Qi Jincheng hugged her tightly, pinched her soft cheek, and said, "Xi'er is just too kind."
Qiao Xi wouldn't dare to use the word 'kind' to describe herself, but it depends on who she's dealing with. She's kind to the people she loves, but she could never be kind to her enemies.
Qiao Xi, fearing she would disappoint Qi Jincheng, gave him a heads-up beforehand, "Honey, you'll take back that assessment of me sooner or later."
Qi Jincheng actually wanted to hear such words; he just didn't want his Xi'er to be too kind.
Looking at the half-eaten bowl of noodles left, Qi Jincheng asked her, "Want some more?"
"Eat!" Qiao Xi gave a single word of affirmation, then sat back down and started eating again.
Qi Jincheng looked at her with an expression of helplessness, his eyes full of doting affection. "Eat early and go to bed. It's the first day of school, you don't want to be late, do you?"
Qiao Xi said nonchalantly, "Tomorrow is just for checking in, but I can't be late."
“I’ll take you there tomorrow,” Qi Jincheng said again.
Qiao Xi readily agreed, "Okay."
The next day, because of the long journey, Qiao Xi had no choice but to get up very early.
Actually, it's not that early. Today is registration day, so we don't need to be too early. Classes start tomorrow, so we'll start even earlier.
In her past life, she never had trouble waking up early. In this life... all she wants to do is sleep, especially since she falls asleep in the arms of her beloved every day. How could she bear to get up!
Qiao Xi couldn't help but look at Qi Jincheng with a resentful expression. Qi Jincheng said with heartache, "How about we move to..."
"No!" Qiao Xi refused outright and declared resolutely, "From today onwards, I will study hard and improve every day!"
Qi Jincheng cheered her on, saying, "Our Xi'er can definitely do it."
Qiao Xi thought he would try to dissuade her, but she never expected it to turn out like this; even her last escape route had been blocked...
To maintain her status as the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, Qiao Xi deliberately didn't let Qi Jincheng drive to the school gate. You couldn't find another car like his in the entire capital, and besides... he himself was the biggest 'traffic star'!
Qi Jincheng knew what was going on, so he cooperated and stopped in a secluded spot. He watched Qiao Xi until she walked into the school gate before he left with peace of mind.
However, he finds it hard to put his mind at ease whenever he thinks of one person, but he chooses to trust his Xi'er.
Having been away from campus for five whole years, Qiao Xi never dreamed that she would return in this way.
She'd already wasted a year; she was determined to make the most of the remaining three years and become a true jewelry designer.
As she walked toward the classroom, Qiao Xi could vaguely hear the whispers of those around her.
"I absolutely refuse to believe that our school heartthrob would be this kind of person," the girl said indignantly.
The other girl was relatively calmer. "You can't disbelieve it, it's a fact that he's being kept by someone, and he's even dating that Miss Qiao."
"That Qiao Yuan is so ugly, how could our school heartthrob be interested in her?!" The girl still looked unconvinced, as if she wanted to tear Qiao Yuan apart.
"She's just an illegitimate daughter from a humble family; she must have seduced our school heartthrob," another girl said confidently.
The girl, looking utterly miserable, chimed in, "I think so too."
Then she muttered under her breath, "Can't he just ask me for money if he needs it?"
Another girl, clearly no longer willing to play along, declared, taking center stage, "You're beautiful, but I'm richer than you."
This might be true, so the girl didn't say anything more, but instead cursed Qiao Yuan viciously, "I hate that bitch Qiao Yuan to death. I'll definitely teach her a lesson when I get the chance."
"She seems to be a freshman this year," another girl suddenly told her.
The girl seemed unaware of this, looking quite surprised. "What did you say?"
"You don't even know this?" another girl said with a look of disdain.
The girl instantly gritted her teeth in hatred and yelled, "Then she's dead!"
Another girl smiled maliciously and said leisurely, "None of the girls in our school will let her off the hook, especially Han Linlin."
Hearing Han Linlin's name, the girl swallowed her anger a little. "Let's wait and see what happens to that bitch Qiao Yuan."
Han Linlin is the heir to the Han Group. Originally, she should have been her brother's heir, but unfortunately, an accident occurred. The Han Group is a well-known conglomerate in Beijing, but it is incomparable to the Dihua Group and the Jinghua Family.
One was a local tyrant, while the other two were the ones who truly held the power.
However, at Beijing University, the most powerful families are the Han family, the Chu family, and the Jiang family. They have each formed a small group, and almost no one in the school's faculty or students dares to offend them.
Every girl in the school knows that Han Linlin likes Lu Mingxuan, and her pursuit of him is incredibly intense. Unfortunately, she hasn't been able to win him over yet, and Lu Mingxuan has become the 'fierce man' in the eyes of all the girls.
In her past life, Qiao Xi was too clever for her own good, thinking that Lu Mingxuan only had eyes for her and that was why he was indifferent to Han Linlin. Unfortunately, she was wrong. What he wanted was the Jinghua Family in her hands.
Lost in thought, a sharp and annoying voice came from Qiao Xi's side, "Oh, isn't this the last place in our entire department?"
"Yeah, how dare she come to school?"
It's true what they say, speak of the devil and he appears.
On the first day of school, Qiao Xi didn't want her to ruin her good mood, so she ignored her.
But Han Linlin wasn't going to let it go. "Qiao Xi, you stop right there!"
"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
The group she brought surrounded Qiao Xi, who gave her a cold look and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
"Hmph." Han Linlin sneered, "Looks like we're having a flirtatious conversation with a cow."
“Yes.” Qiao Xi paused deliberately, then said with certainty, “I never listen to nonsense.”
The meaning of those four words was so obvious that even a fool could understand them. Han Linlin was so angry that her delicate features crumpled up. "You..."
Qiao Xi didn't give her a chance to lash out, and coldly asked her, "Did Han want to see me about something?"
Their relationship was already terrible in their past life because of Lu Mingxuan. Qiao Xi knew that Han Linlin was pursuing Lu Mingxuan, so she always had a hostile attitude towards her. Everyone else listened to Han Linlin, but she didn't, so Han Linlin would always cause trouble for her.
Han Linlin forced down her anger and suddenly smiled sarcastically, "One is a mistress who seduces someone else's boyfriend, and the other is the worst student in the entire department. You two sisters really are a family."
