To protect Vice Principal Hu Youzhen's reputation, Gu Deming had an idea.
"Alright, since this is the situation, you two should return to your dorms. The school will arrange for the door to be repaired. Make sure someone stays in the dorm!"
Hearing Gu Deming say this, Mei Ziqi's tense heart immediately relaxed.
Liu Sandao showed no outward psychological change from beginning to end.
If the door was kicked down, it needed to be repaired; that was simply how things were.
Although Hu Tianhan's leg was not crippled, he wouldn't be getting out of bed for at least ten days to half a month.
After sending the two away, Gu Deming hurried to see Hu Youzhen.
He explained the situation and the online comments.
Hu Youzhen, living up to her title as vice principal, said calmly that Gu Deming should decide how to handle it, and she supported serious punishment for Hu Tianhan.
While her heart ached for her son, she couldn't completely disregard her own reputation, especially since the incident had caused such a stir.
Even if Liu Sandao had deliberately provoked him, he shouldn't have kicked down the dorm door and gotten his leg trapped.
The priority now was to deal with this matter seriously, otherwise, it would continue to implicate her, especially since someone had already revealed that Hu Tianhan was the son of a certain vice principal.
Gu Deming, having held his position for a long time, naturally possessed some capability.
With a little effort, he smoothed things over.
The final disciplinary outcome was: Hu Tianhan, a student from the School of Economics and Trade, received a demerit.
Although the disciplinary result was announced, it was not entered into his permanent record. The students, and even the teachers, were unaware of these details.
Who would bother dwelling on a single student?
Time flew by, and another week passed.
In the afternoon, with nothing else to do, there was a football match between departments. Mei Ziqi pulled Fu Ruhai and Liu Sandao along to watch.
Since the incident of kicking down the door, the reputation of Room 304 had reached a new peak.
Everyone noticed that Room 304, which had rarely been seen together before, had appeared in the same frame several times.
This was big news, comparable to celebrity gossip.
Leaving aside Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai, even Mei Ziqi and Fang Zonghai had become well-known on campus.
Many people greeted them when they saw them.
Among the four, Liu Sandao was undeniably the most handsome.
It was surprising that no one had noticed this in their previous three years.
Fang Zonghai and Mei Ziqi were considered average, their features not particularly striking.
Fu Ruhai's memorable feature wasn't his looks, but his distinctive earlobes: round and plump, indicating a person of good fortune.
Logically, a dorm room with such distinctive individuals shouldn't have gone unnoticed by the female students.
Yet, in their senior year, there had never been any rumors of female visitors in their dorm.
Room 304 seemed to be a forbidden zone for Qingkong University's female students.
Even the girls in their own class seemed to hold a degree of disdain.
The distance from the dorm to the sports field was only about ten minutes.
Yet, Mei Ziqi was approached five or six times.
Although the people who approached him were not particularly attractive, Mei Ziqi didn't have overly high standards.
As long as they could help him resolve his lifelong commitment after graduation, that would be enough.
Liu Sandao walked in the middle, with Mei Ziqi and Fu Ruhai on either side.
In comparison, his presence was even more pronounced.
Although their attire wasn't extravagant or branded, it exuded an air of heroic spirit.
Yet, he remained silent the entire way.
This was his first time so leisurely going to watch a football match, and his feelings were difficult to describe.
Perhaps, in the past, he had never truly integrated into the human world. Su Dan Novel Network
After walking peacefully for a while, he sensed something different: a pair of eyes were constantly watching him.
He lightly nudged Fu Ruhai's arm, conveying a message to him using a mystical riddle.
Fu Ruhai nodded slightly, indicating he understood.
To their left and behind, a girl with a digital camera was stealthily following them, occasionally taking pictures.
The distance was about ten meters.
The sports field was already filled with the roar of the crowd; this was the usual activity time.
Today there was a football match, and rumors had it that some activities were being held, organized by the School of Economics and Trade.
They had partnered with an external organization, using prizes for promotional purposes.
It had to be said that the efficient use of resources for profit was vividly displayed by the students of the School of Economics and Trade.
Before reaching the field, they saw the main stage decorated in a riot of colors.
Arches of various balloons and bright red ribbons proclaimed: "Lixia Digital Congratulates the Finals of the Third Football Tournament of the School of Economics and Trade on its Complete Success," "Mythical Mobile Congratulates..."
Numerous lighting equipment had also been set up around the area, indicating that their event would last late into the night.
A standard football match lasted 90 minutes, and with other time allocations, it would take at least two hours or more.
It was already five in the afternoon. The match was scheduled to start precisely at 5:30 PM, concluding just before dark.
After the award ceremony, there were reportedly several performance segments.
Tonight was destined to be an unforgettable one.
Most schools did not encourage commercial activities, but they would appropriately support students in organizing events.
Therefore, the student union played a crucial role.
As long as the student union took the lead, the school would not object to simple activities.
As they neared the sports field, the girl with the digital camera suddenly ran up to the three of them.
"Hi! Hello! Can we get acquainted?"
She spoke first.
Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai knew this was the girl who had been secretly taking their pictures.
Although the girls in this world were quite forward, meeting a girl who openly approached them like this was still a bit overwhelming.
Liu Sandao remained silent. In fact, he was still not used to talking to strangers.
Fu Ruhai, as usual, chuckled.
Mei Ziqi carefully examined the beautiful girl before him. She was truly stunning.
A white shirt, blue jeans, white sports shoes, and a radiant, enthusiastic smile.
It stirred something within him.
"Good, good, good!"
He even stuttered.
This girl was on another level compared to the previous ones, practically a different class.
"My name is Bai Suxiang! And you are?"
"Bai Suxiang? Bai Suzhen, are you sisters?"
Mei Ziqi blurted out.
"Giggle giggle!"
Bai Suxiang laughed heartily, then seemed to realize her impropriety and covered her mouth.
"My name is Mei Ziqi, nice to meet you!"
Mei Ziqi spoke first. Compared to the aloof Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai, he still understood basic etiquette.
Bai Suxiang politely extended her hand and briefly shook Mei Ziqi's.
Mei Ziqi was so happy he didn't know what to do with himself.
This was the first time he had held a woman's hand in college, and it was initiated by her.
Bai Suxiang, without thinking too much, reached out to shake Liu Sandao's hand.
However, Liu Sandao neither gave his name nor extended his hand.
He was uncomfortable, or perhaps he had never encountered such a situation.
Although he had seen similar scenes in television dramas, he had considered them trivial matters of "ants" and unlikely to happen to him.
Fu Ruhai, sensing the awkwardness, quickly extended his hand and shook Bai Suxiang's.
"Fu Ruhai! And this is Liu Sandao!"
