Que Yiu thought his tone had been too harsh, upsetting Qiao Xixi.
Just as he was about to offer an explanation, a soft, faint female voice called from behind.
"Xiao Xue?"
Wen Tingxue turned her head and was slightly taken aback.
"Sister Zhi Shu, Cousin? How come you..."
"We knew you'd be coming to the Imperial University today, so we specifically waited here for you."
Yu Zhi Shu hugged Wen Tingxue affectionately, explaining in her ear.
"I'm sorry, we haven't had a chance to host you since you arrived in the capital for so long, we've just been too busy."
She was a senior this year, constantly looking for job opportunities.
Song Ruining was at a law firm, swamped with work every day.
They had heard that the youngsters were all coming to the capital, but hadn't found the time to meet.
It wasn't until today that everyone shifted their schedules, barely squeezing out some time to eat.
"It's okay, we know you're busy, we don't mind."
Wen Tingxue smiled and waved her hand, the dimples at the corners of her mouth very endearing.
Yu Zhi Shu couldn't help but ruffle her hair. "No wonder my A Li likes you, you're too cute.
"Oh right, let me introduce you, this is my senior from university, and also my current boyfriend, Lin Yuanzhi."
"Hello, Sister Tingxue."
The gentle man nodded with a light smile.
His looks weren't striking, but his demeanor was mature and steady.
He possessed the sharpness of youth and the restraint of an adult.
He was the type of elite that easily caught the eye.

A well-known Shandong cuisine restaurant in the capital.
While parking, Lu Youran sent a message asking if she had bought earplugs.
Wen Tingxue lowered her head to reply, not paying much attention as she walked.
"Careful."
Yu Wenli and Song Ruining both reached out.
"Whoosh—"
Wen Tingxue looked at the stone pier in front of her, patting her chest with lingering fear.
If no one had caught her, she would have fallen hard.
Yu Wenli tapped her head reproachfully, "Just walk, why are you looking at your phone."
Saying that, he confiscated her phone.
Wen Tingxue: "..."
Wuu wuu!
He just bullies her!
When he himself also loved looking at his phone while walking!
Seeing through her thoughts, he glanced at her coolly, "I didn't fall."
Han Yan frowned and looked ahead, ensuring that Qiao Xixi hadn't heard him, and said to Kang Wei with a grim expression:
"Why are you shouting nonsense? From now on, when you see me, call me Boss Han, got it?"
He didn't want the little girl to know his identity yet.
It wasn't that he was afraid of her wanting something from him, but afraid she would be scared away.
Kang Wei and Lan Shuo were confused.
But when Han Er Shao spoke, they had no right to refuse.
"Okay, okay!"
The two nodded quickly.
Han Yan glanced at the men and women beside them, "Are they all newcomers?"
In the capital circle, everyone knew each other.
These people were clearly outsiders, and...
A quick scan of them revealed their capabilities and intentions.
Kang Wei smiled and said, "We're just playing around, they're all quite green, Boss Han, want to pick one?"
"No, thanks," Han Yan waved his hand and refused, "I'm a clean liver and self-disciplined now, I don't indulge in women."
He used to organize these kinds of gatherings.
Whether he knew them or not, they would all gather, eating and drinking to build connections.
Who knows, someone at the table might be useful later.
But now, he really didn't have the inclination.
He didn't even have the interest to look at girls.
However, as Kang Wei and Lan Shuo were leaving, Han Yan's gaze was drawn to a girl with green hair in the crowd.
This hair color was too damn eye-catching.
It was hard not to notice.
Causing trouble, causing trouble.
