Love rises with the wind

Chapter 7

Holding the bag with his racing jacket as if it were a hot potato, Lin Yiwei carefully walked out of the art building.

She happened to see Xie Bo in front of the black Rolls-Royce Phantom, receiving a large bouquet of snow mountain roses from the driver and greeting Chi Xiyu.

Chi Xiyu approached him with a reserved, ladylike smile, “Hi, Xie Bo, I just saw you.”

They had known each other since childhood and had studied together in England during high school, so their relationship was quite familiar.

Especially with the intention of marriage between the Xie and Chi families, Chi Xiyu had already considered Xie Bo as her future husband.

Even though they were not officially a couple yet, Chi Xiyu had already made up her mind.

From the first time she saw him, she knew he was the one.

Logically, their relationship should have had a clear label of boyfriend and girlfriend by now, but…

Xie Bo had never clarified their relationship.

As a girl, Chi Xiyu maintained a high profile and was unwilling to take the initiative.

Thus, they remained in a perfectly balanced state of ambiguity.

Chi Xiyu was uncertain about Xie Bo’s thoughts and had heard gossip from her friends about Xie Bo having different beautiful girls in his car, changing every few days.

He was very popular among girls, with countless admirers.

But fortunately… Xie Bo never did anything out of line.

Compared to her brother Chi Xicheng’s endless scandals, Xie Bo was considered a model gentleman among the wealthy.

Chi Xiyu had investigated all the girls who had been in his car. Through coercion and temptation, she got a uniform answer from them:

“He has never slept with them.”

So Chi Xiyu turned a blind eye to the other girls around him, maintaining her high status and not worrying about his surrounding distractions.

Of course, Xie Bo also gave her a lot of respect, preserving her dignity.

Especially on important occasions like today, he always made sure to maximize the ceremonial aspect, coming to her sharing event in person, holding flowers, standing in front of the Rolls-Royce Phantom waiting for her, and then taking her out for a romantic French dinner.

Xie Bo praised her dress.

Chi Xiyu was slightly embarrassed as it was a cheap, college-style dress from that girl who looked a bit shabby just now.

“I want to go back and change my clothes, Xie Bo. Please drop me off at the dorm.”

“Sure.”

Chi Xiyu wore a happy smile as she watched Xie Bo personally open the car door for her, elegantly and gracefully getting in.

The large bouquet of snow mountain roses, Chi Xiyu chose to ignore the love notes written by other girls hidden among the roses.

She truly believed they would grow old together.

Lin Yiwei, expressionless, turned away from the envious golden couple and walked in the opposite direction.

In the evening, Lin Yiwei returned to the dormitory.

Taking advantage of the empty dorm, she quickly took out Xie Bo’s jacket and stuffed it haphazardly into the wardrobe.

She even thought about throwing it away, but considering his background, such a seemingly insignificant jacket might cost more than she could afford.

Lin Yiwei needed a way to return this “hot potato” without direct contact.

While she was pondering, the click-clack of high heels approached, and Shen Zitong walked into the dormitory.

Lin Yiwei quickly closed the wardrobe door.

She didn’t control the force well, and the door made a noise, attracting Shen Zitong’s attention.

“What are you doing sneakily?” Shen Zitong asked, frowning.

“Nothing.”

Lin Yiwei, who had learned to read people’s expressions from a young age, had noticed from the first day in the dorm that Shen Zitong had a leadership personality.

She had immediately volunteered to be the dorm leader and quickly made the girl on the opposite bed, whose family background was slightly inferior to hers, her follower.

The other girl was an academic achiever and didn’t engage in such cliques, so Shen Zitong turned her attention to Lin Yiwei.

Given Lin Yiwei’s personality, with someone like Shen Zitong around, she would usually show weakness, be submissive, and say flattering words to keep things peaceful for the four years of university.

However, Lin Yiwei had done her homework and knew that Shen Zitong was not on good terms with Chi Xiyu.

The incident with the spilled paint was Shen Zitong’s doing.

If she wanted to get close to Chi Xiyu, she couldn’t join Shen Zitong’s clique.

Therefore, Lin Yiwei was cold towards her, which greatly annoyed Shen Zitong.

Lin Yiwei was too beautiful, and her beauty was highly aggressive. Not willing to be her “sister” made Shen Zitong feel instinctively uneasy.

She would often look for trouble with Lin Yiwei.

Such as now, when Shen Zitong walked to her desk, giving her a contemptuous look, “I noticed my newly bought face mask is missing this morning. Did you take it?”

“No.”

Lin Yiwei responded calmly to the insult, “I wouldn’t do something like that.”

“Dare you open the wardrobe and let me check?”

“You can’t just open other people’s wardrobes. It’s an invasion of privacy.”

This remark made Shen Zitong even more suspicious that Lin Yiwei had stolen something, and she shouted, “You’re feeling guilty, aren’t you? My face mask must have been stolen by you. The moment I entered the room, you quickly closed the wardrobe. Who else could it be!”

“I’m not a thief.”

With the crowd of onlookers gathered at the door, like butterflies attracted to nectar, Shen Zitong became even more aggressive: “Since you say you didn’t steal it, then open the wardrobe and let me see.”

The racing jacket was lying in the wardrobe. If a crowd of girls saw it… rumors would spread across Feige University at lightning speed.

Her meticulously planned scheme would end in vain.

Lin Yiwei decisively blocked the wardrobe with her body.

“If you want to see…”

She picked up a fruit knife from the desk and drove it into the wardrobe door, tilting her chin slightly, her gaze firmly locked on Shen Zitong—

“Try it.”
