Love So Sweet

435 The Rumor was True...

After the call ended, Zhang Yi Hai slumped his body on the sofa and let out a heavy sigh.

A few minutes ago, he was still a happy man, wanting to head out to meet his girlfriend. He was all dressed up for the occasion. But something came out and he would not be able to meet his girlfriend today. It felt as if there was no word to describe his disappointment.

Moreover, there was only a day for them to spend their time together. When Fang Su Jin went back to Y City, he would not be able to see her for weeks. Probably month. After all, he did not know whether he would be able to return to Y City within a short time.

Recently, he had taken a long break after his sister was injured in that accident.

However, this was not something he could blame Fang Su Jin. After all, her parents did come to Capital City without telling her in advance. They wanted to surprise their daughter with their arrival, but in the end, the most shocked person was him.

Zhang Yi Hai lowered his gaze and sat in the living room for a long time. Without realizing it, Zhang Yi Hai fell asleep on the sofa.

About an hour later, his phone rang, waking him up from his sleep.

Zhang Yi Hai woke up with a startle. He reached for his phone and glanced at the caller ID. After staring at his friend’s name for a while, he finally picked up the phone.

“Zhang Yi Hai, everyone is gathering for lunch today. Are you going to join us as well?” His classmate, Tang Yin spoke as soon as the call was connected.

.....

The frown on Zhang Yi Hai’s face deepened. “Who is everyone?”

“Of course, I’m talking about our classmates,” Tang Yin spoke. “Who else do you think I’m talking about?” There was a brief silence before Tang Yin spoke again in a hesitant voice, “Yi Hai, could it be that you have another plan?”

Zhang Yi Hai indeed had another plan. However, that plan was now canceled because his girlfriend was not free.

“It’s the weekend, you should have a date with your girlfriend, right?”

“What are you talking about?” Other than Song Xiao Jun, no one knew that he had a girlfriend.

Tang Yin let out a cough. “That... you don’t know about this since you have been leaving class earlier these days, but Yi Hai, there’s a rumor around the campus.”

“What sort of rumor?”

“Someone saw you carrying an alpaca plush toy a few days ago,” Tang Yin said. “Because of that, there was a rumor that you are now in a relationship and that the plush toys were something that your girlfriend gave you.”

Zhang Yi Hai was stunned. He would never expect that some rumors would start just because he was seen holding a plush toy. Were those people too free? Why did they have time to gossip about him?

Of course, because of the good genes from his parents, Zhang Yi Hai will always be the center of attention. No matter what he does, others will talk about it. On the school forum, there was also a topic to discuss the dishes he picked for lunch.

“Tang Yin, what do you think?”

“Well, it is indeed a little strange for you to be seen carrying around a plush toy,” Tang Yin spoke. “Of course, it was easy to create a misunderstanding. Yi Hai, tell me what is that alpaca about. You really have a girlfriend?”

Zhang Yi Hai was someone who would always be focusing on his study. As a friend who has been staying by Zhang Yi Hai’s side for years, Tang Yin understood this.

The only reason Zhang Yi Hai would be talking to a female classmate was because of the group assignment or discussion. Of course, Tang Yin would find it strange to hear this rumor. He did not believe that Zhang Yi Hai had a girlfriend.

There was a long silence before Zhang Yi Hai spoke again. “Yes.”

Tang Yin was stunned. “Yes, what?”

“Yes, I do have a girlfriend.” Without realizing it, Zhang Yi Hai’s voice sounded gentler as he thought about Fang Su Jin.

“Ah?” Tang Yin could not hide his surprise. “Really? When did this happen? Zhang Yi Hai, you have been secretly dating after you moved out from college, right? Who is it? Is it someone we know? Our classmate? No. It couldn’t be, right?”

Zhang Yi Hai smiled as he continue to listen to his friend’s rambling. “It’s not someone you are familiar with. My girlfriend isn’t a student from our university.”

Tang Yin was still surprised.

It turned out that the rumor was true...

The two of them continued to chat for a while.

Tang Yin wanted to inquire more about Zhang Yi Hai’s secret girlfriend. However, no matter how many times he asked, Zhang Yi Hai would not tell him anything.

After the call ended, Zhang Yi Hai heaved a long sigh.

He expected that later, the rumor about him having a girlfriend would explode at the university. However, this was also a good thing. At least, those girls who always disturb him would no longer stay around.

Zhang Yi Hai tapped his fingers on the phone and realized that there were a few messages. One of them was from his girlfriend.

Just now, he was asleep and had not realized that Fang Su Jin has been texting him.

He clicked her name and saw the photos that she took. It seemed that

Then, under the photo, Fang Su Jin had written down her plan with her parents. After going around the exhibition center, Fang Su Jin’s parents were planning to take her out for lunch.

Zhang Yi Hai glanced at the clock.

It seemed that even if he tried to stage a coincidental meeting between them, he would not be able to make it.

Zhang Yi Hai continued to read her message. After a while, his lips turned up into a smile.

Perhaps he could still stage an accidental meeting later.

He wanted to see his girlfriend. Although the situation right now was not suitable, it was not that impossible for him to see her.

Zhang Yi Hai remembered that Fang Su Jin’s father liked him. Then, even if he showed up, Fang Su Jin would not chase him away, right?

As the thought came to his mind, Zhang Yi Hai decided to send a text to Tang Yin.
