Chapter 25: The Black Pot on His Back (Part 2)

Recently, news broke out at Beicheng University that HeJin, the male god of the School of Finance, was going abroad. It was said that he was going to Y Country’s M University.

Although it was not unusual for students of Beicheng University to study abroad, they usually went abroad for further studies after graduation or as an exchange student for one year.

HeJin was not of any of these two cases.

This was because students usually chose at the beginning of sophomore or junior year to go study abroad. There had never been this kind of situation before where a student went abroad in the middle of the academic year.

This caused even more speculations and rumors about HeJin's background in the school.

Fang Xiangxiang had been distressed by this incident recently, because many well-intentioned people approached her to inquire about the secret.

But she knew no more than what the school knew.

Until now, Fang Xiangxiang had not been able to make contact with HeJin, and she is also very anxious. As for contacting DuYan, who was most likely to know HeJin's whereabouts, Fang Xiangxiang simply didn’t have the courage to contact such a superior person.

At the end of sophomore year, Fang Xiangxiang’s supervisor came to ask her if she wanted to go abroad as an exchange student.

Fang Xiangxiang was a little surprised. In fact, after entering Beicheng University, although she could keep up with her grades, she was not as outstanding as she was back at Nanwai.

The amount of people who could be an exchange student was like the sweet bun that everyone was vying for. Fang Xiangxiang never thought that she could become an exchange student.

Fang Xiangxiang doesn't have too much obsession with studying abroad. It would be a little difficult on her family if she wanted to go abroad.

She hesitated for a while, but still refused, "Sorry, but I have no plans to go abroad..."

The supervisor expressed regret and said, "That’s a pity, the quota to go to M University is very rare, and they don’t do it every year.

M University? Isn’t that the university that HeJin had gone to in the rumor?

Fang Xiangxiang immediately changed her mind and said, "Teacher Zhao, I thought over it again, but I still don't want to give up this opportunity."

DuYan, the black hand that moved behind the scenes, sent HeJin's destined female lead Fang Xiangxiang to M University. Only then did he feel that the plan’s derailment might be back on track again.

Y Country’s M City was where DuYan had lived for several years, and M University was where he studied for university. Although he was going to send away HeJin, he wouldn't let HeJin run to a place beyond his control because of this matter.

As for Zhou YaLi and Xie SiQi, he didn’t need to worry about it. Xie SiQi originally returned to China to help Xie BoShun seize power. Now that HeJin was sent to Y Country’s M University, Xie BoShun would want to contact him, so he would send Xie SiQi there again.

Although the plan had changed, actors from all walks of life changed their stage and continued to perform this revenge story.

Two years later.

Y Country’s M City was always drizzling during the late fall, which made the city have a gloomier temperament and become more quiet. The passing pedestrians tightly wrapped their windbreakers, as they hurried past with their black umbrellas.

When DuYan came out of the arrival gate, no one came to pick him up. He walked directly to the exit, and got into the waiting black car.

"Lewis, how is the situation?"

The middle-aged man in the driver's seat quickly briefed DuYan of the recent situation.

Zhou YaLi never gave up on HeJin. With Xie SiQi’s help, she was able to obtain the quota to go as an exchange student to M University, and chased after him abroad.

The scenes that should have happened in Beicheng had changed stage, and now, all the actors had arrived.

There was going to be an important play coming soon, and DuYan couldn’t let things play out in places where he couldn’t see. If things went out of track would he then be able to change it back in time.

When HeJin was sent to M University, this was so that he could master his resources to the maximum.

DuYan's car stopped at the gate of M University.

He got out of the car with a black umbrella, pulled up the collar of the windbreaker, and lowered the black top hat on his head. His appearance was not inconsistent with the men of Y Country, especially during late autumn.

(T/N: I kid you not, they really be wearing a top hat 礼帽 during a modern arc.)

Even though DuYan's figure was not as strong as Westerners, his shoulders and back were straight, his waist was strong and thin, and the windbreaker had a unique charm on his body.

When encountering a excellent person of the opposite sex, passing female students couldn’t help but take a few more glances. Fortunately, most people in Y Country were reserved and elegant. Although DuYan looked like a stranger, those female students only took a second look and no one rashly came up to talk.

DuYan actually liked Y Country. People got along with each other politely and at a distance. This was also the place he chose for himself when he got older. After all the dust had settled, it was uncertain when the master of the dreams would wake up. Maybe it would be the moment he gained the Xie Family, or perhaps the moment he got married with his true love.

