The office door was pushed open, and Wen Xi, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and light gray jeans, with the hem of her shirt tucked in and her hair in a high ponytail, stood gracefully against the door.

As she passed by the medical school, Wen Xi suddenly remembered that she should say hello to her mentor, Professor Gu, so she put on her backpack and entered the elevator.

Gu Lianyu looked up, his pupils contracting.

He Tingchu's heart skipped a beat. He stared at her blankly, their eyes meeting. It was true, he could run into acquaintances anywhere.

"Professor Gu, I am your student, Wen Xi."

"Oh, Wen Xi, come in quickly." Gu Lianyu waved to her warmly.

Wen Xi gracefully approached Gu Lianyu, a polite smile on her face. She glanced at the man beside Gu Lianyu, exchanging a look with him.

Wen Xi: [What are you doing here?]

He Tingchu frowned: [Who says I can't come?]

Don't ruin my image, you didn't let something slip, did you?

I don't want to answer.

...

"Wen Xi, I have very high standards. Although you were quite excellent in your undergraduate studies, you absolutely cannot slack off after the start of the semester," Gu Lianyu suddenly said.

"Yes, teacher, I also want to learn some real skills from you."

"Great, I'll add you to the group. You're my only first-year graduate student, but you have senior students who are all doing residency training. You can ask them for help if you don't understand anything, and feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."

"Okay, thank you very much, teacher. Oh, by the way, these are some local specialties I brought from Haicheng. Please accept them." Wen Xi hurriedly took out the various gifts that Xie Chunxi had prepared for her from her backpack.

"This is a shoulder massager. Teacher, you can use it to soothe your nerves after surgery. This is American ginseng to replenish qi, and this is a nutritional supplement... to replenish blood..." Wen Xi took them all out at once and placed them on the table.

Gu Lianyu was completely bewildered and didn't notice that He Tingchu's face suddenly turned dark.

His wife is truly a respectful and obedient student.

"Old Gu, isn't this against the rules?" He Tingchu said deliberately in a muffled voice from behind.

He talks too much!

"Yes, I can't accept it," Gu Lianyu interrupted.

"Teacher, these are just a token of my appreciation, and they're worthless. They definitely don't violate any school rules." Wen Xi's face turned bright red, and she was almost crying as she hurriedly explained.

She studied Kyoto University's regulations before preparing these gifts, and they complied with the relevant rules.

"This..." Gu Lianyu said with a straight face.

Wen Xi was almost in tears, his eyes were bloodshot.

Did she make a mistake on her first day of school?

"It's alright, I appreciate your kindness. Give them all to my senior brothers and sisters and let them eat them for me. As for the massage device, I'll keep it. From now on, focus on your studies and stop with these empty formalities. My students earn their living through their abilities."

"I understand, teacher." Wen Xi clasped his hands together and lowered his head timidly.

"I've read your papers, and they're all quite good. These books are ones I picked out for you in advance. Take them back and study them carefully. Use these six months to build a solid foundation in surgery, and then you'll start your residency training."

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Gu Lianyu still had some things to say, and when he turned around, he found that He Tingchu was still there. His disdainful gaze grew stronger and stronger.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? I have something to do, so I can't have dinner with you today. Oh, Wen Xi, let me introduce you. This is Professor He from the Physics Department. We were high school classmates."

"Oh, Teacher He - hello." Wen Xi blinked and spoke up.

He's not good.

"Heh." The man's eyes were deep, his body brushing against her arm, bringing waves of undeniable heat. He closed the door and left with a dark expression.

"Wen Xi, are you alright later? I'll take you to the lab to meet your senior classmates."

-

When Wen Xi saw her senior classmates leaving the medical school, it was already evening. She went straight back to her dormitory.

Fortunately, He Tingchu kept his word and did not expose their relationship.

Gu Lianyu seemed completely unaware of the relationship between the two, and Wen Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She swiped to open her phone, and a message from He Tingyou came in.

[Qiqi, I'm downstairs at your dorm.]

Why is He Tingyou here?

This is terrible!

She didn't want to become famous in this way on her first day of school.

She didn't know what outrageous things He Tingyou might do.

Was it because she hit him?

He came for revenge?

