Winter break flew by, it felt like it passed even faster than the time it takes to go to the bathroom after class, and now it's time to go back to school.

Today, Lin Wanwan wore a white lace cake dress with a mint green cardigan sweater on top, which made her skin look even whiter, like a pure white flower.

Chen Zhi carried a suitcase in his right hand and held Lin Wanwan's hand with his left.

The red string on their wrists was particularly eye-catching under the light, right next to the Longines Master Collection watch that Lin Wanwan had given him.

"You're wearing so little?" Chen Zhi glanced sideways at her thin cardigan, his brows furrowing slightly. "You'll freeze to death when we get to the capital."

Lin Wanwan didn't care at all. "I'll wear whatever looks good on me. Besides, Beijing Airport definitely has heating, and it's a good thing for you to be holding hands with such a beautiful girlfriend like me."

"Fine, you're beautiful, you're aloof," Chen Zhi retorted irritably. "Just don't try to snuggle into my arms later."

"I'll crawl in, I'll crawl in!" Lin Wanwan stuck out her little tongue, looking like a brat.

Three hours later, at Beijing Daxing International Airport.

When the cabin door opened and the cold wind rushed in through the gaps in the jet bridge, Lin Wanwan froze.

As soon as she stepped out of the terminal building, before she could even get into a taxi, she hunched her shoulders and shivered in the cold wind.

"Chen Zhi, I'm cold~" Lin Wanwan looked at him pitifully.

Chen Zhi looked at his silly, clueless girlfriend and sighed helplessly. While unzipping his long black down jacket, he scolded her, "What did I tell you in Jiangcheng? I told you you'd freeze to death in Beijing. Now you know how serious it is?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to take off his coat.

There was nothing he could do; this silly girl was his girlfriend.

Seeing this, Lin Wanwan quickly grabbed his hand, "No, give me your clothes, you'll definitely catch a cold too."

"I'm healthy, I won't die from being frozen for a while." Chen Zhi pretended to take off his clothes.

Lin Wanwan's eyes darted around, and suddenly she smiled slyly. She then ducked down and slipped into Chen Zhi's oversized down jacket.

Two slender arms tightly wrapped around Chen Zhi's waist, her small face pressed against his chest, greedily absorbing his warmth.

"Hehe, this works well, it's warm!"

Chen Zhi looked down at his girlfriend in his arms, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"How are we going to get out of here?" Chen Zhi patted the back of her head.

"Let's take our time, there's no rush." ​​Lin Wanwan stayed inside, refusing to come out, her voice muffled. "If you're tired, I'll hold you tighter."

Passing travelers came and went, and many cast strange glances at the loving young couple.

An older woman passed by and chuckled as she muttered to her companion, "Young people these days really don't care about the occasion when they're being all lovey-dovey."

Chen Zhi blushed and decisively took out his phone to call a private car, intending to send Lin Wanwan back to school first.

Along the way, Lin Wanwan warmed up in the car and started chattering away, sharing the fun stories of recording her new song during winter break.

Chen Zhixian had the driver take the car to the Central Conservatory of Music.

"We're here. Hurry back to your dorm and change into something warmer so you don't catch a cold," Chen Zhi said as he saw Lin Wanwan into the school gate.

"Understood, Butler Chen!" Lin Wanwan gave a playful salute, and when no one was paying attention, she quickly pecked Chen Zhi on the cheek, then grabbed her bag and ran off.

Chen Zhi touched his face, shook his head and chuckled, then turned around and took a taxi back to Peking University.

Pushing open the door to room 404 of Yuanpei College, my roommates were already there.

Guo Yang was slumped over the table, sighing as he stared at the computer screen; Li Zicong sat in a chair, dazed, his eyes vacant; Zhang Tianyang was also staring blankly at the computer screen.

The entire dormitory was shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere known as "post-holiday syndrome".

They clearly haven't recovered from the pain of starting school yet.

"Hey guys, all of you have passed away?" Chen Zhi shoved his suitcase under his seat and greeted them with a smile.

No one cares about him.

