When Wen Yu was kidnapped as a child and later returned safely, his father made him learn combat sports. After years of training, he had acquired the skills of a professional boxer. Without hesitation, he reached out and embraced someone tenderly.
Chen Hao and Sun Kai exchanged knowing looks.
After all, they were all trained in combat sports and had a keen eye. They could easily distinguish between real and fake falls. The three of them walked side by side, and this girl had a clear target. She directly pounced on Wen Yu in the middle. It was too obvious.
In September, the season of enrollment, and Wen Ge’s peach blossom 1 桃花, táohuā, romantic encounters was blooming one after another.
“Thank you, senior brother,” Sun Yaxian supported Wen Yu, stood up straight, raised her face, and ran her hand through her hair. Her posture and movements were quite charming.
Compared to Ji Anning, who was stiff and awkward, she was obviously an old driver 2 experienced player .
Wen Yu calmly withdrew his arm and said, “It’s okay,” as he took a step to leave.
But Sun Yaxian suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.

Looking closely, he’s really handsome. It makes your heart skip a beat.
Although Wen Yu was only a junior in college, he was essentially already a mature adult.
He had seen and experienced a lot, and the level of this freshman girl’s tricks was not enough to impress him. Wen Yu could see through her intentions clearly.
In the past, when faced with this kind of attention, Wen Yu would decide whether to respond with a smile based on his mood and the girl’s attractiveness.
But today, he calmly watched Sun Yaxian perform and smelled the overpowering scent of her mature perfume, and he felt no interest whatsoever.
“No need,” he said casually and continued walking towards the door.
Sun Yaxian was taken aback for a moment and caught up with him. “Senior brother, senior brother, this isn’t good. How about I compensate you right now?”
While saying that, she pretended to search for her wallet but didn’t actually take it out.
Wen Yu grew tired of her antics.
He was a temperamental young master, and when he wasn’t interested, he wouldn’t bother to deal with it. He simply coldly retorted, “I said no need,” and walked away.
Sun Kai followed a few steps but turned back to see Sun Yaxian, who was biting her lip and holding her phone, standing there with a pitiful look. He couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. He turned around and said, “How about we exchange WeChat IDs then?”
Sun Yaxian bit her lip and sweetly smiled, thinking that this was someone close to Wen Yu, so she decided to shoot first before asking questions. “Sure.”
Wen Yu and Chen Hao walked out of the cafeteria and noticed that Sun Kai hadn’t caught up.
“Where is he?” Chen Hao wondered.
Sun Kai caught up after a half-minute delay.
“Wen Ge, aren’t you a bit too much?” he complained.
“What do you mean?” Wen Yu couldn’t understand.
Sun Kai said, “That freshman girl just now was so beautiful, but you were so indifferent. You made her feel so wronged.”
Wen Yu rubbed his chin, feeling puzzled. “Beautiful? “
Sun Kai/Chen Hao: “…”
Sun Kai was speechless. “Wen Ge, is there something wrong with your eyes?”
Wen Yu turned to Chen Hao and asked, “Beautiful?”
Chen Hao nodded, “In this new freshman class, she’s definitely considered pretty. She’s at the level of a campus belle.”
This puzzled Wen Yu. Even Chen Hao said so… it shouldn’t be, he didn’t really find that girl attractive just now. Everything she did seemed so calculated and artificial.
After walking a few more steps, Wen Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Is she prettier or is Ji Anning prettier?”
Chen Hao and Sun Kai looked at each other and said in unison, “Ji Anning is definitely prettier.”
Wen Yu stared at them, “Is there something wrong with your eyes? We all have the same aesthetic sense. Why are you praising that girl so much?” Why don’t I hear you praising Ji Anning’s beauty?
Chen Hao and Sun Kai were about to burst into frustration.
Of course, Ji Anning is beautiful. Otherwise, how could Senior Wen be so enthusiastic about her? He dragged us around hungry in the middle of the day just to wait for her to have lunch together. What’s the point of organizing a club meal, as if he’s afraid that the girl won’t realize he’s taking care of her?
But even if Ji Anning is more beautiful, so what? She’s the girl that Wen Yu has his eyes on. Would he be happy if they both praised Ji Anning excessively? Wouldn’t they think that Chen Hao and Sun Kai have feelings for Ji Anning?
Who doesn’t have a sense of self-preservation? They can only try to ignore Ji Anning’s appearance.
The three of them returned to the dormitory building to rest. On the way, Wen Yu kept thinking, he really didn’t think that girl was beautiful just now.
He couldn’t help but compare her to Ji Anning.
Ji Anning’s facial features were almost flawless, delicate enough to captivate anyone’s gaze.
Not to mention her figure, the slimmest waist at Huada University. And from observing her for so many days, Wen Yu noticed that she might not realize how appealing those tight-fitting tops she always wore were to men, accentuating her beautiful curves.
She was busy running around in the cafeteria, wherever she went, heads turned.
But Ji Anning, although cold and unapproachable, and a bit foolishly stubborn and dramatic when it came to money, in other aspects, she didn’t give him that same “fake” feeling as the girl from earlier.
She was genuine.
Her cold rejection and her tender gaze towards him were both genuine.
This kind of genuineness made Wen Yu feel comfortable from the strands of her hair to the tips of her fingers.
Of course, it also made Wen Yu realize that she was a peculiar contradiction.
