Yan Jin, used to being misunderstood, explained again, “Uncle, he’s not my husband. He and I have an ordinary friendship.”

“Not your husband, but you sneak into the young man’s room in the middle of the night? Shameless woman!”

Having said that, the dorm manager immediately wanted to strike the bronze gong in his hand.

Seeing things were going south, Yu Shu put aside his jealousy for now and quickly explained, “Uncle misunderstood, she’s not a bad person.”

“What good woman would sneak into a man’s room in the dead of night?” The uncle didn’t believe it. Seeing Yu Shu still defending Yan Jin, he thought Yu Shu was intimidated by Yan Jin’s power and comforted him, “Don’t worry, just speak up boldly. Qingsong Academy will support you.”

Then the dorm manager glared at Yan Jin, “We won’t ruin a man’s reputation just because of someone’s power.”

“You truly misunderstood.” Yan Jin: “He and I were just talking.”

“You say you’re friends, but would friends sit so close together on the same bed to talk?” The dorm manager looked at Yan Jin with increasing disapproval.

“She’s not my wife-master, she’s…” Under the gaze of Yan Jin and the dorm manager’s four eyes, Yu Shu gritted his teeth. Mortified, he squeezed out a sentence, “She’s the person I have feelings for.”

[Oh my, strictly speaking, this counts as the first time Yu Shu admitted to liking her in front of Yan Jin, right?]

[I don’t remember clearly either, but as CP shippers our job is just to grin, no need to care about these details.]

Having taken the hardest step of expressing his feelings for her in front of Yan Jin, Yu Shu spoke much more smoothly after that, “This isn’t her fault, I invited her to the dorm.”

The dorm manager was exasperated at Yu Shu, “A man’s chastity is so important, but you let your feelings cloud your judgment.”

“Don’t do foolish things while you’re young. These days there are too many people who seem nice but have ill intentions. Don’t be fooled by sweet words and lose your chastity without even getting a proper status.”

[Being deceived by sweet words, is he talking about Yan Jin?]

[Although sometimes Yan Jin’s straightforwardness is indeed quite moving, that still can’t be considered sweet talk.]

[Of course it doesn’t count as sweet talk to us outsiders, but falling on Yu Shu’s ears, it really is sweet talk to him.]

Yu Shu wanted to laugh. How could sweet words have anything to do with Xiao Xiao? Xiao Xiao was the least articulate, she didn’t even know how to say nice things to coax him.

Although Yu Shu vouched for her, the dorm manager was still not at ease. He insisted on waiting for the person on duty to come. Only after confirming that Yan Jin really wasn’t a promiscuous woman, that she and Yu Shu had no blood relation or marital ties, just a complicated yet simple relationship of living together, did the dorm manager let Yan Jin leave.

Although the dorm manager and the person on duty were not gossipy people, rumors spread faster than the wind. Early the next morning, when Tu Zixuan returned from outside, she mysteriously said to Yan Jin, “Did you hear?”

“Hear what?” Yan Jin was bewildered.

“Such a big thing happened last night and you don’t know anything at all?” Tu Zixuan was surprised, “Now everyone in the whole academy knows except you.”

“Last night a wanton woman went to the male dormitory and was caught and beaten to death on the spot by the dorm manager.” Tu Zixuan sighed, “I used to think this kind of thing only happened in storybooks. I didn’t expect that in reality there are also perverts who would die for lust.”

Yan Jin: “???”

When did she become a pervert who intruded into the male dormitory and was beaten to death?

“Too bad it was too late when it was discovered, so the student who found out didn’t get a clear look at what the pervert looked like. Otherwise, with everyone in the academy spitting on the pervert today, the pervert would drown in spit!” Tu Zixuan said, her tone quite exasperated.

“No matter how handsome the male students in the academy are, you can’t mess around in the academy! If you really can’t hold back, go out and let loose during break time to quench the thirst.”

[Geez, if I wasn’t there last night too, I would have believed this rumor.]

[Laughing to death, Yan Jin was just talking with Yu Shu last night. Who knew the next day she would be rumored to be a pervert who intruded into the male dormitory? And a pervert beaten to death. Too tragic.]

[Isn’t the most tragic part that Yan Jin is rumored to be a pervert, but didn’t even get to take any advantage? (pointing fingers)]

The “pervert beaten to death” Yan Jin fell silent.

How did this matter get so wildly distorted in the rumors?

Although the dorm manager was always suspicious of her, he was still quite kind and didn’t lay a hand on her at all, let alone beat her to death.

Yan Jin was extremely grateful that she wasn’t drinking water just now, so she wouldn’t lose composure and spray water in shock upon hearing this news.

At the same time, Yan Jin was also extremely grateful that she left in time last night and didn’t stay. Otherwise, if her face was seen, then today Yan Jin really would be drowned in spit by the students.

The absurdity of the rumors made Yan Jin not even dare to comment on the matter. If she accidentally let something slip, then she would never be able to shake off the “pervert” label.

“Oh right.” Seeing Yan Jin had little interest in the pervert, Tu Zixuan thought she didn’t like this type of scandalous jokes and changed the topic, “There’s another thing you should be interested in.”

Tu Zixuan guessed correctly. Yan Jin was indeed curious, “What thing?”

“That Young Master Yu who came with you yesterday created a sensation in the entrance exam!”

Tu Zixuan clicked her tongue in amazement, “The male teacher in charge of the exam yesterday is known for being very strict. Getting scolded for dancing too fast, getting scolded for missing a note, and so on. Who knows how many young masters taking the exam have been scolded to tears by him. But yesterday during your Young Master Yu’s exam, not only did he not scold him once, he even praised him to the skies.”

Tu Zixuan sighed with feeling, “Now all the students in the academy are curious about what amazing person he is to be so impressive.”

“That’s nothing.” A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yan Jin’s lips, “He has always been outstanding. I’m used to it.”
