Day Two: Liu Xiyue enrolled in the afternoon. To avoid chaos, the school notified teachers in advance to keep students in classrooms as much as possible.
However, some students still liked Liu Xiyue and sneaked out from various corners of the teaching building during breaks.
Soon, a crowd of students gathered at the school gate. Song Shudi could see the situation from her position.
Ten minutes later, a Maybach slowly pulled up at the school gate. The moment the door opened, various cameras began zooming in on Liu Xiyue’s face. The shutters clicked rapidly, and dozens of photos were taken, and not a single one was unflattering. This was seventeen-year-old Liu Xiyue, a quintessential innocent and pure campus beauty.
Liu Xiyue dressed neatly in her school uniform. Her small face, framed by her bangs, was exquisitely beautiful. The autumn breeze ruffled her soft hair, and every smile and gesture captivated the onlookers.
“Wow, I knew she was pretty, but I didn’t expect her to be this pretty.” Even students who weren’t fans glanced at her as they passed by, and just one glance was enough to leave them speechless with astonishment.
“She’s already at the school beauty level.”
“No, no, no, even the school beauty looks like an ordinary person standing next to her. They’re not even in the same league.”
The surrounding students’ exclamations rose and fell, but since this was a school, they didn’t dare make any further moves. When class was about to start, they had no choice but to obediently go back to their lessons.
“Do you think Song Shudi is here?” Liu Xiyue asked 719 while dealing with the people around her.
Her ultimate goal was always to find Song Shudi; if she couldn’t find him, then everything would be meaningless.
“She should be here. I detected the energy of another host here.”
Liu Xiyue and Song Shudi possessed the same ability to travel through time and space, and their energy fields had similarities. Based on this, 719 quickly pinpointed Song Shudi’s approximate location.
“Could you be more precise?” Her high school was the best in the city, with a large campus. She wanted to find Song Shudi as quickly as possible.
“Don’t worry, there are only so many people in the school, you’ll find her eventually.”
“How can I not be anxious? You know my feelings for her…”
She longed for Song Shudi, like a dried-up river yearning for rain. Every thought of Song Shudi awakened her restless heart.
With the desire to find Song Shudi in mind, Liu Xiyue went into the teaching building to register for new student registration.
However, the person she had been thinking about day and night was still focused on physics class, not even glancing at the school gate.
In fact…completely oblivious to her presence.
“Actually, I really want to go see her.” 210’s words suddenly appeared in Song Shudi’s mind.
“Didn’t you already see her when Bai was dying?” Song Shudi was working on physics problems. These days, even the system’s curiosity is so strong.
“Oh dear, last time I saw Liu Xiyue at 27, but I want to see Liu Xiyue at 17. They’re definitely different.” 210 had been obsessed with Liu Xiyue ever since seeing her GG sign on the street; she was a sucker for good looks too.
Song Shudi: …….
After class, just as Song Shudi had predicted, a bunch of students ran to the humanities class just to catch a glimpse of Liu Xiyue and see if she was as beautiful as rumored. Of course, there were also a few fans who brought albums, hoping to get Liu Xiyue’s autographs.
None of this concerned Song Shudi; she simply kept her head down, doing what she was supposed to do.
“Hey, what do you think you’d do if you bumped into Liu Xiyue at school?” 210 asked.
“I’d avoid her if I could, and if I couldn’t, I’d just ignore her.” Song Shudi didn’t really like greeting people; she didn’t want unnecessary socializing. Over the next few months, Song Shudi proved her plan with her actions.
Liu Xiyue searched for Song Shudi relentlessly throughout the school, scouring every nook and cranny. She glanced at almost every student in every class, but none of them were Song Shudi. She even paid attention to the faculty and staff.
Meanwhile, Song Shudi frantically avoided Liu Xiyue using the system. Every time Liu Xiyue passed by their classroom, Song Shudi would immediately run to the balcony, giving Liu Xiyue no chance.
With the New Year’s Eve party approaching, Liu Xiyue looked at the program schedule in her hand, but her mind was completely elsewhere.
She had searched for months without finding anything, and she was feeling quite unwell. Sitting pale-faced in her seat, she was panicked, her throat felt like it was being choked, and she was afraid that her hopes would be dashed again.
“Are you sure she’s at school?” Liu Xiyue asked 719 again.
It shouldn’t be like this; she had searched very carefully. There couldn’t be a problem.
“I’m sure I can feel her energy every day, but I don’t know why I can’t find her.”
“Will her appearance change?”
“No, a transmigrator’s appearance is always their own. If she possesses someone else’s body, then that person’s appearance in other people’s minds will become that of the transmigrator.” 719 also found it strange. During this time, it had also been helping Liu Xiyue search for people, but it had also come up empty-handed.
“By the way, is it possible that she’s deliberately hiding from you?” 719 provided an important piece of information.
They were both transmigrators, so if Song Shudi wanted to avoid Liu Xiyue’s search, it would be quite simple.
“She doesn’t have any memories of me, so why is she hiding from me?” Liu Xiyue didn’t understand. Song Shudi hadn’t even seen her in this world, so there was no need for her to hide from her.
“That’s not necessarily true. You know, some transmigrators avoid contact with other transmigrators for the sake of their missions. Someone as cautious as Song Shudi could possibly do that.”
