"This... I can't make that decision... I'm sorry." Qin Junlin thought to himself, isn't this crazy? How can someone be so blunt? If she said she was interested in the boss and wanted to add him on WeChat, Qin would give it to her without hesitation. He was bound by military discipline and couldn't be as carefree as before, but as for the boss, Qin Junlin felt he had no right to stop his romantic luck.
Disappointed, the girl left. While waiting for her teacher to emerge from the tomb, she would occasionally glance in the direction Xu Chen had gone, thinking, "I will find you." At this moment, a morbid obsession was taking hold of her.
The girl's name was Chen Jing. She was a top student at Renmin University. She was once full of vigor and longing for Beijing. She stepped into this enchanting city, and her hometown elders were proud of her. Her life was incredibly bright after the college entrance examination and before she entered Beijing. This situation ended when she met someone.
"Let go. You can't win against him. You can't give him the life he wants. Or rather, you don't even know what kind of life he wants."
"He's clearly my boyfriend! You bitch!"
"Further discussion is pointless."
"Don't go! Give him back to me!"
The scenes from that day were etched into Chen Jing's very being. From then on, she became lost and utterly confused, but she didn't give up her studies. She understood that this was her last bastion, her last vestige of dignity. Unsurprisingly, she became two-faced. On the surface, she studied diligently, and her professor had already regarded her as his successor, encouraging her to pursue her master's degree. In secret, she couldn't escape the pain of losing her love, often grieving alone at night or drowning her sorrows in bars. Should the poor be trampled on so easily? Is the love of the poor so fragile? These thoughts kept nagging at her. Gradually, she became pathological. She constantly fantasized that if one day she could turn her life around, she would make those two scoundrels pay. Xu Chen gave her hope, or rather, Xu Chen was the perfect helper in her eyes—young and powerful, able to help her manipulate that rich heiress, and even the family behind her should be no problem.
At this moment, Xu Chen was unaware that he was being targeted by a yandere. He returned to the small villa, just before dawn. Xu Chen rushed into the bedroom, and Wang Li was startled to see him.
"Ah, Chenchen, it's you." Wang Li was surprised, then said in an annoyed tone, "You didn't come home again last night. Tell me, are you planning to elope with your senior?"
"Lili, your cultivation matter has been settled."
"Huh? Ah! What happened?"
Xu Chen recounted the events in detail, and Wang Li felt as if she were listening to a storyteller telling a fantasy cultivation tale. Curious, she asked, "So, that small world can slow down time?"
"Yes, ah, Lili, you really didn't lose your memory." Xu Chen realized.
Wang Li said awkwardly, "You'll have to ask your good senior then."
"Get up, go check it out after class."
Wang Li nodded, secretly wondering as she dressed, "Am I really going to become an immortal? Am I dreaming?" She patted her face, as if everything was unreal, but Xu Chen standing beside her and the smooth touch of his skin told her that she was no longer the Wang Li she used to be.
"Lili, this time, we will definitely succeed."
"Xu Chen, after breaking through the shackles, will I be able to fly like you?"
"Um... not yet. It's okay, I'll take care of everything. Whenever you want to fly, your husband will take you flying."
After finishing breakfast, the two took a walk to school together. Wang Li sighed after closing the gate.
"Chenchen, it's a good thing you rented this house, otherwise we wouldn't be able to relax like this. But speaking of which, we've been living here for so long, have you paid the rent?"
Xu Chen's expression froze, and he said with an awkward smile, "Lili, why bring this up?"
"Regardless of whether it was approved by Mr. Tang or not, we still have to pay the rent. Here's what we'll do: send me Tang Xue's WeChat ID, and I'll transfer the money."
Xu Chen nodded, took out his phone, opened WeChat, and sent the message. Then he asked curiously, "Lili, why did you suddenly bring up the rent?"
“I only realized last night that not a single penny had been touched from my card. Chenchen, you’re always the one bearing the burden. This isn’t right.”
Xu Chen hugged her and said gently, "Okay, from now on, we'll face this together."
The moment Xu Chen turned off his phone, he received a message from Qin Ziyue, and Wang Li came over to check it out out of curiosity.
"This is... traditional Chinese medicine?"
"To be precise, this is a prescription, Lili. Do you remember the youth-preserving pill I gave you?"
"I remember! Could it be... Ah, Chenchen, what are you thinking?"
"Yes, we've finally come all this way to Earth, how can we not make a few dozen small fortunes?" This sentence was transmitted through spiritual power.
"Look how arrogant you are. Come on, class is about to start."
The two quickened their pace and headed towards the school.
"Have you seen this person before?" Meanwhile, a young girl began asking passersby on the streets of Beijing if they had seen Xu Chen. Her phone displayed a profile picture of him; whether intentionally or coincidentally, she hadn't included the saluting military personnel in the photo. Otherwise, she would have been reported and arrested before she even finished asking the third person. To her disappointment, the passersby all said they hadn't seen him. She considered hiring a private investigator, but she was just a poor student.
Just as she was at her wit's end and the sun was about to set, a miracle appeared before her eyes. A girl who looked like a student came over to look at the photo out of curiosity when she asked a passerby, and then seemed to have thought of something.
Are you looking for Xu Chen?
"His name is Xu Chen? Oh right, I'm looking for him."
"You don't know him?"
"I don't know him, but I've seen him before."
"You like him? Want to pursue him? I advise you to give up on that idea. My friends at Peking University also thought about pursuing him, but he already has a girlfriend."
Thank you, goodbye.
The girl watched Chen Jing walk away with a puzzled look. "Wasn't she looking for Xu Chen? Why didn't she ask more questions? I haven't even told her where Xu Chen is yet."
Chen Jing received two important pieces of information: "Xu Chen, Peking University. You're actually a student? But you're also... such a mysterious man, it really makes me curious about you."
After that, Chen Jing would run to Peking University as soon as get out of class ended, both on campus and on the streets outside the school.
"No, no, if he has a girlfriend, I can't show up in front of her. I can't be a bastard who ruins other people's relationships. So if he helps me get revenge, I'll just agree to be his mistress. That'll be enough. It won't affect his relationship at all." On the street outside Peking University, Chen Jing watched Xu Chen and Wang Li leave the campus, chatting and laughing, and thought to herself.
