Yu Manxi’s matter sank into the ocean, and it didn’t make the slightest splash. She was busy studying for her exam and didn’t care about the news online.

The examination venue was far away from the Software Garden, in a certain university on the other side of the capital. Fu Sinian had helped book a hotel for her. She had packed her luggage and books to prepare for the exam two days ago, but she didn’t let him follow her.

This made Fu Sinian feel a little frustrated. Isn’t it good for me to take care of you?

Yu Manxi had her own considerations. She had been so busy with her exam recently that she barely took a shower every day. She hadn’t washed her hair for a few days, so she was sloppy and too embarrassed to see him.

Meanwhile, Song Fengwan was busy participating in the design competition. She handed in her draft, but she was dissatisfied and told the senior in charge that she would give up her qualifications.

The senior looked confused.

The entire school could participate in the design competition, not only the first-years of the art school. The design draft she submitted was definitely a top-notch work among the drafts he had seen.

She had modeled it after the traditional hornless dragon tiger. It was magnificent and imposing, completely unlike the brushstrokes of a young girl. The strokes were experienced, sharp, and exquisite.

The deadline for the submission of the design drafts was over, and the Design Club arranged a gathering mainly to welcome the new students.

The senior in charge passed all the information of the registered students and their submitted drafts to Gao Xue. As they were arranged according to the department and student ID number, Gao Xue saw at a glance that Song Fengwan’s was not among them.

“You participated too?”

The boy tugged at his hair. “Just giving it a try.”

“Song Fengwan didn’t participate?” She was a little surprised.

“She originally participated, but she abstained later. The draft she submitted was quite good.”

“Do you have her draft?” Gao Xue smiled. “She used to be my student, and she’s a rare and malleable talent. If we nurture her well, she will definitely have great achievements in the future.”

“I don’t have the draft, but I took a photo of it. She’s quite impressive.” They were both students, and since he had managed to get to his position, his abilities were naturally not bad. But he would definitely feel sour hearing the teachers praise another person all the time.

“Then, show me the photo you took later. I want to know why she didn’t participate in the competition.”

“Okay.”

Soon, Gao Xue received a photo of Song Fengwan’s design drawing. It was unexpectedly good. She also looked through the designs of many students, many of whom were too immature and obviously not as good as hers. Her work could have entered the finals.

Why didn’t she participate in the competition?

Her gaze landed on the design she was about to exhibit. It was actually somewhat similar to the hornless dragon tiger drawing.

Gao Xue took a deep breath and gripped her phone tightly.

The news that the teachers of the art school liked Song Fengwan and wanted to focus on nurturing her had spread like wildfire.

Many professors in the art school were famous people in the industry. If anyone could gain their favor, with their recommendation, it wouldn’t be difficult to find a good job after graduating. A first-year whom the professors had praised many times naturally became a celebrity in the art school.

There was a lot of jealousy.

Miao Yating and Song Fengwan were not in the same class. But in her class, Song Fengwan was the one people discussed the most every day.

***

Song Fengwan didn’t take it to heart. She was changing her clothes and preparing to attend the Design Club’s gathering.

This was the club’s first gathering together. If she didn’t go, she would become very unpopular. Many people would probably say that she was arrogant.

When she arrived at the private room, the four round tables were almost full. The familiar faces were a few senior students in charge of the design competition.

“Song Fengwan.” Someone suddenly called her.

She looked over and unexpectedly saw Xu Jingcheng.

After the new members entered the club, they had only held a meeting once. At the time, Xu Jingcheng wasn’t there.

“Your vice president and I are in the same dormitory. I’m just here to freeload.” Xu Jingcheng had been threatened by Fu Chen last time, so he didn’t dare to be rash.

This girl’s boyfriend could eat people.

Song Fengwan smiled and sat beside him. On the other side was a girl who was also a first-year and majoring in biochemistry.

The two of them only spoke a few words, but it caused some people to kick up a fuss.

“Xu Jingcheng, I’ve never seen you be so enthusiastic about any girl before. Do you like this junior?”

“Yeah, they’re a perfect match.”

…

Everyone’s teasing made Xu Jingcheng’s face pale in fright.

“No, we went to the same high school, and we were classmates. She has a boyfriend. Don’t spout nonsense. I’ll be beaten up.” Xu Jingcheng was telling the truth.

Everyone laughed.

They all thought that Xu Jingcheng was joking when he said he would be beaten up.

“Junior, you have a boyfriend?” No one believed her.

