Not long after they got on the highway, snoring started coming from the back seat. Xu Xiu glanced at the two people in the back through the rearview mirror and shook his head helplessly.
He glanced at Xiao Ruoyan in the passenger seat and noticed that she was staring straight ahead, seemingly lost in thought.
"Xiao, why don't you take a nap too? I'll wake you up when it's time."
Xiao Ruoyan didn't speak, but just shook her head slightly as she looked at Xu Xiu, and then continued to look ahead.
At this moment, every blink of her eye felt like killing time; she just wanted to stay with him quietly like this.
Xu Xiu just smiled slightly, and then inexplicably started talking about embarrassing things that happened to him when he was a child. Xiao Ruoyan listened attentively from the side, occasionally smiling.
Time flies when you're with someone you like. Soon the car arrived near Hangzhou University in Hangzhou. Xu Xiu woke up the two people in the back who had fallen asleep as soon as they got in the car without saying a word.
Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi rubbed their eyes, feeling like they hadn't slept for long, and wondered how they had arrived.
After parking the car in a parking lot near the school, Xiao Ruoyan, who originally wanted to drive in directly, decided to walk in herself. Fortunately, the parking lot was nearby, and everyone didn't have much luggage.
Xiao Ruoyan placed her suitcase on top of Wang Mengqi's suitcase and pushed it along the way, while Xiao Ruoyan carried a very cartoonish backpack on her own.
When they got off the bus, no one noticed that Xu Xiu had brought his luggage with him. It wasn't until they reached the school gate that Ning Bufan was about to say goodbye to Xu Xiu, and was still thinking about what to say.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the luggage in Xu Xiu's hands, and he blurted out, "Old Xu, why did you take your luggage down?"
Upon hearing Ning Bufan's words, Xiao Ruoyan immediately turned around and stared blankly at Xu Xiu.
"Since you've discovered me, I won't pretend anymore. Hello, students of Hangzhou University. Please turn around and look at the banner on the school gate."
Everyone turned around and saw a banner hanging on the gate that read: "Warmly welcome Xu Xiu, a top scholar, invited by the university, to begin a new and wonderful chapter in your life!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw the words on the banner. Xiao Ruoyan couldn't control herself and threw herself into Xu Xiu's arms.
She burst into tears. The four of them walking at the school gate were already quite eye-catching; who wouldn't love to look at handsome men and beautiful women?
As a result, Xiao Ruoyan's crying and hugging made the four of them the focus of the entire scene. Xu Xiu awkwardly raised his hands without doing anything inappropriate.
After receiving her college entrance exam results, Xiao Ruoyan finally couldn't control the emotions she had been suppressing. She thought she wouldn't see him again this year.
She thought that after they separated, they would have less and less contact. She thought it would be like when they first met in junior high school, that they only met briefly and then separated for three years.
Luckily, we ran into each other later. If we hadn't gone to the same high school, we might never have seen each other again in this lifetime.
After venting her emotions, Xiao Ruoyan realized how incredibly embarrassing her actions were, while Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi beside her watched with expressions of amusement.
Both of them wanted to interrogate the two men immediately to find out what was going on.
Xiao Ruoyan quickly released Xu Xiu and retreated to a far distance. Her ears were bright red, and she felt both nervous and happy.
Anyway, she doesn't know how to describe her current feelings.
The students registering next to her were already attracted by Xiao Ruoyan's figure, feeling that although she looked ordinary, she had an otherworldly temperament.
Xu Xiu was secretly surprised: "Is Hanhan really that bold today?"
He deliberately spoke seriously, saying, "Student Xiao, you can hug me, but it will cost money, charged by the second."
"But since we're classmates, I'll give you a discount. I'll charge you one yuan per second."
As soon as Xu Xiu finished speaking, Wang Mengqi mocked from the side, "Xu Xiu, it's your good fortune to have such a beautiful woman like Xiao Ruoyan hug you, and you still dare to take money?"
Ning Bufan said with an envious look, "Old Xu, you're usually quite clever, but you messed up at such a crucial moment. How are you going to find a girlfriend like this?"
Just as the two were gloating, Xiao Ruoyan slowly spoke up, "Okay...okay, you calculate the time...I'll transfer it to you later..."
"Next time I want to hug you... could you give me a discount?"
"I...I'm rather poor..."
Xu Xiu: "......"
Wang Mengqi: "......"
Ning Bufan: "......"
Just as the four of them were playing around, a commotion in the distance caught their attention. Xu Xiu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Liu Qianxue's luxury car. Then, a girl with an extraordinary demeanor got out of the car.
She was clearly a rich heiress. Her car could have driven straight into the school, but Liu Qianxue spotted Xu Xiu and his group from afar.
That's why they had the driver stop at the entrance. Before school started, Liu Wenzhou and Tang Xiaoshuang went to Xu Xiu, hoping he could persuade Liu Qianxue.
Xu Xiu said that she was already an adult, and given his status, he couldn't say anything, which just gave people a feeling of keeping her at arm's length.
Liu Wenzhou and Tang Xiaoshuang then realized that something had happened between Xu Xiu and their daughter that they didn't know about. No wonder the Xu family wanted to withdraw from their supply chain; it must be because of this.
When they got home, the two asked Liu Qianxue about it. Liu Qianxue only said that Xu Xiu had confessed his feelings to her, but she did not agree and said she would wait until she went to university.
Then Xu Xiu stopped paying attention to her. Liu Wenzhou and Tang Xiaoshuang felt that their daughter hadn't done anything wrong, and that the boy was definitely not sincere.
She used to treat her daughter very well, but there are plenty of good men who would treat her well. With her daughter's qualities, she could find any kind of man.
If it weren't for the cooperation between the two families, how could Xu Xiu have gotten so close to his daughter?
Little did they know that while their daughter had downplayed the issue, she knew in her heart that the only one who truly cared for her and treated her sincerely was Xu Xiu.
So she gave up Tsinghua and Peking University to come to Hangzhou University. She didn't believe that she could really let go of so many years of feelings. Maybe Xu Xiu would come back to her side soon.
Xu Xiu was a little stunned when he saw Liu Qianxue. This persistent ghost had actually come to Hangzhou University?
Just as he was about to lead everyone away, not wanting to have any more contact with her, he was stopped by someone calling out from afar before he had taken two steps.
There were already many people registering for the start of the school year, and Xiao Ruoyan and Xu Xiu had already attracted attention. But when Liu Qianxue called out, all the onlookers stopped to watch.
Everyone was looking forward to what interesting things would happen.
As Liu Qianxue slowly approached, Xu Xiu remained unmoved. Upon reaching Xu Xiu, Liu Qianxue questioned, "Why didn't you answer my messages or my calls?"
Ning Bufan felt awkward staying there, so he said something to the side and went to report for duty first.
Wang Mengqi was also about to leave when she saw Xiao Ruoyan still standing there in a daze. She went up to her and pulled her towards the school gate. Along the way, Xiao Ruoyan looked back countless times.
