A year later.
A silver Bentley stopped at the entrance of Capital University.
Xia Yanran wound the window down and looked inside the school.
After Xia Cha received Xia Yanran’s call, she came out of school.
She was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans with the shirt tucked into the waist of her jeans. Her waist was as slender as a willow tree.
Her long brown hair was tied into a bun. She had no makeup on her face and her skin was as fair as snow.
Xia Cha opened the front passenger seat door and called out sweetly, “Sister.”
Xia Yanran looked at Xia Cha and a smile appeared on her lips. “I’m taking you for a feast.”
“Okay, but you’re not going to care about Brother-in-law?”
Xia Yanran smiled. “He has to work overtime tonight.”
The sisters arrived at a high-end restaurant. After ordering, Xia Yanran asked Xia Cha, “You’re returning to Harbor City in two days?”
Xia Cha nodded. “It’s the anniversary of Harbor City University. Besides, I haven’t gone back for more than a year. I want to go back to Wenfeng County to see my family.”
“I’ll buy some gifts in the next two days. You can bring them back with you.”
“I’s alright, Sister. I’ve bought them.”
“It’s alright, I’ll get more.”
After dinner, Xia Yanran sent Xia Cha to school.
“Cha Cha, how’s your health been recently?”
“Sister has hired such a good nutritionist for me, so how can it not be good?”
When she was in Harbor City, she had nearly lost her child, but the doctor had saved her.
Only the doctor and Junyuan knew that she had not lost the child.
A large reason she came to the capital was because she wanted to give birth to her child.
At that time, she had already prepared herself to be a single mother.
However, she still had no fate with that child.
She had not managed to save the child.
Fortunately, her sister had found a nutritionist to treat her body. It would not be hard to get pregnant in the future.
Xia Cha was disappointed and sad for a while.
Her psychological state had also been problematic for a short period of time, so Xia Yanran had hired a psychiatrist for her.
The psychiatrist was right. She was only nineteen years old. It might not be a good thing for her to have a child at this age.
Besides, did she really want her child to grow up in a single parent family?
It would be unfair to him.
The biggest reason her child was not saved was because she had taken the contraceptive pill. Taking the medicine was also bad for her child’s development.
She had walked out of that dark place this year.
If she wanted children in the future, she could get pregnant again.
But she would never let herself get pregnant before marriage again.
…
On the day Xia Cha returned to Harbor City, she brought several boxes with her.
Xia Yanran was worried about her and sent a bodyguard to follow her.
When she returned to Harbor City again, Xia Cha felt as though centuries had passed.
Before she returned, she sent a message to her roommates at Harbor City University.
They arranged to have dinner together.
Roommate A brought Xia Cha a t-shirt for the anniversary of Harbor City University.
After dinner, they agreed to meet at Harbor City University tomorrow morning.
After Xia Cha returned to the apartment, she took a shower and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
This place was as prosperous as before she had left.
However, such a luxurious life made her feel lonely and sad.
After she arrived at Capital University, she stopped paying attention to things in Harbor City.
She had even changed her phone number.
However, Xia Mo knew her new account. If someone wanted to contact her, it was not impossible to find her.
However, after she left, he had never appeared in front of her again.
During this period, Junyuan and Xia Mo had gone to the capital twice.
Xia Mo had mentioned Huo Heng once, only saying that he was living well now and was in-charge of the Huo family.
Time was passing. People had to learn to grow. Perhaps she should look forward too.
Perhaps because of the jet lag, Xia Cha did not sleep well that night.
When she woke up the next day, there was a faint shadow under her eyes.
Xia Cha put on makeup and put on the t-shirt her roommate had given her yesterday. She tied her long hair into a ponytail and walked to Harbor City University.
Her roommates were waiting for her at the school gate.
“Cha Cha, quick, quick!”
Xia Cha looked at her roommate in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“There’s an extremely handsome and wealthy businessman today. He’s going to share his success story in our school. We have to rush over, otherwise we won’t be able to get the seat!”
Before Xia Cha could react, she was sandwiched by her two roommates and ran toward the classroom for the speech.
By the time Xia Cha was pulled over by her roommate, the classroom was almost crowded with people.
Her roommate finally found a few empty seats in the last row.
The classroom was in an uproar.
Xia Cha had not slept well last night and was a little dizzy.
Not only were the roommates beside her excited, but everyone else who was here to listen to the speech in the classroom were all excited too.
After waiting for about ten minutes, there were some noises outside the classroom.
The principal came in with a young, handsome, and noble man with a faint smile on his lips.
Screams sounded in the classroom.
The man nodded and made a gesture to silence them. The classroom fell silent.
Xia Cha had been rubbing her temples. Seeing that the classroom had suddenly quietened, she raised her head and looked at the stage.
However, what she saw made her blood stop flowing.
She seemed to have been frozen.
