Chapter 121 Golden Wind and Jade Dew
And so, in front of the whole class, the top two students in the city, who ranked first and tenth in the city respectively, were once again sent outside the classroom as punishment, carrying their workbooks.
Fortunately, it wasn't cold in April; the spring breeze felt warm on my face.
Xie Junfei finished her English reading assignment. Seeing that the teacher wasn't around, she simply put down her pen, tilted her head back, and squinted her eyes to enjoy the breeze.
Based on my grades, as long as I perform normally, I can choose any major if I want to get into Jinghua University.
Apart from Xie Yun, who went to Hengdian to make his way in the world at the age of eighteen, the other brothers in the Xie family all studied at universities in Beijing and knew some of the professors. By the time they graduated, they had accumulated a vast network of alumni, which proved very useful in their work.
The older brothers have a deep affection for Jinghua University and highly recommend Xie Junfei to study there.
Xie Junfei herself does not have a strong desire to make choices.
After all, the teaching resources of top universities are all pretty much the same. Her brothers have paved the way for her in Beijing, so there's no need for her to suffer without trying and go to Peking University to "make her way" on her own. That would be too foolish.
Seeing Xie Junfei stop writing, Chi Xu simply stopped writing as well.
The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) doesn't have the same strict score requirements as Peking University. With his score, getting into his dream school is a piece of cake.
So while the students in the two experimental classes were racking their brains and exhausting themselves to make a better future, the two top students outside the door began to show their extraordinary ease, tilting their heads back and enjoying the spring breeze that carried the scent of tender grass.
After playing for a while, Chi Xu suddenly asked Xie Junfei:
"I heard from my dad that you didn't spend the Chinese New Year in Beijing this year?"
Since they're all in the same industry, Xie Junfei didn't need to hide anything and openly admitted it:
"Yes, my fiancé and I went back to our hometown in Shanxi."
"They have some family matters to attend to, so I need to go back and take care of them."
Upon hearing the words "fiancé," Chi Xu jumped to his feet like a hunting dog smelling gossip, his eyes gleaming.
"Fiancé? You're engaged!"
Xie Junfei nodded, a hint of hidden happiness in her voice when she mentioned Huo Shen:
"Yes, I met him at Tiancheng Private School before."
Chi Xu stared wide-eyed:
"Who?"
"Don't tell me yet! Let me guess!"
After speaking, Chi Xu squinted and stroked his chin:
"In Shanxi, and among people your age, someone as outstanding as you must have high standards. That man must come from a very good family and be an excellent person too!"
"The most famous family in Shanxi is the Huo family. My goodness, they are both low-key and rich. The amount of taxes they pay to the government every year is astronomical!"
"But now the Huo family doesn't have any young masters studying in the capital. Those in their twenties have basically all gotten married in the past few years."
"If we're talking about families who live in the capital and have connections with Tiancheng Private School, then it's only Huo—."
At this point, Chi Xu almost laughed. How could a big shot like Huo Shen possibly be interested in kids like them?
But then a sudden thought struck him, and he glanced at Xie Junfei as if possessed.
Upon seeing the girl opposite him with a calm and composed smile, he immediately sensed that something was amiss.
"and many more!"
Thinking of this, Chi Xu's eyes widened, and he uttered an answer that even he himself could hardly believe:
"Could it be, could it be you?!"
Seeing that Chi Xu was about to pop his eyes out, Xie Junfei stopped teasing him and casually stated the correct answer:
"Yes, Huo Shen and I are together."
ah? ah? !
The image of Huo Shen immediately flashed into Chi Xu's mind.
Although Huo Shen's main sphere of influence was in Shanxi, his status in the capital was undoubtedly high.
A junior like Chi Xu would never have the opportunity to interact with such a powerful figure on a regular basis.
The only time he ever saw Huo Shen was when his father held an art exhibition. He had sent an invitation to the Huo family at the pre-exhibition banquet, asking Huo Shen to attend.
At that time, countless wealthy families in the capital gathered at the scene. The bosses who usually held high positions were all eagerly waiting for this important figure to arrive, but when he actually arrived, very few people dared to go up and chat with him.
He was taken up by his father to meet him, but he was too nervous to do anything else.
The brief encounter at the banquet left him with only the impression that the man was someone who had held a high position for many years. His imposing aura even overshadowed his handsome, aloof face and supermodel-like physique, making people hesitant to meet his gaze.
Chi Xu, a third-generation member with connections and influence, boasted that he had met many people since childhood, but only Huo Shen had left a deep impression on him.
Looking at the calm-looking girl in front of him, he felt a rare surge of curiosity.
What kind of person is Xie Junfei? Why is it that at such a young age, he has won Huo Shen's favor?
It's well known that Huo Shen is famously self-disciplined in Beijing's social circles. He has never had any female confidantes, and he would even kick out anyone who offered themselves to him.
Moreover, they went back to their hometown together, so Xie Junfei must be recognized by the entire Huo family!
Who exactly is she, to be so powerful!
As if sensing the intense curiosity emanating from those around him, Xie Junfei slightly curved the corners of his mouth and lazily said:
"While I'm in a good mood and since we're all family, ask me anything you want now, or you'll miss out!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Xu's eyes immediately lit up:
"My first question is, how did you two meet?"
Xie Junfei thought about it carefully for a moment, then casually said:
"Do you know about the bankrupt Qin family? I used to be the adopted eldest daughter of the Qin family."
“The Qin family found their real daughter and kicked me out. In order to continue studying at Tiancheng Private School, I applied for the scholarship established by Huo Shen.”
"Huo Shen looked at my information and helped me out."
“The scholarship rules require us to meet every month, and we got to know each other after a while.”
Chi Xu listened to this encounter, which sounded like something out of a romance novel, and found it hard to believe.
But it is what it is.
Seeing Xie Junfei's confident expression, Chi Xu was still somewhat skeptical:
"So, when you met Huo Shen, you were probably penniless and had been kicked out of the Qin family, right?"
"So what attracted Huo Shen to you? Was it your personal charm?"
His words made Xie Junfei somewhat realize something.
It's been so long that she's forgotten some of it.
All I know is that the moment they met, they were like two magnets attracting each other, suddenly becoming inseparable.
Perhaps this is what love at first sight is.
Even someone as carefree as Chi Xu couldn't explain it clearly. Xie Junfei casually opened the window and picked up a Chinese language exercise book from his seat by the window.
She pointed to a line of classical Chinese poetry above and filled in the blank, indicating that Chi Xu should look at it.
He hesitated and lowered his head.
The answer box was filled with elegant and flowing handwriting:
"A single meeting of golden wind and jade dew surpasses countless encounters in the mortal world."
