Under the dim, gloomy light, Mingzhuo stood alone in the snow.

Her expression was strange, and Gu Xu's heart stirred slightly. He quickly walked over.

"Ugh—" Just as Mingzhuo was about to vomit, Gu Xu pulled her into his arms.

A gentle and clean aura enveloped her, as crisp as snow and as soft as the spring breeze in March, filling her nostrils with a refreshing scent.

Mingzhuo finally stopped vomiting, leaned on Gu Xu's shoulder, and fainted.

——

Later everyone learned that the heavy snow that day was a once-in-a-century event.

Snowstorms have occurred in various places, but fortunately, no one has been killed.

The government organized disaster relief efforts, and the public also launched donation drives. The Gu Group and the Xu Group donated a large sum of money for the reconstruction of the disaster area.

The Lee Group followed suit.

At the end of the semester, Mingzhuo, who had disappeared for several months, returned to school to take the exam.

Everyone advised her not to push herself and to get some rest.

But Mingzhuo was very insistent. How could she not take the final exam? You have to understand that universities use a credit system. If she didn't take the exam, where would she get the credits, and how would she graduate smoothly?

She is determined to get a university degree! And she wants to get an even higher degree.

She has a strange obsession with this, and no amount of persuasion can change it.

Finally, Gu Xu accompanied her to the capital to take the exam and then return.

A few days later, the exam results came out, and Mingzhuo still ranked first in the class and won a scholarship.

On the day he received the notification, Mingzhuo was still in a deep sleep.

Wu Jiao brought people from the Xuanmen sect to visit, intending to take advantage of the New Year celebrations and various Taoist rituals to transfer power to Mingzhuo.
