Chapter 1 Encounter 2

  Yang Kang himself wanted to study economics and management, because the courses in the Economics Institute only required browsing through books in the library, and he could occasionally see liberal arts majors carrying thick books walking by, which had a great attraction for Yang Kang. He was indifferent to any course, as long as there were more girls and easier courses, it became his first choice major. However, when it came down to it, his usually easy-going father, Wan Yan Honglie, lost his temper and forced Yang Kang to change his application to biological technology.

  Yang Kang hadn't given Wanyan Honglie a pleasant face for two or three days, only casting him countless sidelong glances. His mother, Bao Cixi, was originally going to remarry Wanyan Honglie with Yang Kang, and she was a renowned and tragic female writer known for her reserve. At this time, she felt that her husband had wronged their child, so she became even more reserved. Wanyan Honglie couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when he saw his icy wife, feeling as though he had encountered an unprecedented cold winter in life.

  Although Wanyan Honglie was a leading figure in the academic circle of Bianjing University, he was afraid of his two treasures at home. He hastily patted his chest to comfort his son, saying that Wu Ya Zi, the head of the Biological Technology Department, was an old friend of his. Every year, the quota for studying abroad in Western Regions would definitely be reserved for Yang Kang, and maybe after studying for two years, he could directly get a full scholarship to study abroad in Western Regions. It would be easy to get a golden financial certificate then, so why bother with the Management College?

  Yang Kang only then realized Yan Honglie's kindness. It goes without saying that father and son are close, but Bao Xiwei also made dinner for Yan Honglie for two days, making him so happy that he smiled whenever he saw someone in the department. Several professors who had conflicts with him said, "Is this study tyrant changing his ways? Or is there going to be a big purge in the academy again, and he's just putting on a smiling face to numb everyone?"

  "Hey, is that Yang Kang?" The head of the computer science department, Cheng Xu, was at the reception point for new students in his department and called out to Yang Kang from a distance.

  "Master Chongxu!" Yang Kang thought to himself that this old man was the most talkative, but his face was as radiant as a spring flower. After all, he was someone who could sit on an equal footing with his father, and Yang Kang couldn't afford to offend him.

  Nodding at Guo Jing, Yang Kang shook his shoulders and swept away his depression, looking absolutely like a spirited young model. He pushed aside the people beside him and rushed over to chat with Chongxu, the crowd closed in behind him, so Guo Jing could no longer see his back.

  Standing there stupidly, Guo Jing finally found himself thoroughly trapped in the midst of red flags and banners fluttering about. Along a lush green path, countless red flags were flying high, each with white paper signs bearing words such as "Law School", "International Politics Department", "Biology Department", "Business School" and so on. Under each red flag, senior students were helping to move luggage, register names, and distribute registration guides, creating a bustling scene where every senior student was full of youthful energy - it wasn't until much later that Guo Jing realized this didn't mean the University of Bianjing was a place full of youthful energy; in fact, those senior students who weren't so full of youthful energy were mostly hiding in their dorms playing games or dozing off in the library.

  This prosperous scene, however, did not give the eighteen-year-old Guo Jing a sense of homecoming. As he became thoroughly lost in the crowd and couldn't see its end, he only knew that the end didn't have his familiar grassland, which was very far away.

  Guo Jing finally realized that he had left home.

  Qiao Feng bit his cigarette and stood there absent-mindedly. Above his head, the wind blew a large flag that fluttered with the five big words "International Politics Department".

  His 1.95-meter stature is more like a symbol than the red flag of the International Politics Department, and the table where the freshmen reported was right behind him, but several new students were lingering nearby, not daring to approach.

  If he wasn't born in the wrong era, Qiao Feng would be more suited to being an outlaw or a national hero, rather than hunching over a narrow desk reading books. His physique and appearance make it easy for people to imagine him as someone who collects protection money on the road, with a slogan like "Replace Heaven and Walk the Way" that suits him better. As a senior in his third year, he can't be considered one of the top old birds among the students at Bian University, but the task of welcoming new students stirred up some nostalgic emotions in him, making him feel like he's starting to get old. He likes the spacious and quiet campus, but the swarms of new students make him a bit worried, because it means that some people from the past... are no longer there, and may never be heard from again.

  Qiao Feng was not Mo Da, and he particularly disliked being troubled by such sentimental emotions. He let out a long sigh towards the light gray sky, and with one hand, stopped the new student who had passed in front of him three times: "Are you here to report to the national policy? It's right here! Don't dawdle."

  "Uh-huh..."

  "Xu Zhu, wake up," Qiao Feng didn't give the newcomer a chance to finish speaking, and slapped Xu Zhu, who was dozing off at his desk. At the same time, he picked up the newcomer's luggage, which weighed around 40-50 kilograms, with one hand and threw it onto the tricycle beside him: "This car is full, let's go."

  The newcomer hadn't even figured out the situation when Qiao Feng stuffed a stack of documents into his hands. He signed his name in a daze, listening to Qiao Feng's non-stop string of words in his ear: "From this road down, go to the cafeteria on the third floor to get your dorm number, prepare money to pick up your bed, deposit plus last year's accommodation fee is 1,100 yuan. The student union will send someone to deliver your luggage later. Keep your valuables safe for now. Tomorrow after the opening ceremony, there will be an English proficiency test, no need to prepare, even if you do it won't help. Follow Xuzhang, that bald guy, ask him if you don't understand anything."

  Finally, Qiao Feng patted Xin Sheng on the shoulder and Xin Sheng followed Zuo Ci, who was riding a tricycle. After walking for over ten meters, Xin Sheng turned his head back to see that the tall and majestic Old Sheng was standing quietly under the light gray sky, with another cigarette in his mouth, continuing to stare blankly in a very stylish way.

