“You!” He was too upset to argue further.

She was somebody who could greatly antagonize him, and yet, this was something that he liked about her. No matter what or when, she was always fearless and daring. If you called her evil, she would go for it, all the way.

“Chenyi…” Lin Qingya tugged at his arm, signaling him to stop the argument.

“I’ll let you win on Qingya’s account!” He took this opportunity to retreat.

“You don’t have to give in to me for her sake. I have nothing to do with her!” The girl did not want Lin Qingya to use their relationship to badmouth her.

“Xiao Huan, I know you’re still angry with me, but I’ve never thought of wanting to be with him. We’ve been bosom friends since we were young. You can’t give up our friendship just like that!” Lin Qingya’s eyes rimmed red as she looked at her.

“Since you’re so good at acting, why don’t you join the department of performing arts? You’re wasting your talent here in the department of medicine. Besides, you aren’t suitable for dry and heavy subjects, and medicine is difficult to start with. Not only do you risk not graduating, but you also may not be able to find a job afterward. Why don’t you transfer to the acting faculty? Who knows, you may win double awards in the future!” Mu Huan gave her a heartfelt piece of advice.

Lin Qingya’s hands that were hiding within her sleeves had tightened into balls of fist by now!

D*mn you, Mu Huan! Are you taking this chance to humiliate me now just because your results are better?!

Who’s looking for a job after finishing school?! I’ll marry into a rich family and be a socialite!

“Little missy, that’s where you’re wrong. That girl ranked seventh during our provincial exam!” someone shouted from the midst of the nosy crowd gathering around them.

“What’s so great about ranking seventh? Xiao Huan here cliched the top position, and even I was placed as number six,” Li Meng declared proudly.

She had revised for the college examination together with Mu Huan and Lin Qingya. Her bestie had a sharp acumen when it came to spotting exam questions, and 60% of what she had bet on came true. Add to that the fact that they had been hardworking all along, they all managed to produce exceptional results.

“Number one? She’s Mu Huan, the top scholar for this year?” The crowd started to stir.

As the top scholar for this year had a really amazing entry score, many seniors were curious to find out who this genius who had attained such a high score was!

The marks were remarkable enough for her to apply for the Ivy League universities outside the country!

“That’s right, she’s the number one here. The top scholar: Mu Huan!” her bestie declared triumphantly.

“Wow, little missy, you were so superb! Your score was the highest in the history of Yun University!”

“Yeah! No top scholars from the past could compare with your results!”

“Here I was thinking that a girl with such a high score would be a bookworm, but little missy here turned out to be such a pretty and smart lady!”

“Hey, young missy, I’m single and my looks are decent. How about a date!”

“Miss…” The group swarmed around her.

This made Lin Qingya even more jealous and angry!

Earlier, these boys had still been swooning over her, amazed by her pretty look, gentleness, and good results. She was being hailed as the goddess!

But now, they were ignoring her presence totally!

D*mn Mu Huan!

It had always been like this since they were young! Lin Qingya was the most outstanding until Mu Huan appeared and stole all her glory. No one would bother with her after that.

But Lin Qingya alone was sufficient as the perfect specimen. There was no need for Mu Huan!

One day, one fine day, she would destroy this girl totally! Mu Huan would never be able to dazzle or obscure her splendor!

I’ll do it! I’ll destroy you for sure!

My Huan, hurry and get rid of them…. ?

Noticing her unsettling emotions, Gu Chenyi looked down and asked, “What happened?”

Lin Qingya immediately reined in her raging hatred. Looking overjoyed, she said, “I’m so happy. Xiao Huan is still popular despite her nasty words.”

With mixed feelings, the boy looked at the girl surrounded by her admirers.

“Chenyi, don’t do this to her anymore,” Lin Qingya urged gently.

“Do you remember how she has slandered your name in the past? She claimed that you were the mastermind behind that fateful night. You were the victim and yet she claimed otherwise!” He felt indignant for her sake. To him, this girl had always been thoughtful toward her bestie, and yet, not only was Mu Huan unappreciative, she even humiliated her for her learning ability in front of others!

Dipping her eyes low, the mastermind looked hurt and resigned as she commented, “No matter how she criticized me, I can’t throw away our years of friendship. I trust that she will return my goodwill one day as long as I don’t give up. I’ll wait for her to see the efforts that I’ve put in.”

“You…” The boy did not know what to say to this naive and kind soul.

Mu Huan had talked about keeping a low profile at school. It turned out that she would be the most conspicuous person on the first day.

It was a good thing that although news about her traveled far and wide, not many of them managed to catch her in person.

Mu Huan went to find the school counselor so she could move to the dormitory where Li Meng was staying.

And this was how she started her first year of university.

When Bao Junyan returned home from his business trip, it was the housekeeper who came out to greet him instead of his sweet, young wife. This made him rather unhappy.

He asked with knitted brows, “Where’s Madam?”

“She’s at school.”

“Classes should have ended by now, shouldn’t it?”

“Madam has said that it will be more convenient for her to stay in the school compound instead of at home during the school term. This is because our house is rather far from the university, and the school rule stipulates that they have to stay back in school for night revision classes every Monday to Wednesday. So she’ll stay in the dormitory every Monday to Thursday, and then at home every Friday and weekends.”

“…”

It was true that Yun University was quite a distance from Bao Junyan’s place. One was in the eastern part of Yun Cheng while the other was in the west. It took about 1.5 hours by car from one place to the next.

When she received a call from him, she was at one of the commercial streets within the university town, thrashing street thugs.

The merchants along this street were being blackmailed by these thugs who were looking for protection money, but the latter was always smart enough to hide their tracks each time the former alerted the police. Once the police left, they would come back, harassing the guests if the shop owners refused to pay up. Many students were too scared to patronize the stores here.

Businesses inside the university town depended on students’ patronage. Without them, they could not sustain.

Hence, the merchants came together with some money and engaged the help of the Know-All Agency.

Mu Huan and Li Meng happened to be near the vicinity and gladly accepted this assignment. Each time the gangsters appeared, a call would be enough to warrant their presence and they would give a good beating. Simply put, the two of them would beat them into submission!

So when she saw that the call was from her hubby, she signaled to her partner with a look and then found a private corner to answer the call.

“Hubby…” She was not sure if he had returned home yet and what his reaction would be if he found out that she was not home when he did.

She knew that he would disapprove of her staying on campus. Hence, she did not discuss this matter with him beforehand. By moving to the dormitory without telling him, she’d hoped that he would let her be by the time he found out about this.

“Are you in school?”

“Yes.” She was not lying as she swept a glance over the campus compound.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m reading inside the library.”

“Good. Wait for me, I’m going over to find you.”

That caught her by surprise. “Hubby, do you plan to come over?”

“Yes. I’m already at your school. I’ll reach the library shortly.”

What!
