Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Bai Susu Returns to School 1

“So that’s the situation, no problem, tell them not to wake him up, let him wake up on his own. You guys take care of the children for me, I’ll head to school after breakfast.” Bai Susu told Zhuge.

“Yes, madam, shall I take you there?” Zhuge Liang said.

After all, it was his duty to ensure the safety of the madam.

“It’s fine, one of the bodyguards can drive me there, I’ve only got two classes today, and I’ll be back in the afternoon,” Bai Susu said.

“That works too, madam. Remember to call me if there’s anything,” Zhuge Liang said.

“Don’t worry,” Bai Susu smiled.

She was starting to feel a bit of anticipation about returning to school.

After breakfast, Bai Susu was taken to school by a bodyguard-driven car.

Once at the school, she completed the necessary procedures and then went to attend class, books in hand.

Her major was in finance, and that morning there happened to be a lecture by a professor on financial topics, so she went.

It took less than an hour for the news of Bai Susu’s return to spread throughout the school, sending the male students into a frenzy.

The aloof goddess Bai Susu was back.

The goddess, who had been absent for eight or nine months, returned, and the male students were brimming with tears.

They had been heartbroken when they heard about the goddess taking a leave of absence.

Now that she was back, their dead hearts were revived.

This was indeed a great cause for celebration among the school’s male population.

Thinking about it, Bai Susu had left school while she was just over three months pregnant, and in the blink of an eye, eight or nine months had passed —time really flew by.

Bai Susu focused on the professor’s lecture while the surrounding male students began whispering to each other.

The looks they gave Bai Susu were filled with joy, while the female students were insanely jealous.

They couldn’t help it; they weren’t as pretty as Bai Susu, their grades weren’t as good, nor were they as popular, so of course, they were filled with envy and resentment.

They hadn’t expected Bai Susu to come back.

Previously, many female students thought Bai Susu would not return to continue her studies and would instead go home for an arranged business marriage. Now, it seemed, they were all proven wrong.

Look at her, Bai Susu was still as beautiful as ever, no, she seemed even more beautiful than before. She seemed a bit gentler than before, not as icy as she used to be.

Once the class was over, Bai Susu neatly organized her books and turned to leave.

Just as she walked out of the classroom, she was stopped by a male student blocking her path.

Of course, she knew this student.

It was Wu Hai, a fellow sophomore like herself.

However, Wu Hai’s major was in medicine, not the same as hers.

“Bai Susu, you’ve really come back. I didn’t believe it when I heard from others. I thought they were joking, but it’s really you,” Wu Hai said with a particularly bright smile on his handsome face.

Bai Susu furrowed her brows when she saw Wu Hai like this.

“Yes, I’ve come back,” Bai Susu said indifferently.

She glanced at Wu Hai, completely uninterested in making conversation.

However, it seemed as if Wu Hai hadn’t noticed Bai Susu’s disinterest at all.

“Bai Susu, let’s go eat together, my treat!” Wu Hai said excitedly.

“No need, we’re not close!” Bai Susu stated and walked past Wu Hai towards the library.

They were simply not close to begin with.

Standing there, Wu Hai stared at Bai Susu’s retreating figure, his eyes tinged with a hint of sadness.

He had forgotten they were never that familiar with each other to begin with.

It was just that one time he had picked up a pen Bai Susu had dropped and returned it to her.

He had been impulsive and made Bai Susu uncomfortable.

Why hadn’t he thought of that?

Indeed, he had been too excited.

The onlookers watched Wu Hai get snubbed, reveling in his misfortune.

As if a goddess like her was someone he could even dream of.

Look at them, all admiring the goddess, but the goddess is aloof and doesn’t show a shred of warmth to anyone.

Of course, there’s not really anyone at school who makes a goddess take notice.

However, it’s said that a junior, a senior student, seemed to have a slightly better relationship with Bai Susu, probably because they both had participated in the school’s anniversary competition.

Bai Susu arrived at the library and, considering the courses she had fallen behind on for over half a year, found some books on finance and sat down at an empty spot, immersing herself in reading.

She had been away from school for quite some time, and she had forgotten much of her knowledge in finance, not to mention fallen behind, so she needed to catch up on her studies.

Finance was her favorite subject; she absolutely could not lag behind others.

Her inner strength was immense, insisting that if she was committed to or enamored with something, she had to do it the best she could.

She read the book in her hand while taking notes in her notebook.

At that moment, another figure appeared in the library.

When this person showed up, everyone around turned to look, their eyes filled with surprise.

The girls present all revealed looks of admiration.

It was him.

It was Zhou Shuxing from the foreign languages department, known as the school’s great talent.

It really was him.

The girls around him started to worship him, as Zhou Shuxing was not only handsome but also extremely intelligent.

Now, with Ye Fan no longer at the school, Zhou Shuxing naturally became the most popular male student, and of course, he was also considered one of the most attractive guys at school.

Zhou Shuxing, carrying a few foreign language books, saw an empty seat ahead and walked over.

“Excuse me, is this seat taken?” he asked softly.

Bai Susu, hearing someone speak, didn’t look up and simply nodded slightly.

A flicker of something unusual passed through Zhou Shuxing’s eyes as he sat down across from Bai Susu and began to read his foreign language book.

Both of them were exceptionally quiet, without disturbing each other, focused on their reading.

Of course, Zhou Shuxing glanced over at Bai Susu opposite him from time to time.

He was puzzled. This person was Bai Susu.

But why wasn’t she paying any attention to him?

Logically speaking, she should have had some reaction upon seeing him.

Instead, there was nothing, which made him feel somewhat dejected.

Could it be that Bai Susu didn’t recognize his voice or realize it was Zhou Shuxing?

Maybe, the reality was wonderful.

It must be!

“Excuse me, could you lend me a pen?” Zhou Shuxing looked up and asked Bai Susu softly.

After all, this was the library, and voices needed to be kept low.

“Sure.” Bai Susu placed another pen in front of Zhou Shuxing without looking up from her book and taking notes.

“Thankyou,” Zhou Shuxing said, a bit downhearted.

Forget it, let’s focus on reading first.

Presumably, he had disturbed Bai Susu’s reading, which would be hard to explain later.

He shouldn’t be too eager in striking up a conversation, lest she notice something off and it might affect his impression in her mind.

No rush, just take it slow.

The two of them continued reading, while the people around watched them and eventually settled down to their own books quietly.

Having finished the material at hand, Bai Susu started to pack up and went to return the books.

Zhou Shuxing immediately closed his book and followed her.

“Bai Susu, it really is you. I thought for a moment that I was mistaken,” Zhou Shuxing greeted her with a smile.

“Hmm.” Bai Susu looked up, glanced at Zhou Shuxing and nodded, considering that a greeting, and continued putting books away.

“What a coincidence, it’s lunchtime now. Let’s go eat, I’ll treat you,” Zhou Shuxing said.

“No need, I have a meal card,” Bai Susu said indifferently, placing the last book on the shelf and turning to leave.

She went back to her seat, packed up her things, and headed outside.
