Chapter 39: Saving the Gentle Senior 15

When Lin Le saw the post, he had already returned to school.

He first felt that his roommate's gaze was very strange.

"What are you looking at?"

Roommate 1 pointed at his phone and said, "Um, go check the forum—Jin Chen has exposed everything about you."

Roommate 2 was tidying up, saw Lin An come in, and rolled his eyes.

He was the one who just replied on the 25th floor, had long been dissatisfied with Lin An, and exposed this—who knows if there are cameras installed in the dorm.

"I'm moving out to rent a place; the dorm isn't safe—who knows if the forum will later have my photos."

Lin Le was scrolling through his phone; when he heard that, his expression changed, and he happened to see the top post marked HOT.

The further he scrolled down, the more shocked he became.

Finally, upon seeing the video of himself being forced to accompany drinks, Lin Le completely broke down.

He slammed the phone hard onto the ground, his fingers trembling, his face flushed red, and his originally handsome face became utterly distorted.

"It's all fake! Where did he get the video? I didn't break the law—Jin Chen did! He had people investigate me!"

Roommate 2 snorted, "If you hadn't done it, why would you fear an investigation?"

Lin Le kicked the table, "Shut up! When Shen Qingci was in the dorm, you didn't dare say a word, and now you're pretending to be a good person?"

He dared not look at the insults against him in the post any longer; his mind raced, thinking of solutions.

Qi Ze, Qi Ze will surely have a way—these things were done by the two of you together, Qi Ze, don't think you can get out clean!

Lin Le stumbled, picked up the phone from the ground, and left the dorm.

But just as he ran out of the dorm's main gate, two police officers stopped him outside.

"You're Lin Le, right? Someone reported you for publicly insulting and fabricating facts to slander others; please cooperate with the investigation and come with us."

Many students passing by heard it clearly, and they all looked at Lin An in surprise, whispering.

"So he's the Lin Le mentioned in the post—the one who secretly filmed Shen Qingci."

"To be fair, he's indeed not as handsome as Shen Qingci."

Lin Le clenched his fists tightly; the shame and anger in his heart reached their peak.

He had no choice but to first go with the police.

Jin Chen and Shen Qingci stood under the big banyan tree of the dormitory building, watching as Lin Le was taken away by the police.

【Host, Lin Le probably won't stay long at the police station; the loyal-dog male second lead from the original plot is about to enter the school.】

In the original plot, the person Lin Le was "forced" to accompany drinks with is none other than the current chief of the Didu Dance Troupe, the nationally renowned dancer Mou Yuan.

He and Lin Le had a fleeting romance in high school; later he went to Didu to study dance, and they lost contact.

When they met at the bar, Lin Le poured out his heart to him, hinting that school life was bad and his roommates often stole his spotlight.

Later, Mou Yuan entered the school for Lin Le's sake and became his classical dance teacher.

He secretly and openly placed many obstacles for Shen Qingci, yet still failed to win Lin Le; afterward he left for abroad in despair, completely forgetting that he had ruined someone's life.

【If he dares to come, he must prepare to be infamous.】

Jin Chen will not let off anyone who tries to bully his wife.

Shen Qingci saw Jin Chen spacing out and waved his hand in front of him.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about the day after tomorrow's dance competition—how should I hold a especially grand confession ceremony?"

Jin Chen took Shen Qingci's hand and they strolled along Banyan Tree Road.

Today's sun wasn't big; shining through the banyan tree branches, it warmed them pleasantly, so they walked slowly.

"What have you prepared?"

Shen Qingci had been curious for a long time; these days, aside from attending class and spending time with him, Jin Chen had been preparing the confession ceremony, even his roommate acting mysteriously.

"If you spill the surprise, it's not a surprise anymore," Jin Chen said smugly, shaking the arm linked with Shen Qingci's, "Anyway, it will make the senior very satisfied!"

Shen Qingci sighed helplessly, looking ahead at the park lawn where many students were picnicking, reading, and even spreading out picnic blankets to play games.

Jin Chen noticed that when he looked at the kite flying in the wind, his eyes brightened considerably.

But Shen Qingci soon shifted his gaze.

Jin Chen immediately stopped his steps, looking quite delighted.

"Senior, let's fly a kite—I haven't played with one in ages!"

Shen Qingci's eyes brightened again, "Really?"

"Really, wait here—I'll go buy a kite at the shop across the way."

Jin Chen released Shen Qingci's hand, stroked his soft hair, "Senior, you're not allowed to ditch me and sneak off."

Watching Jin Chen's departing back, Shen Qingci pressed his lips and smiled, then simply sat on the ground, bent one leg, propped an arm behind him, lifted the back of his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, feeling warm all over.

His heart felt more relaxed and refreshed than ever before.

A female art student who had come to sketch saw Shen Qingci and excitedly grabbed her companion's arm, "Quick look! There's a handsome guy! I can!!"

Her companion narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and returned her grip, "No, you can't—that's Shen Qingci!"

"He and Jin Chen are a couple—you can't!"

Unexpectedly, the girl became even more excited, "Turns out he's Shen Qingci! So handsome! Is Jin Chen also nearby? They make a great pair!"

Her companion also nodded with a smile, "I heard from a Finance Department senior that Jin Chen is preparing to formally confess to Shen Qingci at the intercollegiate dance competition the day after tomorrow."

The two's conversation, Shen Qingci heard it loud and clear.

He helplessly shook his head; this matter being common knowledge, Jin Chen's little horse roommate truly deserves credit.

At that moment, Jin Chen returned after buying the kite, pulled Shen Qingci up from the ground, and suddenly heard a small exclamation.

He turned his head to look, and two girls were turning and jogging away; he scratched his head, puzzled.

"What's going on?"

Shen Qingci laughed, took the kite and shook it open.

"This is a... magpie?"

Jin Chen reached out to straighten his cuffs, saying, "Exactly, the magpie symbolizes auspiciousness and good fortune—what a lovely meaning."

"You grew up abroad, yet you still notice these things?"

"Because it's a gift for my senior to play with, I pay extra attention—the boss said this kite is the prettiest!"

Jin Chen took hold of the kite string and placed it in Shen Qingci's hand, saying, "Senior, you fly it; I'll go get the kite."

Shen Qingci raised an eyebrow, thinking it was meant for him, so it wasn't that he wanted to play, but that he had noticed his own expression?

This person really, how can they be so thoughtful down to the finest detail.

With both of them working together, the magpie kite quickly soared into mid‑air, riding the breeze across the blue sky.

Shen Qingci lifted his gaze, his smile radiant.
