Qin Jiaxi had regained her composure and was now enjoying the youthful delights of the campus snack street with everyone.

In truth, her eyes were still swollen like walnuts, suggesting that she had cried her heart out during her shower. However, her smile now carried a clear and tranquil air, an indication that her inner turmoil had somewhat subsided. Though it couldn’t be said that she was entirely indifferent, she had at least found the courage to no longer dwell in sorrow.

After finishing their desserts, Qin Yi asked, “Where to next? Shall we continue exploring the campus?”

Qin Rong responded, “Let’s leave it up to Jiaxi.”

Qin Jiaxi hesitated momentarily, remembering that she actually had something scheduled for the afternoon.

Qin Han was slated to give a speech at their university. As an outstanding alumnus and a representative of the Qin Group, he was there to inspire the students. The lecture was sure to be packed, and attendance wasn’t mandatory. However, since Qin Jiaxi was a student in the top department of the academy, the advisor had specifically instructed her to attend.

Yet now, she had no desire to face Qin Han. The frantic calls and messages she’d received earlier made it clear that Yu Xin had already tattled to him.

She didn’t want to be reprimanded. While she had found the courage to confront Su Ze, that didn’t mean she could stand up to Qin Han. After all, he was the brother she had grown up with, and his authority over her was far greater. She didn’t yet have the strength to face the reality that her own brother didn’t truly care for her and preferred Yu Xin as his “sister.”
