The recording of “Life Experience” has ended, and the trending topic about Ji Xizhi’s birthday has exploded.

After the recording, Ji Xizhi earnestly signed autographs for each fan present, took photos, and prepared many autographs to give away in a Weibo lottery.

Back near the school, Jiang Qianli, Chu Ang, Xiao Yuan, and Ah Lu were all waiting at the doorstep.

The house was piled high with gifts.

Qi Zheng brought even more good news; the cases involving Hangxing Entertainment and Ji Yezong were all won.

As for how the verdict was declared, Ji Xizhi did not want to inquire much tonight.

Because tonight, she has gained too many family members.

Ji Xizhi drank alcohol and, for a rare occasion, stayed up all night for fun.

In a daze, Ji Xizhi seemed to see her childhood self again.

She couldn’t distinguish which world this self belonged to.

But wanted to tell the her who shared the past,

Now, everything is good.

–

When she woke up the next day, Ji Xizhi’s head was heavy, but she still forced herself to get up because today was the start of the semester.

When fresh blood enters the campus, it is always sunny.

Ji Xizhi dragged her suitcase and moved into the school dormitory.

Xiao Yuan’s graduate school exams have entered a tense phase, and Ah Lu moved in to prepare together with Xiao Yuan.

Ji Xizhi plans to occasionally take time to visit them.

Once she entered the school dormitory, Ji Xizhi officially bid farewell to the entertainment circle temporarily.

Fans seemed to already know what Ji Xizhi was planning to do.

No one pushed Ji Xizhi’s name to the top of the trending list again. They are Ji Xizhi’s fans, more like countless lines running parallel with Ji Xizhi, intersecting and intertwining, but with their own goals and lives.

Almost overnight at the start of the semester, intellectuals simultaneously changed their status to:

Join Zhi Zhi! Pursue your dreams and strive to be the best version of yourself!

On the Qing University campus, Ji Xizhi skillfully completed the new student registration process.

Then she proceeded methodically to the office.

Without the halo of the entertainment world, she was still just an ordinary student on the Qing University campus.

Ji Xizhi walked under the shaded paths of the campus.

At this time, it is the hottest part of midday, and there were few people on this path, most just cycling through briefly and quickly leaving.

Only Ji Xizhi, carrying a backpack, was walking slowly.

Noon is usually a time for rest, especially since today is registration day, Jiang Qianli had already told her not to go to the office today.

But Ji Xizhi insisted on going, though she wasn’t in a hurry, so she walked a bit slower.

When she reached the end of the shaded path, she prepared to turn a corner.

Suddenly, she heard a groaning sound beside her.

“Oh, oh~”

An elegantly dressed old man was sitting on the ground, gasping for breath.

The old man was holding a phone in his hand, seemingly dialing but failing to connect.

Seeing this, Ji Xizhi approached proactively, “Sir, do you need help?”

The old man looked up and, upon seeing Ji Xizhi, his eyes suddenly lit up, “Ah! That’s wonderful!”

Ji Xizhi helped the old man up and asked, “Where are you going? I’ll take you there.”

The old man smiled but didn’t answer Ji Xizhi’s question.

Instead, he questioned Ji Xizhi.

“Young lady, aren’t you afraid of helping an old man who fell? Aren’t you afraid I might extort you?”

Ji Xizhi answered easily, “I’m not afraid. You can try it; I’m studying law, and my mentors all are involved in law. There are eight surveillance cameras on this street, and they can capture the entire incident. According to Article 274 of the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China: The crime of extortion of public and private property, where the amount is large or extortion occurs multiple times, is punishable by imprisonment of up to three years, detention or control. Would you like to extort me still?”

The old man listened in a stupor and then repeatedly waved off the idea.

“No need, really no need!”

After a while, the old man picked up the conversation again, praising, “Studying law is good, studying law is great!”

Ji Xizhi agreed along.

On the way, the two chatted casually about family.

When Ji Xizhi delivered him to his destination, she planned to turn back and leave.

Unexpectedly, the old man grabbed her tightly.

“Young student, would you mind waiting with me for a bit?”

The old man’s voice carried a hint of pleading.

Ji Xizhi didn’t refuse.

The two waited downstairs.

About a few minutes later, a man dressed in pure black work clothes came downstairs.

The man’s voice was cold, “Grandpa, you———”

His words stopped abruptly when he looked up.

Ji Xizhi did not expect that the casually met old man on the road would be someone familiar.

She raised her hand for a greeting, “Long time no see.”

After the greeting, Ji Xizhi remembered the gifts from last night and added, “Thank you for the birthday present.”

Fang Yuliang’s eyebrows and eyes were tinged with a bit of smile, “What brings you here?”

This question wasn’t answered by Ji Xizhi.

Grandpa Fang responded first, “Xiao Yu, so you know each other! I fell down just now, and this young student helped me over!”

While talking, Grandpa Fang winked repeatedly at Fang Yuliang.

Fang Yuliang felt an inexplicable sense of helplessness, “Your bones would fall?”

Grandpa Fang: “…… How are you talking to me like this!”

If this boy had said he had such a girl by his side earlier, he wouldn’t have had to pretend to fall!

Grandpa Fang turned with a wide smile to Ji Xizhi, “Young student, what’s your name! I’ll have my grandson invite you to eat—————”

Before Grandpa Fang could finish his sentence, Fang Yuliang abruptly stopped him.

Fang Yuliang looked at Ji Xizhi apologetically.

“Grandpa, she’s very busy!”

Ji Xizhi also spoke, “It’s good to have delivered you; I’ll head to the office.”

Without waiting for Grandpa Fang to continue, Ji Xizhi shouldered her bag and left again.

Grandpa Fang: “Eh… Eh…”

This was the first time he encountered someone like the girl before him.

Kind and confident, Grandpa Fang liked her at first sight.

Knowing that Fang Yuliang actually knew this young lady, he liked her even more.

Sadly, they didn’t share a meal.

Grandpa Fang regretfully watched Ji Xizhi leave.

Once Ji Xizhi’s figure completely disappeared from his sight, he hurriedly turned to question Fang Yuliang,

“You know this young lady???”

“You never hang out with young ladies?”

“Do you like her?”

A barrage of questions, Fang Yuliang didn’t respond to.

Grandpa Fang: “Fine, if you don’t like her I’ll set you up…”

“I like her.”

Very softly, like the wind, ready to be blown away at any moment.

But Grandpa Fang heard it.

“I know her goals, her dreams, what she wants, so… I can’t disturb her.”

Grandpa Fang’s smiling eyes closed somewhat.

“Then…”

Fang Yuliang looked toward the direction the wind was disappearing, saying, “Being able to attend school together is good enough; when she achieves her goals and wants to stop, I’ll be the first waiting by her side.”

Grandpa Fang wanted to say something, but upon seeing Fang Yuliang’s expression, he closed his mouth.

Grandpa Fang remained silent for a while before asking the final question.

“What if she never stops?”

Fang Yuliang presented a faint smile: “If she doesn’t stop, then it means she still has to move forward, and I just need to keep moving forward too.”

She might not know what she has given me.

But because of her, my world has more colors.

She is the salvation of the entire world, not mine.

All I have to do is to wait.
