What the — ! Look who it is!


What’s happening? Are they together?


It must be true love! I believe in love now!


They’ve been on campus before, but they’ve never held hands!


Must be! If they’d held hands before, everyone would have known.


Is this an official announcement?


Wow, I thought the Iron Hero and Su Qingcen were together. But he’s now dating the artist? He’s a winner in everything!


Maybe this is his response to all the rumors.


I think so, too. Su Qingcen is a star, she has to tell the public. The Iron Hero is not a celebrity, he just needs to tell Wu Tong.


See, I told you. Wu Tong is just as good as Su Qingcen in looks, figure, and talent!


After that last rumor, people were saying that the Iron Hero is a frog who wanted to eat swan meat. Hah! They didn’t know he really wanted to eat Wu Tong’s meat!


…

The impact of Meng Fan and Wu Tong walking together on campus was quite powerful. In less than ten minutes, at least 90% of the people in the school, from teachers to students, all found out.
The two of them were well-known in the art academy and popular, too. They weren’t considered a good match at first, until everyone thought they were the perfect match. Regardless of fame, popularity, or curiosity, everyone wanted to see if they would end up together.
As people were speculating about them, they were suddenly seen holding hands, so the news was explosive.
Not to mention, as rumor had it, Meng Fan and Su Qingcen were supposed to be together!
Photos of Meng Fan and Wu Tong holding hands on campus were all over social media. Everyone, intentionally or unintentionally, saw it.
Wang Yanan, who had just come back from Da Mei Studio, also saw the photos. When she looked up, she noticed the unnatural expression on Jiao Yanran’s face. She could only sigh.
So she missed the opportunity.
Wang Yanan totally supported Jiao Yanran in pursuing Meng Fan, but ever since Jiao Yanran found out Meng Fan liked Wu Tong, nothing happened.
Wang Yanan always thought Jiao Yanran and Meng Fan would be a good match, especially in height. But Wang Yanan had to admit that Jiao Yanran didn’t have as much courage as Meng Fan.
Meng Fan may have been less perfect than Wu Tong back then, but he still dared to pursue her, while Jiao Yanran didn’t dare to go after Meng Fan.
When Jiao Yanran had a crush on Meng Fan, if she had tried pursuing him, everything could have been different.
Oh, well. Perhaps.
Qu Jingjing — the leader of the legion of female fans and also the leader of the Iron Hero Guard Corps, which was created without Meng Fan’s knowledge — saw the photos, too. So did the other three members of the legion in her dorm room.

Hugs, Jingjing.


Don’t cry, Jingjing.


Jingjing, any regrets? If you started earlier, you could have had a chance. Now, the chance is slimmer.

Qu Jingjing liked the update on social media then smiled, shaking her head.
I don’t regret it. I told you, the rumor about Iron Hero and Su Qingcen was fake. Iron Hero is not one of those players. See, that was a fake rumor. I don’t regret liking Iron Hero, I’ll keep liking him!

There’s no regret, but there’s resignation.
Qu Jingjing regretted that she didn’t know Meng Fan before Wu Tong. If she did… okay, her heart started to flutter at the thought.
She was Meng Fan’s number one female fan. She knew what he was like before he met Wu Tong. To be honest, she didn’t know if she would have liked him back then.
Qu Jingjing has liked Wu Tong ever since she saw her. It wasn’t because she wanted to get closer to Meng Fan, she was just dazzled by Wu Tong. Later on, Qu Jingjing was impressed by Wu Tong’s taste.
She even thought that if Meng Fan didn’t meet Wu Tong and decided to pursue her, he wouldn’t have improved so much, and she wouldn’t have liked him so much!
Life was really magical!
Qu Jingjing made a fist with her hand, cheering on herself. If Meng Fan could improve himself for someone he liked, so could she. Even if she could never be beside Meng Fan, she wanted to make herself better, so she could have better choices!
The person who gained the best understanding of the word
choice
was probably the woman making coffee for Hu Tingsong. It was the same long-legged woman that Meng Fan and Wu Tong ran into one night, who called Hu Tingsong
honey.