This was beyond DuYan's control, so at the beginning of the plan, he had already chosen a place to live afterwards. This was a modern society under the rule of law. Of course, villains wouldn’t be killed, and DuYan didn’t want to try the feeling of being behind bars in his dream world.

Absconding abroad was his only choice left.

DuYan’s footsteps showed that he was familiar with the place. He knew every path and how to reach any place he wanted to go to without any attention.

The student dorms of M University were designed with simplicity and elegance in mind. It was more expensive than living in an apartment outside.

DuYan stood behind a big tree at the corner, perfectly hiding his figure. With his good vision, he was able to see everything from there.

DuYan is very familiar with HeJin's living habits, including the timetable. Otherwise, if he waited for the other without a plan in this kind of rain, it would just be pure self abuse.

Not before long, the familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared at the end of the road.

After two years of absence, the last trace of youth had completely disappeared from HeJin’s face, and his height had even increased a little.

The petite woman next to him was Fang Xiangxiang.

HeJin lowered his head slightly and was saying something to Fang Xiangxiang, his expression very gentle.

It seems that the past two years of experience had allowed him to let go of his previous immature infatuation, and everything had returned to its proper position.

Although DuYan had been able to learn all kinds of information about HeJin from the photos in the past two years, when he saw the real person, a different feeling arose.

DuYan's presence here was to make sure that there were no accidents in his situation, so that he could proceed with the next step.

HeJin's footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned slightly, and looked in the direction of DuYan's.

DuYan stepped back slightly. From HeJin’s angle, he clearly shouldn't be able to see him, but he still felt inexplicably guilty.

HeJin frowned slightly, as he had felt a slight throbbing at the bottom of his heart. It was obviously just an ordinary big tree, a big tree that could be seen every day when he went back to the dormitory.

But today, it felt a bit unusual.

He lifted his foot wanting to check it out, but Fang Xiangxiang stopped him.

"HeJin?" Fang Xiangxiang said, "Why aren’t you going up? Is there something wrong over there?"

"Nothing." HeJin smiled, turned, and walked into the building.

But in his heart he spurned himself again, how could that person appear here, HeJin, you are really delusional.

Seeing HeJin and Fang Xiangxiang walking into the dormitory, DuYan finally settled down.

From the information Lewis sent one after another, DuYan knew that HeJin had begun interning at Y Country’s most famous investment company. It was said that its industry evaluation was very good.

DuYan thought that HeJin was truly worthy of being the male lead. Even though he was semi-exiled to Y Country, he was still like a fish swimming in the water.

In the past two years, HeJin had not tried to return to China. After Fang Xiangxiang went abroad, the two had been in a close relationship. DuYan felt that HeJin had probably come out of that irrational young infatuation.

Everything was going back on track.

DuYan stopped delaying, turned, and walked out the school.

In the dormitory, HeJin stood in a hidden corner behind the window, and watched the distant figure below.

The man was wearing a windbreaker, holding a black umbrella, standing tall and straight, walking steadily away.

It was just an ordinary back, but HeJin couldn't remove his eyes anyway. Even if it's just a back, he would be able to know who that person was.

The strangeness just now really wasn't his illusion.

"Uncle……"

HeJin uttered the word in a low sentimental voice, as if he had been ironing and hiding it in his heart for a long time, and then rolled around on the tip of his tongue three times before he unwillingly let the name fall into the late autumn’s cold air.

"Are you here to see me?" HeJin's fingers gently brushed his fingers over the glass, as if he was trying to brush the continuous drizzle away from his back.

"I’m thinking too much again. You would only appear in country Y only for official business. And on the way, confirm that your junior is staying in school obediently, am I right?"

Of course DuYan came to Y Country for business.

He got into the back seat of the car, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's almost time. Find a chance to let your people who are following HeJin to be found by Zhou YaLi or Xie SiQi."

"Yes." The middle-aged man named Lewis in the driver's seat was so ordinary that his appearance could be forgotten in an instant.

After a while, he speculated and asked, "After that, how should we send those things into their hands?”

DuYan looked at the gloomy sky outside the car window and tapped his finger on the armrest twice, "After that, we wait for Xie SiQi to find the door. After all, Xie BoShun is over there, but I am driving him crazy."
