Chapter 1288: Three Years Later!!!
Wen Xinya strolled around the campus grounds of Capital University. Staring at the fresh faces in front of her who were full of life and vigor, she suddenly remembered that it was the start of a fresh semester and the freshmen had just returned to campus after completing the military training program.
She could not help but recall the times when she first got admitted to Capital University and felt like they had been replaced by the fresh batches of freshmen.
“Ah, are my eyes playing tricks on me? That’s… that’s Senior Wen. She’s actually in school today!”
“Oh gosh! It really is Senior Wen! It’s my first time being so up close to Senior Wen. She really is beautiful and elegant!”
“Who’s Senior Wen? Why do all of you seem so excited?”
“You’re a freshman from abroad. It’s only normal that you won’t know who Senior Wen is. Senior Wen is the heiress of the Wen Family, Wen Xinya. She’s also Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter. She’s a legendary figure of Capital University.”
“When Senior Wen was in Year One of university, she took part in the Heiress’ Gala held at Boya Pavilion and emerged victorious because of her impeccable performance in the four arts. She even received praise from the owner of Boya Pavilion for being virtuous, talented and wise. She’s known as a lady of talent in Capital city.”
“Since she started Year Two, Senior Wen’s tutor, Teacher Ji Shihan began promoting her and sending her for various major jewelry design contests in the nation. She’s also very reputable for her talent in jewelry design.”
“In Year Three, Senior Wen began taking part in international jewelry design competitions and she had also participated in an Asian Jewelry Design competition organized by the Jewelers’ Association of Harbor City. She emerged as champion and the Jeweler’s Association even invited her to become an honorary member of the association. However, she turned them down on the spot.”
“Next, she attended a creative jewelry design held by the Italian jewelry association and once again, created a miracle. At twenty years old, she became the youngest champion of jewelry design in history.”
“One of the esteemed designers belonging to the international French Vogue Jeweler’s Committee made a comment about Senior Wen’s masterpieces during an interview with Vogue Magazine. He said, ‘She has incredible talent in jewelry design and we’re looking forward to seeing her performance in the French Vogue Jewelry Competition’. She managed to spark an uproar in the world of jewelry design!”
“You probably don’t know this, but most of the students accepted by Capital University’s school of design this year are elite talents in design from all over the world. They’re all here because of their admiration towards Senior Wen and they’re all eager to witness her grace in person.”
“The authorities of Capital University have also admitted that Senior Wen is the most outstanding student of the faculty design in the past twenty years. She’s going to have endless achievements in the future.”
“The president of the Chinese International Jeweler’s Committee has once invited Miss Wen to become an honorary member of the committee and she has now become a prestigious member of the committee. The committee regards her very highly.”
“Two years ago, Miss Wen joined the Wen Corporation’s jewelry design team and she has now become the head designer of the corporation. All of the pieces designed by her will become the top and most extravagant jewelry sold by the Wen Corporation.”
The group of girls rattled on and on enthusiastically about Wen Xinya’s honorable achievements throughout the past three years and even got extremely excited. It was as if they were bragging about themselves.
At the same time, their description had also caught the attention of many other freshmen and even some students from Year Two and Year Three, all of whom stepped in to listen curiously.
All of a sudden, the freshmen began actively discussing about Wen Xinya, who seemed to have become a trend.
Wen Xinya had no idea that she would be having an army of loyal and die-hard fans, all of whom were the students of the university.
At the same time, Wen Xinya’s juniors began crowding around the narrow walkway that led to the school of design.
“Senior Wen, I really admire you. Can I please have your autograph?”
“Senior Wen, you’re really incredible and I like you so much. I’m studying jewelry design, too. May I join your jewelry design club?”
“Senior Wen, I really like the jewelry that you’ve designed and I even have a collection of them. I’m now wearing the Autumn jewelry series that you’ve designed for the Wen Corporation. I bought it as soon as it launched.”
Wen Xinya knew that Capital University had a part to play in her immense popularity. However, the enthusiasm of the juniors who were asking for an autograph and a photo with her made her feel just like a celebrity!
Ever since she started Year Three, she had been attending school less frequently. Now that she was in her fourth year, she would only go to school for administrative purposes. It had been a month since she went to school. To her surprise… she got surrounded by her fans when she went to school today upon Teacher Ji’s request.
Are the juniors nowadays all so enthusiastic?
Wen Xinya finally broke free from the crowd. As soon as she did, she caught sight of Du Ruoxin leaning against the artificial mountain with folded arms and a smirk on her face.
Wen Xinya’s face grew sullen and she chided. “You saw me getting surrounded and you didn’t even come forth to help me. Call yourself a friend.”
Over the course of three years, Wen Xinya and Du Ruoxin got to know each other better and went from acquaintances who guarded against each other to close friends. Hence, it was normal for them to bicker with each other.
Du Ruoxin raised her chin and said, “I like seeing you getting caught in an awkward situation. Why should I have helped you?”
She loved watching dramatic scenes occur, especially when Wen Xinya was involved.
Glaring at her, Wen Xinya rebuked. “Are you really my friend? Are you sure we’re not enemies?”
Du Ruoxin was more or less still the same, though she was less mean and sharp-tongued as she used to be. She could not be bothered to speak to strangers, but she would be able to kill those who provoked her with a deadly and derisive stare.
Just like Wen Xinya, Du Ruoxin was also a legendary figure in Capital University. However, the difference was that Du Ruoxin was known for her beautiful looks and had become the belle of the campus. However, her sharp tongue resulted in her being nicknamed as a “Poisonous Peony”.
Du Ruoxin rolled her eyes at her and gibed. “Did all the nutrition from your food go to your chest? You’re still so simple-minded.”
She then glanced at Wen Xinya’s chest which seemed to be the perfect cup size, 34C. She then looked at her… 34A cup size. She had no choice but to admit that she was jealous.
Wen Xinya thought to herself angrily, Jealousy. It must be jealousy. What’s wrong with my 34C cup size? Si Yiyan already said that it’s the perfect size.
Staring at Du Ruoxin’s chest, she retorted. “Well, at least I’m not just tall and flat-chested like someone here.”
Du Ruoxin had grown another few inches taller in the past three years and was now standing at 1.75 meters tall. It was the most common height amongst Chinese men.
It was Du Ruoxin’s turn to pull a long face.
