Beijing University's College of Literature.
Wang Ruoxi had just finished a day of military training, and it was finally evening, ti to rest. Exhausted, she and several girls from her dormitory headed to the cafeteria. Even in her military training camouflage uniform, her natural beauty was hard to conceal; on the contrary, it gave her a unique charm. Under the soft evening glow, the sunset illuminated her face, making her radiantly beautiful.
Although school had only recently started and military training was still underway, she had already caught the attention of many male students in the College of Literature. She had even earned the nickna "Flower of the Departnt," and so called her the purest Flower of the Departnt.
After all, Wang Ruoxi had a 'first love' face. Her features were incredibly delicate, and her figure petite yet curvaceous. She was, simply put, the ideal girlfriend every guy dread of.
Now, on her way to the cafeteria, a large group of boys was waiting, hoping to catch a glimpse of her.
"WOW, WOW, WOW! Wang Ruoxi! Yes, it's Wang Ruoxi!"
"So beautiful! So pure! Truly, so pure! AH! I'm in love!!"
"I'm going to pursue her! Rivals, draw your swords!!"
Many boys exclaid excitedly. Their gazes on Wang Ruoxi were unbearably intense, their eyes almost shining. It was as if they were ready to rush over, hold her in their arms, and cherish her.
However, most of the boys were quite timid. In the face of such a pure Goddess, they adopted an attitude of admiration from afar, not daring to approach too familiarly. Of course, there were also plenty of upperclassn, those "old drivers," itching to try their luck. In their eyes, a pure and fresh first-year student like Wang Ruoxi was the easiest to approach. Besides, a beauty of her caliber, with a face that symbolized first love and purity, was worth all the ti and effort to win over.
"Ruoxi, you're really popular," said the girl next to Wang Ruoxi with so envy. Her na was ng Suya, Wang Ruoxi's roommate. Though she was also quite attractive, she was only above average in appearance, with a thin build and less distinct curves. Compared to Wang Ruoxi, the difference was quite significant.
"..." Wang Ruoxi fell silent for a mont before shaking her head and smiling lightly. "Ya Ya, let's just think about what to eat tonight; I'm starving."
Seeing her change the subject, ng Suya and the other girls said no more. They were roommates and would be living together for four years, so maintaining a good relationship was important, a fact everyone understood.
Wang Ruoxi breathed a small sigh of relief. But listening to the boys' comnts around her, Qin Heng's image involuntarily surfaced in her mind. That extraordinarily valiant man! Like a Heavenly God, he saved
from my distress. I wonder where he is right now? He seems to be in the History Departnt. After the military training ends, I'll go find him. Yes, I'll ask him out to dinner to thank him.
Fantasizing about inviting Qin Heng to dinner and being alone with him, Wang Ruoxi's cheeks couldn't help but turn pink. The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was sowhat inappropriate. Shaking her head, she thought to herself, Wouldn't that be too forward? What if Qin Heng thinks less of ? Ah, I'm so conflicted!
She began to worry again. Then, another thought struck her, and she suddenly stopped walking, murmuring to herself, No! If it's just inviting him to a al, wouldn't that be too hasty? I... I should probably buy him a gift.
"Hey, hey! Ruoxi, Ruoxi??" ng Suya waved her hand in front of Wang Ruoxi's eyes. "Are you okay?"
"Ah! Ah??" Wang Ruoxi snapped back to reality. Recalling her state from monts before, her pretty face turned an even deeper red. She whispered, "No, nothing's wrong. Let's just continue to the cafeteria."
"Continue to the cafeteria? We've already walked past it." ng Suya covered her lips, trying not to laugh. She said gleefully, "Ruoxi, just now you looked like soone had stolen your soul away! Your face was so red, like it was flushed with blood. Tell , were you thinking about a boy you like??"
"Ruoxi, you have a boy you like? Wow! Who is this? He must be amazing! It's only been a few days, and he's already managed to steal the soul of our College of Literature's Flower of the Departnt??"
