Han Xu was surprised to find that Lin Dan was actually doing a set of GRE real test papers and scored very high. He stared at her test paper for a while, then suddenly asked, "Are you planning to study abroad?"
Lin Dan shrank his neck, as if frightened, and then nodded: "Yes."
"Which school are you going to apply to?" Han Xu continued to ask.
“Harvard.”
Han Xu raised his eyebrows and looked surprised: "Harvard is very difficult."
"I know, but Wang Jun is going to study in the United States, and I want to go with him." Lin Dan answered truthfully.
Han Xu was silent for a moment, then asked, "When are you going to take the TOEFL?"
"I've passed the exam." Lin Dan said without turning his head.
Han Xu stared at the back of her head: "How many points did you get?"
"113 points."
Han Xu was silent again. He didn't know that Lin Dan was so efficient. He passed the language barrier in just one month, and his results were so excellent. In fact, Wang Jun decided to study in the United States a long time ago, but he just talked about it and never took any action. He kept thinking about it from his sophomore year to his senior year. As graduation was approaching and his future path was still uncertain, his father became anxious and forced him to apply to Harvard.
But Han Xu knew very well that with Wang Jun's nonchalant attitude, it would be impossible for him to be admitted to Harvard. Uncle Wang could only donate money and buildings to broaden his life path. But Lin Dan did not have these conditions, so he could only bury himself in studying.
For a moment, Han Xu felt complicated. He knew how low Harvard's acceptance rate was, but he didn't pour cold water on Lin Dan. Instead, he reminded her, "The study room is about to close. You should go back and rest early. Harvard's admission criteria are not just based on grades, but also on comprehensive qualities. If you have time, you should participate in more social activities. It will be good for you."
Lin Dan thanked him politely, and then realized that there were only a dozen minutes left before closing, so he quickly stood up and packed his things.
Han Xu walked out of the study room and stood in the dimly lit corridor waiting.
A few minutes later, Lin Dan came out carrying a huge schoolbag and holding a thick stack of information in his hands. She was not wearing any makeup, her face looked very pale, and there were slightly blue circles around her eyes, and it was obvious that she was not getting enough sleep. She didn't speak to Han Xu, but walked past him, went down the stairs and came out of the library. The two of them could have walked the same section of the road, but she went in opposite directions.
Han Xu couldn't help but yelled, "Where are you going?"
"I still have an experiment to do, so I'll rest in the lab tonight." Lin Dan waved his hand without even turning his head.
The huge schoolbag hanging on her thin body made her look very bulky. At first glance, she looked like a turtle, and it was very difficult for her to take one step at a time when she walked. Han Xu stared at her back for a long time, and only shook his head and left after she disappeared into a place where the street lights could not reach. After returning to the dormitory, he looked at the empty bed opposite and asked, "Where's Wang Jun?"
"I went out on a date." replied my roommate.
"Who are you dating?" Han Xu frowned.
"With a new girlfriend."
"When did it happen?" Han Xu asked in a serious tone.
"It's been several days. That day, Wang Jun accidentally rescued a beautiful girl who was harassed by a hooligan. The girl's name is Ouyang Xue, a freshman. She is so pure and beautiful that she captivated Wang Jun. Look, this is Ouyang Xue. Isn't she pretty? I heard that she is fair, rich and beautiful, a Chinese from the United States. Her family background is much better than Lin Dan's. Such a person is worthy of Wang Jun! Nowadays, love between people from different social classes will not be happy." The roommate opened the WeChat chat interface and found a photo that Wang Jun had sent a few days ago.
The two people in the photo are smiling brightly. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and they look very well matched. However, Han Xu did not feel gratified or relieved as he did in the past. Instead, his brows were furrowed and his expression was solemn. He took out a pack of cigarettes and walked to the corner downstairs to light it. As he was smoking alone, he saw a couple standing under a big banyan tree and kissing.
After a long while, the man reluctantly let go of the woman and said softly, "Don't worry, Xiaoxue, I will go to America to find you."
"But you already have a girlfriend." The girl's voice sounded sad.
"I will break up with her." The man vowed.
The girl was very happy and hugged the man's waist and acted coquettishly. They hugged and kissed for a while before walking away hand in hand without entering the dormitory.
Han Xu stared at their backs with a very dark look. After a few minutes, he took out his mobile phone and called Wang Jun: "Ajun, the dormitory is about to close, why haven't you come back yet?"
"Brother Han, I won't be back today."
"where did you go?"
"Getting a room with my girlfriend." Wang Jun's smiling voice came from the microphone.
If he hadn't seen what happened just now, Han Xu would have thought that his childhood sweetheart's girlfriend was Lin Dan. After hanging up the phone, his face was gloomy. At this point, he really couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong between Wang Jun and Lin Dan.
…………
The next day, Lin Dan brought dinner to Wang Jun as usual, and then went to the study room to read.
Han Xu walked straight to her and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "Have you told Wang Jun about your plan to go abroad?"
"Why tell him?" Lin Dan looked puzzled.
"He has connections in his family and can help you."
"Why should I need his help? I can do it myself." Lin Dan had just finished speaking when she received an email from Harvard, saying that she had been admitted to the Department of Biological Sciences and was awarded a full scholarship. The papers she published in authoritative journals aroused heated discussions in the academic community. The school believed that her research had extraordinary value and sincerely invited her to join the Harvard family and was prepared to provide her with the most advanced laboratory.
