Chapter 145: Misunderstanding

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After Min Nan turned around, the young female scholars started discussing excitedly.

In rural areas, finding a man with neat clothing and decent facial features was not easy. However, the man in front of them had a confident bearing, broad shoulders, and a trim waist. His handsome facial features carried a touch of ruggedness, making him exude a strong sense of masculinity.

For the young female scholars, who were accustomed to rough and rural men, this man was exceptionally striking. Just a single glance made several young female scholars blush, and their hearts raced.

Xin Yan’s roommate was especially excited. She pushed Xin Yan excitedly and exclaimed, “Why are you still standing there? Go quickly! Why didn’t you tell us earlier? He’s so handsome!”

Before Xin Yan could react, she was pushed forward, nearly losing her balance and taking a few steps forward before stopping in front of Min Nan.

Silence filled the air. Min Nan’s brows furrowed gradually.

Xin Yan felt incredibly embarrassed. She didn’t recognize the stranger in front of her, and her friends and roommates were urging her to invite him inside.

Xin Yan’s fair complexion turned red. She stomped her foot angrily and turned around, saying, “Don’t talk nonsense. I don’t know him!”

Xin Yan’s roommate, Li Han, was taken aback. So this man wasn’t Xin Yan’s childhood friend’s neighbor.

Li Han immediately reacted. Her tone was still very excited. “Then he must be here to pursue you. Why are you blushing? Hurry up and talk to him!”

Xin Yan’s face reddened even further. Was the man guarding the dormitory entrance because he was interested in her? Yet, she had never seen this man before.

Xin Yan was very beautiful, so many young male scholars pursued her. Some sent love letters weekly, while others discreetly watched her from outside her dormitory. A few even bought gifts for her.

Xin Yan bit her lip and cautiously looked up at Min Nan. She had to admit that he embodied the kind of look she preferred, handsome without being overly rugged, and not as fragile as the typical scholar. His attractiveness carried a balanced hint of toughness.

Min Nan lowered his head slightly, and their eyes met. Xin Yan felt her heart race. The man’s sharp gaze left her momentarily breathless and slowed her breathing.

“You,” Xin Yan licked her lips, her voice slightly husky. “Do you have something to say?”

Min Nan’s trown deepened. What did he want to say?

He had intended to ask what the group of people in front of him wanted. He was waiting for Ye Ling, and their sudden rush outside left him perplexed.

Xin Yan received no response from the man. He didn’t appear to pay her any attention, shifting his gaze back to the dormitory entrance.

Xin Yan had never been ignored like this before. She felt immensely awkward.

She couldn’t comprehend what this man wanted. He seemed to be guarding the dormitory entrance, but his attitude towards her was aloof. Was he trying to get her attention?

Just as Xin Yan speculated about the man’s motives, two girls emerged from the dormitory building. The man’s eyes immediately lit up, and his aura changed.

The man walked toward the two girls and looked at one of them. He asked, “Is everything ready?”

The girl nodded, then noticed the people still standing by the dormitory entrance. She politely moved aside to clear the way for them.

Only then did Xin Yan realize that the man in front of her wasn’t there for her. He was waiting for that girl!

In an instant, Xin Yan’s face felt like it was burning up. She was frustrated with Li Han’s impetuousness and regretted making assumptions without understanding the situation.

However, Xin Yan and Li Han can’t be entirely blamed for this. After all, they had been living here for more than half a year and had never heard of anyone moving in. So when they saw the man standing at the door, everyone naturally assumed he was Xin Yan’s admirer.

The atmosphere instantly turned awkward.

Ye Ling felt that everyone was scrutinizing her with their gaze, and the atmosphere was peculiar. She couldn’t help but glance at Min Nan, using her eyes to ask, “What happened outside just now?”

After the group of young female scholars grasped the situation, they glanced at Ye Ling and Min Nan and then held each other’s hands as they entered the dormitory building. At the same time, they lowered their heads and whispered to each other..