"I really want to et this guy. He must be incredibly impressive. Aren't those guys who ca to gawk at Ruoxi going to cry their eyes out??"
The other two girls, also Wang Ruoxi's roommates, exclaid in shock. They had seen Wang Ruoxi's recent state and were extrely curious.
"Ah?? Is it that obvious?" Wang Ruoxi felt at a loss, her face turning blood red, looking radiant and alluring. She lowered her head and said, "No, not really! Actually, it's not that I like him... it's just, at most, I have... so good feelings for him??"
Although she said this, only she knew that the figure, like a Heavenly God, had been completely imprinted on her heart, occupying all the space within.
"Wow! Judging by your expression, you think that boy might not accept you?" ng Suya looked at Wang Ruoxi incredulously. "Is he that impressive? What kind of guy is so remarkable??"
"I... I was thinking about what kind of gift to give him," Wang Ruoxi said. "He helped
before, and I want to thank him. Um, he's in the History Departnt."
"It's actually one of those unromantic guys from the History Departnt? No wonder!" ng Suya nodded. "The History Departnt, huh? That's easy. They definitely like ancient books and such. Let's go to the bookstore up ahead and buy a book!"
"A book?" Wang Ruoxi was taken aback but felt it made sense. She nodded. "Alright."
There was a bookstore on the Beijing University campus.
Wang Ruoxi and her roommates went there and spent a long ti carefully choosing. Eventually, they settled on a hardcover set of *The History of the Chinese People*—an out-of-print edition, no less. It was probably the last copy for sale in all of Beijing.
He should really like it, Wang Ruoxi thought, happily clutching the set of books as she walked out of the bookstore. She planned to give it to Qin Heng as a thank-you gift after the military training ended.
Her roommates followed behind, chatting and laughing.
By now, the sun was setting, and it was dusk. The sky had already darkened, so they planned to have dinner and then return to their dormitory.
WHOOSH!
However, at that mont, the wind suddenly picked up, causing the surrounding trees to sway violently. Even though it was only September, the wind carried a deep chill, as if it contained ice and snow.
The already dim sky grew even darker. The clouds seed to be drawn by an invisible force, obscuring the remaining twilight. Night appeared to fall abruptly.
The chill intensified, making Wang Ruoxi, ng Suya, and the others shiver uncontrollably.
CLAP, CLAP!!
Suddenly, loud applause broke the silence.
Xun Hanying descended slowly from the sky, riding the wind, and appeared before Wang Ruoxi and the others.
He clapped slowly, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at the book in Wang Ruoxi's hands. He smiled. "Is this the gift you want to give Qin Heng? An out-of-print hardcover book. You really put thought into it."
Then, with a flick of his finger!
WHOOSH!
A powerful gust ripped through the air, instantly striking the set of books in Wang Ruoxi's arms.
RIP!
A normal book could never withstand the Internal Force of an Innate Grandmaster. The out-of-print hardcover set was instantly shredded into countless fragnts, scattering all over the ground.
"What are you doing?! Why would you do this!?"
Wang Ruoxi was instantly dumbfounded, looking at Xun Hanying in disbelief, her eyes turning red. This was the gift she had so carefully chosen to give to Qin Heng! And now it was destroyed!
She even overlooked the various superhuman powers Xun Hanying possessed, her attention completely fixed on the scattered book pages.
"Why?" Xun Hanying sneered, tilting his chin up arrogantly. "If you want to bla soone, bla that little beast for provoking soone he can't afford to offend! Not only will I destroy that book, but I will also destroy you! Everything related to that little beast, I'll destroy it all!!"
Saying this, his figure blurred! He instantly appeared right in front of Wang Ruoxi, his eyes blazing with murderous intent!
Raising his hand, he sent a palm strike directly toward Wang Ruoxi's crown!
