Take a sip of beverage to calm your nerves

While happily eating the cookies Miao Xiaoyu had made, she took the initiative to ask about He Li's college application preferences.

This was the main reason she had come over.

She wanted to get into the same university as He Li!

He Li naturally understood what Miao Xiaoyu was thinking.

With their college entrance exam scores, he and Miao Xiaoyu could basically choose any university in the country; they could get in anywhere. However, having said that, each university had different faculty strengths, so one couldn't just choose randomly.

Moreover, although Miao Xiaoyu wanted to follow He Li...

He Li knew that Miao Xiaoyu actually had her own choices.

"In my past life, Miao Xiaoyu had her own choices."

"In this life, she is willing to give up her own goals for me."

"But this is actually unnecessary!"

"After all, the university she chose wasn't bad at all..."

He Li smiled slightly as he recalled his past life.

Beside him, Miao Xiaoyu asked, not understanding what he meant: "How about it? Do you have a target university?"

"Yeah, I do!" He Li nodded.

Miao Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes brightened slightly: "Where?"

"Want to know?" He Li said with a grin, holding back the answer.

Miao Xiaoyu pouted: "Stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me!"

"Alright, alright!" He Li shrugged helplessly.

"Zhejiang University, how about it?" As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the refrigerator to pour two glasses of coconut milk beverage. Miao Xiaoyu was somewhat surprised when she heard his words: "Zhejiang University? Why aren't you choosing Tsinghua or Peking University?"

"Tsinghua or Peking University?" He Li curled his lips.

But he didn't explain much further.

Because some things would only happen in the future.

If he said Tsinghua and Peking University weren't good right now, no one would believe him.

So he just responded to Miao Xiaoyu with a half-smile...

"Zhejiang University is not much weaker than those two universities."

"Besides, learning depends on yourself. If you don't put in the effort, isn't getting into an even better university just a waste?"

"However, besides the fact that I also like Zhejiang University myself."

"There is actually another reason why I am going there!"

Hearing He Li's words, Miao Xiaoyu was puzzled.

"What reason?" He Li pushed the coconut milk beverage in front of Miao Xiaoyu: "In my first year of high school, I heard someone say they wanted to check out Zhejiang University. I was afraid she would be lonely, so it just so happened that I would go over and keep her company."

As his voice fell, Miao Xiaoyu was stunned.

Her thoughts returned to the year she transferred in her first year of high school.

That year, she had voluntarily transferred schools because of He Li.

She became friends with He Li and often sought him out to chat!

At that time, He Li's relationship with Liu Yuyan was not yet solid.

They got along very well during that period, talking about things they liked and also discussing what they wanted to do in the future. She thought that He Li had long forgotten that time, but she hadn't expected that he had actually remembered it all along...

"You... still remember?" Miao Xiaoyu's voice trembled slightly.

He Li nodded jokingly and picked up his drink...

"Quick, drink some beverage to calm your nerves!"

Hearing He Li's words, Miao Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes reddened. She held the cup and sat there like a little kitten, sipping it in small mouthfuls.

The coconut milk was very sweet, but her heart was even sweeter!

He Li still remembered her preferences...

He remembered what she wanted to do and where she wanted to go.

Knowing these things was more worthy of making Miao Xiaoyu happy than hearing any words of praise.

However, just as she was feeling touched, she suddenly discovered that the beverage He Li had poured for her wasn't quite right; it seemed to taste even better than the beverages she bought from those milk tea shops outside.

"Where did you buy this?" Miao Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but ask.

She took her lips off the cup, leaving a white ring.

Watching her seductive gesture of sticking out her tongue to lick her lips, He Li suppressed the unhealthy thoughts in his heart, shook his head, and replied: "You can't buy it!"

"I made this myself earlier."

"You made it?" Miao Xiaoyu's eyes shone.

"Then... can you teach me?"

"Of course!" He Li didn't say that, in fact, the reason he knew how to make this was because the Miao Xiaoyu of his past life had taught him.

In this life, could this be considered returning what he learned to the teacher?

He couldn't help but ponder this in his mind.

