"Brother Jin, aren’t you at Jing University? How come you’re here?" Meng Shuqing asked as she moved her feet.
"From today on, you and I will be classmates."
Chu Huaijin, standing at six feet tall in front of Meng Shuqing, was still quite a bit taller than her, despite her height.
"Classmates?"
Meng Shuqing looked at Chu Huaijin with a face full of confusion.
"I’ve come to Beiyang University as an exchange student," Chu Huaijin said happily, "From now on, we’ll be classmates."
Meng Shuqing: "..."
She just wanted to be by herself in one place, that’s why she came to Beiyang University!
Since childhood, she had been well protected by her parents and her brother, so now as an adult, she wanted to venture out on her own.
"You’re not happy?" Chu Huaijin immediately sensed Meng Shuqing’s displeasure. He had deliberately kept it a secret, hoping to surprise her.
"No."
Meng Shuqing forced a smile and said, "Brother Jin, are you living on campus or..." Meng Shuqing’s eyes darted around, wondering if he was going to stay in the same apartment as her.
Sure enough.
When Chu Huaijin said he was living upstairs, Meng Shuqing felt a tremendous amount of pressure!
If it were someone else, Meng Shuqing could refuse decisively like she did with Ding Peng.
But Chu Huaijin was different.
He had grown up with her, like a brother from next door. In Meng Shuqing’s eyes, Chu Huaijin was just like Meng Shulang, a brother, with no other thoughts in her mind.
However, upon gradually realizing Chu Huaijin’s feelings, Meng Shuqing began to distance herself from him.
Even when choosing a school, Meng Shuqing kept everything confidential.
She hadn’t expected that in such a short time, Chu Huaijin would follow her to Beiyang University.
"Brother Jin, since you’re new here today, let me treat you to a meal. Let me, your little sister, welcome you!"
Despite everything, Meng Shuqing was happy.
She emphasized the word "sister".
Chu Huaijin’s eyes dimmed. Even though he understood Meng Shuqing’s meaning, he still wanted to try.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed. Ding Peng went from being determined to absolutely uninterested in pursuing Meng Shuqing, making everyone curious about how she managed to make Ding Peng stop his advances.
Meng Shuqing thought that with Chu Huaijin’s arrival and the fear of awkwardness if their feelings were exposed, she would avoid running into him. But unexpectedly, except for the first day, she didn’t see Chu Huaijin again.
However, news about Chu Huaijin kept coming.
Chu Huaijin, the golden child, with good looks and a good family background, was a top student in the medical department. Within days of arriving, he became a prominent figure, and Meng Shuqing heard many discussions about this new transfer student.
Chu Huaijin was very busy, so busy he didn’t have time to find Meng Shuqing.
Meng Shuqing was happy with the peace, just attending her classes and playing games every day.
The only thing that made Meng Shuqing slightly unhappy was not making any friends.
