Zhao Jing, a prominent figure at Beijing University, was good-looking and academically excellent. He had already been recommended for direct admission to a master's and doctoral program and was a well-known figure throughout the entire school.
He was also a favorite of the teachers.
Even Ding Xuexue had long admired him, but he hardly paid special attention to anyone, spending all his time in the teachers' laboratories, becoming a legend that everyone looked up to.
She hadn't expected him to show up today.
"Senior Zhao!" Ding Xuexue couldn't help but greet him with a flushed face.
Zhao Jing had come from Beijing First Middle School, which made him a senior that Ding Xuexue had met before; they had some connection.
She wondered to herself if Senior Zhao had come specifically to welcome her.
It wasn't impossible. Although they were several years apart and hardly spoke a few words to each other, they were after all alumni of the same middle school.
