"???"
In the eyes of Wang Ying, Professor Li, who was Jiang Mo’s mentor, and some teachers and students familiar with Jiang Mo’s personality, this scene was very abrupt.
Jiang Mo suddenly walked to the front of the stage as if she had lost her spirit and approached the young man who appeared out of nowhere, and then the young man covered her mouth...
Only Wang Ying and a few others who were close enough heard Jiang Mo vaguely say something, but it didn’t matter.
How can you use your rough hands to defile the goddess of our piano department!
Wang Ying didn’t even dare to pinch Jiang Mo’s face at will, let alone such an action, wasn’t it equivalent to a man’s palm touching her lips...
Oh no!
Some boys who had long been infatuated with Jiang Mo suddenly felt a tightness in their chests.
Let go of our Senior Sister Jiang!
Wang Ying raised an eyebrow and became quite angry, who allowed you to touch her...
But before she could take any action, she saw Jiang Mo blink and then obediently leaned into the young man’s arms.
The young man embraced her and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
Jiang Mo seemed to have no reaction, but Wang Ying clearly saw that one of her hands had somehow already grasped the young man’s sleeve, holding it very, very tightly...
...
"Senior Sister..."
Having timely avoided a socially devastating situation, Zhou Wang gently patted Jiang Mo’s back after holding her for a moment, suggesting that this wasn’t the right place, with so many people watching.
Burying her face in Zhou Wang’s shoulder and taking a deep breath of his scent, Jiang Mo then raised her head, her vision gradually recovering the presence of others.
Jiang Mo knew she had lost her composure earlier. She felt a bit embarrassed, but only Zhou Wang could see it. In others’ eyes, Jiang Mo’s expression remained indifferent.
"Is this your mentor? Can you introduce me?"
The students didn’t mind, but a female professor who had just shown concern for Zhou Wang was ignored by Jiang Mo, so Zhou Wang had to do some damage control.
Jiang Mo nodded and turned to introduce, "Professor Li Wei, the deputy director of our piano department... Professor Li, this is my husband, Zhou Wang."
There was a stir among the nearby crowd, WTF... husband?!
From the couple’s intimate behavior before, everyone knew their relationship wasn’t simple, but the most they expected Jiang Mo to say was "boyfriend." What was this "husband"?
Li Wei was taken aback for a moment, glanced up and down at Zhou Wang, but quickly replaced it with a smile, nodding to Zhou Wang, "Hello."
"Professor Li, hello."
Zhou Wang probably knew that Jiang Mo might not be good with peer relationships, but at higher levels, she certainly wouldn’t be subjected to any difficulties at school.
The reason was simple, because Jiang Mo was connected through Ding Yi, and a relative of Ding Yi held a high position at the academy. Of course, in such places, many people had connections, but Zhou Wang trusted Ding Yi’s connections to be solid.
This was evident from the attitude of the professor greeting Jiang Mo downstairs earlier, as Jiang Mo, with her unworldly nature, could still receive kindness from professors, which already explained a lot.
Now thinking about it, one of the main reasons Zhou Wang felt at ease letting Jiang Mo come to Beidou alone was because of Ding Yi.
Zhou Wang didn’t know what Ding Yi was really thinking, but she had this convincing strength, which was different from any other girl and could be called a "shining point" of her character.
"Zhou, maybe you should wait outside for a bit. Technically, our selection event here isn’t open to outsiders."
Li Wei looked around and softly told Zhou Wang, "The dean and others are also watching over here..."
Zhou Wang listened to the gradually increasing noise around and immediately understood.
Professor Li Wei wasn’t targeting him, and the main reason for asking him to leave wasn’t due to the so-called "non-open nature," but because Zhou Wang’s sudden appearance, coupled with Jiang Mo’s shocking "husband," had already caused some chaos in the classroom. His presence was overshadowing the occasion.
"No problem."
Zhou Wang cheerfully nodded and was about to turn around when he felt his sleeve being tugged.
He paused for a moment and then smiled at Jiang Mo, "You participate in the event with peace of mind, I’ll wait for you downstairs."
Jiang Mo needed to wait for the program selection results, leaving now was certainly inappropriate, so Zhou Wang said this.
But Jiang Mo still hesitated to speak.
The miraculous tacit understanding made Zhou Wang know what she was worried about, so Zhou Wang smiled again and reassured her, "Don’t worry, I’m not leaving today."
Upon hearing this, a trace of tranquility appeared in Jiang Mo’s eyes, she released her hand, and whispered, "There’s still half an hour."
"Alright."
Zhou Wang nodded and turned to leave, leaving behind only the escalating whispers in the classroom.
...
Near the flower bed downstairs.
Click!
Spinning a Zippo lighter in his palm in a stylish movie-inspired pose, Zhou Wang lit a cigarette and replied to Jiang Qingkui’s message. Just as he put away his phone, he heard footsteps behind him.
Startled, Zhou Wang turned to see a girl with a ponytail who had followed him at some point.
"Hello, let me introduce myself, I’m Wang Ying from Jinmen, a classmate and roommate of Jiang Mo, though she rarely stays in the dorm... I didn’t quite catch it earlier, is your surname Zhou or Zhu?"
An ordinary sports jacket by Yishun, no-logo jeans, and plain white shoes, her outfit couldn’t have cost more than five hundred yuan, yet the girl in front of him had a sunny smile and an easy grace that somehow felt very pleasant.
