Chapter 74

"Without any reason, I just don't want to sign!" Liu Meng stood up and replied indifferently.

Donggua's fair face turned red with anger, and her temper flared up. She slapped the coffee table, making the cups rattle, and said angrily, "Fatty Three, what conditions do you have? Just say it!"

Liu Meng didn't expect Donggua to get so angry, and he was momentarily stunned.

Donggua was naturally proud. She had been careful not to be taken advantage of, but now she felt she had to blame herself. She had been speaking cautiously, but Fatty Three remained unyielding. Her temper couldn't be held back any longer. After speaking, she felt a bit uneasy.

But the words were already out, and groveling and apologizing would be useless. She put her hands on her hips and acted defiantly, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman? You have to sign, whether you like it or not!"

Liu Meng found it amusing. He had heard of tyrants forcing their way, but never of a female tyrant forcing a signature. He looked at Donggua with a playful smile and said, "I've always told you not to pretend. You act so obedient, but I can tell you're not a gentle woman. This is better. Don't hold back; it's more comfortable for both of us."

"What conditions do you want? I know you've also posted your book on Huandao Book Alliance. Whatever conditions they offer, we can match and even surpass them." Donggua was aggressive, fully recovering her air of a talented and beautiful girl. Her presence was indeed powerful.

"I'll just say I'm being impulsive. I usually don't have principles, but I'm a bit stubborn in some aspects." Liu Meng said calmly, facing Donggua's powerful presence.

Donggua glared at him, wanting to slap him, but she also felt some admiration. As someone in the online literature world, she had a sense of chivalry and understood Liu Meng's gratitude for Ye Lang's unconventional recognition and support.

However, the entire future of Dian Niang depended on her, and she had to succeed. She wasn't indecisive and could only push forward. She didn't say anything, just looked at Liu Meng.

Liu Meng didn't waste words and went to take a shower. He was covered in the smell of alcohol and sweat. When he came out, dressed and refreshed, Donggua had changed into a white dress. It was undeniable that the white dress suited her cold and proud demeanor, making her stand out.

Liu Meng left the room and walked to school, with Donggua following behind. When Liu Meng started running, Donggua followed, never letting him out of her sight.

"Are you done yet? I've already told you, I won't sign. You following me won't change that. It's ridiculous."

They entered the campus, and a beautiful woman following him drew many envious glances from male students, but it was also a problem.

Entering the main building, Donggua followed. Liu Meng had to turn back, and Donggua followed him out. She was like a clingy shadow, making it impossible for Liu Meng to do anything. They walked a few more steps and reached the library. An idea came to him, and he swiped his card to enter, smirking to himself. "Let's see you follow now. The library has a security system."

Sure enough, the strict and stern gatekeeper, Old Yang, appeared and blocked Donggua, who was trying to enter through the exit, "This is the exit. You need to swipe your card to enter."

Old Yang was impartial and strict.

"Sir, I forgot my card today. Can you let me in, please?" Donggua pleaded softly, her voice so gentle it could make any man's heart flutter.

But Old Yang was past his prime and sternly replied, "No tricks. No card, no entry."

Donggua had to stop and fume, her face red with anger.

Soon, a few male students came to the library and saw Donggua standing by the entrance, looking upset. The Ice City Institute of Technology had few female students, and even fewer were beautiful.

Such a beautiful girl standing there was a rare sight!

The male students glanced at her a few times, then started laughing and joking, not entering the library. They kept stealing glances at the beautiful girl in white.

One of them, bolder and more handsome, decided to approach her. "Hello, classmate. I'm a freshman in the School of Mechanical and Power Engineering. Can I get to know you? Oh, don't worry, I have no ulterior motives."

Donggua had noticed the male students watching her. She had seen this scene many times in Jianghai, where she was often approached on the street. She was well-versed in dealing with such situations.

Donggua felt a bit frustrated. If Fatty Three could handle things like this, the signing task would be much easier.

She smiled warmly, like a gentle spring breeze, making the male student feel very hopeful and proud of his charm. He stood up straighter.

