Stealing Your Heart Chapter 604

Across the table, Shen Peichuan’s chopsticks froze in his hands. “You don’t like what you’re currently studying?”

Sang Yu’s gaze lowered as she toyed with a piece of flour tortilla with her chopsticks. “Of course I like what I’m studying. That’s why I chose this major in the first place. It’s just that…”

Shen Peichuan dug his scrutinizing gaze into her face. “What’s the matter then? Are you regretting your decision?”

“Not really. I just decided to change my mind.” A sweet smile broke across Sang Yu’s face as she looked back up at him.

“Tell me about it.”

Sang Yu finally picked up the battered piece of flour tortilla and dipped it in the spicy sauce before eating it in one go. She chomped down on it and swallowed hard before saying calmly, “I already told you, but you didn’t get it.”

“Huh? I didn’t get what you said?” Shen Peichuan looked at her, confused. Everything she said was as plain as day, and he was sure that he understood her perfectly.

Sang Yu decided to change the topic and said, “Why not you try this dish?” She knew he was not someone who was good at reading in between the lines. But all of a sudden, she felt that she was not ready to let him know how she felt either.

As anticipated, Shen Peichuan simply nodded and dropped the topic without thinking any further.

After the hearty meal, the two left the restaurant and headed for the car. “This meal was really a good deal. You only spent a hundred, and the food was delicious,” Sang Yu said with a bright smile.

She felt that it was a good bargain compared to the earlier restaurant.

The only reason why everything was overpriced at that restaurant was because of the atmosphere—and she did not see the need to pay for that.

“I’ll send you to your uni,” Shen Peichuan offered.

“It’s fine, I’ll just see you off. My uni is nearby so I’ll just take a cab,” Sang Yu rejected. She figured he must be busy.

“It’s okay, I still have some time. Let’s go,” he replied.

Since he insisted on sending her over, Sang Yu thanked him and got in the car.

“You don’t need to thank me. You’re the one who’s done me a favor today.”

Shen Peichuan knew his way to her university, but instead of stopping right in front of the school, he pulled over at a distance.

“I’ll drop you off here. See you,” he bid.

Shen Peichuan had learned his lesson after what happened last time. He did not want Sang Yu to go through the whole ordeal again.

After all, she was a girl, and he took it on himself to protect her.

Sang Yu understood where he was coming from. She unbuckled the safety belt and waved him goodbye. “Drive safe,” she said before opening the door.

“Sure. Call me if you need anything,” Shen Peichuan said with a firm nod.

Sang Yu got off the car and waited as he drove off before walking into the school.

But no matter how wary they were this time around, someone had still caught them red-handed.

Across the road, Song Yaxin sat in the car, watching them. She had found out from her dad that Sang Yu was a student at Huaqing University. It so happened that Song Yaxin was best friends with the chancellor’s daughter, and she had always visited them.

After getting a long lecture from her dad, Sang Yu still felt something was off. She knew Shen Peichuan was a dense and conservative man. It was impossible that he would fall for a university student. She thought that it must be Sang Yu who had seduced him.

Song Yaxin released the parking brake and whooshed by Sang Yu as she headed into the university.

But Sang Yu changed her mind and decided to go back to her dorms and wash her clothes before heading for class. She still had some time before her class started at 3 o’clock.

Sang Yu even had some spare time to take a nap after washing her clothes. By 2 o’clock, she got up and went to class. But before she could even step into the lecture hall, her professor called her over to his office.

“Did you offend anyone by any chance?” the professor asked.

“I don’t think I did,” Sang Yu replied with a clueless look.

“Someone has been raking up the scandal over at the chancellor’s side,” the professor pointed out.

“I thought we’ve already solved that matter?” Sang Yu blurted out in a questioning tone. She really had no idea who would try to bring that incident up again.

“I don’t know what happened either. Just write me a reflection essay,” the professor said, shaking his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do since this was what the chancellor wanted.

“Just a reflection essay?” Sang Yu probed. She felt as if the issue was not as simple as that.

The professor let out a sigh and decided to tell her everything. “You’ll have to read it out loud in front of all the faculty members and students at the university. Your reflection will also be put on the blackboard to serve as a cautionary tale for everyone.”

Sang Yu clenched her fists in anger at the ridiculous punishment. “Why are they doing this now? We’ve already settled everything last time. I don’t mind writing a reflection essay, but to read it out in front of everyone and even have it pinned on the blackboard? I don’t think that’s fair!”

Her professor thought such a request was unreasonable as well, but he was only taking orders from the higher-ups. “I understand how you feel. But I’ll advise you to do as they ask if you want to graduate as planned.”
