"I remember." In terms of DuYan's character, he would not turn back on such matters.

DuYan waited for HeJin to make a request, but unexpectedly, HeJin didn’t continue. He only said mysteriously, “That’s good, as long as you remember."

A few days later, HeJin seemed to have gone missing again, and it was unknown where he had gone off to play.

After dealing with Nancheng's affairs, DuYan called HeJin and asked if there was anything he needed help with to take to Beicheng once he reported to school.

HeJin replied with one sentence: I can handle it myself.

Since HeJin said so, DuYan didn't worry too much, and went back to Beicheng alone.

Two days before the start of Beicheng University, HeJin finally appeared and took DuYan to a community not far from Beicheng University.

The house in front of DuYan gave off a familiar feeling, because the layout here was almost exactly the same as the house in Nancheng.

It couldn’t be said to be exactly the same, at least there was a difference in hardware. The decorations on the house in Nancheng were very simple. Most of it relied on a combination of furniture and soft decor to create a simple and modern effect.

This house was also similar, with very few decorations. As for the furniture...

"Did you move all the furniture from Nancheng?" DuYan looked back and glanced at the person behind him.

HeJin smiled, "Uncle, you don't like new things very much. Whether it's furniture or new clothes, it always took you a while to get used to it. You’re already used to the things in Nancheng anyway, so of course I would bring it over.”

DuYan was a little confused, "You considered my habits?”

HeJin’s parents left him an education fund. After he reached adulthood, he could use all the money in the fund.

When DuYan first walked into this community, he even complained at heart that this child, once he received his money, had run to the community near the school and bought a room. He was really being willful with his money that he received.

HeJin smiled, his eyes flashing something DuYan couldn't understand, "Uncle, do you still remember, that in Nancheng you still said that you owed me a request.”

DuYan's face remained silent, but a trace of vigilance rose in his heart. This was the first time that he could not understand HeJin's thoughts.

HeJin had always been an easy to understand child, his emotions would hang on his face, and would easily explode. He could not hide anything in his heart. Now, the handsome young man in front of him had sharp eyebrows, and the smile on his lips were extremely gentle, somewhat contradictory, and yet somewhat dangerously attractive.

It's just that this feeling of being unknown and out of control only made DuYan instinctively want to be on guard.

DuYan did not speak, and HeJin didn't care, "My request is for uncle to live here.”

DuYan’s brows wrinkled, "I remember that freshmans are required to live on campus at Beicheng University. You’ve only just enrolled, and it's not good to break the rules.”

"I will live at school." HeJin lowered his eyes slightly, "But I’ve been thinking, I just want to have a home to come back to over the weekends or during holidays.”

When HeJin made this action, that unfamiliar temperament on him that raised DuYan’s guard against him suddenly disappeared.

The vigilance in DuYan's heart dissipated suddenly, and his only thought was that he was still a child. He would still feel nervous and uneasy because he was in an unfamiliar environment and was about to start a new journey in his life.

HeJin lost his father and mother when he was a child. When he was fostered in Zhou's family, although he had no worries about food and clothing, he was missing a very important part of familial affections.

So even for his unqualified uncle, HeJin still had some fledgling affections.

However, this was just the mentality of a freshman who has not yet entered school. When he officially entered school, met more people, and saw a broader world, he would gradually forget about this unimportant uncle, and then DuYan would be able to retire.

Thinking of this, DuYan nodded and agreed to HeJin's request.

HeJin did not break his promise. After the start of Beicheng University, he lived on campus.

Although this community was not too far from the school, HeJin didn’t go home very often.

Occasionally, when he did come home, they would eat together, and HeJin would talk to DuYan about the school like an ordinary freshman. There was nothing more, and nothing less.

DuYan was very satisfied with their current state. Although there were some small twists and turns in the middle, he felt that everything was still proceeding smoothly according to the plan.

HeJin was busy, and DuYan was even more busy. He was busy taking over the rights of the Xie Family step by step.

Xie Boshun was feeling more and more threatened, and he even called his daughter Xie SiQi back from abroad.

The purpose was very simple. Xie Siqi was a well-known beauty in the circle, and had many pursuers. Xie BoShun wanted to find a strong partner for himself through his daughter’s marriage so that he could get more help in the struggle for the rights of the Xie Family.

Even though his daughter had just turned eighteen, and had not even reached the legal age for marriage.

And Zhou YaLi, also due to DuYan’s behind the scenes action, had returned to China with Xie SiQi and entered Beicheng University.

When all the actors were about to make their debut, HeJin officially entered his sophomore year.

As DuYan had expected, even without the school's mandatory regulations, HeJin did not propose to stay at home, but chose to live at school.

September in Beicheng, unlike Nancheng, already had the slight chill hinting of autumn.

