Spring Branches

The undergraduate and graduate students of A University started on the same day. It was originally agreed that Lu Yichuan would send Tang Asi to the school, but when he was leaving, Lu Yichuan received a phone call and left in a hurry. He handed Tang Asi to Ana.

Because Tang Asi was a day student this semester, when he came to report today, he only brought his homework and his family. After dropping Tang Asi off, Ana left.

Looking at the car disappearing from his sight, Tang Asi felt mixed emotions.

My eyelids have been twitching since this morning, and it feels like something big is going to happen.

When Tang Asi was in a daze, someone patted his shoulder from behind, and then a brisk voice came out: "What are you thinking about?"

It’s my good friend Chen Xiao.

Tang Asi looked at her and smiled.

Chen Xiao looked Tang Asi up and down, with a look of heartache on his face: "My dear, you have lost a lot of weight. Your face is almost sunken."

Tang Asi pulled Chen Xiao's hand that was wandering on his face into his palm and said vaguely: "Oh, it's okay, it will be fine after a while."

Chen Xiao's expression became depressed: "...I have heard about what happened to you, and I feel sorry for you, but it's okay, fortunately Lu Yichuan can protect you. My brother also said that Lu Yichuan is a good person."

Chen Xiao's brother is a good friend of Lu Yichuan. They met when they were studying abroad. Compared with Lu Yichuan's family, their family is relatively ordinary. All of them work in the system, and only Chen Xiao is still in school.

Chen Xiao and Tang Asi met when they entered University A. They were of similar age and both were excellent. At the age of 19, they were already in their second year of graduate school and were both pursuing double degrees: finance and psychology.

When it comes to Lu Yichuan, Tang Asi unconsciously feels a little guilty. She really wants to tell Chen Xiao about their deal, but Lu Yichuan doesn't allow her to tell anyone about their relationship. No matter who she trusts, she can't tell.

Tang Asi pinched Chen Xiao's chubby cheeks and said, "I know. Let's go quickly. Professor Zhang is probably here by now."

As the two walked towards the laboratory, they received many strange looks. Some people even started to talk about it in a low voice. The words were unbearable to hear.

[That’s her. She became a widow at the age of 19.]

[I've heard that too. This little girl looked quite obedient, but when she slapped her sister, she didn't even blink, and looked ferocious like a hungry wolf that wanted to eat people.]

[Don’t underestimate this little girl because she is very resourceful! She killed her brother and hooked up with her younger brother.]

[I just can't understand, her behavior is so bad, why doesn't the school expel her?]

[Anyway, this young widow is not easy to mess with, she has a very strong backing.]

[...]

"Who are you talking about as a young widow?" Chen Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and was about to go up and discuss with the girls, but Tang Asi grabbed his wrist.

"It's okay, Xiaoxiao, I don't care, no matter what they say."

"Whoever says she is a widow knows it well! After seducing the eldest brother, she now seduces the younger brother-in-law! How slutty!" A dissatisfied girl in the group of girls shouted.

"Your stepmother seduced your stepfather! You dirty-mouthed bastard!"

Chen Xiao shook off Tang Asi and walked towards the group of girls aggressively.

Chen Xiao was big, and with a height of 178cm, his presence alone was enough to scare them away! Not to mention he didn't even have to walk up to them.

The girls ran away quickly.

He was talking dirty while running.

Tang Asi trotted over and grabbed Chen Xiao's hands, saying with emotion: "Thank you, Xiaoxiao."

Chen Xiao said: "You can't spoil them like this! If someone scolds you, you should scold them back! If you don't say anything, they will just think you are easy to bully."

Tang Asi nodded: "Yeah, I remember it."

This section ended and the two continued to move forward.

When little girls are together, they only talk about gossip.

Just like now.

Chen Xiao has a boy she likes very much. Last semester, she said that she planned to confess her love to the boy during the holidays. Tang Asi had always remembered it and asked about it.

Speaking of this kind of thing, Chen Xiao was shy and embarrassed to talk about it, and his face immediately turned red.

Tang Asi pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't be shy, this is all normal."

"I know."

A lot of things happened during this holiday, but since Tang Asi had a lot of worries recently, Chen Xiao didn't share them with her. Now he doesn't know where to start.

Tang Asi saw what Chen Xiao was thinking and said, "Just tell me, are you two together? How far have things progressed? Holding hands? Hugging? Kissing? Or..."

"Oh, no." Chen Xiao said, "Let's go report first, and I'll tell you when we're done, okay?"

Tang Asi nodded: "That's fine."

The two chatted and laughed all the way to the laboratory building.

Chen Xiao suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom, so he asked Tang Asi to hold his schoolbag and wait for him there.

Tang Asi walked to the garden. It was bare in winter, with only a pile of dry branches. If I remembered correctly, there should be roses planted in it.

Tang Asi was waiting boredly when suddenly a group of girls came towards her. Each of them was wearing a baseball cap and a mask.

The ominous premonition hit me again, and my heart was beating violently.

"Are you Tang Asi?" a girl asked.

Tang Asi nodded blankly: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter?" The girls laughed as if they had heard a funny joke.

"Don't you know what you did?"

"..." Tang Asi was confused: "Who sent you?"

"Do we think we are fools? Do you think I would tell you?"

The girls were getting closer and closer to Tang Asi with a menacing look on her face, and she subconsciously grabbed her two school bags tightly.

I prayed silently in my heart that Chen Xiao would come out soon.

"Lu Yichuan is my fiancé now. You all know how powerful he is. If you mess with me, he won't let you go!"

The girl sneered: "So what if he is amazing? No matter how powerful or arrogant he is, there are still people who can suppress him."

"Sister, stop talking nonsense to her, finish it early and call it a day."

"Okay. Go ahead."

After saying that, Tang Asi threw his two schoolbags at the girl opposite him and then ran away.

The girls were not willing to be outdone and chased after him from both directions.

After catching Tang Asi, the two girls lifted her up.

"Bitch! Don't hook up with someone you shouldn't!"

"...Who sent you?" Tang Asi said word by word with great effort: "I will not let you go!"
