"Except for Du Hao, I couldnt think of anything else that would make you so tongue-tied. Now that things have come to this, is there still something you cant say?" Gu Mians eyes dimmed, and the injured hand hung limply by her side.

  Bai Fang saw that Gu Mei, who had just regained a bit of her spirits, was about to sink into despair again, and hastily explained: "I didnt intentionally want to deceive you, its just that...just that..."

  "Is someone gossiping?" Gu Mei didnt wait for Bai Fangfang to finish speaking and continued on her own.

  "Uh..." Bai Fangfang suddenly choked, turning her round eyes, wanting to say something but feeling that anything she said at this moment would seem somewhat pale and powerless, and could only turn into a long sigh.

  There would be gossip in school, and Gu Mei wasnt surprised at all. After all, although her relationship with Du Hao hadnt been widely publicized, it also wasnt hidden from everyone.

  There were still many people secretly admiring her, saying she was a modern Cinderella who found her own Prince Charming and would live a rich life from then on, without having to worry about work like others did after graduation.

  Adding flowers to brocade is easy, but sending charcoal in snowy weather is hard.

  She thought she hadnt offended anyone at school on ordinary days, but now that something has happened, there will always be some gossipers who will spread unpleasant words.

  "Gu Mian, dont be like this. They are just sour grapes because they cant have what they want and its hard for them to see others doing well. Although youre not the one who did anything wrong, those people... " Bai Fangfang struggled to find the right words, finally saying: "Why dont you come out with me instead? On the one hand, youll gain more experience, on the other hand, its better than staying here and getting frustrated."

  Gu Mei gently stroked the jade bangle on her hand, thinking to herself that she had nothing to fear since she was in the right, and it wasnt her fault, so she didnt need to avoid him.

  But just as she was about to refuse Bai Fangfangs proposal, she raised her head and saw the other persons concerned eyes, and her heart softened, saying in a low voice: "Let me think about it."

  "Hmm!" Bai Fangfang saw that Gu Ming didnt immediately refuse, and her eyes lit up: "The day after tomorrow is the deadline for registration, youd better think it over quickly."

  "I understand." Gu Mian nodded.

  Because she had to rush to finish the paper assigned by her professor, Gu Xiang didnt have the energy to think about Du Haos affairs, putting all her efforts into the paper, and even dinner was brought back from outside by Bai Fangfang.

  Professor Zhang is very strict with his students, and any perfunctory papers will absolutely not pass muster. Moreover, Gu Mei has not put much effort into studying recently, which has caused some dissatisfaction from Professor Zhang. Therefore, she wrote this paper with great difficulty and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

  Fortunately, Bai Fangfangs materials prepared for her were put to good use, otherwise she would not have been able to finish writing the thesis before the deadline.

  It was Monday the next day, Gu Mian got up early as usual, and the person in the mirror had obvious dark circles under her eyes, which clearly showed that she didnt get enough sleep. She stayed up until 3 am last night to work on her thesis.

  "Gu Mian, your complexion looks really bad, is everything okay?" White Fangfang, who had just gotten out of bed, was startled by Gu Mians severe dark circles.

  "Its nothing." Gu Mei shook her head and let out a big yawn.

  She rubbed her forehead, looked down at the jade bangle on her hand, and couldnt help but pout. Last night, she didnt know what was wrong, but all night she dreamed of this jade bangle, flipping it over in her dreams, front and back.

  The first class in the morning happened to be with Bai Fangfang and their major again, so after a simple wash, the two went to the classroom.

  Gu Mei obviously felt that when she walked into the classroom, everyones eyes were focused on her, and the voices in the classroom lowered a lot.

  She randomly found a seat and sat down, trying her best to ignore the sympathetic or schadenfreude gazes.

  "Look quickly, thats Gu Mian."

  "Ah, is that the one who was dumped by Du Hao?"

  "Isnt it just, they were saying she and Du Hao were going to get married before, but..."

