While Long Yi Chen was busy acquiring shares of Long corporation Wang Xin Yi went to Beijing university to attend to her lectures. Wang Xin Yi is a freshman this year. Due to some incidences in past, she wasn't able have regularly schooling as others. But she is a smart and fast learner. She only attended class for 3 to 4 months just before the college entrance examination. Fortunately, she got a good education for a time period as a child and had good foundation on learning. So, she was able catch up with her studies.
Even with the least possible resources, she was able pass the college entrance examination with high marks to get admitted to the Beijing university which is one of the leading universities in China. Wang Xin Yi is currently majoring in Event Management, Planning and Tourism.
As a freshman Wang Xin Yi didn't have many friends. She never reveals her personal information to others as she was afraid of endangering Long Yi Chen's security. She knows that currently his presence in China is not known by others.
Currently she is walking to her lecture hall for her hotel management lecture. Dressed in simple white t-shirt and a blue denim and wearing big glasses she looks like a typical nerd. Most of the girls in the freshman year avoids her saying that she doesn't have any fashion sense and a poor country bumping.
Arriving in the lecture room Wang Xin Yi seated in the last row. She knows that others don't want to sit near her. So, she always sat at end row alone.
"Hey, isn't that the poor village nerd?" One of the girls in the class said to her friend.
"Yeah. Look at her I think she is wearing same cloths from yesterday." Her friend replied to her in disdain.
"Yeah, ah Jian. Look at her shoes, they look like her toe fingers will pop out of the shoes in the next moment." Saying that she laughed out.
The two girls didn't bother to lower their voices. They wanted Wang Xin Yi to hear their words. True to them Wang Xin Yi heard every word of them. The words affected her. But she always made sure to not to respond to them.
Growing up all the years without parents and any friend made Wang Xin Yi cherish all possible love she received. Being neglected and looked down by other was common occurrence in her life since birth. She should have become indifferent to them by now. With the things she faced for the last few years should have made herself strong and cold hearted. But they didn't. Any of these things weren't able to kill the innocence in her heart. Never responding their sarcasm, others though her as a pushover and an indifferent person. But in her heart those words affected her much more than they think.
She had been suffering in her heart all those years for every word others said to her. That's why Long Yi Chen always tried to complement her and love her dearly. He knew better than anyone how fragile her heart is.
As usual she acted as she didn't hear anything. Getting out the books from her bag she focused on reading her last day notes. But something unexpected happened today. Someone came and sat next to her.
"Hi. I'm Ling Rou Nan." She said extending her hand toward Wang Xin Yi.
Wang Xin Yi stunned seeing the hand in front of her. Staring blankly at the hand for few minutes she heard the girl speak again.
"Aren't you gonna shake my hand?" Seeing Wang Xin Yi not responding to her Ling Rou Nan asked.
Lifting her head from her book, Wang Xin Yi looked at Ling Rou Nan's face in shock. "Is she talking to me? Why is she extending her hand to me?" Wang Xin Yi thought in her heart.
"Hey." Ling Rou Nan called out.
Snapping back to reality Wang Xin Yi blinked her eyes and asked confusedly.
"Are you talking to me?"
"Yeah. Who else?" Ling Rou Nan said as showing an expression which stated the word obviously all aver her face.
Hearing her answer Wang Xin Yi blinked her eyes few times.
"Ahhh. You are so cute." Ling Rou Nan shouted looking at Wang Xin Yi's blinking eyes.
"Can we become friends? What your name?" Ling Rou Nan asked with kind smile.
"I-I am Wang Xin Yi." She answered with smile but didn't reach to shake Ling Rou Nan's hand.
"You aren't gonna shake my hand?" She asked again noticing that Wang Xin Yi skipped shaking her hand.
"Sorry. I- I'm not comfortable with physical contact with others." Xin Yi said apologetically.
"Ohh. I see. It's okay. But you haven't answered me." Ling Rou Nan immediately accepted Wang Xin Yi's avoidance in physical contact open mindedly.
"What question?" Xin Yi became puzzled.
"Can we become friends?" Seeing Xin Yi's quizzical expression, she asked shaking her head with a smile.
"I'm actually new here. Today is my first day. Due to some matters in my family, I wasn't able to attend the military training. So, I don't have any friends in here." Ling Rou Nan said.
"Oh. That's why she asked to become friends with me. Yeah right. If she isn't new, she would never offer to be friends with me." Wang Xin Yi thought dejectedly.
"I-I" Wang Xin Yi tried form words to reply to her. But before she says anything Ling Rou Nan talked.
"I know it's quite hasty." Ling Rou Nan showed an understanding expression
"We don't know each other yet. I just met you today for the first time. But I feel like you're quite genuine and innocent. More importantly you look adorably cute" she said the latter part laughing out and throwing her hands around.
"It's okay if you don't like be friends. I can totally understand." She said sadly.
"No. No. It's not like that. It's just I'm… a boring person. Others don't like to hand around a person like me. You will eventually get bored with me." Wang Xin Yi answered dejectedly hanging her head down while playing with the hem of her t- shirt nervously.
"It's okay. I don't think you are a boring person. Actually, I think you are better that those girls who are acting like a walking fashion boutique." Ling Rou Nan said the latter part whispering.
"Hehe." Wang Xin Yi broke into a genuine laugh for the first time in her university life.
"Your smile is beautiful." Ling Rou Nan said in a daze. Then she also broke out in laugh.
Later she said "let's try out first. We will hang out for a few days and see how it goes. Then we will decide become friends. How does that sound?"
"Okay..." Wang Xin Yi shrugged knowing well that Ling Rou Nan will lose interest in their friendship after few days of hanging out with her.
"Then it's deal. We are in a probation friendship now." Ling Rou Nan offered Wang Xin Yi a genuine kind smile.
