The boy looked flustered, his breath unsteady.
Even in the dead of winter, beads of sweat dotted his forehead.
At the sight of Yan Yuexian, the tension on his face suddenly eased.
He rushed to Yan Yuexian’s side and hugged her tightly.
"Yuexian, I knew you’d be here. Are you alright?"
Held in the boy’s arms, Yan Yuexian’s expression softened instantly, a sweet smile spreading across her lips.
Rembering there was another person nearby, she felt a bit embarrassed and nudged the boy embracing her.
"Brother Rui, I’m fine. You can let go now."
Gong Sirui released her, but his gaze remained fixed on her. "Why aren’t you resting yet at such a late hour?"
Yan Yuexian bit her lower lip, shedding the arrogance she typically displayed, now looking extrely docile.
Like a young girl in love.
Xia Weibao raised her eyebrows, sizing up the man before her.
Gray sweater, khaki trench coat, black pants, and sneakers, his handso face sharply defined, sowhat resembling a mixed-blood, very sunny, with a vibe between a mature man and a youthful boy.
Ah, university students are so pure.
Such a delectable young man.
The way she called him Brother Rui was truly youthful and appealing.
Xia Weibao couldn’t help but wonder what Lu Hualiang’s reaction would be if she called him "Brother Liang."
The re thought gave her goosebumps; she’d rather not.
Too shocking to bear.
"I practiced the piano for a bit. Brother Rui, why are you here?"
"I just finished a seminar. The dorm manager ntioned seeing you head out at night without coming back, so I figured you’d be here practicing piano."
Imperial City University is Huaxia’s top school, with excellent accommodation, including luxurious single rooms.
People like Yan Yuexian and Gong Sirui, whose families are wealthy and distinguished, naturally value comfort.
Hence, they reside in luxurious single rooms.
The two live next door to each other; the manager has a good relationship with them and knows they are a couple.
Seeing Yan Yuexian not return so late, naturally, he’s worried.
"Why did your seminar go on so late?" Yan Yuexian frowned.
It was already one in the morning.
"There’s a national academic competition coming up, so I’m pretty busy. Did Ruan Shushu bully you again?"
Gong Sirui’s face turned sullen.
He’s been preparing for the nationwide academic competition lately, very busy, with no ti for Yan Yuexian’s matters.
Tonight, hearing from the manager that Yan Yuexian hadn’t co back, he guessed she must be upset.
Whenever she’s upset, she likes to co to practice piano.
And the reasons for her being upset mostly stem from being bullied.
"No, they wouldn’t dare bully ." Yan Yuexian said, but with a hint of unease.
Gong Sirui clearly understood her reluctance to cause trouble for her family and didn’t press further, deciding to investigate himself!
He raised a hand to gently touch her head, his actions tender, though a flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes.
Xia Weibao raised her eyebrows again; this man wasn’t as sunny and righteous as he seed.
Tsk tsk.
It was only then Gong Sirui noticed the woman standing beside them.
At the sight of Xia Weibao, a hint of amazent flashed in his eyes.
Xia Weibao had already removed her mask, and her face was one that would astonish anyone.
"Xia Weibao?"
He didn’t follow the entertainnt industry, but he knew of Xia Weibao.
She was too popular, popular enough to make waves in the campus.
Several of his classmates were her fans.
Gong Sirui’s expression shifted, pulling Yan Yuexian behind him in a protective stance.
"Why are you here?"
He rembered Yan Yuexian ntioning having a grudge with Xia Weibao.
Xia Weibao crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow silently; this man held animosity toward her.
Yan Yuexian felt even more awkward, tugging Gong Sirui’s sleeve, "Brother Rui, she is..."
