The registration desk at the entrance was already crowded with student union members, handing out souvenir gifts to every student and teacher coming to watch the performance.
At that moment, Jiang Wan was sneakily leading Lin Shen into the grand auditorium, hoping to blend in with the crowd. But since she was too well-known at the school, they were quickly stopped.
"Jiang!"
Upon seeing Jiang Wan, the student union president excitedly stood up and waved.
"Come get a gift over here!"
"..."
Jiang Wan and Lin Shen exchanged a look. Seeing there was no getting out of it, they walked over to the registration desk, and she smiled.
"Are you all busy? You must be tired."
"Not tired."
The student union president was a boy with glasses. He had a gentle, scholarly appearance that gave him the air of a top student.
After handing the souvenir gift to Jiang Wan, he looked at Lin Shen curiously. A flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.
’He’s so handsome!’
For his looks to be acknowledged by another guy was proof that Lin Shen’s visuals were completely off the charts.
Seeing he couldn’t avoid it, he smiled slightly and promptly introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Lin Shen. I’m Gu Wanqing’s brother, and also Jiang Wan’s boyfriend."
Huh?
This two-part introduction left the student union president stunned. The other student union members around him were even more bewildered, looking Lin Shen up and down.
’Counselor Jiang’s boyfriend?’
’When did she start dating?’
’And he’s Gu Wanqing’s brother?’
’This one guy is connected to two of Shanghai International Studies University’s most famous figures at the same time?’
’That’s too much of a coincidence!’
"Oh, so you’re Shen! A pleasure to meet you!"
The student union president was the first to snap out of it. He enthusiastically shook Lin Shen’s hand with both of his and introduced himself.
"Hello! My name is Zheng Cheng, president of the Shanghai International Studies University student union. This is your souvenir gift, please take it."
Huh?
’I get one too?’
Lin Shen looked astonished. ’Letting me in to watch the show is one thing,’ he thought, ’but you’re even giving me a gift?’
’This kid really knows how to play the game!’
"Thank you!"
Lin Shen accepted the souvenir gift with a smile.
"Well, I’ll head inside then. I’ll let you get back to it."
"Okay, take care, Shen! Let’s talk after the performance!"
Zheng Cheng smiled and waved, watching as Jiang Wan led Lin Shen into the grand auditorium.
Seeing this, the other student union members started whispering among themselves, bewildered by their president’s actions.
Because seating was limited, outsiders weren’t normally allowed to enter the grand auditorium through the main entrance.
Even if Lin Shen was Jiang Wan’s boyfriend, he probably couldn’t just violate school rules, right?
Besides, Zheng Cheng had always been known for being fair and upright. How could he possibly pull strings for someone on a matter like this?
Lin Shen was just as puzzled and asked Jiang Wan curiously.
"Is that guy always so friendly? He didn’t even try to stop me. And it’s our first time meeting, but I feel like he’s trying really hard to get on my good side..."
"Why do you think that is?"
Jiang Wan said with a grin. Seeing Lin Shen couldn’t wait for the answer, she slowly revealed it.
"Because he likes Qingqing. Get it now?"
"Ohh~"
Realization dawned on Lin Shen, and he couldn’t help but let out a PFFT of laughter.
’No wonder Zheng Cheng was so enthusiastic toward me. Turns out he’s treating me like his future brother-in-law!’
’What a shame, though.’
’Qingqing is mine.’
...
After passing through the corridor, Lin Shen and Jiang Wan finally arrived at the performance hall.