"Hello, classmate. I forgot my campus card today and need to enter the library to look up some important information. The gatekeeper won't let me in. I'm waiting for a friend to bring my card, but I don't know when they'll arrive. Can you lend me your card? I'll return it as soon as I enter."

Donggua's voice was gentle, and her eyes were soft. The male student was completely charmed.

What a great opportunity to help a beautiful girl! A skilled opportunist wouldn't let this go. He immediately turned back to borrow a card from his friends, who were laughing and joking.

"Damn, it looks like he has a chance. I should have been bold and approached her too. Oh well, you lucky dog."

"Stop talking. Lend me your card."

"Deal. You have to treat us to hotpot tonight."

"Look at you. If I succeed, I'll treat you for a week."

He quickly returned with a card and handed it to Donggua, smiling and helping her with the wind curtain at the entrance.

In Ice City, after November, a wind curtain was hung at the main entrance to prevent heat from escaping.

Donggua didn't hesitate, took the card, and swiped it to enter. She glanced at Old Yang and walked confidently inside. The male student followed, and they went up to the second floor. Donggua immediately returned the card and politely said, "Thank you."

She was about to leave.

The male student quickly stepped forward, a bit embarrassed, "Um, can I have your phone number?"

"Oh, I don't use a phone. Sorry. But I might come to the library again tomorrow. I might forget my card again. Thanks a lot today. I have to go now." Donggua walked away, looking for Fatty Three.

The male student thought to himself, "Is she hinting that I should come back tomorrow? Wow, this is a good day! Everything is going my way!" He hummed a tune, feeling very pleased.

Finally free from Donggua, Liu Meng was happy to reach the C section of the mathematics collection. He had fallen in love with the feeling of being immersed in the world of mathematics. After solving the Sitapan Conjecture, he didn't stop there but became interested in other areas of mathematics. He planned to read through all the classic theories of the 19th and 20th centuries and focus on the ones that interested him.

Being fully immersed in the world of mathematics was like the entire world was constructed with mathematical theories. It was a very unique and captivating feeling.

He brought dozens of thick books and piled them up, hiding himself among them. From other angles, he was invisible.

Donggua searched the entire library but couldn't find Fatty Three. She was out of breath and stopped at the stairs, panting and patting her chest to catch her breath. She muttered, "Fatty Three, are you a rat? Did you burrow underground?"

She decided to search every corner again, determined to find Fatty Three.

After a while, Liu Meng smiled in satisfaction. This feeling was truly refreshing. He lay back in his chair, stretched, and leaned his head back.

Suddenly, he saw a beautiful face not far behind him. He shivered and stood up, surprised to see the cold and proud girl standing there.

"You... How did you get in? And you're standing behind me like a little ghost!"

Donggua smiled smugly, her cold face showing a hint of pride and playfulness, like an ice cap melting. It was different from her polite smile. She replied, "Is it hard for a girl to enter the library?"

She continued, surprised, "Fatty Three, you're really different. You write such good novels and are so passionate about mathematics. Looking at all these strange symbols makes my head spin. I can't believe you can sit here for hours, enjoying it. What's your brain made of?"

Donggua was genuinely amazed. Her math had always been terrible, and she was extremely biased towards literature. She had always admired and envied students who excelled in math, especially at such a high level. It was shocking.

Liu Meng found her very annoying. He didn't like people knowing his secrets, and Donggua was learning more and more about both his online and real-life worlds. It made him feel like he was being constantly watched. He ignored her and stood up to leave.

Donggua followed closely behind.

They played a cat-and-mouse game in the library. Liu Meng had no choice but to run to the restroom. Donggua, with her cold face, waited outside, making some male students hesitant to enter, feeling embarrassed under her gaze.

After a while, Liu Meng came out, and Donggua followed. Other male students cursed, "Damn, the beauty's eyes are blind!"

Leaving the library, Liu Meng couldn't take it anymore and snapped, "What do you want?"

Donggua stood firm, not backing down, and said resolutely, "Sign the contract!"

"No!" Liu Meng replied coldly.

Donggua didn't get angry, maintaining her cold demeanor, determined to follow him.

Sigh, she's more clingy than a plaster! Liu Meng was very frustrated!
