To ease the awkwardness (and shut Su Wanwan up), Han Feng personally cooked four dishes and a soup.
Looking at the delicious-looking dishes on the table, Su Wanwan exclaimed in surprise, "When did you learn to cook?!"
Before Han Feng could answer, Su Wanwan had already picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and stuffed it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up immediately: "Mmm! Delicious!"
Her cheeks puffed out as she chewed frantically like a hamster, not forgetting to give a thumbs up: "Chef Han! Awesome!"
Han Feng glanced at her: "Don't talk while you're eating."
Su Wanwan ignored him and scooped up another spoonful of Mapo Tofu, only to be so spicy that she stuck out her tongue and frantically tried to grab an iced cola. Wang Hao couldn't help but laugh at her disheveled appearance, but then he choked on the chili and coughed until his face turned bright red.
Han Feng sighed and got up to pour warm water for the two of them.
Su Wanwan gulped down half a glass of water, took a breath, and suddenly leaned up to Wang Hao with a sly grin: "Hey, does Han Feng have any embarrassing history from high school?"
Wang Hao's eyes lit up: "Yes! When he was in his first year of high school..."
Han Feng shot him a sharp glare.
Wang Hao immediately changed his tune: "...He's an excellent student who excels in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical education, aesthetics, and labor! Hahaha!"
Su Wanwan pouted in disappointment: "Boring."
Han Feng placed a piece of fish in her bowl: "Eat."
Su Wanwan was about to protest when she shrank back at Han Feng's murderous gaze.
(System Zero: "Host, your actions just now have been judged by this system as 'saying one thing but doing another'.")
Han Feng: "...Do you really want to be formatted tonight?"

After dinner, Wang Hao slumped on the sofa, rubbing his round belly and exclaiming, "Han Feng, you're living the life of the jungle! A mansion, a supercar, and..." He glanced at Su Wanwan, who was playing games on the other side, and lowered his voice, "Such a beautiful roommate?"
Han Feng didn't bother to explain, and simply said, "I'll take you to register at school tomorrow."
Wang Hao nodded, then leaned closer mysteriously: "Seriously, you two really aren't having an affair?"
Han Feng picked up a cushion from the sofa and pressed it directly onto his face.
The start of the new semester for universities and colleges is fast approaching.
The entrance to Kyoto Institute of Technology.
Han Feng parked the Bugatti on the side of the road. Wang Hao got out of the car with his luggage. Looking at the impressive school gate, he couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought that someone with grades like mine could come to study in Kyoto..."
Han Feng rested one hand on the steering wheel and said calmly, "School is just the starting point, not the end."
Wang Hao scratched his head, then suddenly lowered his voice: "Seriously, how about I borrow that Ferrari for a couple of days? Just two days!"
Han Feng glanced at him: "How many times did you take the driving test (Part 2)?"
Wang Hao: "...three times."
"No way."
Wang Hao let out a wail, then grinned and leaned closer: "Then you have to take me for a drive this weekend! I heard that Kyoto University is full of beautiful girls."
Han Feng looked at Wang Hao's chin, which was practically dripping with saliva: "Stop gossiping and read more books."
"Tch, stop pretending to be so serious." Wang Hao patted the car window. "By the way, you really won't let me stay at your place? The dorms are definitely not as nice as your big villa!"
Han Feng shook his head: "Whatever you want, call me anytime you want."
Wang Hao hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Forget it, it's the beginning of the semester, I should get to know my classmates first. But I'll definitely come over for a meal this weekend!"
Watching Wang Hao drag his luggage into the campus, Han Feng stepped on the gas, and the Bugatti's engine roared.
All the way there, Han Feng thought to himself: I can finally see you---Liu Mengran!
System Zero suddenly spoke up: "Host's heart rate increased by 12%, emotional fluctuation detected - keyword 'Liu Mengran'."
Han Feng: "...Have you been too free lately?"
Zero: "Tch, I just wanted to remind you, that's all."
Kyoto University, Administration Building.
There was a knock on the door of Principal Zhou Mingyuan's office. When Han Feng pushed the door open, the refined scholar was making tea.
"Han!" Zhou Mingyuan stood up enthusiastically, "We've been waiting for you!"
Han Feng shook hands politely, his gaze sweeping across the office.
“Han, your enrollment information is completely confidential, so you haven’t chosen a major yet. Why don’t you decide today so I can have someone make the arrangements?” Zhou Mingyuan said.
At this point, zero began to play its part:
Ding! New semester option task triggered!
[Option 1] Choose Finance (Reward: Business Insight +1)
[Option 2] Choose Computer Science (Bonus: Hacking Expertise)
[Option 3] Use the "Option Synthesis" function (requires 1 prediction point)
Han Feng said to Zero, "Hey, system, can you find out Liu Mengran's major?"
"That's a secret. This system doesn't want to tell you."
"You son of a bitch..."
After thinking for a moment, Han Feng had a flash of inspiration. Judging from Ling's usual behavior, perhaps after this synthesis option, a major related to Liu Mengran would appear.
With that in mind, Han Feng eagerly chose option 3.
Zero's disdainful voice came again: "So you're trying to exploit a system bug with me, huh? Well, I won't let you have your way."
Synthesis successful! New option activated!
Special option: Inquire about Liu Mengran's major and enter that major. Reward: Life Potion. Effect: Effectively blocks one fatal attack.
Han Feng clicked his tongue: Good heavens, isn't this just pointless fuss? I'll have to ask Zhou Mingyuan myself.
"Principal Zhou," Han Feng put down his teacup, his tone casual, "I'd like to know what Liu Mengran's major is?"
Zhou Mingyuan pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, "Liu Mengran? Is she also a freshman?"
"Hmm." Han Feng said without changing his expression, "It should be."
"I'll have someone check it out. Please wait a moment."
After finishing his call, Zhou Mingyuan told Han Feng, "Liu Mengran chose finance as her major."
"Then Principal Zhou, please get me into the finance major too. I happen to own an investment company," Han Feng said without changing his expression.
Zhou Mingyuan's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
Han Feng nodded slightly, but memories of his past life surfaced in his mind—Liu Mengran, who had given up her family for him and shielded him from a bullet. In this life, he would never let her be alone again.
Soon after, Han Feng arrived at the registration point of the Department of Economics and Management. As soon as he finished the formalities, he heard a commotion among the students around him.
"Look! Another supercar!"
"What's going on today? A Ferrari this morning, and now a Bugatti?"
"I heard the woman driving the Ferrari is a red-haired beauty, and she parked it right in front of the teaching building!"
Han Feng didn't need to guess to know who it was—Su Wanwan must have stirred up some trouble again.
He was about to leave when suddenly all the noise receded like a receding tide.
The crowd parted automatically, and a slender figure walked slowly towards them—it was Liu Mengran.
She wore a simple white dress, her black hair cascaded down her back, her skin was as white as snow, and the beauty mark at the corner of her left eye was faintly visible in the sunlight. Everything around her seemed to become background; only she stood out starkly.
Han Feng's breath hitched slightly.
Liu Mengran seemed to sense something and looked up in Han Feng's direction.
