Gu Man looked at the others in the class and clenched her fists at the corner of her mouth. She suppressed the laughter that was about to reach her mouth and stood up.

It was unknown if it was because the speech just now had played a key role, but as Gu Man stood up, the heads of the others in the class lowered even lower.

Gu Man was afraid that if she continued to stay in the class, they would get cervical spondylosis. She immediately quickened her pace and walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she turned around and looked at Jiang Zi. She reached out her hand to him and hooked her finger.

Jiang Zi immediately understood. He gave his last instructions in class and quickly walked out.

To be honest, he was a little nervous. What if Gu Man wanted to thank him? Should he accept it or not?

It was unknown what he thought of, but Jiang Zi actually chuckled foolishly. It was simply a waste of his especially fierce face.

When Gu Man saw this, she leaned against the railing and couldn’t help but laugh. “You saw that post, or rather, you saw that trending topic.”

Although it sounded like a question, her words were especially certain.

Jiang Zi nodded, as if he was afraid of touching Gu Man’s wound. He comforted her carefully, “Actually, don’t take it to heart. Those who really know you know what kind of person you are, they naturally won’t believe the rumors on the Internet.”

“Thank you very much for today, but there’s no need.” Gu Man stood there. The wind stirred her hair, but it could not affect her emotions at all. It was as if she was born cold. Her smile disappeared, making her look distant.

When Jiang Zi saw that smile, his heart skipped a beat, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He forced a smile and recalled what he had just done, his eyes filled with confusion.

Wasn’t it a little redundant?

Gu Man raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Jiang Zi, who was obviously depressed. Wasn’t she quite resistant to pressure previously? Why was she so depressed with just one sentence?

However, since he had the intention to help her, Gu Man naturally would not bite the hand that fed her. The corners of her lips twitched helplessly. “Because I don’t care about those rumors. Besides, you didn’t come to look for me for this, right?”

Only then did Jiang Zi remember his main purpose for coming this time. He was slightly stunned and licked his lips. “You’re Eel, right?”

He probed and observed Gu Man’s expression very seriously, unwilling to miss the slightest change in her expression.

Gu Man stared at Jiang Zi for a long time. This time, she did not deny it and nodded in silence.

Jiang Zi heaved an inexplicable sigh of relief, but at the same time, the expression on his face was complicated. He did not know how to face Gu Man.

Was it because she was still a teacher’s student or a competitor?

What surprised Jiang Zi even more was that his desire to defeat Eel had faded a lot, and there were even some indescribable emotions.

“So you still want to continue with me?” Gu Man stared at Jiang Zi.

It was clearly just a simple sentence, but it inexplicably made Jiang Zi’s heart skip a beat. His breathing quickened, as if Gu Man was saying, “Are you going to be with me?”

His face instantly turned red as if it was on fire. He turned around awkwardly. “Since I’ve promised you, I won’t go back on my word.”

“Welcome to the team. Should I call you Jiang Zi or Lang Ya now?” Gu Man tilted her head and stretched out her slender and fair fingers. Her especially lustrous skin glowed faintly under the reflection of the sunlight. She was very beautiful.

Staring at those hands, Jiang Zi was in a daze for a moment. He belatedly half-held them, and the smooth touch made his heart beat violently.

With just a touch, Jiang Zi suddenly retracted his hand as if he was avoiding a snake.

“I’m not afraid of you. It’s just that you’re so young. I’m worried that others will say that I’m bullying the young.” With that, Jiang Zi looked at Gu Man with a complicated expression. He really did not expect Gu Man to be so young..
