Ni Xuanyi couldn't simply watch as Li Yi left. She could only tell the security guard by the entrance that she was a student participating in the performance and had just come down from the stage to retrieve some items from her class formation, wanting to go inside to meet up with other classmates.

The security guard noticed Ni Xuanyi's clear features and somewhat artistic demeanor, so he let her through without much thought.

As they say, enemies often meet in unexpected places. The moment Ni Xuanyi stepped into the side entrance, she was spotted by Li Gege coming from backstage. These performers had opportunities to take photos with important guests, get autographs, and share a meal together. At that moment, Li Gege was boasting about something to her friends.

Knowing that Ni Xuanyi wasn’t one of the participating students, seeing her suddenly appear here surprised Li Gege. She then recalled last night’s events, deliberately shouting loudly, "How did you get in Who let you come in You’re not allowed here, do you understand"

Ni Xuanyi saw that Li Yi was just a short distance away and if she didn’t hurry up, they would turn the corner ahead. She ignored what Li Gege said and ran forward.

"Stop! Where do you think you're going to run off to" Seeing Ni Xuanyi ignore her and continue running, Li Gege couldn't help but shout louder, "You wicked woman, stop or I'll call the security."

Ni Xuanyi ignored what Li Gege was saying and kept running. Just as she was about to reach the back of the main group ahead, Li Gege suddenly shouted loudly, "Help! There's a bad person here. Dad, someone wants to hurt you guys."

Li Gege’s father was a vice-provincial governor, making him the highest-ranking official among them. Relying on her father's status, Li Gege had already been showing off in front of the actors backstage, fully displaying her spoiled and arrogant nature. She believed no one at G University would dare to provoke her.

At this moment, when Ni Xuanyi refused to stop, she boldly shouted without any reservations.

The richer and more powerful a figure is, the more they fear death. When those people in front heard Lady Li's shout, they immediately turned back anxiously. Si Yong Wen, who always followed Li Yi closely, also heard her cry out and habitually reached for his gun at the waist.

Upon hearing Lady Li's shout, Ni Xuanyi felt hatred well up inside. She did not want to become a target of everyone’s suspicion, so she stood right behind that group of people.

The crowd turned back anxiously but didn't see anyone suspicious trying to harm them.

Since Ni Xuanyi was wearing G University's school uniform and was short with a clear and pretty appearance, no one thought of her as someone bad.

Vice Governor Li knew that his daughter had been spoiled and loved to cause trouble on a daily basis. Now, she suddenly shouted loudly in front of these important figures, which made him unhappy. He sternly reprimanded Lady Li softly, "What are you yelling about There's no decorum."

"No, Dad, there really is a bad person," Lady Li panted as she caught up and looked around for Ni Xuanyi.

"Where is the bad guy Don't talk nonsense," Vice Governor Li frowned disapprovingly at his daughter.

"She… She is the bad one," Lady Li pointed at the chubby school leader beside Ni Xuanyi.

"She's the bad guy..." Deputy Provincial Governor Li looked at Ni Xuanyi with confusion, who was in a corner. Everyone's eyes followed Li Gege's finger to look at Ni Xuanyi.

Ni Xuanyi felt awkward. She bit her lip and raised her head to look towards Li Yi’s direction, hoping that he would recognize her first.

Right when Li Gege was shouting earlier, Li Yi received a very important phone call. In order to hear more clearly, he walked to an empty spot at the front where no one could see him and did not notice Ni Xuanyi who had been surrounded by everyone.

Ni Xuanyi looked at Li Yi's distant and noble figure. Standing there in a dark suit, he seemed extremely imposing.

Suddenly, Ni Xuanyi felt like she had lost all her courage. She had already experienced how high up Li Yi was earlier. He was someone like a god, and they were completely from different worlds. To Li Yi, she was out of reach. Now, she preferred to be misunderstood rather than hear him say he didn’t know who she was.

"Ni Xuanyi, do you have something here" The principal recognized Ni Xuanyi from yesterday. Seeing that Li Gege pointed at her and called her bad guy, he had no choice but to step in immediately.

The principal looked at Ni Xuanyi with a rather serious expression.

There was the principal's way of thinking. He thought that Ni Xuanyi must be unhappy about how he handled things yesterday and came here today to cause trouble. Knowing that many politicians, merchants, and media friends were present today, if Ni Xuanyi said what happened last night, everyone would know that he feared power and teamed up with Lady Li to bully a weak female student. This would ruin his reputation.

Ni Xuanyi shook her head. Just as she was about to say there wasn’t anything, she suddenly heard an excited voice. "Ni Xuanyi Is it really you"

Everyone quickly turned their heads at the sound. They saw Mr. Li, who was usually indifferent and composed, walking over with a look of surprise.

Li Yi was on a phone call just now, but his memory is exceptionally strong, and his hearing and vision are sharp. Hearing the principal calling Ni Xuanyi's name, he couldn't help but be stunned. Turning around to take another look, standing right in the center of the crowd was indeed his stubborn little benefactor, Ni Xuanyi.

Since last night until now, Ni Xuanyi has been overwhelmed with委屈 (grief/heartache). She had just been afraid that Li Yi would say he didn't know her. But right now, he's smiling warmly and walking towards her in big steps, calling out to her親切地 (affectionately).

Her nose felt congested, and her eyes turned red, but she tried hard to suppress herself, not allowing her weak yet joyful tears to fall in front of these people.

After so many years of tempering and training, Li Yi's heart has always been calm. The way he appears in public is always composed and strict, standing straight with an excellent demeanor that isn't rigid but also not easy to approach.

But today, seeing this little girl who brought him countless surprises at a place where Ni Xuanyi shouldn't be, he really was quite excited. The happy expression on his face made everyone clearly see the significance she holds in his heart.

Li Yi walked briskly over to Ni Xuanyi's side and saw the strong-willed little girl with big eyes holding back tears, looking very pitiful indeed. This surprised him greatly; how could such a stubborn girl cry

Seeing the glimmer of tears in Ni Xuanyi's eyes made Li Yi inexplicably feel tightness in his chest and shortness of breath. He quickly held onto her shoulders and anxiously looked at her small face, asking with concern: "Ni Xuanyi, what's wrong"

Washing Siyong, who was following behind Li Yi, also recognized Ni Xuanyi at this moment. During his time in the Golden Triangle, he had been full of gratitude and fondness towards her but thought that he could never repay her kindness. He didn't expect to see her here.ld have stabilized.Upon hearing this, Luoxi realized that she couldn't leave anytime soon. And if she couldn't leave, Junhe would have to stay with her. This constant attachment was not ideal either.A...
