When Ji Mingxia read the novel, he felt sympathetic with Yu Ning’s life experience.

But the novel started with Yu Ning’s university life. He appeared as a heartthrob, and as the main protagonist, the future was promising.  Although there were so many hardships in the past, the bright future made those past experiences seem insignificant. 

It was not until he came into this world and saw Yu Ning’s daily life with his own eyes that he distinctly felt Yu Ning’s hardships.

While he was shocked at Yu Ning’s current life, he looked forward to Yu Ning’s future.

While he had to distance himself from Yu Ning in order to save his little life, he couldn’t help but secretly help him with some trivial things.

With the upcoming college entrance exams, and the ghosts, Ji Mingxia's short high school career was quite busy.

The college entrance exam results were announced, Yu Ning completely ushered in a new life and Ji Mingxia also developed some confusing feelings. This way, even if he always had Yu Ning on his mind, the two got along daily and he almost forgot Yu Ning’s previous life where he was ostracized.

That was until the whole class was discussing Yu Ning and his past experiences were brought up one by one.

These students lived in the same world as Yu Ning so they would not look at Yu Ning’s life from a spectator’s point of view like Ji Mingxia did.

So they only had no extra thoughts about what happened to Yu Ning except anger once they empathized with him.

Anger at Yu Ning’s unfair life, anger at the unfair treatment he received.

When a person says something with righteous anger, it will only attract the attention of the bystanders.

But when the whole class, the whole school, or even the whole country …… pays attention to something and casts an angry glance, it’s a very different story.

At this moment, all the students around Ji Mingxia were accusing Yu Ning’s former classmates.

They were all college students so their words were naturally not so vulgar, but the more rational the accusation, the more powerful it is.

Even though Ji Mingxia had just come into this world and had never participated in the cold violence against Yu Ning, he still felt immense pressure as he listened to these discussions.

Although he was not the original owner, he took on the identity of the original owner and stood in this world with his name. So naturally, Ji Mingxia had to take on his past. 

If people found out that he was Yu Ning’s classmate ……

If people discovered that the original owner used to be cold towards Yu Ning, but later became good friends with Yu Ning, and even became roommates again ……

Ji Mingxia did not dare to think deeper.

He saw the news about Yu Ning last night and also saw various comments from netizens, at that time Ji Mingxia only felt that the matter was none of his business and had a clear conscience.

It was only when he was in the atmosphere that he felt the horror of public opinion.

This feeling of being rejected by the whole class or even the whole school could cut into the heart, even though there wasn’t a shadow of a sword. Words could also be turned into a sharp blade.

In Yu Ning’s case, he’d gone through this for years and Ji Mingxia could finally empathize with him a little. 

And like that, Ji Mingxia spent most of the first day of school in such a difficult atmosphere.

It was only when class was about to end at noon that a figure appeared at the door of the class, drawing everyone’s attention away.

When the class teacher walked outside the classroom and talked to the person, the class was even more stirred up.

“Who is it?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Is it Ye Tian?”

“Someone next to the door said they saw Ye Tian passing by!”

The sound of fragmented discussions swept through the class, and in less than a minute, it reached Ji Mingxia.

The students who were discussing Yu Ning had wide eyes when they heard that Ye Tian had actually come. Some even stretched their necks and couldn’t resist looking out the window.

Ji Mingxia was relieved that everyone’s attention had been diverted, but as soon as he heard that Ye Tian had arrived, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart and he hurriedly shrunk himself.

At that moment, the class teacher came back to the classroom after talking to the person outside the door, and said to the students in the room, “Mingxia? Ji Mingxia, please come out.”

Ji Mingxia: !!! Shit!

Although everyone had introduced themselves, except for those who knew each other well, no one knew anyone and it was impossible to match names with people.

If it were normal, Ji Mingxia would have had friends all over the class by this time since he has a social personality.

However, because of discussions on Yu Ning’s past, Ji Mingxia shrank himself the whole time, and the morning passed without him making a friend.

At this moment, everyone was looking at each other, and Ji Mingxia’s neighbor at the back said: “Mingxia? you are Mingxia, right? The class teacher is calling you!”

Ji Mingxia’s plan to play dead was mercilessly broken.

He looked at his back deskmate incredulously, unable to understand how he could remember his name!

With those words, the whole class looked at Ji Mingxia. The class teacher’s gaze also fell on Ji Mingxia, and he asked with concern, “Ji Mingxia, are you okay? Do you need to take a leave?”

“No, no, no.” Ji Mingxia hurriedly said. He tried to ignore the attention of the class and walked out of the classroom as naturally as possible.