As Chen Hao and Sun Kai chatted while walking, they noticed that Wen Yu had fallen behind. When they turned around and saw him, they were speechless.
Wen Yu had a smile on his lips and a look of contentment in his eyes…
It’s autumn, why talk about spring!
Ji Anning went home at noon and took her grandmother downstairs for a walk while the sun was shining.
The weather was getting colder, and in another month, she wouldn’t be able to take her grandmother out for a walk in the evening anymore. She tried to take her out as much as possible now.
After bringing her grandmother back home and watching her lie down for a nap in the bedroom, Ji Anning washed the lunchbox and breakfast dishes, read for a while, kept an eye on the time, and then headed back to school with her bag.
Huada University had a strict academic atmosphere, and the students weren’t as relaxed as those in many other universities. The school piled a lot of foundational courses on the freshmen, so Ji Anning’s schedule was quite tight. Compared to that, Wen Yu and his friends in their third year had much more free time.
When Ji Anning arrived at the classroom for her afternoon class, Meng Xinyu waved at her, “Over here!”
Ji Anning jogged over and sat down behind her—on the back row, with a smiling expression, “Thanks.”
Meng Xinyu glanced at Sun Yaxian and whispered, “When you weren’t here just now, Sun Yaxian asked about you twice.”
Ji Anning hesitated and asked, “What does she want?”
“I don’t know.” Meng Xinyu shrugged, “I asked her if she had something to find you for, but she didn’t explain clearly.”
Ji Anning then looked at Sun Yaxian, coincidentally, Sun Yaxian also turned to look at her, her gaze flickering.
“See, she’s still staring at you,” Meng Xinyu said.
Ji Anning’s eyes deepened.
“I don’t care about her.” She withdrew her gaze and took out her textbook.
She went to the restroom after class and when she came back, Sun Yaxian came over with her waist twisted.
“Ji Anning,” she approached with a cheerful smile, “why did I see you having lunch with some senior male students at noon?”
So she saw it.
“Yeah, it was Wen Yu,” Ji Anning admitted openly.
Sun Yaxian was a bit surprised. She thought Ji Anning would at least try to conceal it. She pretended to be puzzled and said, “But I remember you said you rejected Wen Yu.”
Ji Anning raised her face slightly, “Yeah.”
“So you still have meals with him?” Sun Yaxian pressed.
Ji Anning smiled faintly, “Even though I rejected him, we’re still classmates, and we’re in the same club.”
Sun Yaxian’s eyes brightened, “He joined a club? Which one?” She had inquired about Wen Yu’s background and thought that someone from his wealthy background wouldn’t join a club at school.
Wen Yu’s fighting club was low-key, and he didn’t allow girls who chased after him to get involved. Sun Yaxian was just a freshman, and although she was considered socially adept, she hadn’t heard anyone mention Wen Yu’s fighting club yet.
One reason was that Wen Yu himself hadn’t been paying much attention to the martial arts club since his sophomore year. But as the founder, he couldn’t completely abandon it.
Meng Xinyu sat in the front seat, twisting her body to listen to the conversation between Sun Yaxian and Ji Anning.
Sun Yaxian’s incessant questioning was clearly driven by her interest in that handsome guy, Wen Yu. Ji Anning, on the other hand, didn’t see any reason to let her pry into her personal affairs.
Thinking like this, Meng Xinyu saw Ji Anning smile slightly and said to Sun Yaxian, “Guess.”
Sun Yaxian was annoyed and went back to her seat.
Meng Xinyu leaned on Ji Anning’s desk and laughed for a while before remembering to ask, “Hey, what club is it exactly?”
Ji Anning didn’t keep her in suspense and told her directly, “It’s a fighting club, practicing mixed martial arts.”
Meng Xinyu said, “You’re learning that? Isn’t it more suitable for boys?”
Ji Anning said, “The place where I work part-time is a bit chaotic, so I want to learn some self-defense.”
Meng Xinyu was astonished and asked, “Where do you work?”
Working as a liquor saleswoman in a bar was one of the reasons her classmates criticized her. Despite that, the place where she later fell off the building and died was actually a well-established, star-rated hotel, but they spread rumors that it was a place for adult entertainment.
But for Ji Anning, that part-time job was the most lucrative among all her jobs.
In the coming year, her grandmother would fall ill three times and undergo two surgeries. Even though Ji Anning had been reborn, there was no way to solve the financial problems. She had to continue with this job for sure.
If only she had remembered even just one set of lottery numbers back then.
Having experienced so much gossip and slander, Ji Anning knew that hiding and covering up were futile. She calmly told Meng Xinyu, “I sell drinks on the bar street at South Bridge Road on weekends.”
Meng Xinyu was somewhat surprised, but there was no discrimination, just pure surprise. She said, “You do that too? I heard it’s a quick way to make money.”
She used the word “too,” which also surprised Ji Anning a little. She asked, “Do you know anyone else doing this?”
Meng Xinyu said, “I have a fellow villager, also from our school. But she’s over at the temporary campus.”
Some of the old buildings on the Huada University campus were undergoing renovations this year, including the academic buildings and dormitories. Because of this, the university rented external space and designated it as a temporary campus, relocating students from two departments there.
They were expected to move back in the second half of the semester.
Ji Anning stared at Meng Xinyu and asked, “What’s the name of your fellow villager?”
Meng Xinyu replied, “Her name is Yu Xia.”
After she finished speaking, Ji Anning’s face became expressionless.
