It was late at night when Hsu Cheng-hsi saw off the top figure.
When he had a moment to himself, the first thing he thought of was replying to Xu Zhe's message. He opened the chat, typed a few words with a smile, then thought about it and deleted them.
She's always been a light sleeper, and since she set his messages to special reminders, she's sure to be woken up.
Xu Zhengxi stayed alone in the office, planning to sleep in the lounge for the night, as there was a meeting the next morning.
He had barely closed his eyes when the words of the number one figure resurfaced in his mind, preventing him from sleeping peacefully.
The number one figure in Country H, his position is his goal.
He actually invited me to join his camp, and I couldn't refuse no matter what.
Xu Zhengxi understood that this battle was extremely dangerous, but the rewards were very considerable.
He wanted to gamble because he wanted to win!
Once you win the world, no one will dare to underestimate you.
However, he absolutely could not let her be involved in the dangers involved. Before he started the battle, he had to get Xu Zhe to a safe place first.
Xu Zhengxi couldn't sleep anymore, so she simply turned on her computer and searched for information about studying abroad. Despite her deep reluctance, this was the only temporary solution she could take.
Xu Zhe returned to campus life and moved back to dormitory 202.
She was accompanied by Si Xingzhu, the dormitory supervisor.
Xu Zhe was very careful in his interactions with her from the moment they got in the car, afraid that she, who was suffering from the pain of heartbreak, might suddenly have a change of heart and start singing "The Temptation of Going Home" on repeat.
With Xu Zhengxi not around, no one could stop her from going crazy in a second.
Little did they know that Si Xingzhu possessed extraordinary self-healing abilities, seemingly forgetting that a man named Chu Yan had ever appeared in her life. Upon entering room 202, she immediately started clamoring for everyone to have hot pot.
Su Nan glanced at her: "Dormitory supervisor, high-powered electrical appliances aren't allowed in student dorms, isn't that what you're in charge of?"
Si Xingzhu smiled wickedly: "You still remember that I held the power of life and death over the electricity supply of an entire building?!"
"Don't worry, go ahead and do the hotpot business. You have connections! I'm the boss of this whole building!"
Su Nan: "......" She hasn't even drunk any alcohol, but she's acting like she's drunk. Why doesn't she just say that she's the one who calls the shots in the entire Lingnan region?!
The hot pot was cooked as requested by the dormitory manager.
Si Xingzhu contentedly cooked her favorite dishes, eating until she was sweating profusely, yet still managing to chat with half her mouth free:
"Hey Zhe, why don't you invite your only friend in the chemistry class to join the group?"
Hsu Che: "Why emphasize the only friend?"
"Hehe, you're a transfer student, and your personality isn't as charismatic as mine or Su Nan's. It's already a stroke of luck that you've made even one friend~"
Su Nan: "Miss Si, thank you so much!"
He praised himself while also mentioning her, so he seems to really approve of her character~ Hehe~
Xu Zhe was too lazy to argue with the two of them: "She doesn't eat these things, she only eats the nutritious meals prepared by the professional chef at home. She even drinks water from a brand that matches your young master's."
"Ah?!" Si Xingzhu wailed, "Was she forced into this? There's no joy in living like this!"
Xu Zhe: "......" As fellow human beings, the difference is even greater than that between different species.
Si Xingzhu felt that one couldn't eat and drink freely; without strong flavors, life would be bland. Others even thought that their unhealthy, unhealthy eating habits were a waste of their lives!
Su Nan echoed Si Xingzhu's opinion, agreeing with her.
Bei Xiaoyu ate her food quietly, but stopped eating when she heard Yu Tiantian's name.
She didn't know if Xu Zhe knew about Yu Tiantian before, but she had heard Liang Shaojie mention her.
The Yu and Liang families are old friends, and both families have been trying to match her with Liang Shaojie. Despite his repeated rejections, their enthusiasm for the marriage remains undiminished.
Bei Xiaoyu was also unsure whether Yu Tiantian knew about her relationship with Xu Zhe or whether she minded her past with Liang Shaojie.
She really hoped that she was just overthinking things and that other people's thoughts weren't that complicated.
Xu Zhe remained completely oblivious to both Bei Xiaoyu's and Yu Tiantian's thoughts. She had more pressing matters to deal with.
The dreaded midterm exams have arrived once again, just like always.
This is a huge challenge for Xu Zhe, a transfer student who missed a semester of professional courses.
In order not to lose face in front of Xu Zhengxi, and in order not to be "educated" by him, she worked hard with revolutionary enthusiasm in the two weeks before the exam, and even paid for a senior student to tutor her at her own expense.
She lives a monotonous life, going between the classroom, dormitory, and library every day. She doesn't even bother going to her beloved cafeteria anymore, and instead asks Si Xingzhu, who holds the power of life and death over the electricity usage of the entire dormitory building, to pack her meals every day.
Finally, in the midterm exams, I achieved an outstanding result that was above average in the grade.
Xu Zhe was very satisfied. As a transfer student, she didn't fantasize about becoming a top student and achieving instant fame like in a fantasy novel.
The fact that she was able to achieve this score is already a reward for her hard work and dedication.
Yu Tiantian's grades were in the lower middle of her grade, but she didn't seem to care about that at all. Her family didn't have any expectations for her grades, and she was admitted to Nancheng University as an art student.
Xu Zhe couldn't help but sigh, "This person is so lucky. She's a pampered young lady whose parents don't even want to put pressure on her with her studies!"
"Starting next week, I'm going to take a two-week leave of absence," Yu Tiantian told Xu Zhe during a break between classes.
So that she wouldn't keep sending messages asking if she didn't see that I came to class.
Xu Zhe was taken aback: "So long? What are you going to do?"
She was mostly disappointed; now she didn't even have her only friend in class. She had no one to help her when they argued, and she had to go to the bathroom alone.
Yu Tiantian smiled, a sweet smile: "I'll accomplish a major life event in half a month."
"Would I be fortunate enough to know what major event it is?" Xu Zhe asked curiously.
