Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Looking Down
"...Don't talk nonsense!" Wen Siyuan's face darkened, "Professor Luo has a
partner, don't you know that? Besides, Professor Luo's partner is very
outstanding. You must not spread rumors in the institute, or else, just think about the consequences yourself!"
He Wei stood stunned.
Everyone lived in the same family quarters, so how could he possibly not know that Professor Luo had a partner? He had just been commenting on Teacher Shen's attitude toward Professor Luo and hadn't mentioned anything about Comrade Kang being good or bad, had he?
Moreover, Professor Luo's partner was the goddaughter of the institute director's couple; he didn't want to lose his job at the institute by making such a low-level mistake.
Shen Yun prodded at her food with her chopsticks, lacking any appetite. Noticing Luo Yanqing about to head to the sink with his lunch box, she hastily called out, "I was home sick yesterday. I chatted with your sister-in-law in the afternoon. Don't you want to know what I told her?"
As if not seeing the curious glances of the colleagues still eating their meals looking her way, Shen Yun looked directly into Luo Yanqing's eyes with a gentle smile. Without waiting for Luo Yanqing to speak, she added, “There's more than an hour before work this afternoon. Why doesn't Professor Luo invite me to sit in your dorm?"
Luo Yanqing, "Comrade, do I know you?" His voice was crisp and deep, marked with obvious indifference and displeasure.
"Luo Yanqing, you..."
He loathed her. Beyond the aloofness and coldness, he... had come to loathe her.
Shen Yun quivered, a trace of hurt uncontrollably emerging in her gaze.
Yet, Luo Yanqing completely ignored it and turned towards the sink.
His figure looked exceptionally aloof and proud. Yet it was this very man who had haunted Shen Yun's dreams during her years abroad, leading her to dissolve her own good marriage.
She found it even harder now to let go of her feelings.
But to use unprincipled means... to win someone's heart was something she couldn't do, feeling it would tarnish the purest affection in her heart.
Shen Yun pressed her lips together, gathered her thoughts, and decided to go to Luo Yanqing's dormitory with a legitimate excuse of seeking guidance on a problem she had encountered in her work.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Standing outside Luo Yanqing's dormitory, Shen Yun tapped lightly with her knuckles.
There was no response from inside.
Shen Yun continued to knock softly, "Knock, knock, knock!"
Still no response.
Her lips pursed tighter, Shen Yun did not give up and tapped her fingers lightly again, "Knock, knock, knock!"
The result was the same.
The door before her remained closed, but the neighboring room's door opened.
"Is it Teacher Shen? Are you looking for Professor Luo for something?"

Frankly, Wen Siyuan was somewhat contemptuous of Shen Yun's behavior.
