Lin Xinyuan finally understood completely.
She had only done that one bad thing with Qin Nanfeng, and it was so long ago. How on earth did her mom find out?
Thinking about it, Lin Xinyuan felt a wave of heat rising up, making her so embarrassed her whole body trembled slightly. Fortunately, she managed to hold it back.
Her little face couldn’t help but blush. She calmed her mind a bit, then pulled her suitcase and continued towards the school gate.
Actually, in the past two days, aside from this year’s new students, the other grades had already started returning to campus.
She had just booked her ticket late and coincidentally arrived on the same day as the new students’ enrollment. The school gate was already packed.
Lin Xinyuan kept her head slightly lowered as she walked back to the dormitory.
But, very unfortunately, she hadn’t even taken a few steps before someone called out to her…
The boy was very excited today. Through his own hard work, he had finally been admitted to this top-tier national university.
Thinking about the future university life, no longer as dull and boring as before, he was full of anticipation. He even had a feeling that today, he would definitely encounter love!
Right now, he was standing by the roadside. The senior student who was supposed to take him to the dormitory had gone to a nearby restroom, so he was told to wait here for a bit.
Just as he was looking at his phone to kill time, he noticed a figure passing by not far away.
He subconsciously lifted his gaze to take a look. But with just that one glance, his attention was completely captured, unable to look away.
So… so beautiful…
The boy stared somewhat dazedly at the figure walking past him, as if he could smell the fresh scent she carried in the air.
The girl wore a beige floral dress, her hair styled in a simple side ponytail, and a sun hat on her head. Although she kept her head down, her exquisite profile was clearly visible to him.
Her skin was so fair it seemed to glow. Under the sunlight, her entire person seemed to shine brilliantly. It was hard not to attract attention.
‘Mom… your son is about to fall in love…’
At this moment, the boy truly felt his intuition was working. He had finally met his destined love.
He didn’t even notice the looks some people were giving the girl. He walked over almost unconsciously, even leaving his luggage behind, abandoned right there.
At first, hearing the footsteps behind her, Lin Xinyuan didn’t pay much attention. She just turned her head uneasily and saw a rather tall boy.
“Hello! Can we get to know each other?”
Seeing her look over, the boy’s eyes lit up. He greeted her in a loud, clear voice, brimming with sincerity.
But this self-proclaimed sunny smile immediately startled Lin Xinyuan. She didn’t know what this person wanted.
Her timid, shrinking appearance only made the boy more excited. Thinking she was also a new student, his heart grew even more fervent.
‘So cute!’
He felt like Awei was about to die. He had never seen such a beautiful and cute girl!
His resolve grew firmer. He was also quite confident in his own looks. He thought getting her Green Bubble contact shouldn’t be a problem.
After that, he could take it step by step, slowly warming her up, and then capture her heart completely!
The boy was lost in such fantasies. But by now, Lin Xinyuan had already snapped out of it. Noticing the gazes from the surroundings, she gave the person a stiff but still polite, faint smile.
“Sorry, I have a boyfriend…”
After saying that, she immediately quickened her pace, wanting to get away from this guy.
“Ah?”
The boy was stunned for a moment, then wanted to chase after her.
After all, even though she said she had a boyfriend, he didn’t believe it at all.
Many girls used that as an excuse to reject others. He wouldn’t give up so easily. Such a perfect, cute girl…
Was too rare!
But just then, the voice of the senior student who was helping him with his luggage came from behind, immediately pulling his steps back.
The boy looked left and right, ultimately unwillingly deciding not to chase after her.
It would be too impolite to just abandon the senior student. At the very least, he had to go back and say something…
Thinking this, he walked back quickly. Just as he was about to speak, the senior student’s words interrupted him.
“You know Lin Xinyuan?”
“Huh? No, I don’t! Senior, you know her?” The boy was surprised.
‘What? That girl isn’t a new student?’
‘But so her name is Lin Xinyuan…’
‘What a beautiful name. A beautiful person with a beautiful name…’
The boy thought dazedly in his heart, but his confusion only grew.
“Her? Who in this school doesn’t know her!”
The senior student quickly waved his new junior over, covering his mouth as he whispered, “Come on, let me tell you, stay away from her…”
“Why?”