  After hesitating for a long time, Guo Jing was about to go forward and ask the old man under the big flag where the chemistry department reported. At this moment, someone bumped into his back.

  Originally, this setup could be applied to anyone, except for Huang Rong, because Huang Rong liked cleanliness, while Guo Jing's robe was very dirty. However, coincidentally, Huang Rong bumped into Guo Jing from behind, also providing a lot of convenience for the development of our later story.

  Huang Rong's family is very rich.

  There are many levels of wealth, and the level of Huang Rong's family is one of the few high levels in the Song Dynasty. Her father, Huang Yaoshi, was a deputy professor at Bianjing University for ten years. Unfortunately, he was always suppressed by Wan Yan Honglie, an old academic tyrant, and never got promoted. Huang Yaoshi specialized in biopharmaceuticals, which had good economic prospects and made him quite arrogant. After being suppressed by Wan Yan Honglie for ten years, Huang Yaoshi's wife died.

  The birth, aging, illness and death of human beings had nothing to do with Wanyan Honglie. However, one reason for the difficult childbirth and death of Lady Huang was that the doctor delayed his diagnosis at night due to laziness. At that time, Huang Yaoshi didn't even have a mobile phone, so he ran to the school's transmission room in the heavy rain to make a call, and then asked the driver from the college, who had an arrogant face, to drive out in the heavy rain. The hospital was located in the suburbs of Bianjing, while its headquarters was in the city. As a result, the doctor still delayed for half an hour due to laziness. In Huang Rong's first cry, the first important woman in Huang Yaoshi's life died.

  All this tragedy turned into anger when Huang Yao Shi hired a hearse to send his wife to the crematorium. When leaving the hospital, Huang Yao Shi found out that Director Wan Yan Hong Lie had gone to the hospital for an injection due to a cold, and when he came out, there were six or seven doctors behind him seeing him off. One of them was the doctor who delivered Feng Xue's baby. Heaven knows why an obstetrician would care so much about Wan Yan Hong Lie's health. Maybe it was just because he was the Dean of the Biology Department of Bianjing University and the Deputy Secretary of the hospital.

  After taking a last look at his pale-faced wife, Huang Yao-shi wrote his resignation letter with the bold and unbridled spirit of a drunken poet. The next day, as soon as Wanyan Honglie arrived at the office, Huang Yao-shi stepped in and piled all his previous papers on his desk, finally slamming his resignation letter in front of Wanyan Gonglie.

  He looked more like a man than he ever had in his life.

  Huang Yao Shi, who had been fighting fiercely for seven or eight years after falling into the sea, finally became the boss of a pharmaceutical company in Bianliang. Bianjing University hastily invited Huang back to school as an honorary dean of the College of Biology, on par with Wanyan Honglie. Huang wore all black Armani and stepped on his over 6,000 yuan shoes, strutting past Wanyan's office and into his own. This was the first time he had a space that completely belonged to him in the biology building.

  The door was locked behind Huang Yao Shi, and only he knew that at that time he had fallen onto the brand new desktop and burst into loud sobs.

  Huang Yaoshi cherished Huang Rong dearly, and this daughter made him easily recall his wife's appearance. When gazing at his daughter, he always felt as if the gentle and quiet female assistant from the biology department sixteen years ago was standing on the balcony again, with the warm breeze blowing ceaselessly...

  When Huang Rong was in high school, there was a boy who pursued her. As a result, Chairman Huang personally drove a black BMW to slap that boy and ended it. In the eyes of Huang Yaoshi, ordinary boys with three or four dozen brushes can't even touch his daughter's finger. However, Huang Rong herself didn't think so. The reason she ignored that boy later was because she thought he was very cowardly and didn't dare fight back against her father after being slapped. Huang Rong often fought with Huang Yaoshi, and both of them had the level of a blue belt in empty-handed way.

  Huang Rong is very beautiful. Although she is not considered tall, the beauty of a tall and beautiful woman's body is proportionally reduced to fit her size. Moreover, her eyes are big, her smile is sweet, and her soft black hair has a hint of light gold, with a stunningly high rate of turning heads.

  However, Guo Jing turned his head back not because Huang Rong was pretty, but because he was stunned by the collision.

  Guo Jing lowered his head and gazed at Huang Rong, who was a head shorter than him. Huang Rong raised her head and gazed back at him, their eyes locking in a stare - his rough and rugged from the north, hers clever and cunning from the south.

  Many love at first sight starts with a mutual gaze, but this time it's a bit of an exception.

  "Excuse me, where is the chemistry department?"

  "Excuse me, where is the store?"

  Guo Jing asked this because he was tongue-tied and anxious to find the chemistry department, while Huang Rong asked only because she felt sick.

  She wasn't disgusted with Guo Jing, but rather with someone hidden in the crowd. That day she resolutely refused Huang Yaoshi's suggestion to drive her to report for duty himself, and single-handedly charged into Qinzhou University without looking back. Because Huang Yaoshi had severely scolded her and her classmates for going to a bar to have fun the day before yesterday, Huang Rong hated her own tyrannical father so much that her teeth were itching. She was very excited in her heart, so she put on her favorite diagonal plaid short skirt and white tight-fitting vest, wore a pair of snow-white knee-high socks outside her long silk stockings, and stepped into a pair of flat black leather shoes that were popular from Japan, with a black double-shoulder leather backpack behind her back, using two ebony carved hairpins to tie up her two long braids. This outfit made Huang Rong, who had just graduated from high school and liked to dress up, look fashionable and slightly sexy. However, staring at her exposed long legs, even the gatekeeper Peng Yingyu was stunned for a long time, and then sighed that today's students have all fallen.
