Oh no, my deskmate is a yandere!

However, judging by the timeline, she should have already gone to the capital by now.

"..."

I hope I'm just overthinking it.

Yang An withdrew his gaze and took a deep breath.

"...I like playing badminton, but I'm not very good at it. If any of you are interested in playing sometime, feel free to ask me to play a match. Thank you!"

On stage, the girl seemed a little nervous, but thankfully she performed fairly well.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the seats.

After a moment of silence, no more students came, but the counselor walked onto the podium.

"Cough cough."

The counselor coughed twice, waking up some of the people who were sleeping in their seats, who looked over with confused eyes.

"The next student is a girl from Xun City. Hmm... I thought about it and decided to go up on stage and say a few words first."

She smiled and said, "This student is not only the top science student in Xun City, but also the number one freshman in our college."

"Her scores were high enough to get into a university in Beijing, but after careful consideration, she chose to come here, which really surprised and delighted several teachers in our college."

"Choosing us shows that you trust our teaching. Originally, after discussing with the college leaders, I decided to transfer such a promising student to the base class for training."

"But she was determined to stay in our hospital, which also exceeded our expectations."

"I think that people like this are worth getting to know and learning from, and this will also help you improve your future university life."

"Alright, that's enough talk. Let's hand the stage over to this student. Please give him a warm welcome!"

To be honest, such a grand display left the students on the field looking at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone here is an outstanding individual from their respective regions. Although they may not be the top students from their hometowns, they are still among the best.

The fact that the counselor himself gave the opening remarks immediately caught their attention.

As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause broke out.

Seeing this, Yang An also started clapping.

He was also curious about who this newcomer, with such a grand display of talent, was.

Xunshi, isn't that his hometown?

Could it be... that top student from No. 2 High School who repeated a year?

I heard that her grades were just as good as that woman's, and she got into this school too?

Soon, to his puzzled gaze, a girl slowly stood up in the front row.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

This... isn't this the girl who looked familiar to him just now?

He remembered that capable person from No. 2 Middle School; it seemed to be a boy.

The girl walked slowly and steadily.

Under the satisfied gaze of the dean and several leaders, she stood on the podium, her face fully revealed to everyone.

"Wow, bro, look! She's a stunning beauty!"

"Seriously? What's wrong with our School of Information Science and Technology this year? It's one thing to have a lot of girls, but why is there another 'hot item' here?"

"Putting everything else aside, that face, that ability... sigh, Lao Fu, didn't you say you were looking for high-quality female college graduates?"

"..."

The audience buzzed with discussion, their excited gazes meeting and then all focusing on one person on stage.

Even some of the girls had stars of admiration in their eyes.

Before the girl could even speak, applause erupted once again.

And this time, it was more enthusiastic than ever before.

The girl's calm, unwavering eyes casually swept across the freshmen below the stage, as if searching for something.

Finally, at the very back of the row, a figure with its head down came into her view.

She paused for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Her stunning beauty was enhanced by this smile, adding a touch of gentleness to her already gorgeous face.

My deskmate.

Got you.

"My name is Jiang Nianxi, and I come from Xun City."

"..."

"Hey, Yang An, that beautiful woman is from your hometown."

Guo Ji scratched his head and nudged the person next to him with his elbow.

There was no response or reply.

He turned his head in confusion, only to see Yang An slumped over the table, his head buried in his arms.

It seems... it's still trembling slightly?

"Yang An?"

He touched it again.

However, Yang An was already gripped by extreme panic and unable to extricate himself.

Jiang Nianxi.

Jiang Nianxi.

Jiang Nianxi.

How could it be her!

How could it be her!

She...she went to the capital, didn't she?!

Why would someone appear at the freshman orientation?!

No, it must be a hallucination, it must be a hallucination!

Maybe...maybe it's just a coincidence that we have the same name?

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with hope, and looked at the figure on the podium.

Reality was destined to leave him in despair.

Because Jiang Nianxi had been staring at him the whole time before he even looked at her.

Their gazes met, yet they felt like tiny steel needles piercing deep into Yang An's soul.

Yang An only glanced at it before feeling completely drained, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Goosebumps uncontrollably appeared on my back.

The overwhelming sense of absurdity almost overwhelmed him.

Because of names, people can have the same name.

Results can also be coincidental.

But their appearance is unique.

That possessive gaze struck straight to his soul.

His body trembled even more violently.

That's impossible.

If, if Jiang Nianxi hadn't applied to Beijing University at all, but instead had applied to Xuancheng University from the beginning.

What about all that effort I put into escaping?

What does it count for?

Is it an elaborately choreographed one-man clown?

No wonder that day, when he held a knife to his own neck at the door, Jiang Nianxi only struggled for a few seconds before stepping aside.

Oh, I see... haha...

It turns out, he hadn't escaped Jiang Nianxi's grasp at all!

All of this is nothing more than a much larger plan than imprisonment.

It was a plan he had devised before the college entrance exam, a plan for his future!

No, it's about creating an even bigger cage!

"...Also, that's my boyfriend, Yang An. I hope you won't disturb our private life. That's all, thank you everyone."

Jiang Nianxi glanced at Yang An at the very back of the row, at his terrified expression as if he had seen a ghost, and left with this meaningful remark.

He then bowed slightly and stepped down from the podium.

Clearly, the fact that this beautiful woman, who could easily be considered the most beautiful girl in her department or even the school, said she had a boyfriend left many male students speechless.

Their gazes followed the direction of the other's finger and focused on Yang An.

For a time, there was envy, jealousy, but mostly just simple curiosity.

With so many eyes on him, Yang An, who was already panicked, shrank back even further.

But there's a wall behind me, so where is there any room to back up?

"Sigh... Lao Fu, all the high-quality female college students have already been taken, you're out of luck..."

"666, he's already enjoying good fortune right from the start. This guy is really capable, I acknowledge his abilities."

"I went there. You think you can steal someone else's girlfriend? You're kidding me..."

Jiang Nianxi stepped down from the podium, but instead of returning to her seat, she slowly walked down the aisle to the back row.

The leaders and instructors in front saw it, but did not stop it; they just looked at each other and smiled.
