Chapter 517: Chapter 515: First Day of College, Meeting an Impressive Person

In no time, four burly men were lying sprawled on the ground.

Although their movements were graceful, the results were devastatingly effective.

This fight had certainly made a name for them in University Town. Everyone now knew that Yanbei University had two new campus beauties, and they were not to be trifled with. Mess with them, and you could be sent flying. In a worst-case scenario...

Seeing that things had gone on long enough, Cao Xinrou and Liu Shiqi quickly stepped in. "Lin Xi, Si Wen, that’s enough! We should call the police."

Upon hearing this, the four burly men couldn’t help but wail in despair. They’d already been beaten to a pulp, and now their assailants wanted to call the police? Was there no justice in this world?!

Just then, a deep, masculine voice spoke up from nearby. "A few grown men ganging up on two young women? Isn’t that taking things too far?"

Wait, aren’t we the ones being ganged up on right now?

Uncle Liu hurried over to Lin Xi and Si Wen, looking them over with concern. "Young Miss, Miss Si Wen, are you two all right?"

Shouldn’t he be asking if *we’re* okay? What’s with that look?!

"We’re fine, Uncle Liu. But I don’t want to see these people in University Town ever again."

Uncle Liu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Xi and Si Wen say they were fine.

"Understood." Uncle Liu bowed respectfully to Lin Xi, then turned to the thugs. "Gentlemen, please come with me."

Follow him? Where else could they be going but the police station?

"We’re not going!" Their earlier arrogance had completely deflated, leaving them utterly pathetic.

The beating had sobered them up completely. All they wanted was to get out of this place as fast as possible and never return. People always said that college students were not to be trifled with. They were learning the hard way that female college students were even more formidable.

"If you refuse to come with me, you will face the consequences."

The thugs exchanged uneasy glances. They didn’t want to go, but the unyielding expression on the man’s face made them fear that provoking him would only lead to a worse fate.

"Lin Xi, who is...?"

"That’s Uncle Liu. He’s a very nice person who helps me by chasing away bad guys. Thanks for your help just now, by the way."

Uh... do the bad guys really need him to chase them away? Well, I suppose taking them to the police station counts as chasing them away...

"You’re welcome," Liu Shiqi said. "Although it looks like you would have been fine even if we hadn’t shown up."

Cao Xinrou and she both realized that Uncle Liu must have been nearby, protecting the two of them all along.

"Xiao Xi."

"Xue Yang!"

Seeing Xue Yang, Lin Xi’s eyes lit up, and she quickly ran toward him. Xue Yang strode toward her, his smile illuminated by the surrounding neon lights.

My fated love will one day arrive on a Rainbow Cloud.

In that moment, the old saying seemed to manifest before their very eyes. The bustling street scene around them seemed to quiet down. When Xue Yang reached Lin Xi, he immediately sensed something was off. "What happened?"

Si Wen explained, "Just now, a couple of tactless guys wanted me and Xiao Xi to have drinks with them, but Uncle Liu has already taken them away."

A fierce glint flashed in Xue Yang’s eyes. He immediately turned to Lin Xi. "Xiao Xi, are you all right?"

"I’m fine! And they helped us out. They’re really good people," Lin Xi said, pointing to Cao Xinrou and Liu Shiqi.

"Thank you," Xue Yang said.

Liu Shiqi and Cao Xinrou hurriedly waved their hands. "No need to thank us; we didn’t really do much to help."

It was true. They hadn’t really been much help at all. Lin Xi and Si Wen could have handled it perfectly on their own. A strange feeling welled up inside Liu Shiqi and Cao Xinrou. Their two roommates were clearly not ordinary people. And this boyfriend of Lin Xi’s didn’t seem to be a simple character, either.

As expected of the capital. Everyone here is so mysterious.

"Xinrou, don’t you think the name Xue Yang sounds familiar? I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere," Liu Shiqi mused, but she couldn’t quite place it.

"Now that you mention it, it does ring a bell," Cao Xinrou agreed.

Si Wen explained from the side, "Don’t bother racking your brains. Xue Yang is a sophomore, your senior." With that, she nonchalantly shifted her gaze elsewhere, looking quite haughty.

"A senior!" At Si Wen’s hint, the realization belatedly dawned on Liu Shiqi and Cao Xinrou.

"He’s the student council president! Senior Xue Yang!" Liu Shiqi exclaimed, covering her mouth in shock. "Oh my god, it’s really him!"

"I’ve heard all about the ’legendary exploits’ of Senior Xue Yang from his freshman year, but I never thought we’d meet him on our very first day of university! Oh my gosh, this is amazing!"

Xue Yang was famous at Yanbei University. Extremely famous. The story went that as soon as he started university, his public confession to an upperclassman became campus-wide news. After she rejected him in front of everyone, he became a running joke.

Most people would have been crushed by such a blow and might have never recovered. Some with weaker mental fortitude might have even been driven to despair. But not him. Through sheer grit and talent, he managed to turn his tarnished reputation into one of widespread acclaim in just a few short months. Afterward, he started a game company and collaborated with the fashion department. Then, just this past summer, he quietly launched a massive marketplace for new-energy vehicles. He had become a legend at the university.

Few people, past or present, could claim such achievements. I wonder if the girl who rejected him back then is kicking herself now, seeing what he’s become. If that were us, we’d probably die from regret. This is the script for a power-fantasy protagonist!

When Cao Xinrou and Liu Shiqi received their acceptance letters to Yanbei University, their first thought was that they would finally be at the same school as this legendary figure. If they could just see him in person, all their years of hard work would have been worth it.

And here they were, meeting him on the very first day. Even more importantly, they were assigned to the same dorm as his girlfriend!

AAAH! Who could possibly understand this feeling of having hit the jackpot?

"So that means Lin Xi is the senior’s mysterious girlfriend."

After Xue Yang became a legend, the thing that drew the most attention was his love life. Everyone speculated about whether he would get back together with the girl who first rejected him. But rumor had it that he claimed to have a girlfriend—and it wasn’t the upperclassman—though no one had ever seen her. Consequently, most people didn’t believe him.

"They’re not just dating. They’re already engaged and plan to marry after graduation," Si Wen interjected, enlightening them further.

"Ah! I knew it! All the handsome guys and beautiful girls get snatched up early. I was hoping to find a boyfriend in college, but now... that seems unlikely."

"Hmph." Si Wen’s response was noncommittal.

Cao Xinrou and Liu Shiqi walked up to Xue Yang and greeted him in unison, "Hello, Senior!"

He’s even more handsome up close. He’s successful, handsome, so good to his girlfriend, and so devoted... My goodness, we’ll never be able to find boyfriends of our own. Comparisons are brutal, and our standards have just been raised impossibly high. We want to cry.