Beicheng University was so beautiful that it became a famous tourist attraction in Beicheng. The red maple leaves blazed at the gates to the Student Activity Center.

This kind of enthusiastic scene was especially suitable for the time when freshmans entered the school. They didn’t need to do much decoration, and it would make students from all over the world feel enthusiastic.

As an influential figure in college, HeJin naturally couldn’t avoid the job of ushering in new students. He sat behind the desk at orientation, not very upright and a little sluggish.

Even if others were not freshmens of this college, they would take a few more glances when passing by, and then leave with a shy and excited expression while whispering to their companions around him.

Because that senior satisfied the little girl’s fantasy of college seniors too well. With wide shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, deep eyes and a high nose bridge. He also always handled freshmen’s endless problems with a gentle smile.

The orientation office of the Liberal Arts College was right next door. Fang Xiangxiang had just sent off a freshman for consultation and had a few minutes of free time. She couldn’t help but look in HeJin's direction again.

The roommate next to her was extremely keen, and joked, "Why, watching god He be surrounded by school girls, are you eating vinegar?”

Fang Xiangxiang smiled, "Nonsense, I’m not his girlfriend."

The roommate raised her eyebrows, her face full of gossip, “Come on, god He looks gentle and polite, but he’s actually very difficult to approach. Out of all the girls at school, only you are able to talk to him for more than a few words. Generally speaking, this is called special treatment..."

The roommate was still chattering over there, but Fang Xiangxiang was lost in thought because of one of the words.

Gentle and polite?

That arrogant and unyielding rebellious youth from when they first met, had given all of the teachers at Nanwai a headache. HeJin, the school bully of Nanwai, was now described as gentle and polite, and had become the male god of Beicheng University.

Things were so changeable.

She suddenly felt a little dazed. The HeJin in front of her and Chen YeZhou, the little neighborhood gege she liked back then, slowly overlapped.

Fang Xiangxiang didn't understand. Was it because HeJin changed for the better and was similar to Chen YeZhou in high school, that she now liked HeJin.

If this is the case, she has already become Chen YeZhou’s junior, and the relationship between the two was now good, but her eyes always remained on HeJin.

"Hey, Fang Xiangxiang, look, who is that?"

Fang Xiangxiang came back to her senses and saw a beautiful girl with a graceful figure, talking with HeJin. Judging from HeJin's expression, they didn’t look like they didn’t know each other.

"HeJin-gege!"

Just as he sent away a wave of new students, HeJin rubbed his slightly swollen forehead, ready to go back and take a rest. It’s just that he had only turned around when he heard someone calling for him.

HeJin turned his head, and against his expectations, "YaLi?"

"Are you surprised!" Zhou YaLi grinned and ran to HeJin within a few steps.

"Why are you back?” The corner of HeJin’s mouth brought out a small smile. He was a little happy seeing his little meimei that he hadn’t seen for a long time.

Although he hadn't seen her for several years, HeJin was still grateful for this little meimei Zhou YaLi.

When his parents had an accident, and both died. He suddenly became an orphan overnight. When he was taken home by Zhou DeFeng, he had closed in on himself for a period of time.

At that time, because of the lively Zhou YaLi, who had been continuously bringing HeJin to go play, he finally slowly walked out of the shadows.

HeJin had always regarded Zhou YaLi as his own little sister, until after Zhou YaLi was sent to study abroad, and the two slowly became a little alienated.

Zhou YaLi raised her head and glanced at him triumphantly, "Not only have I returned to China, but now I'm your junior.” After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand, "Please take care of me, senior."

HeJin was a little bit dumbfounded, "How could Uncle Zhou allow you to go back to China to study at university? Didn't he always want you to stay abroad, and settle down there?”

Zhou YaLi curled her lips, "I'm already an adult. I’m not like that kid that always has to listen to them at home. I don't like staying abroad, so I came back.”

HeJin felt that this was a bit strange. At first, Uncle Zhou, regardless of Zhou YaLi's crying, forcibly sent her to a boarding school abroad, but now he had agreed to her coming back to study at university.

"Enough already, I haven't seen you for so long, but why do you keep mentioning my dad for?" Zhou YaLi protested, "As a senior, shouldn't you show me around the school?"

HeJin asked, "Which college are you from?"

"College of Liberal Arts, what's the matter?”

HeJin smiled helplessly, "The freshmen in the College of Liberal Arts are not under our control, and you are a girl, so it is not convenient for me to take you to the dormitory. How about this, I happen to have a friend from the College of Liberal Arts who is also welcoming freshmens. I’ll bring you over.”

After finishing speaking, HeJin led Zhou YaLi in the direction of Fang Xiangxiang's College of Liberal Arts.
