Jiang Xiu had become the focus of the entire class today.

"You're awesome, bruh!"

Zheng Lun flashed a thumbs up towards him, and Zhang Yiwen also bootlicked him. Zhou Jin wished to even create an idol of Jiang Xiu which he could pray to.

"Our idol!"

The campus forum had already exploded. Long Yingqing had fallen from her position of the No.1 Campus Diva. Let alone staying on the top four, she didn't even rank on the department diva ranking. The pics of her covered all over in that hosted on the main forum had spread everywhere, resulting in her image being wrecked. Even the damn shut-ins began to dislike her.

"Brother, you're popular right now!"

The brutes looked at him with worship. After helping a campus diva suppress another campus diva, he had become the man of the moment in the campus, and the showed up as the first result when searching for the hottest hero on campus.

"I heard Long Yingqing's classmates say that her family has requested an indefinite leave of absence for her. They say she might even transfer to another university."

"Oh? Really?"

Jiang Xiu felt this was a bit unexpected. That girl was pretty ice-cold, so he thought she had a tough character but didn't expect that she would be unable to endure such a hit. However, Jiang Xiu didn't have a guilty conscience regarding it. As the old adage went - Losers are always in the wrong.

"Jiang Xiu, can we go have lunch with Diva Cheng today?"

"Yeh! Yeh!"

Jiang Xiu naturally wanted to go look for Cheng Lingran. However, he disloyally abandoned the three brutes first.

The Sciences Block had a narrow street passing through a grove. Since it was lunchtime, there wasn't anyone there. However, from a distance, Cheng Lingran could be seen making her way over while riding a bicycle.

"Little Xiu!"

"Where did you get the bicycle from?" Jiang Xiu asked.

"From a classmate. It's my turn to buy snacks today.." Cheng Lingran wore a smile on her face. It took around a dozen minutes to travel from the girl's dorm to the retail store, so they used a bicycle to go over there. These girls really knew how to have fun.

"Come up!"

Jiang Xiu responded with an 'Mhm,' and got in the back seat. He also hugged Cheng Lingran's waist quite naturally. He had a clear understanding about her waist, it was slender and of a perfect mold, without any flab.

"Let's go!"

Cheng Lingran stepped on the peddle.

The autumn afternoon sunshine fell on their bodies, creating shadows of their cuddled figures on the flat cement ground. The sunlight and shade of the distant autumn trees interweaved with each other, forming a pretty scenery which seemed to portray the most beautiful melody of youth.

Cheng Lingran even hummed a poem softly as she rode the bicycle.

"If I never met you,

Where would I be?

How would I spend my days?

Would I cherish this life?

Maybe I'd have met someone else,

And led an ordinary life.

But I don't know if I could,

Ever have a sweet love like ours.

Time quickly passes by, but I only care about you.

I'm so happy to be intoxicated by everything you are to me.

How many people get to find their soulmates in this life?

There is no pity in losing the strength to go on,

So I beg you, don't let me leave you.

Without you, I can't feel the slightest trace of love.."

It was an elegant, touching, sweet poem which also seemed like it was relating to the leading male and female roles of a movie!

"You seem to be in a pretty good mood today!"

Cheng Lingran replied cheerfully, "Of course I am. My mother called me today morning and told me that my father is able to sit now. The doctors all said it was a miracle, that my father can recover completely."

A sweet poem in exchange for treating Cheng Hanlin. It was worth it. Thought Jiang Xiu.

"We're at the store!"

Jiang Xiu jumped off the bicycle while Cheng Lingran got down gracefully. After parking it aside, they entered the store. There was no need to worry about the bicycle getting stolen inside the campus.

"I might go out for an archaeological trip!"

Cheng Lingran turned back to look at Jiang Xiu with astonishment in her eyes. "Isn't your Archaeology Dept. barred for trips this semester due to the incident which happened before? How are you able to go?"

"It's a personal trip. I can't neglect my studies, right?"

Cheng Lingran nodded.

"Mhm!"

"How long will you be gone?"

"I need to go abroad. The duration will depend on the circumstances." Jiang Xiu replied.

Cheng Lingran placed all the snacks on the shelf inside the basket Jiang Xiu was holding. She didn't eat much, but her dormmates loved to eat. "Well, go then! Remember to bring back souvenirs."

She then kicked the box of beer near her feet. "Hehe, lift this box as well!"

"Whoa! A box!"

"Yep, it's essential!"