She had not expected Huo Heng to be the one giving the speech.
He was also wearing a black t-shirt, casual pants, and shoes. His fluffy hair in front of his forehead was parted to the side, revealing his smooth forehead.
His slender and black eyebrows and bright eyes were smiling slightly. However, if one looked closely, they would see a wide and endless sea.
He had the reserved and elegant air of a rich young master. Especially after he had become more mature and steady, that kind of aura was even more obvious.
“Cha Cha, he’s so handsome, right? But he just looks a little familiar. It’s like I’ve seen him before.”
Hearing her roommate’s words, Xia Cha thought to herself that she had seen him before. He had come to school to fetch Tang Yue, but he had worn sunglasses at that time.
The principal introduced Huo Heng to the students.
He took the microphone and started his speech.
His tall body leaned slightly on the stage, a faint smile on his lips.
His speech were not dull. He was smart, humorous, and charming… Countless pairs of eyes were on him but he was not nervous.
Xia Cha did not know if the other girls heard what he was saying, but she had not. Her gaze remained on his face.
She looked at him, feeling like a century had passed.
The person whom she had once been close to was now unreachable.
40 minutes passed very quickly.
Several girls were holding onto a business book, running to the stage to get an autograph from him.
Two of her roommates ran over as well.
However, roommate A, seemed to be unwell. She handed the book in her hand to Xia Cha and said, “Cha Cha, please help me sign an autograph from President Huo. I can’t take it anymore and have to go to the washroom. Once you get the autograph, I’ll treat you to lunch!”
Before Xia Cha could say anything, her roommate ran away.
Xia Cha looked down at the book in her hand.
The name of the book was “The business tycoon, Huo Heng”
There was a line of words below: “The success story of the tycoon of Harbor City.”
On the cover was a photo of Huo Heng.
He was sitting in his office chair, wearing a tailored black suit. He was looking at the camera with a slight smile, his eyes dark and menacing.
Xia Cha held the book in her hand as if it was a hot potato.
After taking a deep breath, Xia Cha walked forward.
She was queuing at the back of the queue.
After about ten minutes, the roommate who was going to the washroom came over.
When she saw Xia Cha standing in line, she shouted, “Cha Cha.”
The man who was signing looked up at the group.
A few seconds later, he looked away.
Xia Cha crouched down, pretending to buckle her shoes.
The man who signed the document did not see her.
Her roommate looked at Xia Cha in confusion. “Cha Cha, what’s wrong?”
Xia Cha shook her head. “It’s a little stuffy in the classroom. I’ll go out for a walk.”
Without waiting for her roommate to say anything, Xia Cha left.
Harbor City University was very lively today. Many students who had graduated and entered the society were here.
Xia Cha walked to the front of the library.
She was about to go in when someone called her.
“Camellia!”
Camellia was Xia Cha’s English name.
Xia Cha turned back and saw an exquisite boy walking toward her.
Behind the boy was his manager and two assistants.
“I have something to say to Camellia, you don’t have to follow me.”
The boy was Ah Ning, the one Xia Cha had met on the plane when she left Harbor City.
In the past year, Xia Cha had met him several times.
The songs he sang, the famous songs, the lyrics and melody were all written by her.
“Camellia, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Ah Ning had never thought that the girl who spilled her water accidentally on the plane would be so talented. As long as it was a song written by her, it was sure to become the most popular and classic song in the country.
Xia Cha hummed softly.
Although Ah Ning had only interacted with Xia Cha a few times, she gave him a mature and cold feeling that was beyond his age.
It seemed like there was rarely anything that could agitate her emotions.
He even rarely saw her smile.
He was a person who did not like to smile, but she did not like to smile more than him.
“I came to Harbor City to perform at a party tonight.”
Xia Cha nodded.
“I’m going to stay here for a few days, how about you?” Ah Ning asked.
“Me too.”
“Then can I treat you to a meal tomorrow?” After Ah Ning became popular, he had countless fans. In front of the camera, he was extremely cold. But now, in front of Xia Cha, he was like a shy boy.
Xia Cha looked at the nervousness and cautiousness in Ah Ning’s eyes and was about to say something when suddenly, a scream sounded. “Ah, Ah Ning. Is that Ah Ning?”
Ah Ning looked back and saw several girls running toward him and Xia Cha.
He did not think about it and grabbed Xia Cha’s wrist, “Camellia, come with me!”
Naturally, Xia Cha did not want to be attacked by Ah Ning’s fans, so she started to run with him.
The two of them entered the library and ran up to the third floor. Seeing that one of the doors was open, they ran in.
Xia Cha retracted her wrist from Ah Ning’s hand and bent over, panting.
Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong and looked up. She saw Huo Heng, the principal, and several men in suits standing in front of the windows.
Xia Cha’s clear eyes met Huo Heng’s.
