Chapter 1 Campus Goddess White Moonlight 1 Begins
The coffee machine was running at a low hum, and the rich aroma filled the whole room. Soft piano music was playing in the shop, occasionally accompanied by the crisp sound of cups and plates clinking against each other.
In such a quiet atmosphere, a girl with delicate features and almost flawless like a doll was sitting by the window, holding an exercise book.
Her long, slightly curly hair hung on her shoulders. She frowned from time to time and bit her lower lip, looking like a well-behaved student who was stuck in a difficult problem.
At this time, a boy in a coffee shop uniform came to the girl with a tray and bowed slightly.
“Here’s your latte.”
His eyes accidentally swept over the question she was struggling with. As Ji Hanlin, who had always been ranked first in Shangde High School, he could figure out the solution to this problem at a glance.
It's not that he didn't notice the girl who appeared frequently in the past few days. She was even wearing their school uniform. It was hard not to wonder whether this was a coincidence or a deliberate encounter.
The girl just looked at the questions, her eyes jumping back and forth between numbers and symbols. She looked like she was thinking seriously and seemed to be really concentrating on studying.
Wen Qianning, who was originally immersed in a math problem, suddenly raised her head when she heard the voice. When she saw the tall young man next to her, her eyes lit up and she grabbed his hand as if she had found a life-saving straw.
"Classmate, I recognize you... You're the top-ranked science student, Ji Xueshen, right? I saw you at the school's commendation ceremony. Can you teach me this question?"
Subconsciously, Ji Hanlin wanted to shake off her hand.
But the look in the man's eyes was too sincere. He was silent for a moment, and finally just gently pulled his hand away: "Sorry, it's my work time now."
Hearing his refusal, Wen Qianning sighed in disappointment, then as if she had come up with an idea, she took out her wallet and put a red bill on the plate.
"Okay, store manager sister, can I ask your clerk some math problems now? Don't worry, it will only take twenty minutes at most." Wen Qianning said to the store manager at the counter with a smile.
"Of course you can." The store manager also smiled and instructed Ji Hanlin, "Xiao Ji, you must teach this little sister well!"
Ji Hanlin felt somewhat helpless, but he still sat down next to Wen Qianning, took the pen, and began to explain the topic to her.
He wrote down a few formulas on a piece of paper: "Look at this step first and substitute the conditions in."
She blinked, her eyes following the movement of his pen tip, and she also followed the calculations on the draft paper, making every stroke carefully and meticulously.
I thought that this girl, who looked and worked in a delicate manner, would need to be told several times before she could understand. Unexpectedly, after only one time, Wen Qianning nodded as if she suddenly understood, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly at that moment, with a bit of childish complacency.
"So that's how it is. I understand." The girl's almond-shaped eyes seemed to contain a pool of clear water, and her gaze was so clear that it made people feel a little overwhelmed.
The girl is teachable. He didn't expect that she is so smart. He breathed a sigh of relief and slightly adjusted the angle of the chair.
The light from the cafe poured down from above, making the girl's face look even softer.
Her attention quickly returned to the exercise book, but at this moment, Ji Hanlin's gaze unconsciously lingered on the side of her face.
The girl has long eyelashes, a delicate and straight nose, and her hair exudes a faint fragrance that mixes with the aroma of coffee, making it hard to tell which one is more distracting.
"Student Ji?" She called him softly, her tone a little doubtful. "Is the method for this question the same?"
Ji Hanlin came back to his senses and coughed, "Yeah, yes. I just changed the data a little bit, the steps are the same."
She nodded and buried her head in her calculations. After solving the second problem, she looked back at him again: "Is this correct?"
"Yes." He glanced at it and nodded.
"Then I seem to like math a little bit." Wen Qianning said with a smile, and the smile spread like ripples.
The boy didn't say anything, but just looked away silently, not wanting her to see his subtle feelings.
Now that her problem had been solved, Ji Hanlin got up and went about his own business.
After finishing his work at the coffee shop, when it was time to get off work, he saw the girl also picking up her schoolbag and preparing to leave the coffee shop.
It was early spring and the weather was still very cold. Wen Qianning shivered as soon as she pushed the door open.
Ji Hanlin found this scene amusing, but remained silent. Wen Qianning, upon seeing him emerge, said in surprise, "Mr. Ji, is it time for you to get off work too?"
"Yeah." Ji Hanlin nodded indifferently. He didn't want to say anything more, but the girl sneezed again, and her nose turned red. He couldn't help but say, "The weather is still very cold recently. Remember to wear more clothes."
