The end-of-semester examinations were around the corner and the students had less than two months left to prepare for them. In order to help the students be more prepared, the academic departments issued a plethora of practice questions, mock tests, as well as relevant notes to the students who had also become much more attentive and studious, for they had finally sunk into the examination mood.

Having already built her academic foundation well with the aid of the notes that Zhong Rufeng had given her previously, it was rather easy for Wen Xinya to excel in her academics. However, she was nonetheless rather worried about the upcoming major examination.

It was probably a common problem for all students.

Although the dismissal bell had been ringing for a long time, the students in the classrooms remained still in their seats and read through their notes or completed the practice questions. There were only a few who left the classroom for a short while before returning to the classroom again.

The class was completely silent, except for a few students who were whispering amongst themselves while discussing a question.

“Wen Xinya, someone’s looking for you!” said a clear, crisp voice, which caught the attention of all the students.

Wen Xinya stood up and left her seat. She walked towards the classroom door to see that Zhong Rufeng was standing outside and smiling at her.

Everyone else began gossiping and chattering in shock.

“Oh my god, it’s the former president of the student union, Zhong Rufeng. I didn’t think he’d be so close to Wen Xinya. Turns out the rumors about him and Wen Xinya that surfaced on the forum previously are true.”

“This is the first time that I’m seeing President Zhong in the flesh. Oh goodness! He’s so dashing and so much more suave than the current president Chu Jingnan. If my mother gave birth to me a year earlier, I’d get to be in the same batch as him. What a shame!”

“In my opinion, President Zhong and President Chu each have their own strengths. President Chu is gentle and soft-spoken, while President Zhong is refined and classy. They’re both very rare hunks!”

Wen Xinya looked at Zhong Rufeng and remarked teasingly. “Master Zhong is indeed very charming. Even though you’ve already graduated from Lan Feng Institute, your juniors are still in so much awe of you.”

Zhong Rufeng smiled and said, “Miss Wen, please don’t tease me.”

Wen Xinya chuckled and asked, “By the way, why did you come here all of a sudden?”

Zhong Rufeng explained, “I had something to discuss with the Dean and decided to come and take a look at you, too, since we haven’t met in such a long time.”

Wen Xinya acknowledged with a nod. Considering the fact that Zhong Rufeng had once been the president of the student union for two years, it was only normal for him to look the Dean up since he had always been in close contact with the higher authorities. She asked, “How have you been lately? I heard that University is much more stressful and the academics are tougher.”

Zhong Rufeng smiled and answered, “It’s alright. Actually, life as an undergraduate is much more relaxed than that of high school students. Well, at least… undergraduates don’t have to stay behind in the classroom to study after dismissal.”

Wen Xinya glanced at the classroom to see that her classmates were no longer studying attentively like before. Instead, they were peeking out of the window and gossiping amongst themselves while making comments about Zhong Rufeng.

Zhong Rufeng smiled and suggested. “Let’s go take a walk around the campus! Studies may be important, but so is a proper work-life balance.”

Wen Xinya agreed with a nod and headed to the crape myrtle field with Zhong Rufeng. The leaves on the crape myrtle trees had already fallen, leaving just empty branches on the tree. However, they were full of life in the freezing winter.
