Someone teased, "Their target is Professor Wu."
Chang Fei's sister took the opportunity to ask Rao Jie, "By the way, Rao Jie, aren't you quite familiar with Professor Wu? Didn't he tutor you before? Does he have a girlfriend?"
Rao Jie didn't expect someone to suddenly ask her this question. At that moment, she finally remembered that Chang Fei was the girl the senior had mentioned during their last public class—the one who was interested in Wu Rong.
Rao Jie felt a sudden awkwardness in her heart, and she didn't know how to respond to the question.
Everyone was eager for gossip, but seeing Rao Jie’s troubled expression, Senior Sister immediately came to her aid, saying, "Why are you putting Rao Jie on the spot? If you want to ask, go ask Professor Wu himself. With his personality, if he finds out Rao Jie is gossiping about him behind his back, things won't go well for her in the future!"
The crowd felt it was inappropriate to press further and stopped asking.
However, Chang Fei suddenly said, "I heard our class leader is pursuing you? Are you two dating?"
Rao Jie: … Why can't she answer any of these questions?
Among their classmates, there were girls who secretly had crushes on Long Yong or had once liked him.
"I used to think Chang Fei would end up with the class leader since they seem like a perfect match—both are good-looking and highly educated. It's strange that they haven't gotten together after all this time. How did you manage to win over our class leader?"
In this person's mind, Rao Jie was not as good as Chang Fei, yet the class leader pursued Rao Jie instead of Chang Fei.
This comment not only embarrassed Rao Jie but also made Chang Fei feel a sense of displeasure at being compared unfavorably.
Even Long Yong had never pursued her, let alone Wu Rong. Did she really have something that made her inferior to Rao Jie?
Seeing Rao Jie's discomfort in handling such situations and how often outsiders pressed her with questions, Senior Sister worried that if this continued, Rao Jie might become fed up and ruin her chances with Long Yong altogether.
Senior Sister shook Rao Jie gently and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense. Chang Fei and Long Yong aren't interested in each other at all; there's no such idea between them, right, Chang Fei?"
With a chance to step down from the conversation, Chang Fei smiled and replied, "Of course! I wouldn't compete with Rao Jie; I have no feelings for the class leader. If I did have feelings, would I still be waiting until now?"
"Oh my! Just now when we mentioned Professor Wu, everyone assumed it was him! After all, Professor Wu has already achieved so much; the age difference only makes him more charming and mature!"
The uninformed onlookers nodded in agreement with this statement, and laughter erupted among those around them.
Rao Jie felt so embarrassed that she wanted to retreat to her room; she didn't want to participate in or discuss any of these topics.
However, they had already arrived near the hot spring pool and couldn't just leave now.
The entrance was right in front of them, and the girls became excited. In any gathering of women, there was an unspoken tendency to compare themselves with one another.
At that moment, they were naturally comparing themselves based on the amazed gazes of the male classmates outside.
The swimsuits were carefully chosen; even if there weren't any boys outside that they liked, receiving attention from others could still satisfy their vanity to some extent.
The aura of the girls walking was distinctly different, each one seeming to be pulled upward by an invisible string at the top of their heads, their heights suddenly elevated. A striking scene was about to burst forth.
