Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Shen Feng’s Arch-Nemesis in the Original Book

The campus of North City University was lined with ginkgo trees. At this time of year, only some of their leaves had turned yellow; most were still green. The view was lovely when a gentle breeze rustled through them.

Qin Jiao picked up her textbooks, but since there were so many, she stored them at the library for the time being. Then, she decided to read in the library while she waited for her meeting.

After being so busy for so long, this was the first time she’d been able to truly relax. Sunlight streamed through the glass window, landing on the yellow-painted table. For some reason, Qin Jiao felt a sense of tranquil peace.

’So it turns out that if you just work a little harder, your life can be completely different.’

But this leisurely mood was quickly interrupted.

A young man in a white shirt and black trousers sat down beside Qin Jiao with a smile and said, "I’m not disturbing you, am I?"

His smile was incredibly warm. He was handsome, with a particularly clean-cut air about him.

This was the same senior Qin Jiao had seen surrounded by a group of girls when she first registered. He was also the president of their law school’s student council, Xu Zhengyang.

In truth, this Xu Zhengyang was a significant figure. In that chronicle novel, he had been another one of the male lead’s powerful rivals.

He had nearly stolen Qin Jiao away from Shen Feng. freewebnoveℓ.com

Later, because Lin Nian interfered with the plot, Qin Jiao had married early and never attended North City University. And while Xu Zhengyang and Shen Feng were still at each other’s throats, their conflict no longer involved a love triangle.

And now, Qin Jiao had returned to study at North City University. But Shen Feng, due to the changes, hadn’t managed to get in. Yet the moment Xu Zhengyang saw Qin Jiao, his heart still skipped a beat.

In that respect, he was a bit like Shen Feng, but not entirely. At the very least, Xu Zhengyang lived up to his name—he was an upright person and wouldn’t do anything too out of line.

So, even though he had interrupted her, Qin Jiao wasn’t angry. She simply replied in a level tone, "It’s fine, Senior."

"Are you getting ready for the freshman orientation meeting?"

"Mhm."

Xu Zhengyang put down his book. "Don’t let Li Man and her friends get to you," he said. "But it really is best to start piano when you’re young. It’s a little late to start now."

"It’s just a hobby." The mention of a piano suddenly reminded her of something. ’I’ll have to ask Shen Yi later where his family’s old piano is.’

’Or maybe they don’t even have it yet? It’s his family’s business, so I wouldn’t really know.’

Xu Zhengyang thought for a moment, then took out a pen and jotted down a phone number. "My younger sister used to take piano lessons from this teacher," he said. "He doesn’t live too far from North City University. If you want to learn, you could give him a call."

"Thank you, Senior." Qin Jiao took the paper with the number and replied, her tone lukewarm.

Xu Zhengyang could sense her deliberate distance, so he didn’t press the matter. He made an excuse, stood up, and left.

His departure made Qin Jiao breathe a sigh of relief. She settled back down and read peacefully for a while longer. When she saw it was almost time, she left for her class meeting.

The counselor was a young-looking man who didn’t seem much older than Qin Jiao and her classmates. He smiled and said, "I actually graduated from my master’s program three years ago, but you’re welcome to call me ’Senior’ if you’d like. University classes are a lot more relaxed than high school, but that doesn’t mean you can slack off. Make sure you don’t fail your final exams."

"We won’t, we won’t!" the students all replied with a laugh.
