Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A few minutes after the results were released, Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen’s names became heavily discussed again on the forum.

People were amazed by how they were in a relationship and could still perform so well academically. This couple was really beyond everyone’s reach.

However, while everyone was envious online, Yang Xin heard Murong Qiao sighing in their room.

It was the twenty-third time.

Yang Xin counted in her heart. There were no classes for that day and the next, so everyone was packing their luggage in the dormitory.

“Qiaoqiao, aren’t you going to pack up?” Leng Yan had just returned from outside and asked casually.

As soon as she entered, she saw Murong Qiao sitting there. It was a stark contrast to Yang Xin, who was busy packing her luggage on the other side.

“I’m not in the mood.” Murong Qiao waved her hand.

She did not have much to pack as there was no need to bring her clothes back. She could just bring her laptop back.

The reason why Murong Qiao was not in the mood was because of the winter break.

The winter break would begin after this weekend, which meant that she and Huo Yichen would be separated for a while.

The two of them, who had just confirmed their relationship, were about to part. No matter how good Murong Qiao’s mentality was, she still felt sad.

“Don’t worry. The winter break will be over soon.” Yang Xin stood up and patted Murong Qiao’s shoulder.

In her heart, Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen’s relationship were simply indestructible. Therefore, the affirmation in her tone was sincere, which made Murong Qiao feel a little relieved.

Just as Yang Xin was thinking about how to make Murong Qiao feel better, she heard her cell phone vibrate.

It was Murong Qiao’s phone.

[I’ll wait for you downstairs.]

When Murong Qiao saw that it was Huo Yichen who had sent it, she immediately perked up and went downstairs without even replying to Yang Xin.

Huo Yichen was waiting below, still wearing the white scarf Murong Qiao had given him.

“I have no choice but to say goodbye to you in advance, Qiaoqiao.” Huo Yichen was chuckling, but he gave bad news.

Murong Qiao ran over but the light in her eyes dimmed when she heard Huo Yichen’s words, and the obvious joy on her face disappeared.

Huo Yichen had just received news from home telling him to go back that day.

It happened so suddenly that Huo Yichen came to say goodbye to Murong Qiao as soon as he booked the plane ticket.

“So soon?” Murong Qiao pursed her lips, and there was no joy in her tone.

She had thought that the two of them would get to officially say goodbye tomorrow, but Huo Yichen’s news caught her off guard, making Murong Qiao unable to think of anything to say. Her mind simply went blank.

The reluctance to part became stronger and stronger in her heart, like a storm on the sea with rolling waves.

“They asked me to go home.” Huo Yichen didn’t say much.

One reason was that he didn’t want Murong Qiao to worry. The other reason was that Huo Yichen was the heir of the Huo family after all. Moreover, he had only been acknowledged by that family not long ago. This meant that he was destined to work harder than ordinary people to cement his position.

For the winter break, Huo Yichen was assigned a lot of things to study, and hence his schedule was full every day.

“All…” Murong Qiao opened her mouth, clearly disappointed.

She wanted to say that she couldn’t bear to part with Huo Yichen, or that she wanted him to stay, but these words lingered on her lips for a long time.

Murong Qiao knew very well that if she told him that she wanted him to stay, he would definitely agree.

But she didn’t want to do that, nor did she want to disrupt Huo Yichen’s original plan. She was no longer a child.

“Don’t be so sad. It’s not like we won’t see each other again.” Huo Yichen ruffled her hair. “I’ll bring you a gift when I come back, okay?”

He naturally didn’t want to be separated from Murong Qiao, but both of them knew the severity of the matter.

“Even if we’re separated, we can still chat on our phones. I promise I’ll reply to you in time every day. If you miss me, call me,” Huo Yichen couldn’t help but remind her.

“You have to eat on time. Remember to apply a hot water bag when you’re cold in winter. I won’t be by your side during this period of time, so you have to take good care of yourself…”

He didn’t stop talking. Every sentence was filled with thoughtfulness and warmth, but Murong Qiao’s eyes became hotter and hotter.

Huo Yichen sensed that something was wrong so he reached out and held her face, making Murong Qiao look up at him.

He naturally saw Murong Qiao’s red eyes and watery eyes at a glance. He didn’t know if the tip of her nose was frozen, but it was also a little red, making Murong Qiao look like a cute rabbit with red eyes.

Seeing Murong Qiao like this, Huo Yichen swallowed the words he wanted to say. He didn’t want Murong Qiao to cry.

In the end, all he said was, “Wait for me to come back.”

No matter what he said during the farewell, it couldn’t compare to coming back earlier. Huo Yichen secretly decided to finish the Huo family’s business as soon as possible. Murong Qiao nodded and had no choice but to part with him.

“I’ll see you when school starts, then,” she said softly, and raised a smile.

Huo Yichen reached out and held Murong Qiao in his arms. After a while, he let go of her.

He turned around and left, leaving Murong Qiao with a back view that was getting further and further away.

After that, Murong Qiao returned to the dormitory, but with a much better mood. She even smiled and handed Yang Xin something.

“Yo, have you been coaxed by School Hunk Huo?” Yang Xin saw that she was happy and spoke boldly.

School Hunk Huo was still the best.

She silently gave Huo Yichen a thumbs up in her heart. Seeing that Murong Qiao was obviously in a much better state than before she went out, Yang Xin felt that this couple was more real than gold.

“I’ve booked a train for tomorrow morning so 1 might have to trouble you all to wrap things up,” Leng Yan said.

Her house was rather remote, so there was only one train in the morning. She had no choice but to leave the dormitory early.

Leng Yan had already tidied up her own area and helped to clean the ground.

“No problem!” Yang Xin patted her chest. “When the time comes, Zheng Yue and I will clean up together, right, Zheng Yue?”

They never fussed over such a small matter. According to their itineraries, Leng Yan and Murong Qiao would leave first. Thus, the workload left for Yang Xin was rather light.

Yang Xin said confidently, but she did not get Zheng Yue’s answer.

“Zheng Yue?” She called out again.

“All? Okay, I understand.” Zheng Yue’s voice came from the closed curtains.

Yang Xin looked at Zheng Yue’s position in confusion. Although she didn’t see her, she still felt strange.

Zheng Yue rarely appeared in the dormitory during this period of time. If not for the fact that it was winter break and the students were asked to pack their things, they probably wouldn’t have seen Zheng Yue much.

This made Yang Xin recall the exam not long ago. Zheng Yue could be considered the second best student in their dormitory. Her outstanding scores had always been at the top, but she was surprisingly behind by a lot in this exam.

Zheng Yue had disappeared for a long time.

“Is this yours? It fell off the bed.” Murong Qiao picked it up and handed it to Yang Xin.

Her actions interrupted Yang Xin’s thoughts.

Forget it. What happened to Zheng Yue had nothing to do with her. Why should she worry about those things?

After Yang Xin thought it through and stopped paying attention to it, she didn’t see Murong Qiao’s probing gaze when she looked at Zheng Yue.

It was not only Yang Xin. Murong Qiao, who was especially attentive to this matter, naturally noticed Zheng Yue’s change.

In addition to the new dress and bag, Zheng Yue even started to study makeup. Even though Murong Qiao did not have many chances to meet her, she could always see Zheng Yue trying her best to dress up..
