"Oh..." Zhong Yongliang was in the middle of washing his hair and did not pay it any mind. He gave a casual reply, and then he heard the bathroom door click shut.
"Did you get it?" Gu Mengyao asked, looking at Shen Yushu, who had slipped out of the bathroom with a grin all over her face.
"Yes!" Shen Yushu held up the undergarment in her hand and said smugly.
"You're not even bothered by how filthy it is—Zhong Yongliang wore that." Gu Mengyao curled her lip.
"Ugh... for Arrow Brand Bro's sake, I'll endure it." Shen Yushu stuffed Zhong Yongliang's mid-grade golden cicada undergarment into a bag...
About ten minutes later, Zhong Yongliang finished his shower too and came out of the bathroom, freshly dressed. As for his jacket, it had been stained with some of the dirty water as well, so he had not put it back on. "Xiaoshu, Yaoyao, I'm done washing—much fresher now. That water was really filthy... By the way, where did all that dirty water come from?"
"Someone else's mopping water," Shen Yushu said.
"Oh. Yaoyao, how are you doing? Feeling any better? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Zhong Yongliang had not noticed in the slightest that his mid-grade golden cicada undergarment had been swapped out.
"No need. I'll be fine after a little rest. I'm a bit sleepy..." Gu Mengyao said with a yawn.
"Sleepy, huh..." Zhong Yongliang was taken aback, and hesitation crept into his heart. If Gu Mengyao went to sleep, how could he bring himself to keep staying here? And even if he did stay, was he supposed to sit around chatting with Shen Yushu?
He certainly did not want to talk to Shen Yushu. Judging by his years of experience, spending too long alone with Shen Yushu usually meant nothing good would come of it!
"Mm, I'll sleep for a bit..." Gu Mengyao said, and closed her eyes.
"Little Liangzi, you've already come to see Sister Yaoyao, so you can scram now, right?" Shen Yushu turned to look at Zhong Yongliang and asked.
"This... all right then. Yaoyao, get a good rest. I'll come see you another day!" Zhong Yongliang said helplessly. He did not want to leave, but leave he must.
"That's enough, Little Liangzi. Sister Yaoyao is already asleep—are you still talking to her?" Shen Yushu shot Zhong Yongliang a glare.
"Then... I'll be going..." Though Zhong Yongliang felt some regret in his heart, at least his relationship with Gu Mengyao seemed to have eased considerably, and that made him secretly delighted.
He did not know why, but even now he still could not let go of Gu Mengyao. By rights, with his current strength, finding a pretty girl should have been an easy matter. Perhaps it was that stubborn attachment in his heart that made it so hard to forget his deeply engraved love for Gu Mengyao.
After Zhong Yongliang left, Gu Mengyao got out of bed. She had not caught a cold at all. Instead, she frowned and said, "Have someone come disinfect the bathroom in a bit. The last thing I need is to catch some disease..."
Gu Mengyao's disgust for Zhong Yongliang had already reached a certain level, and she was a person with a cleanliness obsession—naturally it was impossible for her to share a bathroom with Zhong Yongliang! To her mind, it was a thoroughly disgusting thing.
"It's all for Arrow Brand Bro..." Shen Yushu picked up the phone and dialed the student service company.
This was a work-study service company established by the student council, offering students on campus cleaning, errand-running, tutoring referrals, and other such services! University was different from the aristocratic high school of before. Though there was no shortage of students from wealthy families here, there were also students whose families were not well off, and the student council gave them a chance to work and study—a genuinely good thing.
Professional dormitory cleaning was one of its services, provided specifically for the sons and daughters of wealthy families.
