  Yan Rusheng grunted deeply and his eyes shone with unyielding determination.

  Xuxu bent her head and helplessly sighed……

  It was Chinese New Year soon and the capital city was snowing.

  A thick blanket of snow covered the pavements and streets that footprints could hardly be seen.

  A girl was wearing a sand-colored thick coat as she absent-mindedly walked forward. She looked troubled and sorrowful.

  T University had never crossed her mind before as she knew that it was merely a far-fetched dream. But now, the opportunity presented right in front of her……

  All these people and that man don’t belong to you. You have nothing here.

  Be a brand new person and become someone who can soar higher. Wasn’t that more enticing?

  “Bai Jing.”


  Bai Jing was fighting with the voices inside her when someone interrupted her thoughts.

  The man’s voice was vaguely familiar, and Bai Jing instantly spun around with a wary and hostile expression.

  The skinny man was clad in a deep blue jacket with a scarf around his neck. He wore gold-rimmed spectacles as he quickly strode towards her.

  She politely said, “Professor Zhao.”


  Zhao Zheng stood before Bai Jing, panting slightly as he looked at her. “It’s snowing so heavily, why are you in school?”


  He looked as if he had run a distance just to talk to her. Bai Jing continued to gaze at him warily.

  She forced a smile and replied, “I was in the vicinity, so I wanted to take a stroll.”


  Zhao Zheng asked, “It’s the holidays, why aren’t you hanging out with Su Yue?”


  Bai Jing softly replied, “I just met her recently.”


  Zhao Zheng nodded and something struck him. “It’s Yizhong’s 100th anniversary tomorrow. Did Su Yue invite you?”


  Bai Jing frowned. “Yizhong?”


  Zhao Zheng’s eyes sparkled with a sly gleam as she appeared to be clueless.

  “Yeah.” He nodded and solemnly said, “Xuxu, Yan Rusheng, Ming Ansheng and the rest all graduated from Yizhong. All of them will go and there will be many famous university professors attending as well. You should attend such events to gain more exposure.”


  Indeed, he wasn’t boasting. At a huge event like this, the guests would all come from influential or wealthy backgrounds.

  Bai Jing weakly smiled. “Is it? I have no idea.”


  She bowed her head and her thick eyelashes hid her eyes from view. Zhao Zheng couldn’t read her mind.

  He put on a fleeting smirk. “I assume that Su Yue would have invited you.”


  Bai Jing wasn’t a fool, and she knew that he was trying to drive a wedge between them. She raised her head and glanced at him. “Her third brother and third sister-in-law would naturally bring her along. But they have no obligations to invite me.”


  She despised people like Zhao Zheng. She well knew of his hatred towards Su Yue as she was too stuck up. He had attempted several times to try to use her to get to Su Yue.

  All the more, she wouldn’t let him have his way.

  But when she mentioned that Su Yue wasn’t obliged to invite her, she still sounded slightly jealous and upset.

  She couldn’t help it.

  Zhao Zheng had tried tirelessly to get Bai Jing on his side, but she had deflected it smoothly each time. How she wished she could treat him as a stranger.