Ever since Wu Yuxin fell from her pedestal, Song Fengwan had become the object of many boys’ crush. She had just entered university, so how could she possibly have a boyfriend? No one had seen her with the opposite sex either.

“Impossible! So fast!”

Song Fengwan smiled and nodded. “I have a boyfriend. We got together in high school.”

Tonight, many boys were eager to hit on her. Upon hearing this, they instantly gave up.

“Junior, you’re not lying to us, are you? Do you really have a boyfriend?”

“Really. We’ve been together for a long time,” Song Fengwan said firmly, not seeming to be lying. At this moment, her phone vibrated. “Sorry, it’s my boyfriend.”

The sweetness on her face didn’t look like she was lying.

Many boys looked at each other with hatred in their hearts.

What evil person tempted her to fall in love early when she was in high school?

He didn’t leave them any chance at all. This person was too fast.

“Xu Jingcheng, does she really have a boyfriend? You’re not lying to us, are you?”

Xu Jingcheng was speechless. “She really has a boyfriend, and he’s very fierce and powerful.” Otherwise, I would have made a move long ago. How could it be your turn?

He had already been intimidated twice. Now that he thought about it, there was still a faint chill on his back.

“Beauty and the beast?”

“No, he’s quite handsome.” Xu Jingcheng didn’t deny that Fu Chen was impeccable.

“Then, there’s even less of a chance…”

…

Most of the people in Beijing University were boys, so during the club gathering, it was inevitable that there would be toasting at the dining tables. Song Fengwan kept saying that she didn’t want to drink, but in the end, she had no choice but to drink a little.

During the latter half of the gathering, she felt a little dizzy. The alcohol at student gatherings wasn’t good, so it was easy to get drunk.

She grabbed her bag and got up to leave.

“Where are you going?” Xu Jingcheng was also a little drunk.

“The restroom.” Song Fengwan’s head felt a little swollen. Now that the group of people were drinking and had yet to have their fill, she planned to slip away in advance.

The gathering place the club chose was still a distance away from the dormitory. Hu Xinyue had sent her a message earlier, saying that her club gathering had ended. If it was too late, she and Miao Yating could pick her up.

While walking, she took out her phone and called Hu Xinyue.

It was Friday today, so there was no evening self-study. Hu Xinyue was sitting on her bed, eating and watching a drama. When she saw the caller ID, she hurriedly wiped her hands. “Hey, Wanwan…”

“Are you free now?” Her voice was a little unsteady. She had obviously drunk alcohol.

“You drank too much. I know where your gathering is. Wait for me at the door. Yating and I will pick you up.”

“Okay.”

Song Fengwan felt that there was a double image of everything in front of her. Someone passed by her side. She carefully avoided them and was caught off guard when she bumped into someone’s embrace.

“Oh…” She subconsciously wanted to dodge, but a pair of warm hands reached out and wrapped around her body.

“How much did you drink?” The man’s voice was very low and landed beside her ear. It was gentle and affectionate, making her heart itch…

Song Fengwan tried her best to open her eyes and see the person in front of her clearly. The double image gathered to reveal a very familiar figure. She suddenly grinned. “Why are you here?”

“Didn’t you say you wanted to see me?”

Song Fengwan had been busy drawing design drawings these few days until late at night. She hadn’t seen Fu Chen for two days, and she had said she missed him…

Then he came.

Song Fengwan raised her little face and pressed her entire body against him. Under the warm lighting, her fair face was unnaturally red, and her phoenix eyes were innocent.

She made him feel like committing a crime.

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and pecked her lips.

The apple-flavored lip balm mixed with the spiciness of the alcohol stimulated his five senses.

“Huh?” Song Fengwan suddenly reached out to pinch his face. “Are you really Third Brother?”

Qian Jiang and Shi Fang were standing not far away. They couldn’t help laughing out loud as they watched Third Master’s face change into various shapes at the fingertips of a certain young lady.

Ever since they started following Fu Chen, they had never seen anyone dare to do anything rash on his face. She was rubbing it flat and round. Miss Song, are you serious?

“Oh…” After Song Fengwan ravaged Fu Chen’s face, her fingers landed on his high nose bridge, and she couldn’t help laughing out loud. “It looks good.”

Actually, Fu Chen’s nose bridge wasn’t very high, but his facial features were well matched, looking handsome and perfect.

“Do you like it?” Fu Chen and Song Fengwan had already walked to a relatively remote place.

Fu Chen pressed her against the wall, lowered his head, and slowly approached her.

She had drunk some alcohol, so her mouth was tender and glistening with an alluring luster. She opened and closed her mouth like a silent invitation.

