Chapter 2: Unfounded Unease

, but also because its teaching quality and environment are the best in the country.Lao Lu walked in at that moment and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, went to Xue's side."Xu Yixue, if you lose,..."Brother, why did you call so late" Xu Yixue said as she walked onto the balcony.

"Brother, your voice is loud," Xu Hengwen clutched his phone, his fingers tightening at the sound of Xu Yixue's voice. His heart inexplicably felt a sense of peace. Tonight, during his business meeting, he kept his phone in his pocket without even glancing at it. When the business partners were talking, he took out his phone and glanced at the red dot indicating an incoming call from Kyoto University. He told the business partners that something had come up and left. He grabbed his phone as soon as he got out of the hotel and called her without hesitation. Thankfully, she answered immediately.

"Brother, are you working or socializing" Xu Yixue asked.

After the social engagements were over, on my way back home.

"You must have drunk a lot, be careful on your way back. Oh, you won't even cook hangover soup, tough luck if you get a headache! You never listen," Xu Yixue mumbled with a pout. Right now, she looked nothing like the top student from Kyoto University; more like a little woman who knew how to act cute.

"Brother will have Xiao Chen buy hangover soup, okay" Chen Assistant looked at President Xu as if he were coaxing a child to appease a little princess.

Everyone in Ningcheng knows that Xu Zong is the top choice for a husband among women in Ningcheng. He's handsome, rich, and the youngest and most ruthless golden bachelor in Ningcheng. He is cold and indifferent to every woman except Miss Shao. Whatever Miss Shao says goes.

She tightened her grip on the phone in her hand and then let out a breath, barely noticeable, saying, "Nowhere to go, been at the library all day, exams are coming up soon." After she finished speaking, her heart continued to pound rapidly, as if she was feeling guilty about something.

Xu Hengwen didn't answer, gazing out the window at the fleeting scenery. Finally, his eyes turned inward, as if scrutinizing something within the car.

"Brother, brother, are you drunk"

"There's a bit of that, don't study too hard. If you don't pass the exam, just come back home, your brother will take care of you." Xu Hengwen came to his senses and said.

"I wouldn't, I want to earn and spend my own money, and do what I like for a living," Xu Yixue instinctively retorted.

"Okay, if you like it. Come back after the exam break, Mom and Dad miss you."

"Okay, I understand. Brother, go back to rest quickly and remember to tell Assistant Chen to buy some hangover soup. I'll hang up."

Xu Yixue hung up the phone. Xu Hengwen lowered his eyes and glanced at his fist, his quiet phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

—Little white-eyed wolf!s not cold."A playful smile flickered across the woman's beautiful face, her lips still curving upward."Come in," said Xu's mother with a smile.Okay.“Hurry up and come in, your father knows you’re bac...
