H City, No.1 Middle School.

The first and second year high school students haven't started their summer vacation yet.

They noticed that many vehicles from other provinces were parked on the roadside near the school gate today.

Everywhere on campus, you can see people carrying briefcases, making phone calls, and rushing to the principal's office.

The principal's office was already packed with people.

The office was packed with admissions officers from dozens of universities.

Even though Yuan Heng had been the principal for so many years, this was the first time he had ever seen such a large-scale event. Even Lao Ma was called over to help take care of things.

The dean of students finally managed to find a moment to spare, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and asked in a low voice, "Old Ma, has Shi Miao arrived yet?"

Old Ma was also exhausted. He waved his hand and said with a dry mouth, "They're not here yet."

Yuan Heng looked up at the huge group of people in the corridor outside, his temples throbbing. "Quickly call and ask, we can't possibly receive them all, one group leaves and another comes."

Old Ma coughed dryly, touched the bridge of his nose, and said awkwardly, "I just called, but no one answered."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Heng shook his head helplessly, unscrewed the lid of his cup, and took a sip of tea.

He suddenly remembered something, looked up at the two people opposite him, and asked, "I don't think I've met any people from Tsinghua University among the dozen or so institutions I've hosted. What about you?"

Upon hearing this, the head of the teaching department and Old Ma exchanged glances and then said in unison, "No."

Yuan Heng frowned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "That's strange. Aren't they afraid that Shi Miao will be snatched up by those prestigious universities like Peking University?"

......

Peach Blossom Village.

Before coming to H City, the three members of Tsinghua University had contacted Shi Miao. Huo Yudong had even booked a private room in Peach Blossom Village in advance and arranged to meet them there.

At this moment, Huo Yudong was pacing back and forth in the private room, frequently glancing towards the door.

"Professor Huo, stop pacing around. It's making me dizzy. This person isn't going to run away." Shen Yan straightened his shirt collar and teased, trying to appear calm.

Li Wenlin picked up his teacup, skimmed off the foam, and said with a smile, "Professor Shen is right. It's not time yet, so please sit down and rest for a while."

Huo Yudong coughed lightly, pulled out a chair and sat down, looking up at Shen Yan beside him, "Wasn't that your bad idea to ask her out alone? What if Shi Miao had gone to school first?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the door to the private room creaked open.

A tall, slender figure walked in unhurriedly.

The girl was wearing a simple black t-shirt, and her long black hair was tied in a high ponytail. She looked both beautiful and cool.

The three of them looked at the girl who walked in, and their eyes lit up in unison.

Huo Yudong couldn't wait to speak first: "Shi Miao, you're here."

Shi Miao nodded, pulled out a chair, sat down, and gave a soft "hmm".

Shen Yan poured her a cup of tea and said with a smile in his eyes, "By the way, let me introduce you. This is the president of Tsinghua University."

Li Wenlin looked at her with a kind expression and said with a smile, "Hello, Shi Miao. I am the president of Tsinghua University. My surname is Li. You can just call me President Li."

Shi Miao raised her clear eyes and looked at the president of Tsinghua University opposite her. "Hello, President Li."

Knowing the purpose of his trip, Li Wenlin didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "We've come to confirm with you that your intentions haven't changed, have they?"

Shen Yan and Huo Yudong, who were standing to the side, were also looking at her with tense expressions.

Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, her fair face showing a wild expression, and said in a clear tone, "No, I won't change my mind. My first choice is Tsinghua University."

Upon hearing this, Li Wenlin breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes and brows beaming with undisguised joy. "Alright, alright, we're relieved to hear that."

Huo Yudong smiled and nodded: "Alright, now everyone's happy. Let's order first and chat while we eat."

......

Lanting Apartment.

Ji Yanchen sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, a laptop propped on his lap, his slender fingers typing on the keyboard.

Just then, there were two knocks on the door.

Ji Yanchen stopped what he was doing, pinched the bridge of his nose, then put down his computer and stood up to open the door.

Xie Sizhou walked in, followed by Ye Chuan and Ji Sinian.

He looked around and asked, "Brother Chen, where's your wife?"

"We went out to eat."

Xie Sizhou touched the bridge of his nose. "Ah, we were thinking of coming here to freeload a meal."

Ji Yanchen picked up his laptop from the coffee table again, raising an eyebrow. "Can't you guys go out to eat?"

Ye Chuan walked to the sofa, sat down, took out his phone and said, "Brother Chen, I don't think you've eaten yet, let me order some takeout."

Ji Sinian rubbed his stomach and muttered, "Hurry up, I'm starving."

"Uncle, who did Sister Miao go out to eat with?"

Ji Yanchen's beautiful eyes were half-closed, the deep corners of his eyes revealing a hint of laziness, and his tone was soothing and deep: "President of Tsinghua University."

Ji Sinian stroked his chin and said, "Sister Miao really has the presence."

Xie Sizhou took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, opened the can with one hand, and took a sip.

"Brother Chen, can you take me with you when you go to M Continent in a few days?"

"I want one too, I want one too."

Ji Yanchen lazily raised his half-closed eyes slightly to look at Ye Chuan, "You said it?"

Ye Chuan coughed lightly, lowered his head, and said awkwardly, "I thought Lao Xie knew."

Ji Yanchen casually withdrew his gaze and said in a calm voice, "Whatever you want."

......

After finishing her meal, Shi Miao was about to take a taxi back to Lanting Apartment when she received a call from Qin Xiao, asking her to meet up.

Qin Xiao rubbed his hair, lowered his eyes, and hesitated before saying, "Shi Xiaomiao... I..."

Shi Miao leaned back in her chair, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, and asked lazily, "What's wrong?"

"What happened on Weibo..."

Shi Miao casually picked up a cold drink from the table, took a sip, and said in a calm tone, "Are you here to plead for Qin Mingyue?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao looked up at her, his eyes filled with deep remorse, and said softly, "You knew everything?"

Shi Miao bit her straw, raised the corner of her eye, and said casually, "Yeah, don't worry, I won't do anything to her."

Qin Xiao pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I'm not pleading for her. I just never expected her to do something like this. She probably stole your exam admission number from my phone yesterday. Thinking about that makes me feel really bad for you. If I hadn't asked you for your admission number, none of this mess would have happened. If she does anything to you again in the future, you don't have to consider my feelings... just deal with it as you see fit."

A warm glint appeared in Shi Miao's eyes, and she clicked her tongue, "Alright, alright. Who are you trying to fool with that miserable look on your face?"

Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and retorted, "Damn, how can my handsome face look bad?"

He then hummed softly, his voice noticeably more cheerful.
