Zhou Ya instinctively nodded, returned the phone to her friend, and then ran towards the school gate. Seeing Zhou Ya in such a hurry, her friend showed a mischievous smile and shouted at Zhou Ya’s departing back.
"Don’t worry, I’ll ask the teacher for leave for you for the next class!"
At this moment, Zhou Ya’s mind was full of Lin Beichen about to get hurt. Fortunately, the Imperial Capital Normal University and Imperial Capital University were not far apart. Zhou Ya hailed a random car and rushed to the gate of Imperial Capital University at the fastest speed.
As soon as she entered Imperial Capital University, Zhou Ya randomly pulled a student, gasping for breath and asked.
"Stu... student, do you know which... which classroom Lin... Lin Beichen is in?"
The student Zhou Ya grabbed looked at her with a puzzled expression. Zhou Ya also realized that her behavior was a bit abrupt and was about to apologize when she was stunned by the student’s response.
"Of course I know, because Lin Beichen is my roommate."
Hearing this answer, Zhou Ya was shocked, unable to believe such a coincidence could happen.
"So that’s how you two met?"
While walking in the school garden, Lin Beichen couldn’t help but be a bit surprised after hearing Zhou Ya narrate the events. Even Lin Beichen thought it was incredibly coincidental.
"Yeah, I didn’t expect the random person I found to be your classmate."
Zhou Ya smiled slightly, her trademark smile still on her face. Maybe Zhou Ya herself didn’t know that her smile had accompanied Lin Beichen throughout his high school years.
As the high school belle back then, it was impossible for Lin Beichen to have no feelings for Zhou Ya, but after all this time, Lin Beichen felt he could face it calmly.
Just like when he first came to the Imperial Capital, Zhou Ya had said to him.
"Now there are only the two of us from high school in the Imperial Capital, we’ll need to rely on each other and meet up often."
So in Lin Beichen’s heart, he placed Zhou Ya in the position of a classmate, and Zhou Ya actively reaching out to him was just seen as concern among classmates.
"So you’re really going to confront those people from Divine Light Country?"
When meeting Lin Beichen, Zhou Ya directly stated her intention. When she brought it up again, Lin Beichen smiled and nodded.
"What’s the big deal, I can’t let us from Dragon Country lose face."
Under the sunlight, Lin Beichen’s smile appeared so cheerful, making Zhou Ya momentarily lost in thought.
In Zhou Ya’s impression, it was the first time she had seen such a Lin Beichen. She couldn’t believe that in just a few short months, he had changed so much.
"Did you take those things about cultivating immortality online seriously?"
Zhou Ya hesitated for a long time, eventually asking the question she had always been curious about. Zhou Ya didn’t realize that she had begun to unconsciously pay attention to everything about Lin Beichen.
This was probably because they came from the same place, and Lin Beichen became a popular figure online due to entering Imperial Capital University with full marks.
As Lin Beichen’s high school classmate, naturally many people would inquire about him, leading Zhou Ya to become accustomed to Lin Beichen’s name appearing in her life.
"Yes, it’s true."
Lin Beichen invited Zhou Ya to sit on a nearby bench, his hands placed on his knees while his gaze fixed on the pond before him. It was said that men are most handsome when they are serious; at this moment, Lin Beichen before Zhou Ya was probably like this.
"Many people think I’m crazy, I wonder what you think about this."
Lin Beichen suddenly turned to look at Zhou Ya, smiling as he asked.
"This..."
Zhou Ya didn’t expect Lin Beichen to ask her such a question, for a moment not knowing how to answer.
Seeing Zhou Ya’s troubled look, Lin Beichen did not continue to press, instead casually changing the topic to chat about their high school classmates, then talking about Zhou Ya’s recent situation.
Zhou Ya’s family conditions could be said to be average, especially in a place like the Imperial Capital, making her family seem even more ordinary.
So when Lin Beichen heard that Zhou Ya was working and studying at the same time, he wasn’t too surprised.
"But I think working in a fast food restaurant is not a good choice, it doesn’t help your future at all."
After struggling for a long time, Lin Beichen still spoke his mind. Zhou Ya didn’t refute Lin Beichen’s suggestion; instead, she nodded in agreement.
"But I don’t have any better direction at the moment, and besides, even as a student of Imperial Capital Normal University, it’s probably hard to get recruited as a private tutor before graduation."
Zhou Ya laughed self-deprecatingly, but what she said was indeed true.
Because most families who can afford private tutors generally have good economic conditions, and such families wouldn’t hire undergraduate students, they usually choose graduate students from Imperial Capital Normal University, even if those students are more expensive.
"If you don’t mind, I can help you find a good place."
As soon as Lin Beichen said this, Zhou Ya immediately showed a joyful smile on her face.
Although Zhou Ya didn’t know when Lin Beichen gained such ability, in her heart she believed that anything Lin Beichen said, he could definitely do.
In fact, Lin Beichen himself didn’t know why he said such words, he hadn’t even thought about who to look for. But the moment he spoke, Lin Beichen had made up his mind to seek help from Song Xiangdong if he had no other options.
After chatting for a while, Lin Beichen personally escorted Zhou Ya to the school gate of Imperial Capital University. As a well-known figure at Imperial Capital University, Lin Beichen’s every move attracted attention, and escorting Zhou Ya to the school gate became a hot topic among students.
"I didn’t expect that guy to have such a beautiful girlfriend."
In his dormitory, Dongchuan Ichiro saw the photo of Lin Beichen and Zhou Ya standing together on the campus website, and a scornful smile appeared on his lips.
"If you want to deal with Lin Beichen, I think the girl is a good place to start."
Across from Dongchuan Ichiro, Brooklyn sat nonchalantly on the table.
"I don’t think that’s a good idea."
Dongchuan Ichiro frowned. Since the last time he saw Lin Beichen in the gym, an inexplicable fear had grown in his heart.
Whenever he thought about it, Dongchuan Ichiro felt very awkward, but couldn’t deny the fear was real.
"You aren’t afraid of that kid, are you?"
Brooklyn looked at the expression on Dongchuan Ichiro’s face and gave a scornful smile.
Don’t be fooled by Brooklyn’s usual playful demeanor; as the heir to his family, he couldn’t be a true playboy.
Although Brooklyn couldn’t compare to his brother, growing up in such a family taught him what scheming meant, and he had his own standards and judgment.
In his eyes, Dongchuan Ichiro was clearly scared by Lin Beichen. Brooklyn didn’t care if Dongchuan Ichiro ultimately lost face, but he couldn’t accept losing face himself.
His appearance at the gym earlier indicated his involvement in the matter couldn’t be denied.
"If you’re afraid to do it, let me handle it."
Brooklyn bounced off the chair and walked out without looking back.
As Brooklyn disappeared at the dormitory door, Dongchuan Ichiro slowly raised his head. Watching the direction Brooklyn left, a cold smile flashed across his face!
"Since you want to help me find out about the other side, I’ll gladly accept!"
Arrogant Brooklyn never expected that he would be used by Dongchuan Ichiro. What he didn’t expect even more was that his decision today would send him straight to Hell.
