The next night, Lin Yuan set off for Qi Continent.

Most of the people from the branch company had gone home too.

Everyone needed to discuss with their families since some of them would end up working at Starlight’s headquarters.

Due to this, the employees at the branch office were no longer motivated to work.

Similarly, Lin Yuan wouldn’t be taking over any tasks anytime soon because the System was still undergoing an upgrade, so he couldn’t even open the treasure chest, let alone use the System’s custom features.

In fact, it wasn’t just members of the branch office – people from all walks of life were no longer focused on their work.

Everyone was too busy poaching talent and strategizing; the more intense market competition would only begin once the situation stabilizes.

The feeling of having nothing to worry about felt pretty good.

Lin Yuan quietly enjoyed his final campus life in Qi Art.

However, just as December was coming to an end, a new student transferred to Lin Yuan’s class!

That was incredibly unusual.

The semester was almost over, and yet, someone transferred?

But it did happen and when this student arrived in class, Lin Yuan discovered that he knew him—

Gu Xi?

Lin vaguely remembered that Gu Xi was a music major, why would she transfer to Qi Art at this moment?

And to the composition department, no less?

Lin Yuan was somewhat curious.

However, compared to Lin Yuan’s curiosity, the classmates were extremely excited.

Especially when the teacher introduced her: “Gu Xi is a student from the Qin Art’s music department and a gifted pianist who has set foot on the top stage. She is not an exchange student but has an interest in composing music, which is why she decided to transfer to our school…”

No one detailed out the methods of Gu Xi’s transfer; some people can transfer through special channels.

The teacher just reiterated Gu Xi’s accomplishments.

People didn’t dig any deeper; all of them just knew that their class now had an exceptionally beautiful Piano Goddess!

Some self-proclaimed outstanding male students were already itching to make a move.

As for the girls, they couldn’t even muster any jealousy.

At a time when the gap isn’t too big, jealousy might be inevitable.

But facing a legendary student like Gu Xi, the girls could only feel envy.

Consequently, as soon as the class ended, many boys started grooming themselves, preparing to strike up a conversation with her.

However, before they could even make a move, Gu Xi took the initiative and walked straight towards Lin Yuan.

This moment broke the hearts of many boys.

The girls, however, felt a strange sense of solidarity.

However, nobody was too surprised. Lin Yuan was an exchange student from Qin Art, and Gu Xi also came from Qin Art. It didn’t seem irrational for her to know Lin Yuan.

“Lin Yuan!”

Gu Xi seemed a bit surprised at the moment, as she set her eyes unwaveringly on Lin Yuan and said, “Hello there, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect you would be in this class!”

Her surprise was certainly feigned.

Heaven only knows the price Gu Xi paid to transfer to Qi Art!

Initially, Gu Xi could have gone as an exchange student directly to Qi Art.

But Gu Xi initially worried that she wouldn’t see Lin Yuan if she became an exchange student, so she refused the chance.

The irony of fate meant Gu Xi was shocked to find out that after she had turned down the chance to be an exchange student, Lin Yuan had become one!

So, Gu Xi changed her mind and wanted to follow the route of being an exchange student, intending to transfer to Qi Art.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

There’s a limit to the number of exchange students; Gu Xi was unable to take this route in the end.

But Gu Xi didn’t give up.

She went out of her way to ask many people for favors and pulled many strings. Finally, just as the first semester of her junior year was about to end, she managed to transfer to Qi Art through special channels!

But this wasn’t enough.

Thinking about the great lengths she had gone to transfer to Qi Art, Gu Xi felt a bit disgruntled. She decided to throw all caution to the wind and transferred directly to the same class as Lin Yuan in Qi Art!

After all, she made a living playing the piano.

For Gu Xi, this was a do-or-die situation.

But now that she could be classmates with Lin Yuan, and knowing that they would surely have plenty of chances to interact in the future, Gu Xi felt that it was all worth it!

So although her surprise was feigned, the smile on her face was genuinely from the heart!

“That is quite a coincidence, hi.” Lin Yuan replied.

When he left Qin Art, Gu Xi gave Lin Yuan a planet model.

Although there wasn’t a yolk inside, Lin Yuan accepted her gift anyway, so he was quite friendly towards her.

And after experiencing some things, Lin Yuan no longer resisted Gu Xi like before.

“Having Gu Xi around means trouble.”

Constantly thinking this way about her wasn’t very nice, Lin Yuan thought.

Wasn’t the last time she brought the planet model just fine?

“We’re classmates now!”

Gu Xi made her rehearsed statement, “But because I just transferred to the composing department and don’t know the other classmates well, and I’m actually not too familiar with composing either, I hope I’ll have the chance to learn more from you next semester, Lin Yuan!”

“I’m sorry.”

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, “I have to go back to Qin Art next semester.”

Gu Xi’s expression immediately froze.

Her world seemed to lose all color at that moment, her eyes gradually lost their luster, and a sentence kept echoing in her mind:

“I have to go back to Qin Art next semester…”

“Go back to Qin Art next semester…”

“Go back to Qin Art…”

“Qin Art…”

Gu Xi stuttered, “Why…”

Lin Yuan, who failed to notice Gu Xi’s unusual behavior, patiently explained, “The merger of Qin Art and Qi Art led to changes in their system and the cancellation of the exchange student program, so all of us exchange students have to return to our original schools next semester.”

Gu Xi felt dizzy.

She didn’t even know how she got back to her seat; she was utterly dazed.

At that moment, Gu Xi seemed to feel a sense of fate.

“GuXi…”

Quite a few boys had gathered around her, each talking about various things. However, Gu Xi could not hear a single word from them. She just replied, “I want to be alone.”

II II

The boys exchanged glances and reluctantly dispersed.

Gu Xi took out her phone, with her typically agile fingers – proficient from playing the piano – which now were trembling slightly, and sent a message: “Can I return to Qin Art next year?”

“Impossible!”

A reply came swiftly from the other side, “The person who was desperate to go to Qi Art was you! You just got there and now you want to come back? Are both schools your personal property? You can only stay at Qi Art next semester!”

Gu Xi heard the sound of her heart shattering.

A question from the other side asked, “Why?”

Gu Xi laboriously typed a few words and sent it back: “My heart is shattered, contact me through spirit.”