Lin Dan read the email carefully, then sent a message to her tutor, telling him that she had been admitted and thanking him for his care during this period. Otherwise, she would not have been able to get her diploma in advance, let alone this precious opportunity. The instructor responded with an excited expression, but Lin Dan just smiled faintly.
Han Xu stared at the email, the shock in his heart was simply indescribable. He never knew that Lin Dan was such a powerful person.
Lin Dan raised his head and looked at him, his face full of confusion: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"No, not at all." Han Xu turned and left, finally realizing that he seemed to have underestimated Lin Dan. He wanted to call Wang Jun to inform him about this, but he found a luxury car parked on the side of the road. A girl stepped out halfway and seemed to be struggling, but her wrist was firmly grasped by the man in the car.
The girl burst into tears, her eyes sparkling with tears. The man leaned over and said something to her, then kissed the back of her white hand. The girl lowered her head aggrievedly, kissed the man back on the lips, then ran away with a red face. The man stared at her back with a determined look on his face.
Han Xu was not a nosy person, but he stared at the scene with anger in his eyes. The woman was none other than Wang Jun’s new girlfriend, Ouyang Xue.
The man noticed his gaze, but just smiled contemptuously and ordered the driver to turn around and leave. He looked to be in his early thirties, very handsome, with deep and three-dimensional facial features indicating that he was of mixed race. But what is most eye-catching about him is not his appearance, but his cold temperament. Having never killed anyone or seen blood, the hostility in his eyes would not be that deep.
Han Xu stood there for a long time before returning to the dormitory, only to see Wang Jun anxiously making a phone call: "Xiaoxue, don't cry, I'm breaking up with Lin Dan soon, don't leave me. Xiaoxue, what happened to you, we were fine this morning... Of course I love you, only after I met you did I understand what love is. I don't love Lin Dan at all, it was just a momentary confusion, wait, I'm breaking up with her soon. Can you come out later and we can have a good chat? If you encounter any difficulties, you must tell me, we will face it together, I will protect you, believe me..."
Wang Jun talked on and on for a long time, and Han Xu listened patiently, his expression becoming more and more serious.
The other two roommates stared at Wang Jun in amazement, and mouthed silently, "Brother, did you capsize?"
After Wang Jun finally hung up the phone, his roommate named Zhou Da immediately said, "I told you a long time ago that you should break up with Lin Dan before being with Xiaoxue. Otherwise, Xiaoxue will be so sad! Look at what you are doing!"
A roommate named Qian Li immediately agreed: "That's right, luckily Xiaoxue has a good temper and can tolerate you."
The two had a very bad impression of Lin Dan, and naturally thought that being abandoned by Wang Jun was entirely what she deserved and had nothing to do with Ouyang Xue.
Han Xu suppressed his anger and prepared to persuade his friend, but before he could open his mouth, Wang Jun had already called Lin Dan and said, "Hey, Lin Dan, I want to break up with you."
The dormitory fell silent in an instant. Qian Li and Zhou Da winked at each other and pouted their lips, all wanting to see Lin Dan's excitement. Who said Lin Dan was the famous cold beauty in B University? She always looked at people with a sense of superiority. But what is she in the eyes of others? In terms of academic performance, she was just average; in terms of her family background, she was not even at the bottom; apart from a pretty face, she had nothing. Without Wang Jun, she is nothing. Why does she look down on others?
The more they thought about it, the more gloating they felt. They raised their fists and made a gesture of wiping tears, meaning that Lin Dan would definitely cry, which would be fun.
Lin Dan's cold voice came: "Give me a reason."
Wang Jun said quickly: "I'm going to study in the United States. Long-distance relationships won't work."
Qian Li and Zhou Da ran to Wang Jun and eavesdropped.
Lin Dan said slowly: "What a coincidence, I am also going to study in the United States. I was admitted to Harvard this afternoon."
Wang Jun was stunned, Qian Li and Zhou Da couldn't believe their ears.
Han Xu snatched Wang Jun's phone, hung up the call, and said in a deep voice: "Have you had enough of making trouble? In order to go to the United States with you, Lin Dan has been working on projects, writing papers, and taking various exams. She also makes time to cook dinner for you every day. She has been admitted to Harvard, and I saw the admission letter with my own eyes. And you, what have you done these days? Either playing games or picking up girls, have you worked hard for your future? This afternoon I saw Ouyang Xue kissing a man on the side of the road, and I think I have an obligation to remind you not to be deceived. I said Lin Dan is not suitable for you, but now I take back what I said. She does not have a good background, but she works very hard. Some people are born noble, but they may not be as beautiful as you look."
Wang Jun didn't believe Han Xu's words at all. He pushed him away and ran away in a hurry. He wanted to go to Ouyang Xue to verify it in person.
Han Xu stared at his back and cursed him in frustration.
Qian Li and Zhou Da asked in disbelief: "Brother Han, was Lin Dan really admitted to Harvard?"
"Does this have anything to do with you?" Han Xu thought of Lin Dan's back, staggering in the night with a huge schoolbag on her back, and couldn't help feeling annoyed. He prided himself on being good at judging people, but he didn't expect to be wrong this time. If he hadn't meddled in other people's business and suggested that Wang Jun and Lin Dan temporarily separate, things wouldn't have gotten to this point.
