After receiving the admission letter from A University, Zhen Bao happily played for a month. There were too many attractions in the imperial capital for Zhen Bao to visit in one day and rest the next. Most of the time, she went sightseeing with Wang Ma, and Fu Ming Shi occasionally accompanied her to stroll once or twice. After a month, Zhen Bao was now a little familiar with the imperial capital.
In August, Zhen Bao began to settle down. She searched online and found that all freshmen had to take calculus, so she bought a calculus textbook withsupplementary exercises and started self-studying at home while continuing to strengthen her English. Every night, Fu Ming Shi would spend half an hour teaching her how to use various office software and make up for her lack of knowledge about modern devices.
In short, Zhen Bao had a very fulfilling summer vacation this time.
Tomorrow, Zhen Bao would go to A University to report. Fu Ming Shi was busy at the company in the morning, then drove back to the villa, planning to accompany Zhen Bao for the whole afternoon.
"I'll take you there tomorrow morning," Fu Ming Shi said at dinner, stating it matter-of-factly.
Zhen Bao's chewing slowed, and she swallowed the food in her mouth. She was embarrassed, "Didn't we agree not to announce it yet?"
Having a fiancé as soon as she entered university felt strange. If it was another girl in this situation, she would definitely be curious about the inside story.
"College students can have boyfriends and girlfriends. I'll just say I'm your boyfriend," Fu Ming Shi slowly cut the steak, then instead of hurrying to eat it, he held up the steak with his fork and asked Zhen Bao, "If I say I'm a sophomore at T University, would you believe me?"
This question was so strange that Zhen Bao glanced at his brand-name shirt and custom-made leather shoes, and couldn't help but curl her lips. "Do sophomores dress like you?"
"I meant age," Fu Ming Shi put the steak in his mouth elegantly.
Zhen Bao looked at his face again, withdrew her gaze, and nodded, "I guess I'd believe it." Those male stars in their thirties on TV playing college students looked quite believable to her. If Fu Ming Shi hadn't told her his real age, Zhen Bao wouldn't have been able to guess how old he was exactly.
Fu Ming Shi chuckled lightly, glanced upstairs, "I bought some casual clothes of ordinary brands. I'll wear them when I go to A University to see you in the future. As long as you don't tell others who I am, even if someone recognizes me as the CEO of Shengshi Group, I can deny it and just say we look alike. After all, amongst a bunch of college students, no one should recognize me."
Zhen Bao didn't like high-profile behavior, so he would let her have a carefree college life.
"If you're a sophomore and I'm a freshman, how did we get to know each other?" Zhen Bao gently bit her chopsticks, trying to find fault.
"Just say we live in the same community and officially started dating this summer," Fu Ming Shi imagined spending the next few years dating her in college, and he was rather looking forward to it.
Zhen Bao just wanted to focus on studying. Fu Ming Shi's plan didn't seem to have any flaws, but she couldn't understand why it had to be done this way.
"Why do you have to pretend to be my boyfriend?" Zhen Bao lowered her head and poked at the rice in her bowl. She always felt that students who didn't date were better students.
"Beautiful women never lack suitors. When others see you already have an owner, they won't pursue you anymore, and you can focus on your studies." Fu Ming Shi sounded reasonable, then gave Zhen Bao a meaningful glance, "Or do you want to attract more suitors?"
He praised her as a beauty again and randomly guessed she was vain. Zhen Bao's face turned red as she denied, "I didn't think that, and I don't have that many people who like me." Having lived in the imperial capital for so long, Zhen Bao had seen many beauties when she went out, not only beautiful but also fashionably dressed. Compared to the beauties of the big city, she was just a country bumpkin. Who would like her?
"Better safe than sorry. It's better to refuse in advance than to reject someone after they confess, otherwise you won't even be able to be classmates." She wanted a bicycle, she wanted to study veterinary medicine at A University, and Fu Ming Shi respected her choices, but this time, he would absolutely not give in. A girl like Zhen Bao could be the campus belle no matter which university she entered. There would definitely be people who wanted to pursue her. He would stake his claim early to avoid a lot of trouble.
Since he even used the idiom "better safe than sorry", what else could Zhen Bao say?

In order to satisfy Zhen Bao's wish for a low profile, Fu Ming Shi deliberately called a taxi to take her to A University the next day.
"There's a traffic jam ahead. Can you get off here?" About one intersection away from the A University gate, the driver looked at the traffic ahead and turned back to ask.
"Sure, here is fine," Zhen Bao was very easygoing and readily agreed.
The driver stopped the car. Zhen Bao got off first, carrying a bag of a regular brand. She wore denim shorts and a white T-shirt. If you didn't look at her face, she would blend seamlessly into the crowd. Fu Ming Shi got out of the car behind her, wearing a pair of sneakers on his feet, gray pants and a white T-shirt on top, and a tennis cap on his head. He really looked like a handsome schoolmate.
He took Zhen Bao's pink suitcase out of the trunk and dragged it along in one hand while very naturally holding Zhen Bao's little hand in the other. The people coming and going on the roadside were mostly new students and parents. Zhen Bao's face turned red as she tried to shake off his hand, but Fu Ming Shi not only did not let go, he even pulled her closer to his side and said while looking ahead, "There are too many people, don't get lost."
Zhen Bao explained in a low voice, "I won't get lost." She wasn't a child.
