NOVPUBShen Roujia looked around, surprised that no one seemed to know where this item came from. She hesitated slightly before opening the box, only to find a belt inside.
Shen Roujia was even more puzzled. Could someone have forgotten this here? 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
At that moment, Zhang San returned, craning his neck to see what Shen Roujia was holding. “A belt?”
Shen Roujia touched the belt, noticing the gemstones embedded in it. “It seems to be quite valuable, but I have no idea who might have left it here. I’ll ask around after morning class tomorrow.”
Zhang San’s eyes twinkled as he suddenly burst into laughter. “Logically, something packed in such a box is likely a gift.”
Zhang San eyed Shen Roujia from head to toe. “Master, you’re not only highly educated but also strikingly handsome. Perhaps some Miss admires you and sent it secretly.”
“Belt gifts carry a very special meaning. They’re usually given to someone you have feelings for.”
Shen Roujia’s hand trembled in shock. “What?”
Zhang San’s grin remained. “Master, you’re quite fortunate.”
Shen Roujia’s face darkened. “What are you joking about now? You know very well…”
Zhang San shrugged. “Master, your current status is different from before. Many people would want to have some connection with you.”
“Not to mention around here, but if you choose to stay in the Academy, the Emperor might even bestow a marriage upon you.”
Shen Roujia felt a jolt in her heart. She had been so focused on her own goals that she completely forgot about keeping a low profile. If she allowed things to continue like this, when she reached the appropriate age, it would be difficult to avoid marrying someone.
Shen Roujia paced back and forth. “I can’t waste a good girl’s life.”
Zhang San couldn’t understand what exactly was on Shen Roujia’s mind, but it was clear that this was the situation at hand.
