When Wu Zhenyuan saw her suddenly smile, he assumed that she had taken his words to heart.

A moment later, his phone rang. It was Song Lan calling. He glanced at He Qiangwei instinctively, then walked over to answer the call.

"Hey~ what's up?"

"Old Wu, Wei Zhibin has reported the news. You should take a look."

"What news? Tell me!" Wu Zhenyuan was currently with He Qiangwei and had no time to read the news.

Song Lan's tone was somewhat hurried, "Wei Zhibin and Youyou's engagement has been announced, and the previous public opinion has been suppressed. Didn't you say you wouldn't announce it for the time being? Youyou is about to take the college entrance examination, and I'm afraid it will affect her!"

Wu Zhenyuan's eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Alright, I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Zhenyuan walked up to He Qiangwei apologetically and said, "Qiangwei, I have some business at the company and have to go first. I'll have two of them accompany you and help you carry your things. I've prepared an apartment for you near your school, and the bodyguards will take you there."

He Qiangwei was taken aback when she heard this. They had actually prepared an apartment for her. They were really thoughtful. She smiled and said, "Dad, you go and do your thing!"

After He Zhenyuan left, she headed to the fourth floor of the mall, where there was a famous hair salon. She planned to get her hair done without any visible blemishes.

Wu Youyou and her friends spent the entire afternoon studying diligently.

Shi Zhan's lectures were very clear and logical, which captivated Liu Xiaolan. Song Shaojie and Yang Min, the two academic underachievers, also listened with great interest. Wu Youyou, on the other hand, listened with ease and kept up with Shi Zhan's pace.

It was over very quickly!

"Is that all? I haven't had enough yet!" Liu Xiaolan said with a look of lingering enjoyment.

Although Yang Min and Song Shaojie were listening with great interest, they were still struggling. By this time, their heads were throbbing painfully. Yang Min rubbed her temples and pouted, saying, "Xiao Lan, please, don't be so tense. I've reached my limit. If I don't rest, my head will explode."

Song Shaojie nodded quickly, "That's right~ That's right~"

Looking at Yang Min and Song Shaojie's tired expressions, Liu Xiaolan said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was just saying. Besides, Shi Zhan needs to rest."

Seeing how seriously they were studying, Wu Youyou was inexplicably moved. She said, "Keep it up, everyone! After the third mock exam, there will only be a few days left until the college entrance exam. We will eventually part ways then, so let's cherish the time we have together to study!"

Wu Youyou's words instantly made everyone feel heavy-hearted. Yang Min sighed and said, "I'm going to take the entrance exam for drama school! It's destined that I won't go to the same university as you, but you are different, and you might get into the same university."

Liu Xiaolan hadn't considered which school she could get into yet. After thinking it over, she finally said, "Youyou, which school are you planning to apply to? I'll go with you!"

"Kyoto University, didn't I already say that?" Wu Youyou said casually.

"Still Peking University, huh?" Song Shaojie scoffed.

"What? You don't believe me!" Wu Youyou raised an eyebrow at him.

Seeing her confident expression, Song Shaojie said, "I'll believe you if you can defeat He Qiangwei!"

"Okay~ Then get ready to congratulate me next week!"

Shi Zhan kept staring at Wu Youyou. He was now certain that Wu Youyou's academic level was high enough to qualify her for admission to Peking University.

Liu Xiaolan looked embarrassed and said to Wu Youyou, "Youyou~ Peking University! I know my own limitations. I'm only good enough for a local university."

Wu Youyou held Liu Xiaolan's hands, stared into her eyes, and said very seriously, "Don't worry, just apply to Peking University. I believe you can definitely get in."

Liu Xiaolan's soul seemed to tremble at the sight of a surge of energy. Perhaps her confidence was infected by this power, for she looked at Wu Youyou absentmindedly and, for some reason, made up her mind and said, "Hmm~ I'll apply to Peking University. Like you said, what if my dream comes true?"

Song Shaojie and Yang Min stared wide-eyed at Liu Xiaolan, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

Shi Zhan checked the time again and said to everyone in a deep voice, "It's 6 p.m. now. You have two hours of rest time. Meet here at 8 p.m. tonight."

Everyone has gotten used to it.

Yang Min said, "Let's all go out for dinner together!"

"No need, you guys go ahead. Song Shaojie and I have some things to take care of."

Looking at Shi Zhan's calm and composed personality, Wu Youyou didn't know what to say. She just glanced at him a few more times and then said, "Then remember to eat something. We're leaving now."

"Um!"

Shi Zhan's gaze lingered on Wu Youyou's departing figure, his eyes filled with tenderness. Only after they had both left the classroom did he speak, "Did you bring that person?"

A confident glint appeared in Song Shaojie's eyes. He grinned wickedly and said, "Is there anything I can't handle? The person is already being held outside the school. I'll take you there right now!"

Shi Zhan and Song Shaojie quickly arrived at a secluded corner outside the school and saw a thin, bespectacled guy being guarded by two men who looked like spies.

Song Shaojie squinted and looked at him. "This guy looks like a cunning sly one."

Shi Zhan remained silent.

When the two men approached, the two agents, quite perceptive, bowed to them and said respectfully, "Young Master!"

Shi Zhan nodded, then looked at the thin man with glasses, his eyes flashing with cold light, and said in a cold voice, "You're the one who posted Wu Youyou's photos online and then deliberately spread rumors and caused trouble?"

The bespectacled man, seeing that Shi Zhan was just a high school student, wasn't so frightened and vehemently denied it, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about?"

Shi Zhan suddenly unleashed a strong killing intent; with just one glance, Song Shaojie felt a chill run down his spine.

Suddenly, Shi Zhan pulled out a dagger from somewhere and swiftly brought it down with lightning speed.

Before the bespectacled man could react, four fingers of his right hand fell to the ground.

Suddenly, the bespectacled man let out a terrible scream, fell to the ground clutching his right hand, and rolled around in pain.

Song Shaojie's eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Shi Zhan squatted down expressionlessly and gently tapped the bespectacled man's face a few times with the dagger he had just used. His tone was full of unassailable authority, "Tell me, did you make that statement?"

The bespectacled man could feel the boundless killing intent emanating from the young high school student in front of him, and his heart trembled involuntarily.

He was afraid that Shi Zhan would kill him.

So he quickly told the whole story in detail.

Shi Zhan then realized that the real mastermind behind all this was Shen Yi.

After getting the answer he wanted, Shi Zhan stood up and said coldly to the bespectacled man, "Take your claws and get lost!"

The bespectacled man quickly picked up his finger and rushed to the hospital.
