Chapter 176: Chapter 149: The Counselor’s Secret

In the bedroom, with no afternoon classes, Lin Lu was lying on the bed, holding her phone above her face, deeply engrossed in conversation with Jiang Wanzhou.

Little President Jiang had a magical quality about him; he was always able to chat with girls really well.

He genuinely treated girls like brothers, and the girls genuinely treated him as a sister.

“Sister Lu, Cheng Zhu has only ever been in one relationship, with a girl from his class, but I’ll refrain from mentioning her name. Let’s just refer to her by the initials ‘lxy.'”

Look at that, even using initials. This motherfucker was a professional gossip.

Lin Lu read his WeChat message and thought to herself, “So he’s had a romantic experience before?”

She took the initiative and asked a question, “Who pursued whom?”

“Damn, you’ve riled me up just mentioning it. It was lxy who pursued him!” Jiang Wanzhou typed furiously.

“What? Why are you so mad that she took the initiative to pursue Cheng Zhu?” Lin Lu smelled something unusual in the air.

Little President Jiang, you couldn’t possibly be…

Jiang Wanzhou quickly explained, “I think if you actively pursue someone and succeed, then you both should seriously commit to the relationship, right?”

“Yeah, definitely.”

“But that Li Xinyue was a piece of work, always making a scene, ready to cry and make a fuss at the drop of a hat. She was so controlling too, constantly checking his phone, even deleting his contacts. I nearly got cut too.”

“What? She even deleted you?” Lin Lu was bewildered.

Cheng Zhu and Jiang Wanzhou were childhood friends for heaven’s sake, buddies since elementary who had remained close to this very day.

Lin Lu had indeed heard of such girls during her school days, and even some guys who got into relationships would have nearly all their female contacts deleted from QQ and WeChat.

“Is this girl really insecure or what?” Lin Lu was curious about what kind of mindset she had.

“Her? Insecure? She always had a string of guys on the back burner. Anytime she and Cheng Zhu fought, she’d threaten to break up, and there would always be some guy ready to comfort her. She wasn’t one to turn them away, so you could say she was quite the hypocrite.”

“Ah?”

“She always had ‘breaking up’ on the tip of her tongue, and at the slightest inconvenience, she’d threaten to split. Plus, she loved giving him the cold shoulder. I never had much hope for them, especially since they were doing long-distance in college. I just knew lxy was going to mess things up.”

Jiang Wanzhou had a keen intuition, which was spot on if we judged by the past.

Over the summer, she had constantly warned Cheng Zhu not to change his heart in college, but then the bitch had the gall to switch up as soon as the semester started.

Girls like her pursue with such fervor, clearly getting too heated too fast in a relationship, but once they’re in it, the drama starts. These types heat up quick and cool off just as fast, and their hearts change easily.

They tend to be self-centered in relationships, only considering themselves and acting on their own emotions.

Brothers, take note! Don’t assume that just because she pursued you first, she’ll always cherish you.

Some actually do, but not all.

Some even lose interest in you the very moment they’ve nabbed you.

Jiang Wanzhou continued typing, “Luckily, Cheng Zhu came to his senses last summer, cutting ties with her cleanly and thoroughly.”

He was praising Cheng Zhu, feeling rather vindicated.

The key takeaway for Lin Lu was: Got it, there’s no lingering attachment to the ex, they’ve completely stopped contacting each other.

“Was he really heartbroken back then?” Lin Lu asked, caring.

Jiang Wanzhou was genuinely perplexed at the moment.

After all, right after Cheng Zhu broke up, he won some money from the World Cup and started busying himself with God knows what. He was extremely busy!

Wait, busy?

Could he have been… numbing himself?

He couldn’t help but think of what Cheng Zhu had just said to him on WeChat.

—Some people come into your life just to teach you a lesson.

Listen to that sentiment!

He suffered in love and learned from it.

“I think he definitely suffered from heartache,” Jiang Wanzhou analyzed, “He even said to me, ‘Some people come into your life just to teach you a lesson.'”

Women are a strange species. If you’re not yet together, in the flirting stage, and she learns you’ve been hurt before, she’ll feel sorry for you.

But once you’re together, if she learns of your past suffering, she might just tell you that you had it coming…

“Okay, I see. Thanks for telling me all this,” Detective Little Lu responded, giving him a five-star rating.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Wanzhou asked, “Sister Lu, why are you suddenly asking me about all this?”

“Because I want to understand him better.” Lin Lu was always so frank and direct.

“Sister Lu, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for him?” Jiang Wanzhou was shocked.

“Right.” Lin Lu boldly admitted it.

“But you better not tell him,” she added quickly.

“Because I will be the one to tell him!” The spirited girl declared.

…

…

Cheng Zhu was still blissfully unaware that Jiang Wanzhou was already dumbfounded over there.

Damn it, after starting college, you pulled a fast one, huh?

Out of nowhere, you attracted my cousin’s best friend?