He had just walked out of the classroom when the buzz from dozens of people talking together broke out.  The voices mixed together and because everyone was shocked, their volumes were loud.

One of the students couldn’t help but look at Ji Mingxia’s back deskmate and said, “I haven’t seen Ji Mingxia talk all morning, you have a good memory, you actually remembered his name!”

“He is handsome.” That classmate laughed, then couldn’t help but add, “And, I had a feeling that he looked familiar.”

“Familiar? Like which star? Good-looking people look similar, ugly people have their unique ugly traits.” The classmate said carelessly.

The back deskmate shook his head: “It's not his face that is familiar. I’m behind him so I couldn’t see his face clearly, but the back is familiar, I feel that I’ve seen it somewhere…”

“Could it be that you used to know him?”

“How is it possible, he and I are not from the same place, but …… where is Ji Mingxia from?” The back deskmate suddenly asked.

Everyone froze for a moment, and none of them could answer.

Although Ji Mingxia was good-looking, he huddled himself as soon as he sat down and didn’t speak. It was the beginning of school so everyone was excited and desperate to make new friends. They wanted to chat with each other but Ji Mingxia chose to remain silent. Coupled with the heated discussion on Yu Ning, it was easy to overlook him.

If Ji Mingxia had remained silent, people would not necessarily pay attention to him.

But at this moment, there was clear information that Ye Tian was outside the classroom, while Ji Mingxia was called out by the class teacher.

In other words, Ye Tian came to find Ji Mingxia?

What kind of divinity was Ji Mingxia that made Ye Tian personally come to him!

Even the most low-key person would have caused the world to turn upside down with this incident. After being stunned, everyone quickly searched for Ji Mingxia’s information.

“He and Yu Ning are from the same hometown? He’s not an alumnus, is he?”

“—Fuck, I remember why I thought he looked familiar!” The back deskmate was shocked and said, “That photo, the one where you can only see the back, he’s Yu Ning’s little deskmate ah!”

The students: “The rumored deskmate of the god of learning?!!!”

After confirming Ji Mingxia’s identity, the whole class was shocked.

The rumored little deskmate really appeared in H university, and was also in the same class with them ……

So the question was, why did Te Tian call out the desk mate of the god of learning?

—Outside the classroom—

Ji Mingxia walked down the corridors amidst the whole class’s attention.

Then he soon discovered that not only his classmates were looking at him, the students in the next class also poked their heads out and secretly observed him.

When the class teacher saw Ji Mingxia walking out, she also couldn’t help but take a closer look, and led him towards the corner of the corridor.

“Student Ye Tian said she was worried about you and came over to see you.  Considering the impact of her presence, I asked her to go wait for you in the office, you two can slowly communicate from there.” The class teacher explained in a low voice.

Ji Mingxia nodded and followed the class teacher to the teacher’s office.

It was still class time, and also the first day of school, the whole school was busy, so the office was empty.

When Ji Mingxia opened the door and walked in, he saw Ye Tian standing inside.

She was looking around with her arms around her chest. She had a horrified expression, and kept looking at her back nervously, as if there was something lying there.

Upon seeing Ji Mingxia walk in, Ye Tian’s eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her pale face as she rushed to greet him.“Mingxia ……” Ye Tian looked at Ji Mingxia and was about to say something when the class teacher also walked in.

Ye Tian quickly organized her expression, and politely thanked the class teacher: “Thank you, Teacher.”

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.  You’re even more beautiful than you look on TV.” The class teacher smiled and said, “I’ll go back and tell my son that I met his idol, he will be very jealous of me.”

Ye Tian said hurriedly, “I’ll bring you my latest album the next time I come, so you can help me give it to my little fan.”

“Then I can keep that in mind and wait for your gift.” The class teacher said. After exchanging pleasantries and seeing that Ye Tian and Ji Mingxia had something to say, she tactfully then closed the door behind her.

Ji Mingxia vaguely felt that the class teacher’s eyes were strange as she closed the door, but soon, he couldn’t be bothered to think about the class teacher.

As soon as the office door closed, Ye Tian immediately jumped to Ji Mingxia’s side and leaned close to him.

Ji Mingxia was immediately startled. He was not used to being so close to strangers, and wanted to take a step back and pull away. But when he saw Ye Tian’s pale face, he tried to resist the urge, and asked, “Ye Tian, are you all right?”

“I ……” Ye Tian looked at Ji Mingxia, and hesitated. She finally shook her head and said, “It’s fine, I must be thinking too much.”

Seeing Ji Mingxia look at her suspiciously, Ye Tian barely forced a smile: “I told you, I always feel that someone is watching me no matter where I go. Every corner feels like there is a pair of eyes coldly watching me. If I hide in a closed room, it lies on my body, if I go under the covers, it appears next to my body, no matter where I go, I can never escape it ……”

Ye Tian looked a bit dazed and her voice gradually faded, as if she was caught in some kind of emotion.

