Xin Lin University-

After the classes ended, Xu Nuan walked out of the college building while carrying the books that she had issued from the library. She groaned thinking about the workload, ' I can't believe that I have to do all the assignments all over again.'

People get tired of doing assignments once in a lifetime and here she was going through the same process all over again, in her second life too. What a pain!

" Hey, Aren't you the famous fresher of the Business Department?" As she was lost in her thoughts, she heard a curious voice from behind.

When she turned around, she saw two men standing behind her. One was looking at her with a proud smirk, while the other was staring at her curiously, with a smile on his lips. She blinked and looked around, wondering if they were talking to her. Because she doesn't know them but their tones were strangely friendly.

" Ermm….You guys are…?"

One of the guys, who is tall and had clean features, said in a charming voice, " Ah, we're your seniors - third year and same department. So you're the famous freshman of our department, you're quite cute, huh." he commented, looking at her with a proud smile.

The other boy standing next to him nudged him and said, " Ah, stop it. You're making her uncomfortable."

He waved his hands and said, " Don't mind him. He is not good at talking to girls. Actually, after seeing what happened on the forum, we were thinking of throwing a welcoming party for you. Since you're new to our department, I am sure everyone must be curious about you."

" So, why don't you join us for the party this weekend and this way, you can make some friends too. What do you think?" He asked.

Unlike the first man, this one seems to be quite sensible. She pondered about it and said, " Okay. I'll try to join everyone for the party this weekend."

In her last life, forget parties, she never got to join any club activity or society as she never visited the college and always worked without rest. Now when she has the chance, then why not enjoy this life to the fullest.

" That's great. I will arrange everything and will contact you after everything is finalized. And for your contact number…." The man stared at her expectantly, waiting for her to give him her number.

His eyes were blinking with excitement as he waited for her to give him her number.

She raised her brows and nodded before writing down the number on a piece of paper and passed it to him. " Here. This is my number. You can message me the party details when it's fixed."

" Ah, okay. I'll do that. By the way, you were so cool in the video. It's my first time seeing a girl who is not only pretty but intelligent too." he said while looking at her dreamily.

"..."

She couldn't help but chuckle at his stupid comment. Does he think that she will take it as a compliment?

After bidding them farewell, when she turned around, she found a man standing in the corner, behind a pillar who was staring at her with his sharp gaze.

She squinted her eyes and gasped to see Han Zihao, who was giving her the death glare. His eyes were sharp as a dagger and were ready to slay those two men who just left.

She walked to him and laughed nervously, " What are you doing here?" She looked around and upon noticing the girls that were ogling at him, she frowned, " Why did you come inside the campus? What if someone recognizes you?"

He frowned. " Why? Are you embarrassed by me? Or are you trying to keep your single status in front of others?" He asked while hinting towards her giving her phone number to other men.

She stared at him in surprise. Is he getting jealous?

She chuckled and shook her head, " They were just my seniors and were inviting me to a welcoming party that they're going to arrange for me. How can I not accept the invitation?"

He glared at her and looked away.

Seeing him pouting like a grumpy panda, she chuckled and said, " I haven't given them my number anyway. So what's the problem?"

He looked at her and squinted his eyes, " Do you think I am blind? I saw you writing them your number just now."

" It wasn't my number. I wrote your number on that slip," she said nonchalantly while urging him to start walking so that they can get out of the campus as soon as possible.

He stared at her in surprise and asked again, " You gave them my number? Why?"

" Do you think I am stupid enough to give my number to anyone?" she asked, seeing how obvious questions he was asking.

In her past life, she never gave her number to anyone. It was Lin Hui, who used to manage everything for her. Then why would she give her number to those fools who think of women as beauty products?

His lips curled up in a smile upon hearing her words. He cleared his throat and to hide his embarrassment and the proud smile, he said, " I wasn't angry. I was just...worried about your safety."

" Ah, yeah, right." she nodded while looking at his funny expressions.

" By the way, are you here to pick me? Why?" she asks while wrapping her hand around his arm.

He looked around and saw the girls stopping and staring at them curiously. His lips curled upwards as he asked, " Is that even a question? As your boyfriend, I should do this much at least. Otherwise, what's the use of having a boyfriend?"

The girls who were looking at them, their faces turned yellow from envy.

[ Ahhh….My boyfriend never treated me this sweetly, not even when we just started dating.]

[ This girl is so lucky. She has a caring boyfriend, unlike mine who always leaves me behind for his bros.]

[ How can he be so handsome? I want a guy like him too.]

[ Oh! Is he the one in the picture in the post on the forum? Is he really her boyfriend?]

[ Damn! This girl must have saved a country in her last life to get such a handsome and considerate boyfriend.]

Xu Nuan pursed her lips upon hearing the comments. Well, she didn't save the country in her past life, but she did save the music industry with her songs.

She could feel her face turning red from heat from the whispers around them. Why is he acting this way suddenly?

-

As she was walking out of the college with him, she could hear the whispers getting louder as more and more people started to gather to see the scandalous girl of the college.

[ OH, isn't that the popular girl of our college? Who is that man?"]

[ Waa! That man….who is he? Such a hottie!!] The girl said dreamily while staring at Han Zihao, who was wearing a formal grey three-piece suit. Although, the suit was not getting along with the youthful and colorful vibes of the college, his perfectly toned and mesmerizing body was making him stand out in the crowd even more.

[ Oh, is he really Xu Nuan's boyfriend? They look quite close.]

[ Aye, the man looks too good for her. Didn't the post say that she has a rich sugar daddy? It must be him.]

[ But wasn't the post fake? How can it be?]

[ You stupid! The rumor about her not cheating in the exam was fake, we still don't know about the other two rumors.]

[ Right! I still believe that she is the one problem here. Xingren can't do something like this.]

Xu Nuan scoffed upon hearing the so-called whispers that were quite loud and clear to her. Even after the proof, some people only want to believe what they think is the truth.

She glanced at Han Zihao, who seemed to be listening to all the gossip as well.

She pursed her lips and just as she was about to turn around to teach a lesson to those nosy students, he grasped her hand. She stared at him in confusion.

Ignoring her shocked expressions, he intertwined their fingers.

[ Oh My!! He held her hands. That's crazy.]

[ Is he showing off their relationship?]

[ Now it's sure he is her boyfriend. No sugar daddy will come to the college to boost their relationship like this. Moreover, just look at his face, does he really need to have a side chick with a face like him?]

[ True!! I am even ready to pay him to be my boyfriend, even for a day will do.] The other girl said, making everyone laugh at her joke.

Meanwhile, Xu Nuan's face turned red seeing his bold moves and leaned closer to ask, " Are you sure you want to do all of this in front of everyone? Aren't you showing off too much?"

"Aren't you the famous businessman whose face comes on the cover of the business magazines? What if they recognize you? "

He looked at her and said while grazing the back of her hand with his thumb, " These students aren't knowledgeable enough to recognize my face. Moreover, even if they recognize, so what? What can they do to me? Huh?"

She raised her brows at his fearless words and chuckled, " Well, that's a valid point."

When they came out of the college campus, her eyes widened to see a shiny luxurious car parked in front of the college entrance.

Does he really have to go this far to show everyone that she is not single?

She covered her face with a palm, noticing everyone's curious gazes on them. Just when she was thinking that people are starting to get less interested in her, he came to break that bubble of hers.

At this time, she was wishing to dig a hole and make a small house for her there. Seems like it's time to go into hiding.