The boy grew even more puzzled. But glancing around at the furtive looks from some people nearby, he also seemed to sense something was off.
‘Could such a cute girl actually be a man-eating monster?’
“You come a bit closer… I’ll tell you!”
Seeing the other’s mysterious manner, the boy’s curiosity was piqued. After hearing the senior’s account, his face was filled with shock and disbelief.
“She used to be a guy? How is that possible!”
He said this quite loudly, almost attracting the attention of others again. Fortunately, the senior student reacted quickly and pulled him back.
“You! If you want to get into trouble, don’t drag me into it! Besides, she’s considered a girl now… right?”
The senior student looked around nervously, as if afraid a Qin Nanfeng might pop out from somewhere.
The fate of a certain disgraced so-called college beauty was still fresh, the body not yet cold.
Although he felt he himself had no issues, walked the straight and narrow, he was still somewhat afraid…
You know, there’s a legend circulating in the school now!
Those who maliciously speculate about or gossip about that girl are said to be harshly retaliated against by that Qin the Great Romantic.
He heard that before, there was a guy who wasn’t afraid of death, using Lin Xinyuan as a daily topic of conversation.
One night, he said some especially vicious things. The next morning, he was found in front of the boys’ dormitory wearing only his underwear.
He was socially destroyed on the spot and became an even bigger celebrity in the school than Qin Nanfeng.
Anyway, the rumors got wilder and wilder. Things that never happened became true…
Because of this, many people became very tight-lipped about the girl’s affairs. It almost took on the nature of a campus urban legend.
Whether it was true or not, perhaps due to herd mentality, Qin Nanfeng’s impression on many people grew increasingly terrifying. He was no exception.
Seeing the boy still looked confused, the senior student was quite eager to explain.
On the way, while helping carry the luggage and heading towards the boys’ dormitory, he began to explain the whole story.
Gradually, the boy understood the ins and outs of the situation.
For a moment, the boy couldn’t describe what he was feeling. Actually, he didn’t really mind the girl’s past experience. What he cared about was the news that Lin Xinyuan was already taken, and her partner was some big playboy?
‘What a pity…’
The boy sighed inwardly, not sure if he was pitying himself for being too late, or pitying the girl for having such a fickle partner, feeling sorry for her.
‘Sigh! When will us nice guys finally stand up!’
“Ahem… Sorry, junior! I think… we went the wrong way…”
The senior student finally realized he had taken the wrong route, his face instantly full of embarrassment.
“Huh? Ah… We’ve been walking for so long! It’s so hot!”
“Oh dear…”
……
After the start of the semester, the days were gentle and peaceful.
Apart from attending classes, during her free time, the girl would occasionally go out for walks with Li Tang.
This was also because things were different from before.
Whether it was luck, or her efforts finally paying off, her novel was becoming increasingly popular on the platform.
Her royalties were rising faster and faster.
A few days ago, it even made it to the featured recommendations list.
With more money, plus the monthly allowance from her mom, her life naturally became more comfortable.
Compared to her stingy, penny-pinching self from her days as a boy, it could be said she was now rolling in wealth.
Lin Xinyuan strongly suspected it was because of that Yellow-Haired Brat, that her originally non-existent luck had improved!
Otherwise, why would she feel her life becoming easier and more relaxed, without the previous oppression, ever since meeting that guy?
Of course, Lin Xinyuan hadn’t forgotten Grandpa Qin’s instructions.
She bought some pots, bowls, ladles, and spoons online and placed them in the cabin at the South Street Community.
She converted the platform on the balcony, originally used for storing miscellaneous items, into a kitchen.
In her spare time, she would go buy groceries, then go there to practice. It conveniently solved both her learning and eating needs.
She had no classes this morning. Lin Xinyuan suddenly had an idea. She wanted to cook a meal for a certain someone who had been missing for two days.
A loving lunch…
What would Brother Feng’s reaction be?
Walking through the fresh supermarket, the girl couldn’t help but blush at the thought, unconsciously buying a few more ingredients.
But… she didn’t know where that Yellow-Haired Brat’s company was…
‘Ah… Why don’t I just call him?’