Guo Yang turned his head slowly, his tone tinged with sadness: "President Chen, you're finally back. The thought of starting work at 8 am tomorrow makes me feel like I've swallowed a hundred bitter melons."

Li Zicong sighed, "The girls in Jiangcheng are gentle, but the wind in Beijing is like a knife. Chen Zhi, you look radiant; you had a great winter break, didn't you?"

Chen Zhixin said, "How could I not feel good? Managing three things at once almost broke my back."

He pulled a large bag of Jiangcheng specialties from his suitcase, which Lin Wanwan had specifically asked him to bring to his roommate.

"Alright, stop being so sentimental." Chen Zhi walked over with the bag. "You've been so shy all winter break. Here, have some snacks to refresh your mind."

He walked up to Zhang Tianyang first, grabbed a handful of spicy broad beans and cloud cakes and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Thank you, Brother Chen." Zhang Tianyang smiled shyly.

Then, Chen Zhi walked towards Guo Yang.

Guo Yang was scrolling through Douyin when he saw Chen Zhi coming over. He subconsciously moved his chair back and pretended to straighten his clothes, acting as if he was very busy.

One of the strange dormitory rules: When a roommate voluntarily shares food, a lot of things inexplicably appear on their hands.

"Here you go, Guo Yang, do you want some? This is authentic Jiangcheng crispy candy." Chen Zhi shook the bag.

"Huh? What's this?" Guo Yang pretended to have just seen it, his eyes showing three parts doubt and seven parts reserve.

"These snacks were specially bought for me by my girlfriend after she went to several blocks to let me bring them to my roommates to try."

Guo Yang's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

He looked at the bag of candy and suddenly felt a bit acidic in his stomach.

Why do I suddenly not want to eat it? This candy tastes sour.

Chen Zhi chuckled, handed a handbag to Guo Yang, and finally walked over to Li Zicong, who was pretending to examine a watch.

Li Zicong had actually been eyeing the dried meat in the bag for a while. When he saw Chen Zhi walking over, he deliberately coughed, waiting for Chen Zhi to "offer" it to him.

Chen Zhi fiddled with the bag for a bit, making a rustling sound.

Li Zicong waited eagerly.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Zhi pulled his hand away, bypassed him, and returned to his seat.

"Huh?" Li Zicong was stunned, turning his head to stare at Chen Zhi. "Where's mine?"

Chen Zhi looked at him innocently: "Aren't you a rich young master from the capital? What delicacies haven't you seen? I'm afraid my few dollars' worth of local specialties will offend Young Master Li's eyes."

"Damn it! Chen Zhi, you're a real dog!" Li Zicong jumped up from his chair. "Give it to me! That's a token of my sister-in-law's affection. As the dorm leader, I have to be the first to taste it!"

"Haha, just kidding." Chen Zhi tossed the remaining half-bag over. "Good son, you all get a share."

The commotion finally livened up the atmosphere in the dormitory.

While chewing on some dried meat, Li Zicong leaned closer to Chen Zhi and asked in a low voice, "Seriously, Chen Zhi, how's your company doing? During winter break, my dad told me that there's this AI company called 'Deep Space Technology' that's incredibly popular right now, with a valuation of over 10 billion. The boss's surname is also Chen, and he's also from Peking University. Could it be you?"

Guo Yang also perked up his ears and stopped even scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).

Chen Zhizheng, who was turning on his computer to check Moss's backend data, didn't even lift his eyelids upon hearing this: "There are plenty of people with the same name. If I were worth billions, would I be eating instant noodles here with you guys?"

Li Zicong, deeply agreeing, hooked his arm around his shoulder: "Yeah, if you were that big shot, I'd livestream myself eating instant noodles while doing a handstand."

Chen Zhi smiled but didn't reply.

He has been careful not to appear in the media since he started his business, because he is currently juggling three relationships. If this is exposed, there will be too many eyes and ears, and he will be unable to hide the fact that he has three girlfriends.

Moreover, his current girlfriend is Lin Wanwan, who is also a celebrity. One is a star AI entrepreneur from Peking University, and the other is a rising pop star. The two of the biggest influencers together are more likely to attract paparazzi attention, which is even less conducive to his future relationship with Lin Wanwan.
