"Chang'an Academy!"
"Chang'an Academy!"
"Chang'an Academy!"
Those stirring cries echoed through the campus air, each shout breathing fresh life into the grounds.
As the cheers rose higher and higher, their enthusiasm set the entire academy ablaze. The scent of ink on book pages mingled with the spirit of youth in the air.
"Look! The upperclassmen are entering!"
"Ru Yan and Bo Da are the first ones out."
"I heard Ru Yan and Bo Da are engaged. I'm so jealous," one girl murmured, a trace of regret showing on her face.
"What's there to be jealous of? Being engaged isn't being married. You can still steal him away," another girl replied dismissively, sparks flashing in her eyes.
Suddenly, an elegant figure drew everyone's attention.
It was Shen Youchu. Her eyes were gentle and deep, as though they could hold every joy and sorrow.
Beneath her slightly lowered eyelids, her eyes shimmered. Her gaze swept over the crowd like spring rain brushing peach blossoms, carrying a poignant beauty in full bloom.
On closer inspection, there was something fragile yet captivating about her.
"What's wrong with Youchu?"
"Shh, keep your voices down. Don't you know? Youchu has had a secret crush on Bo Da all along," a girl in the know cautioned them softly.
"Look over there! Chen Ze is coming!" another girl exclaimed, pointing into the distance.
Chen Ze stood tall and straight, his face cold and stern. He was like an iceberg, yet exuded an indescribable charm.
"Wuyan is pretty great too! He's always so clean and innocent, as warm as a little sun," a girl countered playfully, her face glowing with longing for a beautiful romance.
But when He Qiang appeared, the entire crowd erupted.
He was tall, his steps steady and powerful. Every movement radiated a distinctly masculine charm.
