During the first period of the morning, Xu Qingman had just sat down when she heard Chen Fang whisper in her ear, "Manman, were you happy last night?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingman quickly glanced around, blushed, and slapped her, "You're going to die, saying whatever comes to mind, we're in a classroom."

"Hehehe...we were just curious. You two couldn't have just been chatting under the covers last night, could you?" Zhao Lina nudged her gently, her gossipy expression barely concealed.

Xu Qingman…

Last night, they didn't even manage a simple chat under the covers; they spent the whole night "cultivating" (a euphemism for sexual activity). But I can't say that, so let them imagine whatever they want.

Lin Yali, however, thought for a moment before saying, "Manman, we're only freshmen after all, so there are some things we need to be careful about. We finally got into university, so we still need to finish these four years."

Xu Qingman understood what she meant; she was simply telling her to be careful not to cause any death. Although such a problem wouldn't arise at the moment, Xu Qingman still thanked her sincerely.

At this moment, Fang Yu, who was sitting to the right of the group, shouted, "Stop talking, the Black-Faced God is here."

Upon hearing this, the group quickly sat up straight. "Black-faced God" was the nickname given to their homeroom teacher, Professor Shen, by his classmates.

Professor Shen is actually a nice person, a kind old man. He is always very amiable when he meets students in his class, and he will even warmly invite students to his home for meals.

However, as soon as he stands on the podium, he becomes a completely different person, showing no mercy to anyone. No one dares to make any small movements in his class.

Professor Shen's class finally ended, and as he left, many of the students were twisting their waists and necks.

Fang Yu approached the group again, "Hey, Fang, what were you guys talking about just now? I think I saw you guys on 'Riding the Waves' last night."

Last night, he not only saw them, but also learned that they were with one of the restaurant owners, Brother Yu. His cousin was also one of the three owners, so he knew Yu Jinchen.

"Xu Qingman's boyfriend treated us to dinner last night. Oh, you were here too. Why didn't you invite us?" Chen Fang replied, giving him a disgruntled look. He saw her last night and didn't even say hello?

Fang Yu awkwardly scratched his head, "Uh, I went with my parents yesterday. Didn't you say yourself that we can't go public now?"

"Oh! Another pair of childhood sweethearts. I wish I had one like that too." Zhao Lina looked at them with envy in her eyes.

Lin Yali covered her mouth and laughed, "Hahaha, then Lina, when you go home, go through all the boys you grew up with, and see which one is suitable, just go for it."

"I'd love to, but there's no one like that around me. The only suitable one isn't even as tall as me. Sigh! Looks like I'm just not lucky."

Zhao Lina remembered that before school started, the boy had said he wanted to try dating her. Immediately, she pictured the short boy leaning on her shoulder like a little bird. Ugh, no way, that would ruin her image.

During afternoon classes, Xu Qingman always felt that several eyes were staring at her, but she couldn't find anyone when she looked over.

It wasn't until just before the last class that Chen Fang, panting, ran into the classroom and cleared up her doubts.

"Hoo hoo... Slowly, do you know what rumors people in our college are spreading about you? They're infuriating! They're spreading rumors about things they haven't even seen themselves."

Seeing Chen Fang covered in sweat, Xu Qingman slowly took out a bottle of water from her bag and handed it to her, saying with a faint smile, "Don't rush, drink some water first."

Chen Fang took the drink and gulped it down, then glared at her and said angrily, "You still have the mind to laugh? We're in a real crisis."

“A classmate of mine from high school just told me that someone saw you getting out of a luxury car at the school gate early this morning, and that you must be someone’s sugar daddy.”

Xu Qingman chuckled upon hearing this. No wonder she felt like people were pointing fingers at her all day; this was the reason.

Lin Yali also got anxious, looking at her with an expression of anger and disappointment, and said, "You still have the mind to laugh? Quickly explain this clearly."

Xu Qingman smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I believe Afang has already explained it. What's the point of asking her?"

Chen Fang nodded and then shook her head, indicating that Xu Qingman was right. She had indeed tried to explain, and even had an argument with some of the most vocal ones, but it was all to no avail.

Chen Fang and the others looked at her with concern, asking her if she had any good ideas, as they couldn't keep letting them spread the word forever.

Xu Qingman gave them a reassuring look, telling them to calm down and that she wouldn't let herself be taken advantage of.

Since someone is deliberately spreading these things to ruin her, they must have a purpose. As long as she doesn't rush things, the other party will definitely continue to make moves, and then they will be able to catch the person.

Xu Qingman ignored the glances people gave her behind her back and continued doing what she was supposed to do. Every day, she still had the driver sent by Yu Jinchen pick her up and drop her off.

On Friday evening, after finishing his work, Yu Jinchen went to the school to pick up his girlfriend.

As soon as Xu Qingman got into the car, she saw someone rush to the front of the car and grab onto the door that hadn't been closed in time.

"Sir, do you remember me?"

Yu Jinchen glanced at the newcomer and said coldly, "I don't know him. Please let go."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mengting stiffened and lowered her hand, but did not leave. She only gave him a polite smile and said, "Sir, you've been so good to Xu Qingman, do you know what she's been doing behind your back?"

"I don't want to know. No matter what she does, I trust her. Besides, this is between the two of us, and it's none of your business as an outsider."

Even after hearing his words, Xiao Mengting remained unconvinced. She refused to believe that there were any couples in the world she couldn't break up.

She glanced at Xu Qingman with a cold smile and continued, "These past few days, people at school have been saying that she's being kept by someone. And indeed, there's a man who looks like the boss who's been personally picking her up and dropping her off every day."

"Besides, I heard that Xu Qingman hasn't been back to the dormitory these days. I just think you're a good person and I can't bear to let you be deceived by her."

Yu Jinchen wanted to say that the car was sent by her, but seeing the look of anticipation in his girlfriend's eyes, he had no choice but to play along.

Yu Jinchen's face darkened instantly. He slammed the car door shut, and the car shot forward like an arrow.

Seeing the car drive away, Xiao Mengting wasn't angry; she just smiled slightly as she watched it disappear into the distance. Based on her understanding of most men, she was certain Xu Qingman's boyfriend was angry.

But most men are proud and wouldn't ask directly in public. She could already imagine that Xu Qingman would be dumped soon, and then her chance would come.

She had already found out Yu Jinchen's identity; he was one of the owners of the Chengfeng Polang Buffet Restaurant, and she heard he had other businesses as well.

According to one of her admirers who worked there during the summer, that buffet restaurant alone makes millions in profit every month. Even if the three of them split it equally, they would still make hundreds of thousands, not to mention that Yu Jinchen owns half of the shares.

Xiao Mengting knew perfectly well that Yu Jinchen was the only wealthy person she currently had a chance to get close to, and she would definitely not give up.
