eyes, and was greeted by an unfamiliar environment. Her mind went blank for a moment, then she turned her head along with the warmth in her hand.

An incredibly handsome sleeping face was right there!

Wanwan quickly retracted her hand.

She... she... she actually slept with God!!!

She lifted the blanket to peek inside, seeing her clothes still on. She breathed a sigh of relief, mumbling, "Thank goodness, the clothes are still on, still on..."

Woken up by her noise, Fu Weiheng: "..."

Holding Wanwan the whole night, he couldn’t eat but could only look. As a result, he broke a sweat, and his cold had also completely healed.

Seeing he was well, Wanwan had breakfast and planned to return to school. Fu Weiheng didn’t want to let her leave so early, asked, "Today is the weekend, aren’t we going to a date?"

Wanwan hesitated for a moment, glanced at the date on her phone, lied, "Neil, I have a practice session with Xu Chengyang and the others today. You know, the New Year’s Eve party is coming soon..."

Fu Weiheng gave in helplessly, sighed, "Alright then, let’s go, I’ll take you."

Wanwan guiltily tugged at his sleeve, "I’m sorry..."

Fu Weiheng chuckled, "It’s okay, there’s always time in the future."

...

When Wanwan returned to the dorm with breakfast, the two were already up, having just finished freshening up but hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. She arrived just in time, barely put the breakfast bag down on the table before it got completely swept away by the two.

Xu Chengyang was extremely satisfied, "Is God’s cold better, Wanwan?"

Wanwan: "Yeah, it’s better."

"No substantial progress last night?" Yao Ye sat on a chair, kicked off, the rollers below slid her over to Wanwan’s side, smiling suggestively.

Wanwan paused for a second, "...No."

The two had expressions full of disbelief, like they’d be dogs if they trusted her.

Wanwan ignored them, took out a set of clothes from the cabinet, and asked unprecedentedly, "Do you have time? Want to go shopping?"

The two looked surprised.

Xu Chengyang, "Did I hear wrong? You’re asking us to go shopping?"

Yao Ye, "Aren’t you the laziest when it comes to shopping?"

Wanwan pulled on a high-neck sweater, "Not lazy today."

Upon hearing this, the two promptly changed clothes, dragged Wanwan and caught a cab, hastily heading to the mall.

It’s already year-end, Christmas is approaching, and the mall is filled with a festive atmosphere characterized by exquisite decorations everywhere.

Xu Chengyang and Yao Ye stood in front of the boutique store, raised their eyes to the store’s Tiffany logo, watched as Wanwan walked straight to the men’s cufflinks counter, initially looked shocked, then suddenly enlightened.

"Wanwan! Saying you brought us to shop, turns out the drunkard’s intention was not on the drink!" Yao Ye went over and wrapped her arm around Wanwan’s neck, raising her brows, "Here to pick a gift for God?"

Wanwan awkwardly didn’t respond.

Xu Chengyang sauntered over, propped her forearm on the counter, said, "Next week is Christmas, our God’s birthday is coming soon."

Yao Ye clapped her hands, suddenly remembered too, "Ah, God’s birthday is December 24th, Christmas Eve. No wonder you’re in such a rush, tsk-tsk, this is Tiffany, Wanwan, it’s not cheap."

"I saved some money while working during summer break." Wanwan said lightly, then suddenly turned her head toward Xu Chengyang, sternly warning her, "No posting on social media!"

Xu Chengyang froze, extremely aggrieved, "I was just about to post!"

Yao Ye, "You came secretly, hiding from God?"

"Yeah, I said I was practicing with you today."

Xu Chengyang seized the opportunity, raised her chin high, "Then treat me to two cups of pearl milk tea, one portion of egg waffles, two portions of curry fish balls, and I won’t post."

Wanwan: "..."

"Go ahead and kill her, Wanwan." Yao Ye said, "I’m tempted to kill her just hearing it."

Xu Chengyang: "..."

In the end, Wanwan bought a pair of cufflinks with a sapphire blue silver edge. The design was exquisite and small, reflecting silver light under the lamp, simple yet elegant. For Fu Weiheng, who often wore shirts, these cufflinks were perfect. It’s just during payment, Wanwan felt her heart ache for a moment. With just one swipe of her card, her two months’ salary was gone...

But thinking about all the sacrifices Fu Weiheng made for her, she suddenly felt it was just a drop in the bucket, nothing much at all.

With things prepared, Wanwan promised to treat Xu Chengyang and Yao Ye to milk tea and egg waffles. During the payment wait, she unexpectedly received a call from Fu Weijin—

"Wanwan, where are you?"

The milk tea shop was crowded, noisy, Wanwan put away her wallet and walked to the entrance, replied, "I’m outside."

Fu Weijin, "Do you have time to go shopping with me? Neil’s birthday is coming soon, I haven’t prepared his gift yet."

Su Wan was taken aback; what a coincidence. She replied, "I’m at the shopping mall in East Lake District right now. I have two friends with me. Do you want to come over?"

Fu Weijin thought that was perfect. She got into the car, fastened her seatbelt, and replied cheerfully, "Sure, find a place and wait for me. I’ll be there in fifteen minutes."

