Su Wan'er's features were perfect, her pair of clear, bright eyes seemed to hold a thousand tender emotions, and her aura was exceptionally pure.
She also possessed the crystalline skin unique to young maidens.
Her figure was also exceptionally good.
She didn't sit perfectly straight, but the curves at her desk were still very noticeable.
Anyone who glanced her way generally couldn't tear their eyes away.
She was a truly stunningly beautiful young woman.
Around her sat only girls, not a single boy.
It was understandable.
Which boy could sit near her and still focus on studying?
Moreover, normal university campuses inherently had fewer males.
And for a top campus beauty like Su Wan'er, most boys felt a bit inferior facing her.
Naturally, no one would shamelessly approach her.
The more beautiful a girl was, the fewer suitors she had; that was the logic.
Wang Yu sat down across from Su Wan'er's desk.
Su Wan'er looked up and glanced at Wang Yu.
She frowned slightly.
Although the boy in front of her was clean-cut and handsome, clean-cut boys weren't uncommon at a normal university.
There were quite a few, in fact, a higher proportion than at other schools.
Of course, it was rare to find someone like Wang Yu with a facial value score in the eighties.
However, Su Wan'er still looked displeased.
Because Wang Yu hadn't brought any books, she assumed he was another one trying to chat her up.
Su Wan'er lowered her head to study again. She had encountered this situation before.
Generally, as long as she ignored them, the boys trying to chat her up would eventually leave in embarrassment.
This was a library, where talking was forbidden, and harassing girls was also not allowed.
Seeing that Su Wan'er was ignoring him, Wang Yu didn't mind.
He extended his hand and waved it in front of her, conjuring a rose.
He had bought some things on his way.
Su Wan'er's beautiful eyes widened, looking at Wang Yu in surprise.
Was this magic?
Weren't they saying magic was all sleight of hand?
At such close proximity, why couldn't she see any flaw?
This display also attracted the attention of a few girls nearby who could see.
Wang Yu waved his hand again, conjuring a cup of milk tea.
The flavor was one Su Wan'er liked; that wasn't hard to find out.
Su Wan'er's beautiful large eyes opened even wider.
A girl next to her also gasped in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth.
But this sound immediately drew the attention of some people around them.
Wang Yu smiled, then conjured paper and a pen, writing on it: "My name is Wang Yu, may I invite you to speak a few words in the outer corridor?"
Seeing that everyone around was staring at her, Su Wan'er couldn't help but feel a flush of embarrassment.
Although she was known as the aloof campus beauty among her classmates, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
No one's heart was made of stone, and Su Wan'er was also a young maiden.
Of course, she also liked romance and longed for it.
After a moment of hesitation, she still stood up and followed Wang Yu outside.
Her ethereal white dress also captured everyone's attention.
Upon reaching the corridor, Wang Yu offered an apologetic smile first.
Then he said, "I'm sorry for disturbing your studies."
"As you can see, I'm a magician, and I'm a student from the neighboring Haixin University."
"I happened to see your photo yesterday, and I felt that we might have some connection."
"So I took the liberty to disturb you, and I hope you don't mind too much."
Wang Yu's words were cliché, but his method of approach was novel.
And his words were perfectly reasonable.
In the eyes of others, wasn't he performing magic?
They might have a connection, and now they did, didn't they?
So, everything was fine!
Su Wan'er quickly waved her delicate hand, "No, it's... it's alright."
"Thank you for the gift, you... do you need anything else from me?"
"If not, I need to get back to studying."
Although Su Wan'er's expression was rather calm, her words indicated that she was still shy.
After all, aloof campus beauties generally had little romantic experience.
Especially those from normal universities.
Some girls spent four years as if they were in a convent,
barely speaking to a few boys.
Wang Yu looked at the "Ice Queen" before him and found it somewhat amusing.
"It's like this, I'm not an ordinary magician."
"Sometimes I can foresee certain events."
"When I saw your photo yesterday, I felt that something big might happen to you recently."
"This feeling grew stronger today, so I wanted to come and remind you."
Su Wan'er clearly didn't quite believe him.
If it was just to chat her up, why bring up metaphysics?
But she still responded politely, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll keep it in mind."
Wang Yu nodded and conjured another gift box.
Inside were two "Secret Realm Exotic Fruits."
"Please accept this, it will be beneficial for your health if you eat it."