  Bai Fangfang couldnt take it anymore, turned her head and glared at the two girls who were talking enthusiastically behind her. The two girls stopped talking when they saw this, but their eyes continued to scan forward, not saying a word about Gu Mian.

  "Never mind them, they have a mouth on their face, let them talk if they want to. Professor Wang is almost here, listening carefully to the lesson is the right thing to do." Gu Mei patted Bai Fangfangs hand and smiled.

  "Youre just being nice." Bai Fangfang pouted.

  Whats the use of being in a good mood? This kind of thing is originally getting worse and worse, if she goes out to explain it, then in other peoples eyes, it will be even more obvious that she was abandoned by Du Hao. Besides, putting aside other reasons, she was indeed abandoned by Du Hao, although Du Hao showed a helpless attitude.

  Helpless and what are all excuses, in fact, it is that she cant surpass Du Haos ambition to further expand the business.

  Before long, the bell rang and Professor Wang walked into the classroom on time with the sound of the bell.

  "Today we wont have a lesson, lets have a small test." Professor Wang walked up to the podium and pulled out a wooden box. "I have two pieces of jade here. Youve all learned so much over time and accumulated a lot of knowledge. Now, I want you to come up in pairs, in order, to identify them. Discussion is allowed, and then write down the answers you discuss. This will be recorded as part of your regular grades, so take it seriously."

  As soon as Professor Wangs voice fell, the people below immediately came to their senses, each stretching their necks to see what good things Professor Wang would bring out.

  Their professional identification type, relying solely on book knowledge is far from enough, and they need to see more and practice more, so professors like to take students out to broaden their horizons or bring some small items for students to practice.

  Professor Wang didnt care what the students below were saying, and opened the wooden box by himself, taking out two things from inside.

  One is a golden money turtle, and one is a pair of jade pendant with double happiness character.

  "Double Happiness", is a folk ornament with the implication of love. In ancient times, people wanted to express their affection for each other but couldnt do so directly due to conservative values, so they used beautiful jade carvings of two small animals "huan" (similar to otters) that were intimate and playful together. The word "huan" is homophonous with "huan" (joy), implying the joy of love between men and women in the mortal world. Double Happiness jade pendants were actually tokens used by ancient lovers to express their affection or objects used by elders to educate younger generations about sex and relationships.

  "Starting from the left, you can only look for one minute." Professor Wang was ready and directly called people over.

  One minute is neither long nor too short, mainly testing students first judgment, which is Professor Wangs favorite thing to do.

  Gu Mian and Bai Fangfang were sitting in the left-hand seats, and before long it was their turn.

  They were quite far apart at first and didnt look very clear, but when I got closer, both things looked pretty good from the outside, and there was even a hint of moisture on the golden turtle.

  Just looking is not enough, Gu Mian held the golden turtle in her left hand and only felt a slight warmth, but when she switched it to her right hand, that warm feeling disappeared. The same thing happened with the double happiness pendant, when she held it in her left hand, she felt like it was warmer than the golden turtle, but when she switched it to her right hand, that feeling was gone again, and she couldnt help but feel a little strange.

  Things like jade worn for a long time will get hot, but considering the time those people held it to look at it, Im afraid it shouldnt heat up so quickly. Even if its going to heat up, the left hand should feel hot and the right hand shouldnt have any sensation.

  Also, when she held the golden money turtle in her left hand, there was no special change in her heart, and she just thought that the golden money turtle looked good and the craftsmanship was very good. However, when she switched to holding the double happiness in her left hand, a kind of joyful and pleasant feeling suddenly emerged from the bottom of her heart, as if she could feel the happy intention transmitted by the double happiness.

  The same feeling disappeared after switching to holding it with my right hand again.

  Bang bang bang......

  Gu Mengs heart suddenly beat faster, staring at her left hand, feeling that something unusual had happened to herself.
