The moment he stepped out of the room, he heard such an explosive accusation. Gou Yu was not at all surprised that their idle chatter had somehow veered into such a bizarre direction.
He just found Tang Bing's vividly imagined and bizarre deduction both amusing and exasperating.
At that moment, Fang Ran looked utterly shocked at being slandered, Tang Bing was flushed with anger at the apparent mockery, and Meng Lang was fanning the flames from the side.
"Hey! Gourd! How can you slander my innocence out of thin air! I've always stood firm by my beliefs, so how did I become someone who messes around!?"
"I'm not listening! I'm not listening! There's no way I got that look wrong! Senior, you must have experienced something!"
"Exactly! Exactly! Come clean, little bro! Did you go somewhere shady outside and experience something!?"
Watching the three of them noisily argue in a jumble, Gou Yu helplessly wondered whether he should speak up and stop them.
But just as he was about to open his mouth—
The sound of the door opening came from the entrance.
Two tall, beautiful figures returned just then. After asking their professor about their theses and having lunch together, Xia Yao and Ming Ling happened to come back.
Seeing them, Gou Yu gave up on trying to mediate and smiled at the two of them first.
"Xia Jie, Sister Ming Ling, you're back."
"We finally made it back. Ugh, graduating from Jing University is such a hassle. Something so minor ended up taking so long."
Having spent the entire morning running around over Jing University's countless meticulous graduation requirements, Ming Ling could not help rolling her eyes as she complained.
Hearing Gou Yu greet them, Xia Yao gave a gentle smile with her pretty face.
"Mm, we're back.
