Transmigrated to Another World and Doted on by Everyone!-Chapter 177: After the Storm

Rong Xingyu looked at Pan Yinhu, whose face was ashen and who looked as though he could barely remain standing, and said coldly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Pan Yinhu clenched his teeth tightly. "What does this recording even prove? Isn’t it possible that you fabricated it to frame me?"

"Since I can get my hands on this kind of evidence, do you really think I don’t have anything else?" Rong Xingyu frowned.

Watching Pan Yinhu struggle so desperately at the brink made him feel that it was truly ridiculous.

"Do you really want to blow this matter up even further?"

Pan Yinhu knew that what Rong Xingyu said was true.

He cast one final look at Rong Xingyu, then, as if all the spirit had been drained out of him, he left the dormitory in a daze.

What ultimately awaited Pan Yinhu was a disciplinary notice circulated throughout the entire department, as well as an indelible stain left forever on his personal record.

That record would accompany Pan Yinhu for his entire life and regardless of whether he had acted under a moment of obsession, Pan Yinhu was destined to pay the price for this mistake.

In just a few short days, Pan Yinhu had grown drastically thinner and looking haggard, as if he had aged many years overnight.

Even though he had been publicly disciplined, Pan Yinhu still insisted on not withdrawing from school.

Because Pan Yinhu knew exactly how important a degree from Liaofang University was to him; his academic credentials would be his last and only hope.

However, Pan Yinhu seemed to have adopted a give-up-on-everything attitude. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

He no longer maintained any sort of gentle facade and instead his entire being, from the inside out, exuded a gloomy, oppressive aura.

Whenever he looked at people, he would stare at them blankly and unblinkingly, making others feel uneasy to the core.

Pan Yinhu also moved out of Rong Xingyu and the others’ dormitory early on.

According to what Ye Shiyuan said, it seemed that Pan Yinhu had rented a basement room off campus.

Not long after that, there was more news that Pan Yinhu’s psychological issues had already become quite serious.

His parents went through the formalities to have him take a leave of absence, then brought Pan Yinhu back home.

After hearing this news, Rong Xingyu could not help but glance at the now-empty bed near the dormitory entrance.

Previously, Pan Yinhu had taken all of his belongings with him, leaving that space so clean it was as if no one had ever lived there at all.

Rong Xingyu could not help but sigh.

How had things ended up developing like this?

Once this entire matter had finally settled, Rong Xingyu and the others were also able to bid farewell to the terrifying exam week.

Rong Xingyu finally had time to deal with another matter.

He took out his phone and slowly typed on the keyboard.

[ Now let’s talk about why you have that audio recording made with my phone, dear Dr. Ding. ]

..

Aphrodite was a very famous lounge bar in Liaofang City.

Unlike other bars, there were no eerie blinding lights here, no deafening noisy music, and no crowds of people wildly twisting their bodies to the beat on a dance floor.

On weekend nights, unfamiliar faces sat in small groups scattered throughout the bar.

Tonight’s singer had a slightly hoarse voice and the emotionally charged singing slowly spread through the air.

Under the dim lighting, the bartender gently swayed his body and gracefully mixing a cocktail with exceptionally elegant movements.

In the end, he even pinned a plump and vividly red cherry onto the rim of the glass.

The bartender then carried the drink and leisurely walked toward a certain corner of the bar.

Even though his movements were not flashy, he still drew the attention of many people in the bar.

Because the bartender walked straight toward a young man sitting alone in the corner.

The youth rested his chin on one hand, his thick eyelashes lowered, as if he were lost in thought.

The heating in the bar was strong and he had long since taken off his heavy coat, revealing a slightly loose, creamy-white knit sweater underneath.

The youth’s aura was so clean and pure that it seemed somewhat out of place in a venue like this.

From the moment he stepped into the bar, he had attracted the attention of almost everyone present.

However, the youth did not seem to be in a particularly good mood, so he paid no mind to the subtle, probing gazes cast toward him from all directions.

He kept glancing, consciously or unconsciously, at the phone resting on the table.

The bartender bent down and gently placed the carefully prepared drink in front of the youth.

Only then did the youth finally lift his head.

The instant he looked up, soft gasps rose almost simultaneously from different corners of the bar.

The bartender also froze for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses.

He could not help but sigh inwardly.

He had worked in bars for so long and seen all kinds of beautiful people, thinking himself already quite worldly, yet he had still been momentarily stunned by the youth’s looks.

The youth tilted his head slightly in confusion as if asking about the bartender’s purpose.

With a faint smile, the bartender said, "This is a drink called Heartbeat that a gentleman ordered for you."

Rong Xingyu: "Heartbeat?"

"He wishes you a wonderful night here."

Rong Xingyu smiled in understanding and thanked the bartender.

After the bartender left, seeing that Rong Xingyu was not as unapproachable as they had imagined, the people around him began to grow restless.

Eventually, someone else could no longer hold back and came forward to strike up a conversation with Rong Xingyu.

A woman with exquisite smoky makeup and long voluminous wavy hair walked over with a glass of wine in hand and sat directly across from Rong Xingyu.
