CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 224 ENDORSEMENT

Shu Wan certainly knew that Fu Siyu was very happy, because even with her eyes closed, the joy emanating from him was contagious.

The room was warm, the faint scent of Fu Siyu lingering at the tip of her nose, the warmth on her face not yet dissipated.

Although she hadn’t brought the white fox she raised in this era, at this moment, Shu Wan felt the pleasure of burying herself in the soft fur of the White Fox.

Joy and timidity intertwined, like the flames burning in the fireplace, fervently blossoming and silently spreading the warmth throughout the entire space.

Shu Wan had lain there for a while without falling asleep, guessing that Fu Siyu must have left by now, she slowly opened her eyes, only to meet Fu Siyu’s profound gaze.

Shu Wan was stunned for a moment as the smile in Fu Siyu’s eyes unfolded, "Awake?"

Even though she knew Fu Siyu was asking knowingly, Shu Wan still nodded, following along with what Fu Siyu had said, "I slept for a little while, I’m a bit thirsty now."

"Then I’ll get you some water."

Saying so, Fu Siyu fetched a glass of warm water. Although not thirsty, Shu Wan still forced herself to take a sip.

After drinking, Shu Wan handed the glass back to Fu Siyu, seemingly unintentional, "Why did you stay here the whole time?"

"Do you want the truth or a lie?"

Fu Siyu gazed directly at Shu Wan, the warmth in his eyes impossible to fully conceal.

Shu Wan’s hand under the covers unconsciously retracted, "A lie."

"The lie is that I wanted to warm myself up near the fireplace," Fu Siyu replied, pausing for a moment before asking Shu Wan, "Why not ask for the truth?"

"I don’t want to hear it." Shu Wan answered decisively, quickly fearing that if she spoke too slowly, Fu Siyu would tell the truth.

Fu Siyu chuckled softly, "Alright, then I won’t say."

"You sitting here, I can’t sleep well; go sit over there."

Fu Siyu’s presence was too overpowering; Shu Wan couldn’t escape his piercing gaze even with her eyes closed.

"Alright."

This time, Fu Siyu complied obediently and decisively moved to the other side to read some documents.

Shu Wan lay down and closed her eyes, feeling a wave of relief. However, beyond that relief, tendrils of bittersweet emotion spread from the depths of her heart.

Yet at this moment, Shu Wan could never ask Fu Siyu to come sit back down, her mind tangled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts, and unknowingly, she fell asleep.

When Shu Wan woke up again, it was already three in the afternoon.

The light rain pattered outside, splashing delicate droplets against the windows, making Shu Wan feel too cozy inside to want to get out of bed.

But with an exam in the afternoon, Shu Wan had no choice but to get up.

When she changed her clothes and came out, she didn’t see Fu Siyu. At that moment, a servant came up, and before Shu Wan could speak, informed her, "The young master said to tell you that he had to go to the office for a bit, and you can call him if you need anything."

"Okay."

Shu Wan didn’t visit Qing University often, mainly during the first two weeks of the semester.

After experiencing campus life and understanding the university’s credit system, Shu Wan didn’t attend classes daily.

She took the textbooks home and would look at them during breaks from filming.

Additionally, with today’s advanced technology, as long as she asked a classmate to record the lectures, she didn’t need to attend school.

So, regarding the exams, others were more worried than Shu Wan.

Her professional course instructor even hinted that Shu Wan could apply to take the exams next semester.

Shu Wan thanked the teacher for the kindness but chose to take the exams with her classmates.

The exam lasted two hours, but Shu Wan finished her paper in just one hour.

Although Shu Wan seldom came to the university, the pharmaceutical company she founded required a solid professional foundation.

Even though she hired a professional manager to run the company, as the top decision-maker, Shu Wan naturally needed to understand these basic principles.

The knowledge from university textbooks was intertwined with her daily studies, making the exam content not difficult for Shu Wan.

She submitted her paper and left the classroom under the astonished gazes of her classmates.

Just as Shu Wan left, news of her appearance on campus for the final exams hit the trending searches.

Being a highly popular celebrity meant such problems; every move was under public scrutiny, especially for a contentious topic like final exams.

["Isn’t Shu Wan always filming and attending events? How does she have time for classes?"]

["Are university final exams even hard? A last-minute three-day cram should be okay. Barely passing would already be impressive."]
