Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

After leaving the Imperial College, Chu Xiaoyun suddenly remembered something, turned around, and returned to the side-by-side, front-facing position, pulling Meng Wenjin's sleeve and asking:

"Brother Wenjin, have you not been back to the Imperial College for a year?"

Since passing the imperial examination and becoming the third place in the imperial examination, Meng Wenjin has been busy with the official duties assigned by the emperor. He uses his usual rest time to take Yin Qian out for fun.

Go back to Guozixue and take a look?

However, after a year, he didn't miss it that much and didn't go back to the Imperial College.

"Well, what happened?"

After getting a nod from Meng Wenjin, Chu Xiaoyun took the book box from Meng Wenjin's hand, ran over to put it into the carriage.

After telling the carriage to wait for a while, she returned to Meng Wenjin and said with a little excitement:

"Brother Wenjin, you must not know that a lot of changes have taken place in the Imperial College this year. Let me take you around."

Naturally, there was nothing wrong with Meng Wenjin, so he followed Chu Xiaoyun a small step back and to the outside, listening to her excited introduction of the changes in the Imperial College.

The first place Chu Xiaoyun brought him to was outside the school where he was waiting for the end of the school day.

"Brother Wenjin, when you were waiting at the door just now, did you notice that there is a tall osmanthus tree in front of our school?"

Meng Wenjin hadn't noticed it when he came, but now that he saw the big tree with lush branches and leaves, he frowned and recalled for a while, then suddenly realized:

"I remember that this was not the case here before. During the hottest time of the year, the sun was very blazing, shining directly into your school."

"Even if there's some ice in the classroom, it would still make people sweat in less than an hour."

"At that time, I would finish school early at noon, so I would go get the ice bowl made by the people in the mansion and bring it to you. I would wait for you at the location of the osmanthus tree now."

"After eating the ice bowl, it won't be that hot."

Chu Xiaoyun also remembers those days. Perhaps the painful and upsetting memories don't seem so scary when she recalls them.

She walked to the big tree, touched its rough and abrasive bark, and sighed:

"This tree is tall and beautiful. It was presented to the emperor by an official. The emperor then gave it to the Imperial College and planted it here."

"If there were osmanthus trees at that time, it would have tasted even better if we could smell the fragrance of osmanthus and eat a bowl of osmanthus honey under the tree."

After passing the school, the two arrived at a new place.

Chu Xiaoyun found the changes and introduced them to Meng Wenjin:

"Look, there are more here now..."

"And here..."

No matter what Chu Xiaoyun said, Meng Wenjin could find the corresponding things in his memory, agree with Chu Xiaoyun's words, and recall the past.

When they arrived at a flower bed full of colorful flowers, Meng Wenjin frowned, a little confused.

He looked around for a long time before he finally figured out where this place was.

"I remember there was a pavilion for enjoying the cool air here before. You were only about ten years old at that time. I asked my servants to bring the prepared meals here, and we had lunch together while appreciating the scenery."

Chu Xiaoyun nodded: "Yes, yes, it is here. And this place next to the pavilion, it used to be a beautiful lake, but now it has been filled and turned into a flower garden."

"Why change it into a flower garden?" Meng Wenjin was puzzled.

Chu Xiaoyun told him what happened last year:

"Didn't the Ninth Prince turn sixteen last year? He was supposed to leave the palace and start his own residence at the age of fourteen, but because of the Imperial Concubine's reluctance, he was forced to stay for two more years."

Meng Wenjin knew this because his elder brother was the Ninth Prince's study partner. Since last year, he had a new place he frequented, which was the newly built Ninth Prince's Palace.

Chu Xiaoyun continued:

"The Ninth Prince left the palace and admired the talent of Dr. Shen from the Imperial College. He would come to the Imperial College to listen to a few classes every once in a while."

"Everyone knows that the Ninth Prince is favored by the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine, and has a great chance of ascending to... that position."

"Then some officials with ulterior motives used their connections to send their daughters to the Imperial Academy, so that they could find opportunities to get close to the Ninth Prince."

"During that time, countless people used various methods to get close to the Ninth Prince. The only one who successfully entered the Ninth Prince's backyard was the one who used the excuse that he had seen his body when he fell into the water and was rescued by the Ninth Prince."

"After that, many more people fell into the water. The imperial concubine was already upset about this, and when she saw so many people wanted to follow suit, she simply had the lake filled up."

Chu Xiaoyun couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the chaotic days last year and the turbulent emotions of many people.

"From this perspective, filling up the lake is a good thing. At least it can deter those who have evil intentions. The Imperial College is a place for study and learning. How can it go astray?"

"But," Meng Wenjin sighed, "it's a pity that such a good lake was filled up."

"I remember that the fish in this pond used to be very fat. A certain naughty kid got hungry and urged me to catch some fish and secretly grill them for food."

Would Meng Wenjin, a student who is liked by almost all lecturers and considered excellent and obedient, do such a thing that violates discipline?

Of course it will.

As Chu Xiaoyun pulled his sleeves, acted like a spoiled child and threw a tantrum, Meng Wenjin could only let it go.

At that time, Chu Xiaoyun was a little unreasonable in front of people close to her, but she was very good at judging other people's attitudes towards her.

Knowing that Meng Wenjin was someone she could bully, she drove her so unscrupulously.

Now that I have grown up and have a sense of shame, I feel embarrassed when I talk about the past.

Chu Xiaoyun's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She didn't care about anything else. She grabbed Meng Wenjin's wrist and quickly avoided the place where her embarrassing childhood memories happened.

Meng Wenjin's eyes fell on the fair and petite woman's hand on his wrist, his eyelashes fluttered up and down, and some feeling in his heart was about to burst out.

But the feeling at that moment happened too quickly, and before he had time to think, he hid in a black fog and became blurred again.

After walking around the Imperial College, the two of them discovered:

There are traces of the two people's time together in many places here, including happy, sad, and all kinds of sweet, sour, bitter and spicy past events.

The good and bad past events, when recalled, become something nostalgic.

And the people who have always been by your side naturally become an indispensable presence in your life.

Chu Xiaoyun was filled with thousands of emotions, so many and complex that it was difficult to tell their specific meanings.

She couldn't help but turn her head and look at the person next to her.

Coincidentally, Meng Wenjin couldn't help but turn her head to look at Chu Xiaoyun because of the image flashing in her mind.

The two met eyes and smiled at each other.

This smile spans countless mountains and seas, spans countless years and times, and is profound.
