Qin Shu stopped in her tracks when she heard that.
She hugged the textbook in her arms tightly and didnât know how to answer. If she said yes, it would be quite troublesome to be mistaken for someone else.
Hua Wuyanâs actions at that time were obvious.
Hua Wuyan looked at Qin Shuâs back view and continued to reason, âYou even used your phone to hit my wrist. Itâs still bruised.â
If he didnât hold onto her at that time, would she have knocked him with her phone?
Qin Shu turned to look at Hua Wuyan. She seemed a little confused. âI donât understand what youâre talking about. Have we met before?â
Hua Wuyan was stunned. He was a little doubtful when he saw Qin Shu acting like she didnât know him. Could he really be mistaken?
Maybe she wasnât the one he met that day in front of the milk tea shop in the mall.
Han Xiaoâs hands, which were hanging by his side, suddenly tightened. A hint of disappointment flashed across his ink-black eyes.
âYou must have made a mistake. Iâll be leaving first.â
They werenât speaking so Qin Shu turned around and left.
This time, no one stopped her. She let out a sigh of relief.
After Qin Shu left, Hua Wuyan turned to look at Han Xiao. He pursed his lips. âBrother Han, I seem to have mistaken her for someone else.â
Han Xiaoâs eyelids drooped slightly. âShe knows martial arts.â
Hua Wuyan asked puzzledly, âWhat do you mean?â
Han Xiao said, âI tested her.â
âMartial arts doesnât mean anything, right? There are martial arts schools everywhere.â
It wasnât just China. There were also many people abroad who were learning martial arts. It was just that they were at different levels.
Han Xiao didnât say anything else. He only tested her so it didnât mean anything.
Hua Wuyan said, âBrother Han, have you ever thought about what will happen if you canât find the Little Munchkin?â
He was originally filled with anticipation but now, after he was suddenly denied, he began to feel uncertain.
They had been searching for seven years. How many more seven years did he have in his life?
Han Xiaoâs voice was cold but extremely firm, âThat wonât happen.â
He did not think about what would happen if he could not find Little Munchkin because he believed that he would find her.
All he thought about was what would happen if he found her.
Hua Wuyanâs tone became even more serious, âI mean, what if.â
How could there be so many absolute things in this world? What if he could not find her?
The old man would not allow Han Xiao to stay outside forever. He had many things to deal with in his family and he was the heir. How could he stay outside forever?
Wouldnât the old man die of anger?
Han Xiao replied to him without a trace of hesitation. âThen Iâll keep looking. Iâll find her eventually.â
This was an expected answer. Han Xiaoâs personality was like this. He would not stop until he found what he wanted.
Hua Wuyan let out an inaudible sigh. âOkay.â

In the classroom
Qin Shu sat in a corner with her glasses. She was so low-key that it was easy to overlook her.
She wore a Bluetooth earpiece in her right ear and looked at the laptop in front of her.
Today was the first time she was sitting in a university classroom while listening to a young professor. Although they were both university courses, her classes with the young professor progressed much faster than her current university course. The first semester of her freshman year was almost over.
However, why did the young professor seem to be in a classroom today?
Qin Shu looked at it several times and still felt that it looked very similar. Even the tables and chairs were very familiar. She couldnât help but send a message to ask him.
[ Qin Shu: Teacher, are you in a classroom? ]
[ Young professor: Yes, a university classroom. ]
A university classroom?
Qin Shu was even more confused. It was very normal for him to teach university students in a university classroom.
However, she felt that something was wrong because he was sitting at the studentâs desk.
[ Qin Shu: Are you teaching other students? Why do you still have time to teach me? ]
[ Young professor: I am only teaching you. ]
Qin Shu looked at the message sent by the young professor and was a little confused.
Teaching her? Why was he sitting in the classroom then?
[ Young professor: I am at Imperial College. ]
Just as Qin Shu was feeling puzzled, the young professor sent another message. After reading it, she was completely stunned.
The young professor was at Imperial College?
He was in the same school as her.
Previously, she guessed that the young professor was from the neighboring school. Could it be that she had guessed wrong?
But, that tree was really similar.
[ Qin Shu: So, teacher, have you always been a teacher at Imperial College? ]
[ Young professor: No, I donât think Iâve said I was a teacher before. ]
If he wasnât a teacher, could he be a student?
Qin Shu was so shocked that she didnât know what to say. Indeed, the young professor had never said that he was a teacher or anything like that.
It was she who thought that he was a professor. She had a preconceived idea that the professor was a teacher. Moreover, he taught her so well so he must have been a very competent teacher.
Therefore, from the very beginning, she had always misunderstood that he was a teacher.
She remembered his strange locations for holding classes. Now that she thought about it, it didnât seem to fit the behavior of a teacher.
Which teacher would climb a tree?
More importantly, he was teaching on a tree.
[ Qin Shu: Then, can I ask how old you are? ]
[ Young professor: 23 years old. ]
23 years old?
Qin Shu couldnât help but sigh. What a young professor.
In the past, the professors in her impression were all middle-aged men in their forties.
Even Jun Li was a year older than him. In short, they were all very young.
There was also Fu Tingyu, who had obtained a Ph.D. at a young age.
This was not something a god-like scholar could achieve. This was enough to show just how amazing they were.
[ Qin Shu: Youâre amazing. Iâm impressed. ]
[ Young professor: Letâs find a time to meet. Itâs more convenient to have face-to-face classes than online classes. ]
Seeing the message sent by the young professor, Qin Shu felt astounded again. âFace-to-face?â
She suddenly remembered that when the young professor asked her which school she was admitted to, she said Imperial College.
At that time, the young professor seemed to have said something like, âLetâs meet if thereâs a chance?
Qin Shu supported her chin with one hand and looked at the message on the screen with a worried expression. It was indeed convenient to have face-to-face classes but she was using a fake name and fake identity.
Would he feel that he had been deceived if they met face-to-face?
She had not replied to the message for a long time so the young professor was a little impatient. He sent another message.
[ Young professor: Inconvenient? ]
Qin Shu put down her hand and hesitated for a moment before replying.
[ Qin Shu: Itâs not inconvenient. I just feel that it might be awkward if we meet. ]
[ Young professor: You can treat it as if youâre learning in a classroom. Youâre not a little girl so you donât have to think about anything else. ]
It was rare for the young professor to explain so patiently. He just felt that it was more convenient to have classes face-to-face since they were in the same school. It would be less troublesome too.
Qin Shu sighed. She was a lady. If she was a man, she wouldnât need to think so much.
She stared at the message on the screen and hesitated for a long time. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she typed a message and sent it over.
[ Qin Shu: I might be different from what you expect. ]
[ Young professor: Donât you have a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth? Will you have one more than the others? ]
Ugh!
In the eyes of the young professor, as long as she had a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth, there was nothing to be surprised about.
[ Qin Shu: No, my facial features are normal and there is no abnormality... ]