She felt lucky that she picked the perfect moment to pursue Hu Tingsong, and managed to land him.
She also saw the news of Meng Fan and Wu Tong holding hands. She was actually grateful for the two of them.
If Hu Tingsong wasn’t so in love with Wu Tong for years, he would have been together with other girls.
If Meng Fan didn’t appear, then Hu Tingsong would never have given up on Wu Tong. She would also have been turned down like other girls who chased after Hu Tingsong.
She managed to enter Hu Tingsong’s world at the best moment, which she occupied and won!
Hu Tingsong had plenty of flaws, but he was good-looking and rich, and he was from a well-known family.
She knew that, with her, whether it was looks, pedigree, or personal talent, she was out of her league with Hu Tingsong.

Tired?

She went over to Hu Tingsong, put the coffee down, then massaged his temples.
Take a break, let me massage you.


Great.

Hu Tingsong put his phone face down on the table. He leaned back and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.
She pretended that she saw nothing and nothing had happened. She kept massaging his temple.
…
It just so happened that at eight that night, the show Wu Tong recorded in the capital about national treasures aired. The most beautiful restoration artisan for classical art appeared in front of people. Her photos were shown before, but this time, people saw her in motion on the show.
Soon after the show aired, #MostBeautifulRestorationArtist started trending on Weibo. Clips featuring Wu Tong also went viral.
The clips with Wu Tong weren’t long, but her looks, character, and style all made a deep impression on people. People have seen her face, but her personal style was seen for the first time. Her voice was angelic, every move of hers was pleasing to the eye, and the most striking thing was her deep understanding of classical art. The art skills she displayed were simply miraculous.
There were plenty of beautiful and talented people, but they were still impressive. Not to mention she was the youngest and most beautiful art restorer at the Forbidden Palace.
While people were busy calling her the
classical art princess,
photos of her and her boyfriend were also posted in popular forums.

The classical art princess already has a boyfriend. Look at him! You can’t mess with a guy like that!


Wow, isn’t he the Iron Hero?’

Iron Hero is my idol! He was rumored to be with Su Qingcen, and now he’s with the new classical art princess! He doesn’t waste any time!


They were saying the hookup with Shan Jin Bro was a rumor. Now we know!

On Weibo, people were busy talking about this development. On a forum at a Hangzhou college, a post titled
How Fatty Meng Got the Most Beautiful Artist
became very popular.

The Origin of the Title ‘Most Beautiful Art Restorer’— Link


Today’s National Art Treasures Show — Link


Ways of Declaring Your Feelings at the Library — Link


…

A bunch of related articles were at the top of the post before the article continued.

I started writing this post about two months ago. I was going to keep writing until Meng Fan and Wu Tong were together to publish it, and finally, it’s time.


I want to start with ‘Ways of Declaring Your Feelings at the Library — Link.’ Most people know that, after they read the post, the crazy fat guy in the library telling every girl he liked them was Meng Fan. And a lot of people also know that he declared to so many people because he lost a bet.


From this incident, we can deduce that the first condition for a fatty or loser getting their dream girl was having thick skin!

Indeed, the article writer was Yu Xiaoyu, the observer of fringe people, who saw Meng Fan declaring his love for many girls in the library.
For the rest of the article, Yu Xiaoyu also analyzed Meng Fan’s determination while jogging, generosity in donating to the marathon, earning money via the webcast, and attention while attending a concert with Wu Tong. Meng Fan only sang to Wu Tong at the Bai Zhi concert. He was willing to show his feelings for Wu Tong whenever and wherever, he had the courage, gentlemanliness, and machismo…
Yu Xiaoyu obviously started noticing Meng Fan as soon as he saw him. He knew Meng Fan’s history very well. Many things which people didn’t know or notice were all included in his observations.
The article was very long. It covered not only the events involving Meng Fan and Wu Tong, it also covered all of Meng Fan’s changes after he began jogging and all of the later events, too. It helped people understand this relationship and what Meng Fan had been up to in the past few months.
After many words, the article ended with a lesson: Just give up, this is not something an ordinary person could achieve.
If he could do all of this, he was not an ordinary fat homebody: He was a diamond-studded fat homebody. Actually, he wasn’t a fat homebody anymore; he was an Iron Hero!
Many comments were posted after the article, which were quickly re-posted in the discussion for #MostBeautifulRestorationArtist on Weibo.
Wu Ji didn’t see the article, but he did see Wu Tong on TV. He also saw photos of Wu Tong and Meng Fan together.
Pow!
He kicked away the table in front of him.
Wu Ji had no doubt that his younger sister had her heart set on Meng Fan. Their holding hands together was her declaration.
Bastard!

I hate this! I can’t believe I helped him!
