Chapter 5: I'm so dizzy from his handsomeness! I'll never attend a diploma mill again!
Xia Mian was almost dizzy from Fu Yanshen's handsomeness.
Chief Fu actually smiled at her?
She didn't see wrong, did she?
Even after swaying all the way to the restaurant and sitting down, Xia Mian was still a little dizzy.
Madam Fu got up early and had already finished a set of Tai Chi. She had just taken a shower, changed into a dry set of home clothes, and sat down next to Xia Mian.
"Good morning, Mianmian."
"Grandma, you look so cool when you do Tai Chi." Xia Mian genuinely liked Madam Fu and treated her as her closest elder.
"You're getting old, you can't go without exercise." Madam Fu served Xia Mian a bowl of soup. "Tell Grandma if you have any dietary restrictions, and Grandma will ask the kitchen staff to be careful when cooking."
"No, I'm not a picky eater." Xia Mian looked at Madam Fu with bright eyes. Grandma is so thoughtful, even paying attention to her tastes.
A man in a crisp military uniform strode to sit down at the dining table, his long legs conveying a captivatingly handsome face devoid of expression.
With graceful movements, he picked up a small steamed bun with his chopsticks, and just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he paused slightly and placed the bun in front of Madam Fu, saying, "Grandma, eat."
Then.
He then casually picked up a small steamed bun and placed it in front of Xia Mian, saying, "Miss Xia, please have some too."
Madam Fu had a feeling that her grandson had put xiaolongbao on the table for the whole table just so that only one person would have it.
Although she was the only old lady at the table, alas, her grandson was too young to stay at home!
As Xia Mian ate her xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), she realized that she hadn't seen Fu Yanshen's two twin brothers since last night.
She asked curiously, "Grandma, aren't the others coming over for breakfast?"
"My aunt and uncle live in their own courtyard. Yanqing and Yanxuan, those two rascals, went abroad for their graduation trip and won't be back until the day after tomorrow," Madam Fu explained with a smile. "Those two rascals are very naughty. They're only three months older than you. Oh, by the way..."
She looked at Fu Yanshen and said, "Today is the day to fill out college applications. Pihou isn't home, so you have to fill them out for them. Don't forget."
"Grandma, don't worry, it won't happen." Fu Yanshen glanced at Xia Mian. "Which school are you applying to?"
"Mingcheng University." In her previous life, Xia Mian learned many skills to survive while fleeing in the no-man's land.
In her past life, she studied clinical medicine at a diploma mill.
To survive, she worked as a singer in bars, a backup dancer, and learned many musical instruments from a poor old artist.
Mingcheng University is a comprehensive university, an awe-inspiring academic institution that has nurtured countless talents.
It not only ranks highly in the country, but also boasts a wide range of majors, including medicine and music.
She wants to study medicine and minor in music in her life.
She wants to get two degrees!
Fu Yanshen stared at her radiant face as she talked about choosing a university, and remembered that in her previous life she had attended a disgusting, low-quality university.
It's no surprise that it was all thanks to her bedbug brothers.
Xia Mian didn't know why the man's expression had changed.
She swallowed hard. Could it be that he thought she was overestimating herself by applying to Mingcheng University?
After breakfast, Fu Yanshen did not go to the army base immediately, but took Xia Mian directly to the study.
Xia Mian followed behind the man, watching his straight back and the way he walked.
It reminds me of those bloggers who went viral on short video platforms, filming their "three-step swaying" walk, each step seemingly effortless!
The images typically feature the backs of soldiers, firefighters, or traffic police in military uniforms, accompanied by the background music of the popular online bass-heavy "All Things Grow" version.
So alluring! Absolutely captivating!
She felt that Fu Yanshen's walk in military uniform was more impressive than the back view in those short videos!
The strong waist wrapped in military uniform clearly shows that he has extremely strong core and abdominal strength!
For some reason, she had already automatically associated Fu Yanshen with the phrase "all things grow".
Her mind was wandering elsewhere, and she had already stepped into the study.
The study exudes an antique charm, with bookshelves reaching the ceiling and books neatly arranged in categories, much like a bookstore.
Fu Yanshen turned on his computer and then made an inviting gesture, "You go first."
Xia Mian did not refuse politely and immediately sat down in front of the computer to enter her password and information.
After logging in, she changed her password immediately.
In her past life, she was completely unguarded, allowing her brothers to access her password and change her college application choices.
She will never repeat the same mistake in her life.
She breathed a sigh of relief and got up after filling out her college application.
Whether it was because she was too tense or something else, her legs suddenly gave way and she fell to the ground.
Before she could even scream, a long, strong hand gripped her slender waist, and the next second she fell into a broad embrace.
Her nose bumped into his chest, which was as hard as a wall, and she cried out in pain, raising her hand to rub the tip of her nose.
Tears welled up from the pain.
"How can you be so hard!"
She looked up, her nose red, tears still welling in her eyes, completely unaware that her words were ambiguous.
Fu Yanshen recoiled as if he had been burned, abruptly withdrawing his large hand.
His ears felt like they were being roasted, his Adam's apple bobbed rapidly, and his eyes were deep and thoughtful.
"Can you just say things like that so casually?"
He gazed at the girl's pretty face, her elegant demeanor, her bright eyes, and her moist lips, which seemed like morning dew waiting to be picked.
Fu Yanshen felt a tightness in his chest, as if he were holding a raging beast that was about to burst out of the dam and was about to go out of control at any moment!
He twisted his neck, felt hot, tugged at his collar, turned around, and strode out of the study.
Xia Mian stood there, stunned. What was wrong with him? Was he angry?
She's right. His chest is as hard as a brick, and he won't let anyone say anything!
The man walked through the corridor and into the courtyard. The morning breeze lifted the hair on his forehead, and he exhaled a long breath, as if the heat in his chest had been blown away.
He felt that he, who had always been upright and honest, was like a damp, sinister ghost lurking in a dark corner, spying on everything about her. He despised himself for this, yet he couldn't help being attracted to her.
She opened her large hand, and there lay a strand of hair that had fallen from her body in her palm.
He gently pressed the soft strand of hair against his cheek, his eyes unconsciously narrowing slightly...
...
Xia Family Villa.
Lu Lian'er bit her lip lightly, "Has my sister become estranged from us? It's been two days, and we still can't get through to her on the phone."
She was eager to know what college Xia Mian had applied for.
Xia Mian is academically excellent and beautiful; with just a little dressing up, she can easily outshine Lu Lian'er.
Lu Lian'er felt like she was sitting on pins and needles whenever she thought of Xia Mian's overwhelming beauty.
If Xia Mian also applies to Mingcheng University and studies at the same school as her, then my little trick of using nude makeup won't be enough to fool anyone.
We absolutely cannot let Xia Mian apply to the same university as her!
"Big brother, I'm so worried about sister. What if she runs into bad people?" Lu Lian'er reached out and shook Xia Qinglin's arm. "Can you send someone to look for her?"
"What bad people did she encounter? Didn't she run away with someone?" Xia Qinglin got angry as soon as he heard Xia Mian's name. "If she left, she shouldn't have come back."
"But brother, today is the day to fill out college applications. What if she applies to a bad university? Wouldn't that ruin her life? It would be better if we gave her some advice."
Lu Lian'er spoke with genuine concern for Xia Mian's well-being. "I think the university next to Mingcheng University is quite good. It's close to home and would be suitable for you, sister."
