When Su Ruixue got home, she threw her bag on the sofa and poured herself a glass of water to drink.

Thinking back to the slap that she'd given Ji Lingchuan in the bar, Xiang Wan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy - she looked down at her right hand - she'd really slapped Ji Lingchuan in front of so many people.

But so what?

It was Ji Lingchuan - he deserved to be slapped!

Who told him to insult Gu Xingbei?!

Su Ruixue sat down on the sofa and closed her eyes. She suddenly thought of what had happened between them last night. She opened her eyes again.

She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled bitterly. "Su Ruixue, why are you doing this?"

At that time, she had thought that she would be happy as long as she married Ji Lingchuan. Even if he didn't love her, she believed that relationships could be cultivated. However, she was wrong. For more than a year, Ji Lingchuan had been out in the world with different women every day, but he had never left a place for Su Ruixue beside him.

After coming out of the bathroom, Su Ruixue lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. She suddenly thought of something from five years ago.

At that time, she was still a second-year student in the finance department of Jin University, and Ji Lingchuan was a year older than her.

At that time, her relationship with Ji Lingchuan wasn't as awkward as it was now.

Five years ago, they'd held a basketball game together in the summer at the school next door - Ji Lingchuan was also a member of the school basketball team, and she was the captain of the school cheerleading team.

It was during one of the basketball games that summer that she and Ji Lingchuan met for the first time.

Just as she was passing by the basketball court with a bunch of flowers in her arms, a basketball flew towards her - just then, Ji Lingchuan appeared and blocked the ball for her.

Su Ruixue looked at Ji Lingchuan in shock.

"S-Senior?"

Ji Lingchuan frowned in pain as he looked at her delicate and pretty face. Then, he shook his hand that was injured by the basketball.

Only then did Su Ruixue notice his red and swollen hand. She threw away the flower ball in her arms and grabbed his hand worriedly, "Senior, are you alright?!"

Ji Lingchuan stared at her expressionlessly and pulled his hand back, "I'm fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and dashed into the crowd. Su Ruixue watched him disappear into the crowd before her gaze fell on the ball that was rolling in the corner.

She had thought that she would never have anything to do with Ji Lingchuan ever again - who would've thought that she would meet Ji Lingchuan again? She had fallen in love with him ever since they'd met.

It was the second week after the basketball game, and Su Ruixue was taught by her teacher to go to the office. There, she saw Ji Lingchuan, who had come to hand in his homework.

Ji Lingchuan also noticed her and looked at her for a few seconds before looking away.

The tutor took out her homework and sorted it out for Xiang Wan - who would've thought that Xiang Wan wouldn't even listen to a single word that was being said - instead, she kept glancing at Ji Lingchuan, who was standing at the side.

After a while, the teacher sighed and said to her earnestly, "Su Ruixue, Ji Lingchuan is the most outstanding student in our department. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

"Oh..." Only then did Su Ruixue come back to her senses and lowered her head shyly. She thought for a moment and then raised her head to look at Ji Lingchuan, who was standing beside her, "Senior, if I have any questions I don't understand, can I ask you?"

Ji Lingchuan handed in his homework. He glanced at her indifferently and said unnaturally, "Whatever."

With that, he turned around and left the office. Su Ruixue said something to the tutor and hurriedly chased after him. She ran to Ji Lingchuan's side and tilted her head to look at his delicate profile. "Senior, are... are your hands okay? "

"They're fine now."

"Oh." Su Ruixue nodded and said, "Hello, senior. I'm from the finance department in my sophomore year. My name is Su Ruixue."

Ji Lingchuan suddenly stopped and looked at her with a complicated expression. Then he nodded and left.

Su Ruixue looked at his back as he walked away and muttered, "This senior looks so aloof."

When Su Ruixue woke up, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning the next day. She hurriedly ate something and ran to the company. However, just as she reached the door of the company, she bumped into Soong Hua's manager, Jiang Mi. Jiang Mi crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Su Ruixue arrogantly.

"You're Gu Xingbei's agent, right?"

"Yes, I am."

Jiang Mi handed her a contract. "I have my eye on your artist, Gu Xingbei. If you give me his contract, this five million yuan contract is yours."

Su Ruixue did not intend to take the contract from her. "Miss Jiang, Gu Xingbei is my artist. He's not an object."

Jiang Mi heard her words and said sarcastically, "What good resources can a small company like yours give him? As far as I know, you've only just come into contact with the career of a celebrity manager, right?"

"He hasn't had a single notice since you took him over, and you're a novice with no connections, no resources, no ability at all. Isn't it a waste of his youth to tie him up here? ! "

Su Ruixue tightened her grip on her bag. What Jiang Mi said was right, what did she have to refute?

"What does it have to do with you whether I have a job or not?" Gu Xingbei suddenly appeared in front of them, shielding Su Ruixue behind him. "Besides, does my agent have the ability to make you judge her here?!"

Su Ruixue did not expect Gu Xingbei to suddenly appear and protect her like this. She was suddenly touched.

Jiang Mi looked at Gu Xingbei and said, "Gu Xingbei, I told you to be more respectful when you speak! I only want to take you away from this crappy company because I think highly of you! You have to understand who can give you better resources!"

Gu Xingbei sneered and said disdainfully," Then you really are a good person, but I don't care! "

With that, he pulled Su Ruixue into the company. Jiang Mi stared angrily at Gu Xingbei's figure: "Okay! What I can't get, I won't give to anyone even if I have to destroy it!"

She turned around and left the company.

Gu Xingbei dragged Su Ruixue into the elevator before letting go of her hand.

Su Ruixue looked at him guiltily. "Sorry, I... I didn't get that role for you."

Gu Xingbei crossed his arms over his shoulders and tilted his head to look at her indifferently. His expression didn't change much when he heard the news. He shrugged."

It was as if he had already guessed the result, so he wasn't too disappointed.