“There must be some story between them, but I don’t know a damn thing!”

“Our relationship has cooled.”

If Little President Jiang went to lick a pH test strip now, I swear it’d change color.

The moments in room 212 were bustling, each person engrossed in their own tasks.

Cheng Zhu had no intention of involving himself in the game development process.

Right now, he was arranging work matters in the Persistent Visit work group chat.

Tonight, at 8 o’clock, was the day for Persistent Visit’s new release.

He had high expectations for the new items, hoping to spark a fresh trend.

The back door of room 212 was shut, with the front door half-open.

At that moment, a figure appeared at the doorway.

The visitor knocked lightly on the door, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.

“Wow, a beauty!” The guys’ eyes lit up.

It was inevitable—the woman that had arrived was Chen Jieyu, and she was quite different from the average Technology University student.

Chen Jieyu wore a black knee-length dress today, in a long-sleeved style, complemented with a gold YSL brooch pinned at the chest.

This was a cost-effective way of dressing—after all, genuine YSL dresses are expensive, but adding a brooch on a regular dress completely changed the price range.

With her standard pear-shaped figure and wider hips, she filled out the dress with a perfect curve, making her particularly alluring.

Yet, the gold-rimmed glasses on her face and her slightly stern demeanor gave her an air of ascetic appeal.

Cheng Zhu thought she might even suit the once popular ‘normcore’ fashion trend.

To be fair, Cheng Zhu hadn’t encountered many women with her style and aura, making her quite novel and attractive to him.

But to the guys in room 212, Chen Jieyu at the door was fatally alluring.

Her unique urban sophisticated charm was nothing like that of the majority of university girls.

The guidance counselor had her hair up, revealing her exquisite neck and shoulder line.

“Mr. Chen,” Cheng Zhu closed the Persistent Visit tab on his computer, greeted Chen Jieyu, and said to the others, “Let me introduce you: this is my guidance counselor, Chen Jieyu, who is also the project supervisor.”

In a flash, his simple introduction ignited their passion.

Holy shit, is our project supervisor really this beautiful?

I’ve come to the right place!

The two guys who came with Wei Bo, named Sun Liang and Meng Tang, were there because they felt Cheng Zhu had access to many resources and there might be opportunities for romance by associating with him.

But no one expected that even the guidance counselor would be a great beauty; that was beyond imagination!

Of course, since everyone was from the School of Information, a few people recognized the name Chen Jieyu and found it familiar.

After all, her reputation in the school wasn’t small—many said she was the prettiest guidance counselor in Technology University.

Chen Jieyu stepped inside, surveyed room 212, and said, “I just came to have a look around.”

As the project’s supervisor, she needed to pop in occasionally to make her presence felt.

Although she and Cheng Zhu had reached a subtle understanding—she wouldn’t come here to boss everyone around—she couldn’t completely skip visits.

Most importantly, this student of hers had talked big last time, full of confidence.

Hearing such talk, it was difficult for her not to be curious about the project.

Besides, due to various reasons, she was particularly sensitive about money.

After pondering, Cheng Zhu stood up and began introducing her to a few members of his studio, then took her to the corridor, chatting casually.

Looking at him, Chen Jieyu commented, “At this rate, you really don’t have time to be the class committee.”

“See, I didn’t lie to you,” Cheng Zhu said, spreading his hands out.

Beyond making money, there are so many sisters waiting for my care; I hardly have time for the nonsense of the class.

With this thought, he asked, “Mr. Chen, how’s Liu Feng handling his duties as class president?”

Chuaner was, after all, someone Cheng Zhu had recommended to Chen Jieyu, and let’s not forget, he was just an interim class president—they would vote again after the National Day holiday.

The counselor glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said, “Liu Feng is doing well, there’s not much trouble for me. You did recommend a good candidate.”

After a few more words, Chen Jieyu’s phone rang. It was her dad on the line.

“Well, I should go,” she said glancing at her phone to Cheng Zhu.

Cheng Zhu nodded slightly and waved goodbye.

He noticed Chen Jieyu’s complexion didn’t seem all that great.

He saw her walking away, head down, looking at her phone, and not picking up the call right away.

After a final glance, Cheng Zhu went back into room 212.

That guy, Sun Liang, immediately asked, “Boss, did the supervisor give any instructions?”

“Nope,” Cheng Zhu flatly replied, “This project only follows my instructions, not those of a teacher.”

“She’s just here to give your eyes a treat now and then, that’s all. Get back to work,” he clapped his hands.

Cheng Zhu himself took a sip of water and decided to go to the restroom for a smoke.

Smoking was prohibited inside the entire Eastern Building, including the corridors. The only place to smoke was in the restroom, where he set the example.

Upon reaching the restroom on his floor, Cheng Zhu planned to relieve himself in the men’s room first.

Passing by the women’s restroom, he overheard Chen Jieyu’s voice coming from inside, speaking in a dialect—it was Sichuanese.
