Bai Weimi noticed the way her boyfriend was looking at Su Qianxun. Naturally, she was not pleased. She tugged at him forcefully. “Qianxun’s my dorm mate! She already has a boyfriend.”

“I see...” Xue Rui did not even bother to hide the regretful expression on his face.

“I’ll leave you guys. We’re heading to campus.” Su Qianxun dragged Gu Mian along as she walked off.

As the two young women walked away, they could still hear Bai Weimi purring coquettishly to the man. “Are you enamoured by her because she’s pretty? Why are you so infuriating...? How do you expect me to trust you from now on? You are such a bad boyfriend...”

“How could I? The person I love the most will always be you.” As Xue Rui spoke, he was still staring at Su Qianxun from the corner of his eye. ‘This young woman looks just as attractive from behind.’

Su Qianxun and Gu Mian exchanged glances. They immediately quickened their pace.

After they entered campus, Su Qianxun and Gu Mian stopped by their hostel for a while. Su Qianxun applied some medicinal ointment on the scratch on her face while Gu Mian massaged her slightly painful ears. After they freshened up, they headed to the lecture hall.

.....

In the afternoon.

The moment Su Qianxun’s lecture ended, Long Sijue called her on the phone. The young woman furrowed her eyebrows slightly. This was the first time he called her around this time of day.

“Hello? What do you want?” Su Qianxun suddenly recalled this morning’s incident. ‘Is Long Sijue attracted to Qiao Yiren for real?’ The young woman thought of this possibility and felt an unpleasant feeling in her chest.

“You have ten minutes to come outside,” Long Sijue said and immediately hung up.

Su Qianxun was speechless.

“What?” Gu Mian asked once she put all her stationery into her bag.

“Long Sijue came to fetch me.” Su Qianxun looked at her with an apologetic expression.

“Go ahead, then. I’ll be fine on my own.” Gu Mian knew that Su Qianxun was worried about her because she was a new student.

“Go ahead and have lunch, then. I’ll come over in the afternoon.”

“Okay.” Gu Mian did not say anything else. She understood that if Long Sijue did not allow Su Qianxun to come over, she would not be able to.

After Su Qianxun left, a gloomy expression appeared on Gu Mian’s small face. She took out her cell phone and checked her inbox. There was no text message from anyone. She began staring blankly at the date on the phone screen.

She would never ever forget what today’s date meant.

It was Lu Ming’s birthday!

Gu Mian took out a gift box from her bag. The color on its wrapping paper had already faded. She could recall clearly the way she went shopping for his birthday present excitedly four years ago. However, she had not been able to find him since then.

She put the gift back into her bag and prepared to leave. Her cell phone suddenly started ringing. When she saw the vaguely familiar number on the screen, her heart skipped a beat.

Gu Mian answered Lu Ming’s phone call anyway. Lu Ming told her that it was his birthday today, and that he hoped that he could spend the night with her to make up for the date he missed four years ago.

All her classmates had left the spacious lecture hall. Gu Mian was the only one inside there. She sat in a daze. Lu Ming asked her to meet up with him at nine tonight.

.....

The first thing Su Qianxun did when she got into the car was to look for the briefcase that contained the money. She found the briefcase where she left it. It seemed untouched. She smiled gleefully.

She opened the briefcase and stared at the five hundred thousand RMB inside it. She said, “Young...”

“What do you call me?” Long Sijue glanced at her small lips unhappily.

The young woman furrowed her eyebrows glumly. This man was too difficult to deal with. He made her call him by a different name whenever he pleased. She could not possibly do that!
