Mo Xiaoqing splashed water on her face until the burning temperature returned to normal. "Phew, don't overthink it, it was just a compliment."
He climbed into his bed and covered his head with the blanket.
Ugh, this is so annoying...
——
The opening ceremony was held in the school auditorium, which was usually empty, but now it was packed with people.
The principal on the stage was speaking with great enthusiasm, but few people in the audience were listening attentively.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Wenjing frowned as she looked at Ji Yao, who was constantly making changes with her head down.
"There's a part in the rehearsal script that needs to be revised," Ji Yao replied without looking up, casually tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
"Oh." Jiang Wenjing nodded in understanding. Ji Yao had put a lot of effort into the script for the welcome party these past few days. Then she suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen the petite figure she usually saw. She looked around and asked, "By the way, where is Mo Xiaoqing?"
"I don't know, didn't she not come?" Ji Yao replied casually.
Li Qian thought for a moment and replied, "It seems like I stayed up all night to finish the manuscript, and I'm probably still lying in bed right now."
Jiang Wenjing was puzzled. "Rushing to finish a manuscript? Didn't she already finish her last book?"
"Who knows? Anyway, when I got back to the dorm last night, she was still staring blankly at her computer. Maybe she was having writer's block." Li Qian shrugged lazily. "Besides, what difference does it make whether you attend or not? These opening ceremonies are just the same few sentences over and over again."
"Who said that? I heard there's a super handsome senior going to give a speech this year," Jiang Wenjing said gossipingly, glancing at the stage. "I wonder what he looks like?"
Li Qian's eyes flickered, but her expression remained impassive. "Who?"
Jiang Wenjing shook her head. "I don't know about that. I just happened to hear the principal talking about it when I passed by the principal's office last time. He studied at our school for his undergraduate degree, then pursued his graduate studies at Harvard in the United States, and now he's back to pursue two master's degrees."
Li Qian frowned. The more she listened, the more certain she became. It looked so much like the person she knew. She glanced at a corner of the stage and seemed to be able to see the person's figure.
"Sisi, what is this person thinking? Since he was able to finish his master's degree in the United States, it shouldn't be a problem for him to finish two master's degrees there. Although our school is indeed one of the top schools in the country, it's not so good that it would make a Harvard graduate student come here specifically to study, right? Is our school really that good?" Jiang Wenjing frowned, unable to understand it at all.
Li Qian absentmindedly curled her lips, as if remembering something. She first frowned, then smoothed it out, and then a mocking smile appeared on her lips as she answered meaningfully, "Perhaps the brain structures of high achievers like them are inherently different from those of ordinary people like us."
Ordinary people, "..."
—This is the dividing line between Mo Xiaoqing and Ji Muhan's reunion—
When Mo Xiaoqing woke up, she realized she had overslept, so she calmly washed up.
Without even having time to tie her hair, Mo Xiaoqing changed her shoes and ran towards the school auditorium with her hair disheveled.
If she hadn't listened to Mu Han's songs until very late last night and still couldn't fall asleep, she wouldn't be sleeping so soundly...
As Mo Xiaoqing passed by the teaching building, she glanced at it briefly, and her gaze suddenly froze. Her feet stopped involuntarily, and she could no longer move forward.
In the deserted and quiet campus, the two tall figures standing under the banyan tree were particularly conspicuous.
but……
One of them... looks familiar.
It felt like I'd seen it somewhere before.
Mo Xiaoqing was racking her brains to remember when the man standing there seemed to sense someone staring at him from behind and turned around without warning.
Mo Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment.
It was him.
Isn't that Ji Muhan?
After a few days apart, he was still as handsome and unparalleled as ever. His light blue checkered shirt was loosely rolled up at the wrists, simple yet elegant, with an indescribable sexiness, like a prince who had just casually tossed away his evening gown after attending a lavish banquet.
His cool and handsome face always seemed to lack expression. Even when he wasn't smiling, his brows seemed to be covered with Arctic ice and snow, carrying a faint sense of aloofness, which was also very beautiful.
His gaze swept lightly over Mo Xiaoqing, like a feather casually brushing against her heart, without a trace of emotion or lingering.
It's as if... she's completely forgotten about her.
Yes, judging from what she did that day, I doubt anyone would want to remember her!
For some reason, thinking about this made Mo Xiaoqing feel inexplicably lost and her heart ached.
I was listening to his live stream yesterday and couldn't sleep because of his comment that he was cute, but now I'm not sure if they are the same person.
"What are you looking at?" Li Chuan smiled slightly and followed Ji Muhan's gaze. Not far away, there seemed to be a girl standing. She was petite with neat bangs and long, shiny black hair that flowed smoothly down her back. A gentle breeze lifted a few strands of her hair, which were obediently draped behind her back. With her fair skin and smooth face, she was flawless even in the sunlight, as if she had stepped out of a painting of a lady.
Four words instantly popped into his mind: peaceful and serene times.
Even if a girl like that doesn't say anything, just standing there quietly, she still makes people feel beautiful and longing...
It was so beautiful that it felt unreal, as if it would vanish in the next second.
Li Chuan raised an eyebrow without changing his expression and asked with interest, "What, do you know each other?"
Ji Muhan turned to the side, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, before she said indifferently after a second or two, "Let's go."
After saying that, he strode off in another direction.
Li Chuan remained standing there, watching Ji Muhan's tall and straight back. She showed no intention of waiting for him and didn't even bother to look at the beautiful woman. He hurriedly followed her, muttering, "Hey, slow down! I don't know the way."
Before she could think it through, the man and another man had already disappeared from her sight.
...
——
"I didn't expect to have such a great harvest this time at A University. This girl is far more beautiful than our school beauty back then." Li Chuan caught up with Ji Muhan in a few strides, thought for a moment, and then tapped his head in annoyance, complaining, "I should have gone up and asked her for her phone number."
Ji Muhan's eyes flickered, she narrowed them slightly, and curled her lips into a somewhat ambiguous smile, "How do you know she must be from this school?"
"That's right, judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to be 18 yet, does she?" Li Chuan sighed with emotion as he recalled the girl's appearance again.
"I finally found someone I like, and now it's going to be nipped in the bud..."
