On the way back to the dormitory, Chen Nan pondered for a long time but still couldn't understand why Chu Wenrou was angry.

What did I do to upset her?

Chen Nan dialed Cheng Bingbing's number, hoping to get some information.

But the result was disappointing. Although Cheng Bingbing had been staying at Chu Wenrou's house for the past few days, she also did not understand what had happened, because Chu Wenrou was in a good mood when she went to school this morning.

"Even Cheng Bingbing doesn't know what's going on. It seems her mood only turned sour after she got to school,"

Chen Nan muttered to himself.

Could it be that she heard some bad rumors at school?

Scratching his head, Chen Nan dialed Senior Yi Xiaoyu's number, greeted her, and went straight to the point: "Senior, I need to ask you something."

Yi Xiaoyu replied with a teasing, feigned irritation: "Oh Chen Nan, I wondered why you would remember to call me. Turns out you need something?"

"Senior, you shouldn't say that. I've always been thinking of you. It's just been so busy lately, my head is spinning, I can barely tell east from west. As soon as I found some time, I called to pay my respects immediately…"

Listening to Chen Nan ramble on like he'd been explaining for half an hour, Yi Xiaoyu interrupted with a wry smile, "Alright, you admitted you need to ask me something, and still make it sound so dignified. Fine, I'm too kind-hearted to hold it against you. So, what do you want to know?"

Chen Nan asked, "Did Chu Wenrou eat gunpowder today?"

Yi Xiaoyu was baffled by his question and asked back, "What's wrong with Wenrou? Hasn't she been in a good mood these days?"

"Apparently, you don't know either."

Chen Nan sighed helplessly and said, "Senior, could you do me a favor and go to her dorm to find out what's going on?"

"No problem!"

Yi Xiaoyu agreed instantly but then questioned, "Wait, why are you so concerned about her?"

"Didn't I tell you last time? I'm pursuing her!"

"You're still pursuing her? But she's already got a boyfriend!" Yi Xiaoyu continued, "A few nights ago, she sent red envelopes in the group chat, celebrating her new relationship."

Chen Nan's hand trembled, nearly dropping his phone, "Her… her boyfriend, who is he?"

"She didn't say, claimed it was a secret, promised to bring him to a gathering this weekend for us sisters to see. You've been chasing her so long, how come you haven't figured this out?" Yi Xiaoyu asked.

She couldn't have imagined that the boyfriend Chu Wenrou mentioned was actually Chen Nan.

And Chen Nan himself was also unsure if Chu Wenrou was referring to him as her boyfriend.

After all, that night, Chu Wenrou merely kicked him out of her room, yet she neither rejected nor accepted their relationship.

Seeing Chen Nan silent, Yi Xiaoyu urged, "Come on, since she has a boyfriend now, don't be too stubborn. There are plenty of wonderful girls out there. You're so outstanding, countless girls in this school have feelings for you, like... like..."

Yi Xiaoyu considered saying she herself, but Chen Nan seemed not to hear her, cutting her off with an excuse, "Even if she really has someone else, I'm determined to cut corners."

"..."

Yi Xiaoyu was speechless.

She felt a bit scared, a bit conflicted.

She deceived herself by saying she and Chen Nan were just friends, yet from the very first meeting, she developed feelings for this top-scoring student, or she wouldn't have often proactively contacted him.

Of course, it was merely a strong liking for Chen Nan, hardly an unspoken love.

Love at first sight does exist but not as exaggerated as deep love at first meeting, just a fondness more than usual.

"Why are you so stubborn? I admit Wenrou is indeed quite unique, but other girls aren't lacking either!" Yi Xiaoyu secretly thought, you fool, can't you see I've liked you since the start?

Chen Nan could never have known Yi Xiaoyu's thoughts, he wasn't in the mood to contemplate such things now.

"Senior, please go check at her dorm, don't mention it was my idea." Chen Nan asked.

"Alright, I'll call you later."

Yi Xiaoyu said with a tone of disappointment, hung up the phone.

Without much thought, Chen Nan turned and headed toward his dormitory.

Just reaching the entrance, he heard "clack clack clack" noises from inside; Zhuge Liang's fingers were flying across the keyboard, clearly engaged in rapid typing.

Seeing Chen Nan enter, he immediately stopped working and said, "Brother Lust, you're really unbrotherly, got married yet never told us, and still flirting around, competing with us for girls, that's low."

"Already have such a beautiful wife yet carrying on affairs, aren't you worried your wife will castrate you if she finds out?" Zhang Tufu's voice came from the bathroom.

Then, Gao Laoniu's voice added from the bathroom: "Exactly, calling you Lustful really suits you."

Chen Nan looked towards the bathroom, surprised: "What are you two doing in there, having a bromance?"

Gao Laoniu replied: "No way, I'm fetching water to wash clothes, Tufu's taking a dump."

Chen Nan ignored these antics and asked Zhuge Liang: "Rustic, what did you mean when you said I'm married?"

"Stop pretending, see for yourself."

Zhuge Liang opened the school forum and clicked on a post.

This post had over ten pictures, all of Chen Nan at the wedding ceremony with Eastern Yun Fei.

Below these photos were lines of text, basically saying Chen Nan, the top candidate, was already a husband, urging freshmen and juniors not to consider pursuing him.

"Which idiot posted this crap."

The urge to kill surged in Chen Nan, now he pretty much realized, Chu Wenrou must be angry over this incident?

After all, not knowing if the wedding was real or fake, she certainly couldn't accept it.

Zhuge Liang said, "Apparently, these photos were from an August news story, someone recognized the person in the pictures as you, so they posted it on the school forum."

Chen Nan had understood everything thoroughly. When he held the wedding, with such a grand occasion, just the bridal procession had ninety-nine luxury cars, naturally stirring some media attention; being reported on was nothing surprising.

Frowning, Chen Nan finally pinpointed the reason; he just needed to explain things to Chu Wenrou and all should be well.
