Chapter 2 Hello, my name is Zhao Manyan
Shanghai high-speed railway station.
A young man wearing headphones and with his hands in his pockets slowly walked out of the carriage.
Everyone who noticed him couldn't help but linger their gaze on him.
His face was sculpted with distinct features. Beneath his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of slender, almond-shaped eyes, followed by a high, straight nose. His lips were always curved in a smile, and with his long silver hair, he looked exactly like a silver-haired male god straight out of an anime.
"I need help from all the netizens. I need all the information about this handsome guy in three minutes," a woman holding up her phone, seemingly doing a live stream, said to the screen.
The woman's phone screen was now being flooded with messages.
"Wow! He's so handsome! Where did this good-looking guy come from?"
"I came here to see pretty girls, but I ended up seeing a guy I fell in love with at first sight."
"Hey buddy upstairs, are you a guy?"
"What's wrong with guys? I'm liking guys starting today!"
"Ugh~"

There are several top universities in China, such as the Imperial University of Beijing, the Ancient Capital University of Beijing, and the Sun Yat-sen University.
As an international metropolis, Shanghai naturally has a nationally renowned university, namely Mingzhu University.
The Pearl Academy covers a vast area, divided into the main campus and the green campus. The main campus is its core area, and only students who have reached the intermediate level are qualified to enter it.
The youth campus is relatively more relaxed, serving as a place for freshmen and some upperclassmen whose academic performance is not up to par.
The Qing Campus was bustling with activity today, as the annual freshmen arrived with dreams and aspirations.
"Hello, classmate, are you a freshman?" A girl in a short skirt with a good figure asked the silver-haired young man in front of her with a shy look.
Hua Yu, who was on the phone, was startled. He quickly covered the receiver, smiled apologetically at the girl in the short skirt, and whispered, "Sorry, I'm on the phone."
His smile was so warm that the girl was somewhat mesmerized.
"Alright, Dad, please continue," Hua Yu said, releasing the receiver and speaking into the phone.
"That's all. Just remember what I said, and don't forget to pay a visit to Dean Xiao."
"Oh, Dad, I know. I can take care of myself. You don't need to pull strings for me. I don't want to rely on you too much."
"Oh, I see! Then send back all the Mind Stones and Star River Magic Artifacts I gave you. I'll have someone freeze your bank card in a bit," Hua Zhanhong said casually.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yu's face stiffened.
Are you kidding me?
Dad, are you asking for something? You're asking for your own son's life!
Hua Yu's face flushed red, and the veins on his forehead bulged as he argued, "Disregarding the things needed for cultivation, how can one not compete and fight on the path of cultivation? So how can this be called dependence? These are all things I earned through my own efforts."
Hua Zhanhong on the other end of the phone was speechless and said helplessly, "Fine, fine, it's all thanks to your efforts. Just remember what I said."
"I understand, I understand. It's just about controlling your power. You've said it so many times."
"That's fine then. You can go ahead and get busy. I'll hang up now."
Hua Zhanhong hung up the phone, looked at the pile of documents in front of him, shook his head with a wry smile. As the head of the Southern Army, it seemed that few people were busier than him.
Just as Hua Zhanhong picked up a pen from his desk to review some documents, he seemed to remember something and looked towards the north with some worry, muttering to himself, "I wonder if that brat will eat on time."

After hanging up the phone, Hua Yu looked at his phone and couldn't help but smile. His old man was really long-winded!
"Um, have you finished your call?"
A weak voice came from beside Hua Yu. Only then did he notice that the girl from before was still there. He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I just finished playing and didn't notice you right away. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Hua Yu's polite and kind demeanor seemed to embolden the girl.
"I saw you over there just now, and you seem to be a freshman this year. I'm the senior student in charge of welcoming new students, so I can show you the way." The senior student in the short skirt smiled sweetly at Hua Yu.
The allure of that sweet smile and beautiful face to single men is unimaginable, but Hua Yu isn't swayed by that. He's never lacked pretty girls in his life.
He was just about to speak when his ears twitched slightly.
"Hey, do you think that little slut Ayu can hook up with that handsome guy?"
"I think it's a good idea. You know her, she's a master at playing the innocent card, and men fall for it."
"Ah! What a pity, I wanted that handsome guy too."
"What's there to regret? Once Ayu gets to know him, you'll have no shortage of opportunities."
"Haha, that's true!"
Hua Yu smiled and shook his head. It was clearly the sound of two girls talking in the distance, and the A Yu they were talking about seemed to be the senior in the short skirt in front of him. It seemed that he had become their tool in some way.
Indeed, boys really need to protect themselves when they're out in the world!
"No need, thank you!"
"But I..." Xiaoyu was clearly getting anxious when Huayu refused.
To leave as soon as possible, Hua Yu casually pointed to a blond boy not far away and said, "Senior, I think that boy needs you. You can go and ask him."
The senior in the short skirt looked in the direction Hua Yu was pointing, and there stood a boy with golden curly, shoulder-length hair. He was wearing a simple, pure white tracksuit and had a prince-like face straight out of a fairy tale, making him quite handsome.
She glanced at Hua Yu, then at the blond handsome guy.
They're both so handsome, I want them both!
"Go on. I can tell from that guy's demeanor that he's handsome and rich, while I'm just a poor guy, so you should choose him, no problem." Hua Yu smiled and urged.
Upon hearing Hua Yu's words, the senior student in the short skirt, A Yu, gritted her teeth and headed straight for the blond handsome guy not far away.
She knew perfectly well which to choose: a handsome man with money or a handsome man without money.
"Hello, are you a freshman?"
She still had that shy expression, but the person she was with had changed.
The blond man, who was searching for something, looked the short-skirted girl who suddenly appeared in front of him up and down, and his eyes lit up slightly.
That pretty face, that figure...wow, I've got my prey for today!
"I'm a freshman, and you look like a senior, right?" The blond man smiled very warmly.
"Yes, junior. You're probably not familiar with the area since you've just arrived. I can show you the way."
"Thank you so much, senior! I'll treat you to dinner later!"
The girl in the short skirt couldn't help but smile and said, "You're too kind, junior. You can just call me Ayu."
Hua Yu didn't want to disturb the two people who were having a lively conversation. He quietly walked past them and then heard the blond man's voice.
"Hello, senior, my name is Zhao Manyan!"