Girls were precisely this wild nowadays.

Not long after delivering Cheng Lingran back to the dorm, Jiang Xiu received a call from Wang Xintong. Her private plane wasn't allowed to take an international route, so it wasn't of much use. That's why she booked a 1^st class cabin ticket for Jiang Xiu on the 3 PM flight.

..

At the Imperial Capital Airport.

The 1^st class cabin Wang Xintong had booked was pretty spacious and cozy. The air hostess was also charming. Jiang Xiu was able to find his seat quite easily with her acting as the guide.

"Mister, that window seat is yours!"

His neighbor was a girl whose long hair covered most of her face. She wore shades and had fiery lips. Her gaze was fixed outside the shutter. From her clothes, it was easy to make out that she was some family's princess. She sat upright with her knees touching and legs together. Even if it was sitting on a plane, she spent a lot of effort to maintain her bearing. It was clear that this person's self-cultivation was pretty high. She looked pretty attractive to the eyes as well due to her slender and long legs.

It was just that her legs were blocking Jiang Xiu's way inside so he had to call out to her, "Young lady, please give way."

That pretty girl responded to him. "You're finally here. Can you exchange seats with me? I want to sit at the window seat.." She suddenly took off her shades, revealing her pale, beautiful face. Her pretty eyes immediately opened wide as she exclaimed, "It's you!"

Jiang Xiu was also stunned, "It's you!"

This was indeed quite the coincidence. The pretty girl was actually Long Yingqing. It was an irritating matter to encounter one's foe. If her hands had two knives, she might've jabbed him already.

"You want to exchange seats?" Jiang Xiu grinned at her. "I don't want to!"

"You!"

Long Yingqing felt this guy was like a ghost. No matter where she went, she was unable to escape from him. She was planning to leave the country but had actually landed in the same plane as him and that too having a seat adjacent to his. She immediately spoke up, "Hostess, I want to change seats!"

That air hostess was put in an awkward situation. The 1^st class cabin only had a few seats, and it was already full. "This.. Miss, please wait. I'll try asking."

"Quickly!" Long Yingqing became impatient and looked as if she would become poisoned if she stayed another second together with Jiang Xiu.

Jiang Xiu didn't act politely as well and walked over her leg directly. The little demon in Long Yingqing's mind got triggered, urging her to kick at him, but after recalling Jiang Xiu's strength, she decided to renounce this idea and withdrew her leg. She threw a look of despise at him to let him learn from the experience.

"Miss, I asked for you. No one is willing to change seats!"

Long Yingqing knit her brows into a scowl, "Such classless people!"

That hateful voice rung at her ears at this moment, "If you don't want to sit together with me, you can exchange seats with someone in the economy class. I believe they'll be willing to do it."

The air hostess also nodded.

This was equivalent to upgrading the class for free. Who would let off such a chance?

Long Yingqing also felt this way was better. She only wished to get away from this eight-clawed parasite which had come from Planet Γ. But after thinking it over, she thought why should she be the one to suffer like this. "You should change your seat!"

Jiang Xiu gave her a look of despise to let her learn from the experience.

"You!"

Long Yingqing's pale, angry face turned paler.

The air hostess saw this and asked with a smile, "Is he perhaps your ex-boyfriend?"

Long Yingqing's eyes turned completely round as she looked at this hopelessly blind air hostess, "Him? Just take a look at his clothes. His appearance is so wretched as if his family's entire 18 generations have never seen money and looks as if he had crawled out of an underground hole. If you place a gold chain on his neck, he'll look just like those African bros with lots of dough. You think someone like me can be my ex-boyfriend?"

The air hostess smiled sweetly and quickly left as this place was becoming dangerous.historical

Jiang Xiu sniffed the air then said, "What's stinking so much? Oh right! Long Whatever, did you wash cleanly or not? Why do you stink so much? Maybe you didn't wash your hair enough? I remember there were a lot of lumps on your head and some of it had seeped into your hair."

Long Yingqing's expression turned unnatural, her face turning green. She even thought of getting her hair shaved off, but she couldn't do it in the end. And now, due to Jiang Xiu's words, she felt..

"Gugh!"

Bastard, you did this on purpose. This won't do. I can't lose to him. Long Yingqing forced herself to push back the nauseous feeling.

"What's this brown thing?"

The moment she heard the word 'brown,' she couldn't endure anymore and rushed towards the washroom while covering her mouth.
