After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

The next morning, Zhou Yu took some time to go to school. He was about to graduate, and there weren't many classes. He mainly wanted to go back to get some things.

As soon as I stepped into the teaching building, I heard someone call my name.

"Zhou Yu, over here!"

Without turning around, Zhou Yu knew it was Mu Tianze's voice.

Although the two had communicated online yesterday, this was the first time they had met face-to-face since their rebirth, and they couldn't help but feel emotional.

He turned to look at Mu Tianze and was stunned for a moment.

Mu Tianze was the only person who stayed by his side after he went to prison in his previous life. Back then, his family all stayed far away, but Mu Tianze went everywhere to find lawyers for him, trying to get him out.

"Hey, Brother Yu, I'm getting embarrassed watching this. We're both real men, don't do that," Mu Tianze joked.

Zhou Yu smiled, a warm feeling welling up inside him, but he didn't mince words: "You brat, stop being so narcissistic! I don't have that kind of fetish!"

The two walked upstairs side by side. Suddenly, Mu Tianze mysteriously pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Zhou Yu.

"Remember our promise? To go abroad and try our luck. Here, an invitation from a top game design school in the US, it's for both of us, isn't that good enough?"

Zhou Yu took the application form, his fingertips lightly touching the familiar logo, his heart surging with emotion.

In his past life, he gave up this opportunity because he wanted to be with Xu Xinran, which he now regrets.

"Thanks, bro." Zhou Yu took the application form, his eyes firm.

We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!

Upon hearing this, Mu Tianze smiled smugly: "I knew you would say that."

Zhou Yu smiled. Going abroad would not only make up for the regrets of his past life, but also keep him away from people he didn't want to see. For him, it was a win-win situation.

"By the way, I'm already investigating the matter with the Ji family. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Mu Tianze changed the subject, mentioning the email from last night, and the two understood each other without saying a word.

The two met through gaming and have since dedicated themselves to a shared passion.

Zhou Yu is exceptionally talented, and with his tireless efforts, he has already made a name for himself in the industry. However, Zhou Yu has always kept a low profile, and apart from Mu Tianze, no one knows his true identity.

Mu Tianze was his behind-the-scenes strategist, responsible for dealing with the outside world; the two worked together seamlessly.

In his past life, Zhou Yu had also used this identity to help Xu Xinran solve many problems behind the scenes, which now seemed laughable.

It was already late when the two parted. Zhou Yu held the application form in his hand, pondering how to bring it up with his father, Zhou Zhengwen.

Just as he reached the school gate, a familiar black sedan suddenly stopped in front of him.

Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this Xu Xinran's car?

Just as he was about to turn and run away, the car door opened, and the driver respectfully invited him to get in.

"Mr. Zhou, please."

Zhou Yu reluctantly got into the car, and the first thing he saw was Xu Xinran sitting in the back seat. He was about to make an excuse to slip away when Xu Xinran grabbed his arm and pulled him into the car.

Immediately afterwards, the car door slammed shut and locked, leaving Zhou Yu with no way out.

Xu Xinran looked at Zhou Yu with a strange expression, and suddenly said, "I miss you."

These words hit Zhou Yu like a bomb, leaving him feeling extremely agitated.

Xu Xinran's approach made him feel uneasy, and memories of his past life flooded back like a tide, making it hard for him to breathe.

He gripped the application form tightly, the paper crumpling unconsciously with a grating sound that was particularly jarring in the quiet, enclosed car.

Xu Xinran finally noticed the application form, and her eyes instantly sharpened.

"You're going abroad?"

Zhou Yu felt an unprecedented pressure. He looked up and met Xu Xinran's questioning gaze. Despite his unease, he nodded firmly.

"Yes, I want to go abroad."

Upon hearing these words, he felt as if he had been freed, but at the same time, he felt the impending storm even more clearly.

Xu Xinran's face instantly darkened, and anger surged in her eyes, but she did not immediately lash out.

She was well aware of the mistakes she had made in her past life and the harm they had caused Zhou Yu.

Now that she has a chance to start over, she will never let Zhou Yu leave her world again.

"I won't let you go."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly closed the distance between herself and Zhou Yu, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and pulling him closer to her.

Then, without hesitation, she kissed Zhou Yu's lips...
