Chapter 205: You Still Want to Slay a Dragon?
“You guys are actually holding a sports meet? How come you didn’t mention it before?”
At the school’s back gate, Liu Rushuang parked the car and asked with some excitement.
“What’s so surprising about that? Aren’t all schools’ autumn sports meets held around this time? It’s not just ours—almost every university in Jiangning City is having theirs these days. You can go check, I guarantee they’re all the same.” Lin Mo casually unfastened his seatbelt, opened the door, and got out.
Seeing this, Liu Rushuang followed suit and naturally hooked her arm around his, smiling. “Hey, your sister here’s been out of school for so long I’ve completely forgotten about sports meets. Just in time today—take me inside for a stroll!”
Feeling the softness from his arm, Lin Mo frowned slightly. This woman really was fickle.
When she had just gotten in the car earlier, she had looked like she wanted to kill him. Now, after such a short while, she had gone from cloudy to sunny—like she wasn’t the one who flipped out in the first place.
“Wait, don’t you have to go back to your company?” Lin Mo asked in confusion. Shouldn’t such a big boss be busy?
“Sister here is the boss, okay? The employees do the work—I just need to make sure things go in the right direction. Besides, the company’s already stable now. Can’t I enjoy myself a little? Come on, let’s go, it’s been ages since I’ve watched a sports meet.”
Saying that, Liu Rushuang tugged on Lin Mo’s arm, ready to set off.
For one, she truly hadn’t seen a campus sports meet in years and was feeling a bit nostalgic. For another, after today, she wouldn’t see him for several days, so naturally, she wanted to spend more time together.
Besides, as she herself said, she only needed to set the company’s direction. The actual work was done by her subordinates—otherwise, could she still call herself the boss?
Just as Lin Mo was about to take her along, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
“Lin Mo?”
The two turned around to see Counselor Jiang Tao standing there, looking at them curiously.
“C-counselor?”
For some reason, Lin Mo tensed up instinctively, while Liu Rushuang remained calm, her expression unchanged. She simply smiled sweetly at the other woman.
“I thought that was you when I saw you earlier. Turns out it really is. You guys in the dorm didn’t leave early, right?” Counselor Jiang Tao asked.
Lin Mo shook his head, lying without blinking. “Of course not, don’t worry. We all bought tickets for tomorrow.”
Even if Sichuan Girl hadn’t treated him kindly, he couldn’t betray her. Unless he was caught red-handed, he wouldn’t admit it.
Fortunately, the counselor didn’t press further. She knew well enough that there were always students who went home early. It wasn’t just seniors—every class had those clever ones who could never resist.
“That’s good. So, when did you start dating such a beautiful girlfriend, huh? Hiding it well, aren’t you?” The counselor looked at Liu Rushuang, then discreetly glanced at the car beside them as she spoke.
Liu Rushuang’s looks already surprised her, but that car—Jiang Tao recognized it—was worth nearly two million yuan. Her student really wasn’t ordinary.
If the girl had been plain-looking, others might have found it distasteful. But with her beauty—even if she seemed a few years older than Lin Mo—no one would say he was at a loss. Any guy would be envious.
As for whether they were really dating, Director Jiang didn’t even doubt it—weren’t they arm in arm?
Hearing that, Lin Mo scratched his head with an awkward chuckle, a little embarrassed but not bothering to explain. He had already accepted his fate.
This time, Liu Rushuang also stayed silent—not because she didn’t know how to greet people, but because it wasn’t necessary. In situations like this, there was no need to show off her social grace; acting like a demure little woman was enough.
Her outfit today wasn’t school-like at all—more mature, in fact. It was better not to speak; pretending to be youthful would only backfire.
“Alright, I was just passing by. You two go ahead and enjoy yourselves. If you’re heading to the sports meet, hurry up—it’s almost over. You might still catch the closing ceremony.” Counselor Jiang waved her hand and walked away.
Once she was gone, Lin Mo finally let out a sigh of relief. The pressure of a teacher’s presence was still too strong. As a student, being seen by a teacher while dating—even though it was allowed in college—was still nerve-wracking.
“Not bad performance, keep it up. From now on, whenever outsiders see us together, just go along with it.” Liu Rushuang tilted her head and teased him with a smile.
She was quite pleased with his reaction—at least he didn’t rush to explain himself. That was good progress.
Liu Rushuang knew well how powerful rumors could be. Sometimes, if something was said often enough, it became true. Slow and steady warmth was always the safest approach—it allowed her to advance or retreat as needed.
Hearing this, Lin Mo thought back to his counselor’s look and spoke helplessly. “Sister Rushuang, can I discuss something with you?”
The moment he said that, Liu Rushuang instantly released his arm, took a step back, and eyed him warily. “What now?”
That “Sister Rushuang” from him was practically a trigger by now. Every time those words came out of his mouth, nothing good followed.
If it wasn’t borrowing money, it was teasing her—and just when she got worked up, he’d hit her with a cruel dose of reality.
“Nothing bad, I promise. I just want to ask—could you drive a different car next time when you come to pick me up or drop me off at school?” Lin Mo said helplessly.
Liu Rushuang blinked. “Why? What’s wrong with this car?”
“It’s not that it’s bad,” Lin Mo sighed. “But when you show up in this car to pick me up and someone sees us, what do you think they’ll assume? That I’ve been kept?”
Hearing that, Liu Rushuang burst into laughter, re-hooked her arm around his, and said with a grin, “Ah, that’s my fault, I didn’t think it through. How about I use my Audi next time? I’ve got one.”
Lin Mo: “An A2?”
Liu Rushuang: “An A8. But I’ve also got a Maybach. Next time it rains, I’ll take you under the overpass in it.”
Lin Mo: “You still want to slay a dragon? Pfft! No way—next time, switch to an Alto!”
Watching Lin Mo’s face break into helpless frustration, Liu Rushuang laughed so hard she nearly collapsed against him, her shoulders shaking. “Sweetie~ That might be hard. I think the Alto’s been discontinued. Not easy to find.”
Lin Mo: “Then I’ll buy you an old man’s scooter instead! Wait—why would I buy you a car? Damn it!”
As he spoke, Lin Mo felt utterly defeated and stomped off toward the school. Liu Rushuang quickly chased after him.
“Hey, hey! Sister likes old man scooters too! Buy me a pink one, and I’ll trade you my Maybach! Don’t go—wait for me!”
The two walked off one after another, while a few boys standing nearby, having witnessed the entire scene, couldn’t help but exclaim:
“Whose subordinate is that guy? I want to worship him as my godfather.”
“Same here!”
