The fifth day of National Day.

This short holiday is coming to an end.

Lin Xun decided to go back to school early.

This time, Su Qingshi was with him.

She had finished her internship and had plenty of free time left, so she decided to go back to Nanjing University with Lin Xun.

After packing their things, the two said goodbye to Gu Yanyan, who had seen them off.

Nancheng, Nanda.

On the first day back to school, a few students were running around on the playground.

On the track, a petite figure was running at a slow pace.

She wore a ponytail and a sports uniform, with her arms and legs below the knees exposed to the air. Her skin was not tanned by the scorching sun, but rather fair and delicate, making her stand out.

"Hey, who's that girl? I've never seen her before."

Beside the track, two boys were stretching, their eyes also drawn to the girl, and they started chatting.

"Who knows? But with that kind of looks, she should be the most beautiful girl in the department, right? She shouldn't be so unknown." Boy B shook his head, also somewhat puzzled.

"She just got back from vacation and she's already running on the track. Do you think she has something on her mind? Or is she single? Does she not have a boyfriend?" Boy A asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, the second boy smiled and said, "I think it's the latter. Why don't you go over and ask her if you can add her on WeChat?"

Boy A was clearly tempted: "She's my type, but this kind of girl is probably not someone I can handle. Hey, if she's even a little bit pretty, she's not someone a loser like me can date."

"Yeah, just look at Senior Su. Such a beautiful girl, and Lin Xun actually won her over. She's the undisputed campus belle of Nanjing University!" said the second male student with a complicated expression.

Thinking of that goddess, both of them showed a complicated expression, but when they thought that the goddess was already taken, they felt a little regretful.

"Excuse me, is the Senior Su you're talking about a senior in her fourth year?" A voice suddenly came from behind.

The two boys paused for a moment, then turned around to look.

Suddenly, a handsome young man in a white short-sleeved shirt appeared behind them.

"Who are you?" Boy A asked, looking at him with confusion.

“Xiao Yi, a freshman,” the boy replied.

Upon hearing this, the two understood.

"Oh, so you're a freshman. It's normal that you didn't know, because Senior Su is actually a senior. She hasn't come to school this semester, so you probably won't see her again," said the second male student casually.

Xiao Yi asked with some confusion, "Is this Senior Su really that beautiful? But why are there so many rumors about her at school, yet no photos of her?"

Because Su Qingshi was already a senior in college, she gradually faded from public view, so all traces of her at school were gradually erased, especially the photos. Lin Xun had specifically asked the principal to handle them, because even if her deeds were used to set an example, photos could not be used.

So although there are rumors about Su Qingshi at school, most people who have seen her are sophomores or above. Freshmen rarely see her photos, let alone her in person.

Through the two boys' accounts, Xiao Yi gradually learned about the matter.

"Hey hey hey! That girl is coming over!" Suddenly, boy B excitedly tugged at boy A's arm.

The boy, let's call him A, glanced over instinctively, and the next second he couldn't help but tense up.

Then the girl actually walked over here.

"Your chance has come, go and confess your feelings!" Boy B urged.

Boy A chickened out at this point. He didn't even have the courage to look at the girl, let alone confess his feelings.

Xiao Yi simply watched the scene unfold without saying anything, though his gaze remained fixed on the girl.

Soon, the girl walked over, but under the wide-eyed gaze of the two boys, she stopped in front of Xiao Yi.

Her beautiful eyebrows arched slightly: "Xiao Yi? What brings you here?"

Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "I heard you were in a bad mood, so I came to see you."

His previous coldness had vanished, replaced by a gentler tone.

The girl pouted resentfully: "Did my parents tip you off again?"

Xiao Yi said calmly, "The Xiao family and the Su family are old friends, and you and I are from the same university. If you have something to do, Uncle Su will naturally come to me. But Su Ruanruan, is it not a good idea for you to quarrel with your family like this?"

Su Ruanruan.

The freshman campus belle, whose fame rivals that of Gu Ziyue.

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, she rolled her eyes: "This is my own business, you don't need to worry about it. Also, don't try to get close to me again by taking advantage of the good relationship between our two families. I don't like you."

Xiao Yi's eyes flickered, and he said indifferently, "Whether you like it or not is up to you. I'm just doing what Auntie asked. If it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't bother with you."

Su Ruanruan glared at him, then ignored him and turned to leave.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Xiao Yi's eyes as he lifted his foot and followed.

The two boys were left staring at each other, the atmosphere awkward.

"This... seems to put us in a bit of an awkward situation."

"Be more confident, and remove the 'seems' part."

Neither of them expected that the boy had a relationship with that pretty girl, and that they were quite close. Could it be considered that they were plotting to steal her away right in front of him?

The two boys covered their faces and fled the scene.

"Hey, you just finished running, don't you want to relax your body?"

Seeing Su Ruanruan's pace quicken noticeably, Xiao Yi couldn't help but speak.

"None of your business!" Su Ruanruan replied coldly.

"Tsk!" Xiao Yi frowned.

At this moment, Su Ruanruan suddenly let out a soft cry. She bent over in pain, her hands covering her legs.

Xiao Yi's brows relaxed, a hint of schadenfreude in his voice: "See? It's not a cramp, is it?"

"Xiao Yi! How dare you make sarcastic remarks?!" Su Ruanruan gritted her teeth in pain, glaring angrily at Xiao Yi, who had a half-smile on his face.

"Heh, still throwing a tantrum, taking it out on the only person who could help you here. I really don't know what you're thinking." Xiao Yi smiled, but still squatted down in front of the girl and massaged her.

Under Xiao Yi's massage, Su Ruanruan finally felt somewhat recovered.

"Remember to stretch before you leave next time, otherwise you'll be sore the next day," Xiao Yi said casually.

"Thanks."

Su Ruanruan glanced at him somewhat reluctantly, her eyes filled with a slightly complicated expression.

Xiao Yi pretended not to see her gaze and said, "Alright, shall we go eat?"

"Um…"

Xiao Yi helped Su Ruanruan to her feet and was about to leave.

Suddenly, he saw something and stopped, his gaze becoming blank.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Su Ruanruan looked at him with a puzzled expression, then followed his gaze.

Upon seeing this, she was also shocked.
