Chapter 777 (1/2)

London.

The sun brightly shone on the Cambridge University campus. Several teenage girls were walking and laughing as they carried their books. Amongst the foreign faces that stood out, a Chinese face was especially eminent.

She had a very intricate face with fine brows, brown eyes, a tall nose, a small mouth, and pale skin. While she was 168 cm tall, she was, however, slender and had well-defined curves. Her long hair gently blew in the wind. She, in her red dress, was carrying books in her hand and seemed elegant despite her nerdy temperament.

She was happily chatting with a few British girls that surrounded her.

“Xu Xing, your birthday’s the day after tomorrow. How would you plan to spend it?” A blonde-haired brown-eyed girl asked.

Xu Xing’s red dress fluttered beautifully as she gently blushed. “Somebody will be celebrating my birthday with me.”

The bashfulness in her eyes had the teenage girls around her crowd her curiously and asked her in a gossiping manner whether she was attached. Their relentless questioning sent Xu Xing slightly blus.h.i.+ng to the point she had to cover her face with the books and said, “He’s not my boyfriend.”

“Nonsense! How could you be so happy if he isn’t your boyfriend?”

“Is he the Ye Ningyuan you once mentioned?”

…

Their chatter left Xu Xing blus.h.i.+ng even more. Following British royalty, these few girls were the next closest to Xu Xing as they grew up with her. They were very close with each other and talked about everything. The few of them continually pestered Xu Xing to tell them who the secret person was that would be celebrating her birthday with her.

Xu Xing remained tight-lipped.

The girls pestered each other for a moment before they headed for the school gate.

Just as they reached the school gate, a silver sports car suddenly rushed toward them. The teenage girls were so shocked that they shrieked as the silver car made a high-difficulty turn and suddenly stopped. A svelte man in white casual wear who seemed to be in his early twenties came out of the car. Xu Xing’s eyes lit up and she slightly blushed as she ran over excitedly.

“Ningyuan!”

Ye Ningyuan, elegantly taking off his gla.s.ses, showed his pale and good-looking face. His features were even more delicate than Xu Xing’s. It was as though they were a drawing coming alive. His imperceptibly dark eyes, gentle smile, and slightly lifted corners of his eyes had a few hints of naughtiness and gorgeousness, yet gentle. He was elegant yet overbearing. While his smile seemed harmless, it was determined and resolute.

Simply put, he was gentleness, gorgeousness, and elegance all in one.

Xu Xing excitedly leaped into his embrace and asked, “What brings you back so much earlier? Weren’t you supposed to return the day after tomorrow?”

Ye Ningyuan gently pushed away Xu Xing and smiled. “Well, I was ordered to return to celebrate your birthday.”
