Tianmiao put her round identification plaque into her pocket and once again placed the white cat on her shoulder, heading towards the campus.
As she stepped through the campus gate, Tianmiao felt an invisible barrier, and then the plaque in her pocket allowed her to pass through the barrier unobstructed, smoothly entering the campus.
Just as she entered the campus, someone came up to her and greeted her. It was someone who had been observing her in secret.
"Hi, hello there. Beautiful girl, are you looking for the student dormitory area? I can take you there." The speaker was a golden-haired, chestnut-eyed girl, wearing a friendly smile as she greeted Tianmiao.
"Hello." Tianmiao also returned a smile, "Yes, I’m looking for the dormitory area, if it’s not too much trouble..."
"Of course, it’s no trouble. Follow me, I know the way. My name’s Xia Chuanyue, what’s yours?" The girl carefully observed Tianmiao’s expression as she mentioned her own name.
"I’m Tianmiao." Tianmiao smiled.
"Nice name. Are you from the Dark Night Elf Clan? No, that can’t be, the Dark Night Elves also have pointed ears. But your ears aren’t, oh, excuse my rudeness." Xia Chuanyue said somewhat apologetically. She was always so candid, and it would be terrible if some races minded such expressions.
"No, I don’t belong to the Elf Clan, but I don’t belong to the Human Clan either." Tianmiao wasn’t planning to recognize Xia Chuanyue just yet, but she also wasn’t intending to lie.
Upon hearing Tianmiao’s words, Xia Chuanyue didn’t press further and instead changed the topic: "However, your black hair and black eyes are really unique, very beautiful. I know of a distant place where people look just like that. They have a long history, a charming culture, it’s a very powerful country."
"It seems you really like that country." Tianmiao turned to look at Xia Chuanyue, smiling as she spoke.
"Yes, I really like that country. I want to go see it, but it seems I can’t go, maybe, for the rest of my life, I won’t be able to..." Xia Chuanyue’s voice grew low, increasingly wistful.
Just as Tianmiao was about to say something, Xia Chuanyue looked up at the sky and smiled: "Ah, but it’s nothing. I will strive, strive even more. I want to become powerful and strong. What if one day, I can go see?" After she said this, Xia Chuanyue embarrassedly scratched her head and sheepishly added, "I’m sorry, we’ve just met and I’m babbling so much nonsense to you, I hope you don’t mind."
Tianmiao softly said: "There will be such a day, I believe." Xia Chuanyue, this little girl, for reasons unknown, crossed over to this completely unfamiliar world. Initially, she was also confused, afraid, but slowly adapted and worked hard. She was never a genius, but she relied on her own efforts, step by step, to continuously advance along the thorn-filled path of strength. Though arduous, she never gave up.
Such a resilient and lovely little girl is worth liking. This is why Camille deeply fell in love with this little girl.
"Haha, really? Do you truly believe?" Xia Chuanyue was incredibly happy to hear Tianmiao’s reply, her delicate face blossomed with a radiant smile, "Thank you, Tianmiao. I feel full of energy again, I can fight for five hundred years more."
Just as Xia Chuanyue was leading Tianmiao to the fountain at the campus dormitory entrance, two people standing there saw them.