If a transmigrator’s identity is exposed by a fellow transmigrator, they will face other risks.
719’s analysis was absolutely correct. Song Shudi was avoiding contact with Liu Xiyue precisely because he wanted to complete the task as quickly as possible.
“Right, how could I forget that?”
Liu Xiyue suddenly realized. She knew Song Shudi was cautious, but she had forgotten that he might not even want to touch her.
“Is there any solution? I can’t let her keep avoiding me.”
Liu Xiyue became even more anxious, her delicate eyebrows furrowing in a rare display of distress. Being rejected by her lover was a terrible feeling.
“You can try blocking yourself; that way, her system won’t be able to detect you.”
Without hesitation, Liu Xiyue immediately hid herself.
“The New Year’s Eve party is the day after tomorrow; there will be a huge crowd, and your chances of finding her will be much higher,” 719 comforted Liu Xiyue.
Since Song Shudi was in this school, she would find her sooner or later.
“Okay.”
Liu Xiyue secretly resolved to find her at the New Year’s Eve party.
·····Two days later······
The New Year’s Eve party arrived as scheduled, and students from every class carried their little stools to watch the performances. Song Shudi was no exception.
This year, because of Liu Xiyue’s special performance, the atmosphere was incredibly lively, comparable to a concert. Before Liu Xiyue even appeared, more than a dozen cameras were already set up.
After several performances, it was Liu Xiyue’s turn to appear.
The surrounding students began to move their stools forward, and those with cameras were already holding them up. The students shouted Liu Xiyue’s name loudly. In just a few months, many people had become her die-hard fans after seeing Liu Xiyue’s beauty.
The deafening shouts echoed throughout the entire playground, and Song Shudi felt like she was about to collapse.
Just as she was about to leave, she was blocked by a crowd.
“Excuse me, could you please move aside?” Song Shudi said politely.
The person ignored her.
“Could you please move aside?” Still no response. “Excuse me, I want to go out, could you please move aside?” … As if deaf, there was no response at all .
Song Shudi: I really…
In the end, Song Shudi could only helplessly go back. The moment Liu Xiyue stepped onto the stage, another wave of cheers erupted from the crowd, and cameras focused on Liu Xiyue’s breathtakingly beautiful face.
Today, Liu Xiyue wore light makeup; the simple makeup paired with her clear hairstyle made her look like a campus romance novel heroine at first glance. Her pair of watery, peach-blossom eyes looked at the camera pointed at her, and her striking beauty captivated a large number of people. Especially the boys around her, whose ears were already turning red. Young and inexperienced, they felt genuinely shy in the face of such beauty.
Liu Xiyue sang her newly released song, her sweet and melodious voice echoing around the playground. Her singing skills were solid, and her dancing was also exceptional, easily capturing the attention of the entire school. Even Song Shudi glanced at her a few more times. “Not bad, worthy of being the heroine.” Song Shudi applauded her sincerely. However, despite the applause, after watching Liu Xiyue’s performance, Song Shudi planned to return to the classroom; she wasn’t particularly interested in these kinds of performances. After her performance, Liu Xiyue went to find Song Shudi.
“Your outfit is a bit eye-catching; change your clothes first,” 719 suggested. “Okay,” Liu Xiyue replied, carrying her bag, preparing to go to the restroom to change and remove her makeup. Because Liu Xiyue had concealed herself, Song Shudi’s system couldn’t detect her presence. Song Shudi had just finished using the restroom and was washing her hands at the sink. Just then, Liu Xiyue changed her clothes and was about to remove her makeup at the sink.
The moment she opened the restroom door and saw Song Shudi in the mirror, Liu Xiyue felt time stand still. Her heart pounded violently, almost bursting out of her chest. For some reason, she felt an urge to cry, as if she had suddenly achieved success after hundreds of years of hard work—exciting yet feeling unreal.
Liu Xiyue’s eyes were red-rimmed; she couldn’t contain herself any longer and wanted to rush over and bring Song Shudi to her side. “Liu Xiyue!! Calm down!! She doesn’t know you yet.” 719 thought, “Oh no, oh no! I didn’t expect Song Shudi to be here at all. If I scare Song Shudi away now, it’ll be very difficult to win her over later.” Liu Xiyue pinched her palm, using the pain to force herself to calm down.
Yes… she couldn’t let Song Shudi realize her feelings now. This was an opportunity she had begged for, and she couldn’t miss it. Liu Xiyue forced herself to calm down, walked to Song Shudi’s side, and stiffly opened her makeup bag. “Classmate…” Finally, Liu Xiyue couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke to Song Shudi.
Song Shudi had already seen the female lead; she had kept her head down the whole time while washing her hands, intending to leave as soon as she was done. “What is it?” “Your clothes are wet. Keep them away from the sink when you wash your hands,” Liu Xiyue kindly reminded her, trying her best to suppress her emotions and not let Song Shudi notice anything. “Thank you.” After saying thank you in a flat tone, Song Shudi left without looking back. Liu Xiyue was left alone, secretly heartbroken.
She would occasionally glance at Song Shudi’s back. The deeper her love for Song Shudi, the more painful it was to see her back now.
