Chapter 22 - 1.22 Early Graduation
For the past few weeks, Ren Zexi had been a widely discussed topic in school. The content was mostly similar.
"Hey, don't you think that Young Master Lu looks a bit different lately. How do I say it ah? He just seems more—"
"—More mature, charming, melancholic and oozing with sexual charm?"
"Gasp! Just as I thought! So everything isn't my own imagination! You also feel it, right? He seems more melancholic than usual and in return, it makes him look even sexier!"
"It's really not your own imagination! You have no idea, everyone has been gossiping about the same thing!"
"Check our school's forum out! A poll has been created to guess the reason behind Young Master Ren's change. Seventy percent of the voters chose a heartbreak!"
"A heartbreak?! Who?! Who's the one who broke our Prince's heart? How dare they?!"
"Ehem ehem!" Huang Zhihe stood a few distance behind the gossiping girls and cleared his throat, an awkward grin on his face. "Girls, lower your voice a bit, will you? Do you think it's appropriate to gossip about the person right in front of his face?"
"Oh God, S—Sun Emperor!" The girls gasped, their faces turning crimson. Even more so when they saw the stunningly beautiful boy who was standing beside Huang Zhihe. "Our Melancholic Prince! W—We're very sorry, we didn't mean to spread gossip about you!" They bowed in embarrassment.
Nonetheless, one of them was unable to hold her curiosity back. "So, Young Master Ren... is it true that you have just had your heart broken?" Five pairs of eyes turned to Ren Zexi — no, the number was more than that because they were currently in the hallway. Almost every single person there secretly perked up their ears to eavesdrop.
Ren Zexi raked his fingers through his hair and answered offhandedly. "So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"
