Zhu Xiyang could add another mark to his list of obtained girls, and he could also brag to his gang of friends about how he got another v*rgin.

However, Wang Nina gave Zhu Xiyang everything she had — her young body and all her heart. She treated him like her boyfriend.

Even though this boyfriend prohibited her from announcing their relationship openly and never walked shoulder-to-shoulder with her outside, Wang Nina still stubbornly believed Zhu Xiyang loved her.

She couldn’t accept the fact that Zhu Xiyang was thinking about Liu Man while sleeping with her. Luckily, the content of the audio recording online was taken off by the admin due to government policies. She couldn’t see them, and nor could she hear them.

Wang Nina called Zhu Xiyang. Zhu Xiyang was already very annoyed, and when he saw the caller ID, he was too lazy to pick up. He didn’t pick up, and Wang Nina incessantly sent calls. It kept on for, at least, more than an hour before Zhu Xiyang finally picked up.

Wang Nina’s doubtful first words were a question: “Why does everyone on the internet say you want to sleep with Liu Man?”

“Oh, she’s talking nonsense in her live-streams, and she’s trying to frame me. Yesterday afternoon, she begged me to change her score and intentionally tried to seduce me. Later on, she realized that seducing me doesn’t work, and she got infuriated enough to sneakily record our conversation.”

Zhu Xiyang’s explanation was too fake and wasn’t credible at all, but Wang Nina believed him. Maybe she was lying to herself. She got kicked out of the school, and in such a big city, the only person she could rely on was Zhu Xiyang.

“My name got removed from the school roll. What do I do?”

Wang Nina knew about Zhu Xiyang’s background, and she presumed Zhu Xiyang must have had a solution. Therefore, she wasn’t worried about this. Sure enough, Zhu Xiyang said, “After some time, when this scandal’s over, I will tell Vice-Principal Li to get your name back on the roll. Even if that doesn’t work, you can stay back a grade. As long as you stay low-profile a bit at school, no one will notice.”

Zhu Xiyang was talking nonsense, of course. He was just coaxing Wang Nina.

Wang Nina thought nothing was more reliable than a powerful backer. Liu Man’s complaint on the internet got herself completely kicked out, but it did nothing to them.

Liu Man deserved it!

Zhu Xiyang stayed at home alone, trying to lift his spirit. However, he felt bored without women with him. He said, “I will message you my address on WeChat. Come to my house later.”

Wang Nina felt elated. She had never been to Zhu Xiyang’s house, so was Zhu Xiyang completely accepting her by giving her such an invitation? Sure enough, one would only reveal true feelings in bad situations.

She quickly prepared herself, put makeup on, combed her hair, changed into pretty clothes, wore a mask, and went out!

At this moment, how could Liu Man have known countless people were wrecking their brains to solve what happened to her. She didn’t care anymore and was busy packing up cat food with her mother in the storage space.

Strangely, today wasn’t a break day for the pet clinic, but Yu Zhan’s shop was closed. On the shut doors was a sign that read “on a break”.

After giving the delivery person the first batch of products at noon, Liu Man finally sat down and took a sip of water.

Owner Wang personally came upstairs to give them their meals. His expression, when he looked at Liu Man, showed a sign of pity. What happened to Liu Man had gotten onto the news headlines in the morning, and Owner Wang had seen it too. However, the news had been censored now.

“Such an unexpected misfortune,” Owner Wang exclaimed, “In the future, just don’t worry and work with your mom. I don’t have much knowledge, and I’ve been in the restaurant industry for a long time, but I’ve still been living a fine life. The money I earn is much more than those white collars can earn; it’s just that I need to work harder and am more tired.”

Owner Wang assured Liu Man, then said to Zhang Pei, “Owner Zhang, your daughter is great! I’m impressed by her courage and that she dared to stand out to fight against the entire school! She’s not like us, who have been defeated by the cruelty of society and always think of all aspects when we do things, not having the bravery to do what we want.”

Zhang Pei knew Owner Wang had a good intention, so she smiled and nodded.

At this time, Liu Man’s phone started ringing. She took it out and was surprised when she saw the caller ID, for it showed Professor Su.

Liu Man initially thought Professor Su was here to comfort her as well. She didn’t expect it when a super happy and excited voice came from the other end of the call, “Xiao Man, are you willing to transfer to Capital University?”

Before Liu Man even had the chance to react, Su Yi continued to say gladly, “You’ve been kicked out after all, and you don’t have a choice. Continue studying here at our Capital University. Capital University is better! You can go to the Chinese major, ancient literature major, or archaeology major. Aiya, I won’t interfere. It depends on you; you can choose whichever major you want to be in. Your transferring procedures are already processing, and you will most likely be transferred in around two days. Are you surprised? Are you astonished?”

Liu Man was already so stunned it was as if she got struck by a lightning.

This piece of news was even more astounding to her than the news of her being kicked out from Capital Music University.

Professor Su said it so easily, but Liu Man understood he must’ve done a lot to support her behind her back. She felt extremely grateful, “Thank you, thank you. Thank you so much.”

“Don’t hurry on thanking me. When you’re officially a student at our university, make sure to remember to send me some presents. I will accept them gladly,” Su Yi joked.

Even after hanging up, Liu Man still felt as if she was dreaming.

Zhang Pei, seeing that she was in a trance, couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “What is this call for?”

Liu Man came back to reality, and her smile was like the sunny sky after a storm, “Before, a professor in Capital University taught me calligraphy and Chinese ancient civilization. He has, just now, told me that he helped me so that I can now transfer to Capital University and continue my studies.”

Zhang Pei, Owner Wang, and the few employees all froze after hearing these words.

Capital University was the most high-tiered academy in the country in the eyes of students who never get good grades. In their eyes, it was the place where straight-A students gather, and one couldn’t only get in by working hard.

Owner Wang exclaimed to Zhang Pei, “How does that saying go again? Getting into a deadlock and reviving yourself. She’s the first person in this country to transfer from Capital Music University to Capital University!! This is so impressive. She’s unimaginably impressive!”

The good news overwhelmed her too much. Zhang Pei felt her heart might not be able to bear it all. This was getting lucky after experiencing an unfortunate event, and they were experiencing the ups and downs of life.

Zhang Pei already had felt it was her ancestors in heaven blessing them when the past Liu Man got into Capital Music University. She didn’t even dare to dream that her daughter could get into Capital University.

However, this Princess did it.

Liu Man told Zhang Pei everything about her knowing how to write calligraphy and Professor Su taking her in as an apprentice.

Professor Su was in quite a good mood after the call with Liu Man. He, who rarely posted on Wei Bo, continuously sent three posts onto the internet.

The first one was a picture of his just-now finished calligraphy work. The ink hadn’t even dried up completely. There were eleven words on the rice paper:

“Even swallowing ice for ten years cannot cool one’s boiling blood.”

TL’s Note: This is saying if one has a persistent and huge aim, no difficulties can make them give up.

In his second Wei Bo post, he wrote: “A warm welcome to our Liu Man, a student with boiling blood, who’s joining Capital University!”

In his third post: “I, Su Yi, formally announce here that Liu Man is my last apprentice whom I am passing down all my knowledge to.”

What he was implying: With me as her backer, I would like to see who dares to bully her!