Seeing this, Ji Mingxia was hesitant to interrupt her, but Ye Tian suddenly had a jolt and snapped awake. She then smiled at Ji Mingxia with embarrassment and said: “But it should be my illusion, I felt someone looking at me again in this office, but look, it’s empty and there’s nothing, right?”

Ji Mingxia also looked around.

The teacher’s office was located on the left side of the teaching building and although it was in the corner, the lighting was very good. There were transparent glass windows on three sides, and the sun shone in. The air conditioning was on, and the green plants in the room were full of vitality.  Whether there was a peeping Tom or a ghost, it was impossible to hide in the open place.

At this moment, and in the whole office, the one with the heaviest yin would be Ye Tian.

She was a star, and in order to look good on camera, she was very slender.

She had makeup on the first two times Ji Mingxia saw her, so he couldn’t see her complexion.

Perhaps it was because of poor sleep, or the makeup was lighter, her face was full of undisguised fatigue.

Strangely, her face was pale, the dark circles under the eyes were obvious and the lips were a little purple, but the eyes were very bright.

They weren’t bright because of vitality, but like the last remnants of a burning fire. The bright eyes contrasted with the rest of her, and it looked extraordinarily inconsistent.

This sense of incongruity was subtle, but it was there.

Ye Tian was a girl who loved beauty, so it could be seen that she was in a bad state at the moment. Ji Mingxia was naturally not going to say much.  There was no basis for random speculation, and speaking up would only add to the troubles to the other party.

After confirming that the office was clear, Ji Mingxia nodded to Ye Tian and said, “There are cameras in the office, if you are not sure, you can check the monitoring later.”

“No need, the feeling suddenly disappeared the moment you came in.” Ye Tian took a long breath, “Just like in the library, as soon as you appeared, I felt very safe.”

She said and couldn’t help but want to lean towards Ji Mingxia.

Ji Mingxia stiffened and hurriedly proposed, “Then why don’t we sit down and talk?”

With that, he hurriedly pulled out a chair for Ye Tian, and after letting her sit down, he took the opposite seat.

The two sat face to face, and although the distance was very close, it was absolutely impossible to have any physical contact.

Ye Tian took a look at the two chairs. She suddenly understood what was going on and couldn’t help but smile softly.

Her brother was the heir of the group, she was a star. Everyone can’t wait to get close to them, except Ji Mingxia.

After saving her, he left directly, and insisted on leaving even after Ye Chen had injured her.

She had personally ran to the classroom door to find him, and if it were a normal person, they would have been so that they were floating, but when it came to Ji Mingxia, there wasn’t surprise, but shock and a little apprehension.

She didn't feel good and was dazed. Standing was indeed tiresome so she didn’t reject Ji Mingxia’s proposal to sit down.

With Ji Mingxia's presence, the ubiquitous eyes disappeared inexplicably. Ye Tian’s entire body relaxed, and she now had the energy to carefully observe Ji Mingxia. 

He slowly sat down and except for the slow movements, there didn’t seem to be any pain. 

“My brother was worried about you. He asked me to come over to see if it is convenient to go out for lunch together. It is said that the canteen meals at H University are all dark cuisine. I know a nearby restaurant with delicious food. Would you like to have lunch with us? “

“Thank you, but no need, the taste of the canteen food is on the salty and spicy side and I’m quite adapted to it, it’s fine to eat at school.” Ji Mingxia politely declined.

“Ah, you like to eat salty and spicy food. Then are you used to this morning’s breakfast from Butterfly Zhai?” Ye Tian asked.

Ji Mingxia could not answer at once.

He did not open the lunchbox from Butterfly Zhai, so if Ye Tian had not mentioned it at this moment, he wouldn’t have known that there was tea inside.

Ye Tian saw Ji Mingxia’s expression and immediately understood. She has been in the entertainment industry for awhile and had quick reactions, so she immediately said: “My brother is like that, he always tried to express his concern without asking, he always does this by sending good things over. In fact, I have always disliked that about him. If you are not used to morning tea, I can ask him not to send it again so as not to cause you trouble. But I have another matter I hope you can help me with.”

Ji Mingxia asked, “What is it?”

“I made an appointment with a masseuse, I want to take you for a massage after school so that you can quickly recover from your injury.” Ye Tian said.

Ji Mingxia quickly declined again: “My injury is almost healed, there is no need to trouble yourself.”

“But the doctor also said that your waist needs ice or massage ……” Ye Tian said.

