From afar, they would already see the building of the university. Ying Sheng stared at it with uncertainty in her eyes as she began to think if she could do well in school.

Looking at her from the corner of his eye, Liam gave Ying Sheng a small smile as he continued driving, encouraging her at the same time.

”You take it easy. Today is the first day of classes after all,” he said, Ying Sheng, nodding as she checked her backpack to see if everything that she needed were there.

Her notebook binder was there, a pen, a bottle of water–everything that she needed was already prepared inside by Liam.

The car then stopped in front of the university gate, Ying Sheng already unbuckling herself from her seat. Liam then got off the car to open the car door for Ying Sheng. The moment she was out, the two stood for a while as they stared at each other before Ying Sheng goes to class.

”Call me or give me a message after your classes, alright? I’ll pick you up by then.”

”En.” Ying Sheng smiled, tiptoeing a little to give Liam a swift kiss on the cheek. “I will. Don’t think of me much, alright?” She winked at him teasingly, Liam grinning at her remark.

”I’ll see you later.”

With that, Ying Sheng nodded. She then walked inside the university gate, swiping her ID on the scanner for her entrance. The moment Liam saw that she is now inside, he entered his car then drove off.

Ying Sheng got her phone from her pocket. As pretty and attractive as she is, all eyes were on her as she continued walking, browsing her phone at the same time.

Her hair was in a ponytail, and she wore a plain pink shirt tucked in her blue jeans. Her sneakers complemented her clothing, which made her look younger than her usual age.

Ying Sheng’s outfit was simple, yet she was still the center of attraction.

As she continued browsing her phone for the latest news, she accidentally bumped into someone, making her books fall on the ground.

”Ah! Watch where you’re going!”

”Oh! I’m so sorry.”

Ying Sheng immediately kept her phone in her pocket. She bent down to pick up the girl’s books as the girl that she bumped scoffed at her, the other students watching from afar as Ying Sheng picked up her books.

”Ah, what bad luck…”

”Of all the people she could bump into, she bumped the campus’ pretty bitch.”

”Knowing her, she would ‘bitch’ about this.”

”Let’s steer clear away as possible. I don’t want to be involved in this.”

Hearing this, Ying Sheng internally rolled her eyes. She thought to herself how this lady could get such a nickname in the university. If what the comments of the other students said were true, then she better be avoiding her.

Besides, being involved in issues is one thing Ying Sheng would want to avoid.

To her, it is such a waste of time.

Ying Sheng stood up. She extended both of her hands to give the girl her books.

”Here. Sorry for bumping into–“

But the girl in front of Ying Sheng swiped her arm in front of Ying Sheng, purposely making the books fall on the ground once more.

Ying Sheng’s eyes widened in shock as the girl in front of her raised a brow at her. The lips of the “pretty bitch” curled into a smirk as she stared at Ying Sheng, feeling all high and mighty.

”You deserve that. Pick it up again.”

Scoffing, Ying Sheng rolled her eyes at her. She bent down as she quickly picked up her books, walked up towards her, then harshly shoved it on her chest.

”Ouch! You–“

”You deserve that, too. Now stop being such a child, ‘Pretty Bitch’.”

Ying Sheng started walking away. The other students who have seen this laughed, making the campus Pretty Bitch feel instantly embarrassed. She then shoved her books to her friend, then quickly walked to hold Ying Sheng by the wrist.

”How dare you turn your back and walk away from me!? Don’t you know who I am? Who are you to act this way?!”

Ying Sheng couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the woman in front of her. She smirked as well. She felt like instead of being called the pretty bitch, she is worthy of being called a clown as well.

”And who are you to act this way? Don’t be such a clown. No one deserves to be bullied by you–or by anyone in general.”

Ying Sheng shook her hand away from her. The pretty bitch gritted her teeth as she glared at her that if looks could kill, she would have murdered Ying Sheng.

”Why you!”

As she was about to raise her hand to slap Ying Sheng, a handsome man had immediately stepped in between them, making the girl hit his hard chest instead.

There were gasps heard from the crowd, and the look on the girl’s face suddenly changed into a look of embarrassment and, at the same time, fear.

”H-Han Zigao! I’m so sorry!”

The man in front of Ying Sheng stared at the pretty bitch nonchalantly. She suddenly turned into a little kitten–a complete opposite of the fierce image she showed a while ago.

”Everyone, mind your own business.”

With his deep, sultry voice resounding in the campus, Han Zigao looked at everyone. The moment he did, the other students started averting their gazes, and the others walked away, too. He then held Ying Sheng’s hand, surprising her as he started walking away.

”N-no way! Han Zigao is known to be the campus’s quiet, aloof hottie! I thought he had no interest in girls!”

”But the girl he pulled with him seemed to be in a daze… does she know him?”

”Haven’t you heard? He said to mind our own business!”

Furrowing her brows, Ying Sheng instantly stopped in her tracks, making Han Zigao stop as well. She got her hand from him as she eyed him suspiciously, unsure of why he rescued her.

”Oh. I’m sorry,” Han Zigao apologized, scratching the back of his head. “The name’s Han Zigao.”

”So I heard,” Ying Sheng said flatly, Han Zigao scratching the back of his head awkwardly.

”I should have introduced myself to you earlier, but with the situation, I had to step in. I’m sorry.”

”It’s okay. Thanks.”

When Ying Sheng was about to walk away, Han Zigao took another step in front of her, making the woman raise a brow at her.

”Excuse me?”

”I’m sorry. I should have told you earlier that I am Liam’s cousin.”

”Oh?” Hearing this, Ying Sheng loosened her uptight attitude. “He told you that I was coming?”

”Yeah,” Han Zigao nodded, “He even showed me a picture, so I instantly recognized you.”

”Oh!” Ying Sheng awkwardly laughed, “Liam shouldn’t have… I feel slightly embarrassed. Thanks for the help, anyway.”

”No problem. My cousin spoke about you a lot, so I hope we could be friends.”

Ying Sheng nodded as she extended her hand to give him a handshake, starting their friendship.

The two then continued walking inside the campus, Han Zigao walking her to her classroom after promising her to give her a tour.

Before entering the classroom, Ying Sheng smiled at Han Zigao and spoke, before going their seperate ways.

”You may come with us later after class and we could hang out?”

”Sure!” Han Zigao only smiled to people whom he felt like it. “I’ll text my cousin, too, saying I’d join.”

The two already said their goodbyes. The student who knew who Han Zigao is were surprised to have seen him talking to someone when he was always usually alone.
