Xiao Ruoyan's luggage was at Xu Xiu's house. She returned to Jincheng late at night, so Xu Xiu let her stay in the guest room, as he still needed to take photos in the next few days.
He even said he would personally take them to Hangzhou University in a few days. Surprisingly, Xiao Ruoyan did not refuse this time, but her eyes dimmed considerably.
Although Xu Xiu saw it all, he didn't want to tell her right now. In other people's eyes, Xu Xiu's behavior at this moment was that of a scumbag!
When Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi got home, it was about the same time. As soon as they met, Wang Mengqi pulled Xiao Ruoyan aside and asked her questions.
"Ruoyan didn't do anything out of line last night, did he?"
"Ah...no, I even asked him if we were sleeping in the room together tonight, but he refused."
Wang Mengqi was speechless when she heard Xiao Ruoyan's words. Luckily it was Xu Xiu; what if it had been someone else?
This silly girl is so unsuspecting! Little did Wang Mengqi know that Xiao Ruoyan wouldn't have gone back with other boys if it weren't for Xu Xiu.
In her heart, Xu Xiu held the same position as her mother and grandfather.
After the four met, they discussed how to divide the work and take care of Ruoxiu and Fanmeng after they went to university.
Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi felt that the three of them were not the problem; the main issue was that Xu Xiu was going to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, which were far away, and he was their pillar of support.
Xu Xiu kept her in suspense, saying he would handle the matter. Whenever the topic of college came up, Xiao Ruoyan looked melancholy, as these few days might be the only time she could spend with him this year.
Because there was a lot of filming and post-production work these past few days, and his parents weren't home, Xu Xiu asked a few people to bring some changes of clothes and come stay with him.
With plenty of rooms available, Ning Bufan decided to stay in Xu Xiu's room. The two of them would be working on photos and videos that night, while Xiao Ruoyan and Wang Mengqi slept in the guest room together.
Xu Xiu cooked all the meals, and Xiao Ruoyan took Wang Mengqi to buy groceries every day. Ning Bufan was assigned to clean, since he couldn't cook or buy groceries.
They can only do physical labor. Over the past few days, the four of them have gotten along better and better. Seeing each other often and living together are two completely different things.
Overall, the four of them got along quite well and no unpleasant incidents occurred.
As time went by, the popularity of Ruoxiu Fanmeng on various platforms increased, and Xu Xiu and his friends were no longer just posting about outfits.
They've already started adding some scenario-based plots and such; Xu Xiu has gradually begun working on the content that was wildly popular on the internet in his previous life.
The book contains various inspirational quotes about life, as well as music recommendations, and the comedic storylines he and Ning Bufan portray, making Ruoxiu's mortal dream less monotonous.
It began to attract people of all ages, and many businesses approached him, but Xu Xiu politely declined them all.
His main goal now is to help his parents' factory come to the forefront and build a brand. He plans to do other things once his parents' factory is stable.
There's still time. The peak period for internet celebrity traffic hasn't arrived yet, and everyone will be busy with their studies soon as they start university.
He'll meticulously refine and nurture the account first, prioritizing quality over quantity; he wants to create an IP that will endure.
However, despite saying that, Xu Xiu had already had Xu Tinglong register all the trademarks related to Ruoxiu Fanmeng, and also registered some of the hot words for the future.
In addition, he had his father register an internet technology company called Ruoxiu Internet Technology Co., Ltd.
Only Xu Xiu's family knew about this; Xiao Ruoyan and the others were unaware that Xu Xiu had already registered a company.
In the few days since the start of the school term, Xu Xiu took some time to take his driving test (Part 3) and successfully obtained his driver's license before the start of the semester.
The day before school started, Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi went home to pack their luggage. Xiao Ruoyan didn't need to pack her luggage; frankly, there wasn't much to pack anyway.
While other college students bring lots of packages and luggage, Xiao Ruoyan only had one suitcase, an old-fashioned leather one that was heavy and didn't have wheels.
Some college students travel light because they can buy many things directly, except for the necessities.
Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi didn't have much luggage either, just a suitcase and a large backpack. The four of them got up at 5 a.m. on the first day of school.
But when everyone noticed that Xu Xiu also had luggage, they asked in confusion, "Xu Xiu, isn't Tsinghua University starting today? Why are you carrying luggage?"
"I'll leave early after dropping you off, and I won't be coming back."
Xu Xiu spoke without batting an eye.
Everyone agreed that it made sense; the two schools only started two days apart, so there was no need to rush back and forth.
Without giving it much thought, Xu Xiu somehow managed to get his hands on a seven-seater van.
Ning Bufan's first reaction was to not dare get in the car. He looked at Xu Xiu and asked weakly, "Old Xu, you just got your driver's license, why is this car so big...?"
Wang Mengqi was also a little worried, after all, Xu Xiu had only had his driver's license for a few days and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it yet.
As a result, Xiao Ruoyan had already started moving luggage with Xu Xiu. After they finished moving, she sat directly in the passenger seat. She actually wanted to spend more time with Xu Xiu.
Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and got into the car to sit in the most comfortable second row.
After getting in the car, Ning Bufan asked Xiao Ruoyan in the passenger seat if she wanted to switch seats with him. The second row was more comfortable, and he could sit in the passenger seat since there was a lot of luggage for the four of them.
So the chairs in the third row were already reclined, and Xiao Ruoyan replied that it wasn't necessary, saying she wanted to see the scenery along the way.
Ning Bufan had already given Xiao Ruoyan a thumbs up in his heart; the passenger seat was arguably the most dangerous position.
Wang Mengqi felt that Xiao Ruoyan had been absent-minded lately, as if she had something on her mind.
Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi originally had their own preferred schools, but after the scores were released, they just barely met the cutoff score for Hangzhou University, which would have been a bit of a stretch for them to get in.
They consulted with Xu Xiu because of Ruoxiu Fanmeng, and they also wanted to be with Xiao Ruoyan. Wang Mengqi was also worried that if she and Ruoyan were not in the same school, what would happen if she was bullied?
Xu Xiu couldn't be happier that they all went to Hangzhou University together. He was going anyway, and it would be perfect if they could all be in the same school again, even though they chose different majors.
It would be convenient to meet at the same school, so he called the teacher in charge of admissions. The school took it very seriously, and since his score was high enough, the school leaders agreed.
This request wasn't too unreasonable. After Xu Xiu achieved the top score in the college entrance examination, his hometown, Shixian County, awarded him 100,000 yuan in cash, and Jincheng High School also awarded him tens of thousands of yuan.
For those few days, the homeroom teacher, Li Hansong, couldn't stop smiling, and he even gave out bonuses as the homeroom teacher.
After everyone was seated, Xu Xiu very politely helped Xiao Ruoyan fasten her seatbelt, but in Ning Bufan's eyes, this was a sign of Xu Xiu's insecurity.
Seeing this, Ning Bufan carefully pulled out the seatbelt next to the seat, feeling a little uneasy.
Wang Mengqi was much more casual, simply reclining the chair and preparing to take a nap.
After starting the car, it headed towards the highway entrance. Ning Bufan went from being uneasy at first to falling asleep in a daze, mainly because Lao Xu drove so steadily.
Even experienced drivers with less than ten years of driving experience can't drive this smoothly.
