Bai Yan is bound to a system and must unceasingly tread the path of courting death by opposing the protagonists, becoming a stepping stone in their lives, destined for a tragic end in every life.
In the video, Shen Yi is grinning like a fool, saying to everyone he sees, "This is my nephew!"
"Chen, have you decided which university you want to apply to?" the reporter asked.
Shen Mubai still had his brilliant blond hair, and his handsome face appeared more distant in front of the camera: "I don't plan to go to a university in China."
The reporter was taken aback for a moment, and Shen Mubai said, "The person I like is going to Y country."
The reporter's eyes lit up: "So, Mr. Shen, are you planning to go to Country Y for love?"
The top scorer in the college entrance examination, and such a handsome one at that! This interview has some highlights!
Shen Mubai blushed slightly. The reporter said with amusement, "Even top students fall in love early. I thought only us slackers would."
Shen Mubai corrected the reporter, saying, "I have never been a top student, and we did not have a relationship in our early years."
"Before I met her, I never knew which way to go. Someone told me that my birth was a mistake, that I was someone who was rejected and hated by others."
"But she told me that beautiful flowers can bloom even in barren soil."
Shen Mubai smiled. He wanted to see that beautiful flower, so his soil could no longer be as cold and barren as before.
"Ahhh! This guy is so handsome, I love him so much!"
"A blond, comic book-like man who's also a top student—the novel has come to life!"
"Alumni can attest that he was a complete academic failure and a school bully before..."
...
Shen Mubai's handsome face made this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination in G City go viral, and everyone who saw the interview changed their expressions.
Song Sisi stroked Shen Mubai's face in the camera lens. She knew that the person he was talking about must be Bai Yan.
Song Sisi couldn't help but feel jealous and resentful. Why did he fall in love with Bai Yan? She had confessed to him before.
If he hadn't rejected her, why would she have chosen Pei Xun?
But things are alright now... Pei Xun is the heir of the Pei family, that's what was destined, and college entrance exam scores don't represent everything.
The graduation banquet ended abruptly due to an unexpected interview.
When he got home, Pei's father looked extremely grim, and kicked his pet dog as soon as he entered the door.
"You wretched child!" He did so well on the exam and didn't even tell anyone; he, as the father, was the last to know.
How shameful!
Pei Xun's expression was also unpleasant. The illegitimate son, whom he had always disregarded, had actually surpassed him. To him, this was an utter disgrace!
Just then, Pei's father's phone rang. He calmed himself down and asked, "Old Zheng, what's up?"
"Mr. Pei, is your son the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination?" the person on the other end asked nervously.
Mr. Pei looked annoyed, but could only admit, "Yes, he was lucky."
"It's not that he's lucky, it's that you're lucky! The new tender documents from the company and the municipality haven't been issued yet, but after Secretary Wang heard that your son was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, he relented and said that his son will take the college entrance examination next year."
"President Pei, I've set the stage. Tomorrow, try to bring your top-scoring son along. This is a huge opportunity for us! This municipal tender alone could bring in at least 20 billion in profits!"
Pei's father: ...
She rushed to call Shen Mubai, only to find that the phone number had been cancelled long ago.
They then went to ask Shen Mubai's homeroom teacher for the phone number, and it took them twenty minutes to get through.
"Shen Mubai, you will accompany me to a cocktail party tomorrow." Pei's father said condescendingly, "Afterwards, I will change your surname to Pei and let you be recognized as a member of the family."
Pei Xun's breathing quickened as he stared at his father in disbelief.
How could Shen Mubai's illegitimate son be worthy of him?
A mocking laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Does the Pei family have a throne to inherit? What, is your surname so precious?"
Pei's father's face immediately changed, "Don't be ungrateful!"
Shen Mubai said, "My surname is Shen, and it will always be Shen."
"I don't have time to go to any parties with you tomorrow. I'm already on the plane, arriving in Y country tomorrow. Goodbye." After saying this, the phone call ended.
No matter how many times Pei's father dialed, he could not get through.
"Oh shit!"
"Grass!"
Pei's father was furious, but Pei Xun behind him breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he knew the Pei family might suffer huge financial losses, he didn't want to see Shen Mubai return.
...
Time flies, and four years will soon follow.
At the graduation party, the lights were dim, and men and women mingled on the dance floor.
The blond man, dressed in a white suit, was leaning back on the sofa. His skin was fair, and his face was perfectly shaped. With his eyes closed, his straight and delicate nose made him look like a prince in a painting under the party lights.
Just then, a blonde, blue-eyed bunny girl dressed in high heels walked by: "Hi, Chen~"
Shen Mubai slowly opened his eyes, his gaze cold as he looked at the woman before him.
The bunny girl tensed up. The man in front of her was a legend at school and even more so in the financial district. His keen investment acumen had brought him a fortune of hundreds of millions, and his handsome and deep features made him the object of countless people's desires.
“Chen, do you still remember me?” she said.
Shen Mubai glanced at her: "It's you."
The bunny girl had just started to smile when Shen Mubai said, "You are a student sponsored by Xiao Yan."
Thinking of Bai Yan, he couldn't help but smile. During his high school years, he was financially controlled by the Song family. But when he finally achieved financial freedom, Bai Yan also helped others by sponsoring many impoverished students.
A dark glint flashed in the bunny girl's eyes. She was much prettier and sexier than Bai Yan, but he had never looked at her when they were together.
"Yes, I am really grateful to Bai, and I am also very grateful to you all."