“I already had a massage last night.”

“You already had a massage?” Ye Tian was puzzled, “didn’t you go back to the dormitory last night? Did you massage yourself?”

Ji Mingxia recalled last night’s scene and his face inexplicably became hot. He tried his best to speak in a plain and natural voice: “My roommate helped…”

“Your roommate…it wouldn’t be Yu Ning, would it?” Ye Tian guessed.

When Ji Mingxia heard her mention Yu Ning, he could not hide his expression.

Fortunately, the bell rang at this time.  Students came out of the classroom in a row, and the whole campus became lively.

Ye Tian’s identity was sensitive, and it was not good to appear in the crowd.  They were surrounded by the noise of students laughing and joking, and Ji Mingxia and Ye Tian chose to stay in place. It wasn’t until everyone had gone that they breathed a sigh of relief.

After such an interruption, they couldn’t continue their earlier discussion.

Ye Tian originally wanted to ask Ji Mingxia to have lunch, but since Ji Mingxia thought the canteen food was good, she simply stayed with Ji Mingxia and the two ordered takeaway from the canteen.

In this regard, Ji Mingxia wanted to refuse, but Ye Tian looked enthusiastic. While talking to Ji Mingxia, she had already picked up the phone to order food with great excitement.

She was a star, and a girl, she specially came over to ask him to eat, and after countless rejections, Ji Mingxia couldn’t refuse her again. Seeing that Ye Tian had ordered, Ji Mingxia also took out his phone and ordered milk tea.

The dark cuisine of H University was famous, but other than those horrible dishes like fried tomatoes and leeks, bitter melon gourd and snail noodles, among others there were also some common home cooked food that did quite well.

Ye Tian was an entertainer and in order to maintain her figure, she controlled her diet. For lunch, she ordered herself a very light dish, the kind of small dishes that weren’t a problem for a canteen chef.

The two eventually greeted the teacher who stopped by, then each ordered two dishes and a soup, and they ate a simple meal in the office.

Ji Mingxia originally thought that after eating, they could say goodbye to each other, but unexpectedly, Ye Tian completely relaxed after eating. She laid on the table, and directly fell asleep.

It would feel rude if an ordinary person slept like this, but Ye Tian looked really tired. She fell into a deep sleep immediately she closed her eyes, like she had spent three days and three nights without sleeping, no one could bear to wake her up.

In the end, Ji Mingxia could only watch over her in the office.

When class was about to start, Ye Tian’s cell phone suddenly rang.

Ji Mingxia saw that she was sleeping soundly and even making a slight snoring sound, so he thought that the ringing could not wake her up. However, Ye Tian abruptly woke up and she almost jumped up from her seat.

She looked around for a long time with wide, blank eyes before slowly coming to her senses. She then looked at Ji Mingxia incredulously: “I…I fell asleep?!”

Ji Mingxia also did not know how Ye Tian finished eating at one moment, and then directly fell asleep. He could only nod and say, “Yes, you seemed…… a little sleepy ……”

Ye Tian looked at Ji Mingxia in shock. A few seconds later, her face showed a seemingly crying and smiling expression: “But...I haven’t  been able to sleep for several days ……”

The ringing phone continued, and Ye Tian took a deep breath and picked up the phone.

He didn’t hear what was said on the other end of the phone, and after hanging up, Ye Tian said to Ji Mingxia: “Mingxia, I have something to do first, thank you for helping me sleep …… I originally just listened to my brother and came over to see you, I didn’t expect to get such a reward. You are really good, I like you so much.”

She looked at Ji Mingxia with a tangled expression, obviously reluctant to leave.

Ji Mingxia had always been popular so he often heard such compliments and confessions. He could also quickly distinguish that Ye Tian’s “like” was just a simple feeling.

He thought about it and said, “If you really feel very uncomfortable, why don’t you take a few days off, take a good rest, and wait until you feel better before coming back to class?”

“It’s useless, I’ve tried it but no matter what I do, it’s not effective.” Ye Tian sighed.

She had something to do in the afternoon and was soon picked up by her agent.

After Ye Tian left, Ji Mingxia was the only one left in the office, and je relaxed at once.

He could feel that Ye Tian had taken the time to visit him. Although he was very grateful for Ye Tian’s diligence, he felt more comfortable alone, and it would be better if he could go back to the dormitory and eat with Yu Ning.

The lunch break was almost over and it was too late for him to rush back. He just continued his rest in the office, then packed up the take away boxes and cleaned the office. He waited until it was class time before walking towards the classroom.

Ji Mingxia, who had been with Ye Tian all afternoon, didn’t know that his name was already on the campus forum, along with Yu Ning and Ye Tian.
