In the following days, Jiang Nu did not show any signs of being different and didn't come looking for him. The thought of how he had eagerly inserted himself into Jiang Nu's life for over a month, only to be dismissed as if he had never existed, made him feel very aggrieved.
Fortunately, that Teacher Song gave him another assignment, which kept him busy and left him no time to deal with the inappropriate entanglement of emotions.
Another noteworthy thing is that ever since that day, Chu Wentian has stuck to him like a piece of sticky candy.
"Bro, want to have pancakes?" As soon as they stepped out of the dormitory building in the morning, the shadow cast by this towering figure enveloped the boy, making him appear like a giant dog.
"Why are you still lingering around like a ghost?" Gu Chencha was startled.
"Brother, didn't you say I could tell you anything?" Chu Wentian pouted and pulled back the breakfast that Gu Chencha had bought for him, feeling wronged.
Gu Chencha suddenly remembered the scar on Chu Wentian's body from that day, feeling a bit sorry. She snatched the pancake from his hand and opened the plastic bag, taking a bite. "Alright, alright. Stop playing the victim. You can call me 'brother' if you want to, but have you even looked at your own size?"
"I just developed faster," Chu Wentian quickly followed up, "I was born in the previous year, not the current one."
After a quick calculation, Gu Chencha realized that he was actually one year older than himself. He glanced at him suspiciously.
Chu Wentian thought he didn't believe him, and added, "Really, my ID card is in my pocket. I just developed quickly, everything grew together." After saying this, he blushed.
Gu Chenchai was stunned in disbelief, and she kicked him right in the knee socket. "Are you trying to pin this on me? Do you want to tell me all about your embarrassing past involving pee-soaked pants? Get lost! I won't eat this pancake anymore, and now you're trying to extort me? Go wherever you please!"
Chu Wentian quickly closed his mouth and hurriedly caught up with him.
It's great to have a brother by your side, even though he may not be able to protect you at all times, sometimes you still need him to provide protection.
Teacher Song arranged for Gu Chencha to coordinate with a dance troupe and prepare for an evening gala. This dance troupe has been affiliated with their school's student union for many years, barely scraping by. But recently, someone who doesn't understand the business suddenly started investing, and the dance troupe's board of directors underwent a renewal. So they have been busy with this matter recently.
When Gu Chencha went to the theater to look for the senior in charge, she encountered a dramatic scene.
After he arrived, he forgot to greet the senior student named Shen. He stood there dumbfoundedly, watching the workers clean up the venue for about twenty minutes. Finally, he saw a man wearing knee pads and dancing shoes from his feet up to his knees walk onto the stage. He picked up his phone and looked around, and soon his pocket started ringing. Gu Chencha slapped his thigh and walked over.
That senior brother who practices ballet looks like he has trained for many years. Even when standing, he maintains a straight posture with his neck raised high. He gives off a cold and noble air, but he isn't arrogant. When Gu Chencha walked up to him, he extended his hand in a friendly manner and introduced himself: "Junior brother, I am Shen Mian."
Gu Chencha's outstretched hand came to an abrupt stop right there.
I haven't heard this name many times before, but not long ago, it annoyed me to no end. I didn't expect to encounter someone with the same name and surname so quickly, yet they exude an aura that makes one feel refreshed.
Shen Mian moved his hand again, and Gu Chencha was pleasantly surprised as she gripped it tightly.
"Hello, senior."
Shen Mian smiled at him and said, "Why call me senior? I graduated more than two years ago."
"Is he also from the drama profession?" He subconsciously assumed that since Teacher Song recommended him, this classmate was likely a former disciple, and he was a bit curious if Old Song had started introducing part-time jobs and whether this senior had ever arranged any schemes.
However, Shen Mian didn't understand what he meant. After a while, she finally realized and lightly brushed her hair, laughing lightly, "Oh, I'm not in the arts. I study accounting. I'm in the finance department next door."
Gu Chencha felt a wave of jealousy in her heart. He looked so handsome and had even managed to get into a top-tier school with impressive grades. For a moment, she even forgot that she had once been a remarkable candidate for prestigious universities, and she couldn't help but sourly envy him in secret.
After Shen Mian exchanged pleasantries with him and gave some instructions, he told him that there would be several performances at the theater, but their own Zero Dance Troupe's evening party would have to wait for another month. Then, not very enthusiastically, he left. Gu Chencha saw a thin girl at the backstage who had some similarities in temperament with him, and they walked away holding hands.
