A few days later—

Liangzhen University, at the entrance of the administration building.

Luo Xi was dressed in a black casual outfit, her hair still neatly combed into a ponytail.

He stood coolly by the fountain, waiting for people, with his suitcase at his feet.

Students passing by unconsciously turned their gazes to her, staring at her intently.

This girl is so cool, I've never seen her before.

The glass door was pushed open from the inside, and Gong Ning, wearing a blue silk dress, walked out, holding a leave cancellation slip in her hand.

Her long, curly, and smooth black hair cascaded down her back, playfully fluttering in the gentle breeze.

When Gong Ning stood there without getting angry, she exuded a refined and tranquil charm, as if surrounded by a subtle, elegant, and scholarly aura.

Unknowingly, they became a conspicuous presence in the crowd.

A murmur rippled through the crowd, and students passing by involuntarily stopped in their tracks.

Looking at that slender figure in dark blue not far away.

Their gazes were filled with curiosity and amazement.

Liangda is not without beautiful women, but it is rare to find someone as beautiful as Gong Ning, not to mention her gentle and classical temperament.

Many people took photos of Gong Ning with their phones and posted them on the campus forum.

It happened during recess, and it immediately caused quite a stir.

"Who is this? I've never seen him before."

"So beautiful, her aura is amazing!"

"Holy crap, when did such a stunning beauty arrive at Liangda University?"

"Judging by his appearance, he doesn't seem very old. Is he a freshman? I didn't see him when school started."

...

Luo Xi pulled her suitcase toward Gong Ning, took the leave slip from her hand, and said gently, "Miss, please go to the dormitory first. The bed is all ready!"

Gong Ning hummed in agreement and followed Luo Xi toward the dormitory.

Sigh, Luo Xi is recognizing the way.

She was in a coma for nearly two months after that banquet, missing the start of the semester at Liangda University.

The admission notice had been sent to Luo Xi, and Yan Jingzhou had completely blocked the news of Gong Ning's coma.

Luo Xi couldn't find anything, and no one answered when she called Gong Ning.

Unable to contact her, Luo Xi was worried and anxious, so she went to the school to register for enrollment on Gong Ning's behalf and asked for leave.

When Gong Ning woke up, it was already half a month after the start of the semester at Liang University.

She quietly went to Yan Jingzhou's bedroom and had A Lin expel the accumulated coldness from his body.

He then called Luo Xi and rushed to Liangzhen University before Yan Jingzhou woke up.

Thinking of him...

Gong Ning pursed her lips slightly, tightened her grip on the shoulder straps of her backpack, and looked down with a complicated expression in her eyes.

It's been several days, he should be awake by now, right?

What are you doing now?

He must be handling official business. After all, he had been in a coma for so long and had just taken over the Yan clan, so he must be extremely busy.

Gong Ning's already not-so-good mood gradually turned somewhat depressed.

Luo Xi turned around and looked at Gong Ning, who had stopped walking for a long time, and stood silently not far away waiting.

She could sense that the young lady hadn't been in a good mood these past few days.

The school bell rang, and Gong Ning suddenly looked up, realizing that she had been standing there in a daze for some time.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped closer to Luo Xi. "Let's go!"

Luo Xi's usually serious and rigid face twitched slightly, and she forced a very stiff smile.

With a stiff upward curve to her lips, she said, "Miss, congratulations on getting into a top university!"

"Okay, thank you, Luo Luo!"

Gong Ning smiled, stared at Luo Xi's face for a moment, and hesitated before speaking.

After taking a few steps forward, she couldn't help but pull Luo Xi back, and tentatively asked, "Luo Luo, is your face a little uncomfortable?"

Luo Xi frowned slightly in confusion, "Hmm? No!"

Gong Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I thought your face was cramping. It's good that you're alright!"

Luo Xi: "......."
