"My father said you could come to our house as a guest after the Freshman Competition,"
Zhu Xin's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she puffed out her cheeks...
...
Happiness always seems to pass too quickly.
Just as everyone returned to the venue, they noticed Yuan Xing, the dean, waiting outside the lounge with a serious expression on his face.
Before anyone could ask him what happened, he beckoned and said:
"Chen Xuan, come with me."
"Alright."
Having no idea what was happening, Chen Xuan followed him, looking utterly bewildered.
Only when Yuan Xing led him through a labyrinth of hallways to a room did he turn around and solemnly instruct:
"Once inside, an official from the host party will speak with you. However, remember that if they request something you do not wish to accept, you can decline outright. Do not worry, as you are a student of Imperial Capital University. Not only will I back you, but the school will as well. Understand?"
"Understood."