A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Qianning's eyes. She said "Huh" and smiled sweetly, "Student Ji, are you actually concerned about me?"
As if she felt that this was too ambiguous, she quickly waved her hand and explained, "No, no... What I mean is that although classmate Ji has a cold face, he is a very good person."
Ji Hanlin remained silent, feeling that... this girl might not be very smart. They had only spoken to each other once, so why did she think he was a good person?
"Okay, my driver is here to pick me up." A black car stopped at the intersection, and Wen Qianning waved goodbye to him lively, "Goodbye!"
After the car door closed, Wen Qianning leaned back on the leather seat, his mind somewhat blank.
I am not from this world.
To be precise, this is a novel, and she was sent into this book as a fast traveler to carry out a mission.
The role played by Wen Qianning here is the "white moonlight" of the male protagonist of the novel. She needs to cooperate with the plot to advance the development of the novel. When the story reaches an important node, she can break up with the male protagonist and complete her mission and leave.
This world is the first copy she entered.
In this world, Wen Qianning is the eldest daughter of the Wen family, a business giant in City A. She comes from a prominent family and has outstanding looks. She is the center of attention at Shangde High School and even in the entire City A.
My thoughts went back to the birthday party of the Bi family’s daughter last week.
That day, Bi Shiwen, the daughter of the Bi family, held a small party in her villa. Several socialites from City A sat around in the living room, holding their glasses and chatting.
Talking about gossip too much will always get boring, so someone suggested playing truth or dare.
Wen Qianning had bad luck that day and lost three games in a row. When asked to choose truth or dare, she inexplicably chose the latter.
"Ningning, how about something exciting?" Bi Shiwen smiled harmlessly. "You know Ji Hanlin from our school, right?"
Someone next to him immediately chimed in: "He's the one who topped the science class, right? He's quite handsome, but he ignores everyone and has a cold face all day long."
As if thinking of something, Bi Shiwen nodded in agreement and said indignantly, "Last time during class selection at school, he and I were in the same class. Out of curiosity, I touched the necklace he left on his desk, but he snatched it back and coldly told me to get lost! What a lousy necklace! I just touched it. I was so pissed off!"
Hearing this, everyone present chuckled. Wen Qianning didn't say anything, but she was a little confused about what Bi Shiwen meant.
"Hmm... let's take a big risk and get that necklace, how about that?" Bi Shiwen swirled his wine glass slowly. "Just think of it as revenge for me. Three months, is that enough?"
Wen Qianning frowned and was about to say she didn't want to play anymore, but someone next to her said lightly, "What? Ningning also has a punishment that she doesn't dare to accept?"
Seeing her hesitation, Bi Shiwen didn't say much, trying to smooth things over by saying, "Forget it, forget it. I guess Ji Hanlin treasures his broken necklace so much that he doesn't know where to put it. It's really not easy to get it."
But at that moment, Wen Qianning's heart choked, and she smiled in a sullen manner: "It's just a necklace, what's so difficult about it?"
Just like that, she accepted the bet.
Wen Qianning thought about it seriously and decided that the most direct way to get the necklace was... to chase Ji Hanlin.
After all, my biggest advantage is that I am good-looking, and I am the type that people can easily feel pity for when they see me.
The male protagonist Ji Hanlin grew up in an orphanage and lived alone after high school. In order to earn a living, he studied hard during the day to get scholarships and worked in a coffee shop after school.
So, these few days after school, Wen Qianning would show up at the coffee shop on time, just to make herself familiar to the male protagonist so that the mission could go on.
*
Shande High School's grade assembly is held once a week, usually in the auditorium.
Ji Hanlin sat in the back row as usual, his slender figure lazily leaning against the back of his chair. He had never been interested in such gatherings, believing them to be a waste of time.
At this time, a girl in a white school shirt passed by. She had a delicate face and skin so white that it was almost shiny. She was walking and talking with the classmate next to her with a smile.
When passing by Ji Hanlin's position, the girl glanced over here inadvertently. After her eyes met his, the smile in her eyes became even brighter.
The classmate sitting next to Ji Hanlin suddenly poked him and howled, "Goddess... she actually looked at me just now!"
"Goddess?" Ji Hanlin looked at the girl walking away, thoughtfully.
"No way, Master Ji, don't you know?" The boy sighed and said bitterly, "Her name is Wen Qianning, the goddess of our grade. She's incredibly beautiful and her family is incredibly wealthy. She's the school belle in the hearts of many of us. She just looked at me, is she interested in me..."
