'er, how did your competition go today Why don't you call me after it's over" Xu Hengwen was wearing earphones and intently focusing on his emails, paying attention to every detail."If I perform as us...Just as Xu Yixue continued walking, it was already winter, but it wasn't very cold. However, the moment she lifted her foot to continue, she felt a cold, sinister presence approaching from behind.

The temperature around her dropped as well, and she felt goosebumps all over.

The Business School was surrounded by trees, and the cold air grew closer, rising up from the soles of her feet, spreading throughout her body.

She actually wanted to run, but unfortunately, her legs felt like they were rooted in place, unable to move even an inch. Whether it was fear or something else, she couldn't tell.

Xu Yi Xue could feel someone behind her. As long as she turned around, that face would be right in front of her.

Even with her eyes closed, she could feel the icy breath washing over her face, instantly making her feel like she was in an ice cave.

"Open your eyes," a low, commanding voice came from beside him. It seemed to carry a hint of coldness.

Shu Yi Xue's heart skipped a beat. The tone and words... she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

“Miss Xu,” the voice came closer, as if speaking right beside her ear.

She even felt that chill, shooting straight into her ear, freezing her nerves.

She turned her head and moved a little away from him. He didn't speak or move, but Xu Yixue could still clearly feel the chill. His gaze was intense as he looked at her.

"Are you so afraid of me" His voice rose a notch, low but laced with anger, and a hint...of hurt.

Xu Yixue was about to speak, but as she looked up, all she saw was his appearance.

To be honest, this was the most delicate face she had ever seen. Her phoenix eyes glanced, her thin lips were tightly pressed together, and her features were as delicate as if they were carved by a knife. The whole person exuded an air of nobility.

At this moment, he was staring at her with wide eyes. His dark eyes burned with a hint of anger, his brows furrowed in confusion.

Xi Yixue let out a breath of relief, and the fear that had gripped her lessened. "Mr. Gu,"

"Scared" He shifted slightly, taking long strides towards her until he was right in front of her. His voice was filled with sorrow, a far cry from the imposing tone he had just moments ago.

Before Xu Yixue could speak, she just looked at him, her eyes full of sadness. Her heart ached suddenly, and no matter what, she couldn't bring herself to say yes.

"No."

"You really won't lie!" His voice softened a few points, looking at her pitiful appearance, his mood actually became pleasant.

"Mr. Gu, how did you end up at our Imperial University" Xu Yixue looked at him.

He didn't speak right away, as if he was thinking about something. His gaze was distant and his expression focused. Xu Yixue realized that up close, he was really handsome!

With deep features and an otherworldly air, he was so handsome that it was unbelievable. He was even more handsome than her brother by several times.

Xue's mind immediately filled with these thoughts, but even she hadn't expected to have such a high opinion of someone she had only met three times.

After a long silence, he finally spoke softly: "Find your principal!"

"Ah, what" Xu Yixue was immersed in his appearance and was startled by his sudden words.

“Let’s talk to the principal about this,” he said, seemingly aware of her distraction, with a hint of amusement in his voice.

Xu Yixue looked at his face, sighing inwardly, what's the use of being so handsome!

Ahem...

Xu Yixue coughed awkwardly a few times. She had just looked a few more times, that's all. It's okay, it's okay, she wouldn't be discovered.

"That's all, you should be busy first. I'll leave now." Xu Yixue moved her body and her face flushed slightly. Only then did she realize that she was actually shy. She was known for being cold after all.

"Lunch together" he asked, his voice laced with anticipation. pursed, cold and devoid of any emotion.He suddenly reached out, his hand resting on her small face, helping to tuck the stray strands of hair behind her ears.Xu Yi Xue's carefully constructed facade...