Su Wan agreed.

The mall was packed with people on the weekend. They waited over twenty minutes just to get their bubble tea. Su Wan mentioned that Fu Weijin would be coming over, and her friends were extremely enthusiastic. Xu Chengyang excitedly gestured, "The Goddess’s sister—she must be a fairy. I need to catch some fairy dust!"

Su Wan, Yao Ye: "..."

Fu Weijin arrived quickly, just after they found a dessert shop to sit in. She called to ask where they were, and Su Wan gave her the address.

After Fu Weijin arrived, Su Wan briefly introduced everyone and then called the waiter to order some dishes.

Xu Chengyang, being outgoing, was always the one to liven up the atmosphere, especially since the person in front of her was a super beauty. For a face lover like Xu Chengyang, she couldn’t resist starting a conversation, and was the first to speak: "Sister Fu, are you also here to pick out a gift for the God?"

Perhaps because they were siblings, Fu Weijin’s demeanor and looks were similar to Fu Weiheng’s at first glance—slightly aloof and distant. But in terms of personality, they were completely different. Fu Weijin was more easygoing and often greeted people with a smile, making her easier to get along with.

Fu Weijin took a sip of warm water, raised an eyebrow with a knowing smile, and asked, "Also?"

"Wanwan just bought a birthday gift for the God," Xu Chengyang pointed with her lips at the Tiffany bag on the sofa.

"Really?" Fu Weijin was surprised and eager to see Su Wan’s gift. "Can I take a look?"

Su Wan pushed the bag in front of her.

Fu Weijin opened the box and exclaimed in admiration, "It’s beautiful, Wanwan. Tiffany—it must have cost you quite a bit, right?"

Su Wan hurriedly waved her hand to say, "It’s nothing... Compared to what Neil does, this is a minor thing."

Fu Weijin smiled, feeling very gratified inside.

At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes, and when Xu Chengyang passed Yao Ye’s share, she noticed Yao Ye staring gravely at her phone as if something major had happened.

Su Wan noticed too, thinking something might have happened at Yao Ye’s home, and quickly asked, "Yao Yao, what’s wrong?"

Yao Ye finally looked up from her phone, a hint of anger in her eyes, "Wanwan, check the class group chat."

The messages in the class group chat had already surpassed three hundred. Su Wan tapped to view the previous content, and the chat history jumped to the top.

The first message was a campus forum share post from Wangzai Xiaocaitou.

Then, they tagged Xu Chengyang, Su Wan, and Yao Ye in the group.

The title of the post read: "The moral standards are declining, and human hearts are tainted! A female music academy student is being kept by a rich sponsor, getting into a luxury car below the dorm."

Su Wan felt a sense of foreboding and clicked in calmly.

The page quickly displayed, with the eye-catching title followed by a series of images. Scrolling down, the photos depicted Su Wan getting into Fu Weijin’s car below the dormitory yesterday. The camera was aimed at the car front, capturing her as she opened the car door and leaned in, with the trident emblem in front being particularly conspicuous. There were even a few close-ups showing her face very clearly.

The post’s author included a comment under the images: "Unexpected, isn’t it? The seemingly cold and pure music department student is just like this. Seeing her daily self-righteous demeanor, who would have thought she’s not as pure as she seems. Haha, turns out she’s been kept all along."

The author’s comment was unfriendly, full of sarcasm. The driver couldn’t be seen in the photos, leading to malicious speculation based solely on a few pictures. It was clearly a purposeful attack.

The post had been pinned due to its high click rate, with comments coming in nonstop, some adding fuel to the fire, while others spoke out in defense.

...

247L: I’ve seen this beauty before; she’s from the orchestra department of the music academy. She’s truly gorgeous, but who’d have thought? You can know a person by their face but not by their heart...

248L: Shocking! The pure beauty gets into a luxury car, and it turns out to be...

249L: Are you sent by UC News, upstairs?

250L: Is there any beauty who’s truly pure? It’s not a new thing.

...

851L: I was there yesterday; the driver was a woman. Isn’t the author’s rhetoric a bit harsh?

852L: Yes, but who says the female driver can’t be the sponsor’s mistress?

853L: Now I see why she always rejected the piano department’s Gu Ming. Turns out...

854L: Wasn’t she also called the flower of the orchestra department? I think she’s just okay, appearance-wise.

855L: I’ve seen people confess to her several times, and she rejected them. Turns out she was holding out for a big fish.

...

1178L: Do you all have nothing better to do? How do you know what kind of person she is? If you haven’t interacted with her, then shut up!

1179L: Such sour words, author. Seems like you’ve been watching our department’s flower for a while, huh?

1180L: Author, better hope we don’t find out who you are.

1181L: Are you jealous of how many have confessed to our department’s flower? So bitter, seriously.

...

"Oh my! Who the hell did this?" Xu Chengyang clutched her phone, swearing in anger, "Did Wanwan do something to provoke them?"

Seeing Xu Chengyang’s strong reaction, Fu Weijin narrowed her eyes, "What’s going on?"

Yao Ye silently passed her phone to Fu Weijin.
