Zhou Feng never sought her out again, and Lin Xiaoxia had completely given up hope.
She received her graduate school acceptance letter with excellent grades, and the first thing she did was tear up the contract with the the Zhou graduates.
However, fate had other plans. She never expected that her master's research project would also be funded by the the Zhou, and even the experimental base was located at the the Zhou.
So, no matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice but to obediently stand before Zhou Feng, her heart aching as she watched him greet her politely yet distantly.
After finally making it out of Zhou Feng's office, just as the elevator was approaching, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.
Lin Xiaoxia quickly abandoned the elevator, opened the emergency exit door nearby, and ran inside.
Listening to the elevator hum as it descended, she felt a pang of regret.
She should have mustered the courage to take the elevator; even if it was awkward, it would have allowed them to be alone together for a little while longer.
Lost in thought, she couldn't help but tear up.
A pair of shiny leather shoes appeared in front of her.
Lin Xiaoxia looked up and saw Zhou Feng's smiling face. Without thinking, she immediately stood up and ran downstairs.
Zhou Feng swiftly caught her in his arms. Lin Xiaoxia shouted angrily and struggled against him, tears streaming down her face. Zhou Feng pinned her against the wall, silencing her sobs with his mouth. Lin Xiaoxia instantly quieted down.
Only then did Zhou Feng release her and say, "I remembered you would be coming to the the Zhou today for our first official meeting, so I rushed over to see you."
Lin Xiaoxia blinked through her blurry tears and took a look at him. He was indeed dressed differently from before; even his hairstyle had changed.
Lin Xiaoxia started crying again. It turned out he wasn't just intermittently crazy; he had a split personality.
Zhou Feng explained awkwardly that he had been busy with their wedding these days, which was why he hadn't come to see her.
The person she saw at the Graduation Reunion that day was the same Zhou Feng who had not yet fallen in love with her, which is why he was so indifferent towards her.
Lin Xiaoxia listened and cried even harder. Zhou Feng hurriedly said, "If you don't believe me, just try calling the number on my business card."
Lin Xiaoxia nervously took out her phone, looking at the phone number on the business card Zhou Feng had given her in the office, and dialed it.
The call connected, and Zhou Feng's cold voice came through: "Hello, this is Zhou Feng."
Lin Xiaoxia panicked and immediately hung up. Zhou Feng smiled at her, and Lin Xiaoxia bit her lip before dialing again.
On the other end of the line, Zhou Feng said impatiently, "Miss Lin, if you have something to say, please say it directly. I don't have time to play this hang-up game with you."
Believing him, Lin Xiaoxia hung up again without saying a word.
After parting ways with Zhou Feng, Lin Xiaoxia couldn't wait to verify everything he had said one by one.
The lottery winning numbers were announced immediately, and the results of the football match the next day all came true as Zhou Feng had mentioned.
Lin Xiaoxia sat dazed beside her grandfather Lin Jun at the nursing home, murmuring, "Grandpa, could it be that he really came from another time?"
Lin Jun ignored Lin Xiaoxia's mumbling and said to himself, "Durian, I want to eat durian."
An old man in Hello Kitty pajamas jumped out and started wrestling with Lin Jun: "Let you eat durian!"
Hearing this commotion, doctors and nurses rushed over to separate them.
To Lin Xiaoxia, this lively scene felt like watching a movie she had already seen a preview for; there was no novelty because Zhou Feng had already told her everything yesterday.
Nowadays, even the hair color of doctors and nurses is perfectly matched, which feels a bit strange to Lin Xiaoxia.
Zhou Feng rushed out from the door wearing a white T-shirt and grabbed the old man in pajamas.
Lin Xiaoxia, who had been watching from the side, suddenly stood up, took Zhou Feng's hand, and said, "I believe you now; you really are from another world. Let's get married."
Zhou Feng coldly shook off Lin Xiaoxia's hand and stepped back, saying, "Miss Lin, we only truly met yesterday. Have you been triggered by something?"
Ignoring his avoidance, Lin Xiaoxia lunged at him and hugged him tightly like a koala, saying, "It's okay if you don't like me now; soon you'll fall in love with me. I am your destined wife."
Lin Jun pretended to be dumbfounded and quietly asked Zhou Dong, "You old man, didn't you say that Zhou Feng would cure Lin Xiaoxia's blood phobia as an apology? Why did you let my granddaughter be taken away by your grandson?"
Zhou Dong stopped what he was doing and said, "Tch, now that Xia is willing to study medicine, isn't that more to your liking? Besides, isn't my grandson handsome enough that he has wronged your girl?"
Lin Jun made a face as if he had swallowed a fly and said, "You shouldn't have let him deceive Lin Xiaoxia into thinking he came from another world. How will he explain the lie later?"
Zhou Dong sighed and replied, "What else can we do? How do we explain Zhou Feng suddenly appearing and often disappearing? We can't just tell her that Zhou Feng is the one who almost hit her; he has to go back to manage the the Zhou. You have no idea how much I spent arranging mentors, volunteers, and those so-called prophecies just to get them together and make her believe it. Thinking about it now makes me ache. But luckily, the good fortune stays within our family; at least she is willing to work for the the Zhou as a top student."
Lin Jun looked up at the leisurely Lin Tian and thought with schadenfreude: If it weren't for Zhou Feng, how could his little Xia have this worry? She stubbornly refuses to inherit our family's medical skills.
If Xia ever finds out that everything was a scheme set up by this old man to help Zhou Feng, she will surely serve him meals and tea laced with poison every day... Haha!
