“I didn’t lie to you though. Only the young master can approve the martial art and the related decoctions I told you. Whatever path you choose is up to you,” Song Qian tossed that statement to her before turning and leaving the room.
Yun Xiangxiang slumped weakly on to her bed; staring at the ceiling.
She never expected to be bonded with a heavyweight of the world in this reincarnation due to a conspiracy and her special blood. It wasn’t a normal bond either. Thirty percent of her blood was infused in Song Mian’s body.
Anyone else would have felt affection toward such a savior, as long as they had a conscience and knew how to be grateful.
This kind of affection wouldn’t necessarily develop into a romantic relationship. However, Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t tell for sure what kind of attitude Song Mian had toward her either.
Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t subconsciously degrading herself. It was because she was really worlds apart from Song Mian. Yun Xiangxiang was not compatible with Song Mian who stood at the top as an emperor.
Just love wasn’t enough for two people to come together.
True, it was a society that espoused love, and there weren’t any ideas about rank or class.
However, both of them weren’t compatible in every regard. Unless one of them could disregard it for their whole life, resentment would inevitably grow and fester until it overshadowed the initial love.
One would feel that he was degrading himself, while the other would feel that she was compromising on every front. Both of them would feel that they had sacrificed a lot, and that the other half should be more accommodating.
No matter how intense the love was in the beginning, they would become an unhappy couple in the long run.
Hate might even be born from that love to cause irreparable damage.
Song Mian was really nice and considerate toward her. She could feel it no matter in the hospital or during her visit to the Song Family’s manor.
However, this consideration and care did not have any hint of affection. Yun Xiangxiang chalked it up to gratitude. Now, she couldn’t even be sure about whether she thought it right or wrong.
If she was right, then why did Song Mian not notice Song Qian’s actions yesterday when even Yun Xiangxiang did? He did not stop Song Qian.
If she was wrong, then what did Song Mian like about her? Why did he like her? What was there about her to like?
Or was it because Song Mian himself couldn’t figure out what kind of relationship it was? He was also at the stage of trying to be sure of his feelings. Perhaps he didn’t stop Song Qian because he simply had Yun Xiangxiang’s blood inside of him, and he liked getting along with her.
Yun Xiangxiang still couldn’t find an answer no matter how hard she thought about it. She promptly decided to seek out Song Mian for an explanation.
Yun Xiangxiang picked up the customized phone to call Song Mian. The phone only rang two times before Song Mian’s lovely voice said, “Xiangxiang?”
Yun Xiangxiang held the phone tightly and said, “When is it a good time for us to meet? I have something to say to you.”
It was as Song Qian said, it was better to settle this kind of matter sooner rather than later. She felt that Song Mian was a good person. Even if she didn’t have any romantic feelings happening between them, she didn’t want them to be enemies because of someone else’s interference and involve her family in this.
“Is it urgent?” Song Mian asked.
“Not exactly. But I need to register at the school tomorrow. Military training will start in about three days. We’ll have to wait until the training is over if we can’t make it in those three days. I know you’re busy. Arrange according to your schedule. I’m fine either way,” Yun Xiangxiang tried her best to relax and be natural.
“I have not been in China since a couple of days ago. We’ll meet after your military training is over,” Song Mian was quiet for a while before he replied.
“Okay,” Yun Xiangxiang agreed.
“Don’t rush to take any liquid after you get drenched by the rain or sweat during military training. Rest for a while before you rehydrate. It’ll prevent damage to your stomach due to excessive pressure.
Military training consumes a lot of stamina. Take more meat and eggs. It would be best if you also take more vegetables and soup. Keep an eye on the vitamins and replenish them when necessary...”
Song Mian gave Yun Xiangxiang meticulous advice. His tender and detailed concern had Yun Xiangxiang feeling like she drank a cup of warm water on a wintry day. She felt warm all over, but it wasn’t the feeling of romance.
Song Mian peered at his phone after he hung up.
He was shrewd. Yun Xiangxiang suddenly called him to ask for a meetup that wasn’t about urgent health matters. It must have been about the issue between the two of them.
Given how sharp she was, she must have noticed something and needed some clarification from him.
She was actually quite disturbed right now, even if her actions were decisive. He wasn’t unable to go to her right away. However, he wanted to give her more time to calm herself. She would be able to make the most rational decision for herself like this.
Yun Xiangxiang stopped confusing herself after she made the decision. She wholeheartedly prepared to go to school.
Yun Xiangxiang went to the campus on time to register on the thirty first. Song Qian was the one who sent her. She bought the car herself. It wasn’t some luxury vehicle and cost around two hundred thousand yuan.
Song Meng and Li Xiangling had already registered at their campus. Their semester didn’t officially start yet. That was why they accompanied her, since they wanted to take a gander at the top institution.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t expect any reporters to be hiding in the campus. Fortunately Song Qian had sharp eyes. On top of that, her car was inconspicuous. That was why she managed to elude them.
However, there were also reporters when she went through the admissions procedure. But they weren’t entertainment reporters. Yun Xiangxiang let them photograph as they pleased.
Yun Xiangxiang was a celebrity. Not to mention she was also the top student this year. On top of that, she caused such a ruckus before school even started. Almost all of the people in the campus watched her film just because of her and read through some news about her. She also managed to recuperate completely. She was now blindingly beautiful. That was why the whole campus was looking at her the moment she appeared.
“That’s Yun Xiangxiang. She looks prettier than she is in the photos. She was really too skinny in “University Dream”. I can’t tell that is her.”
“She is as pretty as they say. On top of that, she entered our campus with the highest score!”
“My goddess! My goddess! The goddess is so close to me, but my limbs are frozen. I don’t have the courage to go forward. What should I do!?”
Yun Xiangxiang kept a calm and relaxed smile among the crowd that was peering at her. She didn’t stop those who whipped their phone out to snap some photos of her.
“Hello junior, I’ll be your host today. I’m Cheng Zhikai, sophomore in computer science,” At this moment, a handsome, slender man appeared. He was about 1.78 meters tall. The young man with a bright smile went to Yun Xiangxiang’s side, “I’ll take you to settle the related procedures.”
“I’ll be in your care,” Yun Xiangxiang’s smile deepened.
The morning sun was shining brilliantly, but it paled in comparison with Yun Xiangxiang’s smile. It was lethal. Cheng Zhikai was not the only one to be stunned. Everyone who saw it, no matter man or woman, were mesmerized and stopped in their tracks
“Why, why, why must my goddess be in computer science!”
“I finally understand why a smile can topple countries [1].”

“Everyone get out of my way! I feel a nosebleed coming! Don’t let me embarrass myself in front of the goddess!”
“I really want to follow my goddess to computer science...”