"You can try eating one first, and remember, you must not give the other one to anyone else, even if you don't eat it."
Wang Yu's actions were to increase his favorability in her eyes.
Secondly, it was to help Su Wan'er more smoothly navigate the early stages of the apocalypse.
After all, he intended to have her in the future, so it was good to treat her well first.
As for whether she would be a subordinate or...
That would depend on the situation; Wang Yu no longer cared much about romantic feelings.
In the apocalypse, human hearts were truly unfathomable.
Kinship, friendship, love – all could be false, only self-interest was ever true.
In the apocalypse, everyone might not see the sun tomorrow.
Being too attached to emotions was a weakness and could be exploited.
Su Wan'er accepted the exotic fruits, thanked him again, and returned.
In fact, Wang Yu could have asked Su Wan'er not to leave Haixin City for the next few days.
He could have saved her directly when the apocalypse broke out and kept her by his side to train her.
He believed that with her talent, she could ascend to the Emperor rank.
But doing so might change many things.
Wang Yu didn't want the trajectory of the apocalypse to change too much.
This was not conducive to his own development.
...
With nothing else immediate to do, Wang Yu went home and had dinner.
After thinking for a moment, he returned to Haixin University.
He strolled through the campus, enjoying the moment of peace and beauty.
It was still early, only eight in the evening.
He watched the affectionate couples by the Mirror Lake, the men and women exercising on the track,
and the small groups chatting and laughing on the central lawn of the sports field.
Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Compared to the harsh survival environment after the apocalypse, the life on campus now
could be called "carefree and uninhibited" without exaggeration.
In the apocalypse, you wouldn't eat or sleep well.
You wouldn't even play well.
Firstly, there were few entertainment activities, and secondly, every day was precarious.
There was constant fear and anxiety.
Under such prolonged stress, who would have much inclination to play?
As he was contemplating, a dazzling white light suddenly erupted on the sports field lawn.
A handsome man in well-fitting attire and a well-proportioned figure walked into the spotlight.
Someone beside him immediately handed him a large bouquet of roses.
The handsome man accepted the roses, and the spotlight immediately shifted to a beautiful woman in a long dress not far in front of him.
My goodness, a lighting technician and an assistant for a proposal?
They really knew how to do it.
But it made sense, today was May 17th, and May 20th was approaching.
It was normal for people to confess their love on a university campus.
Wang Yu smiled, intending to get closer and join the fun.
If he didn't join now, it would be difficult to watch such scenes in a few days.
"It's... Zhou Ruoxi?!"
From Wang Yu's initial angle, he could only see the backs of the man proposing and the woman.
He couldn't see the woman's face.
When he moved closer and adjusted his angle, he realized.
The woman the man was proposing to.
Was actually Zhou Ruoxi, the wife he had in his previous life!
Wang Yu hadn't expected that the first time he saw Zhou Ruoxi after his rebirth, it would be in such a scene.
Zhou Ruoxi, wearing a pale blue floral dress, stood gracefully.
"Qin Lang, what's the point of you going to so much trouble? I've told you long ago that I don't like you!"
Zhou Ruoxi frowned, her tone very displeased.
"Heh, Ruoxi, I know you've never had a boyfriend. Why not try to accept me?"
"You should understand my feelings. I truly like you. This time of over a year should be enough proof, right?"
Observing from a closer distance, Wang Yu realized that this Qin Lang was indeed quite handsome.
Slightly more handsome than himself.
And judging by his attire, he probably came from a good family.
Zhou Ruoxi felt very speechless.
She didn't know why, but she had never been very interested in men.
Even Qin Lang, who was handsome and wealthy, didn't stir any feelings in her.
Moreover, his persistent harassment over a long period had made her somewhat disgusted.
Sometimes she even doubted herself.
Did she not like women?
But fortunately, she didn't have any special feelings for women yet.
"Qin Lang, I'll say it one last time, I don't like you, and I have no intention of dating anyone at the moment. Please stop bothering me!"
Zhou Ruoxi left, leaving with great elegance.
In stark contrast was the stunned crowd of onlookers.
And Qin Lang, whose expression grew increasingly gloomy.
He watched Zhou Ruoxi's retreating figure until she disappeared from his sight.
Then, he threw the bouquet of roses on the ground and left without looking back.
"So there was such a past event."
"It seems this Qin Lang didn't live long in the previous life, and even if he did, he was probably an ordinary character."
"Heh, interesting..."