-

That afternoon, He Tingyou returned to the film set after being assaulted. He was still angry and in a bad mood, and his perceptive assistant came over to check on him.

"Brother, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"Yeah, I got hit by a woman."

"Which woman dares to hit you, bro?"

"A woman I'm quite interested in!"

"Brother, is it that blind date? Is that all? As the saying goes, 'Spare the rod and spoil the child,' right?" The assistant seemed indifferent.

"My girlfriend hits me every few days, but in reality, she loves me to death."

"Really?" He Tingyou's eyes shone brightly.

"A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. She's using tricks to attract your attention. Besides, brother, who are you? You're the big star He Wangye! Who in this world wouldn't love you? She must be facing a lot of crises, so she cares about you."

The assistant's words make sense.

How could Wen Qiqi not like him? She had loved to cling to him since she was a child; his charm was irresistible.

She was forced to marry his older brother; they had no feelings for each other, and Wen Qiqi was most afraid of his older brother, so he was even more afraid!

Wen Qiqi had previously said that his older brother was a great demon king and that his room was a demon's lair.

He was wrong. Yes, he should go find Wen Xi. He can wait for her; at worst, he can wait for her to get a divorce.

Thinking of this, He Tingyou could no longer sit still, so he grabbed his car keys and left the film set.

"Brother, I'm going to take your picture right away."

"My wife's gone, what's the point of taking pictures?"

Zhou Yi finished her makeup and looked ready when she saw He Tingyou was about to leave. She quickly asked him what was wrong.

"Tingyou, where are you going? It's our turn to film our scene!"

"Tell the director I'll be back soon, let's shoot the rest first." He Tingyou said this and then disappeared.

"Where is he going?" Zhou Yi asked her assistant.

"Sis, I think my brother has someone else in his heart!"

Zhou Yi's face was gloomy, and she bit her lip hard without making a sound.

-

Wen Xi hurried towards the dormitory building. Sure enough, a Porsche was parked under the banyan tree downstairs. As the sun's afterglow faded, He Tingyou, wearing a baseball cap and a black trench coat, stood under the dim streetlights.

Fortunately, he knows how to protect his image as a big star.

Even so, his outfit still attracted curious glances from some girls. Wen Xi held the phone, dialed the number, and asked in a low voice,

What are you doing here?

"Qiqi, where are you? I can't see you. I acted impulsively today, I'm sorry! I know you were forced to marry my older brother, I don't blame you, I'm the one who hurt you, please forgive me?"

"I'm fine. Our grudges are over. Go back now and don't come looking for me again."

"I won't leave until I see you today."

He Tingyou became stubborn again.

"I'm right across from you," Wen Xi had no choice but to lower her voice.

He Tingyou's gaze locked onto her across the street. "Can we talk to each other face-to-face?"

"I'll only give you ten minutes." Wen Xi hung up the phone and quickly disappeared into the nearby green belt.

She didn't know what He Tingyou wanted either.

But since things had already come to this point, Wen Xi thought it was better to clarify some things once and for all.

He Tingyou returned to his car, took a large bouquet of pink roses, and went to a secluded greenway. The lush green trees provided excellent shade from the crowd.

"Qiqi, I didn't consider your situation at the time. I was really wrong. But I know you were forced to marry my brother. You can get married or divorced. Marriage is free now. I will wait for you." As soon as He Tingyou said this, Wen Xi felt a chill run down her spine.

"Shut up," Wen Xi snapped.

"You have no feelings for my older brother; you like me, don't you?"

"He Tingyou, you are as confident as ever. I admit, I am attracted by looks. He Wangye, your star aura did attract me briefly, but from the moment you ran away from your wedding, I knew I had misjudged you."

"Qiqi, I looked at your social media, it's all about me. You clearly like me, you're lying, you're being hypocritical." He Tingyou scrolled through Wen Xi's WeChat Moments and discovered that Wen Xi had been secretly following him for three years.

She was even one of his first fans when he debuted.

"Qiqi, I was wrong. Please hit me. Will hitting me make you feel better? If so, just like when we were kids, please hit me. I promise I won't fight back." He Tingyou stepped forward, grabbed Wen Xi's slender white wrist, and pressed it firmly against his chest.
