"It's time to board," the parents urged, none of them mentioning the ring they had seen.

"I'm leaving now." He gave Zhen Tian one last hug.

Her fingers were clenched tightly on his shirt, and the moment he released her, she let her hands fall limply as if she had suddenly lost all strength.

"Bon Voyage."

After the parents finished speaking, Ji Yuzhi turned and left.

Zhen Tian seemed to disappear without a trace on the way back with the parents.

…………

Given Ji Yuzhi's grades, going to Beijing Foreign Studies University is definitely a steal for the university.

Although Capital University of Foreign Studies is the best foreign language university in the country, it only ranks eighth in the national university rankings.

Therefore, the principal was overjoyed that Ji Yuzhi rejected the top-ranked Tsinghua and Peking Universities and came to their university instead.

When he arrived at the school, unlike other students who had senior students help him with the enrollment procedures, he was welcomed in by the principal and his enrollment procedures were handled personally by the Party Secretary.

At universities, the president is not always on campus.

This time, he specifically waited for Ji Yuzhi's arrival at the school. Ji Yuzhi followed the principal and the college secretary to familiarize himself with the campus.

The principal even made a special application to waive Ji Yuzhi's tuition and dormitory fees for four years. Although the treatment offered by the Capital Foreign Language School was far lower than that of other schools that were vying for Ji Yuzhi's place, Ji Yuzhi was not someone they had won over with their treatment, so the principal could only do his best to provide him with the best conditions.

"Student Ji, although the conditions our school offers you are not quite as good as other schools, our school's campus environment and dormitory conditions are absolutely top-notch in the country."

As they talked, the group arrived at the dormitory.

The principal spoke again: "I heard that the school initially arranged a four-person dormitory for you. If you need, I can vacate a single apartment for you in the doctoral student dormitory area."

"No need to trouble yourself." He didn't have any requirements for the dormitory, and it didn't matter whether he had roommates or not, since he was planning to buy a house in S City.

"Alright, alright. If you need anything, just contact your college's Party Secretary." The principal patted him on the shoulder: "Our school has always cherished outstanding talents like you."

"You must be tired after the journey. Go up and get some rest. I wish you a wonderful college life in advance."

"Thank you, Principal. Thank you, teachers. I'll take my leave now."

Ji Yuzhi listened to the principal talk the whole way, but his mind wasn't on it.

He was very worried about his child at home and couldn't resist the urge to call.

Watching Ji Yuzhi's departing figure, the principal shook his head.

"What's wrong?" the secretary asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, I was just remarking that this child is destined for great things." The principal suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "I never thought that during my tenure, we would be able to make our Capital Foreign Language School famous throughout the world."

Ji Yuzhi walked hurriedly, his phone burning hot in his hand.

As he walked back, he dialed Zhen Tian's number.

The phone rang for a long time without being answered. Ji Yuzhi stopped in his tracks, hung up, and dialed again.

His refined and handsome appearance caused the girls passing by to turn their heads, and some even exclaimed that this was the first time they had ever seen such a handsome young man.

The call was finally answered on the third attempt.

"Zhizhi!" Zhen Tian's excited voice came over, and Ji Yuzhi finally felt relieved and slowly walked into the dormitory building.

"It's me," he replied in a low voice. "I've arrived at school."

"How's school? Is it fun?"

Zhen Tian sat on the floor in the corner of the bathroom, her eyes red and swollen, one hand still wiping away tears from her cheek.

"Not bad. What's wrong with your voice?" Ji Yuzhi noticed that Zhen Tian's voice was hoarse and nasal. "Did you catch a cold?"

Zhen Tian sniffed and smiled, "Yeah, I was reading comics in the shower last night and didn't even realize the water got cold. I caught a bit of a chill."

She was lying through her teeth; if Ji Yuzhi saw her like this, he would be heartbroken.

"You'll get into trouble if I don't keep an eye on you for a day." Ji Yuzhi scolded her helplessly, "Did you take your medicine?"

"I've eaten, I've eaten, oh dear, please don't scold me anymore~" she said coquettishly, but she was hiding behind her phone wiping away her tears.

"You really ate it?"

"You still doubt me!" Zhen Tian snorted.

"Okay, okay, I won't doubt you." Ji Yuzhi chuckled, standing at the dormitory door, looking out the window, as if he could see Zhen Tian's smiling face through the night: "Be good, don't mess around, don't get sick. Don't make me worry, okay?"

"I know." Zhen Tian sniffed again, tears streaming down her face, which she could barely contain, but she still couldn't bear to hang up the phone.

Have you had dinner yet?

"Not yet, I'll eat in a bit. Mom's making it." Actually, she hadn't eaten; she had no appetite at all.

"You have class tomorrow, so get some rest. Remember what I said when I left."

"Remember."

"Be good."

"I know." Zhen Tian smiled. "You're so long-winded."

"Okay~ I won't nag you anymore." Ji Yuzhi smiled. "Go eat, and get a good night's sleep afterward. Goodnight."

"I know, you must eat on time too, don't worry about me. Zhizhi." Zhen Tian's face was covered in tears, but she still maintained her usual voice: "Good night."

Ji Yuzhi stood by the window, hesitant to move. He had only just left and already felt a pang of longing. He felt he probably couldn't bear it for much longer.

After chuckling to himself, Ji Yuzhi put away his phone and pushed open the dormitory door.

The other three boys in the dormitory had already arrived, and everyone was busy at their seats, some even lying on their beds making up their blankets.

Upon hearing the door open, the three of them stopped moving at the same time, as if they had agreed beforehand.

Ji Yuzhi raised an eyebrow, letting the three people sized him up.

"Are you Ji Yuzhi?" the boy who was making the bed asked.

"yes."

"Holy crap, holy crap!" the boy exclaimed in surprise. "So there really are such unfair things in this world, you really do look like this!"

He couldn't help but look at Ji Yuzhi again.

"I thought you photoshopped the picture."

Ji Yuzhi remained expressionless.

The boy hanging clothes below put down what he was holding and said with a smile, "We've been waiting for you for a long time. It's an honor to meet you. I'm Feng Li."

"Hello, Ji Yuzhi." The two hands, which had just touched, separated.

The boy who had been somewhat silent also stepped forward: "You are very strong. I am Zhao Zeyuan."

"Hello."

"Hey, hey, hey, me too." The boy who was spreading out his blankets jumped down from the top bunk: "I'm Zheng An, and I'll be proud to be a big fan of our national champion from now on."

Ji Yuzhi smiled slightly: "Please guide me in the future."