“Wanwan, do you like it?” He started coaxing her with his deep and hoarse voice again.

“I like it.” Song Fengwan’s soft body leaned against him, and even her voice was utterly soft.

“If you like it, kiss me…” Fu Chen coaxed her.

The two of them had been dating for a long time, but Song Fengwan was still a little passive in certain matters and couldn’t let herself go. When she was drunk though, it was easy for her to take the initiative.

Song Fengwan looked up and whined unhappily, “I can’t reach~”

Fu Chen let out a low laugh. He leaned down until their eyes were level. She took the initiative to wrap her arms around Fu Chen’s neck. Perhaps because she had drunk alcohol, the spiciness was stimulating, and her mouth was dry. She actually took the initiative to stretch out her little tongue and lick his lips twice…

He originally had the thought of teasing her. But at this moment, his throat was dry and tight, and a small beast was banging around in his heart.

“If you continue like this, I won’t be able to stop.” Fu Chen touched her hair. His lips were parted, and his eyes were dark.

“Mmph—” Halfway through the kiss, it suddenly disappeared. She was slightly displeased.

“Shall we go out first?” Fu Chen helped her outside.

This was an ordinary small restaurant. Now, there was only a lady boss sitting at the cashier waiting for the gathering in the private room to end. Most of the people who came here were university students, so it was not strange for men and women to hug here.

She just felt that these two people looked good, so she couldn’t help taking a few more glances at them.

“Where are you taking me?” Song Fengwan looked up at Fu Chen.

“Let’s go out first.”

“Don’t tell me you want to take me to a hotel again…”

Again? Fu Chen frowned. What kind of person does this girl think I am?

When the lady boss heard their conversation, she looked at them in surprise.

***

When Hu Xinyue and Miao Yating rushed to the restaurant, there was no one at the door.

“Auntie, is there anyone else inside?” Hu Xinyue asked.

The lady boss glanced at them. “There’s still a group of people left.”

“Let’s go take a look.”

They were all students, so the lady boss didn’t care. When the two of them arrived at the private room, the people inside were already drunk. They only found out that Song Fengwan had gone to the restroom after asking around.

The two of them rushed to the restroom, but there was still no one there. They searched almost all the private rooms, but they didn’t see Song Fengwan, and no one answered her phone.

The two of them were immediately anxious. They went to the lady boss, took out Song Fengwan’s photo, and asked if she saw her.

“Boss, have you seen her? Did she go out?”

The lady boss took a look. “She left earlier.”

“She left?” Hu Xinyue was surprised. “When did she leave?”

“About ten minutes ago. She seemed to have drunk too much and was helped out by a man. She even said that they were going to a hotel. You can go to a nearby hotel to look for her.” It was not rare for university students to get a room.

“A man? What kind?”

“He’s slim, tall, and very handsome.” The boss was stuck for words and could only describe him like this. “Isn’t he a student?”

Fu Chen had dressed simply today. He was wearing a white shirt and a classic black trench coat, and his face didn’t seem like he had entered society at all. Moreover, many young people nowadays had a much more mature face than their age.

“Xinyue, what should we do?” Miao Yating instantly panicked. “Who took her away?”

The reason the two of them came to pick her up was that they knew many boys liked her, and they were afraid that something would happen if she drank a little.

“Don’t be anxious. Let’s go look for her outside first. I’ll call her boyfriend.” The first time Hu Xinyue and Fu Chen had met, he had given her his phone number.

When Fu Chen’s phone rang, he was a little surprised to see that it was Hu Xinyue.

“Hey.”

“Mr. Fu, something happened to Wanwan.” Hu Xinyue’s voice was trembling slightly. She was only a half-grown child and had never encountered such a thing before, so she was flustered.

Fu Chen looked at the person in his arms. “Huh?”

“She was taken away by a strange man, and he even wants to take her to a hotel. F*ck, which pervert is this? He’s worse than a beast. He attacked a drunk young lady. Come over quickly.

“I’m going to call the police. If I catch that bastard…

“I must kill him. How can there be such a despicable and shameless person?”

Fu Chen’s face darkened. “You…”

“Mr. Fu, I’m sorry. I didn’t take good care of Wanwan.” Hu Xinyue was the oldest in the dormitory. She had a simple and straightforward personality and always played the role of an elder sister. At the side, Miao Yating was so scared and anxious that her eyes were red.

“That despicable and shameless person might be me..” Fu Chen’s voice was low, as if he was trying his best to restrain something.
