After the cold and indifferent figure of Leng Ruxue disappeared, Wu Yang didn't say a word and threw the school rules and class schedule into the trash can outside the door. He came to Hengdong University not to study, but to kill time—oh no, to fulfill a brother's promise, secretly protecting Li Xiaoling for three years. After three years, everyone goes their separate ways, who the hell still knows who anyone is? ... 'Forget it, a good man doesn't fight with women, I'll endure it,' Wu Yang spat fiercely into the trash can, then turned and left the Academic Affairs Office, wandering around the campus aimlessly. Of course, what's called wandering is actually observing the terrain with a 'professional' eye. If possible, he also wanted to take the opportunity to find out which class Li Xiaoling was in, which vibrant clubs she joined, and which classroom she often went to... 'Eh? Is that you? How come you're here?' A voice full of surprise sounded beside his ear, and Wu Yang suddenly turned his head to find that he had somehow walked up to a beautiful girl. This beauty was not only pleasing to the eye but also looked very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before. 'Don't you remember me? On the bus, yes, that's right, on the bus back to the city yesterday, we were sitting next to each other!' Seeing Wu Yang staring at her blankly, the beauty deliberately made a very hurt expression and said with a grin. 'So it's you?' Isn't it the same haughty girl who sat next to me on the bus yesterday? 'What? Are you also a student at Hengdong University?'

It was a relief to encounter an acquaintance, and since Wu Yang had nothing much to do at the moment, he decided to stop and strike up a conversation with the beautiful woman. Perhaps because she had witnessed Wu Yang's impressive skills on the long-distance bus, the woman was not as indifferent as she had been the day before on the bus. Her attitude took a 180-degree turn, and she was even more enthusiastic than he was. It was also through their chat that Wu Yang learned the woman's name was Jiang Leye, a sophomore at Hengdong University, and coincidentally, she was also majoring in Economic Management, just in a different class. Jiang Leye was in Class Three of the Economic Management department, while Wu Yang was in Class Five. "I can't believe it, the anonymous hero who did good deeds without leaving a name and saved a whole busload of people yesterday turns out to be my classmate." After finding out that Wu Yang was her classmate, Jiang Leye's eyes lit up with smiles, and then she asked with a hint of confusion, "By the way, Brother Wu, since we're all in the same department, why didn't I seem to have seen you around before?" Wu Yang didn't want to mention his 'transfer student' status, so he just laughed it off and said, "Well, I'm not some outstandingly handsome guy, and besides, there are so many people in one department, how could you notice me? By the way, are you heading to class or..." "Oh, Brother Wu, I almost forgot because of you! I've made plans to have lunch with a classmate. Why don't you join us? I haven't had the chance to thank you for yesterday's incident!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yueyue's words, Wu Yang finally noticed that as he had been wandering around the university campus, it was already late afternoon. Indeed, he felt a bit hungry, and since he also wanted to learn more about Li Xiaoling from Jiang Yueyue, he hesitated for a moment before readily agreeing. Seeing Wu Yang nod, Jiang Yueyue became even more excited, quickly pulled out her phone, and rattled off a string of words into it, then hung up and excitedly said to Wu Yang, 'Brother Wu, you're in for a treat. Today happens to be the day when one of my wealthy senior classmates is treating everyone. He said he's going to take us to a great place we've never been to for a big meal. I've already told them to add one more person, so let's go, they're already waiting for me outside.' The two of them eagerly left the school gate and indeed saw, in the open-air parking lot outside the campus, four or five cars with their doors half-open waiting there. These cars were no ordinary vehicles, all high-end sports cars, three Porsches, one Ferrari, and the remaining one was an Aston Martin in a dreamy blue color that Wu Yang never thought he would encounter at this time. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. As the daughter of the director of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, Li Xiaoling's classmates were undoubtedly from wealthy and prestigious families. This was indeed the case. After Jiang Yueyue's introduction, Wu Yang learned that the three male classmates driving Porsches were all from families involved in real estate business. Several well-known properties in Guangcheng were developed by their fathers themselves, and their family assets were at least several hundred million. As for the guy driving the Ferrari, his background was even more intimidating. Beyond these external conditions, this young man's 'hardware' was also quite impressive.

At a height of one meter eighty, with handsome and deep facial features, a head of messy, flowing hair that was both elegant and unrestrained, the most distinctive feature was the circle of stubble on his lips, deliberately grown to mimic the male leads in Korean dramas, which indeed gave off a sense of poignant vicissitudes. This fellow's name was Xiang Hai, clearly the big brother figure in this small circle. The other male students looked at him with a hint of awe and flattery in their eyes, and even Li Xiaoling, who usually acted like a proud swan in front of Wu Yang, couldn't help but admire and adore him when her beautiful eyes fell on Xiang Hai. At this moment, through the introduction of Jiang Yueyue, Xiang Hai and the others came up to shake hands with Wu Yang, exchanging a few casual pleasantries. Although their behavior was so insincere that even a blind man could see through it, at least there was nothing visibly wrong on the surface. As for Li Xiaoling, ever since she saw Wu Yang appear, she had been keeping a cold face, deliberately turning her head away, completely treating him as if he were thin air. To this, Wu Yang simply smiled and let it be, neither taking the initiative to strike up a conversation nor pointing out their relationship in public. Li Xiaoling regarded him as worthless trash, not knowing that in his eyes, the noble and cold Li Xiaoling was no different from any ordinary "thing." Everything he was doing now was merely following his own principles and fulfilling the promise made to his good brother in the past. "Alright, it's getting late. The place we're going today is not ordinary. If we're late, we might not even get a spot. Everyone, hurry up and get in the car!"

Seeing that everyone had already gotten acquainted, as the leading figure of this small circle, Xiang Hai waved his hand grandly, ready to signal everyone to get in their cars and leave. However, at this moment, an awkward problem arose. In the three Porsches, aside from the male drivers, there was a female student with considerable charm sitting in the passenger seat, and judging by their intimate gestures, it was clear they did not wish for outsiders to join them. On the other hand, Xiang Hai's Ferrari and Li Xiaoling's Aston Martin were both without passengers. But everyone knew that Xiang Hai was famously aloof; it was no problem for him to invite Jiang Yueyue to ride in his car, as had been the original plan. But asking Wu Yang, a male student who had only just met less than two minutes ago, to get into his car was as unlikely as a fairy tale.
