Chapter 749
Holding onto her mobile phone and schoolbag while squatting in the toilet, Gu Mengmeng suddenly felt like she was in a trance.
She had read her horoscope before leaving the house and it had said that today was a good day to confess romantic feelings. But why did all sorts of unlucky things start to happen from the moment she had done so?
The bell signaling the start of class was ringing but Gu Mengmeng had no intention of going for her lessons.
Her job was gone. Her lodgings were also gone…
She had a small amount of savings which should be enough to last her until she found a new job. But the lack of accommodations was a pressing problem and she needed to find a replacement immediately. Otherwise, she would be sleeping under the bridge tonight.
Still in a daze, Gu Mengmeng washed her face and gave her mirrored reflection a pep talk. She then left the washroom and prepared to search the nearby areas to see if there were any available rental rooms suitable for a female student.
She had just left the washroom when she saw someone leaning against the wall outside the exit. It was a man who possessed your classic European good looks and who radiated an irresistible air of nobility. Even though he was smiling, one still felt the urge to rush over and prostrate themselves before him.
Without any apparent reason, Gu Mengmeng felt herself blushing helplessly.
Lowering her head, she turned to flee in the opposite direction. But how could her short legs hope to go any faster than his long limbs?
With one step, Snake easily grabbed hold of Gu Mengmeng’s school bag and pulled her back, causing her to fall backwards.
He was already well prepared to catch her in his embrace, as he held her firmly against his chest and used one hand to pinch her chin. There was a playful glint in his eye and a teasing curl of his lips. His words were as clear as pearls landing on a jade platter. “Did you cry?”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned. She guessed that Snake must have been referring to how he had held her in class earlier.
Not daring to provoke this young master, Gu Mengmeng forced a smile. “Did you lose in a game of truth or dare? The punishment was to make me cry? Then… should I help you out by shedding a tear or two?”
Snake’s face was stony. “You cannot cry. It’ll be too ugly.”
“Then I won’t cry, oh great one. Can you let me go now?” Gu Mengmeng looked pleadingly at Snake.
Snake raised his brows. “On what grounds?”
Gu Mengmeng was caught unawares by his question and had no response to it. He should not even be holding her like that, so shouldn’t he be letting go? What did he mean by on what grounds?
Snake’s lips curled upwards. “You nearly fell and I caught you. You want me to let go without a word of thanks?”
Understanding dawned on Gu Mengmeng and she hurriedly nodded. “Oh, I forgot in a moment of confusion. Great one, thank you. Thank you thank you thank you.”
“Do you know who I am? Hmm?” Snake continued to hold on firmly to Gu Mengmeng, who was struggling to escape.
Gu Mengmeng put on a fawning expression. “Who in the entire S College doesn’t know you. Your great reputation is like the sound of thunder to the ears, like the bright sun across the sky, like…”
“Who am I?”
Gu Mengmeng said, “The coolest dude in school…”
“My name?” Snake remained unsatisfied.
Gu Mengmeng’s lips formed a straight line, before she finally shook her head in all honesty.
Snake narrowed his eyes, obviously angry.
Was he still not famous enough? So as to hold the status of “Senior God” in her heart, he had gone as low as swimming with a bunch of useless idiots, and provided base entertainment for the masses. Yet this heartless girl didn’t even know his name?
Grinding his teeth, Snake asked, “Answer me. Take it as my acceptance of your gratitude. Didn’t you used to like guys in the swimming club? Why don’t you like them anymore?”