Miao Xiaoyu, however, revealed a cunning smile like a little fox.

He Li agreed to teach her how to make delicious coconut milk, but whether she could learn it or not was another matter.

Anyway, He Li had agreed to teach her. Since that was the case, if she just kept failing to learn, wouldn't she be able to keep pestering him? This was a wonderful thing that gave her a legitimate reason to pester He Li.

"Hee hee, when I delivered the meal box today, I was still thinking about what excuse I could find to come over and look for him later."

"I didn't expect to find a good reason so quickly!"

"And it's a reason that can be used for a long time."

"Hee hee hee~" Miao Xiaoyu's eyes were almost smiling into crescent moons.

He Li didn't understand what she was suddenly laughing about.

But she looked very beautiful, and He Li was willing to keep looking.

However, Miao Xiaoyu couldn't stay for too long.

In the evening, her Older Female Cousin called, and Miao Xiaoyu had to be reluctantly sent home by He Li...

...

"Zhejiang University? Are you sure you're choosing Zhejiang University?"

The next morning, on the way to school, a voice came.

Wu Gang stared at He Li with a face full of surprise.

The latter curled his lips: "What is there to be surprised about?"

"No, aren't you choosing Tsinghua or Peking University?" Wu Gang couldn't help but ask more.

He Li shook his head: "You asked the same question as Miao Xiaoyu."

"Then how did you answer her?" Wu Gang asked curiously.

"Don't ask, knowing too much isn't good for you!"

He Li said with a cheeky grin, and Wu Gang was full of suspicion.

But honestly, he was quite happy, because his goal was also Zhejiang University, just like He Li. Wu Gang felt that in this way, he and He Li could continue to be classmates and follow him to make big money.

The two walked while talking, and on the way, they picked up Miao Xiaoyu and returned to school together to prepare to fill in their college applications.

When they arrived at the school gate...

He Li also saw the banner hanging at the school.

The content was nothing more than congratulating He Li on becoming the Top Scholar and such.

And the students in the school who knew He Li now looked at him with a few more degrees of admiration.

Various discussions, whether of amazement or envy...

Also kept coming from all directions!

"Tsk, the 719-point Top Scholar of Shu Prefecture. I didn't expect that he actually came out of our school!"

"Hehe, I am in the same grade as the Top Scholar."

"In the future, when I go out, I can brag about it!"

"Oh, give it a rest. If anyone is going to brag, it should be me."

"I am in the same class as the Top Scholar He. Maybe when he becomes successful in the future, he will remember me, his old classmate, and take me along to success!"

"Sigh, if I had known He Li had such great potential, I would have tried harder to win him over earlier no matter what!"

"Sister, stop dreaming, go look in the mirror!"

"Speaking of which, do you guys guess if Liu Yuyan regrets it?"

"Hilarious. She lost a Top Scholar boyfriend. I heard he is already starting a business and might become very rich in the future. If I were Liu Yuyan, I would have cried myself into the hospital by now!"

...

Listening to the discussions constantly rising around him.

Enjoying the gazes of admiration, respect, and envy from his classmates...

Although it was already the second time!

But being looked at by people with these gazes all the way...

He Li still had to say one thing: "This feels great!"

And without knowing when, Li Lingjie, who had already walked into the school, and Liu Yuyan, who was behind him, were in a terrible mood.

Li Lingjie was full of hatred and anger, but had no way to do anything.

Liu Yuyan was full of regret and grievance, almost shedding tears.

"How was I supposed to know He Li had such great potential?"

"He had only acted like a nerd before!"

"If he had shown more of his strengths earlier, I might have accepted his confession long ago."

"How can this kind of thing be blamed on me?"

"It was clearly He Li who was intentionally hiding his talents..."

The more Liu Yuyan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She couldn't help but speed up and rush in front of the happily strolling He Li, interrupting his joy, and asked aggrievedly: "He Li, since you were so capable, why didn't you say so before?"

"If you had said so earlier, I would have accepted you long ago!"

"You almost made me lose you!"

As soon as these shameless words came out, the surroundings went quiet...