Of course I'm not looking at you, Ji Hanlin thought to himself, but didn't answer, because just a few days ago in the evening, Wen Qianning asked him to explain math problems to her in the coffee shop.
So just now, you were clearly looking at him, right?
It turned out that her name was Wen Qianning... He raised his eyebrows and looked away.
For some reason, her complexion had seemed even paler than it had been from afar. Yet, an unnatural blush clung to her overly pale cheeks. He didn't think it was a blush of shyness, but rather some kind of...unnatural flush.
Ji Hanlin's eyebrows moved slightly.
He wasn't one to meddle in other people's affairs, and he rarely felt that way. Thinking about it, this girl hadn't spoken much to him, she'd just been showing up a little more frequently at the coffee shop where he worked part-time lately. Yet, she had somehow managed to capture his full attention without him even realizing it.
While Wen Qianning was undoubtedly incredibly beautiful, he wasn't the type to give anyone a second glance simply because they were pretty. Even the most stunning appearance was superficial to him.
Thinking of this, Ji Hanlin came to his senses and no longer focused his attention on this girl.
After the grade assembly, the students all returned to the classroom to continue their classes.
The windows were shut and the heater was on, making the air inside the classroom somewhat stuffy. Wen Qianning lay hunched over the desk, tightly wrapped in her clothes, her face flushed profusely, a thin layer of sweat covering her forehead.
"Ningning," the girl at the same table couldn't help but turn around and ask in a low voice, "Are you okay? Why is your face so red?"
Wen Qianning half-supported herself, looking very weak, and spoke softly, "It's okay, I might just be a little sleepy."
"You don't have a cold or a fever, do you?" The girl hesitated for a moment, "Do you want me to take you to the school clinic?"
"No need." She shook her head and buried her face in her arms again, her voice muffled, "I'll be fine after a good sleep."
The classmate wanted to say something more, but seeing that she insisted that it was okay, he gave up.
The bell rang for the end of class at noon, and the students left the classroom one after another. When the classroom quieted down, Wen Qianning slowly stood up, picked up his schoolbag, and slowly walked out, holding onto the wall.
Ji Hanlin was returning a book to the library. As he crossed the path in front of the teaching building, he spotted a familiar figure in the distance. The girl's steps were unsteady, as if she were treading on cotton, and her pace was so slow it was almost unrecognizable.
He hesitated for a moment and didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but seeing that Wen Qianning's walking was really wrong, he finally followed her silently.
After taking two steps, the girl's body suddenly shook, and her entire body seemed to have lost all its support. Without even struggling, she fell forward.
Ji Hanlin almost subconsciously rushed forward and grabbed her before she was about to hit the railing.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" He looked down at her. The girl's eyelashes trembled, as if she was still in a semi-awake state. Her forehead was extremely hot, and even her breathing was much heavier.
Wen Qianning forced herself to lift her eyelids and looked at him dazedly: "...Ji Hanlin?"
Ji Hanlin frowned and subconsciously touched her forehead. When he felt the heat, his face turned dark instantly: "You have a fever, don't you know?"
Glancing to the side to see if there was anyone around, he carried her on his back without hesitation. She was very light, and she shrank unconsciously as she leaned against his back, her forehead pressed against the back of his neck, feeling incredibly hot.
Ji Hanlin quickly carried her to the school clinic. After briefly asking about the situation, the school doctor quickly took Wen Qianning's temperature and then gave her an IV drip.
"39 degrees," the school doctor glanced down at the thermometer and frowned. "It must have been running a fever this morning, but he's just been holding on."
Ji Hanlin didn't say anything, just stood by, his eyes fixed on Wen Qianning's face.
The school doctor glanced at him while recording the data: "Are you her classmate?"
"Um."
"Do you know the family's contact information?"
Ji Hanlin was silent for a moment, then took out his cell phone from the outside of her schoolbag. The screen was black, and he pressed it twice but there was no response. He guessed it was out of battery.
"Her phone was dead," he said.
"Okay." The school doctor nodded helplessly. "When this student wakes up, ask her to call her parents. I'll go see other students first." After saying that, he left the ward and closed the doorknob.
Their school's infirmary was large and well-equipped. Wen Qianning was lying in a small, separate room within the infirmary. Since Ji Hanlin had brought her there and couldn't contact any of her classmates, he could only sit by her bed and wait quietly for her to wake up.
