The autumn of 1990 was growing stronger.

At this moment, the teacher's unhurried lecturing voice could be heard from the classroom of Jinshi University, with the rhythm of his voice perfectly controlled.

Key points are always emphasized, like a heavy hammer blow to the students' hearts, allowing knowledge to take deep root.

It makes one feel at ease and reassured, as if one has a reliable guide in the ocean of knowledge.

Unfortunately, while the teacher on the podium was lecturing with great enthusiasm, the students below were listless, some even counting down the time until the end of get out of class and whispering among themselves.

"Jingyan, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch after class. Can you come with me?" The person asked cautiously, clearly unsure of herself.

Ji Jingyan, who was in class, was staring blankly out the window when she felt someone gently tugging her hair, which brought her back to her senses.

Then, I heard a soft voice asking a question from behind my seat.

Still dazed, Ji Jingyan didn't reply, but instinctively nodded slightly.

At this moment, another classmate, who hadn't seen Ji Jingyan nod, said decisively, "An Yue, you know our classmate Ji is a maverick. Besides her boyfriend, who else could get her to do anything?" His tone was full of mockery and sarcasm.

Ji Jingyan heard the barbed female voice and felt it sounded familiar. She turned her head blankly and glanced at it, only to find that it was her classmate Xi Xuanyu.

At this moment, Xi Xuanyu was pulling Xu Anyue along, clearly unhappy that her good friend was going to meet up with Ji Jingyan, whom she disliked.

Xi Xuanyu's family is local, a true Tianjin native. She has a somewhat arrogant personality, and her family is somewhat well-known locally, but it's still not quite on par with a real wealthy family.

She always looked down on country girls like Ji Jingyan who came from the countryside to university, thinking that even if they worked hard to get into university, they could never change their rustic nature.

Therefore, she always disliked Ji Jingyan, feeling that Ji Jingyan was just relying on her good looks to attract attention at school.

Every time her classmates saw Ji Jingyan, they would praise her for her outstanding temperament and beautiful appearance, saying she didn't look like a country bumpkin at all.

The teachers all said that Ji Jingyan was a very serious, hardworking, and positive student.

Although Ji Jingyan couldn't catch up with those gifted people even if she tried her best, her earnestness was still something the teachers should praise.

But Xi Xuanyu just didn't like her. She got angry at her pretentious attitude. She always pretended to be studying hard, as if she was the only one in the whole school who was serious.

However, Xu Anyue was not swayed by Xi Xuanyu's temper.

When Xu Anyue saw Ji Jingyan nod in agreement, she excitedly waved her little fist, feeling very happy.

Then, eager to express his thoughts, he excitedly gave Ji Jingyan the "friend card."

"Jingyan~ You're so kind of me. You've really given me face today. Ji Nan and the others said you're hard to get a hold of. They didn't even invite you when they went to the cafeteria. How could they think that way about you? I'll treat you to dinner at the cafeteria later. Consider it an apology for how we treated you before."

Looking at Xu's lively personality, Ji Jingyan felt a hint of envy in her eyes, then smiled slightly, her smile as warm and gentle as a spring breeze.

Xu Anyue looked at Ji Jingyan, who was smiling quietly. Her fair skin, as white as moonlight, shone with a soft glow in the afterglow of the setting sun reflected in through the window, making her smile even more charming.

Xu Anyue stared in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "So this is how charming a hardworking, beautiful girl can be."

Beneath Ji Jingyan's willow-leaf eyebrows were a pair of eyes as clear as a cold pool. At this moment, although there was a smile in her eyes, they were as calm as water, making people dare not look directly at her.

Her features were exquisitely perfect, with a straight nose and pale lips as white as snow. Even without makeup, she exuded a cool and aloof aura.

Her waist-length hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and as a gentle breeze blew by, the strands of hair fluttered lightly across Ji Jingyan's forehead like playful little sprites.

At this moment, Xi Xuanyu, who was standing to the side, scoffed and said sarcastically, "Oh, she's just putting on an act. Who cares about the face she gives me?"

Hearing the voice that interrupted her admiring the beauty, Xu Anyue couldn't help but frown and look at Xi Xuanyu with some anger, "Xuanyu, don't say that. Jingyan has already given us a lot of face by agreeing to go to the cafeteria with us."

Xi Xuanyu pursed her lips and stopped talking, but her face was still full of disdain. She was just a country bumpkin with a pretty face, and Xu Anyue, that good-for-nothing, was clinging to her.

Ji Jingyan still had a smile on her lips, as if she didn't take Xi Xuanyu's words seriously at all. She didn't think there was anything wrong with these words, as it wasn't the first time she had heard them.

She said gently and caringly, "It's alright, it's more lively when everyone goes to the cafeteria together."

Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class. Xu Anyue grabbed Ji Jingyan's hand, eager to leave, "Hurry, hurry, let's go quickly, or the good food will be gone."

Xu Anyue grabbed Ji Jingyan and ran off. Ji Jingyan had no choice but to quickly gather the books on the table and follow Xu Anyue into the crowd towards the school cafeteria.

Xi Xuanyu was a little annoyed by Xu Anyue's ignoring of her, but what could she do when Xu Anyue's family was more powerful than hers?

Her mother kept telling her to please Xu Anyue, so she had no choice but to follow her.

Two of the three walked towards the cafeteria, chatting and laughing. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting long shadows.

Along the way, Xu Anyue chattered incessantly like a little sparrow, trying her best to make the atmosphere more cheerful.

Ji Jingyan occasionally chimed in with a few words, always with a gentle smile on her face.

Xi Xuanyu followed behind, muttering to herself.

Ji Jingyan wore a white dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, and her unique temperament was particularly charming.

She exuded a faint, ethereal fragrance, like a fairy untouched by worldly concerns, so beautiful that one dared only admire her from afar.

Every student who passed by couldn't help but turn around and take a second look at Ji Jingyan when they saw her like this.

As Xu Anyue walked alongside Ji Jingyan, she felt the envious glances from her classmates, and a surge of pride welled up inside her.

Ji Jingyan moved into Xu Anyue's dormitory just two days ago. There were originally four people in their dormitory, all of whom were locals and had some connections.

However, last month, a classmate's parents bought her a house outside the school, and she moved out.

Xu Anyue knew that new students would be moving into the dormitory, but she never expected it would be Ji Jingyan.

The other two girls in their dorm room were somewhat isolated by Ji Jingyan, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

After all, most school dormitories are now eight-person rooms, so it's not uncommon for students with connections or backgrounds to be assigned to four-person rooms.

Ji Nan and Chen Liping were quite surprised that a rural student with no connections could move into their four-person dormitory, and they even had some negative thoughts about her.
