The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

Behind the campus, the helipad.

The helicopter's rotors were still turning slowly, and the wind they generated flattened the grass on the lawn.

The paint on the fuselage gleamed with a matte sheen in the sunlight, and the Lu Group logo was printed on the tail fin.

The hatch opened, and Lu Xingzhou bent down and stepped out.

He was wearing a dark gray suit, a white shirt, and a dark blue tie, with his jacket unbuttoned.

The suit was made of excellent fabric and the cut was so perfect it looked like it was an extension of his body.

His hair was neatly combed, without a single stray hair; his forehead was smooth, and his brow bones were high and sharp.

His skin was so fair that even the color of his lips appeared pale.

He has a high, straight nose, thin, slightly pursed lips, and a jawline that looks as sharp as if it had been cut with a knife.

As he walked down the gangway, he raised his hand and slowly buttoned up his suit jacket.

The movements, from bottom to top, were unhurried and graceful, exuding elegance and nobility.

The assistant followed behind, holding a folder in his hand, his lips moving slightly as he reported on today's schedule.

"Mr. Lu, there's a video conference with Mr. Zhang from Shenghua at 10:30, ending at 11:40..."

"put off."

Lu Xingzhou's voice wasn't loud, but his unquestionable tone immediately silenced his assistant.

"Yes."

The assistant swiped on the tablet: "Well... at 2 PM..."

"Postpone everything."

The assistant opened his mouth as if to say something, but looking at Lu Xingzhou's profile, he swallowed his words.

He had followed Lu Xingzhou for two years and knew that when this man said "postpone," he meant "don't bother me."

Lu Xingzhou walked to the edge of the tarmac and stopped.

You can see the campus of St. Lia's College from here.

The red brick walls of the teaching building glowed warmly in the sunlight, the glass curtain wall of the library reflected the blue of the sky, and the sycamore trees lining the tree-lined avenue were lush and green, like a green river.

His gaze fell on the tree-lined avenue.

It's empty.

nobody.

"Mr. Lu,"

The assistant stepped forward and respectfully handed over a document: "This is the information you requested about the eldest daughter of the Li family."

Lu Xingzhou didn't answer. He simply stared at the empty tree-lined path, a slow smile creeping onto his lips.

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Li family is studying here?"

The assistant paused for a moment, then immediately replied:

"Yes. Li Ruo, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, entered St. Lia's College of Arts with a score of 739. She is reporting for duty today."

Lu Xingzhou turned his gaze away from the tree-lined path, lowered his head, and looked at the buttons of his suit jacket.

He stretched out his finger and touched the top one, his fingertip gently tracing the metal surface.

"After I finish my business, I'd like to meet this young lady."

The assistant held his breath, waiting for him to continue.

Lu Xingzhou raised his head and looked at the white teaching building in the distance.

Sunlight danced on the glass curtain wall on the rooftop, making him squint slightly.

"Let's see if she's as the rumors say."

The curve of his lips deepened slightly: "So beautiful that you dare not let anyone get close."

He put his hands in his pockets and walked toward the campus.

His assistant followed behind him, still holding the document in his hand, unsure whether to put it away.

"Mr. Lu," he asked cautiously, "you mean... finished the business?"

Lu Xingzhou did not answer.

He has already gone far away.

On campus, newly arrived students walked around in twos and threes, some dragging suitcases, some looking for directions with maps, and some making phone calls.

No one noticed the man who stepped off the tarmac, and no one noticed that this man was Lu Xingzhou, a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles who was on par with the Li family.

But everyone noticed his face.

With that level of looks, even if you were wearing a burlap sack and walking in a crowd, you'd still get a second glance.

Moreover, he was wearing a custom-made suit, had his hair slicked back, and walked with a confident stride, exuding an aura of "keep away, strangers."

A girl was dragging her suitcase past when she saw him. The wheels of her suitcase got stuck in the gaps between the paving stones. She didn't look down; she just kept dragging it, her eyes glued to his face.

"So handsome..." she murmured to herself.

The girl next to her nudged her: "Don't look at them, those kinds of people are from a different world than us."

"Can't I just take a look?"

"Your suitcase is stuck."

"Huh? Oh."

She glanced down, gave it a hard tug, and the suitcase wheel came off the gap, making a screeching sound.

She looked up, but Lu Xingzhou had already walked far away; she could only see a dark gray figure disappear around the corner of the tree-lined path.

"So handsome..." she said again.

The girl next to him rolled her eyes.

-

On the tree-lined path, Li Ruo and Xia Qinghe arrived at the girls' dormitory building.

Building A is a six-story white building with ivy climbing its exterior walls. The windows are white and the curtains are light blue.

There is a small garden in front of the building, with several rose bushes, red, pink and yellow, in full bloom.

"arrive!"

Xia Qinghe looked up at the building and took a deep breath:

"This is my home from now on! I want to take root, sprout, and grow like vines in this city!!"

Li Ruo stood next to her, also looking up at the building.

Sunlight streamed down from the rooftop, landing on her face with a warm glow.

She squinted, looking at the window on the fourth floor.

That was her room, facing south, the one with the best sunlight.

"Let's go up and take a look."

Bodyguards and servants followed behind, carrying large and small bags of luggage.

Butler Wang walked at the front, holding the keys in his hand.

"Miss, the room is ready. The bedding has been changed to the lavender-colored set you use at home. The desk is placed by the window, in the light you like. The wardrobe—"

"Uncle Wang," Li Ruo interrupted him, "I can do it myself."

Butler Wang paused for a moment, then smiled and stepped aside.

"Yes, Miss."

Li Ruo took the key and went into the apartment building.

The moment her legs stepped into the stairwell, a deep, magnetic voice came from not far behind her:

"Li Ruo, classmate."

That sound...

Li Ruo froze on the spot.

That voice... it felt so familiar to her.

It sounds like... the voice she often dreams of:

"Li Ruo, in your next life, I wish you happiness..."

Is that really the voice?

That voice that tormented her in her midnight dreams for eighteen years?!

"Li Ruo, thank you for choosing St. Lia! As the principal of St. Lia Noble Academy, I have a gift for you."

Yes... that's it!

Li Ruo listened carefully to the voice and finally confirmed that it was the same voice from her dream.

Does the owner of that voice actually exist in the real world?

Li Ruo couldn't believe it.

She slowly turned around and looked toward the source of the sound.

The man was tall and upright, like a sculpture that had stood for centuries, ancient and dignified.

He stood against the blinding light, making everything seem unreal.

The man's hand reached out from the dazzling light: "Long time no see..."

At this moment, the sun shines brightly, the sky is blue, and the wind is gentle.

The voice I'd dreamed of for eighteen years was waiting for its owner to turn around.

The moment the sunlight fell into her eyes, her eighteen-year-old dream finally took shape.

—All reunions in this world have transcended life and death;

Then, on a sunny day, we met quietly, as the most familiar strangers.
